  • Mrs. Robinson

    With all this talk of Mrs. Robinson in the message board, no one seems to think/remember that she seduced Dustin Hoffman's character SOLELY so he would not sleep with her daughter. She didn't do it because she was attracted to him or wanted to seduce a younger man.

    If one pays attention, one understand that the reason why she doesn't want Dustin's character to sleep with the daughter is that the daughter is actually his sister! She and DH's character's father had a relationship in college, and the daughter is the result of that college fling.

    The whole understanding of "The Graduate" changes when one keeps this in mind.

  • "reality"

  • brickbat

    I have to admit I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say.

    If you're ranting against liberals/progressives, though, Ben has said on numerous occasions that Bush sucks, in case you were looking for an ally there. Whatever.

  • No wonder the ladies can't resist Ben Dover

    Here are some of his stylings I have collected from this thread alone:

    Women have no code of honor. They have venal, vindictive attitudes and always take the low road. It is their nature.

    Is it? Or is it something about the way you relate to them?

    Those lower on the food chain get the fat ones. It is amazing and funny how many of these fat fuglies get pregnant and shit out a baby and had no idea they were pregnant to begin with. It sucks to be you.

    It sucks to be... who? I'm quite happy with my life, thank you very much. Although, admittedly, I am of the female gender. Still, I try not to spew hate over people I don't even know.

    Just shows you how fucked up most women are.

    And men are paragons of mental health?

    The funny thing is most of you ladies would rather stay in a shitty relationshit than be a man (or an adult) and move on. You like the chaos. You are just justifying the shitty things you do. It sucks to be you. That you are loser and justifying your actions is your problem. To the other fat fuglies, read what was written. I said most american women. The exception proves the rule. Most of you are sucking the same tit that says gimme but will never hold yourself, or other women, to the same level of accountability, liability and responsibility you hold men to or that men are held to by society, etc. You just can't cut it. If you didn't have a man to blame for your bad decisions you all be very confused and suicidal.

    Who are you talking about here? Your last girlfriend? I'm not fat, and I've reached a time in my life when I consider men "optional". I have always earned my own living, and when I was married, earned more than my husband - but never said a word about that because gosh - it might have hurt his feelings.

  • More Ben Dover

    what you have found about the ladies is that most are full of shit. Just read their missives. The routinely ignore logic and reason. They create their little fucked up scenarios from whole cloth with nothing to base them upon. You made not mention of philandering yet they say you did. Delusional is an accurate description of them and they wonder why men don't want anything to do with them, unless it involves uncommitted sex.

    Yes, you make an excellent point. 50% of the human race sucks and is incabable of reason. Is the other 50% like you? Looks like we're headed for the land of milk and honey then!

    I never have to defend myself against these fat fugly bitches. It sucks to be you ladies. I pull in well over 7-figures annually and have a great life. You delusional ladies on the other hand are always looking for someone to pay your way. Whatever happened to equality, accountability and responsibility? Most of you only have to offer sex, when you are younger. Most of you know are operating on expired tags. Young chicks win again. It always the unattractive, overweight and older ones who are extreme feminists who talk the talk but can't walk the walk. You have no logical/empirical capacity. Most of you are of marginal intelligence. Again, it sucks to be you.

    Yes, yes. We get it. Women are stupid and ugly and no one likes them. They should probably be strangled in their cribs. No one thinks that it's that you who have a problem with 50% of the human race. That couldn't be it.

  • Jan

    Ben Dover is a total nutcase, delusional, bitter, and his level of "logic" is to call anyone who disagrees with him fat, ugly and old. Plus he's a blatant liar. Just read him for the laughs, and toy with him occasionally if you're in the mood, but don't expect anything reasonable to ever come out of his stupid trap. And just be really glad you're not him--imagine what a sad life he must lead!

  • Ben, keep dreaming

    A beautiful woman would not give you a second glance. Oh, unless a change of money was involved. When was the last time you went out with a woman who actually liked you--at least by the end of the evening?

  • that's his standard answer to guys

    Hey Ben, what about the guy code of honor? I thought you were all so nice to each other.

  • Truth is

    there are scads of guys like Ben Dover (ostensibly).

    They are out there putting on their best 'performance' to get a girl.

    The girls usually only look at shallow things like:

    - is the guy well dressed and clean?

    - is he hot?

    - is he treating me well?

    Usually as long as these tests are passed, the girls are more than willing to open the gates.

    My problem in comparison, can be summed up by what my high school girlfriend told me which is: "Be yourself".

    And that is the problem. Being yourself means you never get laid or even have a shot at a relationship, unless 'yourself' is truly perfect, which most of us are most definitely NOT.

    Face it, most people put on 'acts' in their lives, if for the night, or for a whole marriage. A world that I am just beginning to comprehend.

    And while someone may tell me that it is better that I act myself, because the 'right one' will recognize this, I unfortunately was not born into the right family, where daddy has a big company which I stand to inherit, and I am not blessed with Brad Pitt looks, where everything is forgiven bya woman.

    Meanwhile, I suffer under an inability to be slick enough to get me some action while I wait for the perfect 'right one' to finally 'recognize' me.

    Women largely do not suffer under this, or course, because they go pick their 'performance artist', like (supposedly) a Ben Dover, for the night.

    So this argument that men like Ben and me cannot or will not get female attention because of our beliefs or thoughts is specious and disingenuous and another female RUSE designed to throw us off.

    God forbid feminism's cracks be opened wider to reveal the rot underneath, especially by a lowly mere male.
