I see them as 100% equal (but then again that's the way I think it should be for men, women, gay, straight, black, white, etc). I think they should get equal pay and everything else that men get. And I have always encouraged women to be sexually confident and have sex as much or little as they desire (yes, even for the ones I'm not in to). Fuck that old 1960's BS about "why can men sleep around and be cool but if a girl does it she's a slut". If you want to have a 1 night stand...do it. If you want to save yourself for marriage...do it. And to be honest, the majority of those that I hear putting down sexually confident women are other women, not other men. The problem though is that a lot of them want selective equality. -"I want equal pay but I won't dare pay for a date and women should never have to pay a cover charge" (I'm a bouncer at a club and always hear women complain about this) -"It's not that serious if a woman hits a man out of anger" -"I would never approach a guy because I'm scared of rejection, but I have no problem rejecting guys and being mean about it" Equality is about taking the good with the bad. Let gays marry. They're entitled to the same joy and misery as straight couples.

How do you look at women? What do you think of them?

I feel sorry for a lot them.

I see so many who believe in fairytales and put themselves through the wringer to land or hang onto a man (or woman, for that matter). Getting up every morning and painting their faces...wearing uncomfortable clothes and shoes...shaving, waxing or electrolysizing this or that...starving themselves...devoting time they'd rather spend elsewhere to exercise they're only doing to make/keep themselves attractive...plastic surgery....the list goes on and on.

Sex & the City is not fun and empowering; it's poison. As are most rom-coms, magazines and pop music. They all push the notion that the be-all-and-end-all of life is a significant-other, as if that's the key to happiness.

This isn't to say that men don't have their version of this stuff - far from it - but you asked about women. I generally prefer them to dudes, but I see both genders as being mostly unenlightened.

...I should clarify that, when I see a skinny chick wearing the right uncomfortable clothes, who's painted her face in just the right way, I get a tingle in my special places and imagine having sexual relations with her (unless she's a good friend, in which case that thought is unappealing). Then I think of all the strings attached and the likely eventual outcome and I go on my merry way.

My friend...I thank you for your opinion. I agree with everything in this post.

Wow...I'm amazed at these posts....Thank you guys. Some faith restored in MANkind.

Mostly with admiration.

Unless they're tragicly trashy or get on my fuckin nerves.

Women is GOD's greatest creation. Their beautiful, strong, (Harriet Tubman, Rosa parks, Coretta Scott King, etc.) They work 9 to 5, & take care of the home. They Risk their lives in childbirth. A good woman is the strenth a man needs to get over life's hurdles. Yes! Most women are messed up in the mind. Hell society itself is fucked up! Maybe women would'nt have mental issues if men would stand up and be men.

If you see two woman talking to each other, you can bet they are most likely putting down another woman. I swear to god, girls are so mean to other girls.

or maybe we're discussing quantum physics -?

or how relevant Flash will be in the world of HTML 5 -?

or the possibility of a multiverse -?

or whether or not God/gods exist -?

or how hot Fast & Furious 5 will be in April 2011 b/c it's got both Vin Diesel and The Rock in it -?

yes!!!! this is my Big Life Peeve. the years i've spent fighting against the bullshit, the stereotypical CRAP that society deepthroats into its female populace. (and yes, at this point it is clear that i will be long dead before this situation ever changes significantly)

and even more infuriating, imo, is the way that even some WOMEN buy into this form of grisly ritual self sacrifice (see, anorexia, bulimia, plastic surgery, etc.), and even perpetuate the mindset that goes along with it through their actions and contributions to the world at large....

my niece just turned 13. she's drop dead gorgeous. i can only pray and pray that, in an effort to fit in with the general herd, she doesn't dumb herself down and succumb to the brainless mindset that causes women to tie their own damn selves to the tracks....

Quagmire, is that you?

Giggity giggity, giggity goo!

The beauty of a woman is not in

the clothes she wears,

the figure she carries,

or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman

must be seen from her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart,

the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman

is not in a facial mole,

but true beauty in a woman

is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

the beauty of a woman

with passing years—only grows.

An excerpt from a very beautiful poem..

I put this in the wrong thread before.

Why do I feel like I said just about the same thing as some of these other posts, but with different words, and was totally misunderstood. I need to create a Cerebus decoding guide or somethin'.

this part is actually a bit sad if I understand you correctly. I know this is true for most people (I think the same of many cute women I see on the street), but I get the feeling you have given up on relatinoships altogether. Maybe I'm wrong about that?

First thing I look at is her smile, eyes, face, hands ass ... If she's got a nice ass, THEN I'll try to look at her afce and anything else.. May sound creepy but I do it really discreetly, you'll never find me staring drooling with round eyes at a woman. If she smiles at me, I smile back.

Another thing I love to do, is being 'indifferently' seductive... You know that Chris Rock sketch where he says "everytime a man offer a woman a service, he's basically saying 'How about some dick?"..

Well I try to avoy that cliché... I may open the door to a complete unknown woman, help her carry carry her luggage, give her direction and just walk away without being another moron harassing her for her phoen number... And it makes me happy...

I just love a woman's ass (those spanish guitar/cola bottle shaped ladies... hmmm:-P )and complete beautiful strangers.

I don't mean to speak for him, but I believe the answer is yes. He's mentioned it several times before. I'm riding that bus with him.

Saying I've "given up" kinda makes it sound like I'm bitter about past experiences. I'm not. I just realized that I'm way happier free and that the negatives of relationships far outweigh the positives, in my opinion. I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

Like I always say, if it happens, it happens. I'm not out leading a charge against relationships. But I have absolutely ZERO desire to give into the societal pressures that say it's what I'm "supposed to be doing".

I've also found (after many years of solid, long-term relationships) that I am actually happier being my own person. Some people need the companionship (co-dependency?) they feel while in a relationship - I don't. I love the freedom of being able to do anything I want, anytime I want.

Then there's the drama involved with finding, building and maintaining a relationship. The desire to "go there" is long gone from the list of things I'm interested in. At this point, I'm not going to change, and it's very doubtful that I'll compromise. I'm almost forty now and I finally know myself. I'm incredibly happy with the person I discovered underneath all that other nonsense.

Lastly, I don't crave sex anymore. I've been there, and it was great! But it's no longer a priority for me. I get all the intimacy I need from my close friends. People I've known and trusted for years. People who accept me exactly as I am. Longwinded (apologies), but for me, there it is.
