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.

So far I have read from your other threads:
That you have no chance with women because you are only 5'2", that you hate kids but love rats and now that you stay away from women entirely.

Are you really surprised that you are 28 and girlfriendless, as you put it here: //www.city-data.com/forum/relat...-stand-37.html

Victorianpunk, please refresh my memory. I remember a post from a guy who said a woman once approached him in a bar, and he insulted her and angrily told her to leave him alone. He gloated later on this board that it was nice to turn the tables on women for once, because he had been frequently rebuffed and ignored by women.

I remember the post but not the poster. Was that you?

No, it is not possible for a man to talk to women in such a manner without making them feel uncomfortable. Doing so is disrespectful to women. One can talk to them professionally, yes, but the whole "flirting" thing always makes women feel uncomfortable and is a morally and ethically awful thing to do.
