I'm nice...if a guy offers to pay I say,"No...that's ok, I'll pay." Sometimes they leave it like that. If they say, "No, I insist..." Then they get extra points. I met a guy once we were not dating, we just talked on the phone a few times....he always left messages saying he loves me...that creeped me out. I would like a guy to say I love you first though...but later into the relationship, not the first time we meet.

I agree! yes to it all.
An "I love you" when its not mutual is always awkward ... on a 1st date is a red flag for extreme insecurity.... I'd say run !

- Not a full double standard but marketing things to women by making them "pink" or cute and colourful.

- Halloween costumes for girls are always "sexy [insert whatever here]"

- No one expects that female pop stars have much input in their careers. They're always puppets being lead by rich men in suits who they're probably sleeping with, too. A male artist only has to hold a guitar and he's a fully fledged serious artist and no one doubts his credibility or talent.

- Also, a male artist has women all over him but where are the videos showing a woman with men all over her?

- Are there male groupies?

- Late night ads are always aimed at men, never any men stripping or saying "call me now!"

- There's "Girls Gone Wild" but no "Guys Gone Wild".

- No Playgirl anymore as far as I know.

- The whole trend of girls being into playboy, wearing the bunny symbol, kissing girls it's like a reverse double standard! Doing things deliberately for male attention and validation. What are guys doing for OUR validation?

we still have playgirl and there is a guys gone wild only I think it's called Hot Guys Gone Wild or some shit. They just don't advertise these as much. Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy is supposed to be posing in playgirl.

Ok I think this is a double standard or just plain wrong an unfair on so many levels.

why is it when a civilian is murdered then their case becomes part of an ever expanding paper weight and the cops get to solving it when they can or when they feel like it. however when a cop is murdered, ever active duty officer is on the hunt for the killer and they stop everything they are doing to find the culprit. why can't they look out for us civilians (who pay their salaries) the way they look out for each other.

If he ask you out you, he pays. If you ask him out, you pay. Though it's been my experience men who really like you don't ask you to go dutch and you shouldn't volunteer.

In my family men at 18 have to move out, girls could stay unitl whenever though, you had to pay rent.

My dad consistentgly calls Barak Obama a black man. That's fine...no problem there.

We were discussing where an actress on Bones was from the other day. He said he didn't quite know what she was. I pegged her as Asian...or amer-asian. He argued the asian thing saing that she couldn't be asian cuz she was mixed, said she must be amer-asin. I was like waaaaaiiiiit a minute. She is specifically not asian then, right dad? Yup he said, U can't call he asian cuz she's more than asian. I asked then Barak Obama isn't black, right? NO NO NO NO...he's black he said.


WTF!!!!!

I asked him to explain this double standard and he kept talking in circles and I eventually stopped listening.

Wonder what he thinks of Mariah Carey?

DesireeNevermind said:

Well, there's another double standard right there - lack of advertising for those things whereas I can't turn my tv on late at night without seeing some bimbo flashing her boobs at me.

and asking you to give her a call

prb said:

Oh god don't get me started. I got reamed this morning for being late. Only I wasn't late, the other girl was, and my boss didn't want to single her out because I'm consistently 5 minutes late...

ANYWAY

It's not ok for us to be a little tardy, but it's ok for the boss to eat breakfast for an hour and a half, while we are working. Ughhh!!!!! Oh and then we have the 2 hour lunch breaks or the 2 hour 'friend' phone calls.

I'm so pissed today!
