Trivia

We girls were wondering:

Does it gross guys out when girls burp?

Some say no, some say yes. Not that we were planning on going around belching obnoxiously, but we were just curious as to the overall opinion.
Enlightenment? Answers? Opinions? Theories? Hypothesis?

On a brighter note, I found out the other day that someone got Abby's 2.4 seconds-left-in-the-game 3-point shot on tape!! I can't wait to see it...

I think my answer to that would have to be "Who cares?" Men in general have labored for far too long under the delusion that women have no bodily functions. God forbid we ever sweat or burp or do any of the gross things THEY do in front of us.

I don't know. But Josh doesn't like it when I say, "I have to pee." He wants me to say "I have to use the bathroom" or something more vague.
Silly boys.

You want a guy to be a gentleman?--Act like a lady!

On a more balanced note, I will concede that it does no good for a guy to think that a girl (particularly when they're going out, and especially if marriage is looming its ugly head on the horizon--realize that married people are naked together) is a perfect barbie doll who farts roses. Guys should recognize that no real live woman is like the fantasies that are plastered all over the entertainment industry, nor should she be.

Bodily functions are not anathema, nor should a girl shove them down a guy's throat, just to wake him up from his fantasy world. Believe me, you (speaking generally: "y'all") each have plenty of little reminders (and one really really BIG one every 28 days or so) that we all live in the real world.

*/tongue-in-cheek*

Please keep in mind that guys, with eachother, are often overly expressive of their bodily functions, and a guy may be seeking a mature depatrure from such vulgarities as a sign of his value of your relationship. This certainly applies to romantic relationships, but I think more so to platonic ones, because the rapport is based less on commraderie derived from common experiences and more on commonness of outlook and respect and value of character. At least, such has been my experience.

So, certainly, don't shove it down guys' throats, but don't be too self-concious about it either.

It really isn't that big a deal.

... and beck, I exhort you to submit yourself to the wishes of your betrothed, as unto the Lord.

It it less of a shock to guys if the girl who is doing the burping is not someone the guy is attracted to. It is a bit of a turnoff. I'm not saying it's the end of the world to guys, but Tim has a point. If you want to be thought of and treated like a lady, act like one. And the same goes for us guys(except replace lady with gentleman).

Thank thee, brother Tim, for thine exhortation. It doth require much wisdom to assertain which battle should be fought.
And I'm so not kidding.
