I think she is real upset and probably didn't mean everybody that is southern but just the people she knows. That is most likely what she means. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. She also might be young and unable to communicate as effectively or accurately.

She flung out a huge and rather dumb generalization like that, and she doesn't think she's part of the problem? I thought I was pretty gentle with her.

Well, this way, she'll learn. So we did her a huge favor.

Not make really sweeping generalizations like that. It's the equivalent of rolling up a newspaper and smacking a puppy on the nose when he makes a mess inside the house.

Ah....you see my point, then. Dispense a little pain in exchange for a supremely valuable life lesson. Plus you're way too sensitive yourself.

To me, you sound like just another bitter woman who blames an entire population of people for her shortcomings in the dating world.
After reading what you wrote, to be frank, I don't think us "good 'ol boys" are losing anything of great value if you decide to boycott us.
Oh, and to add to that, I'm 23 as well, so you can add some more stereotypes with that, I figure.

If your from Rural South Miss there is ALOT of what the OP is talking about there. ALOT!!

And sensitivity is good because I'm more understanding towards others experiences/views and likable because of that.
I just don't see this poster as a puppy that needs to be smacked on the nose.

Doesn't mean that we're all like that, now does it?
If this were a "(Insert Race Here) Men Are Worthless Trash!" thread, you would be appalled, I'm betting.
