ORIGINAL: BitaTruble quote:
He was asking questions, not making statements. Questions provoke thought and discussion, statements are often not intended for discussion, and as such, are often a closed door. Given his later post, I do have to disagree with you. quote:
But I think my main point was that women ARE superficial, they're simply hypocritical about it. By his own admission, this was his main point and it's certainly not a question. It's a gross generalization which lumps all women into the same category. The point is really moot however, because the OP has already deleted the profile he created less than a day ago. A typical hit and run, rather trite, not very original and I'm marking this thread closed for myself as I see neither entertainment value nor nothing of educational value in a thread designed to do nothing more than bash women just for the sake of bashing women. YMMV but I'm not wasting any more time on this one. Celeste Actually, if you are going to put his words under a microscope he did not say ALL women are superficial. He said, simply, "women". It is no more accurate to say he intended to mean ALL women than it would be to say he intended to mean MOST women. But, why ask for clarification, when you can attack someone? Looking carefully at the entire body of what he had to say, you are merely repeating your mistake of assuming that he was making statements more than asking questions. And, as he predicted, instead of open debate, there was a great deal of fallacious Ad Hominem attack. (Speaking of which, we notice that you also don't bother to post your weight) Interesting to note that some of the most vicious attacks came from women who do indeed refuse to list their weights.....and look a trifle plump in their photos. I suspect you'd have complete sympathy and approval for a short fat girl rejecting a short man because she says "I need him to be tall, so I can feel submissive and overwhelmed", but you would have nothing but vicious hate if a man said "I need her waist to be slim, so I can wrap my arm around it, and pull her down, so I can feel Dominant". The truth can be stated by anyone. Their personal traits, or their motives in stating the truth, matter a great deal less than facing that truth calmly and honestly. But, there will always be many cowards who heap contempt upon the little boy who cries out, "The Emperor has no clothes!" Please educate me....how does a point become moot by someone deleting their profile? It is the point that matters, not the person. But you can't actually argue the point, so you insist on attacking the person. You call the OP "rather trite, not very original"----- isn't that redundant? If I were unkind, I'd not only call you stupid, but pretentious in your manner of speaking. But that would be redundant....... Oh....and it is considered standard practice to insert a notation when you alter a quote. When you bold something in someone else's words, it is considered dishonest not to insert: "(empasis added)". YMMV but I'm not wasting any more time on this one.
