Author ConfusedAsUsual Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 ^Figures. Guessing you're pretty young. do you know how to quote? Pretty young? why because I disagree?
Cracker Jack Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 No need to waste time quoting when the post is right above me. And no, it was in regards to the constant "lol" and use of smiley faces. I dunno. Just screams "teen" to me.

Cracker Jack Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Well, if someone read all of your posts towards men, they'd favor that notion more times than not.
Author ConfusedAsUsual Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 Well, if someone read all of your posts towards men, they'd favor that notion more times than not. I'm just honest and outspoken. I don't sugarcoat. Some people can't handle it.
Cracker Jack Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 That's fine. Wouldn't hurt you to be a bit fair, would it? You got pretty feet?
SpanksTheMonkey Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Women are just as shallow we just usually hide it better and are kinder about it men will be blunt come out and say "I don't want her because shes fat" Women will dance around the subject more so as not to hurt the guys feelings as much I think thats the main difference.. Ps the car thing cracked me up neither me or my partner have a car and we do just dandy...

I still disagree with the women being shallow the same but yes you have a great point about us being kinder and quieter about it.
Outshined Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 To make such a bold claim that any one gender is any more or less shallow than the other is ridiculous, it's impossible to truly be able to prove that every single man or female is shallow.. There is shallow and down to earth from both genders.. No more, no less. Honestly, you seem to be bitter about the opposite sex.. Your username is all too revealing. Bitter biases are never honest.

I'm very honest. Don't deny being a little bitter.
Outshined Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I'm very honest. Don't deny being a little bitter. Well, you may be honest about your sincerity, but I think your judgement is a bit too clouded to be truthful, 'specially when you're trying to generalize a whole gender. That's a LOT of people we're talking about..

mr.dream merchant Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I do believe both genders are shallow. Never got to witness the female's side of it until I started working out alot and become physically attractive. Then the green lights came out to play :S
tami-chan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I'm very honest. Don't deny being a little bitter. Ahh...that explains some of it... Well, OP, some men who are not whom you would refer to as handsome-exude confidence-they believe that while they are not 10s, they have something more valuable to offer (whatever that is) and truly believe that anybody who would choose to be with them will be lucky. Confidence is attractive.

Outshined Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I really do believe men are more into looks than women are. Eh, can't say for sure. There obviously has to be a balance, two people need to find attractive qualities in each other - a blend of personality compatibility, attraction, intellect, whatever. I could go ahead and say that women are more into status and money than men are just to be an ass, but I know that's not always true. So you can believe whatever, I just think you're not going to find the kind of guy you want with such a negative attitude towards men in general.
tami-chan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I mean if they have NOTHING valuable to offer and have unrealistic expectations. "nothing to offer" is YOUR take. Obviously, that kind of man, believes otherwise. Is it your responsibility to make him see/realize that he has NOTHING to offer? I, for one, would not even bother. Why waste my time?
SpanksTheMonkey Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I really do believe men are more into looks than women are. You may be right but then again women may be more into other superficial things like how much money he makes hes education level if he has a car/job if he lives at home. Have you ever seen some of the threads were loveshackers are asked their dating preferences? Some of the womens lists are 20 plus strong items I suggest you look thu loveshack for a thread like that..
Enchanted Girl Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) People make these kinds of threads when they are feeling insecure. You know you're not perfect and it hurts to hear men expect you to be when you want to be accepted by them. Just know that the men who say that are bad people (and that it's not all men who say these things) and if you don't live up to their stupid standards, it's actually a blessing, not a curse because you won't ever accidentally find yourself wasting time with them. Your "imperfections" actually weed the awful men out, they don't bother to waste their time with you, and that's good because they are no good. At least, this is how I view things, maybe I've totally misunderstood you. And while those guys seem to have all the power because they are so demanding and good at making you feel bad about yourself, they actually don't. Those attractive women that they demand to have probably have high standards themselves and are disgusted by them and that's why they come on here ranting all day because they're alone and they're never going to get past that because they can't mature. Just don't fall under the misconception that it's all men because it definitely isn't and don't judge all men based on internet forums. It's easier for the ******* in all of us to come out on this place. Also, realize that the most annoying voices are usually the loudest ones, so we get this false impression that the world is full of jerks. Edited August 11, 2010 by Enchanted Girl
callingyouuu Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 In my experience it is MOSTLY a man thing. I don't mean to be rude, but.... hahahahahahahaha. We must be living in two completely different worlds! People make these kinds of threads when they are feeling insecure. You know you're not perfect and it hurts to hear men expect you to be when you want to be accepted by them. Couldn't have said it better myself. I also have a suspicion that people, both men and women, with "unrealistic" standards are also insecure. They lower their dating pool to the most attractive people above their league because of a fear of rejection. They justify their lack of dating prospects by just saying they haven't asked anyone out because no one is good enough for them, when in reality, they just aren't good enough for anyone in their dating pool. Again, that's just a theory.
AmEricanWomann Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I used to be overweight. When I was fat, I fantasized and desired the type of men that I found attractive. However, I didn't think that I deserved them or that I was entitled to them. I knew that I didn't have what they desired. Men, however seem to think that they are entitled to whatever type of woman they want, even if they are unattractive themselves. They imagine themselves as great guys and become very bitter when the hot women they fantasize about dare to reject them. I think that's the difference between men and women. Sure, both genders might desire certain traits in the other, but it seems that more men think that they "deserve" to get what they want from women, regardless of what they have to offer a woman. What really gets me is I have lost weight and take care of myself, thus rendering me "acceptable" to men. Now those same men that wouldn't have looked twice at me on the street three years ago except maybe to laugh at me, now think that I owe it to them to give them a chance and that if I reject them, I'm somehow "shallow."
jamesum Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Lol, I was used to the angry frustrated men swarming this forum in the past but whats with the recent surge of angry frustrated women?!? :laugh:

I find it really entertaining, actually. If things seem too out of the ordinary, I pretty much just switch "men" and "women" in their posts and add a pinch of angrier language, and you return to the LS status quo.

Very true. Men are this way because they are competitive. They have to have a pretty girlfriend and a decent car to keep up with the others. I listen to my male friends sometimes compering notes and I feel sorry for them.
