1. Whenever I’m talking to my friend X in public, and a beautiful woman passes by, he could be in mid-speech, and he would stop and stare at her from head to toe until she’s out of sight (think of the scene in cartoons where the eyes are popping out), then he would inevitably turn to me and say: “I really need to get married“.
So the question is will he stop doing that after he’s married ?
2. This morning I found an email in my inbox with the subject: “When I was your age we had 8 inch floppies“.
The original floppy disk was 5 1/4 inches, but this e-mail was not referring to computer equipment.
3.Yesterday I took a taxi to work as I do every week day. Five minutes after I got in, we were on the freeway, and the driver put on a blutooth headset, and phoned a woman. He flirted with her for 15 minutes while I was pretending to be somewhere else hoping we don’t crash. Finally they agreed to meet at midnight, and he hung up.
Driver: That wasn’t my wife. I know it’s haram, but what can I do, I can’t afford to get married, and Abu Ali is at my throat.
Hani: Aha (thinking: I don’t wanna hear about Abu Ali damn it)
Driver: So, are you married?
Hani: No!
Driver: How old are you ?
Hani: 30.
Driver: Have you ever used IT?
Hani: !@#$%^&* (insert random spur of the moment obscene expletives here)
Anyhow by the end of the cab ride, he had asked how much money I make, whether I own my own apartment, what religion I follow, and of course where do I come from. All of which I decided not to answer. Where do they make people like that ?

yuk! :barf:
what i cant stand is why do ppl only focus on their and others’ genitals! life is so much more than just that!
i truly believe there is a big fault in the technique we raise our kids, siyaset w mabda2 il3eib shud be dealt with differently, and taught differently, coz all whats happening is we’re focusing their attention on what they shud NOT be thinking of which makes then in the end totally fixated on it and lose out on the important things in life. it becomes an obsession eventually.
and to answer ur first Q, no! coz he doesnt know why he’s getting married for in the first place!!! he will still eye out other ‘hot’ women 7atta law tjawaz la2anno bas getting married to get laid. and thats sad and sick!

RE: #1, I do that. It is not about being married. I always admire beauty.

What in the world is an “IT”? Wasn’t the taxi driver speakng to his girl-friend on the cell phone?
And just put yourself in this man’s future wife’s place and shoes for a second.
Can you feel her pain?As he looks at other women,and even others can see it, not just his woman.I sure can,and it makes me want to hold her in my arms and let her know how very special she is,that she is a beautiful woman.

Chika That can be a two edged sword. It gets easier to think without IT as time goes by though!
Proudpali Salamtik. True I don’t see women discussing theirs together although I wonder if they discuss their husbands when no one else is around :)
Forbidden fruit is always considered the sweetest!
Mab3oos Casual Admiration is one thing. Interrupting whatever you are doing to stare at a woman for 30 seconds straight is another. I’ve seen people do this while they’re driving. It’s also a bit rude to do that in the middle of a conversation with someone.
Adoosh I suppose it’s less the flirting with his gf part that bothered me than the possibility of crashing because he wasn’t paying attention to the road, and the really rude questions he would ask.
Crystal I’m not sure how to explain what IT is in a polite way, but see proudpali’s comment above! Yeah the taxi driver was on the phone with her, and we nearly crashed into a truck a couple of times. About the oogler, I’ve seen men do that with their wife right next to them, and it hurts me. Your empathy is an example for us all.
Lost Within I agree he won’t. I’m not familiar with that book, but as I take a cab every day to work, I’ve encountered much worse.

I hate holding conversations with cab drivers - not because they’re not human but often the questions they ask are revolting, like you have displayed.
Regarding the topic itself, I firmly believe that since sex has been untabooed it has become the topic on everyone’s minds. I can’t believe that youngsters now talk about it; I was embarrassed at the site of two boys the other day (younger cousins of a friend) discussing in a graphic way some stuff and they’re not of age yet.

Hamede Indeed, but it is our home, the good and the bad parts.
KJ I try not to have conversations with them. I always have my walkman on when I go to work, but some of them can’t take a hint, they start asking what you’re listening to. One of them even asked me to give him a headphone so that he can listen along. Another was insulted that I didn’t like HIS taste in music and turned up the radio so loud we could have gone deaf!
I find it’s still more taboo for me than most of the people I know! What did I miss growing up :)

Hani, you haven’t missed much. In fact, any sane person would envy you cuz you’re respectful of other people when it comes to this topic.
I have a belief that with the minimum mental capacity met, anything can be learned. But learning something at the right age and/or at the right time/circumstances will have a more profound impact. I find it bewildering that kids are discussing kama sutra when they should be learning more useful stuff they can actually use at their age.
