mr.dream merchant Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 At my old job, I used to give customers a ride home. Most of the customers were senior citizens, about 60 and up. Being stuck in traffic alot, I'd always make conversation..try to seek wisdom from them. We'd talk, they'd tell me the typical "Stay in school." and what not. But one thing that always, always, always came up was relationships. "Your a handsome young man, I bet you have all the women after you." "My you're handsome and well spoken, do you have a girlfriend?" Etc... I'd always reply no, then brace for them to catch a heart attack (cause people usually trip when they hear the answer!). And you know what they would tell me right after that? "Good. Keep it that way." "Smart man." "Young women these days are trouble." "Women aren't like how they used to be back in my time." "Nowadays these women are crazy, real drama queens." Etc. It was pretty crazy. Older men and women all had the same thing to say about women in my age group (20's) and that, in a nutshell, was "Young women are more trouble than they're worth.". Most of the time, the people telling me this were pretty successful and wealthy. Coincidence?
Woggle Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 A little bit off topic but the times I have held open a door and did heavy lifting or generally did a favor for an elderly woman they express genuine gratitude and thank me for being such a gentlemen. I have even had a woman who I helped load some heavy things in to her car offer to pay me but I refused. When I do these things for a younger woman they act entitled to it like it is their birthright or get insulted if I offer. There is an attitude even though I am taking time out of my day to do them a favor. Of course not in all cases but it is something I have experienced while I have never experienced it with an elderly woman.
snug.bunny Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 The only coicidence I see here, is that you've met a few senior citizens, who share your mentality. The same can be said, for couples who have been married for years, and will say "don't get married". Then you have couples, who have been married for years, and say "I love being married to my husband/wife". Or, you'll hear people say "love sucks", "men suck", "women suck". Sometimes you might here people say "love is great", "I love my boyfriend/girlfriend". "Never have kids", "Have kids, they're great". Bottom line, you'll listen to and agree with those who share a similar view/belief and you'll either adhere to that same view/belief for the majority of your life and live your life accordignly, OR, you'll learn to be flexible in your views/beliefs and be open to different ideas and experiences.

Hey guys i don't know where you people are from (and if that has anything to do with it), but I always hear from older people how incredibly polite I am:cool: I do think that ppl thinking they have a right to certain things and therefor they're not acting thankful anymore is a real big problem. I used to work at a five star hotel and did notice that this behaviour happens more in certain cultures than in others. i hope you wont be swearing off women in general now, cause some of us really try to act ladylike and be sweet:laugh:
Feelin Frisky Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Ya have to give old folk credit just for making it to being old. They are a source of wisdom......but!!! Being old does not cure anyone of stupidity. Just a month ago polls had seniors backing republicans by a wide margin. This month they have to start reconciling with the fact that they have been had and the the republicans don't really have any intention of fulfilling their "socially conservative" agenda issues--they simply want to remove all laws and let people with money duke it out of possession of everything. The Ryan plan provides that evidence in detail. But aside from that and back to the topic I have a lot of experience with elderly folks--elderly folks who wish to leave a legacy. I worked as a freelance journalist in the UN sphere of endeavor in NY where many older folk volunteer their time on various NGO committees. I used to get the same ego strokes and questions about my sex life. There wasn't any warning though on women nowadays. Maybe the ones I knew were just way focused on making their dying days count for something. Most of the time they were deluding themselves as most of those committees simply come out with compromised proposals on bended knee which go to the graveyard of good intentions in the "sarcophagus of political antiquity" that is the UN.
lemonlegs Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Though I agree that lots of women aren't exactly classy, there's lots of scumbag men in the world as well. Also, as a young woman, I know that I'm not perfect, don't think I'd make a good housewife at all, but I also think that I'm a good girl to take home to the parents, for the most part. As are lots of young ladies. Social mores have changed since then as well. As much as I respect the elderly, they probably have differents views and ideas that differ greatly from the younger generation. Just sayin'. Edited May 26, 2011 by lemonlegs
SteveC80 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 You cant fully judge a whole gender but going to Canada for a few months i noticed the difference in your average women there as opposed to here Most women were friendly and approachable even on cold approaches They dont seem ot have the same sense of entitlement and pricness syndrome allot of women have here in the states
guy777 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 The older generations have been saying that about the younger generation for ages. Everyone thinks their generation is the best. Truth is there are good and bad people in every generation.

If I look at American televizion, it often encourages this mindsetting of thinking you should be treated like a princess, even if you don't treat others right (MTV, VH1). Still I think a lot of women all over the world have a really good attitude towards life and towards other ppl, so I dont really think it's a valid statement to make that women these days are so impolite.

Lucky_One Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I totally agree with guy777. Every older generation thinks the younger generations are going to hell in a handbasket. And honestly, if these seniors knew what your attitudes towards women were REALLY like (instead of putting on the oh-so-polite-and-deferential-young-man), they would be equally appalled at young men, with your gangsta thug "tap the ho and ditch her skanky, controlling a$$" attitude.

sanskrit Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 If this ever happens again, you should turn the situation to your advantage and ask to meet their granddaughters. You might find that when meeting higher class women, that 1. They are interesting enough not to bore you once you have had sex, and 2. They have enough going on in their own lives not to try to tie you down or wrangle commitment from you. I have a hunch lots of the problems you post about with women stem from your socializing mostly with hoochies.
Mme. Chaucer Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 . I have a hunch lots of the problems you post about with women stem from your socializing mostly with hoochies. I have a hunch that most of them stem from his socializing with women. Obviously, women and Mr Dream Merchant simply are a poor fit, and I agree with him that he's much better off without any of them at all.

Well that's really insightful, useful advice, and am sure he will take it under serious advisement.

Don't forget they were raised in times when passive aggression was an admired artform rather than a behavioural flaw to be condemned in the strongest terms on Internet message boards. Beneath their coddling and flattery of you, and the apparent enabling of your misogyny, lies a nugget comprised of wisdom, advice and hope which I have emboldened. "Do not reproduce yourself."

"Do not reproduce yourself." But Mr. Dream Merchant, if you do in fact decide to reproduce one day, please, man-kind begs of you, be mindful of the womb your sperm plumb, what egg they despoil, and so deprive the world of one more brood of yapping, noxious harridans and their kin.

I remember you. You're the ex-con who claims to be a lawyer. The one who rightly sneers about other people's petty and pathetic use of the report button during flame wars that they've willingly participated in - but, unfortunately, gets into such an angry tizz when people dish his own sh*t back at him that he can't resist hypocritically punching on the alert button himself.
sanskrit Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 I remember you. You're the ex-con... Ex con? cool! If that were actually the truth, maybe I'd do even better with women! As far as reporting posts goes, check my join date and post count, have reported posts exactly twice in that time, and for very good reasons. But what's that? I've reported .2 % of posts compared to my post count? That's 1/5 of 1% isn't it? What an egregious tattletale I am Keep sputtering and spluttering though, maybe you will eventually hit a nerve.
Kriss Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 OP, those old folks didn't want to offend you when you said you didn't have a gf by saying what they really thought: "A good looking guy like that with no gf? He must be homo."
Author mr.dream merchant Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 They could've thought whatever they want, I always got a fat tip after dropping them off. :/
threebyfate Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Merchant, what are you selling on LS? Thread after thread about how great you are, how much of a lady killer, what a jerk you are with women and how little you respect them. It sincerely makes me wonder if you're really getting any, at all. Otherwise, why so much bitterness and need to bite the hands that wank you off?
Feelsgoodman Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Truth be told women aren't any worse today than they were yesteryear. They have always been this bad. Most men would disagree.

I could ask you why you think I'm making all of this up. :/ I have no reason to lie to completely anonymous strangers. Most people in my life have no clue or knowledge of the stuff you guys do. My sexploits, my views, etc. I thought you would have at least appreciated that.
