[Closed] "You would though, wouldn't you.... "

That ^^ isn't how I understand the expression. The way I'd use it if there is some issue with said person that make them outside the normal criteria of saying yes by default. ie.

A) Julia Margulies - older (to me)enough to have a slight top wrinky top lip and with non traditional looks/heavy eyebrows. You would though, wouldn't you?

Where it comes from?

Natural selection. The less fussy men over the millenia have produced more offspring than the fussy ones. Reversion to the mean tells you that the offspring will be fine. You're an evolutionary throwback....

Where on earth does the idea that 'if it's available it's worth fornicating with regardless' come from?

Somewhere very deep down in our genome from a very distant point in evolutionary history.

logically not that distant, its still pretty relevant, those that would often and do, and so pass it on.

If she isn't, there's no way in the world I'm putting my prize vegetables anywhere near it thank you very much!

3 pints is usually a game changer in my experience.

It could be worse. One of my mates just says "Aye aye" while rubbing one of his nipples. Usually the left one. 😕

I see it more as a "despite the personality..."
Like Emma Way... (not really, of course)

In that case:

6... and a couple of shots.

But for me, as sex isn't a thing that men DO to women (I mean, if that's the case why not a hand/horse/apple pie?), more of a thing that two people do together, personality comes into it. I've been known to actually converse with women during sex (I known, shocking), and if the lady isn't stimulating on a mental level, well there's just no point.

An Emma Way comment was my motivation for this thread.

What kind of subjects do you tend to bring up?

"Oh that reminds me the drains are blocked up again..."

I'm not sure what's funnier, this:

or this

Are you plotting fornication or a political debate?

Just checking - that really means 'awake' doesn't it? 😉

See I have a friend who finds stupid women attractive cos they're easier, where as I'm inclined to side a bit more with Tucker, I'm not willing to talk to someone vacuous and empty just for a shag. I get bored, then irritated, then I'm digging another hole on the moors by moonlight...

Now that's multitasking!

Edlong, Helen Mirren, absolutely!!! Plus Dana Delaney ( thing for older women you see)

Carol Vorderman hmmm 😛

I think it is used along the lines of the old Viz "Borderline Boilers"?

You and I Sir, differ.

I love a good sexing, and to be absolutely honest enthusiasm for the idea is more attractive to me than almost any other characteristic in a potential intercourse-chum. I have preferences certainly, but in general, I would. 🙂

The amounts of alcohol required to get me to the stage of even considering saying, "oh go on then" would render me incapable of actually saying "oh go on then", never mind actually being capable of "going on". In fact I am more likely to commit suicide by diving into a vat of 100% proof alcohol and trying to absorb it all through osmosis than even thinking about it.

Even writing that statement has made me feel so disgustingly dirty that I am reaching for the vodka right now.

I have no useful contribution to make.

To me the phrase means this

Me:
"She's 'orrid, what were you thinking of?"

Other man: "You would though, wouldn't you" smileywinkeyface

Me: "See what you mean".

Exactly!

I take this expression to mean that while you may not want to marry them, on a score of 1 to 10 you'd give them one.

Oh how much a woman can learn from reading this forum 😯

Yeah this is probably the thread equivelent of a Gentlemens Club... 😳

If you could wait in reception please...

What about Helen Mirren? I'd do Helen Mirren without a seconds thought.

Genuine tears at this whole thread.

In my circles of mates I think it's an attempt to be just a bit more honest. So if a (morally reprehensible, obviously) conversation happens to go along the lines of "I hate so and so, she's just irritating/ unattractive/ not someone I like", after about 5 seconds of reflection, both sides of the conversation will generally realise that, being morally reprehensible specimens, if said lady was actually available and either of us had any chance whatsoever... well, you wouldn't say no really.

As opposed to "If I were single, and she were single, and we'd both had a bit to drink, and we happened to both be naked in the same place, I would actually say to her 'no thanks love, I'm not interested' ".

It sounds like some chaps on this thread are rather more upstanding though, which is to be applauded

The main thing is, despite appearances, it's not populated entirely by silly over imaginative teenage boys :-/

And despite all the disappearances - I was just kidding.

Aaah, that old one.

Amazing!

Very little indeed I would have thought. 😉

I suspect women learn that men are pretty much the same as them, but it's more culturally acceptable to voice it...

*feels strangely isolated knowing that you "blokey" blokes and I, really do have such a very different outlook on life* 😕

with dutch courage i find that once i'm at the point of saying "yeah, f$%k it, let's do it" i'm beyond the point of being able to do it.

Emma Way, so many ways, many of them wrong ways... for the good of humanity. maybe.

there was a lady at a wedding i attended last weekend. she was over 80. if you didn't know that you would have guessed mid-60s and would have said (in fact i think i did) "you would though, wouldn't you".

[i]she was over 80[/i]
[i]"you would though, wouldn't you"[/i]

😯

Sums up the reality of the phrase to me.. you say "you would", but there's no way you actually "would".

(Yay, BigDummy!)

I always assumed that the phrase was targeted, much as Tucker thought, at ladies who while having some fundamentally abhorrent characteristic, would still be acceptable to take to bed.

So you might discuss the poor personality defects of Emma Way while still accepting that you'd quite happily have sex with her.

So in that respect, I guess I'm about 50/50. Not with Emma Way, I don't find her attractive at all but there have been women in the past who fit the criteria of NO and yet still, there's something there that says yes.

I'm not proud of this, I can only apologise. I am but a man and half my brain is in my trousers. I applaud those that have managed to raise the bar.

You would though in fairness, wouldn't you 😉 . If said woman crawled into bed with you on a cold winters night you might not complain.

When single,I always took the view that if a woman asked,it would be churlish to refuse,although once or twice I had to talk them out of it.

no, but the GF might...

The only criteria I look for in a female is a pulse.

i still take a fair dollop of pride in that my mates used to call me ''the man with no standards'' i specialised in the attractive girls mates, those who had strayed once to often to the pie factory and those who only came out in the dark so not to frighten children..i myself was of course perfect and was often called Richard by many ladies i engaged in converstaion.. my milk white complextion and lack of body fat and muscle, shoulder length greasy hair ( with a crimped fringe) and self embroidered denim jacket ensured a steady though infrequent supply of the fairer sex

although i have kept a guilty secret from them almost 35 years.. as an 18yr old ( almost) in a night club i repeatedly turned down the increasingly desperate advances of a friend of one of my mates mothers.. should have given her the benifit of the doubt i suppose..

ha ha - you guys make me laugh. Which is very welcome as i have been in a major sulk after an attempted break-in at my house last night.

The number of you that claim to have standards is actually reassuring - having officially sworn myself of the whole dating thing some time ago it almost gives me hope - or maybe that was just today's sunshine.

You're going to have to bear with me on this, don't start throwing stones until you've read it all.

My MiL is distinctly presentable for a 70 year old lady. I wouldn't *quite* bring myself to the point of 'you would, wouldn't you', but if i was maybe 20 years older and the age gap not so big then I might be in that camp.

Which i'm hoping is a good sign, if her daughter continues to develop the same traits and characteristics, then maybe in 20 years time 'I will be, won't I'

Apologies to readers under 30 retching at the thought of Granny sex.

The number of you that [b]claim[/b] to have standards

....is the key IMO. To be honest, I'm hoping this thread is read with the tongue in cheek mode that most of posts are meant to be!

Very sorry to hear of attempted intruders; most upsetting I know from experience.

Hugs etc x

'i never thought i'd ever be doing this to a pensioner'

A classic line my ex's mum came out with a breakfast soon after her 60th birthday - she told us all how his Dad had been quite amused by the idea the night before

We were quite shocked for her to come out with it - over breakfast with kids about, but good on them.

Thank you BN, very upsetting and completely scuppered the Welsh Ride Thing for me this weekend as i couldn't leave everything unsecure.

Just glad the two youngest were at their Dad's. Did make me feel like i needed a man around briefly today - but soon fixed padlocks on everything and installed an alarm and feeling much more empowered now 🙂

Edit: yes appreciate the tounge in cheek-ness of much on here (my own post definitely included in that!)

Nothing like a few padlocks and the use of a screwdriver to empower some manliness; well it works for me. Buy a big torch too 🙂

Without wishing to make a sweeping statements that will get the budding statisticians all foamy-mouthed, but the fact that they've had a go at yours means you're probably safer than the average now; so sleep easy x

No screw drivers - powertools all they way 🙂

I wish it were the case but since I have lived here there has been a steady stream of attempts to get my bikes. They have succeeded twice - the first was my old kawasaki and they then got my Orange. The police recivered the motorbike and I recovered the orange.

Just have to be so careful and hope one day I can afford to live somewhere better :-/

Did make me feel like i needed a man around briefly

Nope, just one of these:

Seychelles? Let me know if you need a Business Analyst when you get there 🙂

I need one of those? To take my pedals off so they can't ride away on my bike, or maybe I could throw the pedals at them - time pedals are fairly hefty so they would hurt I guess.

Or just attack them with it - yes you would, wouldn't you .... (just in case we drifting too far off topic!)

Ah yes I would also do the Seychelles too!

Nope, just one of these:

I have no idea what that is.... 😯
