Title: What does no man want?
Post by maryl on Sep 21^st, 2003, 9:42am

What does no man want, yet no man wants to lose?

:[hide]A job, or
A sore leg.[/hide]

That's new to me, SWF, that no man wants [hide]a job[/hide].

How about [hide]a mother-in-law: losing her can cause a lot of troubles, especially if you're somehow connected with her getting lost...[/hide] ;)

Is it [hide] an argument ? [/hide]

Ha, that's good, it would definitely work.

Wowbagger-nice solution-if you don't happen to be one.

SWF had mine covered.

Like your answer Grace, but I think all men want love, just not the hassles that can go with it.

I can't think of anything that fits perfectly, but I have a couple creative answers.

1. [hide]Children. Usually babies are viewed as as a hazard of sex. But once they're born, we are fiercely protective of them.[/hide]
2. [hide]Homelessness. Nobody wants to be poor and homeless, but so far I have yet to meet a bum who isn't happy and who actually wants a better life.[/hide]

You may not want children, but most parents become so on purpose, so no - children do not work for something no man wants.

:-*
Children! In almost 80% of the world what you said counts for blasphemy!
How about Prejudice?! Man or woman; we do not want another's prejudice (against us) but we do not want to give up ours! Most of our problems are based on this aspect!
Racism, Bigotry, Religious intolerance, etc.

I wasn't too enthusiastic until I became a father -- I love my son :)

I like Pericles' answer, I think it fits best.

A bald head! No man wants to have a bald head yet no man wants to lose his head.

If a man grew hair he would lose his bald head, in a way.

Maybe, but if a bona fide bald man grew hair he would make a fortune ...

I heard a good answer for this one. A law suit. Nobody wants to have one, but if you do have one, then you surely do not want to lose it. :P
