I am probably going to get slammed for this answer. But this is why I sometimes think posting in the forums hurts someones chances of finding their partner on these dating sites. There are always exceptions to every rule, however. There is as much if not more negativity than positive comments. We all have walls built really high and we are defensive to a degree when it comes to dating and meeting people. Some people are just way too negative and I can't figure out how they think its going to help their chance of finding someone to have in their life. Every answer they give is negative and degrading not only to themself but the other gender as well.

...that, judging by a lot of the posts round here lately, that women here actually HATE men.

I have seen so many " Men are Pigs " and " Why are men cheaters " type threads lately, that it's making me question whether the women here ( not all of you, but an awful lot of you ) really want to find a decent guy, or whether they just want to have some place to piss and moan about how awful we all ( men ) are.

People wonder why I am pessimistic about finding someone...

Well...it's kinda difficult to have a positive attitude when you keep getting lumped in with all the bad stuff that " men " do. The fact that a dude has a penis automatically sets him up with at least two strikes against him.

The chances of being a decent guy and finding someone who will appreciate that is pretty slim in the first place.

It's that much more difficult with all of the bitter, screwed over ladies letting everyone know how much " Men Suck ".

So much for a dating site avoiding gender bashing.



Well if she is heterosexual I think having a penis would give ya two merits....


You might think. But the problem is, she's already ( in most cases ) dealt with a few of the guys that penises come attached to.

That would mean that a guy actually having one starts him off with two strikes because every other guy she's dealt with had one too.


my desired response is entirely too crude for me to voice in this format...so what it comes down to..regardless of the offense..men are not at fault..those at fault are boys(children) disguised as men and not worth the time but full of the charm

men, take a little looking for..their confidence is strong but subtle not flashy...sincerity, fortitude, reliability, and patience, yes..


Right. " MEN " are not at fault.

But guess what happens. If the " child " she dealt with was over 20 or so, then he becomes a " man " simply by extension.

Then, every other man gets lumped into whatever category she chooses to call whatever he did to her.

Like I said, there are exceptions to it. Lots of them. But no matter how many don't do that kind of thing, there are still WAY too many of them that do for a decent guy to stand a sporting chance.

I do want to point out that I am not pointing fingers at anyone in particular. Nor am I generalizing all women in this behavior.

Good point.
I think there are probably as many men out there
thinking the same thing about women, "they are cheaters," (you know the rest of the adjectives) so on.

These sites are filled with players and users looking for "belt notches" or a "one-nighter."

It does make it hard for the "real" person to find someone.

Try not to let the bashers get you down, I do believe they are the minority but probably the "loudest" and like to be in the spotlight so they keep creating the threads.

Good luck in your search.
I agree......Hi lady....wink

You're just noticing that NOW?? Dang, I thought you were a lot further ahead of the game.

i wholeheartedly agree with the OP.

also, although there are women bashing threads as well, created by men, the number of men bashing types FAR outweigh them, as well as they are WAY more tolerated, even laughed off.

if people stopped looking at the little faults that we all have, collectively as a gender, and individually as a person, they just might find a good guy, or a good gal, underneath it all.

instead such high expectations are held, and they end up with nothing. nothing except grudges, gripes, and general animosity. and then those very types are the same ones who bemoan about why they can't find a nice guy.

I think that on both gender's there a lot of bitterness. I look at those people as people that hasn't worked on themselves. I don't let them bother me.
As far as not liking men just so nottrue.

there does seem to be more lately. Or maybe I'm just noticing. I don't know...either way it's sad. We've all been hurt and it's a shame to take it out on the rest of the population...or even worse....on your next boyfriend or girlfriend.

These make me crazy regardless of which gender is bashing the other...and so unfair to all the good people out there, who I still believe are most of us.

I find men very entertaining (in small doses).

I think people who are bashing the opposite sex may have a "broken picker" or "leap too quickly". If one continues to do the same things and expect different results, then who has the problem here?

Rushing into a relationship before you take the time to get to know someone is asking for trouble. The insincere will not stay around long.

You don't want to be lumped in with most men, yet you're lumping most women here together and saying they hate men?

There's a lot of truth to the old adage, "Once bitten, twice shy." I think it's obvious after one spends a little time on here that most of us have been bitten more than once.

One good thing about the judgmental attacks and is that it lets the rest of us see something of that person's attitude & personality as well as providing us the opportunity to present evidence of ours. I do get tired of it somedays, whether it's against men, women, or both; however, it's hard to not be pessimistic or fatalistic . . . even on here.
