In order to keep our men "interested" and not be blamed for their straying - we have to surgically implant parts to our body, bleach, pinch, pull, laser ourselves to be considered "attractive" to men.

I've been informed by a reliable source.

Women dress for the approval and comments of other women.

The men you have met were likely trying to impress you by agreeing with your sentiments about the wastefulness and absurdity of modern beauty. The fact of the matter is that if the alteration (surgery, bleaching, tucking, what-have-you) isn't obvious most men will prefer it. Larger breasts, whiter teeth, silkier hair, absence of body hair, shapelier figure, most men prefer them.
--Justin Frankyl


The key here is the phrase "if it isn't obvious". Larger breasts, whiter teeth, silkier hair, absence of body hair, shapelier figure describe many women under 40. Men definitely prefer women under 40 as sexual partners. And women prefer men under 40. They don't have those splindly little arms and pot bellies and bald heads.

Can we just agree that people are a little more repulsive as they age? Women who try to change that are missing out on one of the great opportunities of their lives--a sex free existence.

Again, it's boo-friggin-hoo for women. I don't get it. Do women think most men are hotly pursued by the opposite sex? Hardly-- most of them lead lives of quiet desperation, where they are rarely approached, or even smiled at, and they have a whole lifetime of it. Women get nailed with the same at menopause---and boo hoo hoo. It huuuuuurrrrrrrttttts.

Those little girls who hate their bodies so much are likely conditioned by their mothers, more than anyone else, including their peers. Do you think their father's obsess about losing weight and spend much of their time shopping for clothes? . If mothers want their daughters to love their bodies, they have to set a good solid example.

It boils down to WEAK WEAK PEOPLE. Fk em. let em die. I like women that want to attract good men. The rest can rot for all I care. Buety in its natural form is what we want. not your competative slut look.

CONTROL. I do not want to control. I want freedom. Free thoughts. Based on the natural laws of this planet. I do not want to blame. I want to recognize limits. Women have limits. men have limits. There are limits on this planet. I as a man have never said your opinions are wrong. I have given massive space for these misguided notions. Yes the shitstem brainwashes. But the ones brainswashed are WEAK. Weak. Strength is when one is swarmed with the machines images and Borg and comes out unscathed and stronger. Aware. The blame and victim thing is part and parcel to the borg. It is a huge part of the consumption urges. and I am thankful I still have the little boy in me. I havent been sodomized and cleansed by the machine and its Borg. Thank u for seeing the little boy in me. I refuse to die. Ill live young and free. Running hills and mts. fresh until the body gives out. the mind will always stay young and charming.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ubercynicmeister', 'T')he truth comes out eventually: it's other women they are "competing" with in terms of making themselves uncomfortable. Men never notice such things as "new handbags, new hairdoes, new shoes" . That's right we don't. How often has such been complained about by women???? Are all these complaints incorrect? No, they are right, I can assure you: I'm male and *I* don't "notice" such things.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ayame', '
')For every thread vilifying men, there are three posted vilifying women, in fact this is the only one I know of started as an outright thread comdemning men. I find it amusing on these forums that if someone makes out men as evil, they are immediately lamblasted and told to 'stop blaming men' whereas in the threads where women are blamed for various things if someone makes a fuss and says to 'stop blaming women' they are the ones that are lamblasted, called immature man-haters, told to get over themselves and stop acting the victim. It appears that there are incredible double standards operating across the board.

You sound like an immature man-hater. You need to get over yourself and stop acting the victim.

Double standards are the sine qua non of feminism.
