Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 That is not my experience of life. Is that yours? It was where I used to live, and it seems like it is for this guy who made the topic.
sally4sara Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 So you were just having a friendly joke with him then and didn't mean any offense? Think about it Ross. I don't know everyone who is not this asshat. I don't even know this asshat other than he came on here with his bigotry and isn't seeking any help or advise. Of course I hope I offended this offensive person. But it would be weird for me to think he is the worst person on the planet and everyone else but him gets my backing without me knowing them.
anne1707 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 That is not my experience of life. Is that yours? I have always found that most people are decent and not out to hurt each other (Tried to edit but too slow)
brahmabull117 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I have 2 beautiful sisters, 4 incredibly adorable nieces, 3 great aunts and 3 great female cousins I'm pretty much the only male in my whole entire extended family under the age of 40 so no I love women My friends are almost all guys though as I generally do prefer having conversations with men as they are more intellectually stimulating when it comes to the things I enjoy doing (not that women can't have intelligent conversations, they just can't have intelligent conversations about things I enjoy - like football, heavy metal and videogames). No offense of course
Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I have always found that most people are decent and not out to hurt each other (Tried to edit but too slow) This wasn't my experience when I lived in New Moston in Manchester, or any of the other surrounding areas (Failsworth, Oldham, Chadderton, etc). I grew up in Chadderton and New Moston, thinking that nasty people were the norm and that it was like this everywhere, until I started interacting with people from all over the world on the Internet and moved to where I am now. I was so surprised by how friendly, accepting and non judgemental people were on the Internet and where I now live.

No offence Ross but I wonder how much of this is because of your problems in interacting with strangers face to face (no offence meant ). However I suspect you might be right on New Moston
Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 No offence Ross but I wonder how much of this is because of your problems in interacting with strangers face to face (no offence meant ). However I suspect you might be right on New Moston Are you saying that maybe the way I interact with strangers face to face brings out a nasty attitude in them? I was going to say who knows, maybe I come off as rude myself without realising it. But if that was the case I would of experienced a lot of people having an attitude where I live now, yet I don't, like I said, most of them seem really nice and friendly.
sally4sara Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Well the OP started a nasty thread and I gave him a nasty response. It works that way face to face too.
Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I do actually value talking to you about this anne, since you are from down that way (not saying you're nasty yourself), and it's really interesting to hear your opinion about it.
Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Well the OP started a nasty thread and I gave him a nasty response. It works that way face to face too. It didn't sound that nasty to me. Sounded more like he just found that most women aren't nice towards him where he lives and he was just stating that.

I just wondered whether your shyness made it difficult for you to talk to others and they in turn found it awkward. It may be that you as you now are increasing in confidence, you and the people you interact with find it easier than you did in the past.

Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) I just wondered whether your shyness made it difficult for you to talk to others and they in turn found it awkward. It may be that you as you now are increasing in confidence, you and the people you interact with find it easier than you did in the past. 99% of my friends weren't what I would class as genuine nice people, very judgemental, and I was confident with them. For the first several years where I live now, I think I was actually way more unconfident than how I was where I used to live. Because I guess it was just such a culture shock, you seem to see so many more girls everywhere over here, most young people seem to be the partying type, and yeah, most people seem a LOT different from how people were where I was from. I felt like a fish out of water and like such a loser compared to everyone else. I think the whole reason why I'm more confident now, 'is' because of the fact that people are so much more friendly and accepting over here, and that a lot of people online (especially one person who I'm very close to) have said I'm great and have been really supportive towards me. Where I used to live, for the whole 24 years that I lived there, I can't remember ONE person saying anything positive about me, and that is the honest truth. Edited August 3, 2012 by Ross MwcFan
lino Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I think the self entitlement attitude prevalent in a lot of women comes from not being held accountable for any of the bad things they've done throughout pretty much their entire lives. In most recent generations, fathers are way tougher on their sons than on their daughters when they step out of line. Someone growing up like that will very likely think they can get away with virtually anything when they're adults. I'd blame the upbringing more than the individual. Also, those saying they have great relationships with their father, uncles, brothers, friends, etc are missing the point. You aren't f*cking any of those guys, at least I hope not! It completely changes when sex comes into the picture, everyone knows that!

Ross MwcFan Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 My mum was way more tougher on my sister than she was with me, yet my sister has turned out to be way more of a normal functioning balanced adult than I have. Weird.
DreamerDeceiver Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I like a whole lotta women and can remain friendly with most women, but I would say I dislike about 60%+ of the women I meet. Most women now days are stuck up bitches with a horray-for-me-and-f-everyone-else attitute. The problem is not with women; the problem is with the women you are usually attracted to, and have been seeing or dating. Trust me, I used to think the same thing until I understood more about the differences between men and women. It's gotten to the point where I freely admit the kind of woman I am always attracted to is not long term relationship material aka "stuck up b--ches". I just love to challenge their ways no matter if I "win or lose" at the end. It's just fun. Don't give up or get angry at the first sign of "bitchiness", make fun of it or put a loving spin on it, sounds corny but this is what gets these ice queens to melt. Then if she really gives you a reason to say "whatever, later", you can rest knowing you were a true gentlemen about the situation. I get along with most men I meet. Am I abnormal or do other male poste rs feel the same way as me? I think I speak for every guy when I say yes. I can't remember the last time I talked about movies, geography, or Renaissance artistic styles with a guy, lol. Edited August 3, 2012 by DreamerDeceiver
ChatroomHero Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Given the vitriol posted by a number of guys in the Dating forum in particular, I'd say that there are a number of guys who hate women. There are also a number of guys who love and like women. Since you say that you merely "dislike" rather than "hate" it seems that you are not in good company with your milder emotion. On here I think you have to factor in that dating for men involves assuming most of the risk and then dealing with frustrating mixed signals and subtle hints that could go either way. If it was the norm for women to have to ask out men, I think you would see the same vitriol from women posting, "I asked this guy out and he said he had an great time talking to me and would love to go out with me but doesn't return my calls". I think as the initiator men probably see more of the frustrating and disrespectful ways women handle things so I wouldn't go by the posts on here. Men would probably do the same things if they got hit on 50 times a day by different women, but that's just not the case. I think the OP just likes traits in women that are not in the majority and in his area it sounds like he doesn't admire the common traits of the women that live there.
darkmoon Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 "i do not like most women" sorry sweetie, but not all of us women are keen to please you (or any one man) 1
dropdeadredtx Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I'm 32 and live in an affluent neighborhood north of Houston called The Woodlands. Maybe its just the area that I'm in that makes me a bit jaded. Most women out here are well to do and have an entitled attitude. Maybe I should move to down town Houston to meet more friendly women? Interesting that this is the very first thread I read on this board; I live and work in downtown Houston. I get matched with men from the burbs all the time, and you kind of have a point.
