I don't have an issue with myself. I'm who I am. I've been clear on that too.

But to be a jerk toward a guy and assume he's interested?

That sucks.
Okay, now you're moving the goalposts of this conversation--who said that there's no reason to talk to a decent guy unless he's hot? Why is preemptively subtly hinting that she's not interested being a jerk? Actually being a jerk is something completely different.

RE-fuse.

Any conversation, no matter how innocent, is seen as an attempt to get into their pants.

It's mainly narcissism.


You're participating in a bit of selective reading yourself. Here ^^^ you ignore the most important part of that post, which is:

That doesn't fit your agenda here, though. Also, post #233 is the only one where you've calmly made a point. The rest? Angry, yes, defensive, and closed-minded. The first response was an abberration. The rest were definitely not angry, and MANY were from men!

The irony is rich with this one. You know what sucks? Your attitude toward women.

You'd be assuming what I'm assuming. And yes, please tell me what my name says about me aside from being the tag line from a Pantene commercial?

You are concluding that someone mentioning their boyfriend is an affront to you. A woman is a jerk in your world if she is preemptive when you are 'just being nice'.

You think you are coming off nice, and that women are being witches with a b for not treating you like you're a hot guy (because you're so NICE, right?) - this may be a newsflash to you, but you do not come off as nice. at all.

Try talking 'nice' to a woman who is not at all attractive. On a scale of 1-10, she will be a three or less. Do it. See if she also mentions her SO. Based on your theory, she will also mention her SO in some random non sequitur fashion. Why not run this little experiment and let us know what happens?

So is it fair to say you don't have a lot of female friends, OP?

See, I treat everyone the same. I know that's a weird thing to some people, but I believe in an egalitarian spirit based on hard work and social justice. I don't believe in oppressing any human being nor do I believe that a person should be judged purely on superficial nonsense.

I've had many long conversations about art, science, politics, literature and life itself with women who would be considered "plain" or "homely" and NOT ONCE is there some kind of assumption of romantic interest.

I guess it depends on what people look like.

Sadly.

Actually, I have many women friends.

Some are married, some are single, some are in long-term relationships.

I'm not a misogynist. I don't have issues with women.

I literally wanted to know how people felt about this subject.

But, some folks aren't interested in that discussion.

So it appears the women who bring up the SO (the shallow "jerks") are the attractive women. You know what to do.

This reminds me of a song.

Tessie, nuff said MacGreevy shouted,

Foot wipes and shoes in the air.

Yup.

Wow. That has never happened to me, but I believe it. It does happen.

I have held open doors for women. I've gotten a range of reactions from them just walking through to a woman just staring lovingly through me calling me a sweetie. It was like she was going to kiss me on the cheeks or something.

But, the screaming and yelling is really sad. There was no need to feel embarrassed by that. It says more about her than you.
