I asked a question & it was too sexist so I deleted it

Ummm, who's your friend been dating? I thought that was a required skill!

[Muddy4paws]

I never liked them before I met my boyfriend, Its a skill he has Its like an unwritten rule... Men give backrubs and sympathy whether they like it or not

guys don't like to give backrubs

No, they don't like to GIVE them, but ask a guy FOR a backrub and he's nekkid quicker than you can blink!!!

I was dating a guy and we were at his sister's house at a party. There was this girl there and she proceeded to announce that she's a massage therapist. Man, I had NEVER seen anything like it. All the guys in the room sat there with their shirts off waiting their turns. A pathetic bunch they were.

Needless to say, I'm no longer dating the idiot (yes, my date also waited his turn while I stewed, having no way home from the party).

I guess it depends on the guy..

If someone had started a thread stating "women don't (pick your subject)", they would be getting flamed for making a generalist sexist statement.

There are men who give backrubs, there are men who don't. I give Jen backrubs all the time, she does the same for me.

Your friend is way off base, tell her she should be careful not to make gender-biased statements like that. Plus, that way she's giving guys a pass to get away with it. I know guys (straight and gay) who like to give and receive backrubs, and those who do not, pretty evenly split.

My hubby often has to give me back rubs as i suffer from aching muscles all the time,so for him it is no big deal and i too will give him one if he needs it as well.
