haha there we go. its good to know that you and her are doing well.

i think we should lock this thread for the next week. really, nothing good can come from hooking up with a girl right before V-Day. ya go through all that effort, and, best case scenario, ya just wasted your A-game and have nothing for Holiday of Unfair Expectations.

wait 'til Feb 15th when all the single women are lonely and depressed about spending V-Day alone.

Haven't seen her on here in forever. Aside from AQ, I dont think girls can handle the misogyny.

Many wont be looking for love the next day, as they spent all of the 14th feeling sorry for themselves and eating feel-good food.

V-Day is always a good time to score lonely, depressed chicks. Great time to score some girls out of your league or just casual scratch. They're usually drunk and desperate.

My best friend's birthday is the 14th. It usually works out really well because there is always a party.

So for the second date you plan on sleeping over and making her breakfast?

Was that directed to me?

If so. I just realized she has to get up pretty early on a job the next morning, so we'll see how it goes. I do plan on inviting her home to my place and making her dinner some day.

Btw my birthday is february the 13th, the day before V-day. I've always thought it was an overrated day, since it's not really 'our' tradition, but it's getting huge over here aswell. I did have some plans to go partying, but they're cancelled, so it better work out. ;)

She hasn't met her. SteelersGirl moved to Pittsburgh in November. So yea...she hasn't had the pleasure but knowing both of them, they would get along.

No kidding, it gets really bad here sometimes. Rarely anything too overt, but 3/4ths the posts in this thread have undertones of misogyny(at least the ones dealing with actual questions.)

bsaza2358 · 02-05-2009, 10:25 AM

Well, some of these younger guys revere women too much and disrespect themselves in the process. By flipping it and promoting women as less worthy of the high praise they are getting from these kids, we are promoting confidence and an attitude that is needed for them to grow from newbie to boyfriend. I'm sure I have been plenty misogynistic, but some of it is deserved based on the scenarios and some of it is humor. The rest of it is resentment.

Well, I think with girls in that 15-18 age group that the HS kids are dealing with, it's easy for those of us that are 4-8 years old than them to be a bit misogynistic because we know that those girls aren't anywhere near the maturity level of a girl in mid-twenties or older. I mean, looking at the way girls acted at my HS when I was there, I'm surprised I was even attracted to some of them because I wouldn't have been able to handle their stupid drama.

I'm a junior, and I've began to not be drawn to most of the girls in the school. Too much ******** with them.

All they need to do is realize women are people too. They don't need to degrade them and what not. Once you realize women have the same feelings we do, it makes it a lot easier.

bsaza2358 · 02-05-2009, 03:47 PM

Women have similar goals, but they think differently and act in such a way that can be counterproductive to getting what both people want. Men are exactly the same. However, it can be healthy to vent frustrations about the opposite sex and solicit advice.

you'll end up having an inordinate love for shiny antique toaster, cats, and books by authors who's last name begins with x.

I'm just sayin most of them bring too much **** to the table. Maybe not older ones, but the ones in my highschool yes.

X. J. Kennedy or Malcolm X? Those are all I can think of.

Venting is fine, in fact, it is healthy. It is the posts that just ooze misogyny that I was talking about.

Yes, men and women are different, but at their cores, they are both just people. As soon as someone realizes that, they are in a much better position than a lot of people.

bsaza2358 · 02-06-2009, 08:13 AM

I'm sure that plenty of women take similar stances towards men, but they still want to be with and date and screw men. It is an ongoing battle of the sexes. I know that women have it tough in our world. Less pay for the same work, body image pressures all the time, their clothes cost way more, makeup, bras, and social norms that expect them to be submissive. Men have it much easier in many ways. At the same time, does that mean we're supposed to put up with BS and drama that is unnecessary? Absolutely not. I would say the same for women having to put up with men.

I should break out some of my Linguistics books, I had to read like 4 of them that covered male/female communications and the subsequent problems resulting from it haha. It's all about positive and negative face. Well, that and your conversational agenda.

bsaza2358 · 02-06-2009, 12:51 PM

Oh, I'm well aware that men help create the problems. The ongoing and never-ending battle of the sexes provides plenty of humor, strife, entertainment, intrigue, pain, and amazement. Part of why our species continues on through the ages.
