Same here. What sucks is the vicious cycle that men and women go through. A woman gets played over and over again and becomes jaded to the point that she is always having to look out for number one in relationshsips. The guy gets this woman looking for a meaningful relationship but gets screwwed over by her conniving gold digging and decides that all women are evil and decides that his best bet is to look out for number one and just try to get laid. And the cycle continues. Not really the man or the woman's fault per se, it can be initiated by either party, but a vicious cycle none the less once it has started.

I think EVERYONE (both MEN and WOMEN) want Mr. or Ms. right.

At least to begin with. As you grow older most times you come to the conclution that there IS NO Mr. or Ms. right, and you find someone close, or you just give up.

Thanks to T.V. , Mag.s and the internet a lot of what you describe is what people have come to think as the ideal. Don't blame US (men) for it all. Women play into it just as much as we do.

You really don't want a woman who's an equal. You want a combo-platter whore/housekeeper/mommy. No one wants to be your Mommy, buddy. Or your whore or housekeeper for that matter.

God, that was beautiful!

<---filing and saving that one for future reference. :D

I like this one:

You insist til you are blue in the face that there are no good women left around when there's actually an army of them - they're just not the brainless, spineless, 98-lb geisha dolls you really want.

What's wrong with being a buddy? My wife is a great buddy!

Agreed. It takes two to tango... but I think there's less pressure on women to conform to ideals and standards. i.e. If a girl introduces her nice new boyriend to her girlfriends and he isn't particularly attractive or wealthy, her girlfriends will be happy for her because "he's a nice guy". If a guy has a nice new girlfriend who isn't particularly attractive or wealthy, he may be ashamed to introduce her to his guy friends... and if he does introduce her to them, they may rag on him for it.

i.e. In ATOT, if a girl introduces the forum to her boyfriend by pictures and info, there's generally support (even though I can't recall an incident where this has happened). If a guy introduces his girlfriend to the forum by pictures and info, one of two things happen. One, she's attractive and gets tons of "GOOD JOB! MORE PICS?" replies. Two, she's not that attractive and gets zero or even negative feedback.

*shrugs* That appears to be the trend from what I've personally witnessed, but I'm sure there are always exceptions to the rule...

Well, right now I'm not having such a problem. I don't have a problem meeting women, the thing is they don't want to meet me. I think I could settle for pretty much any slim woman about 5 years younger than me, what the heck, I got nothing to lose. But they just aren't coming to me. You see, it's not all that simple and cute. Maybe for you women it is, but for me it's a hard work, and apparently it's much too hard to accomplish it.

I'm sure given the chance, most of these guys would go out with whomever they could get. It's all talk on an internet message board.

i was watching some movie on hbo a few nights ago, where a dude was explaining what's wrong with feminism.

see, women are all mad because we have these standards that are impossible to obtain. they have to suffer with the fact that they'll never live up to them, not matter how much they torture themselves.

but what they don't understand is that men get a raw deal too! they have to live with the fact that the girl they're dating isn't as cute as he wishes she was!

So you're stating that you don't set certain standards/expectations on somebody that is more compatible with you?

Women are just equally tainted in their ideology of suitable male counterpart.

To each his own, if Anandtecher prefers the "85lb geshia/Causaisain, IQ of rock, C cup bra, etc" more power to him. In the end, you have to realize whats in the heart.


A person can change their looks but never whats in their heart.


Just newbie's two cents.

You're not honestly basing your views of men on ATOT, are you?

Because if you are, you might as well pack up, buy some Melissa Etheridge CDs, and head for Ontario now. :p

So true, but if I introduce my "girlfriend" (I don't have one at the moment) to my friends.......... I think they would be mature enough to be tactful and keep thier opinions to themsleves. I always say one mans porsche is another mans hyundai ;) Everybody has different tastes and if they said something ..........I'd them them to go bleep themselves.

Cheers,

do you ever point out that they are not "slim" enough and that they are five years too old?


because we may have found the problem

Heh. :) I know (hope?) most of the comments from guys on ATOT aren't spoken in all seriousness or sincerity, but they must come from somewhere/have some element of truth to them.

Personally, I think the guys I've met from ATOT are of a higher caliber than men I've met elsewhere... not sure what that indicates, but I won't overanalyze it. :p

I learned a long time ago not to take this board seriously. I wouldn't relate anything on this board to anything in real life.
