Are there really people like that?? *boggle*
I refuse to beleive a woman armed with a garden rake is that niave! Stop pulling my leg, it will get dislocated!

Actually, I was serious. I've never met anyone like that. These women sound like sociopaths ... 8O


RSG, having spent many years in OKC, I know where to look. Go have lunch at 50 Penn Place or do your shopping at the Crecent Market in Nichols Hills. My ex's family were all really good a pissing their husband's money away on the most trivial crap.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', 'J')ason, you must be very young.



30, but that would depend on your age in comparison.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', 'F')irst off, that's not even a human face that you've posted there.



uhm ya kind of figured that one out, but hey thanks for the pointer.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', 'b')lah blah blah... women suffer to look good for men. blah blah blah



Yea, we get it... you are a lesbian

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', 'b')ut then they want a woman who's all tarted up in torturous high heels and a tight dress, wearing make-up that has its origins in ancient Egypt, where women applied paint on their eyes, eyelids, cheeks and lips to emulate a post-orgasmic flush.



No guys want this, this is what women wear to impress other women. We want our women wearing nothing but a big ass smile, or wearing a cut of shirt that shows a lot of under boob (Sexy)


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hope_full', '

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jasonraymondson', 'h')aha, but seriously:
1) you know what I look like
2) Whether you like it or not, the ladder system is the truth.
3) The only people who claim the other, are either not realists, or they are butt ugly
4) When you first meet someone, the first thing that goes through you head is not (Wow, what a great personality)
While this is not fair, and life would be so much better if people were judged based on the their intellectual acumen, and giant heart. This is not the case, this will never be the case.
We are visual animals.

1) No, I don't know what you look like.
2) I am not familiar with the ladder system. Give me a little time to look it up.
3) Too simplified. Also, I think men are based more on visual than women are. From one woman's point of view: There are some very sexy men on this forum (who have brains & use them), and there are some men on this forum that I would not care if they were considered the most perfect-looking specimen of the male gender-- I don't like them, and would not want to associate (in real life) with them at all, ever, for any reason.
4) Oh, yes it is. If I wanted something to look at 24/7, I would get a poster. After the first few sentences, (based on My preferences) I already know if I want to know them any better.
I don't think that I am too odd; I have known other people who think in a similar fashion. :)
PS: Sorry I teased you--but, I just couldn't resist! :)

You can be bitter or morally indignant all you want, but in the end you can't shame or reason someone into changing their taste in the opposite sex. There is nothing democratic or egalitarian about dating nor should there be. I don't want to feel compelled to date someone that doesn't turn me on and I don't expect women to lower their standards on my behalf either. Who wants to be the other person's charity case?

How visual a woman is depends on whether they're ovulating or not.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'Y')ou can be bitter or morally indignant all you want,

Is this statement to me? For I am neither bitter or morally indignant; I was stating my personal view in response to another view that was presented. How anyone else decides on their temporary or permanent mate is a decision that they, alone, must make, IMO. If they chose wisely, they should be pleased and enjoy the success. Should they chose unwisely, well, they are the ones who must deal with the consequences.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'b')ut in the end you can't shame or reason someone into changing their taste in the opposite sex. There is nothing democratic or egalitarian about dating nor should there be.

Dating is (or, was) generally considered the socially acceptible way of meeting different people, getting to know them, and using that information to determine whether or not they would be suitable companions.

You have decided on certain standards in regards to interacting with others. I have decided my own standards. Others have their own standards. Each person must decide on their own.
Being someone's charity case would be awful!

Just out of curiousity, are the standards you have set for yourself the same as you have set (as a parent) for your child? (If I am being too personal, you do not need to respond. :) )

I'm a divorced single father of a young daughter. So I'm at a severe disadvantage there. There is no way in hell I could ever satisfy a woman's laundry list of expectations, so my standards are irrelevant.

Even if I were single without a child, I find it really impossible to muster the initiative to try to "sell" myself to a woman like some kind of product. I am just disgusted with the whole process and am abstaining as much out of protest than anything else. I would think that as men enter middle age they often realize that the EROEI is poor, considering how disposable relationships are these days. In a world of 6.7 billion people the grass is always greener elsewhere.

Jason, are you a misogynist or just someone who likes to act like a misogynist?

The world is full of differing opinions. You should learn how to accept different opinions and respectfully respond to those differing opinions without throwing names and labels around.

First I Look at the Purse

Works both ways I guess.

From The Contours...

Contours 'First I look at the purse' lyrics:

What does every man look at first?

Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes

I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are wrong
Why? 'cause first I look at the purse!

Some fellas look at the smile they wear
Some fellas look at the legs that's all
Some fellas look at the style of their hair
Some fellas want the waist to be small.

I don't care if the teeth are big
I don't care if the legs are thin
I don't care if her hair is a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline?
Why? 'cause first I look at the purse!

A woman can be as fine as can be,
with kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If she ain't got no money
'cause if the purse is fat....that's where it's at.

Some fellas look at the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
and dig the things they say.

But I don't care if she wobbles like a duck
and talks with a lisp
I still think I'm in good luck
if the dollar bills are crisp
Why?..cause first I look at the purse!

First I look at the purse!
Tried to tell you.
yeah yeah yeah
Justice can be sweet as hell
But I want me some money
She can be covered with a rash
Long as she's got some cash.
I want a big size cut
I don't want one suit
Like a Hollywood star.

We have become such a visual culture that almost nothing else matters but looks. 90% of the people who buy and read self-improvement books are women. Most women I know are wearing themselves out, devoting hours each day to eating healthy and exercising well and repeating positive mantras and meditating and constantly striving to better themselves. Beauty and beauty related endeavors take up so much space on their emotional hard drive that there's little room for really important things. Beauty is the new enslavement of women. Keeps us busy and distracted and I believe - keeps many women from realizing their full potential.




Damn straight, hope_full.

This becomes even more difficult and all-encompassing as women age, I believe. We are not allowed to age anymore. I'm waiting for the day when all of the botox-injected, hair-dyed, skinny-jeaned 50-somethings out there permanently leave the boutiques and the plastic surgeons' offices to walk down the street sans makeup, to finally feel the sunshine on their bare faces. This will require bravery (on the part of many women) and will force their significant others to come to terms with what middle age looks like.

You're absolutely correct in saying that many women do not achieve their potential in other aspects of their lives because they put so much effort into their appearance. Everything about the media perpetuates this.

I speak as a long-married woman (30 years next June) whose husband is loving and committed but has no clue about what the average 50-year-old woman would look like without considerable effort and, yes, I am guilty of trying to look younger myself!

You want to stop putting on makeup and let your armpit and leg hair grow in? Feel free, as long as you're content to sit home with a bowl of icecream on Saturday night. Same deal with guys who think they will impress a date talking in his rusted out AMC Gremlin about how he will one day upgrade from fry cook to manager at the local McDonalds. There is really nothing fair or egalitarian about the rules of attraction and anyone who expects otherwise is living in a dreamworld. We're no better than peacocks strutting around trying to impress eachother. It's just that we're saddled with brains that, upon reflection, can understand how patently stupid it all is. Yet we go ahead with it anyway.

Women control everything. They are responsible for all of the advertising dollars that Americans spend every year.

Men do not ask you to doll up the way you do. You are being controlled by magazines, newspapers, and television shows and these in turn are controlled by females.

You need to fix what is wrong with your sex, and stop blaming men for your need to look a certain way. We don't ask you to do anything.

You set the standard for beauty and what men should expect from a woman.

All we want is our barcalounger, the remote control, and occasional attention paid to our penis.

True enough. It's not that I don't want an attractive appearance. It's not about letting everything go. 75-year-olds and up can be beautiful. It's just that everything in our culture is taken to the extreme where appearance is concerned. We should be able to look our age and still be considered attractive. Is that asking too much?

I think that there is a social aspect to the whole attraction thing. People advertise who they are by their clothes and their cars. There are women who are attracted to the Carhartt set, and there are those who love men who wear suits.

I think it's hard to hold a family together who ever you are once the breadwinner loses his/her job. If it happens to me, I don't know if my wife will go with me to the places I may need to go to find work. She doesn't like to travel much. We may just stay here and eke a living.

Thats an interesting point but in cultures where women aren't expected to shave their legs and arms men still find them attractive.

If all women in the west suddenly stopped shaving their legs and armpits 8O men would soon get over it.

Yeah I know it seems horrible to me too.....but we would change.
