if there vote to ban skinny jeans i'd vote for it. Not because it's distracting for women but because they're ridiculous.

what if that guy was smelly, nerdy, fat, or otherwise not appealing? Somehow I doubt you'd stare. A horny teenage dude is unfazed by such things.

"whose desires can be every bit as intense as those of their brothers"

same appeal as boobs: soft, squishy, fun to grab.

Anyone can be pretty. As Helena Rubinstein said, "there are no ugly women, only lazy ones". It all comes down to money and time and has almost nothing to do with a woman's actual physical body or features. How much money can you spend on clothes, makeup, accessories, perfume, etc? With the right amount of…

read it, but I don't buy it. if women are clear with guys about what they want/don't want it will be easier for men to know what is acceptable/unacceptable. I think these ___ bitch "rules" stem from women's interpretations of the others' reactions to their behavior and their inability to deal with emotions. For…

There was another article on j-bel about when it is "okay" to talk to women. To paraphrase its point: in almost any situation when a guy might meet a girl he doesn't know, it's not ok to talk to her (not the subway, street, park, in the dark, etc). That's no longer about harassment, it's about people being afraid of…

Harassment in general is a problem everyone must deal with. Provoking harassment by dressing provocatively is your responsibility (e.g. your fault). Harassment in general is not an issue with "men" or "society" or how girls are taught to dress. It's human nature, and anyone can fall victim to it. Unfortunately…

"It's time to acknowledge that men are responsible for their own actions"

i don't know where you work, but in NYC if a customer gives sass to a waitress/bartender/postal clerk you will get sass right back or they call security and show you the door. That's how it works. You have to stand up for yourself. If you're a pushover people will push_you_over.

This guy seems harmless, albeit a douche. none of the women posted stories indicating they were in any physical danger whatsoever. No, imagining that something scary will happen doesn't count.

see previous comment:

wait, you went back to some stranger's place on the 1st date and it wasn't everything you thought it would be? Better blog about it and publicly shame him. Get on it!

60% of the time, it works EVERY time. like PUA skills.

Have you seen guys? Guys can be pretty ugly. visit the computer lab of any university at 1am if you don't believe me. I'm living proof.

yeah, that was a series of pretty dumb moves on your part. at least you got a good story and a blog post out of it.

True, there's a selection bias here. However, the techniques do work. For every single attention grabbing PUA douche sending out 1000 messages a day getting 1% of the dating pool to bang him, there are thousands of average frustrated chumps (aka nice guys) who get zero messages.

the real reason PUA movement is gaining steam is because dating is awkward, gender roles are blurred, and dudes are scared. it's refreshing for women when they find a guy that acts like a "man". You know, the way their daddy used to: confident, stubborn, insensitive. When you disrupt the standard dating power…
