I think I figured out women

So, um, let me get this straight. It's PERFECTLY okay for you, as a guy, to look another woman up and down like a piece of meat, but an "I'd hit that," about a movie star, from your girlfriend is absolutely unacceptable. Riiiight. Men are incredibly logical beings. I am almost blown away by the perfect logic of the situation. Once again, I shall refer you back to my distaste for hypocrisy.

Why does being emotional=being illogical? Emotions are part of being human; logic is not cold, logic is not infallible. What is wrong with allowing emotions to color our interactions with other people? What, pray tell, is wrong with doing what "feels" right versus what is defined by society as right? What's wrong with helping someone, or doing the emotionally correct thing, and providing the best outcome for everyone, whereas the stereotypical "male" way of doing things is purely black and white? There's one winner and everyone else loses, versus a compromise where everyone wins a little and everyone loses a little. It keeps things moderate. Everything in society has nuances and tiny facets, and no two situations are the same. Perhaps men would do well to take less of an absolutist approach to life. I am an extremely logical person, but I do not let logic, and the theory that everything in the world is equal to the sum of its parts, rule me. The world is so much more than that.


Guys, imho, are not simple. More straightforward, yes, but they're also human beings. They have thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc, etc... that alone makes them complicated. They are socialized to be "sex, food, beer" beings, whereas women are taught from a young age to be "nice." Men are taught to never show emotion, but even more importantly, they're taught that it's absolutely okay to show aggression. Girls aren't allowed that same luxury. Being a nice girl entails never raising your voice, never fighting, never being promiscuous, never flaunting your intelligence, etc. This leads to women having to find more subtle ways of expressing their anger and jealousy at fellow women. You can't be a nice girl if you just told off a girl to her face; it's much easier to spread a rumor about how much of a slut she is. You can either conform to these prescribed roles, or you can choose not to. If you take into account the fact that women are shoved into a society where they HAVE to be sneaky to preserve their image and still make it to the top, it's easy to see why they look for hidden meaning in your words.

I defy these stereotypes. So there.

Hahahah I had a ball reading this thread. My opinion...


Men see it their way, women see it theirs. While I have been party to the whole 5 minute rant about how f**kable ______ actor/singer/athlete is, I have also seen guys do the same thing. Admit it girls, you have met that girl who is totally psychotic and follows no logical path in life, whereas the guys have all met that total jerk who only cares about getting into girls' pants. We all have also met the good ones. Unfortunately, stereotypes seem to portray the negative qualities in a given group. We would all love to believe that we're somehow better than the stereotype, but how do we know? My judgement: You're all nuts, and you shouldn't be judging someone else who has posted, you don't know them or how they act. This thread started off as as an offbeat, supposed-to-be-fun discussion, descended into a PBnation-like flamefest, and recently has gotten a bit back to the irrelevant and fun side. Let's keep it that way lest the thread be closed, and everyone who was acting six years old about a page ago, take it easy. We're all here because we enjoy it.
