How would you be able to tell? Would you be willing to go up to them and say, "ay douche, why you wearing sunglasses inside?"

Can you be really specific and, more importantly, as graphic as CD will allow, in defining what they are?
The use of that word is a big one for me but I don't usually use feminine hygiene products or apparatus to describe humans.

Some women like to wear yoga pants everywhere and when not exercising.

Some girls like to dye their hair purple or yellow

Some guys like to shave their heads or let their hair grow to their waist

Some guys like to wear sunglasses indoors

Who are you to judge who does what?

People judge others all day every day. This was a thread, started by a guy, asking women's opinions on what makes a guy a douche. Sorry if her answer hits too close to home for you.

Men that are angry, live angry, get enraged, hate women, feel cheated by women, feel entitled, and are constantly searching for ways to hate women, and are narcissists for whom all of life must be their way or else they are angry, are douchebags.

I know one guy like that, and he will tell you to your face that he's the nicest guy he konws, and he looks like he means it, but I think the truth is he knows he's a douchebag and is trying to be a douchebag but doesn't want anyone to think he is one. He refuses to stop being a douchebag.

Refusing to stop being a douchebag, IS being king of the douchebags.

Maybe it's because I'm choosy about who I spend my time with.
Maybe it's because I look for the best in people, & if they're not worthy of my time......
they're eliminated early on.
And, considering the location I'm in--
this place is notorious for men who are dickheads....
So I guess I just know how to avoid them, naturally, lol

One thing though-
that I will ad to the list here;
A guy who plays head games is the worst kind of dick.
Sounds like you might be in a state like North Dakota or thereabouts where the oil shale boom is going on and the population as a whole is skimpy, but the guys who are there are oil rig Cro-Magnon types who flew in for the big $$$'s to be made working heavy machinery. Making conversation with them would be like trying to talk Plato with a kindergartner.

Would this be a fair assessment?

Carrying this Cro-Magnon thing one step further, I once got a peek at a job application for oil rig workers and some of the questions on there were:

1. Years of Education:

___1 ___2___3___ (if less than one, please explain____________)

2. "The most words I have ever uttered consecutively without using profanity is:

1__ 2__ 3__ 4__ 5__

3. Which is correct grammatically?
___"Is youse guys goin' fer a beer?"
___"Ain't youse guys goin' fer a beer?"

Wearing sunglasses = automatic douche?...just lol


The hypocrisy in Relationship forum is strong.
Oh Grasshopper, you have SO much to learn about CD-R!! IDK where to even start, but here goes:

Basically you need to remember these few basic tenants, and post accordingly:

1- Women are superior to men-period
2- the woman's POV is the only correct one, and the only one you should consider
3- When relationships go bad, it is always the mans fault;so bashing men is acceptable
4- Women are never wrong, and they are allowed to say, post, or do whatever, whenever, to whomever as they choose. Without question. Double standards are allowed in these cases

(any exceptions to these tenants can only be approved by other female posters)

Failure to comply with these tenants means you are automatically a misogynist, loser, ugly virgin-boy who lives with mom and never dates, and therefore deserve as much abuse here as possible , and believe me- it'll come (You'll notice a lot of women here harbor a lot of resentment towards men who don't live their lives by the above creeds, but award "Preferred Male Poster" status to those who do)


Failure to abide by these rules, is to post at your own peril.
Just notice what happens to any guy that makes a thread or post that violates one of these 4 rules- The counter-attacks, and defensive "men do it too" posts come out of the woodwork, as do the gender-bashing accusations. More egregious violations result in shaming, as well as nasty little PM's snarky personal attacks, usually "Insult-by-Committee" style. Then everyone sits around laughing at you, and patting themselves on the back, so proud of how witty and clever they are, and proud that they did slay yet another misogynist. (Remember in CD world one only has to disagree with one of the above 4 rules to be a misogynist) TOS won't help you if you don't follow "the code" as you are fair game

So remember to obey these above 4 tenants and you'll do fine here, and eventually may even be awarded "Preferred Male Poster" status, where you receive undying adulation as a "real man who GETS it" or "Why can't ALL men be like you" However, if you do not, well good luck Mr Misogynist
