You didn't explicitly compare the two, true, but you used them as justification for why your joke was worth posting, and not just brainless and mean. I (think) you're a law talking guy, so I'll put it this way: the difference between those works and a jokey comment is not a difference of degree of quality, it's a…
Yeah, your lame joke was on the level of Catch-22 and Dr. Strangelove. I know your sycophantic +1 buddies might have given you a big ego, but even you have to admit that's a dumb comparison to make.
I was once in a bar with my boyfriend and while we where away from each other, these guys where really creepy towards me, they kept trying to touch me and one tried to kiss my neck. When me and my boyfriend left, I started to cry because I felt horrible about those guys, and being pretty drunk, I was very emotional. …
I hate soft eyes. Look at me normally, please. I am not a teddy bear.
This treads on dangerous territory for me. My most recent ex was like this and at first it was endearing because I'd never have anyone care about me so much (My previous boyfriend had tried to abandon me in an ER and the one before that forgot my birthday.) Eventually it started to become sinister and controlling. …
This is somewhat relevant here: a truly fascinating look by the NYT at how we deal with psychopaths and diagnosing children. There are studies that show you can see signs of psychopathic tendencies in kids as young as 3, but there has also been a general consensus that since we consider psychopathy to be basically an…
Gay men can be incredibly misogynistic, but straight women often treat them like little accessories. Talking about a gay privilege in this context seems disingenuous unless you're referring to the way gay cis voices dominate the LGBT discussion.
Dude.
Well, yeah - obviously my ancestors were genocidal land-stealing thugs and my husband's people scared all of the Germans out of Bushwick... but I'm not sure that "circle of life" is all there is to say to class warfare.
This is the only possible adult, mature way to behave.
?? I think it's weird that you routinely excluded attractive women from your possible friends list. It doesn't seem like you were evaluating them as people, but rather whether or not they could satisfy your boner. If they could, then no use being friends with them because some day you might want to fuck them and those…
Just to provide another perspective: I’ve been friends with women I find attractive. It’s never been a big deal. I’m attracted to lots of women, so I feel like I would be shooting myself in the foot to rule them out as friends. Once you get over the whole whiny, teenage, emo “Oh, woe is me” phase and stop feeling…
Yes, but one thing about wild game is, there isn't enough of it to sustain everyone. The passenger pigeon was, by all accounts, a very tasty bird. Once.
You don't think that it is kind of weird that the factors that you find dateable and friendable don't overlap? I mean, if you wanted to date them and they didn't reciprocate, why not reach out in actual, and unfeigned, friendship?
@ mike2k: I would just like to point out that there are 2 instances of the letters "misogyn" on this page and both of them are from you. You're arguing against something nobody said.
Alternately, can we call it "bonezoning" because I feel like it's catchier and a little more accurate.
For women, it goes like this. "Oh wait, you've only pretending to be my friend and care about me all these months/years? Really you were seething with resentment because I was dating other men, and weren't being nice because you're a good person, but because you thought I would blow you as thanks? And even though I…
It's fine to be sad and upset. It's not fine to vilify someone for wanting one kind of relationship with you but not another, especially if the other person has been clear and you have not.
But why would you possibly want to be friends with a woman (if she's attractive), lol?
