rant about the opposite gender

[morgs202]

Loyalty really does seem to have gone out the window in this day and age...

Nawww, not all young guys are bad and they at least say whats on their mind most of the time. I met my bf when I was 16 & he was 15... he does annoy me a lot less these days!

My friend dates this girl for her looks and she makes his life miserable but he won't leave her.

I think some fake tans look natural & good but don't know how people can be bothered spending their time and cashmoneys on them, and don't really see what it gets you... apart from a few free drinks. As long as you keep a good balance its fine, but lots of girls are way too caught up in their appearance.

You've just gotta have fun and enjoy being single and then when you meet someone who's alright then sweet.

Wow - 9 Pages of rants and raves and... gordo and his relationship philosophies - still very interesting indeed.

I read the first couple of pages and some of the latter ones too. But even though we're ranting about the opposite sex here - I'd like to rant about the same sex.

Now, me, being a fine heterosexual - I date women. But, I am of the age where I would like a permanent relationship and become very settled (body clock ticking???).

But, it appears every women that I start something serious up with seem to have plenty of baggage.

While I find this a bit of a stereotype - but in Australia men here seem to be very controlling.

Girls that I am dating seem very hard to get into their minds that they're free to see their friends, go to town, enjoy a night out, have their own money, see the people they want to see etc etc etc....

I don't know why it is - but so many girls have ex boyfriends stalking them, hunting them down, following them around and generally being really stupid to the point where I'd say not only are they breaking the law but they've got mental disorders.

So my message to men is:

LET IT GO!!!

 

[miss2]

sorry shnakey, but i could not go there...... not that i have anything against it, but its not for me

 

[DanTheMan]

Haha I agree Slim, I guess that's why Aussie chicks go crazy for us Kiwi boys

 

[slim6y]

Haha I agree Slim, I guess that's why they go crazy for us Kiwi boys

HAHA!! Yeah.... That's the truth...

I've got to admit though, conversely - women here are easier to talk to, easier to start something up with, and generally more relaxed than kiwi women.

Haven't read the rest of this yet, but I have to agree about this one. Conversely though, there are also an awful lot of women who pretend their exes are stalking them or have been abusive. I call it the damsel-in-distress syndrome. They're single for too long, or trying to get out of a relationship with someone they just don't like and it seems to be the done thing to pretend that there's something wrong in their lives in order to get other male attention.

My favourite (anti-favourite?) "stalking story" was when a friend came over from the UK for a holiday he'd saved up for for years, and his then girlfriend called him constantly in hysterics saying that her ex had hired people to go after her and they'd broken into her house. So finally, after many sleepless nights, phonecalls home and rearranging of flights, he went home after only having stayed for 2 weeks - instead of 4 months- and seen 2 cities. Turned out no such thing had happened, she just hadn't wanted him to go away.

So.....as Slim6y said....GET OVER IT!! For the love of god, move past the point where you decide that you just HAVE to have some sort of male attention or you'll shrivel up and die. Seriously, if you have to resort to making up stories to get attention, get some help rather than a man :lol:

Wow - I never thought of it like this - women don't lie or make up stories... do they? No... they don't.... They wouldn't....

So do you think the adverts that the police put out about controlling as a form of abuse might need a 'male' version too :lol:

"Making up stories" is a form of abuse (but some males won't mind)

Shhhh little pumpkin, it's okay.....girls don't lie....there, there..... :lol:

You laugh, but they need something! :lol: Especially given how often you end up with guys being belted up by the new boyfriend/interested party and their mates over something they haven't done.

I've had a chance to look back over the thread now, and realised I'm way off topic lol. As far as the original post goes, sure there are idiot males like that - and not just the young ones either - but there are plenty of girls/women just as guilty of it as they are. It's not a gender issue at all, it's a human problem and hardly a new one. The only difference is the idea of what constitutes good looking. Now for women it's skinny, plastic looking, orange (tanned), and pretty coloured eyes. Once upon a time it was plump, pale skinned and black eyes. Now women spend hours plucking, primping and carrying on until they barely look human; back the they'd put belladonna drops in their eyes so their pupils would dilate dramatically and make their eyes look black, and spend just as many hours altering their appearance to fit their ideal at the time. Men are no different, they just go about it in a different way.

I'm with some of the earlier posters, stress less about having someone in our life, eventually it'll happen. 9 times out of 10 people seem to find the perfect person when they're not looking. When you're constantly looking and taking whatever you can get, just to be with someone, you often end up putting up with relationships you're miserable in.

End of mummy rant....for now.

I don't think we're off track Kersten - maybe a different angle

But here's my rant similar to the main article...

Men... To be fair in most species males are the prettier of the two - sparrows - the male has the dark chest, peacocks - the huge plumage of colour displayed to attract a mate, lions - that big mane... You probably could go on all day about the more colourful species being the male.

Except - definitely not in humans!

Males need (in many species) to mate with as many females as possible to spread the seed. Looking for a viable mate sometimes isn't easy. And I would have said many moons ago the monogamous relationship would never have existed in humans and mating would have started at a lot younger age.

(whether I am right or wrong isn't really up for discussion here - it's more the fact that this is just something I am conjuring up).

So what's to say that that part of the brain has been semi dormant but it's still there - the bit that says continually mate with as many viable females as possible - I guess this gives rise to cheats (from the males side).

Again, not justifying it, just pointing out my ideas....

So females - what better way to attract a mate than to display her peacock feathers (figuratively speaking). She wears promiscuous clothes, dons on the make-up, cherry red lips, accentuates her positives and goes into an area that's flooded with males....

And what did she expect?

She didn't expect guys to oogle her, undress her with their eyes and think about taking things further.

She didn't expect guys to make advances on her etc etc... did she?

She says, I just feel better when I'm looking good.

Slightly ironic really that in order to feel good you have to be good to look at - yet at the same get very annoyed with all the extra attention (or is that a play too?).

Yet - I understand the intelligence vs looks debate... And then we get to see great shows like Beauty and the Geeks (is that what it's called?).

All in all - I am very happy in my current blossoming relationship (yes, sorry ladies, I'm taken) where pretentious thoughts are left far behind... Yet she's way hot too

there's plenty of lit on this. and yes, spot on slimy, thats the way the human brain is wired!
