  • sue me PART TWO

    You demonstrate no interests but your own misery. You show no interest in improving yourself or becoming a desirable mate in any way shape or form. You have high expectations, but want unconditional love. Why is this a mystery to you?

    You know the type, the guy who is a bang up great person, who faithfully kisses the wife on the cheek each night, puts in his hours at work so the kids get a nice house, attends the PTA meetings, etc etc etc. The story now is that the wife generally does not appreciate him because, after all, she wanted the prom king or the football hero, she is probably cheating on him, and she is getting ready to divorce him in a few years because, after all, she put in the requisite years to get her pay (through the courts) for her 'services', so she can take up with the cabana boy at the community pool. This is why I do not bother. Even the good men, ESPECIALLY the good men, get their chains pulled by the women around them everyday. No man is ever GOOD ENOUGH. Most men brush it off. I am sensitive. SUE ME. But I do think the general trendency of this so called dialog between the sexes is long term negative and destructive and I am one of the few (more are coming, believe me, I'm the canary) who bothers to speak up about it and to call women on their hyper-entitled, demanding bullsh*t. The other option most men have to attack this is to practice the WAY OF THE BASTARD- out the door before she knows what happened.

    Improving myself huh? That is my whole life. While other guys went behind the bushes to smoke dope and do the hippie girl, I worked so I could have some money one day so I can be a success so women WANT ME. I realize now this was a mistake. In Austin, the successful men are the players, the ones who take up a new girl each week and abandon the old one because they can. The one who is jobless, homeless, possibly rabid. but because he has a guitar or a pickup truck or a cute tight ass, he is the ONE. And women either are too stupid to know how to pick a decent guy, or else they really WANT these clowns. But a guy like me, nothing doing. I am considered a 'square' apparently or something equally obscene because I do not try to 'play' a girl and I do not have a tattoo and a drug habit.

    You should be asking questions about yourself, not women. Look within. You are confused about your own identity. Your distorted views are the product of your own mind. Stop inviting us to your pity party.

    Yeah, I ask how the fuck I got stuck in this insane country on this fucked up planet where the losers and the degenerates get a shot at love and life while I am outside the candy store looking in (and if I got inside the candy store, I would be looking around me all the time to see what atrocity was coming up on me from behind). I'm a worrier, sue me. A third rate Woodie Allen wannabe,

  • What I meant, and what you would have understood or al least forgiven if you had any sympathy for outlooks that differ from yours

    He doesn't even listen to himself, there's no reason for you to pay any attention. He's an idiot, plain and simple. In his first post on this thread he states that Men breed with any woman that offers, they don't choose. TWO lines later he states how men choose. Brilliant!

    Pardon my horrid sinus infection, it made my posts sloppy.

    What I meant is that most men are relatively unpicky when it comes to sex with women. Longer term, men tend to pick women for certain reasons, not related generally to the women's morals (at least in relation to how often women pick men for this trait).

  • Count me in

    as someone who is horrified that women mess with their bodies this way.

    my theory is that the men would say something, but women do not listen to men, so men don't bother.

    Not so hot when the real estate market slowed down to the lowest level in 20 years the exact month I put my house on the market. I can't win.

  • It most definitely is NOT about me

    You have to want to be happy.

    happy for me is trusting other people for good reasons

    happy is being part of a stable society where decency and honesty is still practiced and respected. the GOLDEN RULE

    happy is a society where marriages are stable, people are open, relationships are more than a one night unzip

    happy is a nation that is not running itself into bankruptcy while bullying the rest of the world

    happy is a nation that does not lie everyday to its people

    happy is a place where women do not go around acting like their shit don't stink, resenting the men for no good reason, and acting like all men owe them something, a BIG something, a BUNCH of big somethings. and MORE.

    in the end, it is most definitely NOT about me, but everyone always wants to make it like it IS, because to make it a personal attack makes them feel like they somehow defeated me and, by extension, any guy who ever has wanted to be considered an equal to women in being able to express himself freely among peers. Men, unshackle thyselves!
