I trot this out every once in a while: First girlfriend - Cheated on me, then broke up with me because I “didn’t love her enough.” Second girlfriend - Cheated on me because it was “something she needed to get out of her system.” Third girlfriend - Tried to kill me. Seriously. Ex-wife - Mentally abusive. Just a bad scene overall. Mrs. Magil - The most wonderful woman in the world. She not only makes me happy, but she likes it when I’m happy. Things do get better. ---

**Globetrotter** , why do you have to pit a whole “subset”? Why don’t you just pit the people who have treated you badly? And, in the advice area, if you keep on getting the same kind of woman, you might want to look at the common denominator for all your bad relationships - you. ---

> [@look!ninjas](#): > > IBecause what you’re pitting isn’t male behavior or female behavior. It’s human behavior. All of us do it. More accurately, it’s primate behavior. Nearly all apes and monkeys, including humans, do this to one extent or another–some rampantly so. Female chimps seem particuarly unfaithful, oftne sneaking out behind the back of the dominant male to mate with lower-ranking males from outside the group. ---

> [@Siege](#): > > And men never break women’s hearts or dump them for someone better looking? It goes both ways, bub. By the way, one thing the women around here find attractive is good grammar, and we are most assuredly _not_ the “women race”! > > CJ I’m sure no woman who just broke up with her boyfriend/husband ever said “all men are pigs” just like no (other) man who ever broke up with his girlfriend/wife proclaimed “all women are bitches”. He’s griping because he’s angry. Let him fume for a little bit before getting on him for it. If he’s still posting the same unintelligible stuff a few days from now, then you can take him to task for it. ---

If she’s really hot, and she convinces you to be part of a terrorist plot, and then you have sex with her just as your usefulness has run out, and then you hear creepy music just as you’re headed to the bathroom, she _will_ try to kill you. If _24_ has taught me anything, it’s that. You’re welcome. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > You notice he did say “subset”, right? > > But good for you for kicking a man when he’s down. I apologize if I came across as overly harsh. But, speaking as one of the [quote=Globetrotter] … lovely inncoent sweet looking girls who give hopes to the guys and say they love you with all their heart and wouldn’t do anything to betray the trust. _(although I suppose the lovely bit is debatable)_ …I’d like to point out that some of us get our hearts broken too. Which is why it makes sense to me to pit the ex-girlfriend, and not a large subset or a small subset or even a tiny portion of the entire gender. But no hard feelings to either of you, and **Globetrotter** , just take it easy and you’ll start to recover. Should you need it, I’d be more than happy to offer up a bottle of very cheap wine and a tub of ice cream. It’s cliched, but it seems to work very well. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > While that’s not bad advice, it smacks of blaming the victim. Maybe as a society we need to blame “victims” more. If someone keeps chasing after the same type of person who stomps on them, I’m not up for blaming the people who do the stomping - I’m willing to put a little responsibility on the person who keeps on choosing stompers. ---

I must say that I never expected this much responses (good and bad ) from so many people for such a lame rant…Apologies for the spelling and grammer. Am not a native english speaker. But please please quit badgering people about the grammer when they are ranting. Ex : rant - I got ass kicked by some crazy woman. reply - You deserve to get ass kicked because you’re english is bad… :smack: Anyways this particular breakup happened sometime back. Yesterday by accident I got to know some personal details about the ex and her hubbie…What pissed me off was , she is saying exact same thing she told me to her new hubby…even they kind of use the same fricking nicknames I used to use ( Personal nicknames) :eek: Cant you atleast get fucking creative!! But good thing , her new hubby seems like just a rich idiotic guy. Atleast that will make me happy in a strange way. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-wanna-pit-about-large-subset-of-women-race/323824.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-wanna-pit-about-large-subset-of-women-race/323824.md?page=3)
