Most of us try to give good advice, and when your need to give the best advice prohibits you from even listening to the OP, I think more people than me need to take a step back and evaluate themselves first.

For those that thought (think) I'm a moron, I'm sure you'll be glad by this announcement. The sad thing is as happy as you are shows just how sad you are as an individual. Hope others beside me take some time to reflect on what they say.

For the women on here that seem to like to turn everything into a one-sided story (when a woman brings up a problem you fault the man, when the man brings up a problem, you say you don't have the "whole" story), you need to think about the way you feel you're treated as a woman and treat the guys the same way.

Whether you liked me or not, agreed with me or not, are happy I'm taking a break or not.. I wish you all the best. Be safe this holiday weekend, and take care of yourselves (and each other). Good luck to you all.

I blame Oprah and the Lifetime channel for convincing a lot of people wee wee's bad, vag's good. But I also blame Mort, Jerry and Morry for helping cement the idea!

"Man bashing, man bashing, stomp stomp stomp..." PLEASE. Yes, there's some of that. Often in response to the dozens and dozens of threads such as: "Ugh, I'd never date a fat woman. Here's what my woman must look like: This particular celebrity!", "Hey! Look at this picture of this ugly woman! Ha ha ha!" "Hey! Look at this picture of this sickening fat chick! Doesn't she make you want to throw up?" "How can I tell whether a woman is a gold-digging POS?" "How can I tell whether a woman is a liar, like most women?" "What do you like best about a woman? Her boobs? Or her butt? Exactly how big should each be? How small? What are your absolute limits on the exact body parts of the prospective female?" "How old is too old in a woman? 25?" "Isn't it okay for a 45-year-old man to date an 18-year-old girl? I mean I know it would be gross the other way around..." "Eew! Aren't white women ugly when they get old?" "How do I get my lazy POS stupid wife to get off her *ss and work harder around the house?" "Oh, you only responded that way because you have your period." "I wish I could be married to ten women, so one could clip my toenails while the other one serviced my other parts." "How come all women are sluts?" "How come not enough women put out early in the relationship? They must be playing games." "How can you tell that a woman isn't just trying to trap you...since that's what basically all of them do?" "Aren't women so overemotional? So spendthrif? So unreasonable? So lazy? So demanding?" "Hey, here's how to psyche out all those money-grubbing women. Show up for your first date in a POS car that's leaking oil and misfiring and take her to a back alley and feed her cat sh*t on a plate for dinner. That way, if she stays with you, you'll know she's worthwhile, and after this test, you can reward her by actually treating her like a human being. But NO human treatment UNTIL she proves she isn't like all the other lying, manipulative women out there!" "Hey, you know what I think I'll do? Buy a flashy car so that I can drive it all around until some girl comes up to me...so that I can humiliate her in public by telling her she must be a money-grubber! So how much do you think I should spend on this car?"

And ON and ON and ON and ON.

But I'm not whining about it. I'm responding to it...when it happens. WHICH IS CONSTANTLY.

Male-bashing v. female forum domination MY *SS. Rath made some valid points in the beginning of this post and now look what it's becoming. "Well, yes, Rath, it's soooooooo true that women are sooooooooo awful and hurtful and should be sent to a desert island, only to be taken out once a month when we 'need' them, because *they* are always such attackers here, aren't they? Not us, though...stroke stroke, pat pat." Just...like...always.

I need a break too. Got to just get away from this idiocy.
Yep. I grow tired of it, too. In all of life, not just on this forum. I loved your colorful response.

Wow, this is an exceptionally ugly thread. Whatever happened to those pesky moderators who were always poking their noses into our business?

Unless the rules have changed drastically, you're not even supposed to post "I'm leaving" threads.

Maybe it's just not worth the effort.

Yea, I thought that too.

The melodramatic flurrish of it all from someone who no doubt considers himself no non-sense was extremely humorous.

Ach - it's just a cry for attention from the OP. Looks like his attention seeking tactics worked too. Along with all sorts of ego massage. I read through a couple of threads to see what the problem was. Couldn't see much 'man bashing'. Definitely no more than the woman bashing that goes on here. Just looks like some people disagreed with him and he couldn't accept that so now he's left. Oh well, life goes on.

LOL@ attention seeking, yes to be sure.

I keep coming back to this thread to see if he returns in full meltdown mode.

Some womens tendency is to run to someone like this and pat their head and tell them it will ALL be ok. I tend to like to watch them flail about like a fish on land.

I returned to CD after a brief hiatus to begin a new life, and I find that some of my potential targets are leaving.
But, I'm not really too upset because this forum and the world at large has never had any shortage of opinionated fools who need a good bashing.

All you self important male or female conservatives, liberals, moderates, nice guys, and idiots bring your inflated egos and sniveling self indulgences and get in line.

I'm back and I'm bad.
And I'm ready to Bash and Smash.
I will also cast many Pearls of Wisdom, but special tools will be required to extract them from the pigshiit.
