Wolf18 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 oMgZ so much BITTERNESS and MAN-HATRED in this thread. Imagine if it was a woman wanting a rich guy, or tall guy, or any equivalent to a young woman's desirability to men, then any man who even raises a peep in protest would get the hens pecking at him and be reported 500 times to the admins. This guy is shallow and silly, I'll admit it. But just because women are just as bad and never called out on it, I will say he has every right to feel this way and wish him luck in banging some 18-19 year olds
Author tradewinds Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Duckrepair - This little box fills up. When I posted it (the post to you) I saw I left out a word. I also forgot to reply about your comment "And as far as your last post, about you're so "adamantly trying to keep it a friendship" conflicts with the first post since you're trying to extract feelings from this girl." so let me take care of that here now. How long ago was my first post? Do you think I might have posted it about the time I received it? Do you think I might have wanted to know if it was just my interpretation seen the way I wanted to see it? You know as middle-aged man going through his tragic mid-life crisis, as people like to insinuate? Do you think we might have talked after that? Have you ever had a good idea in your head, a fantasy, that doesn’t look so good on paper? Have you ever been infatuated with someone? People often create a fantasy of a person, who they want that person to be. Tragically, most people cannot live up to that fantasy person. Some people need hope, because unlike you, they don’t have the opportunities we have in America. Here in Afghanistan (ok lets clear this up before you jump to conclusions –she’s not from Afghanistan) for example, women are second class. Their husbands can discipline them however they want. He can even kill her if he thinks she is being disloyal (notice I didn’t say unfaithful or “is”, I said “thinks”). This girl who I am talking about found a connection with someone. I can sympathize with her pain because I have been all over the world and experienced many cultures. I see repression everywhere. I was able to comfort her and talk about her culture because I know it. In doing so, I became connected with her in a way that I wasn’t aware of at the time. Yes, I fantasized about rescuing her. However, once we were able to talk about “reality” we decided that it is best to not pursue any romance. Like I mentioned before, she doesn’t need to be co-dependent and neither do I. She has told me that if this friendship jeopardizes my marital status in any way, she will say goodbye. That is on me to decide. So why am I defensive, because as you read above, I know these cultures. My heart goes out to these people. There’s a reason why I wanted to stick to the questions I posed. People make character accusations based off of media and U.S. standards. A lot of these people grow up in communities that still value honor, respect and integrity (something not as important in America anymore). How do you like being stereotyped? It is not fair, so yes I get offended. I also get offended when someone attacks my character, my motives, and my integrity. I put my life on the line for American freedom and the freedom of others who cannot free themselves. I believe in what I am doing. It is not a job, it is a life calling. It doesn’t matter if I’m protecting someone with weapons or words; it is what I was born to do. If I get suckered along the way, then that’s something I can except because I might actually save someone’s life in the process. So did I explain it (why I am defensive) well enough or do you need pictures!
Author tradewinds Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Wolf18 - Calling me shallow and silly! I hope you read my reply above. The shallow and silly ones are the ones here who fake their existence. Those who do nothing with their lives but sit back and arm-chair quarterback. I actually leave the comforts of home to protect your right to be a jerk! I volunteer everywhere I go to help those in the country I am in who are less fortunate than you. I have seen women beaten and couldn't do anything because it is their law. I have no desire to bang anyone (besides it is against General Order 1 in the military) of any age at this point. The only banging I do is with a gun. So either pick up a weapon and take my spot or shut up!
