    Laurel, you really have issues with me.?

    Yes, I do. You post constantly, offering neither fact or intelligent discourse, but only hateful comments about women.

    You need to be able to figure out which women are fuckable and which are "nasty dogs"? No, it comes AUTOMATICALLY, as it does to all guys.

    It is not automatic in decent, courteous HUMAN BEINGS of either sex. And it is bizarre and hateful to continuously post insults to your fellow human beings. It is especially bizarre since you admit to many flaws and failings in your own appearance, yet you feel free to attack other people, most of whom you could not possibly even know what we look like.

    Not really overweight anymore, I have been losing weight the last six months and have ZERO belly now on most days, now it is time for me to build up some arm muscles. Balding, not bald. Is this a CRIME? If so you are proving to be a shallow bitch.

    Let me get this straight: I am a shallow bitch for reminding you that YOU have posted regularly about your weight, thinning hair, etc. but it is OK for YOU to call women "nasty dogs", presumably for having the same kind of weight problems.

    Is being 40 a crime too? I guess I have a new reason to avoid 40 year old women.

    Of course not! Being FORTY TWO is wonderful. It's also wonderful for WOMEN. Everyone ages, hence it is absurd to lob insults at any of your fellow human beings for the "crime" of being too old.

    I am, or was, a nice guy. Too bad, I should have gotten my way with women and not be bitter and feeling lonely and socially powerless because I cannot stand to see women fucking the 'dogs' then pissing about it to chumps like me.

    Brightstar, you are emphatically NOT A NICE GUY. Nice human beings do not flame others on the internet, insult half the human race, call fellow human beings "nasty dogs" (based solely on their lack of physical beauty, not their character or behavior), or constantly whine about how hard they have it. If you were a nice guy, you would have long ago attracted one of the many millions of nice women in the world, instead of driving them away by calling them "nasty dogs".

    I treat women with disdain, and they seem to enjoy it and want more, so I am on the right track. I cannot change or FIX women, I can only do what needs to be done so I get MY WAY FOR ONCE.

    If you treat people with disdain (male or female), you will reap what you sow. Maybe you will get laid at bars by self-serving gold-diggers, but you will not find the loving, trustworthy life partner that you claim to want. Only toddlers need to "get their own way". Adults know that quality relationships require maturity, sensitivity, compromise, caring, tenderness and mutual respect.

    WHO IS THE NASTY DOG HERE? ME! But not 'nasty', just a proud DOG.

    The term "nasty dog" (as you yourself used it) means a woman who is not physically beautiful enough for your tastes. You just used that term to describe women who you feel are not "fuckable". It is unlikely you will find a kind-hearted, trustworthy mother for your children by screwing barflys who are "fuckable".

    And, so what that homely women want to screw Brad Pitt? And in the next breath they lambaste (falsely) men like me for supposedly only wanting hot women, WHICH IS FALSE BY THE WAY.

    I am sure there are shallow women out there who only want to have sex with "hot guys", and you yourself have posted frequently about encountering them in bars and being rejected because you are not good looking enough, and don't act arrogant enough, to interest such women. Only shallow, immature HUMAN BEINGS seek physical appearance in their sexual partners above all other characteristics, such as honesty, loyalty, trustworthiness, kindness, intelligence, and so forth.

    Makes you a hypocrite-- a typical feminist crime.

    How on earth does this make ME a hypocrite? When I was single, I did not choose male partners based on whether or not they resembled Brad Pitt. I didn't reject kind, decent men because they had receding hairlines! And I didn't call ANYONE a "nasty dog" based on what they looked like.

    I will say this and you will still believe your lies anyway (it comforts you apparently), but I only want a girl I can trust and who is honest and who I can communicate with and who is not ugly nor too old so I can still breed with her.

    I cannot possibly be lying, because all your previous posts have been archived on Salon for the whole world to read. Your own written words support everything I am saying. You say you want a decent woman, yet you constantly slam women who don't measure up to your standards of physical beauty -- at the same time you admit you are not remotely thin or handsome yourself. What EXACTLY does ugly mean to you? Is it all about looks? What about people who are UGLY ON THE INSIDE? BTW: not many women of any type are going to want a man who says he wishes to "breed with her".

    Maybe it hurts you that I tell the truth and that you COMPREHEND THIS. Sucks to be you, huh?

    I am not the least bit hurt, since I know this is not even remotely the truth, and I am a very happily married woman for decades so none of this "dating for breeding production" stuff applies to me anyways. And no, it doesn't suck to be me at all. I am not the one constantly online complaining about how awful my life is, and I am not the one who is alone and whining about it.
