Men didn't magically turn out that way in the past. They were specifically raised to be 'men'. And that stopped being done in many areas perhaps 45 years ago and its spread since.
I still love chivalry and many good men out there. I think you are involved with unmanly man now. If the guy u referring now is making u frustrated I think you will not develop any respect for him. Find a man that worth your respect and you will know there are good men😁
Question: Do you act like a lady? if not then screw off you hypocrite. If yes than I can see your dilemma. Mainly it's because Society tells boys they have to find some nebulous perfect middle ground between masculinity and femininity which confuses them then the media runs a fear campaign and the femininity wins over after everyone is left permanently stressed and depressed.
Because no matter what a bloke does nowadays, he's made out to be a filthy privileged rapist. I always stick to my holding the door analogy: Hold the door open for a woman, you're sexist. Close it in their face, you're sexist.
I think its because most ladies nowadays are more "modern" and feel the need to step in before the guys are actually ready. Now you see females of all ages asking the guys out. Sometimes even getting them presents. When in reality it should be the woman who gets flattered.
Sure women are lazy, whinny, no ambition, can't get their hands dirty, and don't know how to treat other women... make sense :)
Hahaha, thanks for pointing out this spectacular self burn. +1
What happened to women being women. If you want a traditional MAN you gotta play traditional lady.
Amen !
Men are humans, so are women. Why do we keep putting rules in how we have to act according to our gender?
Because "who we are" is based on our perception of ourselves. And if the world doesn't shape that perception into it's most functional form, we're going to latch onto the first thing that comes our way and offers us an identity. And when you take away gender identity, it becomes replaced by promotion of effeminate men and tomboys, resulting in just that, when those same guys and girls would be fitting in their gender role in different society and calling it "who they are".
Some part of us is innate, but a big part of us is given by what we encounter.
It's up to us to figure out what behavior deserves more reward by seeing which one has more merit. There is no neutral ground. It can't be done. We humans flock into groups and always build something to replace what's missing. So lets not reward something that doesn't have the most merit and doesn't represent greatest form of harmony.
"They seem lazy, whinny, no ambition, can't get their hands dirty, don't know how to treat a woman and last, are too scared to approach a female and ask her out" so these are things that all women do? Wow.
Oh yeah I totally agree! I mean you don't need to work the fields or whatever to be more manly but we are awash with skinny jeans and men getting chest waxes... it's mind boggling!
Although men being too scared to approach a female and ask her out is a lot more about a sharp increase in fake assault charges, rape charges and so on being thrown at guys just because that particular woman was nuts, most guys just don't want to deal with that possibility!
It's sad how fat, ugly and insecure women like QA, who can't attract a man to save their life, become so bitter that they feel the need to lash out and hurt men with "questions" like this. How sad and pathetic a "life" she must lead.
Poor thing.
Although I agree on the bitterness and lashing out of Asker, what are these fat and ugly comments based on?
You're behaving no better than Asker by throwing baseless appearance attacks with the sane level of bitterness.
LOL @MaskedSanity judging me for my response.
The fact is that women with the bitterness displayed by the QA are almost invariably fat and ugly. That is the source of their bitterness because they can't attract a man so they turn bitter and lash out at all men.
I'm just calling it like it is... not going to sugar coat it for you, sugar.
The most common way of attacking a woman is to insult her appearance.
You could have called her delusional, entitled, angry, etc., but you chose to attack her looks.
Many attractive women go from asshole to douchebag and that's usually the result of having a shifty personality. These same attractive women mat be dating a good guy, but their shitty attitudes ruin the relationship and they blame it all on the man.
In short, my point was that your jab at Asker's looks is uncalled for and might not even be true, even though she sounds like a cunt.
My "jab" at the QA was fact based. As I said, when women are as bitter as QA is toward men it is almost invariably rooted in their unattractiveness and resulting inability to have any success with men.
Your anger here is misplaced, and I suspect you're smart enough to know that. You should have followed you brain here rather than your heart.
I stand but what I originally wrote.
Look around on craigslist personals where women seek men. The ad titles have BBW and stuff yet they're asking for fit males and talking about how they need to be "real men."
@Theguyoverthere - right on. I will never understand how women like MaskedSanity feel OK about defending anyone like the QA. All she's does here is further undermine respect for women at a time when it's the last thing her gender needs. The "question" from the QA speaks for itself and there's no doubt about what she is among anyone who read it, so doing anything but focus on that here is childish at best.
I think MaskedSanity is *probably* a relatively good woman based on other things I've seen from her here at GAG, but trying to call me out rather than focusing on the real problem in this particular thread is absurd and really poor judgment on her part.
In this day, good women need to be showing women can be good and compassionate rather than what they have come to be known for in recent years. That's what her gender needs, not this.
Animals in the wild are experts in hiding their pain so as to not appear sick or weak to the predator.
As humans loses the threat of survival , their most basic survival instincts just slowly melts away I suppose.
yea it sucks
my boy takes an hour to get ready. With all this designer shit -_-.
Me i come out of the house with ripped jeans, Design White T shirt, and because i have sleeves on both arms... im set for the day
Feminism happened.
Don't peddle feminism and then whine about the consequences.
Oh Lord. More gender roles. I bet you're an absolute delight to be around.
I assume you always pay for your dates?
@Jointhepatriarchy it's about 50/50. I know you've never been on a date because you're afraid of women but it's not that uncommon these days to just take turns paying.
Just checking you for hypocrisy, dear.
@Jointhepatriarchy if only you were so diligent about checking yourself for poorly formed arguments.
I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm not arguing with you. Just asking chatting. :)
@Jointhepatriarchy nope, just your run of the mill feeble attempt at condescension. :)
You're feisty. I have to ask though, why do you have Commie in your username? Are you a communist? Do you hate America?
@Jointhepatriarchy yes that's totally it.
I'm sorry you feel that way, I love America and freedom. :)
@Jointhepatriarchy I'm happy for you
@jointhepatriarchy i didn't feel free in america
@COCOCHANEL Sorry to hear you had a bad experience here. :(
Maybe because men is just a social construct?
Maybe because it is the natural state for men? In the past men were forced to be aggressive and violent. Now men can be themselves.
Maybe because men are not robots and you should not perceive them as such?
Maybe because femininity is natural for guys?
Maybe because men have the same weaknesses women have? In the past men had to fake it and hide their weaknesses. Now men can be more open?
Because we get victimized for being MEN, we get ridiculed for being MEN, we get forced to be anything but MEN. However if you come to where i'm at you will get sick of MEN Hahahh
Yes many are, it's pretty frustrating and then they piss and moan that we aren't feminine anymore. Really? It's not a light switch.
Why can't WOMEN BE JUST WOMEN?
Why they have to act like MEN?
BITCHES STAY BITCHES!
Seems fair to me.

Blame television, and all the unrealistic expectations it shows. Life is not like TV or the movies.
