Always wondered something about the opposite gender? Here is your chance to ask (and have it possibly answered!). This is a fun thread, please keep it clean and nice. This is not the thread to get bitter and say "I've always wondered how women manage to break my heart" or "I've always wondered why men are so untrustworthy" blah blah.

No. Stahp now.

Please also keep in mind these are generalizations. Not every man is going to fit the description of the ladies' questions and vice versa.

Maybe yall don't have as many questions as I do, I'm always full of questions, but now that the disclaimers are out of the way....

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I've always wondered what it would feel like to have a deep voice. Just...effortlessly deep. I can sing some tenor (as well as alto and soprano) but to just talk that way? I think it'd be cool.

I've always wondered what it would feel like to have a beard. Are they itchy? Do they really keep your face warm? Do you...wash it and condition it?

I've had a beard in the past and, yes, it does keep your face warm - you notice this quite a bit after shaving it off. Being that a beard is hair, I used to wash mine with the same shampoo that I used on my head, but I never used conditioner. It was more work than I was willing to devote to it so I eventually shaved it off. I don't recall mine ever itching, though.

I never even notice my beard, but in general they can be itchy in-between beard and no beard lol. I've never had a full face one because I just like the simplicity of a thin goatee. Thick beards definitely keep the face warm, though.

My question for women is, do you taste your lipstick while eating/drinking? I would hate that...

Sometimes. For me it doesn't taste too well. It is a little better if it is a fruity lip gloss or something.

Don't ask me why, my sister had a problem with chapped lips and she kept licking the carmex off her lips. My grandma told her to try Vicks Vapor Rub and she loved licking it off. Disgusting!

My aunt can go from soprano to baritone. She's not quite Sandi Patti, but close enough for our small town. As for talking deep, it's not as cool as you think. It's harder to make yourself heard in a crowd. I have no idea about the beard, but I've heard it only itches for the first month while it's growing out, then it doesn't itch any more.


One thing I've wondered for some time - why do I not see more women playing strings? I see a lot of bands with guys playing guitar while women do the vocals. If a woman is on an instrument it's usually a keyboard. Yes I know there are exceptions - lil_christian for one - but usually I see guys playing the guitar. Is this a modern stereotype or is there something about a guitar that women don't like?

I am new to the world of facial hair, so I am also curious about the conditioning thing. I know next to nothing about maintaining a beard. But I hate shaving, so...

Now my question for the ladies:

I always wondered what it would be like to have...oh wait...can't ask that here...:p

I've always wondered how men do it to have hair on their face! I imagine it would be itchy?

Seems like it would be very waxy... like flavored paint :p. Actually I wouldn't mind if it was citrus-y.

Only when first growing it. If you keep it short enough, or long enough, it doesn't really itch.

Lower pitched notes tend to propagate through things, so that means a person with a deep voice would be heard more clearly by people in a different room. Lower pitches also travel longer distances, so if a deep voiced person was yelling to someone far away, that person would have to exert less effort to be heard than a person with a higher pitched voice. Lower pitches also create larger pressure waves, which is the reason why subwoofers seem to vibrate everything around them. Thus having a deeper voice would mean that your throat and head would vibrate more than if you had a higher pitch voice.:)


At a home schooling folk dance I go to, 90% of the ladies dance barefoot, and 90% of the guys wear shoes. Why do the ladies go barefoot?

This. It seems like when it gets to a certain length, it tends to be more itchy, but not the type that drives you crazy. I've found that because my skin seems to get oily so easily, that I would feel the need to shampoo my beard if it even got an inch and a half long but before then I don't really worry about it.
And I'm not convinced that it keeps my face warm, but I do definitely notice a little more briskness in the air when it's gone haha. But once you get used to it not being there (only takes like a day), you don't really feel like your face is so much warmer when it does grow back. But that's just my experience. I'm sure it differs among dudes.

I wonder too. I don't have a deep voice but I know of some people who do have one. They say they find it difficult to be heard in a crowd.

I have experimented with stubble before. They tend to get itchy if you sweat a lot. I suppose you have to wash and condition your beard, just like you would with your scalp hair. :p

-----------------------

Here's my question for the ladies. I was taught this rhyme in kindergarten and I wish to know if it is true.

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,
That's what little girls are made of.

Is this true, ladies? Or was my childhood a lie? :p

I'm at a loss. Maybe because guys are generally worse dancers and the ladies want their feet stepped on as part of the courtship ritual?

Shoot I must be part of the 10%... I never could wait to get home and get my shoes off. Just something not natural about the way they make shoes with a thicker heel than toe, forcing a heel-toe stride. Bleh. I feel like dancing barefoot but with normal shoes I feel like doing nothing but sitting down and getting them off my feet.

Then I found out about zero-drop shoes in general and toe shoes in particular. Ever dance across a gravel driveway? :D
