Listen Dream..you can think whatever you want. You have obviously done that anyway. Do you know the conversations we had? How many people give up something for someone they love? Maybe, you have never had anyone think enough about you to be willing to sacrifice anything. Not my problem.

You and OP would make a great team. He does not consider 200 minutes (20x10) a week to be a sacrifice of time out of his life.
You are too busily engrossed in playing the one-upsmanship game where a woman would have to prove herself to you in the sacrifice dept. by competing with the ghosts of your past.
You both win the Darwin Award.

I was tempted to defend you against mechski &/or MuscleBoundDom (who are probably one and the same); but I see you're holding your own just fine without need of assistance from the peanut gallery.

While I strive to learn from others smarter than I am, your French doesn't throw me for a loop; but, I do confess I had to look up what you meant by a "Pygmalion fetish", which, erroneously, I would have thought had something to do with "pygmies".

Yet again, you're more well read than I, as, apparently...

“The Pygmalion Syndrome”, in its broadest definition, means falling in love with your own creation.

The Myth of Pygmalion and Galatea

quote:

Pygmalion was a talented Greek sculptor from Cyprus. After becoming disgusted by some local prostitutes, he lost all interest in women and avoided their company completely.

Pygmalion saw women as flawed creatures and vowed never to waste any moment of his life with them. He dedicated himself to his work and soon created Galatea, a beautiful stature of a woman out of ivory.

Pygmalion worked so long and with such inspiration on the statue of Galatea, that it became more beautiful than any woman that had ever lived.

What irony that he who had scorned women should fall in love with a woman who could never love him in return!

PS: Reading on, I'm still working on erasing the thought of what caused Pygmalion's castration anxiety!

How sweet of you. See, even though there wouldn't be any point (distance, etc.), I would agree to meet with you just because I know you would make interesting [nerdy-geeky] company.
(Plus, I believe you're basically harmless.)
(Also, I could always gag you if you wouldn't shut up. )

As for your statement that "most women don't meet any men" -- let me rephrase that for you. Most women don't want to meet just any man.
Further, on what basis are you alleging that "most women meet ZERO men"? How would you know this?
Are you sure you aren't hearing women say that they are meeting NO men they have any interest in? Men who turn out to be ZEROs in terms of what they're looking for, that is.

So rather than pointing the finger at "most" women for not accommodating YOUR whims or your ass-backwards way of going about things, you should be asking yourself what it is that YOU are doing wrong in making yourself not meet-worthy?

I do disagree with this. I was picky and particular. I found a lot of guys lied to me about their age, weight, hair line, relationship status, employment and about being Dominant. I didn't tolerate liars.

I should have explained myself better. It isn't the not clicking part, it's the fact that she tried to squeeze in 10 dudes in one week, which OP does not regard as an unreasonable endeavor.

In other words, she's just wasting her time. Personally, I would see her actions as being reckless, foolish, and quite frankly how a desperate woman would behave in jumping the gun and not taking the time to find out more about each man in advance.

At the very least, I would see it as being extremely insecure about yourself. She wouldn't need to go meet that many men to flaunt bragging rights either because it's not how many men you meet that counts in that vain, little universe, but how many men asked you out or how many you turned down!

This is what I like about forums - there is always something to learn.
I had no idea it took women so much time, energy and effort just to meet someone at a coffee shop.

I had no idea it took one musclebounddom to ask the same question "why doesn't anyone want to do what I want because I'm such a jerk?" So many different ways?

If you actually like learning, why haven't you learned from your past mistakes and attitudes? And then you come back here and ask why isn't this working, when the simple rule of cause-and-effect should have told you something.

Or somehow do you think the rule of what constitutes insanity does not apply to you?

That's my opinion and I think it comes across in the threads he starts.

quote:

ORIGINAL: MuscleBoundDom

I don't understand why a woman won't meet a local man, say at a coffee shop, just to see if they "click." It just takes 20 minutes out of her schedule. She could probably meet 10 men in one week. Surely, out of the 10 men, there would be one she would "click" with. Yet, most women don't meet any men and then they complain that they can't find anyone. That's just crazy.

Now if a woman said, "I met 10 different men last week at a coffee shop and I didn't "click" with any of them" then that would be a different story.

However, most women meet ZERO men and complain that they can't meet anyone.

Don't you agree?

MBD....chics want a man with a future, a man with a decent rig (say, a 1977 Pinto hatchback if they're looking for a swinging time, or wagon if they envision children some day).

Start thinking about the chics needs.....then you'll find chics in abundance.

I think you're right and you're wrong.

In our current society (in the US, anyway), there is a general misandry/female superiority that pervades...
My point is: Each of us values whatever we value as individuals. Yes, there's a bunch of entitled twat waffles out there. So what? There's a few good ladies, too. YOU get to decide what that means to you. If she's a feminazi, move along. Why waste your time?

Sorry for snipping that. I do like to cut things down to the chase.

In response to both: I think you're right about misandry/gynocentrism. For example, I think there may well have been a very different reaction if the thread had been about men. From memory, that's true. Again from memory, it seems like Hillwilliam once actually demonstrated that forum members respond differently to the idea of a man cheating versus a woman. That reality goes unrecognized all too often, and for that, I'm sorry.

On behalf of my sex (and fat thread drama aside): we are also judged and evaluated, just by different criteria. We could debate all night about who gets the shorter end of that stick.
