Fear and hatred -- for anything -- is often based on something as simple as not knowing and not understanding anything about that which is being hated and feared.
As usual, Lex, I tend to agree with you.
I've noticed a lot of people here who lash out at the other gender simply because they have no conception of the fact that the other gender consists almost entirely of genuine human beings. It's become practically a cottage industry to perpetuate questions such as "Why Do All Men _____?" and "Why Are All Women _______?" -- to the detriment of those who realize that the differences aren't nearly as gargantuan as some would like us to believe. And, yeah, it's definitely a red flag to anyone who is looking for a partner, and not a psychological disorder waiting to happen. I think a person's writing can be pretty darn revealing, if you're paying attention....!! |

I wouldn't meet someone at a motel for an intimate encounter. That's the first problem here.

If he accepts my dogs, cats, goats, and my pondful of fish, then I will let him have a pet.

I pose this question. Why are some people so frightened of gays?? It's not contagious! And we do not come on to everything that walks. That's like say a straight woman will come on to every man she sees. Just not true. |

Doesnt Play "Games"? Really?

I'll get crap for this but...
I think what most girls are saying is that they want to know where they stand all the time so that they don't get hurt at all, or hurt the least. No one likes being strung along, ignored, pushed to the side, treated as a backup plan or worse. Rarely do the girls realize that they arn't allowed to play games either. Usually means the guy gets hurt, and the girl doesn't, because telling him where she is at, might change things and end up hurting her. Oh puleeze Let me elaborate. Judy and John are dating. John likes another girl. Judy wants john to tell her those things, instead of stringing her along. Judy finds out, the typical female response is yelling 'fine then go be with her' or 'dont talk to her any more'. If john says he needs time, then 9/10 times it ends in a break up. Judy likes another guy. John wants judy to tell him about these things, so he isnt strung along. John finds out. Johns response is usually 'who's it going to be'. Judy's response is 'i dont know, im so confused. i need time to figure this out. The thing here is john is expected to make his choice right then and there. Judy has a chance to figure it out, prepare her heart, and emotions, then when everything is set, she can tell john. Another example would be flirting. Most women consider a guy saying there cute is acceptable and no big deal. The guy shouldn't get mad over it. If the girl catches another girl calling her guy cute, she flips out. It's called a double standard. Guy's have them in differnt area's, like burping and farting. There are exceptions to both rules, just not a ton of them. |

I don't quite see it this way. There are people of each gender who have been hurt or there have been misunderstandings and stereotypes and bad experiences that are attributed to gender instead of individuals. I do find that in MY dealings with men, there are so many who still stereotype women or think I should be as described in certain relationship books. Makes it harder to get to know someone as an individual. Dang, if I did that I could never date again. Some bad things have happened in the past..but I realize that it was the individuals, not the gender, that had the problem. |

Just don't like women. I never noticed until I joined this site. If they don't feel like being "nice" - they blame it on women. If they don't feel like being chivalrous - they say that women killed chivalry. The are insecure- so they complain about independent women. Some of the things I see guys writing about women just implies, to me, a deep-seated dislike of the entire gender. So to you guys who are writing that stuff, know that women are noticing. I can't speak for other women, but I would never date a guy who does not like women. in defense of my fellow brethren called MAN Woman steps in dog shlt she blames a man Man scratches his nuts women thinks it's disgusting Women get that unsightly itch accompanied by odor it's normal. Man get's an unsightly itch accompanied my odor he's a whore. Man raises the lid to piss and leaves it raised a woman raises hell but do we say anything when we have to raise the lid to Piss? Noooooooo we politely raise the lid and I might add it weighs less that a bag of make up! Don't get me started ! |
