Well, you do have to be a bit self-reflective and willing to take advice and take a critical look at your own behavior. Calling everyone who doesn't coddle you and tell you what you want to hear names isn't going to get you anywhere.

Let me ask you this - what do you want out of life? Do you want to see women in a more positive light? Do you want to be able to see women as individuals as opposed to some power hungry, controlling entity? Do you want to be able to have good relationships with women? Because if you truly want this and you work toward it - it's possible. But it's like anything else in life - if you don't want to change, nobody can MAKE you change. A therapist can only HELP you make changes - they can't make them for you. This is why it's so hard to treat things like eating disorders - the patient doesn't WANT to get better.

It seems like you lash out at everyone - those that are trying to help as much as those that just point out things you don't want to hear. What are you getting out of this? If CD makes you angry and upset - maybe you should take a break from it. When trying to improve yourself and your life - you need to make decisions that help you on your journey.

-and saying, "Women have all the power. They don't have to do anything. They just sit there and make us miserable. They are cruel and I hate them."

See the difference?


This made me chuckle.

It's always entertaining to see how passive-aggressive people get on the Internet.

I don't recall seeing a list of people from whom you wanted responses?

They just need to create a Preacher filter button on the user settings. That way we could just filter out condescending types.

Something tells me you wouldn't make the list.

If you're not interested in what other people have to say, then why post on a public forum at all? A personal journal would be a better option for working out your feelings without the risk of criticism from others.

For the record, i wasn't ALWAYS like this... sarcastic, snarky, posting conspiracy theories about women. I used to be a really nice guy, very polite and respectful. It's years of rejection taking it's toll. I know there are some of you Perfect People out there, you Chosen Ones, who don't react negatively to negative experiences, but i guess i'm not one of them. Most men aren't BORN with a disrespect or distrust of women... we LEARN it through life's experiences as more and more women treat us badly.
