If you don’t want men to generalize women as in the quotes, why would you generalize men in the same way?
I say bullshit to anyone who says all men are the same. As evidence I have a wonderful, caring, sensitive, intelligent guy at home. My first piece of advice is to date a second son, never the eldest.
Heh. I think this is pretty good advice. If something is wrong in the family, it’s going to be the oldest son who takes bears the full brunt of it- especially if he has a younger brother he is trying to protect. If daddy is a drunk or mommy is overbearing, it’s the oldest son who is going to end up with the issues (not sure if this applies to daughters, too.) They are more likely to end up with too much freedom, or too much responsibility, or whatever.
Meanwhile, second sons have always functioned as part of a family, and I think their lives are usually just a bit more moderated. As a marriage partner I think they are more likely to be calm and secure, and more likely to work as a team.
That would explain why my younger brother was way more successful with women than me. And he’s Dutch too, and I mention that because the double “aa” in your name suggests you are Dutch as well.
I’d say it is how a small part of men feel all the time, due to their priorities.
A larger percentage of males might feel that way in a certain mood, like right after a disappointing romantic experience. Or in a phase in their life.
I agree women are often pretty illogical. I even know some women who think that. I don’t really agree with the rest though, except maybe when I’ve just broken up with someone and am feeling misogynistic.
Sorry, I meant no offense. I grew up in a household of all women/girls and to this day I think I am a little stunted in male/female relations because of it.
A few weeks ago I overheard some young (25ish) males talking about people of the female persuasion in very derogatory terms.
Then I see this site.
Put together, these things got me wondering about the Secret Lives of Men™:D
Now that I think about it, I think I’ve only ever dated first or only sons. I wonder what that means. Obviously I don’t really believe you should make all your dating decisions based on birth order, but I can think of three guys I’ve dates who were headcases with emotional problems who had fairly normal younger brothers.
Eldest sons usually get more attention. In some cultures he as the heir gets much better treatment than the other children. In some cases they are even only children and the focus of the family for awhile. Younger sons are more likely to have had to share. I agree never date an eldest son.
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.
