Dealing with the Opposite Sex, Friday, Period 2, Class #2
This morning, Vala was clutching a cup of coffee like it was a lifeline. More coffee and an assortment of danishes were also set out. Students would probably notice the stitched scar on her face, as well as the one on her arm. Both were dinosaur-inflicted, but she wasn't overly bothered by them.
"Good morning," she yawned and gave a listless wave, "Today we'll be discussing the opposite sex. Which, since this is the title of the class, you can't say is a big surprise."
"Before we can develop a plan of attack and help you get over the stark terror of stepping into the dating pool, I'd like you to make a list of what scares you, confuses you, or annoys you about the opposite sex. Then I would like you to pair up--with someone of the opposite sex--and trade lists. Hopefully a lively discussion will ensue. Try to help them understand the differences, if you can."
Another yawn. "Please hand in all lists at the end of the discussion to either myself or Jack, so that we can decide how to better structure the class for the rest of the summer."
[ooc: Posted extremely early because I will be AFK until Friday night, EDT. Obviously, there will be SP. And possibly Jack-pinging. Not dirty.I think]

Re: Make Your List
1. Using beauty products: Why do girls have so many? Why do some girls insist on using multiple products at the same time? Why do some girls insist on wearing fragrances when they smell just fine all on their own?
2. Going to the bathroom in pairs: Unless there's a rumor that something in the bathroom is eating people, I don't understand the need for this practice. What do women do in there together? Are guys allowed to know?
3. Insisting on being oh-so-strong: I'm totally fine with girls who could conceivably lay me out in a fight. But if I see those same girls carrying, say, multiple boxes of heavy stuff, and I offer to carry some of them, why do they assume I'm trying to be mean and misogynistic and not, you know, helpful?
4. Insisting on being not-so-strong: I will never understand girls who do nothing but talk about how strong and awesome and ass-kicking they are, and then, when they get the slightest injury from a ghost/demon/zombie/etc., spend the rest of their time whining about not getting rescued/saved/protected properly.
5. Refusing to make the first move: I know it's tradition for guys to make the first move, but some of
usthem are great big chickens who freeze up in the mere presence of a pretty girl, and if the girl doesn't make the first move, nothing will happen. Why don't more girls understand that?5a. Going to the bathroom in pairs: It's so confusing, I need to list it twice.
