One is the lonelist number......

...as in gender earth occupation. What would the world be like if there were only women? Only men? Other than sex,what does men and women offer each other? What word would describe a world with one gender?

 

[Texas101]

What if there were three sexes instead of two?

 

[James Is Back]

What if there were three sexes instead of two?

Well that would mean more wars,more dirty laundry,more nagging and lots more Starbucks

 

[iambren]

It would give new meaning to the word "threesome"!

 

[mjmcmillan]

Only one gender? Given the way the Creator designed us, it would mean extinction of the human race. Effective for all practical purposes immediately, and certainly when the last person dies.

 

[dayhiker]

Probably the world would look like my apartment ...

 

[iambren]

Of course we would face extinction but for that last generation what would the world FEEL like. What would seem so painfully missing for you(sex aside,romance aside)?

I tried to resist but I just couldn't considering it's one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs! Now on to your questions...

Well I think the prison population both male and female is kind of a microcosm of what you're asking. Having visited a female prison in college, it was very tame. The women found ways to make "family" without what looked like apparent threat and coercion. I didn't go to the male prison but if you've seen The Shawshank Redemption and think about the abuse Andy went through, I've heard that's not far from the truth at all.

To me without sex men still offer protection, comfort, understanding of their view of the world, sometimes specialized knowledge depending on their hobbies/education/work, physical strength, their way of being, their essence, integrity and stuff like that. They can still teach the younger generations what is expected of them in Christ if they are Believers. It's hard to explain but I also think there's a way that men move through the world that I haven't always seen with women. Although I do think it matters whether you're a white man or a man or color, what class you might come from, and where you're at in the world...maybe...maybe not.

Personally I would miss their presence and their energy. For me there's a certain energy that men have that women don't especially when they are walking with the Lord. There's nothing like it.

That's my 2 cents!

I always liked that song too. For me off the top of my head the feeling I have is one of profound sadness,as if the world suddenly turned to gray. It grieves me when the sexes are always at war,trying to get their hand up on the other. I don't think we have the proper respect that the other provides for us.

There's a soft,warmth I get from females;just their state of being. The world would have a cold,sharp edge to it that women humanize.

 

[quietpraiyze]

I hear you. I don't like the war of the sexes stuff either. It is grievous. It's like no matter the cost “I win”. Do you really? ​

 

[James Is Back]

Both sexes should get along with each other. None of this sexism and feminism stuff!

A One gender world ??? I would describe it as not conducive to Gods wonderful plan. God created the genders for maximized pleasure, companionship, better understanding of self and others, and of course for pro-creation and mutually enjoyable sexual unions that are moral.

As far as 'one being the lonliest number' : its not necessarily true all the time. Being in a bad marriage is about as lonely as it gets due to the feeling of despair and feeling trapped. Single Christian living is far far better than being in a bad marriage. Further, for the most part...it is up to US to take initiative in making our single lives enjoyable, meaningful, fulfilling, interesting, etc....and too often Singles become lazy and unmotivated when it comes to change . Paul inferred Christian Single living to be a blessing and high calling....and every Christian SIngle can make it THAT way if they are so inclind to get beyond Narcissism / expecting hedonism pursuits to make them ultimately happy / relying on money, possesions, Others to make them ultimately happy . The key to doing this life whether single or married, is to do exactly as my signature below indicates ... then from THAT umbrella will come rivers of enjoyable life experiences regardless of ones present status.

One is the loneliest number didn't that come from a Harry Nilsson song?

Without men, women would be a lot nicer to themselves. Without women, most men would be bored and lonely. Other then sex, men offer protection, leadership, and direction. Women offer comfort, companionship, and support.

I'd tell you if there were only men,there would be super bowl parties and poker game nights galore.

If there were only women,shopping malls would be packed.

I like what you wrote--"It's hard to explain but I also think there's a way that men move through the world that I haven't always seen with women. "

It keeps popping into my mind as I travel and I muse over what you meant. I can tell you are not a man hater. Thanks for the writing.

Thank you

Not my impression of women right now. I have just started working in a female dominant profession and I think women can be downright mean to each other for no reason than they can. They offer comfort, companionship, and support to strangers and backstab each other.
