ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus There's a guy in intros who is all butthurt that his deeply specific profile post was not well received. It was explained repeatedly that women are not fitish delivery systems, and are not items to be chosen off a menu. Whenever these gender type discussions pop up, I try flipping the genders to see if the argument works in the other direction. So, mens: are you items on the menu? If I made a post saying that I wanted a six foot tall redhead with green eyes, Useful Bits of a certain dimension, an Edinburgh accent, and who loved being beaten with a sjambok, what would you think? I would think you knew what you wanted, and that I wasn't it (which is irrelevant for me because I'm not looking, I'm taken, yanno). It doesn't bother me when people limit themselves, it affects them more than anyone else. If they whine about it, though, you have to tell them to put a sock in it - responsibility, after all.

There is nothing worse than being right. Instead of being right, then, try to be open. It is more difficult, and more rewarding.
