It's good for their egos. It places the blame out there, not only among one or a few, but on the whole lot. The ego likes that because it assures itself that "nothing could ever be wrong with me, they are the problem." And that is how it defends itself from rejections.

There we will pay our own ways for everything. There we will freely give each other emotionless sex. There we will never ask each other if we look fat. There we will never again have to smell gingerbread scented candles. There we will never again be teased by cleavage. There we will never again have to be asked what we are thinking.

We will be free from the bonds of manscaping. We will be free to smell like armpit as we please. We will be free to have bromances and brodowns and brodates without being snickered at. We will be free from ever having to wear a stupid Christmas sweater, unless of course we want to.

I have a dream that one day all men can spend their leisure time as they please without being accused of being selfish. I have a dream that one day all men can solve their disputes with physical violence without being called barbarians. I have a dream that one day we will raise monkeys as our children.

All that sounds pretty good, huh ladies? Bet you wish you treated us better now.
How does it sound to YOU?

I also know several guys who are very nice, sweet, etc, yet consistently end up with nut jobs.
I don't know how do you know the girls are crazy? Have you witnessed that they are nuts? I think a lot of guys will just blame their failed relationships and say the girl was "crazy." There are two sides to every story. Are you just listening to a bunch of guys sob stories and taking their word for it?

Also crazy is subjective. I consider spanking to be crazy. Obviously spankers aren't crazy.

This is so funny because I was going to say the same thing about men!

Unfortunately, I had a bad relationship with one who exhibited these traits - people like that give women a bad rep, as I'm sure men who exhibit callous and other nasty behavior do for us guys.

The other 50% have either a heart of gold, are sweet, nice, "normal", treat others like they want to be treated - just a pleasure to be around. I consider myself fortunate - I married a woman who exhibits all of these traits.

I think there are some men who are justified in their bitterness towards women, because let's face it... they did encounter women who were rotten human beings.

Likewise there are many women with issues towards men, including anger and mistrust and fear, because they came across abusive, dishonest, and conniving human beings who were... men.

One woman I know who is 31 is quite attractive. Has a good job, is nice, and I'll be blunt, is hot. A chest no man would dislike. But I was warned not to ask her out by a woman who knows her well. The reason? "She's complex." She has issues from her past, including being treated like trash by a former boyfriend in her 20s, which has made her emotionally very volatile, and she struggles to this day with fear of men. She doesn't HATE men, but if she told me that this girl can't bring herself to trust men, I can't wholly blame her.

Likewise, men who got screwed over by, backstabbed, betrayed, lied to, and had their finances ruined by gold-digging b/tches... can you really blame them?

An Italian-American grandmother operated a drycleaner I used to go to many years ago. She managed the business with her son, who was in his early 40s. I chatted up with her once, and she said he was divorced. The wife was nice, everybody was happy, the marriage was good, until the wife woke up one day realizing she liked women better than men and filed for divorce. How can a man like the son not be a bit bitter towards women, even if it was just one twisted and warped individual he had the terrible luck of marrying and being deceived by?

Hey, I'll admit it. I am more cynical and jaded now than when I was at the age of 22. Some women did hurt me and treat me unfairly. But I cannot let that poison my attitude towards NEW women I meet.

I'm 36 turning 37 this fall, and do wish to settle down, and it's frustrating when a new woman I meet (for dating) turns out to be incompatible. But such is the game. Better to try and to keep trying than not to try at all and to stew in self-pity.

In the end... if we were all a bit less selfish, a bit more compassionate, a bit more willing to be flexible and to compromise... maybe it'd be a better world. But we're all rotten and corrupt, so this isn't gonna get better.

That's it, everything I do today will be way passionate and over dramatic, even if I'm just BSing. Everything will be the greatest or worst thing ever.

By the way that combination of 3 smileys is the greatest thing ever. GTE!!
