Also, kudos to Yahoo for the strangest cover photos ever. The 100 for men guy looks like Derek Zoolander and the 100 for women lady looks like the Joker just murdered her. posted by XQUZYPHYR at 7:44 AM on October 31, 2005
MeFi has no boobies links, we should consider ourselves lucky to have made the list a all! posted by Pollomacho at 7:52 AM on October 31, 2005
Where's the "boyzone" tag? posted by dial-tone at 7:54 AM on October 31, 2005
From the men's list:
...if it made us laugh, cry, rub our whiskery chins in thoughtful contemplation, drool or point out stuff to the bloke sitting next to us ...
Whiskery chins? Drool? What is this, a Tim Allen joke?
So do they think that men and women are desperately unable to Google or Yahoo search for sites that cater to their special Internet needs? Which would be...what, exactly?
I would go through the women's list, but since the first page appeared to be mostly sex and shopping, why bother? If I wanted to hang out at iVillage all day, bemoaning my cellulite and leaving politics and current events to those big strong men, I would. eesh. posted by emjaybee at 7:54 AM on October 31, 2005
It's a world of perfect cocktails, cool kids and great shoes. It's a world of health, wealth and motherhood. And it's a world where we can laugh at the feeble-mindedness of our men, while checking out the attributes of a few younger, more finely tuned models.

The number one site is a t-shirt shop? That's the best site for men on the internet? The whole internet? posted by londonmark at 7:56 AM on October 31, 2005
Yes londonmark, THE WHOLE ENTIRE INTERNET. posted by j-urb at 7:58 AM on October 31, 2005
“This is a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nothing – NOTHING - without a woman...”
So the old song goes, and that seems to sum up the Internet pretty nicely. .
We seem to have projected the values of 1953 neatly on a 21st-century medium! And here I thought that times had changed and I was actually free to live and think outside of strict gender boundaries. Thank God for this list. I never knew I was so interested in handbags, babies, cats, and spas. I've got to get busy catching up! posted by Miko at 8:00 AM on October 31, 2005
Wow. I've been wasting all this time seeking knowledge on MeFi when I could have been improving my wardrobe. posted by londonmark at 8:02 AM on October 31, 2005
Mens List has such links as "Pictures of Trains" (no, thanks) "Send Her Poetry" (no...) "Battles of WWII" (does somebody not have History Channel?) and "Oscar Wilde Quotes" (I'll wait for that to come out on DVD). They forgot to add "List of Yarn Shops in North Dakota" posted by StarForce5 at 8:03 AM on October 31, 2005

Hey, thanks for the Yarn link StarFOrce5, I've been looking for some good Yarn stores in North Dakota for weeks! posted by blue_beetle at 8:12 AM on October 31, 2005
Men are like this, but women are like THIS. posted by basicchannel at 8:21 AM on October 31, 2005
100 sites for men that won't offend the missus vs 100 sites for women you're worth it.
We have to visit sites that please the women while they do what they want because they are worth it? Granted, they have a rating over there that says "boyfriend friendly", but still, I am more than a little sick of so-called "female empowerment".
And it's a world where we can laugh at the feeble-mindedness of our men, while checking out the attributes of a few younger, more finely tuned models.
I've never even heard of non-citizen. Weak. posted by delmoi at 9:00 AM on October 31, 2005
these sites have gotta be the lamest things i've seen in a long time... at least we can rest assured they're geared towards the british market, which is apparently substantially, substantially more stupid than the Americans are.
and now back to cheatzone (but don't tell my girlfriend!!!!!!!!!) posted by yonation at 9:44 AM on October 31, 2005
Gee JonasParker, do you not get that most of the women here think the portrayal of men is insulting also? It's not empowerment types that want to see men as nose-picking Neanderthals, it is, strangely enough, anti-empowerment types. Don't blame feminism just because people put a "you go girl!" label on retro bullshit. posted by emjaybee at 9:50 AM on October 31, 2005

Are those my only options? Murakami put it very well (in "Dance Dance Dance"?). It's a lot like shoveling snow.
That paragraph is 100% better than a lot of crap that I have to edit everyday.
These 100 sites kinda suck. I'm not sure whether to hold that against Yahoo or the Brits. I'll blame Yahoo. For now.
I mean really! There are lots of fantastic football sites out there. posted by mrgrimm at 10:12 AM on October 31, 2005
When did Yahoo! turn into Ask Men or Cosmo for that matter? All of my Top Sites have panties in the title, except for Metafilter at #42. posted by my sock puppet account at 3:23 PM on October 31, 2005

Yahoo should give its advertising people a raise. And toss a few bucks to MeFi for helping sell the brand. posted by Ayn Marx at 6:17 PM on October 31, 2005
