Southern Men Are Worthless Trash! Not worth dating. (Chinese, attracted, husband)

Sounds like you just don't like men period. Give them a break. Some are very nice, it doesn't matter where they come from. There are jerks everywhere, and there are really nice guys everywhere.

So.

Agreed

Who are you calling RUDE?? Moi???? Not rude, just surprised by the blanket statements she offered during her diatribe.

People like this are exactly why I don't go to church anymore. Anyone with any sense would know that you can't generalize like this. There's good and bad everywhere in every group. It just takes patience to find the good sometimes.

It could be your expectations are too high or you are too desparate. I live in LA do you know how many times I've given out my number and had no call? When that happens, you say "Next!" and move on that's how you find the good ones.

CESpeed,

One of the things I find so annoying is when people blame it on having too high expectations or too desperate. It could be other reasons such as toxic people, super busy people with tons of drama in their lives, or people that come from a very different background or culture and that creates the clash. Other reasons besides SELF BLAMING need to be examined. ok.

To the OP: These rude people are also trying to say please have tact when you post about groups of people that you dislike. For example when I talk about gays, I usually say gay people that I know have been catty, immature, and impossible....that doesn't include everyone of them in the entire nation...since I don't know all of them and cannot give a realistic opinion.

Men from small towns don't approach you? One thing that is said about small towns is that word gets around fast. Once the first two or three of "small town southern men" try to "approach" you, word of you and your wonderful attitude spread faster than a CNN news bulletin.

I have more things I have on my mind about somebody who thinks like you. But my mother always told my brother and I if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all! What do I add to that?

It's the thought that counts!

Hey guys...oh artsyguy, I like your moxie...OK...one exception here is SOUTHERN MEN who are A GOOD BIT OLDER. They seem to be much more well behaved. I'm mostly ranting about those under 35.
Kygman-I think men in small towns tend to be mostly partnered already. So goes my experience. They marry the hometown honeys when they are 20 and go off the market quick as anything.

And HOW long have you been single, Smoky???

[smoky_topaz]

Too long. But then again, I'm just selective.
