The proper phrase would be gynophobe. He’s scared to death of women and probably couldn’t hold a healthy relationship for longer than a day.
Y’know, JamesCarroll, it’s interesting that gay men, who have nothing vital to lose if they blast the women they come into contact with every day (and if you think gay men don’t get asked “Does this make me look fat?” you’re living somewhere other than planet Earth), don’t blast women half as much as hetero guys, who do have much to lose by pissing women off, would desperately seem to like to.
Note that I’m not flaming all straight guys. Just the ones who seem to take any opportunity to “jokingly” denigrate or ridicule women in general. It shows severe emotional deficiencies, and a large degree of adolescent “girls have cooties!” mindset.
A man who hates and fears women is a coward.
A man content in a relationship with a woman who is ragingly insecure is a coward.
A man who stays with a woman who emotionally sabotages their conversations is a coward.
People should be able to verbalize their displeasure. It is human to find some behaviors annoying. Hating your woman means you are no longer good for her. Grow some balls and move on.
** JC: ** Don’t tear your woman up because you’re afraid to be alone. If she annoys you so much you hate her, kiss her goodbye and seek a woman who will never have to question your love and one you won’t have to pretend to care about.
In college, I was proud to be the President of the Sensitive Men of APO. Our symbol was the Greek masks of comedy and tragedy, for a sensitive man can both laugh and cry, and our motto was “I need a hug”.
We engaged in friendly debate and many a drunken outing with the Masculinized Woman of APO.
I only have two generalized complaints about women:
As Revedge sorta pointed out, men are stupid, er, straighforward. You know this, ladies. We rarely know what we did wrong, so please don’t make us guess why you are giving us the cold shoulder.
While this is slowly disappearing, if you like us, call us!!
BTW, guys, the one key to a happy relationship is as follows. If your woman suggests an activity, DO NOT respond with “Oh, all right” or “I guess so.” The correct response is “Honey, that sounds great!!”
Oooooh, sounds like a challenge…and you know I could never back down from a challenge with my sweet dweller of hell.
any man who can’t openly express how much he gets pissed off at women is a coward
I think you should be the new weather boy in Conclusions. Your inference that Euty is a coward because he had favorable things to say is laughable. He was quite clear that women have faults, and he gets angry at them.
Not the tongue lashing you might deliver, but I don’t know that mild mannered Euty is capable of the rant you or Jimbo might dish out.

to which your witty reply was: Moron.
What the fuck? The above is sound advice for a man or a woman. Hardly a jump. If you really hate the person you are involved with, leave or quit your bitching.
The OP isn’t annoyed with the random, day-to-day irritating personality traits. He is pissed that a woman would expect to be loved, listened to and respected. God forbid. For whatever reason, he believes doing these things somehow strips you of your manhood. I think it says alot about Jimbo that he has to pay to get a woman to spend any time with him at all.
This is the problem I have with him. My problem with you is that you seem to be attacking fairly valid points, which seem to put you in the Jimbo camp. Scary.

Perhaps I’m looking for my first flame, but I just feel the need to step in for a sec., don’t worry I won’t stay long.
/hermaphrodite hat on
Gotta love the “you probably don’t have a dick” and “you can’t get laid!” insults, huh?
:rolleyes:
The guy was venting for god’s sake, how many times have we heard the “all men are pigs” rant on TV and in RL? I assume most women who say that don’t actually believe that there is not a single good man out there. I also seriously doubt these men think there is not one woman out there who is not a nagging bitch.
Let’s face it, there are endless amounts of guys who are utter pigs to women and there are endless amounts of women who are utter bitches to their men.
I think we can all do without the generalizations, guys.
I also think we can do without the kindergarten-style insults, girls.
When I ask you THREE TIMES if you want some of my orange juice and you say no each time, please don’t give me an exasperated, disappointed look when you see that I have drank the last of it.
The first time I asked you I was just being polite.
The second time I asked you because your first ‘no’ sounded like it might be a ‘yes’ and I wanted to make sure.
The third time was because I really wanted to wash down those crackers and I was going to finish it off if you didn’t want it.
And PLEASE take a cursory glance around you before asking me to get something for you. I can’t count the number of times you have asked me for a lighter and I had to get up, walk over to where you were sitting, and hand you the one on the floor in front of you. I don’t mind getting stuff for you, but it seems awful pointless when it’s a lot closer to you than me.
I also find it frustrating when you get off work and want me to run to the store to get you something. We have different schedules. I just woke up, I’m still groggy, I’m still in my underwear and I haven’t showered yet. You have been awake for 10 hours and are already dressed. Why can’t you go get your own cigarettes?
I got used to doing 90% of the laundry. Thought it was a fair trade for the stuff you did (though I ended up doing a lot of your chores too eventually). OK, I screwed up and ruined a $100 top by machine washing it, I’m sorry. OK, I understand that you want to do your own laundry now, that’s fine. OK, I will go ahead and do all my laundry per your request so it will be out of the way and you can do yours.
It’s a week later and I need to do laundry again - I’m male, my wardrobe is probably a 10th the size of yours. I go to wash a load, the laundry room is packed with your dirty clothes, and I see that you haven’t done ANY in the last week or so, the last load I did (sheets and underwear) is still in the dryer. I guess you got used to me doing all the laundry and forgot how.
Seriously, though. As odd as it may seem, I agree with you on a large number of points. The only thing that you messed up on was the dissection of the moron statement. My message to Cyn was that the activity of providing me the advice on unproven ground was warrantless. That’s hardly attacking a valid point, since the point was moot in the first place.
Saying that members of the opposite sex are difficult to deal with sometimes is, in comparison to the lauding previously demonstrated, exceptionally weak. My point is that if you are going to feel something, feel it strongly, express it strongly. That goes for love, for hate, for hope.
Now, just back up and cool your jets. There isn’t any fire to put out here.
I agree that simple venting should not be criticized. For example, our poor Badtz, who just wants some orange juice!
But I think JamesCarroll is a horse’s ass of another color. and as for the devil’s minion…
Heckie,
I still disagree that it was a moot point, but let’s just agree to disagree on that, shall we lovebird?
[sub]and if you’re not on fire, then I must be doing something wrong![/sub]
