[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How can women stay on their knees so long? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 2/7/2006 7:27:52 AM EDT

I work with a lot of women and I see them on their knees all the time. At someones desk or at my desk and no chair is available they are down on their knees, laptop computer on the desk typing away. I have seen them like that for over a half hour, working away while on their knees. I'm not talking kneeling down and sitting, I'm talking on knees with body and thighs upright for 30 minutes.

If I'm working on my truck or somthing I can stand to be in that postition for more than a minute or two.

Maybe you should ask them.

They have had good practice.

Yep.

Although I have noticed that chicks can curl up on a couch in ways that would cause my legs to go pins and needles, yet they never have that happen.

They have to be good at something

Aside from practice, they also weigh much less than most of us guys, so they don't have so much weight to support.

The only way to move up in the corporate world is to go down.

They enjoy it. And it's engrained in their DNA. It's what they are born to do.

Who doesn't have a chair for half an hour? What kind of workplace are you in?

Software company. Oh they could go get a chair. But they don't. They decide that getting on their knees is easyier than then 30-40 foot walk to push a rolling chair.

Women are more flexible and don't have to shift around to make space for a set of balls and a wang.

Coondog, are you saying your wife has a set of balls and a wang???

Inquiring minds want to know

They know that sooner or later there is a dinner out/new car/diamond ring/Coach purse/reward of some type at the end of the day, so the more things they do on their knees the more acclamated they get to being there. Conditioning you might say.

you oversexed twits!

their center of gravity is lower than most males, being located at apporximately right above the hip bones, so their rotational inertia is much less than males, whose cg is well above the navel, and require much more muscle tension to maintain a stable position.

Ask a guy to stand with his heels and butt against a wall and bend over at the waist to touch his toes without bending his knees. He can't do it without falling over. A woman can.

my answer: evolution at its finest.

ETA: by the way, i AM kidding. just thought i'd try come in from a different angle than sexual acts.

my knees dont hurt first, if i'm sitting on my knees the tendons in my ankle get stretched and really start to hurt. probably from 16 years of soccer.

If we had a clue "we" would be females. And that would take all the fun out of it.

They have a higher tollerance to pain, that being said in many people pain = pleasure,but in some people pleasure can block pain. In other words they don't feel it for the pleasure. I know we don't

Lesson 101 on how to make your boyfriend blush:

I had a class with my (then) boyfriend. One day we had to write our answers from some previous assignment on the board, and by the time I got up to write, there was very little room left except the space at the very bottom of the whitebaord. I got on my knees and wrote out my answers, then returned to my seat.

Friend next to me: Nice job, Gabby.
Me: (jokingly) Hey, I do my best work on my knees.

I've never seen his ears turn so red.
