Why men are like Bunny's

I was having a discussion with a good friend and we were discussing men. (big shock) Well after DW stated…er ‘this friend’ stated that men are pigs, I thought about it and had to disagree. Men are not like pigs, pigs are happy rooting with each other in communal bliss, which just doesn’t sound like men to me. I had to rebut that they were instead like rabbits and there seemed to be some small bit of semi-truth to this broad and gross generalization.


- Once they hit puberty all appliances and nearby beings are no longer safe from a hair-flying bout of bunny love. There is a reason for the phrase ‘multiply like rabbits’. I base my opinion on human male teenagers mirroring this behavior purely from the movie ‘American Pie’ and stand by this statement. :D

- Though they look meek and nice, rabbits are extremely territorial and will fight any male rabbit that tries to mess with ‘their’ food and ‘their’ stuff. If a normal man is at a bar with his date, how do you think he will react to another man coming over, grabbing ‘his’ beer and trying to fondle ‘his’ date. I think the paws and fur…er ‘fists’ will soon be flying.

- Rabbits are deceptively cute and cuddly when you buy them. Then, after they’ve gotten used to you and the new has warn off, you realize that they prefer to be left alone, not to be stifled. How many men have complained of ‘needing their space’ and ‘clingy’ girlfriends, seemingly not realizing that they are MADE for cuddling. ;)

- When you first buy rabbits they are very neat and clean. Like men, given time, a rabbit’s true nature comes through. Whether it’s in the form of bunny pebbles all over the living room floor or a room filled with unused and dusty electronical equipment that he ‘needs’, it’s the same thing. :D

- Rabbits mark their most beloved possessions by chinning and spraying. This tells other rabbits ‘this leather shoe on the floor is MINE, paws off’. Men mark their most beloved girlfriend by making her wear a ring. This tells other men ‘this woman is MINE, hands off’.

Edits:

As per DragonWench, agreed to by Georgi:
- Most rabbits are kept in cages. This prevents them from 'marking' the main house, keeps them near the litter box, and keeps them from wandering around getting into who knows what. Men, though not kept in cages now, perhaps should be. Women could give them treats if they proove to be especially well trained, and take them out to play with whenever they want.

As per Odetoagrasshopper:
- From personal stores that I've shared about my own bunny, we know that my rabbit when released from the cage heads straight for my sisters bed and hides amongst the blankets. Ode seems to think that this may be something a man might do. :) Though I haven't seen my SO doing this, he's not in a cage for me to monitor and anything could be happening! :D I'll keep my eyes open.

I refute this charge as being based on Hollywood Glamor. :D

I find the study on Male "Cuddling" to be an unfair study. :D

Alright I admit this part. :D

My secondary source is from something I call 'making stuff up' :D


DW: Cages? Why didn't I think of that! It's perfect!

If anyone else posted this statement, I'd expect C Elegans to rip into them for faulty methodology, but I have a feeling she's in your corner on this thread.

yep...that way we can take them out to play once in a while and the rest of time wave tasty morsels of food outside their cages without actually placing them inside :D :p

I'm just teasing :) I hope everyone knows this is just a silly thread :) *hug*

Weasel : ROFL!!! Holleywood glamour or not, there's some truth :) :)

Have you tried the ring test yet? :eek:

I'll hug my way out of that one :D


DW: Ummm..you'll leave treats OUTSIDE the cage...not inside? :)

Quite proving my point :) Weasel tried to say my research was faulty, as in there's something wrong with saying 'men are made for cuddling'.

But, really, why else were they made? :D

Nope, I am not. "Making things up" is not a controlled, scientific method that allows for independant replication, and I have not seen results similar to Viv's anywere in the peer-reviewed scientific journals. Thus, I must discard the results. :D Sorry Viv, personal sympathies can't change scientific demands :D ;)

A highly subjective reason for discarding the result is that I dislike rabbits and wouldn't want one in my house, whereas men....especially some... :D

I agree, it's horrible, it sounds infantile and totally un-sexy - not something I'd like to do with a man nor would want him to do with me :D .

It may sound bad, but it feels good :) I like pressing myself against a man in a long hug. *shrugs* :)


DW: Well, he has food right, it's just the treats you deny? :)

lol! Viv, Are you sure SYM's male population can handle comments like that :D !

That depends on how well behaved he has been :D

Well, just trying to show what I meant by cuddle. :) I can't help it if CE doesn't like Bunny's and therefore refutted my theory.

All that research and planning. :( :(

Nice try, @Viv, but I won't take the bait. ;) :D Image

No worries,
