That site seems pretty ludicrous, but I’m sure there’s guys like the one on _Jersey Shore_ (what’s his name? The Situation – I dunno, I’ve never watched it) that’d probably be into something similar. I mean, someone has to be propelling “The Game” like audience. ---

I’ve always said that women are completely irrational, insane, stupid, and petty, and that’s one of the things they have in common with men. ---

It’s like some sorta Jane Goodall followed my girlfriend around with a pad and paper and took notes! :eek: ---

Wow. I feel bad. I linked that site because I used to go there, and I could have sworn it was a lot less misogynistic. Perhaps because it was less misogynistic than the other places I’d seen that talked about the subject, or maybe it’s changed, I don’t know. I was fascinated by the subject as a kid. What I remember that was always emphasized was that you were trying to become a better person, and that anything you did to attract a woman was to make you both happy. Be yourself was often repeated advice, but they went further and told you how to be yourself. There were a few assholes you filtered out, but there were also good people with good advice. If the site is now full of that bullshit, then I’m sorry I ever linked it. That was the stuff we were trying to get away from in other communities. ---

Being an eldest son, I’ll probably have to tell my wife (to whom I’ve been married for 20+ years) that she’d better start running. I can obviously not be caring, sensitive nor intelligent. ---

> [@Lemur866](#): > > If you think women are illogical, try dating men for a while. > > It reminds me of a bit that Sam Kinnison used to do. He’d say something like “Women come up to me and ask, ‘Why do you always put down women? Men can be jerks too, so why do you only complain about women?’ And the answer to that is 'cause a man never broke my FUCKING HEART. A man never took my stereo. A man never crashed my fucking car! I want my records back!!! AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH!” > > So that’s why you hear women bitch and whine about men, and men bitch and whine about women. And this is why opposite sex relationships never work. You’ve convinced me, I’m going gay. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > I think there is some truth to it. I would advise any young generic male never to get married. I was warned, didn’t listen, and it worked out let they said it would. Times have changed quickly in women’s favor when it comes to overall power in relationships and it isn’t a pretty situation for younger men in particular. It may work for a few but you can’t count on anything other than having the life and your masculinity sucked right out of you by the first convincing succubus that comes along. Put a big shield for defense before you have a chance to get tricked men or your long-term wellbeing and your wallet will suffer. Focus on the stuff you can control and pursue your dreams. At least you have only yourself it blame if that doesn’t work. > > Dick Masterson gives a pretty convincing [interview on Dr. Phil about this topic and he seems to be well grounded.](http://www.menarebetterthanwomen.com/) Um, you do realize that Dick Masterson is a troll, and that he’s making fun of men who hold those views via over the top parody? Don’t get me wrong he makes fun of women too. He’s a troll, he finds humor in mocking the gullible, whether they agree with his strawman arguments or get offended by them. In the interviews he can barely stop from bursting out laughing whenever he speaks. That being said he is funnier than your average troll. ---

Jeez I’m twice divorced and I don’t agree with any of those quotes. Women feel differently than men because they are very much different than men despite what some feminist want us to believe. You just gotta deal with it guys. They’re mostly worth the aggravation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-is-this-site-representative-of-how-you-feel-about-women/573147.md?page=2)
