This is what you get if you start a sex farm…
What’s wack is that I became a temporary Republican Because There Was This Girl, the root of most mens mistakes. Didn’t work.
At least you won’t get any STDs from him. :eek:
AND he’d make fun of him for being a short loser.
I supported her dad in '64. Will that give me a shot?
I didn’t know ants had STDs
Ignorance fought.
ETA: Damn, you caught it. The error, I mean.
I was tempted to leave it.
Czar? I thought the communists killed the czar.
No, it was video killed the czar.
Well, the radio czar. The television czar is still around.
And Der Kommissar’s in town, too.
I thought that was Ezra C.V. Mildew Dezire Jr.
Same thing?
I tried to do that, but found myself becoming more liberal after seeing the hypocrisy in Gorgeous Rightie’s worldview.
She then… I swear I’m not making this up… married a Baron.
(Liechtenstein? Luxembourg? One of those euro-micro-venues. We now call her The Baroness Von Trapp, of course)
Christine was hotter. Really, she was hotter than anybody.
I’m a short guy, about 5’5". Yeah, the dating pool is a little smaller for us short guys. Most women who prefer tall guys won’t mention that, because it’s rude to mention it, but plenty of women prefer to date men taller than them, and most of those women aren’t in my dating pool.
I have a friend, a lovely woman who’s about 6’ tall. A few times when we talked about dating she mentioned her preference for tall guys, and mock-apologized to me, and it was a little uncomfortable; we weren’t gonna date anyway, there was no real need for her to point that out. But it was small potatoes, not something to get worked up over.
And the thing is, plenty of people have their dating pool restricted by something they can’t control. I know Derek thinks weight is entirely in a person’s control, but that’s a superstitious view that ignores a tremendous amount of biological research. Some folks have a skin color, or a hair type, or a disability, or a mental illness, that restricts their dating pool. Sucks, but there it is.
None of those reasons are the fault of the people who aren’t attracted to you. Blaming people for not finding you attractive is insane.
But that’s not even what Derek is doing.
He’s not accepting, with wry good grace, the fact that he like many other people has his dating pool restricted by physical factors out of his control. He isn’t even blaming the women who aren’t attracted to him, as a lot of “nice guys” do.
No: he’s constructed an elaborate fantasy wherein he’ll be expected to date transwomen (expected by whom, and why he should care about their expectations, is not well-defined in this fantasy), and then because of these shadowy figures and their expectations, he’s getting mad at the transwomen whom he’s expected to date.
It’s profoundly silly, and repellent on every level.
Didn’t Commissar get banned?
Uh-Oh!
And all this time I thought it was a tribute to the late Casey Kasem.
I expect the transwomen would be pretty angry too.
Yeah, I’m unclear on what they actually do in this fantasy. I imagine Derek saying, “Goddammit, THEY are making me go on a date with you!” and the transwoman saying, “MWAHAHAHAHA, resistance is futile!”
I’m not sure whether he thinks that transwomen are especially attracted to short dudes, or whether he thinks they want to have hatesex with him, or what.
My bet is that he thinks transwomen are so pathetically desperate for male attention (on account of their being unable to “compete” with “real” women, you know :rolleyes: ) that they would be willing to “settle” for a short man. And what makes him so furious is the (imagined) implied expectation that he is likewise so pathetically desperate for female attention that he ought to be willing to “settle” for a “not-real” transwoman, in a cozy little romantic bubble of mutual contempt, resentment and despair.
The inside of DerekMichaels00’s head sounds like a horrible place to be, for many reasons that have nothing to do with its smaller-than-average distance from the ground.
Or in the great tradition of so many famous homophobes, he’s secretly attracted to transwomen and is trying to overcompensate to deny and hide this attraction.
I bet his browser search history is “interesting”
