i don't understand womenFollow

It's the best way to get sex with a lady. Actually, no. You have to pretend to care about what she wants while actually only caring about the sex. It's that kind of individually tailored empathy that gets into people's pants.

It's quite depressing how often I see it working, really. I'd like to believe that people can tell when their partner is really just a horny *******, but my ideals are just being slowly overwhelmed by all this goddamn empirical evidence.

Could you explain further?

Zepoodle's post sounds like someone who has been left for another man, and can't quite seem to come to grips with it.

Women getting ideas above their station?! Have no fear, son, that's why god invented spousal abuse.

I find myself agreeing with Mental, and that frightens me.

From what I have seen, women like guys who are confident in themselves. When they are young or inexperienced, they might think that being a jackass is the same thing as self-confidence... but most tend to lose that delusion after a while and realize they can be quite separate. If you want to get laid, sure, you can be kind of a jerk if it appears you are self-confident. If you want a relationship, a smart (or mature) female will realize you care about her needs; more than that, YOU'LL figure out her needs and try to meet them. A guy can do it in an assertive and confident way, for sure.

That said, I agree with seeing all too often "smart" girls go for "bad guys." That's a sign of immaturity, not idiocy... though the results are startlingly similar. I've also seen the opposite: "smart" guys get with "bad girls." Bad in this case could mean anything from promiscuous to unattractive to desperate.

People do foolish stuff when they're young. The trick is to realize ASAP that they're acting like fools and learn from it.

I could take my own advice at times, haha!

Yeah, right behind you and all that Pensive, but I've already made fun of people overgeneralising women once in this thread, and if I didn't put a limit on how many times I snark people for the same thing then I'd never stop snarking.

Don't worry, Belkira, if you ever get tired of your husband - if he's not self-confident and manly enough - you can always come and live with me. I know we haven't talked much, but I know all about what women want and, by extension, what you like, so we'll get on great.

Just be sure not to test the line too much, 'kay?

I just want a man that will wait on me hand and foot and let me treat him like ****. Is that so much to ask??

Well see, it's not that I was just oblivious to taking it for granted that you were -just- generalizing. I make myself not take it for granted, because generalizing like that, proximately innocuous or not, with a disclaimer or not, is precisely what leads to misconceptions between sex relations. Eventually even, too much generalizing will cloud your view of sexes and make those generalizations true, whether they were true before or not, because your behavior will adjust itself to account for the stereotype. Vicious* cycle and all that.

I'd like to say that I'm just guarding myself from making sexist comments about what women do, but that's not the main reason I take issue with these statements. Those sorts of things irk me because they are also pretty damn sexist against men.

Depends...are you hot?

Also, please bear in mind that "hot" is a relative term. As long as you don't scare dark out of a closet, make freight trains take dirt roads or are so hideous that lightning wouldn't strike your face, you're probably "hot" to most guys.

Whenever I bleed it's more sticky than anything. Is it different for the blood that rains from that ******?



I like hugging, and licking people's hands.

Ah.

Well, it was worth a shot anyway.
