I hear 'bromance' I think 'secretly giving each other brojobs'

I fought those notions in my early 20s and just went ahead and pursued the guys I wanted to pursue, and you're right: we are pretty heavily socialized to think of guys as pursuers and women as the pursued. I had so little luck—even with the dudes who were interested in me!—because I was messing up the social order by…

You have a good point, but I think there's more to it than that, as well. For a while I was going on a lot of first dates and I wasn't able to pick up or split the dinner check on a single date without a drawn-out argument. Men say they want many things in the dating world to be more equal in theory, but they often…

Could men maybe kick it off with women that they know? Women they know who are single, and interested in dating, and have similar interests as them? In other words, can men get to know women as people, by getting to know friends of friends, and then pursue a woman who might actually be a good match for them, and not…

BOOM!

Yes altogether. I told my spouse the other day that women don't often respond nicely to benign compliments because there is a 50/50 shot that the next words out of dude's mouth are going to be offensive as fuck, and we're left feeling stupid that we allowed our nice tendencies to make us vulnerable to that crap. So…

Ha ha ha! Silly women, thinking their value could possibly be based on something such as administrative skills or leadership and certainly not anything other than their appearance!

Not so attractive as to be intimidating, but truly attractive.

Fat white guys are the absolute worst when it comes to judging women's looks.

it's always the ugliest of ugly troll men that criticize women's looks.

Have you ever noticed that its always the balding, saggy, middle aged schlub of a guy who elects himself the arbiter of female beauty?

He's lucky men in politics aren't subject to the same sexist beauty-contest bullshit that women in politics are, otherwise his repulsive pig-looking ass never would have had a shot.

Please tell me I'm not the only one noticing the irony of this man calling somebody else "ugly."

If only sexy women had interesting things to say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Penélope Cruz lifts her perfect eyebrows from her bottomless brown eyes

And nobody understands words that coming out of her mouth.

Well at least she looks amazing in the pictures.
