I am personally going to ban every man, yes.

yes! I went to a huge gay party in Paris (underground thing not really known by straight guys) and was surrounded by a literal sea of oiled six packs and leather booty shorts and beautifully chiseled faces and not one bothered me. I got some compliments on my dress and what not but I was really blown away that it…

There really is no sensitive and polite way to tell someone they're a complete moron who isn't worth your time.

Who is 'us.' Have I expressed some solidarity with you?

I'm not *missing* the point. I'm dismissing it. But please, mansplain some more.

Listen, I'm a brown person so I get that dick faces will take any example of bad behavior from a single member of a (usually oppressed) subgroup and say 'SEE I TOLD U BLACKS ARE CRIMINALS.' But I 100% don't care. Anyone who wants to dismiss the idea of equality between the sexes based on someone saying 'dudes are the…

Nah, dudes are the fucking worst.

Men actually respond to it very well in my experience because the hardest part for them is often trying to figure out how to strike up a conversation. Once I was being hit on by a guy, I stopped him mid-pitch and asked him to tap another guy—one who had been sneaking peeks at me throughout the night, but hadn't…

Why, are you interested in sniffing them?

This is very culturally subjective. I live in Paris and it's true that French and Italian women will almost never approach a guy, even ones my age (twenties). But when I lived in New York my friends regularly picked up guys.

Okay so have we decided, yet, how to tell the difference from radical vanity ('selfie-love!' *gag*) and narcissism? Is it based on how conventionally attractive the person is? Or is it about intent? Is there a difference?

Dudes are the fucking worst. Glad you're safe.

God I hate when guys approach me. It has been done successfully very very few times. I'd rather approach them myself because I feel I have more control over the situation and it's not as threatening as being 'talked at' by a stranger. I'm surprised more women don't feel the same, really.

I actually sort of asked my husband and he later admitted to being disappointed he didn't get the chance to propose. I think a lot of men expect they'll be the ones to do it and prepare accordingly.

and craigslist missed connections, which has plenty of women and men, at least the New York version

wait he called your vagina a mouth or are you talking about blow jobs during period sex

Thanks for this!! It's awesome. I'm still looking, definitely.

No, no. It's in the word choice, the tone and construction. I spend a good amount of time chaining men to their stoves and lecturing them about how to properly address 'Me', so maybe I'm biased but yeah it read that way to me.

Weird I also read him as male (he is) but only realized after you pointed it out that there was no indication of gender in the post.

Haha, yes this read exactly like one of mine, honestly. I'm sure she appreciates how attentive you are.
