Trimmer Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Heh heh... if you're gonna troll, at least make it something clever and amusing... If you don't have anything to say except that then don't post. OK, let me be more specific and spell it out for you then: your post that I was responding to was so extreme as to be ridiculous, so it came off as just intentionally stirring the pot to get a reaction: Which is strange since it's usually the man who put's in all the effort into the relationship and initiates everything. It's pretty much the guy who makes the whole relationship work. If this is really how you see the relationships everywhere around you through whatever filters you perceive them, then I think you need to take Taramere's and flying's more gently-delivered advice and revisit your fundamental assumptions about how relationships "usually" work. If this is your direct, personal experience with relationships, then you need to branch out and figure out how you can broaden your exposure to other types of women who don't fit the mold you are expecting them to fit into (has it become a self-fulfilling prophecy?) And if this expectation has come mostly from reading LoveShack - which is perhaps the best likelihood, considering the context of your opening post and the subject line - then you need to understand that the population of posters on here is a self-selected group, distorted by the very purpose of this site. So from reading here, you can draw conclusions about how some unusual relationships work, but you can't draw any useful conclusions about how common those unusual relationships are in your city, your state, your province, your canton, your country, etc. And no I'm not a troll I didn't say you were a troll (noun) I suggested you were trolling (verb) -subtle difference.. But just in case you weren't, I've explained above. I could care less if you don't think it's clever or amusing. Good, that's a good LS survival instinct.
Awesome Username Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I haven't seen many threads where women are talking about what men should do with regard to initiating relationships. To me, the discussion here is a bit more thoughtful than people spouting a lot of generalisations from the 1950s and earlier. Not to say there aren't posts like that. You may well be right, and it could be that I just skim over those particular posts. If the notion of women expecting men to chase them is one that you find particularly irritating, then it could be that you'll tend to zoom in on posts like that where another person might feel indifferent to them and therefore not really notice them. I totally agree with this. Location, location location! I am from a town where there are about 3.5 women to every man. When I moved to a male dominated city my attractive scale went up. Why? Less ladies to gawk at!
