I agree! I once played chess with a fellow who seemingly effortlessly avoided a complicated trap I had set for him. I was very impressed by his insight into the positiion. Then on his next move he jumped right back into the trap as quickly as he had escaped it.
How about when that Irish boxer, [Jimmy Conn?] had outpointed Joe Louis foir fourteen rounds and all he needed to do was coast for that last round by keeping the distance as his corner was telling him to. He threw it away by going in for a knockout and got himself knocked out instead.
Sometimes it does seem as if we are our worse enemy.
I don't mind a woman. You sure as hell wouldn't tell a woman to date women if she loathed guys.
You people are something else.
"You people"...do you mean women? Do you loathe us, yet still want us? Have you ever considered therapy of some sort? I would hate for my feelings to be so conflicted.

Some people think relationships are all ABOUT control. Therefore, if you are not in control of your mate, your mate must be controlling you! Sheer ignorance.... because in a good relationship, one is not controlling the other....they are controlling themselves.
LOL Ahh, so men that don't have poor luck with women are mind controlled. I don't understand where you guys are coming from. You (general you) don't like women, yet you want women. If you don't want women then I don't understand why you bother thinking about women. If all you want is a wet spot, well, other men are available for that and a host of toys.

But, yes, I would tell a woman who loathed men to date women. Common sense isn't it?
I think the majority of women here would.

That's weird.
Did you two not see that the post he responded to basically said the same thing "you guys = you people" yet you jumped all over him?
... is a good description of the little clique on this site that attempts to stifle any opinions that they disagree with. Women don't like to hear things that conflict with their neat little version of life. In contrast, men like a good rumble.
Life is messy and people have all sorts of things motivating them - good and bad. Understanding how others think and seeing their problems from their perspective is important.
Contrary to what feminists have been saying for decades, most men have absolutely no control about getting into the type of relationship that they'd like. I'm not talking about some sort of patriarchal plot either - just finding a woman who is basically an equal since this is definitely not what women want and they now hold all the cards, except with respect to the most desirable men.
Expecting men to automatically take women the way that they are because they are somehow perfect and men are flawed may have worked at one time but what man can afford the risk anymore? Hence, more and more are opting out.

I think you're wrong. He initially responded to my post and no, most guys here would not refer males to couple with males. You people was meant specifically for the women, or me really. I don't have a problem with those terms tho. I'm about to use "you people" to refer to the male haters on this board in about two seconds. And redneck disagrees with you as well.

It's not about stifling anything. It's a refusal to take responsibility for your relationships. You can blame your ex, your momma, or your family members, but no, you want to blame all women for your crappy relationship lives. You people can go pound sand with that.
Very true. Naive young men with high testosterone levels, low class and little practical experience, can get nasty fast when there is the chance of *****.
By age 25 at the latest, the smart ones have come to realize that few women are worth fighting about and they mellow out.
The stupid ones - particularly the good looking stupid ones are stuck in a relationship and no longer are out and about creating havoc. If their testosterone level is still high and they aren't getting it satisfied, they are on the prowl but no longer are abusive about it, since this will attract attention to their cheating.
Women in contrast have to become more catty and competitive as they age to compensate for declining interest among men.

It seems as though you believe that it's impossible for men to be happy in a relationship. Are their only choices really to "opt out" or to be "stupid" and "stuck in a relationship"? What a sad view of life.
Personally, I don't care who chooses not to be in a relationship, but it would be nice if those people were content with their choices instead of crabbing about it all the time. It just comes off as sour grapes.

You had me with the last paragraph...but lost me here. If both sexes would adhere to the paragraph above, THIS paragraph wouldn't be such a problem, would it?

NO.... you see men on here complaining that women won't take THEM exactly the way they are! No one is perfect, no man, no woman. Every one of them/us, have imperfections. Please don't use such ignorant blanket statements.
For the men who feel that way....who feel that they're alone and being rejected for who they are, stop and think about the women you're approaching. I will guarantee that you are not approaching EVERY single woman. Clearly, you're only approaching the women whom you deem "perfect enough for YOU". You are likely rejecting the very women who would choose you because you're "perfect for them"...because they're not "good enough for you".
The double standards here just crack me up.
