ORIGINAL: juliaoceania why are you still single? "Still single" is untrue. "Recently single" is more on the mark. And that's because I choose to be. I know that sounds like a cop-out, but it's true: I have other things going on that exclude personal relationships, for the moment. quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 I don't think you apologized enough for the misogyny displaced here....women you have stomped on I wasn't the one doing the stomping, most of the time. I earned my opinion the hard way, by observing the negative of it. quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Of course, many women AND MEN, stay with partners for the wrong reasons The differences are profound. The 'wrong reasons' are affected by social and psychological factors dictated by sex that are too often overlooked, to the detriment of all. Sometimes men and women behave the same way, for the same reasons. But at least as often they don't. Women are not simply men with tits, and men are not simply women with cocks. Thinking otherwise does more harm than good. quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 ... but you are talking about blatant manipulation, acting like just enough of an asshole to keep them off balance. I didn't say act like an asshole; I was saying it didn't matter if you acted like an asshole, as long as you keep a woman guessing. I think you're missing the point, which was: Be awesome, because it makes for a better life. But don't expect it to save a relationship, and don't expect bad behavior to ruin one. I'll bet you've felt trapped in 'bad' relationships before... well, this is why. And I'll bet you've broken up with some decent guys, too, for reasons you couldn't put your finger on. The man's status as a jackass is too often only an excuse used after the fact, by women who aren't able to express their real reasons for leaving. If you as a woman can't accept that, then at least accept that's what your friends are often thinking when you're tallying your complaints over a tub of ice cream. quote:
ORIGINAL: SorceressJ Testosterone poisoning, girls. Yeah, that's what it is. You got me. I'm going to go smash things with a bat now, see if it enlightens my worldview.
