I said..."men don't know what they want EITHER"...as in...nobody knows what they want...so it's not really a generalization as much as it is a statement of observed fact.


That's actually one of the most blatant generalizations of all. Unless, of course, you've spoken with every man on the planet in order to reach your conclusions about what men do or do not know.

I would also disagree with your premise that "nobody knows what they want" -- while I would submit that this is true in many cases, the use of the word "nobody" is another overgeneralization not based in any sort of factuality.




Right...and now you're being nit picky just to be nit picky and have nothing new or original to say.

Am I guilty of generalizations...of course. Dare I say...we all are. There again, I don't spend all day with everyone on earth, so I can't actually say that...now can I?

Men don't know what they want either...you boys are walking contradictions.



Hmmmm....the overgeneralizing is getting a bit thick in here today. Anybody have a machete?

In reality, I know exactly what I want. The only problem is that it doesn't exist anymore....




And wouldn't you be generalizing by saying that it doesn't exist anymore?

This is one of those songs that never end...


Apples and oranges. Stegosauruses don't exist anymore. I don't see that as overgeneralizing, I just see that as acknowledging the (admittedly subjectively-based) fact that I've never seen one.

Generalizing is when you lump a bunch of potentially-dissimilar things ("Why are all men pigs?" "Why do all women lie?" and threads of that nature) into one category. I'm talking about one thing (i.e., what I would like to find) and then stating that, as far as I can tell, this particular thing no longer exists. I see no way this could be considered "generalizing."



Unless you're looking for a specific person then it is generalizing.

What are you looking for? Unless it's something SO specific that only ONE person could fit the bill...then it is generalizing.

The beginning.

Why wouldn't you start any book at the beginning?

Oh...and one more little statement about this...

I said..."men don't know what they want EITHER"...as in...nobody knows what they want...so it's not really a generalization as much as it is a statement of observed fact.

And please...spare me how you know what you want...cause it's what everyone wants...

Relationships are like pizza...

They're all basically the same...

Round. Crust. Pizza Sauce. Cheese.

Where they start to differ are the toppings...and where I might want mushrooms, black olives, and onions...you might want pepperoni and anchovies.

But maybe that's what you want today...but tomorrow you don't really want anchovies anymore, but would rather have extra cheese.

Wants and desires are fluid...they change as we change. And I'd like to think that we change everyday. Who I am today is not who I was yesterday and not who I will be tomorrow.

I'd be more concerned with the HIGH amount of personal information you have on your profile rather than the fact that 32-40 year old men are adding you.

And trust me...a large majority of men (I'm covering my generalizing behind here) between the ages of 20 and 32...are only going to talk to you if you have a copy of Call of Duty World at War.

Does anyone form their own opinions these days?

Why do YOU dislike Fox News? And if so, why watch it? Why bother to follow it at all? That would be like proclaiming to hate lima beans then posting a 1200 word blog about how lima beans are awful...and continue to serve them at dinner.

whats make me happy is the love of my life sandra my soon to be wife and i love her with all of my heart


Ok...Does Sandra know you have a profile you made less than a month ago seeking women to marry? Cause I JUST looked at your profile and it pretty much reads like a singles ad...I'm pretty positive that if I had someone who made me happy and was the love of my life that I wouldn't have a profile that claimed I was looking for a relationship.

But hey...whatever.

I think men should stop making statistical generalizations about women

Men don't know what they want either...you boys are walking contradictions.


I can generalize but you can't, that's how it sounds to me.

We all do it intentionally or not.


The point was why was he worrying about some 80/20 factoid instead of trying to learn something about women and relationships. No one actually KNOWS what they want. It's like being in line at the biggest buffet and starving.

You don't want to make the wrong choice...but on the other hand...that mac and cheese looks amazing.

I think men should stop making statistical generalizations about women and what they want and instead pay closer attention to being thoughtful.

But that's just my .02.

Cause...even when we tell you what we want...you manage to make it into us being picky, nagging, or not appreciating what you do for us.

Which just isn't the case.

So...80/20? Who cares...

Men don't know what they want either...you boys are walking contradictions.


Wow...you are awesome. Did I welcome you to the site yet? Oh, right, yes I did...well, welcome to the site again anyway.


Hahahah....Thanks...again!

My three best friends ARE male....and I'm not a blip on their radar.

Why?

Cause they've seen me at my very very worst and my very very best.

We've been through **** together they would never want to go through with a girlfriend....ya know...crazy trips to Mexico...hookers in Montreal...getting completely plastered on the golf course...

So yeah...I think it's possible.

If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.


Blues despair and agony on me.

you and me both...I could fall into a barrel of t!ts and come up sucking my thumb....


Seriously? the word T!ts is edited out? when did THAT become a swear word?


Better than that...you can't type Dickinson...As in the famous poet Emily Dickinson from Amherst, Mass...

NOT EVERY BODY IS WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE....frustrated


My issue is i meet women who don't know what they hell they want...
Which is in itself so annoying...



WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WOMEN WANT!?!?!?!?!?!slaphead


Honestly? We want men to figure out what THEY want. We can't be curvy and natural and look like the girls in Playboy. We can't be successful bread winners and stay at home and raise your children while making you dinner and fluffing your slippers. We can't be innocent school girls and strippers...wait...yes we can. HAHAHAHAH

Regardless...we know what we want...we want you to be mindreaders. Duh.


Hell,
Its more sexy anyway to find a woman with a brain then a D sized bust, but that mindreader thing totally F*cks up my head lol...


Hey...you guys wanted to know what we wanted. LOL

And I have way more brains than I do bust...So I guess I'm good.
