Like a couple men said, she has enough attributes that would make her a catch. An attractive, fit woman without kids and maybe some family money, that would be a swipe right for most men.
Its interesting how this thread brings out the blatant misogyny that some men still practice nowadays

No, she does like Argentinian men, but, SHOCKINGLY, most men do not like a woman that cant support herself, does not work or study, and cant hold an interesting conversation

Im sure for some of you this is ridiculous cause women ARE only a peace of meat thats there to shut up and look pretty, but, NEWSFLASH, women are human beings, just like you, smarter or dumber depends on the person (not gender) and what they decide to do with their life.

Where is the misogyny in my post? I wrote it with much more appreciation about the woman in question than you.

Sorry but when you say: "most men do not like a woman that cant support herself, does not work or study, and cant hold an interesting conversation" it makes me the think the value systems are different from America to Argentina. American men would go for her consistently. You just get sore when men suggest physical assets are important in women.

I despise useless people who can't take care of themselves even though they are perfectly capable of doing so.

That's what a gentleman does anyway. No telling what your blue collar worker bee type mentality would do. Maybe you're the type that would leave your SO high and dry if you were in that position. I know that I'm certainly not.
99.9% of women throughout history have had no choice. They were unable to work at a job that could support them. IMO that doesn't equate to "working out" for them.

Not everyone will agree to alimony or will have the financial resources to leave a spouse financially set for the rest of their life. Personally, I can't imagine leaving a spouse "high and dry" in the event of a divorce but it's not ever been an issue for me.

So American men are all blatant misogynysts??

wow, good to know.

The fact that you cant see where your misogyny is talks about how ingrained your misogyny is.

And, again, i would criticize BOTH men and women who dont do anything interesting with their life or are dumb. And you would CONGRATULATE a woman thats dumb because, that, for you, is what woman should be. See the difference?? Misogynyst. Huge one.

Exactly.

Imagine if the genders were reversed. I mean, the person i talk about were a MAN, that has NO JOB, no interesting hobbies, NEVER STUDIED ANYTHING, still lives with his parents at 30, and cant hold a conversation!

Do you imagine ANY WOMAN saying "wow, what a great catch!!"

NO! everyone would be saying "what an utter loser!!"

but theres a woman like that and all the women haters come out of their shell and talk about how they are tired of all this "modern women"and appreciate a woman that stays in her place.


Her place = being useless, dumb, and pretty.

Like i said, women haters.

Being dumb or smart has nothing to do with gender.

Being pretty or not so pretty has nothing to do with gender.

Doing something with your life or not even trying has nothing to do with gender.

Reading books, learning about stuff, talking about interesting issues has nothing to do with gender.


An idiot is an idiot is an idiot, despite being a man, or a woman.

An intelligent person is so, A PERSON, woman CAN BE smart, JUST AS men can be.

Men and women both can be utterly dumb.

Like i said, gender has nothing to do with it.

We are ALL people.


Repeat and learn.

Ignorant, also, has nothing to do with gender.

Was wondering what the OP's point of this thread is??? I haven't seen every response here but the vast majority of average everyday people find what was listed in the OP as being on the verge of abhorrent.

What is the end game here? Just wanna vent and rag on the woman or was there some other intentions such as trying to help her see the err of her ways??

Actually, some people find her WHAT A WOMAN MUST BE, and i find that AT LEAST insulting.

Apparently, its ok to insult all women in one post and no woman OR men would come up and say anything.

Yeah, this particular woman is dumb
So are many other women or men in other threads started by other people
People are dumb
But to get a response about how she is a REAL WOMAN and how all the woman that arent dumb are LESS OF A WOMAN is frankly completely insulting and abhorrent.

I never expected the kind of responses i got in the end, of people LOVING a type like that because THATS WHAT WOMEN SHOULD BE.

Imagine if it were the opposite gender. You cant because it would NEVER happen.

Also. This. Again and again.
