Women venting about men

[Darmanicus]

LOL
I think we are both happier now. Her curiosity has been sated and my daydreaming has been revealed for what it is: inconsequential.

You daydream about Inconsequenti-Al!!!!!???? And your wife doesn't find that profound!!!???

Men! Men! Oh, don’t get me started about men! They are horribly hairy! It’s like the fur that comes in with puberty never stops coming in and by the time they are 30 they’ve got in all over their backs and in their ears and maybe across their noises. They think farting in public is an acceptable form of communication. And even without the farting men smell funny. They radiate dirtiness they way a plutonium isotope radiates, uh, radiation. They enjoy killing things and eating meat raw! In all of recorded human history there have been, like, two women serial killers. Men serial killers: 370,897,674. Men!

It I am wholly and unalterably wrong in my sexual choices? I'm a lesbian plan and simple, I told you that so you wouldn't hit on me cause it is pointless, not because I want you to try and prove me wrong.

If you want an actual answer to this, it comes from a lot of men being desperate for women in the first place. We can't get any of the women that are actually willing to sleep with men and we can't understand the concept of why our choices of women are reduced further by some of them that won't sleep with ANY of us instead of just us personally.

Plus, I think it has a lot to do with there being so many bisexual and bicurious women. Most of the "lesbians" I know were heterosexual women who were introduced to the lesbian thing and decided that women were less a hassle than men. It doesn't make them any less bi-sexual, it's just that they've vowed off off men. Since I've met enough of these people to make them statistically significant, I think that men look at it and say "see, she likes guys even though she says she doesn't, why don't you?"

And even more controversial is since I've seen enough people "change" sexual orientations that people think with enough convincing you might try it and like it. Heck, my ex-gf tried women, then didn't like guys anymore....so it works both ways. Sadly.

I don't want to be anywhere near this when this explodes.

I wonder that too! Although I can beat my husband at Galaga. But if we bet on something, I always lose. Why is that?

On a more serious note, I don't enjoy making generalizations about one sex or the other and ranting about them. As far as griping about my husband specifically, I just don't think it's appropriate. Some of the women in my moms club enjoy only talking bad about their husbands and I have to wonder if there is any solidarity at home. Sure, every once and awhile my husband and I disagree, but it's not for public digestion. If it's something particularly annoying, I tell my best friend to get it off my chest or he tells his and that's as far as it goes. I respect him too much to do otherwise.

It seems like being "laid-back" is actually a benefit in the video game world. I'm not very good, but then again, I don't seem to have the patience to become good anyway. I will say though that I am the Queen of Monkey Bowling (Super Monkey Ball 2). Only video game in which I can consistently beat all my guy friends.

I do.... the ranting is why I started the thread. Rant! *Puts on bomb-proof drawers and waits*

Ya, now that I look it over, I realize how mad it might sound. Didn't mean to make any assumptions or judgements. If I did, I'm sorry. Still, I am stating what I've personally observed, not stating it as a fact.

Most of this is because people/society still think (and probably always will) of gender and sexuality as discreet categories, when that is simply not the case. Nor are they constants. In my opinion, they're both social constructs; humans tend to simplify things, and tend to divide things. Instead of being simply sexual, you have to be sexual in a defined way, mostly so people can talk about you. I'm not saying the construct is wrong - it's a necessary tool for communication about sex amongst groups of people. It's just important to realize that it is a construct, and in real life people are much too complex to really be divided into two or three categories.

And don't even get me started on "bi-curious". Suffice it to say, I don't like the phrase.

A more palatable view, though also more constrained, is that gender and sexuality are actually continua, with male/female and hetero/homo as the seperate ends of an axis. Depending on what you've done, and how you feel, you'll fall somewhere in between the two, as a shade of grey, rather than at the ends.

Well stated. And, now that the internet is here, I think in the distant future, there will be the possibility of people being attracted to personalities rather than gender.

I've read an interesting theory about why men are better at video games. (and why the women who are super good are that way). But I'll post it in a spoiler because it may not be work friendly.

Spoiler

Apparently, male "self pleasuring" and some female versions of the same increase manual dexterity and speed for many of the muscles associated with controling a video game controller. Especially those games which require repetitive speed button pushing, such as many of the minigames in Mario-Party.

Many of my male friends swear by it.
