  • Don't flatter yourself, freak

    Sometimes they are... I've had teen guys make passes at me more than once. And I clearly remember from my youth a college boy my mom taught showing up on our doorstep like a lost puppy, after sending dozens of love letters.

    teen guys are looking for sex, even from not so good looking old women.

    heck, even young girls go after old 41 y.o. quatrogenarians like me, if it flatters them. Just two days ago, she must have been all of 16, I noticed her nice legs and she noticed I noticed, so she left her mom and sidled over to me at the condiment stand, looking my way to see if I would say something or act a certain way. I ignored her, of course, and she slinked away.

  • What women really 'think'

    You are totally awesome. Ben Dover thinks there's nothing ethically wrong with dumping a woman one day before the 10th anniversary, when she's legally entitled to a bigger share

    I do not understand. It is ethical for a woman to take money from a man?

    I think I will split my gut open from laughing at what you women 'think'.

    Women, you were created to stand up for yourselves. Too many women PROVE they are whores by taking the EASY WAY OUT, in or outside of marriage, it is still a whore. Make your own damn money, don't expect handouts like some old ho beggar.

  • I don't know

    if this article is true or not. I read it originally and figured without more data points it is just another set of studies.

    But I will tell you one thing that is 100% true.

    If this article had flattered women, the feminists would be hollering up and down the boulevard about how great the study conclusions are and how they prove women are superior and that men suck after all. Proving once again of course, that at its core, modern feminism is a ruse, a put on. a joke.

    Should we chastise the baboon for drooling over a swollen rump, or the doe for appreciating a heavy rack?

    Since feminism above all is a rhetorical gimmick designed to make men hand over more goodies to women, truth is the first casualty in this war.

    Women say what they need too say, truth is not part of this, to get the effect they want.

    In this case, when women chastise men for being shallow, they are attempting to do a lot of things, namely:

    - to contrast themselves against men, in effect implying that if men are this way, women are not this way- that women are not shallow and driven by their genitals. the reality could not be further from the truth, indeed it is the other way around, since science is proving lately that men spend more time looking at a woman's face and body before either rejecting or not rejecting someone than women do, that men look at the face first, not the body, and that men are interested in much more than mere looks anyway, namely is she a pleasant, trustworthy person.

    - to keep poking that stick at men. If all women criticize all men all the time, eventually the cumulative attacks leave men with low self esteem (along with their artificially pumped up shallow egos courtesy of the opposing force of female flattery), in essence making men pliable and more suggestible to ludicrous things like men assuming they are responsible for women's happiness or that it is natural for men to hand over money to women.

    - to try to weasel out of the mating game. If women can convince enough men that white is black, at least in their imagination, then the less than good looking women can get the Brad Pitts. Sorry, but men have 4 billion years of ingrown genetically juiced habit informing them which woman is hot and pliable and worth fucking and which one is the nasty old dog, not worth the bother.

    There is more, but I want to move on to something else

  • I kid you not

    this question posted on Yahoo Answers in the gender area made me do a triple take.

    But on second thought it would seem to explain a lot about how feminists on this site treat posters like me and Ben.

    Yahoo Question: Has anything anybody ever said on here made you mad? made you have second thoughts on your beliefs?

    In other words, the only way you can make a woman second guess or question her assertions is if you piss her off real badly. But most times, as long as you do not piss her off enough, she does not have to make the mental exertion to actually bother to try to follow your argument to see if she agrees with it or not.

    I am not saying this explains all women, because some women truly DO communicate and try to follow other people's arguments, but this question sure does seem to cut to the chase in explaining the wall of illogic that hits me from feminists sometimes after I make a provocative but (in my mind) factually correct point.

    The women who this question does apply to, well, it makes their behavior seem really insulting and condescending to the other person that they do not feel the need to actually follow the arguments.
