  • sue me PART ONE

    IOW, you might say words that you feel are polite or sound as though you are interested in a woman as a person. But when you're thinking words like you think...it comes out in your facial expressions, the look in your eyes.

    Maybe. Probably a bit. More likely not much. I have been in the dating market for going on 24 years (being 41 now). And well before I even had an inkling about how sad relations between the sexes are in America or how women are manipulative but irresponsible, I had the same issues attracting decent women as always. I was not a 'character' with an 'act', a clown as it were, or a Brad Pitt, or rich. But I was a real person who bought the equals argument. Not good enough. I understand now. I'm a social doofus. So be it. I have been apparently too average or less to be of much use to any woman to bother to make the approach to me, to let me know she understood and wanted me anyway. whatever, I have given up by now because even if I were with someone, I would not trust her nor her long term intent. Women seem to distracted and flighty, most of my relationships have been this way. How can you trust someone who claims men never speak, then she never tells you something is wrong in the relationship? I know. More fish in the sea, whatever. who am I? I wish I could just go do one night stands with anonymous bodies, it would solve a lot. If I were a woman this would not be a problem because we all know how many times a day women are hit on, often by decent men. But women are too flighty and shallow. whatever.

    Like calling your sis-in-law a cow -- are you one of those guys who has average looks, but will only date women who look like models?

    Nobody in my family can stand her. That is my style- I call a cow a cow, and let the cow chips fall where they may. She has gotten a bit better the past few years, but only because my mom worked her over.

    And models are mostly shallow, I should say shallower, than average women. I want someone who is 5 to 7 in looks, like me. But 5 to 7 women, short ones even, can usually get 6'2 guys with a rich daddy, a locked up career or family money, and a guitar on their back. Really, I want someone I can trust and have some faith in, and who is not stupid. Impossible in a feminist infested nation like the USA. Oh I believe in equality between the sexes, equal pay yada yada. It is my belief in equality BOTH WAYS that bothers women- that women should be held to the same rules as are men. There goes the so-called fairer sex and the idea of fairness, OUT THE WINDOW. This feminist chatter about equality is all an act.

    You have an unattractive personality here on Salon. You hijack almost every thread you post on to your own narcissistic unhappiness.

    Maybe 5% of the threads. So you lie, what else is new? And I do not hijack an open thread. I usually post my one comment, sometimes two and let others respond. Most people sniff and walk past thinking they won against me by not engaging me in a logical discussion. Others post ad hominem attacks against me and believe this means they have won. Most wont engage me because they know my point is often, not always, unassailable or at least valid from a certain point of view. My views are often novel, but that is because I read and I think and I see what is going on and I feel men need to speak out and speak up. Poison in women's minds I know, to have men that actually say what is on their mind, when all women ever hear from men and are USED TO are things that are designed to get the women to drop trou.

    Besides, if I were a woman posting her 'personal testament' I would be praised for raising my voice against the so-called patriarchy or some other bulls**t. White men are the last slaves. they should sit still and silent in the corner and speak only when spoken to. And they should respond only in ways and about things that please the master. "Oh, and do not forget to hand over your check to the master when you divorce, the wife owns you now" (courtesy of the 'justice' system).

    Perhaps you might consider conducting yourself in a mature manner intended to attract positive affirmation and interaction.

    If you read any of my posts and rants over the past few years, you would understand I am not here to make nice, I do not believe much of the crap most people on this site believe. I got sick of my fake plastic lib friend crowd I hung out with in high school and college who only accepted me when I spoke the official lib party line. God forbid I should actually have an original fucking thought in my head and actually VOCALIZE IT. I am a libertarian moderate semi-hedonist who thinks the left and the right are two sides of the same extremist unthinking coin, both inimical to the health of this nation. Oh, and I do think women ought to be held to the same standards as are men. Call me crazy...
