Reasons why I wonder why I still like men:

[slobberknocker]

wow this is an interesting thread.

I think the blame should be put on those men who use and abuse women, which then in turn fucks them up for super studs like me.

I think it's probably all your fault.

I think that the point on this thread has been made, disregarding other nonsense: Men complain about men. Women complain about women. Some men are bad, some are good. Some women are bad, some are good.
Men disrespect women when they allow themselves to be disrespected, in the majority of cases.
Women also disrespect men....it just seems as though the men on this thread are more vocal about their women 'dilemmas'/ situations than vice versa.

Really, when I read a thread about 'banging some chick' or whatever, I am more embarassed for the girl and for women in general, than anything else.

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS THE WOMAN USER!

I think that the majority of women are nothing but a headache and trouble waiting to happen. I have never said "all women".

Actually, we're all nuts (men and women) you just have to find what level of crazy you can live with for a long period of time.

Exactly....you just gotta find the right kind of crazy.

My .02: just because there aren't a ton of threads on here by women bitching about men doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Women bitch about men just as much, IMO, just not on Elite.

That said, the whole "women are evil" thing gets a bit tiresome.

Yes many times and it's actually an awkward moment because while here on EF it appears that many men would like the woman to pay there are many that would not.

Simple rule to follow when in doubt: You ask you pay or at the very least offer up to split the bill.

When dating someone at least half the time I pay for dinner, lunch, movies etc - except in once case where my ex used to pat me on the head and say, "Sure honey, maybe next time." (He was much older than I and used to think my gesture was "cute" but ridiculous.)

I would like to think of a relationship as a partnership and you just split things, chores, monetary expense, oral sex, driving, food shopping and cleaning.

With the exception of only one dating scenario that did not allow me to pay on the first date. Actually - I snagged the bill from the waitress while he was in the boy's room and there was a huge protest (playful and fun actually) and when I wouldn't keep him money he was officially glued to my hip. (Not a bad thing)

Personally - I will never owe anyone anything ever - and that is not one of my better traits because it always gets in the way of a good relationship. As will the constant focus of "you better not make me pay too much before you put out for me."



My $2

Assuming what you are saying is true, that would make you one out of a million. Oh yea sure girls offer to pay, all the time they do ... they are just being nice, but once I say no i'll get it they are like ok. Thing is, the only reason I would wanna pay is that in my opinion it is the right thing to do, what bothers me is that woman take it for granted and they know the guy will say no and they take advantage of it and cover their asses by saying I offered to pay. Reality is if I let the girl pay, I would never see her again as I would be labeled as a jerk.

This is in majority of cases, ofcourse ... not all. With my girlfriend I have a very different relationship as she is 15years older than me and she knows I go to college and can't support her as much. Sadly, she is a girl that likes to go out a lot and eat out at least 2-3times a week and it makes it hard for me. I feel embarrased and I can't buy everything she wants cause I really don't have money and I think she understands that, but pretty much every penny I get gets spent on her. If she chooses to go out and eat I refuse to eat anything there so I wouldn't spend her money, but when I am the one taking her out I will pay for it. Somewhat complicated situation and very different than most as we aren't in the begining stages of the relationship, and it is more like my money is her money. Seriously, other than her, every girl i've known had expected me to pay.

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I am a good man, really I am, more so than 90% of men in general. I think that what men say here is totally just BS. When you're in front of a woman, every "normal" man acts completely different.

Superdave might be bragging about banging over wieght women, but it's all just part of his act. I'm sure he acts more himself when he is out with these plumbers.


AND AS FOR YOU SLOBBERKNOCKER, YOU ARE THE WOMAN USER! So I'll ask you kindly, please, don't squeeze the Charmine.
