I wanna pit about large subset of women race!

No, large subset of women race pit about you.

Convo A

Person 1: Man, I hate it when women lie to men and break their hearts. My now-ex-girlfriend just fucked me over, and boy, am I pissed. Those women sure do suck.
Person 2: Well, fuck you! There are lots of women who are as kind as can be to their boyfriends, and furthermore, plenty of men are assholes too!

Convo B

Person 1: Man, I hate it when McDonald’s fucks up people’s orders. I just ordered a burger and got a fish sandwich, and boy, am I pissed. McDonald’s sure does suck.
Person 2: Well, fuck you! There are lots of McDonald’s that take special care to get your order right, and furthermore, plenty of Burger Kings mess up your order too!

Questions

In which of these conversations does Person 1 seem out of line to you? How about Person 2? Why?

What is it about topics related in any way to humanity that automatically throw people into Defensive Mode?

The group pitted by the OP (or “pitted about”, if you prefer) meets two important qualifications for moral responsibility: it’s dynamic, and one’s inclusion or exclusion from it is entirely a matter of personal choice. The set of Women Who Deceive Men And Cruelly Break Their Hearts increases in size and scope every time a woman does so, and decreases every time a woman who has done so in the past decides to remain faithful to her future companions. By choosing to deceive a man and cruelly break his heart, a woman willfully enters into this set. By choosing not to do so, she excludes herself from it. It is her actions alone that decide whether or not she is a member of the group being called into question by the OP. Because of this, the OP cannot be labelled “prejudiced” as a sole result of his declaration in this thread. The closest one can come to a logically and morally sound accusation of prejudice would be to say that the thing the OP dislikes is better termed an action, or a choice, than a person, and by claiming a dislike for an individual person based solely on their decision to perform this action, he is transferring his judgement from the action to the individual. Whether or not this is allowable would depend on your individual requirements for moral responsibility. Personally, though, I don’t consider the distinction overly important as long as the OP allows for the fact that people can change, and his opinion of them ought to change along with them.

As for the “Men do it too!!!” response, I can only point out that the country of Luxembourg is the world’s 8th largest banking center. This has about as much to do with the point of the OP as that particular response does, so perhaps we ought to focus on that as well.

Globetrotter, there will never be any guarantees that your heart won’t break when you love someone. It doesn’t matter if it is your lover, your spouse, your child or your grandchild.

Chances are that along the way you will break someone’s heart too.

Rich people have the right to be loved too. They have the added insecurity of wondering if it’s because of the money.

I’m sorry that you are hurt by her actions. Living the sweet life is the best revenge.

Shouldn’t that read “In Soviet Russia, subset of large women pit you!”? I mean, damn, Russian chicks…Mmmmm…Anna Kournikova…

Excuse me while I take care of some business :wink:

Globetrotter, I apologize for my harsh response.

I’m afraid I get a bit frustrated when I’d hear men complain about these evil women who break hearts and are out to destroy men when I couldn’t even get a date, even though I’m also sweet and innocent looking, or so I’m told. It’s a time-honored lament around here, and probably throughout humanity: “Why do all the men who treat women badly get dates while I, who would never do such a thing, don’t?” You can change the sexes and it’s still the same lament and, I suspect, just as frustrating.

You are better off without her, you know. It’s an old saying, but, if she cheated on you, she’ll probably cheat on the next guy. Some women are materialistic bitches. I used to work with some of them, and I’d hear them talking about their evenings out. Every one of them was beautiful! I do not blame any straight or bi-sexual man for going on a date with them once. The problem was, they knew they were beautiful and the morning after a date, they’d brag about how much money they’d gotten men to spend on buying them drinks, etc. As I said, I can see how any man would date one of them once. Twice, however, once he found out what they’re like, is a different matter. To be fair, at a different company, I knew a different, beautiful coworker who was one of the nicest people you could meet who got tired of being dated only for her looks.

Zoe’s right, as she usually is. There is no guarantee you won’t get your heart broken. Ten years ago, I was in love with a man who I thought was the most wonderful man in the world. He was my best friend, as well as my love. About 12 or 13 years ago, he vanished out of my life without saying a word (it was a long distance romance). Because he never told me when it was over, it took me a long time to get over him and I still don’t know why it ended. That was one reason it was so frustrating to see everyone paired off or complaining about how their ex-girlfriend had done them wrong when I couldn’t get a date, let alone a boy friend. Well, eventually, I met another guy, and gave him my phone number. He’d recently been burned by a woman who’d gone off men because of the way one of them had treated her. Still, he gave me a call, and we’re now crazy about each other in a nice, sane relationship. He’s better than the other guy. There’s no doubt in my mind about that at all!

Don’t let this experience make you think that all women are bitches who are out to ruin men’s lives. If you do, women such as myself who wouldn’t do such a thing will pick up on it and avoid you. Why should we date a man who wants sex, but doesn’t think much of women? Keep trying, and good luck. Who knows? Maybe there’s a girl you’ve seen in various places who isn’t gorgeous, but may be a bit cute behind her glasses who’s been hoping you’d notice her. Sometimes, too, some women who look innocent really are, and are hoping you won’t break their hearts.

Again, I apologize for my harsh post yesterday morning, and I wish you luck.

Apology accepted and the point taken. I was just frustrated with the whole situation. I am beginning deal with whole thing . But I must say that I will always view a woman with certain level of suspicion and expect nothing but trouble deep down…:slight_smile:

Girl behind glasses ?? Wow…I always found that glasses as a strong turn on… :smiley:

That’s just silly. Now if you’ll excuse me, Mrs. Magill has asked me to carry this large bowling ball with a burning fuse to the White House.

Mrs. Magill is bisexual? :eek:

Hey, what’s wrong with pitting subsets??? Right now, I’m taking grad-level Combinatorics, and I want to Pit every goddamn subset in the world!!

Yes, but when the low-ranking male is caught messing with the hot female chimp by the dominant male, does he sing “Gimme Three Steps”?

Yes, only in Chimpanese it sounds rather like “Oooooo! Oooooo! Eeeeeeeeeee!!!”
