Yep, being a woman is hard, and then menopause is supposed to be some king of consolation prize? not looking forward to that.
mg: I'm enjoying a little PMS right now myself, felt like crying all day and stabbing my husband in the face. (why can't we spell pewberty but we can talk about stabbing someone in the face? Weird world.)

LoL I know- wow! The face is always temptin' me ...just to think that men are the ones who start all of the wars, imagine if they had to deal what we had to deal with every month-maybe that would help them not be such war mongers to begin with?
We have to quell all of of those feelings and be kind, loving peaceful beings when our insides are raging with violence. I kinda think women are amazing after being one for awhile now. Took me awhile to appreciate myself though. I have had a lot of self hate to deal with.
Menopause no!!!! don't remind me. :kickingmyself:

Our work is going have a "love in". A forum where all staff have to spend a couple of days together away from home. 7-8 hours of spending time with the people I work with is enough for me, and then I long for alone time. That is my space to stay sane. The thought of co-habiting with strangers makes me feel ill, sharing the same dining room, perhaps having to share a room with someone! I don't want to do this, what an ordeal.

You want to know how I got these scars?
Oh gawd.. Mate I feel for ya.
Seriously, that would suck. Big time.
I'm the same. Spending the working day with these ppl is more than enough.

Lav and Molly , c'mon guys... It's not cool to generalise/ be sexist. I doubt any of the men on this site have started any wars, and we as men have to deal with our own issues. We may not get PMS yet men have the highest suicide rates.
Women may not start wars but they do some horrific things nonetheless, such as infanticide.
Yet I doubt any of you have committed such an atrocity. So you see how stupid I would sound if I said 'all women are baby killers'.
I will also say (though you probably won't understand because of the nature of my point) men have to deal with testosterone flowing through our veins. It's part of us, it makes us male, and by it's very nature makes us aggressive.
Every day.
Yet we now live in a world were men are told we can't accept being aggressive dominant males. We have to be the opposite of what our genes set us out to be.
Men do good and bad.
So do women.

Cheers Pug, I keep asking why, why, why? Do they have home lives they want to escape by having work love-ins?

I need a job.
Do you have a degree? Is there any special area you want to work with?
Use those to limit your search. If it's still too broad, then pick whatever is available.
I don't know what your situation is exactly, but I like this quote:
"Stop looking for the "right" career, and start looking for a job. Any job. Forget about what you like. Focus on what's available. Get yourself hired. Show up early. Stay late. Volunteer for the scut work. Become indispensable. You can always quit later, and be no worse off than you are today.
But don't waste another year looking for a career that doesn't exist. And most of all, stop worrying about your happiness. Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that's consistent with those beliefs."

I agree, not all men are violent ****s. My husband is a very gentle man. Of the two of us I am way more assertive- but it doesn't stop me from wanting to stab him in the face from time to time (of course I'm joking when I say that because even when I'm mad, I love him.)
The facts are that there are a lot of men out there that are aggressive and scary. And while I appreciate your comparison to women who kill babies, I'm sure you will find that the instances of baby killings are lower than violent crimes (such as rape) perpetrated by violent men. Women are always at a physical disadvantage. We grow up in fear of male counterparts. We are taught to never walk alone at night, to carry mace, to live in fear of the boogie man- because if we aren't careful we could be victimized. It's scary. All guys may not be violent, and I am well aware that they aren't. I am lucky enough to have had a lot of great men in my life, but there are enough out there to make it a real threat.
You have to also accept that people's views are shaped by experience. You can't ask someone to NOT feel what they feel simply because it's not PC. If a person is bit by a dog, isn't it understanding that they might fear dogs, even if all dogs don't bite?
While I think it's reasonable for you to expect that someone would be able to judge you on your own actions only, you have to accept that there has been emotional damage done to some people, their views have been skewed by circumstance, and the best thing you can do as a male is to continue to show us your best side. Be the sweetest guy you can. You will help women see that there are good guys out there.
I would also like to note that there has been a lot of generalization on these boards about women too. I just read one yesterday about how "girls flake all the time" and I didn't say anything because while all women don't flake out all of the time, some do, and maybe it would help guys to think "hey, if she flakes out, don't take it personally, some women do that." On the same lines women have to think "Some men date rape people, be prepared for that."
Reality isn't always ideal.

This is indeed a sexist statement, and against the forum rules.
It is also demonstrably false.
Wars, as a rule, are started by the leaders. Most leaders have historically been men (for sexist reasons), therefor most wars have been started by men.
If you take the time to study up on the history of female leaders, you will see plenty of blood and conquest.
The gender war is much like the war on drugs or the war on terror. It has no winners and no end.
Please try not to contribute to it.
Yep.
I saw that as well, and it bothered me a bit.
When it comes to online dating, it's easier for either men or women to simply stop communicating if they've decided there's some sort of deal breaker or even just a lack of chemistry with whomever they're talking to. Or if a personal problem comes up, or anything else.
I've definitely just stopped talking to women on dating sites before and not given any explanation.
