  • It's maturity that makes you understand. If you were having bitter feelings for opposite sex from the get go. Bad experience is just an excuse for them to view the opposite sex as devil.

    My ex who cheated on me said that he hated women before meeting me. According to him, he had bitter experience with women. But, I didn't treat him bad. It was just his excuse to hide something that was problematic in his behavior. Then later on, as he opened up he told me he was a player at some point of his life.

  • I was born in a Taoist family, studied Buddism for 'O' Level, read the Bible more than 7 times, now trying to complete the Quran.

    They all have a special message for husband and wife; all trying to advise married couples how to minimise martial conflicts.

    For many millennium, marital problem is a social issue and today, every country has a legal system to address it.

    My Opinion is, writing a "logical" solution is easy. But somehow, it won't work. Whatever Opinions written before this sounds reasonable. But I'm sure none will work for every couple. Funny right? We are more complicated than we thought we are. And really, no matter how much we try, I dare say, we are all assholes and bitches, at times.

  • You just have to look at good examples of the opposite sex and talk with good friends of the opposite sex to get a good mental picture in your mind of them

    • Right on!

  • Im not bitter but I don’t want to waste time so I avoid dating guys that might date me but will probably not marry me - this includes guys who flirt with girls significantly more attractive than me or guys who don’t know who they want

    • Interesting. How do you know that a man is not a marriage prospect, without dating him?

    • @cth96190 if he's not well groomed

    • @WowwGirl That is a good criterion. I should say, though, that when I was your age I paid a lot of attention to grooming (still do), but the girls went for shitbags who looked as though they were homeless. Flannel shirts, long hair, charity bin clothes, etc. When I listened to Elliot Roger list his complaints, I was able to tick the same boxes. You appear to be unusual among females. I am pleased that I was able to educate my daughter what to look for in a man. She dated a couple of losers (including my psycho), but by 18 she had her act together and went for quality.

  • I talk to them and get to know them. Don't judge.

  • Logic. The actions of one person, however reprehensible, do not reflect on their demographic as a whole.

    • True, but my experiences with females ranged between unpleasant and soul crushing. I have not had one positive experience with a female. With that as my frame of reference, I became bitter and extremely wary of females. Unless it is necessary as part of my work, I will not initiate conversation with a female who I do not know. I will not be alone with a female. I will not into into an elevator with a female.

  • Don’t waste emotional energy on things you can’t change. Invest in your future.

  • Who says I got over it? lol.

  • It can be said for a lot of different things.
    I disassociate everything other than the fact that this is another human being.
    You are responsible for your actions and they have consequences.

  • I became bitter.
    Any sane man would become bitter.

  • Bitterness in life is easy to sneak in because we all go through disappointments.

    My advice is and the one I try to use is that tomorrow is a new day and more better opportunities are yet to come into my life. I can't let the past disappointment chain my future. Life is too short. I gotta a move forward.

  • I realized blaming an entire sex by the actions of a few members of that sex is flawed reasoning and counterintuitive.

  • Being bitter towards 50% of the population would be dangerously irrational.

  • It's not the entire opposite sex, but what's made me bitter towards a lot are my experiences with them throughout my life and some of my friends life as well as other men who have shared stories, they've all lied, some have cheated, their attitudes have all been cold and emotionless, they fit the stereotype that many people say and I'll stick by it until proven wrong

  • It's a reminder that I know for a fact that being bitter or having resentment is worse than men than it is in women

  • Belief in individualism. Every time I feel myself succumbing to bitterness toward the opposite sex, I remind myself that it's a form of collectivism and contradicts my beliefs.
