I saw "The 40 Year old Virgin" in the theatres when it came out, and I remember at one point Steve Carrol's character, the forty year old virgin, says "hey, I respect women! I respect them so much, I don't even talk to them!" and people in the theatre laughed....but I didn't, because that is how I always felt.
I am sorry, but I am one man who feels that the best way for a man to respect women is just to please, LEAVE THEM ALONE. I do not talk to woman socially, do not go to bars and go up to some woman who I do not know (the nerve of some guys) and do not bother them. I figure that they just want to be left alone. How is that not good wisdom, especially if you, like me, are not an attractive man (short, bad skin, out of shape etc) and know, honestly, that no woman wants to be bothered by the likes of you?
I for one am of the opinion that the best way to show one's respect for women is to leave them alone. That is the philosophy I have followed my whole life and I have never angered any women or made any woman uncomfortable in my entire life as a result. I would say that that qualifies me as a "good man".
EDIT: I do not mean "never, under any circumstances" talk to women, but what I mean is in the social, flirty way. If the cashier at the bank is a female than of course I will talk to her or a female co-worker. However, when it comes to females, it is best to leave it at business and nothing more.
Why should anyone care if you are a good man if you are not going to talk to a woman socially? Do you want that as your epitaph or something?
flirting is just a euphemism for something else: SEXUAL HARASSMENT. It's not okay at the workplace and it should not be okay in bars or clubs or any other social event. Women diserve better than to be sexually harassed everytime they go to a nightclub or a bar or a party or something.
Yes, she came up to me, talking to me, and I told her to go to hell, called her fat (which she wasn't, but women hate to hear that), and I think she went to the ladie's room to cry...and I am still find it funny.
BUT, I never said I was rebuffed by women! I just said that it was a preemptive paypack against any future possible rejection, and that I was simply defending myself. That woman was up to no good.
I do not talk to women, and I would like women to not talk to me either. Simple as that.
Hi victorianpunk,
Well that does ring of some forms of Gnosticism. I always figured cold season was the best. A thick layer of mucus stands between the good Gnostic and the taste of the nasty food of the corporeal world. Foul moods also keep one from becoming despoiled from the flesh.
It is your choice, but I love flirting. It is fun and can be done in a respectful way.
