why is it that at any given point in history the vast majority of the boys/men are complaining that they can't get laid. Something doesn't add up.
yes women pay for sex the point is that lots of men have to pay if they want straight sex with an averge woman without an investment of time or of something. NO WOMAN unless she has two heads and weighs 500 pounds has to pay for no strings STRAIGHT SEX with an AVERAGE guy. Yes women pay for things BUT NEVER FOR THAT.
like women do (unless womens requirements beyond average sex with average people, which of course they do because for women average sex with average people is worse than nothing but for men is much better than nothing).
of course you don't know them that is exactly the point. Do you suppose anyone is going to tell you that they are in that position?
it is obvious that very large numbers of these men exist.
because you are female and don't have two heads and weigh less than 500 lbs. That's exactly the point. Men have to meet significantly more stringent standards to have what you have (unless they are gay of course). I don't begrudge you or any woman any of this (I know there are some who obviously do), but a little honesty (and a little less self righteous gloating, which are two really odd emotions to coexist if you think about it) about the real facts might be nice once in a while.
they are lying, they want considerably better than average.
The test is simple:
Question: How man men complain about being hit on women who are beneath them?
Answer: None
Question: How many women complain about being hit on by men who are beneath then?
Answer: All of them.
if a man posts a picture of his dick on craigslist he will get many offers from men to meet him and see how it goes, but none from women. This illustrates the actual situation. I don't say women get everything they want but women and men are most emphatically NOT in the same position. The only question is do women REALLY believe they are or are they lying as a political and cultural strategy. I don't expect a definitive answer any time soon.
because it is so obviously true. I never blamed women for anything. In fact I SPECIFICALLY said that I DON'T blame women for anything or begrudge them ANTHING other than an unwillingness to tell the truth.
since I am repeatedly assured that women are as horny and as frustrated as men, I expect this to happen any minute now.
has the world come to an end for women in those places?
it's been said a million times but apparently not often enough: WOMEN have many sexual opportunities available any time they want. EVEN GIVEN ALL THE "RAMPANT PROMOSCUITY" MANY IF NOT MOST MEN DO NOT.
the few women who use them always (without revealing their looks or identity) have a huge pool of applicants to choose from because there are so many men who will apply for any opening. The man has to either give his picture and "resume" to a woman who could be anyone, his wife or girlfriend, a reporter, anyone (remember the women looking for action aren't exposed to that risk), or announce his intentions AND IDENTITY (via a face pic) to the entire world. A man, even with a good body and a big dick can't get a response from women without a face pic. It simply can't be done. Every guy with a good body has tried it and the only responses are from gay men.
since everyone is the same and since she "chooses" not to be interested in sex except under the "right" circumstances everyone can "choose" to be like her (and should be legally compelled to do so).
become? become? it has NEVER NOT been a fashionable segment of the population to bash, anywhere, ever and for an obvious reason: they are big enough to cause trouble but haven't yet been fully "socialized" or "bought off" or "beaten down" or however the process is described and they are always going to be doing the NEW thing, how else can they compete with people who have had a lot of time to become proficient in the "old thing".
So I assume then that you would be fine with giving men the power to make it illegal for women to act in ways which the majority or men find "irrational".
This is a total lie. A fat ugly man will take a fat ugly woman over nothing. A fat ugly women would rather go without that have a fat ugly man.
The only reason you don't see those things is because only gay men consider those things worth paying for. I was hoping that once it became clear that gay men are interested in men in the same way that straight men are interested in women that the female belief that male sexuality is a conspiracy against women would abate. Obviously this hasn't happened. If this level of denial can be maintained in the face of such overwhelming public visible evidence seen every day by everyone it is difficult to say what can break through.
It isn't: the ONLY way that anyone can think it is if they believe that prudery/puritanism are essential to womens freedom from abused, etc. Obviously most, or at least a great many, people do believe this.
than it would otherwise be (in violation, by the way, as many have pointed out, of every principle of individual rights, free choice, and personal autonomy that exists).
when it comes to sex people are insane
is it ok then if the person who I pay to fuck is more fortunate than myself.
becasue they certainly have more sexual opportunities and and often more moeny than I do.
they will commit to anything, and they DO turn people down.
