ThaWholigan Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Any bets on how long it will take for a Bitter Brigade member to take offense at your post? I wouldn't put jobaba in that group btw.
FitChick Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Most women will marry any guy just to be married, regardless of appearance. They marry blind men, men missing limbs, even Stephen Hawking has been married twice and he is just a head. I seldom see the men with similar women so it seems to prove the point that men are more concerned about a woman's appearance. 1
Author jobaba Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 I'm sure you're right. But I don't care because I'm not interested in men. It's hard for me to believe that reading all of the stuff about women absolutely needing attraction and passion and spark and my own experiences, that more than 1 out of 1000 women would stay beside her man through this ordeal. Myself, I'm very practical and logical when it comes to what I look for in a mate and looks has never been a big decider for me, so there's a chance I would stay. But I'll honest, it'd be a little tough. I've mentally begun referring to the majority of male posters here as the Bitter Brigade. Not ALL, but the majority. Someone posts a video of a woman whose 110% loyal to the man she loves, even in the face of horrible adversity. Instead of simply taking it at face value - for the uplifting human interest story that it IS - it's instead used as yet another venue to denigrate women by the card carrying men of the Bitter Brigade who use their own personal experiences as a brush to paint an ENTIRE gender. Damn, it gets so friggen old. I might be bitter, but I'm not a misogynist. I recognize men are just as shallow ... pretty much at least. Although it may not come off like it, that's exactly why I brought up the vid, to show how cool it is. I mean, most people don't even come close to that level of non-shallowness. I even said I'm not sure if I'd stay.
gaius Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I wonder if they still have a sex life at all? Staying married to him is one thing, but letting him climb on top of you....... 1
Woggle Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I am not bitter but I just don't believe many of the responses here. I would't believe it if they came from men.
wwwjd Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 hmmmm..... with ALL THIS COMMITMENT strewn about here, would someone care to explain the above fifty percent divorce rate going on? SOMEONE is not being truthful with themselves. Yet again.
Els Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 The funny thing with 50 percent is that the other half of the equation is also... 50 percent. Last I checked, 50 percent isn't some incredibly rare statistic that you'd almost never encounter. More than 50% of Americans are apparently overweight, but I don't see why y'all aren't shocked and disbelieving when you see someone who isn't. Do you think the people who aren't might be lying to your eyes? 1
Woggle Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Half of marriages end in divorce and half of the people who stay together are probably miserable so that leaves about 25% that are actually happy. That is not a good record.
Els Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 so that leaves about 25% that are actually happy. And this is YOUR perception, correct? You can disbelieve all you want, but, as others have said, a trip to the hospital may do you some good. Stop painting everyone with the same brush. 1
Woggle Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 And this is YOUR perception, correct? You can disbelieve all you want, but, as others have said, a trip to the hospital may do you some good. Stop painting everyone with the same brush. Look at all the married couples that are cheating on each other, not having sex, always seem angry with the other and act like they can barely stand the sight of each other when out. Just look at the couples whenever you are out.

Just look at the couples whenever you are out. If some people are a reflection of all people, then looking at you, Woggle, I should probably believe that all men are incredibly bitter individuals who are unable to believe in the good of humanity or the possibility of good relationships existing despite having a wonderful wife. But that isn't what I believe. 2
LittleTiger Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Look at all the married couples that are cheating on each other, not having sex, always seem angry with the other and act like they can barely stand the sight of each other when out. Just look at the couples whenever you are out. Look at all the married couples (or even not-married) who are NOT cheating on each other, having great sex, always seem happy with the other and act like they love each other to bits. Just look at the couples whenever you are on LS! (Since this is one of the places you like to pick up your 'evidence'!) xxoo donnamaybe stung CE and Pyro quankanne sb129 CarrieT Elswyth Me and my Kiwi guy You and your wife? (Lots of others that I can't think of right now) Nobody lives in la-la land or pretends that relationships are a bed of roses but there are plenty of people on LS alone who appear to have, for the most part, good, solid relationships built on love, honesty and loyalty. It is those qualities which keep people together - not continued good looks or permanent good health. 3
sally4sara Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I wonder if they still have a sex life at all? Staying married to him is one thing, but letting him climb on top of you....... Thats what I was wondering too. Still enjoy each others company and place importance on each other? Yeah I could see it totally. Still having sex? I highly doubt it. One, its apparently genetic and two, I'm betting its easy to injure his skin.
AlexDP Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 If I truly loved a man, I would never think twice about sticking by him through something like that, or any other kind of disfigurement. A woman that would leave you trough something like that never truly cared about you anyway. I've heard a lot of women say that, because that's how they feel when their man is still attractive. When isn't anymore, they usually leave. My experience with them has taught me men are far more loyal than women. I'm not even saying it's a bad or a good thing, just that women are not particularly loyal. Of course this is speaking in general. You might be loyal, although you in particular I would never trust .
xxoo Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I wonder if they still have a sex life at all? It said that the tumors began appearing soon after marriage, and they have 3 children, so sex and tumors apparently coexisted at some point. It sounds like it was a progressive disease. Another inspiring story, from the US! THis woman has stayed married to a man without a face.
Pyro Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Look at all the married couples that are cheating on each other, not having sex, always seem angry with the other and act like they can barely stand the sight of each other when out. Just look at the couples whenever you are out. because when we are out we are suppose to see all of that?

Emilia Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I wouldn't put jobaba in that group btw. I do. A lot of his posts are about how shallow women are or about how HE isn't so shallow (not true of course).
Emilia Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I'm sure you're right. But I don't care because I'm not interested in men. No you don't care because you wanted another opportunity to bash women
Thierro Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 I've seen perfectly ok looking women date low-income, non religious men with extreme deformities. We always try to find a reason for it: Money, she’s crazy, religious believes. “Love” couldn’t possibly be it. Don’t believe all the crap you watch on TV or read on sites like LS. Your view of things can be seriously altered in a very negative way that most of you will echo throughout life as the truth. Some people will believe you, people get "infected" by it and spread it around. You'll eventually create your own fears.
HeavenOrHell Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Well said! I get so fed up with the generalising about men and women on this site, and all the shallow BS. firehawk is a misogynist, many of his posts are downright rude to women. Its amazing how ignorant and full of crap some of the people in here are, and even better, how much they love to show it off. I'd answer firehawk, but why? Your destiny will be the product of the kind of person you are, good luck. As far as "men would, women would, no they wouldn't" etc, again BS. I have to go to the cancer hospital every 3 months for bloodwork. When I sit and wait in the waiting room it is one of the most gut wrenching things I've ever had to do in life, every time I go. If you want to talk love and devotion, and save the gender crap argument, go hang out in a cancer hospital waiting room. Maybe then you'd have the smallest of experience behind you to qualify your posting in here. 1
HeavenOrHell Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Nasty comment. Guess you wouldn't mind people being bitchy about you if you were the man in the video? I wonder if they still have a sex life at all? Staying married to him is one thing, but letting him climb on top of you.......
HeavenOrHell Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Well just be grateful it's not your or your partner who is unlucky enough to have the appearance of the man in the vid. I guess you wouldn't mind your partner leaving you if you started looking like this, and you wouldn't stay with your husband if his appearance changed through not fault of his own. Easy for people to make jokes when it's not you who is in their situation. 'And then throw up a little', hilarious. Ugh. This couple have a hell of a lot more love between them than you could even imagine. In the midst of all of teh bickering, this made me chuckle. And then throw up a little.
Author jobaba Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) I do. A lot of his posts are about how shallow women are or about how HE isn't so shallow (not true of course). No you don't care because you wanted another opportunity to bash women Yes. But I see my bitterness and my judgmental behavior. And I'm working on it. I'm in a bad period right now because I was trounced by a woman I really got to know and like. Do you see your faults? Edited June 17, 2012 by jobaba
Negative Nancy Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Oh please. Women are more likely to stay with a man that has health problems (or has even changed gender) due to unconditional love than a man who would leave if his wife starts to gain weight. You would never see a man stay with a woman with this condition. this actually is scientifically confirmed - women ARE the more loyal gender: Men Leave: Separation And Divorce Far More Common When The Wife Is The Patient
