we hate you too, damien.

what, go for losers? like some guy who comes up with something so interesting as 'girls are dumb' to write about?

i only date guys who have a brain, a good sense of humor, and who i'm attracted to.

i do agree somewhat that the majority of the female population is somewhat malicious, but theres a lot of good females too.

then again the same goes for men too.

take my mom for instance, manipulates her way through everything. at work, at home, with me, with my dad, with cops, you name it.

maybe its just a bad impression.

Posted by solid on Jan. 24 2001,18:08

i have to say that things are getting a bit unfair for men, in the recent years.

one thing that ive noticed is how the commercials are changing.
at first it was a harmless comment towards the men that was just a LITTLE ITTY BITTY bad, and now its just downward rude.

of course, that was when i was watching tv so i have no idea what goes on now.

that's exactly why I hate them.

take my friend Marie. (not her real name. blah blah blah.) she is beautiful, a hell of a lot of fun to be around, and a wonderful person in general. her boyfriend always treats her like she's a "typical" woman - you know the stereotype - controlling and manipulative and vindicitive and always making others feel bad. if she says anything to him that's even SLIGHTLY suspicious sounding he gets all pissed off about how "controlling" she is and goes home. this girl is gorgeous - 5' 6", 120lbs, works out 4 days a week - but he only wants to have sex with her at most once a week. when she tries to initiate sex he gets pissed and says "why does our whole relationship have to be about sex?" he flakes on her all the time, but gets pissed off when she hangs out with ME when he flakes - he seriously thinks a "good" girlfriend should sit at home and "watch tv or something" if her guy can't come over that night.

this girl calls me 3-4 times a day, either to bitch about him or just because she misses me. I'm expected to always look out for her, take care of her when she gets sick, give her sympathy when she's sad, go out to dinner with her, etc. Other than pissing me off because she keeps going out with a retard that makes her feel bad about herself, she's really good to me, pretty much giving back what I give her.

being a guy and all, I am of course wholeheartedly in love with this girl, and by the way she treats me it really seems like she's in love with me too. the one time I brought up us being together she said "no, what if we broke up, I couldn't handle that" and then got all scared that we weren't going to be friends any more, to the point of crying and saying "please don't stop being my friend because of this."

wtf??? that is why I think girls are dumb, and why I hate them.

Posted by darksol on Jan. 24 2001,23:45

I will agree that most girls i know are like that. There are a few exceptions, sadly not near enough, but the same also goes for males too though. damien, that story is ,sadly, way to common. People are stupid, what can i say? but one would assume that a girls "want to be loved" would not overcome a girls common sense and shove that bastard away. i cant explain this, well i guess i could, but thats not the point. girls are stupid, guys are assholes.

Be glad for what you have, you asshole.

She's obviously afraid of being in love with someone because she's afraid of breaking up, and that would mean she would lose something she loves, so she's in a relationship with someone who she doesn't like at all, and staying close friends with the person she really does care about.

Jesus, I WISH I were in a situation where a girl liked me and cared about me that much. You spoiled little dick.

ah, darksol, you understand. i get pretty pissed off about how guys are, too. but i take how girls are more personally, for obvious reasons.

kuru and ozymandias, you guys need < some of this. >

ozy, if you're going to quote me, can you actually quote my words instead of paraphrasing me, and then attacking your paraphrasation? (is that a word?) I didn't say all women suck. I said "I think girls are dumb, and I hate them." - which is pretty obviously tongue in cheek, if you ask me.

kuru, I'm not being a complete dick to her!!! wtf!!! can't a guy be irritated with someone without being thought of as a "complete dick?" Seriously. I see this kind of situation all the time, and I simply don't get it... a cool girl with a shitty boyfriend and a really good boy friend that she rejects in the end because she's afraid. It happens to my friends, I read about it all the time here on detnet, and it aggravates me that people are such cowards.

Posted by mqa on Jan. 25 2001,04:11

damien: i know EXACTLY how you feel. i have a very similar situation. i have recited the phrase "girls are stupid" at least once a day since. it really pisses me off. ask darksol, he knows.

thanks again, darksol & mqa. i am having one of those weeks that makes me wish I had a treehouse with "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" on the outside, and maybe some dirt clods to throw. you understand.

of COURSE I don't really, truly hate girls or think they're all dumb. i say things like that because i have a sense of humor. and "not getting it together" is a common feature of ALL the chicks I know. And all the men, too, but I don't care about them as much.

Yes, I am better than everyone... well, not really, but I enjoy the delusion. :P

Posted by Casper on Jan. 25 2001,15:20

The one thing that I can't understand is why the nicest, most beautiful girl I know has the boyfriend from hell, who's a total asshole, controls her, and generally treats her like a piece of shit instead of worshipping her like a goddess, and for some reason I can't understand, she feels like she's in love with this fuck. All I can say is that she'd be a lot happier with me, and I'd be a lot happier with her. The sheer logistics of it are mind boggling.

I believe that damien does not really mean he hates all girls.....Its just that I, and damien of course, see this kind of situation happening at a frightening rate. If thist kind of thing did not happen then he wouldnt say it. So why shouldnt we base our opinions off of the only example we see(this is conjecture that this is actually what we believe and thats what we only see)? In truth we do see the other type, but its far and few between so its almost a basic expectation that it would happen. its almost like if when you were young and a few dogs attacked you (this is a story of me)then you would automatically belive that most dogs are bad and scary. Its the same thing here.

ok ok ok, while normally i condone the hatred of females... i only condone it for what they are.

so if he means he only hates those bitchy, uptight, mall chickie type ones that will RUN YOU OVER to get to the nearest old navy sale, then i'm all with him.

my college was 80\% female, and because of that most of the ladies were single... made 'em extra friendly. college ruled for that very reason.

kuru, i usually hate bitchy, uptight mallrats, which Marie definately is - if there's a sale at Macy's she is there - but she's also a bartender, which makes up for that. but she's not a bitch to me, and when she is I tell her to fuck off and she stops, which is a good trait for a person to have. and she totally cares about me. which is awesome, but annoying, because she has a boyfriend, and quite frankly I'd be much happier if I was sleeping with her instead of some other dude. and she probably would be too, but she's stubborn - and no I'm not a dick about it at all. I don't say much about it. I just tell her she's adorable.

AH!! fuck. situations like this make me feel stupid. which I'm probably not, it's probably cute or something, but still - it makes me want to throw shit.

i know exactly how you feel. and you also knew that someone would reply something like this. and so did everyone else. why do we sometimes talk just to hear the result we already knew?

Posted by pengu1nn on Jan. 26 2001,05:41

i can see Ozymandias' point, i can see satans point (

), but i can't see where the hell kuru is coming from? i don't think damien hates girls, and don't know why kuru decided to go after him for that, instead of giving her usual "somewhat understanding" advice about girls. kuru i must say i have lost confidence in you, you are the link these guys have to the female mind, yet you refuse to give help

Posted by kuru on Jan. 26 2001,09:15

because sometimes we want our feelings confirmed by an independent source.

it is cute. that doesn't mean it's bad. bartender chicks can be pretty cool, as long as like bartender dudes, they know what they're doing and aren't there to flirt.

with most of my male friends, there are no sexual feelings. sometimes, there are. and that makes things really hard. i have one friend who we've both had a lot of confusing feelings toward each other which all end in 'a romantic relationship would never work' but it does rip at the heart when either of us is going out with someone else.

i usually avoid things like this, and the crew definitely sees me as more like a dude than a chick, so it works out well. though they seem to take into deep account my reaction to any girl they date. as one bud says 'i should know by now that if you don't like her, it won't work out.'

to remind me that i have disliked his last 3 girlfriends, and all of them have dumped him.

good ol' "friends with feelings." I will never quite understand what makes people think a "romantic" relationship wouldn't work in that situation. I don't care WHAT you label that sort of friendship - going out, just friends, friends with feelings, friends that fuck - it seems to me that if you & someone else have romantic feelings for each other, you HAVE a romantic relationship with that person, and as long as the two of you are getting along it IS working.

is it that you think the whole friendship could fall apart if you don't go off and fuck other people? that's what Marie thinks. as if suddenly we're both going to magically change into two different people that hate each other.

Posted by kuru on Jan. 29 2001,19:03

this 'friend' and i have known each other for over 3 years. he's been there through the absolute darkest times of my life that i won't get into here, and he's been there for the best of times.

at one point, things did start getting romantic, and it just didn't work. we're not romantically compatible, there's no spark, i don't know. i love the guy, and always will, but i know he's not the one for me. there was a point where we both wished like anything that we could feel 'that way' about each other, but we didn't.

so i guess that's how it is, friends with feelings, or whatever. or at least, that's what i meant.

Being "friends with feelings" with someone, esp. when they're dating someone else, can really suck. I've been there, and my brother was totally screwed over for like 4, 5 years by the love of his life b/c she was afraid that if they started dating it would ruin their friendship. Meanwhile she spend virtually ALL of her time with him, instead of her man of the moment. He finally told her off, and she ended up moving out of the state to marry some other dude. And I got to play counselor to a guy 7 years older than me.

i've been thinkin about this for a while, and i guess i need to vent. seems a boring night job will do that.

i think that the worst position to be in is what happened with the friend i was talking about before.

he and i were friends for over 2 years when he met this girl and they started dating. he had already pulled me out of the worst emtoional shithole i'd ever been in, and without the dude, i would be dead. from the day they started dating though, she flat out told him not to be discussing anything 'heavy' with me. that all his emotional issues were now for her to deal with. she went so far as to tell me to stay away from him and stop 'crying on his shoulder.'

this chick was telling me to turn someone who was like *family* to me and start treating him like he was the pizza delivery guy.

it wasn't easy, cause i couldn't turn my back on someone who saved my life (i'm not going into how he did), nor did i want to, but i wanted her to know that i wasn't trying to keep him from being close to her.

after a couple of months, she told him to choose. he could either be my friend or her boyfriend. he refused to choose and said he wanted both, so she dumped him.

it's been around a year since they broke up, but i still feel shitty about it all. this dude is my friend, closer than family, and that cost him a girlfriend. maybe i should have walked away when she asked me to, i don't know. it's probably unfair that he goes into every relationshp the same way i do now. it's 'this is me, this is my best friend. we're a package deal. you can date me, but you have to accept that this friend means as much to me as family, maybe more.'

i'm probably just rambling, i know i'm tired and can barely think. i owe this guy for saving my life, for listening to me puke and cry 1500 miles away and never hanging up. i owe him for proving to me at a time that i thought there was no such thing as a decent human being that i was wrong. i can't pay back what my friend did for me, ever. but, and if this sounds bitchy, too bad, things like that form bonds between people that nobody should be fucking with. i know i'll never trample over that bond, that gratefulness, for some guy i date.

g is my best friend, he saved my life, and he's a part-and-parcel deal with me. and any guy i date should realize that my loyalty to g is a *good* thing. it says 'i won't fuck over the people i care about.'

ok. i'm done. i'm gonna try to get through the rest of work without tears.

that's cool that he stood up for your friendship. it's a rare thing - even my best bud gives his girlfriend mad priority over me - I could be on the virge of suicide, and if his girlfriend got a paper cut he'd dash off to make sure she was okay. but i had a friend stick up for me once - let's call her td - one night, when he started asking too many questions about me, td told her boyfriend that she loved me and that was that, he could accept that or not, but there was no way in hell she was going to change her relationship with me just to satisfy him. Fortunately he gave in, and while he and I aren't great friends (not much in common, really) we can get along without problems. Of course I almost never talk to her anymore, either.

As for Marie, her boyfriend has suddenly taken a renewed interest in her. Which means I haven't seen her or talked to her in over a week - she thinks it's wrong to talk to some guy your boyfriend is "threatened" by when your boyfriend is around.

So for a moment I get to see where I stand in the grand scheme of things - a doormat at the entrance - bleah.

g doesn't give me priority, he's just made it clear that i'm important to him. and i've made it clear that he's important to me.

it matters.. cause it's just necessary to know that you've got someone who will be there no matter how far in the shitter your life is.

I just have to point this out. The population of the planet is approximately 6 billion. For the sake of arguement, let's say that only 20\% are female. Obviously, this an EXTREMELY low estimate. That would mean that only 1.2 billion of the 6 billion are female. Now, if you currently meet 10 new people a day that you get to know well enough to make a judgement about and half of them are women, you will meet 1825 women a year that you can make a judgement about. However you will have to meet and get to know 5 women a day, EVERYDAY. No breaks. Kinda far fetched but stick with me. With an approximate life span of 85 years for men, barring any premature deadly disease or accident, you will meet 155125 women in your life. This equates to .012\% percent of the female population you have met and 99.988\% of the female population you have not met.

Now remember that this is from birth to death. You must meet and get to know 5 women well enough to make an educated oppinion about them EVERYDAY from the day you are born until you die.

So, in light of that, does "Girls are dumb" really seem like something you can make a valid claim to?

And second, is it any wonder men know NOTHING about women?

Perhaps I should clarify. I did read the posts. And saw people trying to justify that girls are dumb or foolish or any other descriptive that you want to use, and were basing this of only a handful of experiences. It just seems very ignorant and arrogant to make such general statements off of such a small sampling.

Another fine example would be, "That guy cut me off in traffic. Men can't drive."

As for the newbie remarks, I just found this site. After all, the 'net's a big place when you just don't give a shit. So, yes, I'm new here. But that doesn't make what I have to say less valid. None of you have ever walked into the middle of the conversation? I think not.

As for the "beat the shit outta the bastard." When you want to throw the first ePunch lemme know. I'll have a pizza faxed over.

ah, yes, but the difference between walking in on the middle of a conversation and saying something stupid, and what you did, was that you had the time to not only read the other posts, but to also come up with something smart to say. niether of which you did very well. when you walk in on the middle of a conversation, youve missed what was said already, so you cant really know what is going on. CRACKHEAD!

Posted by solid on Feb. 01 2001,23:19

well, thats nice. anyhow- when he said "girls are dumb" he was pissed, thats so obvious that it just bites ya in the ass the second you see the topic name.

so ya, its a logically and technically false, general statement- but sometimes it just doesnt matter.. and in my life i see a lot of girls making these false general statements, a whole lot more then guys.

Posted by damage on Feb. 05 2001,14:20

The difference, Sithiee, is that I was able to go back and read what was already said. Unlike a convo in person where you don't really want to say, "Hey, can everyone repeat everything they just said? I wasn't here." So, I was able to see what was going on. Bulletin boards are funny that way. They have a strange way of allowing people to just into the middle of a convo after going back and reading the whole thing. Amazing, isn't it?

And Solid, I know that girls make those same kinda generalized statements, but as intelligent as everyone on here seems to be, for the most part, it just seems like perpetuating stereotypes with generalization is a little below y'all.

No, he didn't say 'Tyler says...'. And he was called narrator in the film and besides, the words and they're meaning are far more important than who said them or if they were said in the book or the film, my intellectually challenged friend. It seems as though you've run out of thing to rail me on, which is a shame because it's so much fun to push your buttons and watch you flip out.

Kuru, sorry about that. My brain shut down while I was typing that. BTW, did I ever thank you correcting the quote?

Damien, I never claimed to be intellectually superior. I just find it amusing that Sithiee seems to have run out of things attack me on that have to do with this thread so he/she decided to skew into a new direction just to be able to try to bash me.

As for the Full House reruns, I think I'd prefer being killed.

well i guess theres only SO many posts you can do and sithees prolly reached his limit

everything you say, as well as how you say it changes how people see you. thats why first impressions are so important, and are hard to change. like a grade in a class. if theres only one, then its really important. if theres 5 billion, its not that important, but its still in there. if you say lots of dumb things (which you seem to) people lose respect for you. if you say smart things, or know smart things, or have smart/funny/provoking quotes, people will probably respect you more. i say a lot of things that piss people off, and honestly, i dont give a rats ass what people think about me. this can be see by the way i act on this forum. i speak my mind, i say what i think, and i dont care when the shit hits the fan. however, people who have been here a long time know it, expect it, and dont seem to particularly care. but ive said lots of smart things to go with the dumb/assholish things, so relativly, i dont think im hated by all. right now, all youve said are dumb things, so we(i anyway) look for other ways to see if your as smart as you think. your signature was where i found some stuff to look at. this is one reason. the other is that is really pisses me off when people insult (intentionally or not) Fight Club (book, or movie) because its so great.

and DKB, not to be an ass, but wtf does that mean?

You don't have to claim it in order to act as if your are. When you start bashing our invalid arguments and overgeneralizations, talking about statistics etc. as if we don't know what they are, you are implying that YOU are somehow more intelligent than the rest of us. It's good that you know how to spot these things, and in some cases you'd be correct in pointing them out. But this is a casual conversation, about a topic that makes almost all of us mad, and we like to bitch and rant and moan about them. It gives us emotional support.

Since you're obviously possess intellectual capabilities, go get yourself a copy of Emotional Intelligence and brush up on that side of yourself. Logic doesn't solve everything, my friend.

someone is getting a big head. i noticed another thing first though. narrator. not narator. and it isnt important to quote correctly, because you have to give credit where credit is due, thats why plagarism is such a big deal. second, the distinction between a book and a movie is very important. for example, if someone said to me, "the lost world was good", i could and would assume they meant the movie, because not many people read books these days, and so i would proceed to yell at them and tell them why they are fools. now if someone said to me that "the lost world was a good book" i would agree, and that would be that. the point is, the distinction is important, because where quoting one might gain you respect, quoting another could make you look like an idiot. and i do have plenty more things to rail you on, if you really want me to, ive already laid the smackdown at school like 3 times today, i just dont feel the need anymore.

Ok so I'v returned (and I know I wasn't missed so I won't even ask) and yes I read ALL the posts in this thread and it seems to be several things.
1. damage- you could have made your point without going into statistical detail- but we can let that slide
2. Sithiee-Leave him alone- we can't all be as great and as wonderful as you are ;P
If you want to trash him do it in other thread and leave this one to its original intent =)
3. Its seems that we have gotten well off the topic

thats just my two cents

Damien, point well taken. My intent was not to offend people by trying to seem "superior" and as I said earlier, it was both mis-timed and not as useful as I had hoped.

Sithiee, I understand that first impressions are important. However, that quote was not in my first post and was there for, assuming you read my first post, was not your first impression of me. So, insulting my based on that quote, which I'll admit was initially wrong (Thanks again Kuru) with the arguement of first impressions seems a little off base and also seems unnessesary considering that had nothing to do with this topic.

I don't think I intentionally or otherwise "insulted" Fight Club. A mis-quote shines poorly on the person quoting, not on the creator.

If you want to loose your venom on me, let's keep it in the topic of the thread and what has been said there. Or, as Chrissy said, start a new thread for that perpose.

DKB, Nice!
