Ok, fair enough, but you constantly use the word "all" like you do not believe that there are any decent women out there.

JustErin said:

Alright, then i will change that to...."Very few".

Spats said:

That's better.

Spats said:

Well- one thing you might want to understand about women.. most of us have pretty simple needs and wants- if some men would pay attention- they might get that.

some women have wide standards, some long....

JustErin said:

Spat's is actually listening to someone?? I bet it's b/c he's digging your avatar

ohhhhh mannnnn.

CalhounSq said:

I don't think Jersey's too worried.

Spats said:

have you considered a mail order bride?

shanti0608 said:

i'm doing better than i was a week ago, that's all i can say

thanks



and you?

shanti0608 said:

Yes the wants and needs are simple...

1. Listen to them go on endlessly about themselves

2. Lots and lots of attention

3. Lots and lots of affection. (cuddling and other nonsense)

I think those are the top three.

Spats said:

Yeah,
they're not like you & me, Spats.
More giving & less self-absorbed.
Their topics should be more expansive, like the your posts.

Y'know...
ever since I first noticed your posts around here,
I sensed a kindred spirit in you.

As a matter of fact, I consider your posts to be wind beneath my org-wings Spats.

Spats said:

Well if the choice is between YOU & going lesbian I imagine a lot of women would do the latter

JPW said:

Oh- I am hanging in there.. Glad to hear that you are doing better...

so you see spats is still just a bit of a twat, the brief fashion for praising his 'divisive' baiting now having passed.

Spats said:

1. Nope

2. Want my damn space most of the time

3. Not more than a guy wants it


Dude, are you ever gonna post a picture of yourself? You clearly must be drop dead gorgeous to demand so much of a woman.

Romera said:

I honestly think that people like you are the exception.

I mean, how many posts have I read here on the org from women who say they just can't handle hanging out with other women??

JustErin said:

Most of the women I hang out with I met here and I was drawn to them (Handclaps, for instance) because I see the same things in them that I see in myself. Very laid back and genuine souls and women who are very kind and have a low tolerance for bullshit. I've been fortunate.

Romera said:

Same as me with my two (and only) close female friends. It's certainly not every women that has these particular stereotypical qualities (and many more like jealousy, and ridiculous competitiveness).

But I have to say that in most cases I just can't relate to women. I think because I grew up with three brothers and no sisters, I tend to gravitate towards men as friends. I just feel much more comfortable and seem to be able to relate better to guys.

I don't wanna women bash here, but I can honestly say that I have seen a lot of women who are exactly like Spats describes.

Of course, I have seen men like that too.

Romera said:

Really!!! If he is expecting so much from his babes- he better be HUNK!!

JustErin said:

I have also seen women like the ones Spats describes, hell I'm related to some of them.

But, I grew up being a tomboy, hanging with the guys and the things we discuss just aren't the things girls discuss. Most of the things some women discuss: clothes, shoes, shopping, other women, celebrities, gossip about people they know or don't know are just not important to me. I rather discuss world politics and social issues.

I don't want to give women a bad rap either but most of us know women like Spats is talking about and obviously he's dealt with enough of them to be turned off.

Romera said:

WOW I have a lot of female friends & while we WILL discuss a cute shoe @ the drop of a dime that's really not the jist of our discussions. We usually end up talking about our careers (which includes children, education, community & art vs. commerce), money (not having enough, what to do w/ what we've got), the men in our lives (or lack of ) & fucking food which leads to the weight discussion

I'm not gonna front & act like there are NO women like you two are talking about but in MY life they aren't the majority...

People generally tend to hang out with people that are like themselves. So if you are not that way it would make sense that those you hang out with are not that way too.

Don't get me wrong, my friends and I do like to chat about some of the things you mentioned...

CalhounSq said:

Same with me. I grew up with 3 brothers (I'm the oldest), but it's women I feel closest to and most trusting of. My mom raised me with the whole "sisterhood" thing re: women and always encouraged me to be independent and to be with a man because I WANTED to, not because I felt I HAD to (financially or socially). The women in my life have been the ones to help boost my self-esteem, to mentor me, to have the "heart to hearts" with. Unfortunately, the most important men in my life (father, brothers, boyfriends, etc.) have tended to be hung up on making sure I please them by looking good rather than possessing any other qualities. I've been friends with women who don't tend to like other women, but in my experience, their fixation on men and putting their relationships with men they barely know over women have gotten in the way.

That's interesting It might be an overall level of "dramatics" that those women lend themselves too as well (in men & all things)
