joystickd Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I know there is something men/women do that other men/women wonder about.
Els Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I assume we're not allowed to implicate the opposite gender at all here (ie 'women who put up with jerks' or 'men who put up with gold diggers') That being said, probably women who feel the need to create drama about every damn thing and interpret it every damn way. I know we're all human, we've all been guilty of that once in a while, but I swear it seems like some girls don't even TRY to curtail that impulse. Oh, and women who obsess about their appearance like it's all they have and need to attract a guy, and then complain that men are only interested in such. You throw out a certain type of bait, you get a certain type of fish. No sympathy there. Edited April 26, 2012 by Elswyth
zengirl Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Like Elswyth, I wonder about women who emphasize their looks and then complain that all men care about are their looks. Sometimes I think they really don't get it, but sometimes I think they're in on the cycle. Probably depends on the woman.
persevere Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I wonder what other men do that attract women I've liked, where they blew me off. I consider myself a nice, honest man. Only to see some women go after jerks. I've thought about how to tone my genuineness down to be more attractive, but just can't.

Nice and honest are not really things that will initially create feelings in a woman to be interested in you. The "jerks" understand this

I was just responding to him that's all. My only thing is the guys that whine about not getting a date. They want you to not give them advice but give them a play by play of what to say to meet women.
Emilia Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Like Elswyth, I wonder about women who emphasize their looks and then complain that all men care about are their looks. Sometimes I think they really don't get it, but sometimes I think they're in on the cycle. Probably depends on the woman. Not very charitable but personally I think those women are too stupid. Men have the tendency to recognise quality and if it's packaged nicely they will be extremely grateful. They don't want to dump someone like that. Some girls (some men too!) only have looks to offer.
Author joystickd Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 The friends first guys and the guys that are scared sh*tless to be honest with women about what they want
maysj18 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Women who have no backbone and therefore need a man to feel valued. For example, two of my friends are being cheated on OPENLY, but theyre so damn needy and "fragile", they forgive them every time. Idiots. 2
january2011 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Women who have no gumption, who play the best friend when they should be playing the lead actress in their own lives.
xxoo Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have an issue with women who "hint" instead of just saying what they want.
Author joystickd Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 I notice women have more to say about their own gender than men 2
mesmerized Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Women who have no backbone and therefore need a man to feel valued. For example, two of my friends are being cheated on OPENLY, but theyre so damn needy and "fragile", they forgive them every time. Idiots. Same. Women who always need to have a boyfriend annoy me. And women who lie to themselves about what they actually want.

Men have the tendency to recognise quality and if it's packaged nicely they will be extremely grateful. They don't want to dump someone like that. Some girls (some men too!) only have looks to offer. I think this is sometimes the case, but sometimes they are smart girls (you know, in other parts of their lives) -- just a bit superficial in their standards for themselves (not even always for their partners, though often that as well) and fixated on presenting their looks as a benefit. There ARE some who only have looks to offer, but some of the women who engage in what I'm talking about --- highlighting their looks, attracting someone with those looks, and then complaining the person only likes them for their looks --- are smart women who do have other things going on. Sometimes they're even valued for other reasons and the man doesn't leave, but they just seem to want the man to value something in them that they, themselves, don't value. I guess it comes down to wanting to be validated by a partner in those cases.
serial muse Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I find it frustrating when I see women who downplay their strengths and interests, and choose to become passive and take a supporting role in their own lives. Agreed, women are pathetic creatures with no self worth or backbone. Thanks for your insight, but let's hear you talk about your own gender. That's the topic of the thread. 1
Woggle Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Men who can't appreciate a woman who doesn't want him for his money. I am against gold diggers like everybody else but some men gravitate towards them.

I am against gold diggers like everybody else but some men gravitate towards them. A lot of supposedly golddigger haters will trade youth for money in a second. A lot of men have no issue whatsoever to get girls because of their money when they're old and unattractive. I've had messages from old men online that they would take me shopping if I date them
Woggle Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I also have an issue with men who feel the need to apologize for the sins of other men. Stop feeling the need to atone for things you never done to a woman. Being proud of manhood does not mean that a man hates women. 2

Stop feeling the need to atone for things you never done to a woman. Being proud of manhood does not mean that a man hates women. Have to say that annoys me. My sister's boyfriend used to do that but he has stopped now thank god.
zengirl Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Oh, also: Women in my mother's generation who often say things like, "ladylike" bother me. That word is heard a lot in the South and always gets my hackles up. As though some behaviors are womanly and others are not. Femininity takes many forms.

I say 5% of the golddiggers are true golddiggers most are just jokes.
ditzchic Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I have an issue with girls that chronically friendzone guys that are obviously into them. Why the need for all the orbiters and leading people on? Just say no and move on and let the guy move on with his life.
quankanne Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 it chapped my hide in college 20 years ago, and still chaps my hide now: those women who use their looks to draw men to them, men who they treat like crap before dumping them. While the average Jane, who has a healthier outlook on M-W relationship, gets passed over for these harpies. <insert rant: Men, y'all really are idiots sometimes, going for that bright and shiny object rather than looking for something of true worth! <end rant>

I didn't feel angry, though, but rather sorry for the men. They made their own beds, and had to lie in them afterwards. On the other hand, the men who were able to look at women as people with multiple aspects, generally got to enjoy fulfilling and good relationships. Win/win, IMO.
