Ikr
I wish period blood made better lube.
Um ouch?
. _.
I feel funny.
Why?
Both dream and female-related: I've started dreaming about sperm banks when I ovulate. -_- In waking life, I don't care very much about sex and also don't want to be a parent. Apparently the first point has sunk into my subconscious, but my ovaries still want to negotiate on the second one. :shock:
Wish women were up front about things and said what they meant, it does a better job of getting you what you want, at least if you're dealing with men. Sorry, I didn't realize the dishes were left out specifically because you wanted me to do them, if you wanted me to do them all you had to do was ask. :panic:
Women are atomically designed to be repeled by me
There are tons of things about the female anatomy that bother the crap out of me. But I don't think they would bother me as much if I was dating one. I know that barely makes sense, it's just stuff I think about a lot. For example, I wouldn't want to have periods, but I wouldn't care if my girlfriend did.
lol, Snoop. Do you have eyeballs? Did you see the dishes were out? If so, put them away :P
:hug: ColdCrisis. I'm sure that's not true.
Mr. Monthly is currently paying me a visit. But it's all good. I've been taking my Celexa as I should be so no cramps or anything.
I do wish I was on it for the full 5-7 days instead of this start/stopping crap.
That's understandable Ophelia and Zhaylin. So do I Snoop, I'm a female and I really wish others would be more up front and just ask if they want something.
Can I complain about stereotyping like this?
I get upset when men say women do a certain thing, with an implied 'all' which is usually ignored. I swear I encounter a case of this at least a couple times a week, and I seem to be the only one who cares. If the person making the claim is pressured, they'll usually admit that there might be some exceptions. But I get the feeling they don't really take the exceptions seriously. In their minds, they actually believe that all women do it. The fact that not all women do what you're saying might be a little negligible fact to you, but I am actually in the group that you're accusing of having this extremely negative trait, so it's important to me that you don't have this false idea of me and other women who might not have it.
I'm extremely up-front about things like that, unless I've already said it so many times that I'm sure the person already knows that whatever it is bothers me.
This is one of my personal triggers, people making gender-based claims which apply to me. I just wish that people would judge people for negative traits individually, and not blame their entire gender. I'm sure there are some patterns, and maybe more women do that than don't, but at the very least, say "I don't like when women ..." or "I don't like women who ...." rather than "[I] Wish women were ...."
I've never brought this up without being told to chill the fuck out or something equivalent. Can this be the first?
To be fair, and in Dianeva's defense, dudes aren't always upfront either. I didn't mention it before in this thread because I assumed it was a "well duh!"
The dishes thing was probably just supposed to be funny like the phone in the purse thing. That said, not being upfront about things is a human trait, not a gender specific one.
I don't like engorged breasts. Lactation shouldn't be yet another obstacle for the female body. They just popped a watermelon out ffs.
I like all things female... except for the fact that I'm trapped in a female body. :paranoid: But women are simply the best.
About the period thing, Ophelia, I'm with you. I'm taking a pill, so I haven't had mine in over a year, but I've never cared at all if a girl I was with was having hers. I mean, it happens, it's normal, life goes on, I don't stop during the day to think about it, you know?
About women not speaking up their minds, it's totally a personality thing, not a gender thing... obviously. I like it when people tell me exactly what they're thinking, but I'm not open at all, so I don't have the right to judge. I still judge, but I don't have the right. Life is complicated that way.
I was going to say something about the engorged breasts comment, but now all I can think of is boobs. Boobs. I love boobs. Boobs.
I understand it was a sensitive example to pick but in this case I was talking about something that actually happened to me today. I can see how it could easily be taken otherwise, but it's important to know that I didn't mean it as a joke to put down women. I apologize for the misunderstanding, it should have occurred to me. There are plenty of other examples of women expecting men to be mind readers or to pick up on things that other women do, which is fine on its own but I just don't think or operate this way, I am very straightforward and need things spelled out for me if there is an expectation to meet, which is a quality I see more in men than in women. With that knowledge, I wish the women who are guilty of this would realize or care that guys just don't do things based off of unspoken hints, clues, bread crumbs, body language, or tone of voice. We say what we mean and ask for what we want. I realize this must be frustrating to said women, but it can't be any more frustrating than the man you're giving clues to not noticing them and you thinking his is simply ignoring you. Spelling it out, even if it is annoying, is very helpful--at least to me. I am usually more than happy to do what it is that you want from me, but I am just too oblivious to hint systems to be able to do any of what you want. For both our sake's, please just ask. :P
edit: I reread your post and realized I misunderstood you, at first I thought you were upset that I had stereotyped doing the dishes as a woman's job. Anyway, I think it goes without saying (or it should) that what I said was a generalization, but I overwhelming have experienced this with most of the women I know more than an acquaintance. I'm very glad that you are not guilty of this because honestly it is the root of a lot of arguments and unhappy feelings and men and women both that are guilty of this aren't helping out by making it a habit. Really though, I appreciate it. I definitely could have avoided this problem by being more cautious with my wording and probably still can be, but I am saying now that I don't actually mean that all women are guilty of what I am saying and I did not mean to put off that front.
I know you are joking, and don't think I'm picking on you, but this is actually what happens to be what the women I'm talking about think. I understand it is a reasonable expectation, but I'm just a big dummy and don't pick up on things like that. If I am asked to do it, I don't have a problem doing it and then we're both happy. Yes, it's not very thoughtful but my head is in a different place. Actually, specifically I am terrible at seeing things that are right in front of me, even if I'm actively searching for something. Half the time it is literally staring me in the face and I don't see it.
I'm the same way dude.
They got people who like to surprise you with their ability to be ingenious and read between the lines. Then they got people who would like that clear direction. I'd prefer to be the former, but I'm actually the latter.
Spoiler for Dianeva's post:
I also hate stereotyping, generalizations, and sexism. Sexism goes both ways though, I hear sexist things about both men and women all the time. I also don't get why making fun of and bashing another gender is fine on TV, whenever someone on a talk show does this they're always applauded.
Um. ...sorry if I offended anyone.
You're just like me! :) I've had so many problems with my ex-roomie. She expected me to read her mind or something. If she'd simply tell me what she wants me to do, instead of sulking all day and making miserable faces, things would have been a lot easier. I suggested making a time-table to divide the chores so that I don't have to play this guessing game of who does the dishes on which days, and she rejected the idea. That kind of attitude annoys me a lot. :mad: I appreciate directness.
How comfortable is it to use «open clothes» in a cold day ? I think that's not an intelligent trade-off many people ( specially women ) do
Well now let's don't get carried away there.. I don't care if it's -40 out, I wanna see some thighs and cleavage!
Small rant about all things female:
The "classics" are by and large male writers, despite that during their time, female writers were the vast majority.
Furthermore, writers who are female tend to be categorized as "female writers" and not just "writers". Same way as an asian-american writer will be classified first and foremost as asian-american over their writing, regardless of if their writing is about being asian-american.
It's an annoyance of mine.
Ok am I the only one who noticed that the op wrote "female.a" in the thread title? Whuck is it...
I wrote it off as a typo :D
No worries, Snoop. I have this conversation with my (grown and still living at home) kids a lot. I tell them it's about observation and consideration. If you're going from point A to point B in the house without any particular goal or task at hand, just stop and look. Ask yourself if anything needs done.
With kids especially, the default is always "Well, it's not my turn". I don't care whose turn it is. If you helped contribute to it and you're not doing anything else, take care of it. Or bring it to the other persons attention so they can do it.
Timetables/chore charts are excellent. I think your roomie just liked having something to bitch about, Anju.
idk how this is going to come off to the women here, but I think the female objectification thing is kind of overblown.
everyone is objectified to a certain extent. I think when a woman aspires to be what the modeling industry wants them to be, and not what men actually find attractive, they end up morbidly skinny or whatever it is they're going for. and when the realistic people of society point out how unhealthy it is they blame it on degradation from men lowering their self-esteem. which is not fair to the respectable males who are now handicapped by this notion all we want is sex.
the thing is, most people don't even go to those extremes anyway. women LOVE Abercrombie and Calvin Klein models and shit, but I know I don't have to have flawless hair and irresistible chiseled features or even an enormous unit you can see through my underwear, in order to have chemistry and mutually beneficial interest with a healthy woman.
everyone gets to make their own choice. if you want the power so much take it, I don't think we are deliberately holding it out of your reach. I guess in short I just don't agree that extreme feminists should be going around blaming all their problems on us because its counter productive to what you want to accomplish. anyway that's my two cents on female objectification hope I didn't offend anyone haha
I thought this forum needed a thread to complain about women, awesome.
I've noticed that all women generalize too much and that's pretty frustrating. I also kinda think they're too indecisive, or maybe not. I don't know.
hahahaha, this post could not be more perfect.
But if I'm being honest to my experiences, some generalisations are true.
I think women in general are less emotionally attached than men.
There was a great post on reddit recently explaining why men continue chasing women or trying to date, despite every possible obstacle in their way.
And no, it's not because of insane sex drive. That's total bullshit.
It is because men do not have emotional outlets like women do. Women can confide in their friends to their hearts content, male or female.
Men cannot do that with their male friends, and rarely with female friends (if they try with lady friends they are instantly considered pussies).
So if a man find a girl he can open up to, he does not want to lose that. He becomes reliant on her, because everyone needs to rant sometimes and let out their emotions (see: RRC&C thread, probably the most popular of all time on DV).
Women on the other hand, have a tonne of girl friends they can open up to any time, and if they're attractive, male friends will happily cater to their emotional needs. So if they lose a guy they like romantically, they move on far more quickly.
Whereas men feel good at first, but soon feel like shit since they can't open up to anyone anymore, and that's mentally unhealthy.
This isn't the exact image I formed this theory from, but it's the same general idea
http://i.imgur.com/Y2lzj2H.jpg
This is the only gender stereotype I've found almost universally true (obviously some people do not fit in to the stereotype).
Those people who don't fit in to that generalisation seem to be far better, more mature, and honest people.
Man or woman is irrelevant.
I don't judge anyone on sex or race or religion or whatever, it's just not how my brain works. So I feel fairly objective in my opinion on this, although obviously there is some bias, as always.
So you guys know me for being Mr. Single and sexually deprived right? Well, about a month ago I let this girl who I had sex with the very first time of us meeting. We've continued to have sex around once or twice a week. But I mean that's it. We drink, she smokes, and then sex and goodbye. Sometimes we'll even skip the entire day and text each other at anywhere between 1 and 3 askif for sex.
I know most guys would kill for something like this, but it sucks. She listens to stupid radio rap, has a history of doing heavy street drugs, has two kids, and has no interest in going to college. When I say say history I mean a few weeks ago she got coked up and beat some big black chick down. Great story on paper, but there's no way I can really be with someone like that.
I want to end it, but I know I'll turn around and say "damnit I miss getting sex". So I'm just there for the ride until one of us finds someone they actually need to be with.
askif?
Anyway, should be ok to have nothing in common with someone if it's just for the sex though right? Unless you're worried about her showing up at your place all coked up and beating the shit out of you. Though that could incorporate into role play..
I was going to say what you basically said at the end. You're getting good (I assume) sex. Just keep doing it until it becomes detrimental or you meet someone you actually like.
Damn, man.... we should all be so unlucky :P
But what is askif???? Or was that like a frustrated asdfasdfasdf lol
I think he meant asking.
I'm guessing you don't live near a college? There are a few inches of snow on the ground, yet I still see high heels out on Thursdays/Fridays when driving to work at night.
I suppose I was the woman in my last breakup, heh. I won't lie. I was upset and cried. But I didn't try to suppress it. I looked at as: this situation sucks, but it's OK and normal that I feel sad; it will pass. And it did.
I also love the initial purse post. Though, that applies more to my mom than to my ex-girlfriend...
I think the one thing that consistently bothers me about women is just a subset of them. They hit menopause, kids are out of the way, and for some reason - just like when they were teenagers - they begin to travel in packs again. They talk and laugh to loudly, just stop anywhere to chat... and chat... and chat, preferably standing in the way of anyone trying to get from A to B. And of course they have to have some desperate kind of hair colour, too blonde or too henna, leathery perma-tanned skin with "youthful" new age tattoos. Super charming, especially if it goes with that deep voice that comes from smoking and drinking too much. Damn... 10 years from now, that will probably be me. Just shoot me now.
Really interesting post tommo. I never really considered that before, but it instantly made a lot of sense. I saw that post title on reddit in bestof a few days ago, and almost clicked on it but must have gotten distracted by something else. So I'm glad for that summary.
Sibyline, I'm sure that won't be you if you're that worried about it now. My grandmother just turned 80, and looks really good for her age. She's mentally sound too, she's more observant and has better sense than most people half her age. She's dyed her hair a light, almost-grey blondish colour that says "I'm not trying to fool anyone but would still like to look reasonably nice given the circumstances." And she used to smoke and drink quite a lot when she was younger.
Another thing about old people in general that people seem to forget is that the personality traits we associate with them might be generational. For example, we associate wearing one's pants to their belly buttons, or using certain language as something old people do. But really, they're habits that they learned when they were younger, and it's not like we're going to develop them. Who knows what personality aspects we associate with the elderly are really just habits of a different generation? A lot of women weren't well educated, for example. And that could have many effects.
So apparently the girl I was with is too transparent to tell me she doesn't want me anymore because she bought up the period thing like that's something new to us. I guess the good news is I don't have to break it off with her.
Is there a thread to rant about men? :?
Haha someone should start one.
Here's another video supporting your theory that I like and find true (first minute):
Honestly I don't want to get on a woman hating bandwagon here, calling women soulless and whatnot. I don't know what goes on in every woman's head and I know I'm partially to blame for driving girls away that I've wanted. I can't really call a girl soulless if, for example, she didn't know exactly how she felt about me and was leading me on because she wanted to see where things went. I won't fault a girl for being confused and not wanting to reject me simply because she wasn't sure exactly how she felt about me.
However, there's something I think women do that really does deserve criticism, and I think women should stop doing it, they should see that it's bullshit and they should just stop, and that's this game they play where they attempt to keep themselves in the best possible position by refusing to break up officially with one guy while pursuing or getting romantic with another. Like a guy will cheat so he can have pussy on the regular and also try something new and keep working on his game, but a girl can get dick on the regular whether she has a boyfriend or not. She will cheat because her boyfriend gives her security but that guy at the club plays really good guitar. Then she'll discard the guitarist, her boyfriend will never be the wiser, and he'll raise that guitarist's kid and that guy won't get to even know he has a child. She will flirt with her coworkers to keep her options open in case her boyfriend ever decides to leave her, she will keep the fish on a line. Guys go all or nothing, red or black, and marry the girl they want more than any of the others, then if he cheats it's often with a girl who looks like a younger version of his wife. Girls throw their chips all over the board and marry the one with the most credit cards. And then we wonder why they get over us so quickly when we break up, dude she's already been boning her current bf six months beforehand and she instigated the break up to make you feel like you ended it so she didn't have to confront the issue and actually show some fucking resolve.
Now that that's been said, men are capable of the same underhanded manipulation, and men can also be cheating scumbags, this I know. But usually, when male friends are fighting with their GFs, they'll stay loyal where female friends fighting with the BFs start looking at their options. I understand it's probably instinctive as women are raised to depend on men so they need men apart from romantic interest, and are thus more motivated to manipulate. I think if women learned to be more independent then this would stop.
You are usually pretty coherent, Original Poster, but I don't recognize anything in your post from the real world. Not me, nor anyone I've ever known. Credit cards? Guitarists? Raising other men's kids without knowing? I'm stumped.
When I have seen infidelity it was in couples where the woman settled for "Mr. Almost Right" and then realized that she had been too eager to settle down. Money and security may be a factor in choosing a mate (just as men are attracted to women with certain physical attributes - this goes way back in human history), but Anna Nicole Smiths are few and far between.
I have seen cheating, but I have literally never seen what you describe. Except in movies, of course.
When I have ever been coherent? But I've seen what I described a lot, even if I hyperbolized it.
http://i.imgur.com/gr0QYqr.jpg
Guys cheat when they don't get sex.
Girls cheat when they don't get emotional something-or-other.
One may experience the vice versa, where a guy puts out 4 times in 2 years, and one cheats, but with did the decency to break up with him BEFORE falling in love with a new dude.
Rant about women: women friendships feel so fake. And gossipy. Wouldn't one rather fist fight?
/fourth person
Heard Stephen Fry say somewhere - women do as if they were a minority, but they make up 51% of the population.
It's funny, and then it's not - it's absolutely horrifying, if you look at the history of women's rights.
I'm not about to write an essay - but it's all not so long ago and still ongoing - it's completely useless to try and neutrally determine differences in behaviour, when it's been so heavily pre-programmed culturally.
The stories of Chinese girl's feet everybody has heard, bones getting all broken and the front clapped backwards and bandaged, so they develop into a sort of hoof - if they didn't foul away, like they often did.
Well - even running away was out of the question then.
But another thing I heard about ancient Chinese women is not so much known - of course they were not allowed to read and write and learn it - but somehow a secret culture came up, and women developed their very own written code - must have been a network of high-society ladies, writing each other anyway. Has been found lately - all on already used paper, they could get their hands on.
Another thing - the invention of the postbox in the 19th century did amazing things for women's liberation - beforehand they had to get their letters stamped by father or husband to be able to send them.
I just came up with a theory on the supposed heightened awareness of the world around us - including dishes - women are said to have.
And mine is definitively much higher than my main male companions'.
Might just be an excuse, or something to do with education, this lack in mindfulness many notice - but - could also have to do with women doing the gathering in hunter-gatherer societies. Checking for berries and nuts and stuff constantly at the side.
While men were on about keeping concentrated on the one deer of desire or so..
Gathering by the way was found to have supplied much more than 50 % of the calories - and there is a theory, that this is the reason, why only humans (and killer whales - other story) have women survive the menopause.
So there - a load of pretty much useless knowledge for ya!
Pretty girls with visible legs and cleavage is one of the best things in the world.
I believe this something-or-other that most girls are looking for is a guy who feels strong and independent, but also has a caring side and is civilized.
I have never believed in the "bad boy" myth - sure, there is a grain of truth in it on some points, but anything that's attractive about bad boys is even more attractive in kind guys who possess those attractive traits.
Most girls don't want guys who act needy and concerned about everything (a.k.a. "nice guys"), they want guys who are goal-driven and are happy with themselves, and can flirt casually without worrying so much about the outcomes or "expecting" a lot of things, and who aren't necessarily always five feet away from them day in and day out, but actually have their own lives to care about as well.
I have a MONSTER of a complaint about women, btw. Not all women, of course, but the type that says: "I have 4 kids at home. 3 actual kids and then my husband." WTF? How respectless is that!? Imagine if men talked about their wives like that. Not to mention that if you see your husband like that, you are bound to treat him that way, and then how is he supposed to act? Really, sister, divorce him if you must, but don't castrate him.
Look, all I'm saying is if female genitalia mutilation was used to keep them more loyal, should we really be so quick to discount the practice as savage without really studying the efficacy for ourselves? To each their own. /rant
Sorry, didn't realize that this was the transparent trolling thread. My bad.
Lol. We're just not mature enough to handle a thread like this around these parts.
Speak for yourself, I'm like way mature. My genitals are mutilated and everything.
OP's troll posts are among the best of the best.
*heart emoticon that you can't do on DV coz our emoticons are retarded*
Just cause I sleep under bridges doesn't mean I'm a troll.
Totally works for a friend of mine's 3-year-old. She's kind of a push-over when it comes to supplying her boobs.
You are NOT allowed to go in my room EVER!! :nono::mad::evil:
...But I have every right to invade your personal space. :smitten:
[Smirks and Shrugs] Sorry, couldn't resist.
Men gossip just as much as well. You're a fucking sexist! All females are sexist!
I actually have a friend, and we have hit each other on the face. Bare knuckled. He's now one of my closest friends. I really trust the guy. Funny how that works. You don't know someone till you fight them.
Nice text StephL, I've seen you post more of those psuedo-intellectual pieces. But I'm going to be honest here, in this thread. You have tits and ass, and that's all I care about it. And that goes for every woman. I don't want to hear all your bullshit, I just want to put my penis in your vagina.
/me renames thread "A rant about individual humans"
Haha jk, although that would be a more accurate title.
Women are naturally beautiful. No need to cake yourself with make-up, get bigger boobs, or try to get an ass like J-Lo just to please the masses. Its like sacrificing natural beauty for an artificial one.
One thing i do find annoying is how some women talk about how ugly they look in hopes that others will say how pretty they are. I see it plenty of times on the forums and people give into it.
Another rant: I just wish women in real life would just STOP hitting on me. I catch some of them staring at me almost every time I go outdoors. I've even received a creepy, irrelevant private message on this forum from one before. I've gotten good at carrying mineself in a way that mine body language alone says, "Back off," but much like a condom, the psychological barrier doesn't work all the time. I'm seriously thinking about buying a fake wedding ring to ward them off, since frankly, I'm running out of clever, snarky rejection lines.
[Shrugs] Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Ha ha ha ha, this just reminded me of something.
One time in college, this self-important popular girl sitting next to me asked me in a silent, pseudo-sad voice, "Hey...do you think I'm ugly?" Without even stopping mine work or looking at her, I replied aloud with a shrug of mine shoulders, "Not on the outside." She started crying for real. I just gathered mine things, stood up, glared down at her, and sat somewhere else (go find some other poor sap to be your pet). She wasn't so self-important after that.
The last time i made a girl cry was at a school dance.....I felt kinda bad.
I don't mine receiving compliments, stares, or flirtatious comments from women. If anything i enjoy them. Luckily all i have to do is be myself and people in general will leave me alone afterwards. My friends list on here will show you how popular i am. :D
[Shrugs] I wouldn't. Quite frankly, if they're good, it can be hard to tell whether or not they're faking it.
[Shrugs] In mine opinion, flattery and compliments are nothing but greedy tactics designed to gain a person's favour so said person can satisfy one's own selfish ends. Thus, I meet them with indifference. One time, this annoying young girl holding a pen and a clip board (obviously selling or advertising something) approached me in a shop and said, "You look cool!" Flattery will get you nowhere with me, was the first answer that came to mind. But since I was in there with mine mother, I simply blew her off. If I was in there by mineself, I would have smashed her heart into a million pieces. I do not take kindly to sales people. They want your money--that's it. Or whomever's controlling them wants your money. (It's like, all I want is to get what I came for and get the hell out of here, and you're going to slither up from behind me, all charm and smiles, so you can sell me your useless wares. Hope she slips on a wet floor.)
Another time in a library, this tall, blonde-haired girl approached me and said, "Hey, (Mine-Name). Long time no see. How have you been? You look great today." After a brief pause, I just said, "Who the hell are you?"
Reputation means nothing to one such as I. If anything, I'm grateful to have so few contacts--online and offline. And in all mine time being in this community, I don't think I have ever viewed a single user's profile page--with the exception of two novel critiquing partners, for the sole purpose of sending a private message. [Shrugs] I'm just not very curious about others, beyond professionalism. That, and I'm just not the kind of person whom goes around stalking other users's profiles, posts, and whatnot.
Not everyone who compliments me does so with greedy intentions. A lot of times there is nothing to gain from complimenting me especially if it comes from some random stranger that i'll never see again. Its not that difficult for me to distinguish the difference between a genuine compliment and one with selfish intentions.
Haha you're a curious fellow Arista. Interdependancy is not such a bad thing in my opinion. With the few people I know, I bond well and take the relationship seriously. The rest? I don't care, and I have no trouble saying no. As for women, I just want to fuck them. Some women really like to sling men along as a pet. Then again it takes two for that to happen...
