I guess we just aren't hanging around the right people. I guess I should try finding some more bitter, angry people to hang out with - then I guess this kind of trash would make more sense to me.
There is precious little barfed forth on this forum, as far as quite a few posters are concerned, that comes anywhere near resembling any actual real-life discussions or interactions that I've ever had, that's for sure. The temptation to spew forth untempered idiocy is a lot greater when you're not face-to-face with a general populace who would look at you like you had three heads and walk away.
You're absolutely correct. In that we all tend to live in our own "bubbles" or frames of references. One can go ten miles in any given direction; and what individuals have agreed upon as being socially acceptable behavior/conversation. Differs, or common words take on slightly differing nuiances.
Given this fact it makes no sense, then, to generalize the genders. Especially in a negative way, but that's what people do.

I agree. I said this on another thread, but pretty much every problem brought up on the relationship forum can be solved by not hanging out with society's dregs. That includes the cheaters, the golddiggers, the game players, the boss hogs, etc.
Many of these discussions baffle me because I don't associate with people who act like that.
Eating cereal for dinner? lol I have yet to date a woman of my generation that can outcook me. All of my married male friends, most definately know how to cook where some have wives that cannot or will not cook at all.
ZOOOOOOOOM, right over your head. Many, many women do not WANT a big meal, and would be happy with a bowl of soup or cereal, without some man nagging them about dinner. Heaven forbid a woman is around between the hours of 5:30 and 8:00. "What's for dinner? Oh, you don't want to cook? Okay, we'll go out. You don't want to go out? Okay, let's order in. No? Not in the mood? Okay, well, I can cook then. Wait, what do you mean you're not hungry? But what are we going to do for dinner then?"
Your post is indicative of someone who takes himself and these boards entirely too seriously. Thanks for saving someone in the sistahood the trouble of divorcing you.

The differences I'm talking about have little to do with geography and more to do with types of people. I'm a nice, friendly, positive person. Most of my friends - whether single, involved, or married - are also nice, friendly, positive people. I think you attract what you put out there. If you are filled with sourness and bitterness - that is probably what you will attract.
And words like nag and whine and so forth are pretty much considered negatives wherever you go.

Even nice, friendly, positive people are human and are capable of some pretty horrendous behavior under the right circumstance.

Strong marriages create happy families. Happy families are important to society. Some of us, simply prefer not to do those things.
