Back to your diss of me

The one that claims I have problems in the dating world.

I HAD problems in the dating world. I sincerely BOUGHT the bullshit argument that women wanted nice men. I was a true gentleman-- so many people told me this.

IT GOT ME close to zilch in interest from any women who interested ME. By 'interested me', I mean they had some brains on their shoulders, were trustworthy, did not whore around, were kind, were 5-7 in looks (to match me), and did not expect Mr. Perfect of me nor did they expect someone to just ape feminist propaganda lines back at them.

So I read a few books and discovered I was a social retard. I discovered why all the men I despised around me, the jerks and assholes, had more women than they could handle while I sulked. ALONE.

Now I know better. I know if I want a woman, I toy with her and get her on the 'hook'.

OF course, this only makes me more cynical that women really have ZERO FUCKING CLUE what is good in a man, what sort of man is good, why a good man is needed or desired, etc, ad nauseam, you've heard it all before, yada yada.

Anyways, have I a woman, I do not trust her to stick it out with a man, not just me, but ANY man. The exception would have to be someone who REPEATEDLY professes to me that sticking it out is more important than her wanting to one day 'find herself' or some other rotten cliched term for narcissistic selfishness.

(Never mind that due to the politics in this country in the past eight years and people's undying obeisance to evil forces of the two faced corporate fascist coin called Democrats and Republicans, I consider most American to be utter buffoons and thus I want to move on to a society that actually THINKS rather than inoculating itself from less than sweet thoughts by using narcotics, food, teevee, and other crutches while singing past the cemetary, hoping the Nazis march past them)

But I'm not bitter...

It is a bit of a bind, isn't it?

I mean, if I was gullible and naive, I would be able to get by.

If I am knowledgeable, then it behooves me to keep my opinions to myself around women. Fair enough as most women seem to think of themselves and all women as completely above criticism.

I do understand this.

Yet I cannot unlearn what I know from being on this planet for the past forty two years.

So, I am not the first man to put on a 'game' face and make the best of the remaining situation.

Are there good women? Of course there are, I meet them often enough to know this.

Are they into ME? Depends... is she looking for a guy whose daddy owned a company? Is she looking for a hot guitar toting stranger to rev her engine? Is she seeking someone with a steady supply of narcotics? I cannot fulfill any of these typical criteria women seem to expect.

Maybe she is just into smart guys who do not merely lay down to get walked on. Maybe she wants a guy who is ambitious and easygoing. Creative? Interested in lots of things?

I can fulfill those.

But I do have to keep the woman at a distance until I understand she does not think like a typical American woman.

I really do not sense any comradery with American women. With Americans in GENERAL. I do not understand the willful ignorance coupled with naive arrogance that seems to be the raison etre of most American women (and men too).

Maybe one day, I will find a culture or group I feel I belong to.

I had thought I'd found a foreign girl who came to the states who had the right attitude, who actually LIKED guys, but the Americanization begins well before they reach these shores, as American teevee culture is a very fine programming agent worldwide.

Asehpe

it is cute to claim that all of that is legal, but legality is not the problem.

Social acceptance BY WOMEN (and less so, by men) is what is important. Women stepping up to make men feel equal is important. Demanding that science match women's wombs so men can be on equal footing with women and be ablwe to bear kids is critical.

That women refuse to act fairly towards men is ample ground for men to diss women in return.

Where women fail to pony up, society has to make laws that COMPENSATE MEN IN RETURN for women's refusal to treat men as equals in the ways I mentioned (and in other ways too)

If men want decent women

Can you tell me who did that? Which feminists? Names? Books? (I can give you some names if you want, since there are radicals, of course. But not all of them are radicals; most are actually quite normal people. I'm sorry to see you only met the worst kind.

Any man that wants a decent woman has to KISS ASS until he gets his way with her. Then when he is trapped in marriage, he has to KISS ASS so she does not clean him out.

If you are so smart, describe to me how a man can challenge this and still have access to a decent woman?

you women are SO freaking clever pretending their are no social pressures when it comes to what men have to put up with.

Men are no longer sitting quietly in corners and not challenging these limits being forced onto us by WOMEN.
