Definitely. If it's 1 or 2 crappy relationships, that could be bad luck. When it's all of them, the problem is you.

Gotta be wary of the super shallow ones, they're the most likely to cheat, or to just disrespect you in any number of ways.

It frustrates me to no end when I see female friends dismiss guys because they don't make a ton of money, or they're not tall enough, or conventionally attractive enough.

I know right? She lays out a long list of demands. It's all about what she needs.

Someone doesn't know how averages work. It's not rocket science you know.

You're whining because there aren't enough conventionally attractive guys for you?

Absolutely. But some people want to use ratings systems like this as a crutch against finding someone compatible. They cry and whine that no one is good enough for them because no one meets their checklist of demands that someone be x tall, make at least x in salary, possess X things, and must be conventionally…

Let's face it, one of the biggest issues here is that once you turn 30, most of the good ones are already taken. So if you're still single you're left with women like Saraemcee who have way too much personal baggage that they want to blame on everyone else and shitty personalities. Who wants a partner that is going to…

It's not a matter of encouraging people to solely stand up to some creep being offensive, it's a matter of having more people stand up to such assholes to show that what they're doing isn't socially acceptable.

No sane person I know of wants to do away with "positive masculinity."

Be careful, that kind of talk will get you accused of being an MRA by the crazies, because encouraging positive masculinity is only something an MRA would want to do!

As others have said, it's the idea that the only way a guy would behave in this way and defend women is if he wanted them to himself/to sleep with them. It's a toxic idea promoted by both MRAs and many women here, who don't believe that men are capable of actually doing the right thing. And in the process, both sets…

Sorry if it seemed like I was disagreeing, I absolutely agree, was just adding that it would certainly be nice if some justice was served.

Very well said. The crazies will just accuse you of being an MRA for daring to disagree. But absolutely. It's a shame this guy had to stand up to the attackers alone, and it's only after he had to be hospitalized that people had his back.

This was assault, they need to be charged and convicted.

"So when a man is being and doing what a real man should be and do"

And you're exactly the kind of person I'm talking about. Anyone who thinks that the guy that got beaten up is representative of what men should really be about must be some MRA. Guy arguing against the belief that men can't stand up to misogynists? Must be an MRA!

Not the time or place? I think when hypocrites demonstrate the problems with their own worldview, that's exactly the time and place.

Nope. Haven't taken anything personally. Just pointing out that you can't say that men promote and condone the behavior of the catcalling scumbags in one breath, and then express sorrow for the guy standing up to them in another. It's the guy standing up to them that's doing what guys should be doing. That's what…
