My extensive rant on men, relationships, dating, biology, koalas and whatever

[rioisk]

I haven't read through all 14 pages of this thread but I just wanted to comment that all men do not have it easy. I'm 5'10, athletic body, good looking, and an ivy league student working as a software designer in a promising tech start-up, yet I have the worst luck with women. My interests, aside from coding and software design, include poetry, painting/pastels, movies, long walks, board games, card games, cooking, pool, and running/weight lifting/staying in shape. My confidence in my interests and abilities are in no way lacking, but I'm never arrogant and rarely do I speak unprompted about my accomplishments or positive attributes. However, no women express interest in me and I have an impossible time getting dates to the point that I don't even try anymore.

So just so you know, men do not have it any easier than women.

This thread isn't actually serious (it's kind of a parody of another closed thread. Except with more koalas) Hopefully you read THIS post, though.

Since you like board games, do you play the game of go? It's a fun board game that mostly only computer/math geeks seem to love (with tons of exceptions, but yeah). /random comment

Oh, gee. Like we didn't see this coming. Yet another guy who wants to come in here and talk about how great he is, but he can never get women. We all know that all a guy has to do is stand somewhere in a club and he will get tons of women fawning all over him. To make it worse, he describes himself as being kind of an ideal guy. Good physical shape, nice hobbies, and pleasant attitude... but you can't get dates? Puh-lease.

Of course, you did say that you're not even trying. You can't complain if you're just going to sit there and wait for the women to come to you. Even when you were trying, you probably weren't being very direct. Men have this weird way of saying one thing, when what they really mean is something else.

For example, "I like the way your hair looks tonight" really means, "Does the carpet match the curtains?"

"Those are nice shoes" could mean, "I'd like to have those shoes wrapped around my neck." or, "Do those heels come in my size? My man would love to see me in them."

Ha! Men know that women are the true queens of subtle statements.

"You're cute!" means "You're quite attractive and sweet."

"You're...*pause*...cute." means "I find you sexually repulsive and furthermore I can mentally tell that you probably have abnormally small procreative organs."

"These shoes are great." means "I love him dearly but I'm not yet ready for a high intensity marriage" (when spoken to female friends)

"These shoes are great." means "They're nice but not the ones I wanted." (when said at Christmas)

"Give me space." means "Preferably 5000 miles of it."

And finally "I'm not ready for a relationship yet, I'm so sorry." means "I actually want you to rip my clothes off and steamily kiss me all over my face." Sometimes.

And women know that men are the true kings of lying?

Pft. I speak quite clearly with men, because men are generally not that bright. That's why they're so easily distracted by the next pretty girl who comes along.

I mean, let's face it. There was a thread here in which a woman stated that her boyfriend prefers **** over actually having sex with her and that he tells her that he'd like to have sex with other women. Rather than defend her or urge her to take immediate action, almost everybody here told her to put up with it because men simply cannot help themselves. I suppose this is true, what with how easy it is for men to get girlfriends. When a girl actually gets a guy, she has to either put up with that kind of thing or lose him.

Oh my. That actually made me laugh while drinking. Not pretty!

More LOLs!

I think I'm falling in love with you guys. Now, give me a koala or baby sloth, and I'll be yours forever. (That's girl language for "I desperately need to get laid or eat 2000 mg of chocolate".)

This is a very accurate portrayal of how women communicate.

 

[Equinox]

We could all use a little gender dictionary. Here's how MEN communicate:

"Hi" means "I want to have sex with you".

"You're very nice" means "You're ugly".

"What's your name?" means "I'll buy you a drink if you'll have sex with me".

"I'm busy" means "I'm cheating on you".

"Please" means "Obey me, woman!"

 

[TheSolitaryMan]

"Please" means "Obey me, woman!"

Damn, I'm such a rude, dominating *******

I'm ashamed.

(You forgot "Thank you." means "Where's my dinner?")

Oh noes! We cannot interrupt the pretty of your face. Might slow down the women who have probably been camping on your doorstep.

It's just a temporary setup, alright? When they're ready to move on to the tent pitching fields I'll be glad to see them go.

 

[nerdygirl]

It's good to finally see a man admit it. He's got women literally camping at his doorstep. So many women that he wants them to go away.

Ladies, we have to stop the insanity! These men, these evil, evil men. These guys stay single, come on sites like this and complain about how lonely they are. If he would just shut up and pick one of these girls up off of his feet, and give her a chance, he just might fall in love. It's so crazy how sometimes girls will pretty much follow guys around with puppy dog eyes that scream, "Love me!!" and the guys just see right through them!

The problem is they don't like nice girls. They don't want to take walks in the rain and have meaningful conversations. They don't want to read comic books, snuggled up together by the fireplace. Gaming together? Forget it. That's what they have male friends for. We have to face it. Nice women finish last. If you're a nice girl, you might as well just start planning on being alone. That's what I did. Accept that no man is going to want you unless you look like a supermodel, have fellatio skills like a whore, and mood swings that make you seem like the queen of *******.

Are you a mind-reader?

 

[Equinox]

Are you a mind-reader?

Indeed I am. That's why I generally don't like people.

And Nerdygirl, you are absolutely right. I'm a nice girl too, and look how far that's gotten me. It's a good thing the sales dude didn't talk me into buying a second controller for my Xbox, because I certainly won't be needing it. I'll forever game alone, watch Marvel films alone, eat my cakes alone and massage my own shoulders.

Oh well. At least I've still got Alistair and Kaidan Alenko.

<3 <3 <3

I don't have any women at my doorstep. I'm here likely for the same reason that most of you are here - to have a place to discuss feelings, thoughts, and experiences pertaining to loneliness.

I will admit that I've been in several long and short term relationships over the years and I've learned a lot about myself, women, and the language of male-female interactions through my experiences with love and intimacy.

First, the problem in my opinion with nice girls is that they don't exude a sense of self-confidence and are in many cases very clingy. Perhaps this is my own preference in women but I like women who are strong and aren't afraid to take the lead with their feelings. Mood swings aren't necessary a bad thing so long as they aren't excessive or unhealthy - they demonstrate an unrestrained emotional side that they aren't afraid to express. Nice people tend to hide their feelings as not to offend others but in my opinion this shows a lack of connection and commitment to ones' passions. In this way they're sacrificing their feelings for acceptance from others. We all do this to varying degrees in our lives but people who bend too much for others make for a very one-way relationship.

Relationships in my view are broadly about mutual expansion in thought, feelings, and behaviors. In a figurative sense, I'm not going to sweep a woman off her feet unless she somehow sweeps me off my feet. In this way, I'm opposed to the model of males being the dominant pursuer and more in favor of an equal-effort situation. Of course in a society where males are expected to pursue this is problematic for me and I acknowledge this is a major factor in my lack of female attention.

Sorry, I couldn't finish reading that. I didn't see "koala" mentioned anywhere.

Uhm... RIOISK.


Somebody already explained this to you...

This thread isn't actually serious (it's kind of a parody of another closed thread. Except with more koalas) Hopefully you read THIS post, though.
