Lol, I've been hearing that " sex robots are coming any day now!" for the past decade. No, it will never happen. For one, the energy and resources aren't there for it. Also, men want intimacy with a real flesh and blood female, not a piece of silicone, plastic, and circuitry.

No doubt men will be depicted as stupid pathetic week and sad for using that. They already are for using toys.

It was find a man, any man, or die.




Can you really blame them? Women's lives are probably pretty complete. If they have a good job they don't really need too much else. If men were a compliment to women, i.e., took care of the house, took care of the kids, contributed to the relationship... were sane, it would be good thing. But too many of them get married and turn into "men" -- refuse to take care of chores, play video games all day, cheat, are verbally and physically abusive (see Jonny Depp) start "asserting themselves" and the subsequent divorce can ruin lives and mental states.

Yes.. what would it be like for men to vanish -- maybe we need to see.
Yes, it would be so cool. I have always heard that the dark ages was dope. The thing is, you're talking about so few men when you discuss many of these guys that don't contribute. It is true that throughout history and even going on to this day that a lot of men didn't pair up or reproduce.

Also bringing up Johnny Depp is a bad example that you tried to use, given the light of the whole situation that many are finding out about now.

false. My sex drive was considered criminal behavior until 2003 and it has nothing to do with women. Those laws pertained strictly to Men.
every little thing that men do is something women comment on. The way they sit on trains what they look at when they're out in public what they say how they say it who they say it to.



I don't think there's a such thing as can't there's a lot of risk involved in it. So it's preferable to have someone you can trust.

I'm going to guess your gay? Most people didn't consider that criminal behavior, certains hate groups and the government was late to support. Not trivializing, I think that community has been treated horribly.

Yeah, you think men aren't making comments to women? Cat calling, wolf whistles and stuff that makes us feel unsafe? Granted that is less socially acceptable, thank god, as is us being grabbed by strangers.

Have you ever had someone stalk you for months? Go to your work, follow you from place to place? It is frightening. Ever had someone peep in your windows and leave you notes outside your door? Not a great feeling.

Listen, in general I have no problem with men, I've never had trouble with relationships, or having male friends. But I see some men say stuff online that I find more frightening than that guy peeping in my window.

I do have a problem with people who blame other people for their personal problems. It's dangerous. It's a bad slope to go down.

Who cares, if it floats your boat then by all means do so. Men shouldn't put too much emphasis in what society thinks of them. There will be those who just s*** on men for existing. If you can release your urges doing that, it may be a net benefit because when you interact with women, sex won't be the single big thing on your mind.

Reminds me of a time I was with a cute, personable former co-worker at a seminar. When she found out it was my birthday, she bought me lunch. It didn't even occur to me until the next day that I should have asked for her number. She had told me where she worked, but I had forgotten.

Sometimes you don't want particular opportunities but you should have seen them. I was at a business lunch with a colleague and a vendor. A total 10 blonde who worked for the vendor out of the blue came and joined us. I didn't understand why my colleague seemed nervous. It was only after I got back to the office I realized the vendor was offering the blonde to "service" the account to encourage overlooking some short-comings of the vendor! He made a bunch of references that made it obvious, but I was oblivious. Something about meeting her on an airport runway. I had absolutely no idea at that moment what was going on!
Funny. Reminds me of this trip to San Jose, back in the 80’s. A few of us were in this Mexican Restaurant called “Whose Song and Larry’s” (what a bizarre name). So, we’re at a table, and one of the guys nudges me to look at this blonde sitting alone at the bar. I told him, forget about it … she’s waiting for someone, I promise you, and besides you and I probably have a better chance of becoming President of the United States … this girl was a 12 … she intimidated 10’s. Anyway, these other girls entered and sat down at a table next to us, and quickly the conversation began and they joined us. Then, a few moments later, the waiter comes over to me and hands me a drink, saying this is from the large breasted blonde lady over there in the corner table. So, being the gentlemen that I am, I excused myself and went over to thank her, and said we had just been joined by friends, so it would be rude of me to leave them immediately, and that maybe her and I could talk later. So, on my way back to my table, I’m passing by that blonde at the bar …that 12? She reaches out and grabs my arm as I walk by, and asks me if she can buy me a drink! That’s when I began thinking that I’m being set up … this has got to be a practical joke someone is playing on me! But it wasn’t. The 12 was waiting for a business colleague, eventually bought my entire table a round of appetizers, gave me her number and we made a tentative date for the following evening. The next day, she calls and apologizes for having to cancel, due to work … but switches to Friday night instead, which according to her thinking would be way better anyway, since “we won’t have to get up early in the morning”. Of course, my freaking itinerary had me leaving San Francisco back to Washington DC on that Friday afternoon. I feverishly attempted to switch flights to a later one, but had no luck other than a first class flight that cost $1200 more than my current ticket. That was a lot of money in the 1980’s, and couldn’t do it … we were forbidden to fly first class, and would be immediately rejected by corporate travel accounting, having nothing to do with costs. If I could have gotten a coach seat, it could have cost anything, and my boss had already given me the green light to stay another day or two, but I would have had to eat the $1200.

The amazing thing is she actually came out to the damn airport and sat with me for an hour while waiting for boarding. She encouraged me to get back soon, as she had close friends that owned a hot air balloon business in Napa Valley that we could spend a weekend having a blast. I never got back, and never saw her again. One of those few life regrets that come to mind every once in a while.

yes I'm gay and it was when I came out and accepted my sexuality and pursuing men that made me realize how much of a man's life is consumed and controlled by women.

See what I mean? You get to complain about people saying things to you. And people take you seriously.
Quote:

that's perfectly acceptable to do to men. If you try and file a complaint you get mocked. Yes by women.

Yes. I've even had violence enacted upon me and I had to take it. That's what you have to do when you are a man.

I'm not suggesting you have difficulty with men. I'm not suggesting you have any issue at all with men.

I'm talking about how all men must pay for the creepy things that scare you online. And you never know what you say that will freak out a woman. I've run into this several times even being a gay man.

My issue is holding men accountable for things others do. Or for whatever feelings it may illicit in people around.

I'm not saying this as an accusingly it's just what I've learned when I let go of being hetero.

I was talking to a guy on here that thought he was bad because he looked at porno.

Homely men too ugly to get a date wouldn't want to reject a female sex robot, though they would likely demand a warm one so it won't seem too much like being with a corpse.

Man that is a crazy story. That type of thing happens to so few men. It makes sense that it was also back in the 80's. Nowadays, the woman would be looking at their phone comparing their matches on tinder to the men at the bar lol.

It was a definite boost for you that you had the company of other women and that there was a displayed interest. Women love men that other women give attention to and swoon over. It is definitely positive reinforcement for the men that have always received attention from women and it keeps getting easier for them.

It seems more than anything it's about anything that takes men's attention away from women. Hobbies, video games, dungeons and dragons, pornography, comic books even homosexuality. All things that have been viciously attacked in society.

Such things can be considered illegal in certain jurisdictions.
