Society's double standard when it comes to girls and boys.

[Yuki-Anne]

I don't want girls who used to be dudes.

I'm out.




^joke

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I have a rather strong criteria for what kind of girlfriend I want. I'm in college so I interact with plenty of girls like... all the time, haha. But only a few have really caught my attention though. Needless to say, they didn't work out. =p

[Nate]

It never works out with the girls I like either. It's always the same thing. "You live across the country." "You don't have a job or any money." "Your beard is gross and you need to lose weight."

It's like...come on. Quit being so picky. :l

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Haha. But I think it's good for people to be picky. Or rather, to know what they want. I wouldn't want to be with someone if I wasn't what they wanted, ya know? I think their happiness is just as important too.

[Yamamaya]

I have another requirement. The girl cannot have a beard.

Well...beards are gross XD

[Yuki-Anne]

I'ma gettin' deja vu...

EDIT: except that the beard part of the discussion is new.

[Htom Sirveaux]

Yeah, back when I was trying to grow a beard (before my boss told me to shave) a friend-girl told me, "Women don't wanna kiss a man with a beard." I said, "Well, I don't wanna kiss a woman with a beard, so that makes us even."

[Nate]

I'ma gettin' deja vu...

That was a fun thread.

beards are gross XD

You just made every male who lived before 1950 sad.

[Htom Sirveaux]

Oh, another thing. If she watches Lifetime, she's off the list. Seriously. Television For Feminazis. Blatantly, shamelessly anti-male.
And the last thing we want is for women to get ideas of empowerment in their pretty little heads. For crapsakes, who's gonna do the laundry?



[spoiler]I shouldn't even have to say that I was joking with that last bit, but just in case some of you don't realize it, I was joking with that last bit. There. Now no one can get mad at me.[/spoiler]

[Hansha]

I'm too young for them anyway...

[Yuki-Anne]

^ WIN. ^

Does that mean I can take guys who watch Spike of my list? XD

p.s. I know you are joking, but Lifetime is kinda anti-male. when ever a lifetime movie comes on I joke with my roommates and say " Ok, the main character is gonna get beaten, raped or have her kids taken away ."

edit: 100th post! woot!

[Yuki-Anne]

Not to mention that everything Lifetime produces is crap.

Now, TLC... that is a channel I can get addicted to.

[Htom Sirveaux]

Nonsense, look at Hugh Hefner and his wife:

Aren't they just the loveliest couple?

[Hansha]

Nonsense, look at Hugh Hefner and his wife:

You guys...I'm so jealous of this relationship...

[Okami]

Nonsense, look at Hugh Hefner and his wife:

. . . . . . *sigh*

I've honestly tried to have words on that one for some time now, but I just...don't have them.

Which brings me semi-back to the point made earlier about pornography and romance novels. Why are female porn addicts so frowned upon? I'd say that's a double-standard, that thing that says that females aren't visual the way men are and blahblahblah...

[Hansha]

I know right! I'm always watching the medical stuff that comes on.I try to watch Sister Wives but I usually end up getting to annoyed. :p

[Yuki-Anne]

Nonsense, look at Hugh Hefner and his wife:

BUT LOOK HOW BEARDLESS HE IS YOU GUYS

THEIR MARRIAGE MUST BE SO HAPPY BECAUSE HE HAS NO BEARD

[Davidizer13]

You mean The Exploitation of Dwarfism and Multiple Pregancies Channel, right?

Aren't they just the loveliest couple?

Couple's not really the right word for Mr. Hefner.

[Yuki-Anne]

You mean The Exploitation of Dwarfism and Multiple Pregancies Channel, right?

Mostly, I mean the crazy cooking and telling fat people how to look awesome channel. I've never watched those other shows. And the whole idea of Toddlers'n'Tiaras is frightfully offensive to me.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Why are female porn addicts so frowned upon?

Okami, they're not frowned upon. At least not the same extent as male counterparts.

Girls everywhere, what's wrong with beards? They're awesome! I think I look much too young without one.

[Htom Sirveaux]

Frowned upon by whom? Men or other women? I don't imagine other women would (though I could be wrong on this), since men seem to have a sick, sad sense of cameraderie about it. And I don't think those type of men even think about female porn addicts.

Wait, Yuki, quick question. How do you get American TV in Japan?

Well...they're not as bad as mustaches but...IDK they kinda make some guys look disheveled. I guess it depends on the guy and how well he maintains it and all.

[Atria35]

I like men with beards and no beards- it just depends on the type of beard. I prefer more of the goatee-types, rather than full-on facial hair. Minimal is better. And some men look better with a beard. If they have a youthful look, it makes them look more mature. Of course, the reverse is also true- I've met men who I thought would be gorgeous if they just shaved it off.

Also, I'm personally into the Discovery Health channel than TLC. I've been depressed ever since it got taken over by Oprah. Dr. G, I miss you!

[Nate]

Why are female porn addicts so frowned upon?

I've never seen them frowned upon.

But, if they are, it's probably related to the purity thread we just had. Women are supposed to be "innocent" and "pure." Women who show interest in sex are deemed "sluts" and shamed for it.

Which is incredibly stupid and sexist. :\

[Okami]

Why are female porn addicts so frowned upon?

Okami, they're not frowned upon. At least not the same extent as male counterparts.

From what I've seen, it's very intolerable for a girl or woman to be addicted to visual pornography (images or videos as opposed to novels) because women are not "wired" the way a man is. I've personally seen it as the opposite, that male porn addicts are alright, because 'boys will be boys' but for a woman to struggle in the same way...well that's just wrong.

Frowned upon by whom? Men or other women? I don't imagine other women would (though I could be wrong on this), since men seem to have a sick, sad sense of cameraderie about it. And I don't think those type of men even think about female porn addicts.

I've seen it frowned upon by both men and women because it's "improper" for a woman to crave pornography in the same way as a man. I've seen studies more recently going out to female sex addiction so it's becoming less taboo...but it just goes along with that somewhat archaic thought that women aren't supposed to enjoy sex, because that isn't lady-like...or whatever.

Also to all women who refuse to acknowledge the fact that beards are awesome and totally cool, I provide iron-clad irrefutable proof that beards are great.



YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH FACTS. BEARDS ARE THE BEST. RIKER PROVES IT.

OK, yeah he looks better with a beard. BUT it is maintained...and beards are not for every guy.

[Rusty Claymore]

Not every guy is man enough for beards. XP
