Why do men sweat at night?

maybe it's heat generated by the thought of us sexy women? or not, of course

I do hope you're not suggesting Andrea that all your ex's were sweaty!

Er...well, that's exactly what I WAS suggesting Missus (see above)...

In that case you shouldn't have worked 'em so hard!

Aww, c'mon, Missus, they enjoyed it...even if they WERE a bit smelly at the end of it...

Can't cope with toilet flavoured smells!

You probably dont realise this, but you sweat too. The only difference is you sweat perfume and sugar of course :) We men, we smell, it confuses the herds so we can hunt them better.

Sorry! I thought it said Who do men swear at night? I was gonna say 'cos they're pissed. Except Mykle who swears 'cos he's not pissed ;-)

We're having nightmares about all the money you cost us. We supress it in the daytime, but our defences slip when we fall asleep :(

Hmmm What money?

Exactly! We pay petrol or bus fare to get to work, work all day (paying for lunch in the middle) for a slave-wage, pay to get home again... 90% of what little we earn goes on food, rent/mortgage and heating, and the other 10% goes on necklaces and excercise machines and shoes and Tv Quick magazine for you lot. We stagger down to the bank in holey socks and leaky shoes, praying that the bank manager is in a good mood. We get there and find he isn't. He's bald and he's fat and he's just hit 50. He's face to face every morning with a menopausal wife and he's realising that he's never going to get that fishing boat off Cornwall. He is decidely pissed off. He looks at our bank statements and laughs nastily before adding another 20% in service charges. So we stagger home again in the rain to be confronted by you asking for money to go to bingo, and we look up at the weeping sky and yell "WHAT MONEY?!"

My dear Tan63, I'm sorry to destroy your illusion of a perspiration free body but the simple truth is everybody perspires including you and your sisters. If you didn't you would die. Some do perspire and smell more than others though.

I don't cost 'em any money - and they still sweat...

for the same reason women sweat at night i should think ...

Can't speak for anyone else (or myself) but I'm thinking of The Nam... those endless jungles... (see Lies, Damned Lies thread... actually, don't bother)

Only working class people sweat! The rest perspire!

I do hope you're not suggesting, Missus, that ALL me ex's were working class!
