For Glamour magazine, I need to find some quotes from men and women, age 20-35, about the dumb, clueless things that men think about women's bodies. From the women, I'm looking for quotes describing the dumbest, clueless thing you've heard a man say about a woman's body. Here are some examples of quotes I'm seeking from women:

?One of my guy friends said that he looks for women with big thighs because the bigger the thighs, the better the sex.??Natalie, 18, TKcity

?I dated someone who asked me if I thought it was a little sexually arousing when I went to the gynecologist. ?Doesn?t it feel good, like sex?? NO! It?s cold metal. No. Not very arousing at all. ??Melissa, 30, Alexandria, Virginia

From men, I'm looking for quotes describing something you think, or once thought, about a woman's body that is probably far from the truth, and I need quotes to fit each of these 4 categories:

1. What are/were your (clueless) thoughts about trying to conceive a baby, or trying not to?

Ex: ?Some women used to tell me that one method women used was called the Coke bottle method. Post coitally, you take a Coke bottle, shake it up, and try to blast the sperm out of the vagina.??Jeff, 33, Chicago

?I later learned that you can, in fact, get a girl preg-o by having sex in the hot tub.??Robert, 26, Washington, D.C.

2. What are/were your (clueless) thoughts on pregnancy and giving birth?

Ex: ?Well, when the contractions start, the uterus muscle walls begin to get ready to expel the child. Then you get the misery. The screaming, the crying, the shot in the spine I guess. Umm?then the cervix dilates. Not sure how much. Eight or ten inches???Michael, 29, Boca Raton, Fl.

3. What are/were your (clueless) thoughts about the G-spot?

Ex: ?G-Spot? Isn?t it, like, up on the abdomen wall somewhere? Like near the skin? Is it real???Chris, 30, Dallas

?The G-Spot is a spot that does not even have to be sexual. It makes a woman have a feeling of some type of climax, a mini orgasm. You touch a girl in a certain way; you touch her hand or back or even shake their hand, give them a hug. Everyone is different. You touch their feet, touch their head, kiss them, all those can be G-spots.??Tony, 27, Nashville, Tenn.

4. What is/was your (clueless) take on PMS, hormones and the menstrual cycle?

Ex: ?It feels good when you put in a tampon, right? Like sex???Nick, 31, Detroit

?Cramps? Isn?t that when the egg begins to release? They feel like a stomach ache, I guess. Like food poisoning.??Louis, 24, Miami

If you can submit a quote, I just need your first name, age, town, and, for fact-checking only, phone number and email address. I need them by Monday at 1pm central time. Email your response to natashachilingerian@gmail.com

So you want women say how clueless men are, and men to know that what they're about to tell you is clueless?

When I chastised my then-boyfriend and current future ex-husband for squeezing the puppies a tad too hard he was puzzled as to why it should hurt considering there was nothing inside them. He genuinely believed breasts are empty. And he has two University degrees.

When I was in elementary school (and maybe even up to middle school), I thought the vagina was an opening in the front (like where the pubic bone, mons pubis is).

My husband actually believed that urine came out of a woman's vagina until I set him straight. He also swore that "pulling out" was a good method of birth control. And when we had sex when I was pregnant, I think he seriously worried about his penis touching the baby.

Keep in mind this is a man with an Ivy league degree whose IQ test is in the genius range. I'll see if I can convince him to fess up.

(If I do, will you put in a good word for me with the editors at Glamour? :)

I knew a boy in high school who SWORE that his penis was made of cartilage...which is why it got stiff.

A guy once told me that girls were weird/gross because "they bleed out of their coochies." He was 25 years old.

From a girl who has a Turkish husband (whom she adores, and who adores her, and who clearly meant the following comment as the highest flattery):

"It's like I have three wives! You, and your two thighs!"

A male friend of mine once asked me what the big deal was about periods. He asked "can't you just hold it in?"

Oh God, that one about periods takes me back. One boyfriend asked me if I could just stop for the night so we could have sex.

Let me get this straight. You got an assignment from Glamour that would let you include such idiotic quotes? You don't have to be a feminist to be insulted by them. For this we work our tails off and support ourselves at crappy yet demanding jobs years longer than we'd like to?

"I wonder what the other 68 positions are."
Dumbest thing a woman ever said to me, after having sneaked into a men's room for a look and seeing the urinals -"how do you guys sit in those things out in the open?"

So Glamour magazine is trying to compete with Cosmo and Playgirl?

I agree with Metro Writer. How could straight women
possibly benefit from reading these dumb comments?
What purpose does it serve? I read them and think,
thank the goddess, I'm gay.
