How yall gonna roll your eyes at me? I can roll mine back see? A man invented the toilet seat, so a man should be an expert at how to use it :LOL:

JediMaster said:

There is hope! After awhile we grow, and the macho pinhead jerks are not so appealing.

Follow up: I also think it could do with insecurities and self-esteem...some women's views of themselves are so low that positive attention is what they crave, even if it's from an asshole...and they'll overlook the "asshole-ishness" (asshole-ishness??...what the..??...) because they fear losing the few scant positives from the jerk that makes them feel "valuable"...Then there are those women who are simply afraid to be "alone"...to not have someone loving them, even for just a few weeks...so to them, even a "jerk" is better than nobody...and lastly, there's the view that men who are assholes have an "edge" to them that makes them exciting...

Ok, i'm sorry Bad C BAD C

...and then spend the next year messing with you by engaging in conduct that suggests they do, in fact, want a relationship after all... only to pull out the "I'm not interested in a relationship" card once again at the end.

matt said:

...That sounds familiar from a looong time ago...lol

matt said:

I think that's GREAT. Think of all the money you save when they are gone! Hey J-J-Jaded

Follow-up to the follow-up (heh): I also think some women enjoy the "martyr" role, the long suffering gf who "puts up" with the asshole's crap so that she can constantly say "I give and give and give...and this is the thanks I get!!"...the position of feeling "superior" makes her feel power cuz she feels she has something to "hold over" her lover and keep him there...as well as some women are simply repeating a relationship pattern they've known since they were kids...their fathers may have been assholes as well, and so they actually feel more comfortable within a relationship with an asshole because it feels "familiar" to them...they'd freak out if they actually had a great, decent man, because it would all seem so foreign to them...they wouldn't know what to do, and might even subconsciously sabotage the relationship either to end it or to make it worse so that it feels more "familiar", thus more comfortable...(actually, everyone is like this, I think...not just women)...

You must be young and this is what I've learned after being through a little life. You will notice that none of these things mention money, big boobs, a flat head (to sit your beer on) or any of the other horseshit from the womens thread. A good person finding a quality person that prooves to be the challenging part.

wellbeyond said:

and kidding around.

LaVisHh said:

LoL...Oh, I know 90% of what we're talkin' about on these two threads is just jokin', Lav... I just meant in general we should be caring more about what's "wrong" in ourselves than what's "wrong" in others...(lord knows I am guilty of doing just the opposite... )...

wellbeyond said:

I agree. Hypocracy is hard to recognise in ourselves.

LaVisHh said:

LoL...so stinkin' true...lol...It's amazingly easy to rationalize away our own faults, ain't it??..

wellbeyond said:

Most definately. Funny thing is...if you look at most of what we say and do to each other, each action or thought can typically be reversed. That's why I started to copy and paste the points made here on this thread, changed the gender, and viola!

LaVisHh said:

All except for the "peein' on the toilet seat" one, I see...lol

Let me amend my lists by saying that obviously all women don't do the things I mentioned, and thank God for them!

wellbeyond said:

I guess there are very few women who want to be happy then! That makes them all the more special, though.

Moonbeam said:

That's probably truer than you realize, amigo...or rather, that maybe there are very few women who know what it takes to be happy...maybe that's a better way of phrasing it...

wellbeyond said:

Can't love somebody who doesn't want to be loved, I suppose.

Moonbeam said:

Well...you can love whoever you desire... ...The love may not be returned, but that doesn't necessarily stop you from loving them just the same...

wellbeyond said:

Indeed. You said it better! I've been in that boat a lot!

Moonbeam said:

I think we all have experienced that boat ride to one extent or another...

Moonbeam you have so much love, you never have to worry!

wellbeyond said:

And even though we are all in that boat sometime, together perhaps, it's one hell of a lonely ride!

sag10 said:

Thanks! Diva gives me reason to never worry again.

sag10 said:

Listen to the woman, Moonbeam...she knows her stuff!!...

Moonbeam said:

Yes, she is a gem!
