Social Networking + Women's expectations of men
The other day I had a conversation with Luis about social networking. He knows quite a bit about this kind of stuff, and much more than I do. So he made up a list of questions for class. Here they are:
What social networking websites do you use?
What are some good and bad points about social networking?
Do you have a Facebook? Do you use Twitter? How about Mixi?
What information do you have on your page/blog?
What type of information are you comfortable releasing and showing online?
Does your family also use social networking sites?
If you don't use, what kind of information would/should you put on social networking sites?
Are you afraid to lose your privacy by using social networking sites?
Then I remembered that I have a Mixi site. Mixi is one of the big social networking systems in Japan. Actually, it is becoming less and less popular recently due to the bigger and badder sites like Facebook and Twitter. I also have a Facebook site, but like my Mixi site, I rarely use it. So I decided to open up my Mixi site for the first time in a while. Then, I found an interesting blog and I did a rough translation of it. The title was, "What do women expect men to be able to do?"
Here are 9 expectations which women have of us guys
Women expect me to be able to:
1. hook up a computer or TV,Cable TV!, blue ray recorder, etc.
2. be able to drive (and be a good river and have a nice car!
No walking or cycling on dates guys! Girls want to be driven around in style!)
3. kill cockroaches (No panicking or screaming or whining or running away!!!)
4. assemble furniture (like the kind you buy at IKEA) patiently and confidently, without getting irritated.
5. open lids on jars easily and on the first try (No wincing or sweating or grunting allowed!!! )
6. be able to read a map and not get lost (both when walking and driving in places we have never been before!)
7. give a girl a piggy back without any problems (even if you have a bad back like I do!!)
8. pull out the cork of a wine bottle with ease and grace
9. light the fire to a barbecue without any trouble (No heavy blowing or dark clouds of smoke!!)
Can you think of any other?
And, can any of you men tell me, what do you expect women to be able to do?
