At work the other day, "I'm so sexy" started playing, and one of the cooks said "hah, omg this song is so GAY!" He went on for a little while, moving onto the music video, and commented on the fact that it was "even gayer."

I have a strong suspicion he has no clue that the members of Right Said Fred are extremely gay (literally), and could hardly help myself from giggling. :lol:

edit: one member is gay rather, but still ::p:

That sounds like the same mental health system I've wisely avoided for 30 years. If you don't respond to a pep talk, you get medicated into silence and/or locked up. Smile! ...or else...

I was going to stay at home during the college years, but the way I'm treated here is just too much. I could understand if I was an obnoxious houseguest or I was here against their will, but I'm not.

I don't really care how broke I am, how many of what kind of jobs I have to work, or how little time I have to sleep, leaving is now #1 priority. I can't even have my own safe space where things aren't taken when I'm away, like I'm a child or an animal rather than an adult.

Not even sure I want to stay in touch at this point.

Sometimes we can be content with doing absolutely nothing. I hope you're enjoying the peace. :thumbup:

Thinking about making a thread on dating, nice guys, being in the friend zone and how a lot of women tend to go for bastards... or at least seemingly so...

Why? Because I read in a psychology magazine today about why kindness is not attractive and why being a 'bad boy' is - by a woman author.

Now...the tricky part is - can I get away with doing so without being accused by the SPW community of being a bitter, woman hating generalist who is implying that girls make poor choices and is upset cause he can't get a girlfriend as well as being accused of 'bringing up tired old topics' - or can I get away with it...

Hmmm...

the mind ponders....risky...so risky.... is it worth being ostracized...

I guess we will find out...

Place your bets... NOW...

^ You won't be ostracized as long as you debate peacefully, don't generalize, have an open mind and consider what the people posting have to say.

Maybe writing the stuff you read in that magazine will help, so people will know where you got the info from, an form their opinions on it instead of accusing you of thinking like that :)

I know you aren't a bad guy, but if you plan on making a thread like that, be ready to get certain... derpy posts.

I hope I made sense. I'm sleep deprived so I can't think straight.

More about observations and non accusatory conclusions rather than questions. I should have bought the magazine - although I did take a photo of one of the pages in the store I was at. I certainly am not a generalist, although it is a very easy trap that a lot of us can fall into - particularly when you see the same patterns exhibited over and over again. The problem with gender based threads is that - the messages that are sent out imply obligation, unfairness, defensiveness, misinterpretation, a questioning of ones judgement and freedom of choice - totally understandable why they are such difficult topics to talk about naturally. It is frustrating to see such a paradox when it comes to relationships. I am quite keen to define what a 'nice guy' truly is and to remove the stigma attached to the term - I would also quite like to discuss when 'nice guys' are not nice and explain the difference between the two and why 'bad boys' seem to get more attention - and how one falls into the 'friend zone' and why a man goes there.

Yep I am using a bunch of terms that have been used over and over again for the same old topics - quite frankly, I don't really care if I would come across as immature or bitter - especially if its from the perspective of other males who try to side up with females about the issue.

But who knows - maybe I will just keep my thoughts to myself.

I'm not sure this author, despite being female, is the ultimate authority on what women find attractive.

I do believe women like a bit of mischievousness in their men, but I still don't believe they like "jerks". There's a very discernible difference there.

I'm a pushover (shamefully) and I've had several girls interested in me, including one potential one now, so take that as you will.

Well - I don't think anyone is the ultimate authority on anything (except maybe me of course... I kid I kid... *cough*) but the article was written by a female psychologist in a magazine psychology today (published in the UK) I think much of human experience is completely subjective to the individual experiencing it) I neither - would go as far to say that women like 'jerks' in fact their are a few instances that I have seen where women go for gentle and kind men, for example Pookah. However - what bugs me the most in the misinterpretation that if someone is labelled as 'nice' then there is an association with insecurity, passive aggressiveness and manipulation.... where as domineering men and jerk type behaviour seem more attractive (and I have first hand experience of witnessing this - as I have tried to get a real life understanding of this peculiar phenomena) But I am getting ahead of myself. I should probably place these thoughts into some kind of logical argument. I have also spent quite a lot of time on heartlessbitches.com too - some I agree with, some I dont.

heartlessbitches.com - well, that's an interesting site. :giggle:

I think being nice is a quality women like in men, but simply "being nice" isn't enough if you can't do anything with it. You are quite compassionate yourself, and I'm sure you'd treat your girl like a princess, but it's getting past that step. I don't think any man has gone up to a woman and said, "I'm a really nice guy, so therefore we should date." What a world it would be if that was possible! :D

The domineering personalities draw more attention to themselves, but that doesn't mean you can't get women to like you, too. I think you do enough as it is: meeting lots of girls, on dating websites, doing charitable things (the busking one), and so on. What you need is patience and the realisation that you're worth it...because you are. :perfect:

So anyway. I guess we should totally talk about guy stuff now that we've got the sappy part out of the way. How about that UFC? Did you see the boobies on that girl? Let's order a steak and talk about weightlifting.
