Ah. You are confusing me with a completely different person. I never said that.

You did make assumptions as I pointed out. I am asking you why, as we're complete strangers and there's no way you'd know why I would chose to date someone. You seemed to be talking to me, not speaking generally about everyone. That's why I asked.

You keep going on about feelings men are having that are being ignored, so I was giving you the chance to give examples of these feelings. If you choose not to, fine. Just trying to understand where you're coming from.

You did make that statement on page 11 of this thread. I was in the middle of replying to you; my last posting and unable to search for it at that time. I am replying to your statements, such as you've been replying to mine or others'.

I failed to use the word "PHYSIOLOGY" in my second last posting instead I used the sexuality for simpler comprehension. I also stated in my last posting that women dating younger men was not an issue for me only interested in why you prefer younger men.

As for feelings read some of the posting's not just in this thread but also other threads. I know we all like to reply to what we read just prior to our post. Therefor; you may have missed some of the postings and you may not have been involved in some of the other thread discussion.

Way to go Dodo_David you create a serious discussion and then run for the animal shelter to feed on cats'.

Again, you're confusing me with a completely different person. I did not make that statement. Sweetestgirl made that statement. We are two different people.

You started off by saying if you were correct, women prefer older men. I responded saying that was not correct for everyone and you went on about sexual issues and not being happy with a partner. I had been responding specifically about me, since I can only speak for myself. You did not say at the time you were speaking others, which is what caused the confusion. Since I had responded about myself, it seemed to me that you had been assuming why I dated men my age or a bit younger. Now I know that you were speaking about other people who choose to date younger men due to sexual issues, I guess.

Well, everyone has to take a break to eat every now and then.

That's right. You are getting statements made by two different people mixed up. Sweetestgirl, not singmesweet, made the statement that you are responding to.

As for the feelings of men being ignored . . . well . . . you have been asked to give examples of what you are talking about, and thus far, you have not done so.

The feelings you're expressing are not exclusive to males Andy....Women can and do feel this way too...
At the risk of being accused of making a passive aggressive attack on you I am going to tell you what I think......I think you use anger to mask pain..In the above post you express a fair amount of anger, but you also express hurt, pain, disappointment, and a willingness to communicate openly....You show a side of yourself that people can relate to...NO diagnosis, NO advice just this....If you let them, I think you will find the majority of people here and elsewhere do care about each other....

Your right it was a different person on page 11 I was referring to. My mistake for not being more careful and just glancing at the names. And yes Dodo I realized that once she brought it to my attention and you made your last post before I was able to post my response.

When looking at relationships men have generally been somewhat older than the woman. This is not always the case I agree.

It is my experience personally and with men who have dated older women that sexuallity is part of the attraction. It is common knowledge that women peek in sexuallity around and through their thirties. Men in their early twenties.

You may look at younger men due to life expediency, it really is your choice and decission. I'm not judging you for your decisions on what you chose is right for you and your personal relationship.

And as for an example which one would you prefer: how to be a father, dating a woman, finding equality between genders, men who want women to be properous, men don't understand women (on some issue yes), shall I continue the list of examples or has societial discussions provided this differences in oponions themself.

You are referring to opinions, not feelings.

Are you saying that men are being told to keep their opinions to themselves and to let women have their way?

Men have their opinions about women but they have been allowed to use those "opinions" to control women around the world for far too long. They are just opinions, not facts. That is the issue with our men controlled society even today.

Men cannot tell women about their bodies and their needs since they can't understand them at all.

And men throughout the governing history didn't put much stock in what a woman said she needed. They actually preferred a woman who claimed to need nothing.

There is no war on men but as with religion, the ones who have had the advantage for a long time feel put out when the advantage dwindles.

Opinions are feelings in regards to an issue or topic. Opinions can be stated by data collection or by experiences that are not included/fit in; in data collection.

I would not go as far to say "...men are being told to keep their opinions to themselves..."; what I am trying to say is when a man voice his opinion/feelings about a topic and it does not coincide with the normal publication of facts (known to people) that men do not understand the issue, or women's perceptions on the issuse.

This maybe caused by experiences that people learn in daily life and voice not to everyone. Men have (in general) try to protect women from societial abuse since men are generally the one's who experiences the stigma (in modern day society). A man to blame is inflammed a woman at fault we try to find greater understanding, because it does not fit into the data collected.

How did you prepare them? What's the best part of a cat? Or is it an ancient Chinese secret?

Feelings are not opinions. Feelings are not facts.

Feelings are emotions such as anger, happiness, sadness, fear, etc.

A person can express an opinion or state a fact without expressing a feeling and vice-versa.

As for the rest of your message, perhaps someone else can translate it for me, because I can't make any sense out of it.

As for your other question I did answer it you did not agree or prefer to understand what was stated. This happens to all people until you think about what one say's or new information is acquired on one who then changes their opinion or understands the other person's opinion/feeling.

Where in the world have you nay-sayers been? There sure is a major problem between men and women. This article goes straight to the heart of the matter. If you have any doubts as to how women truly feel about men, go into some of the lady dating chat rooms. Take a look at the women married but cheating sites. Talk about angry and bitter, you'll catch the truth as to how women feel about the lesser man of today.
Frankly, men deserve this. Most men let a woman walk all over them and then bemoan their misfortune because they were not "man enough" for her.
This is exactly why, after I filed for divorce and custody of our three children (and won too), I have not remarried.
And, folks, that was 37 years ago. I now subscribe to the old-fashioned club, the 4F Club. I'm just getting even for the guys who roll over and beg.

And to think us men get called dishonest about our feelings...

I cannot prescribe to this lifestyle even though some men do take comfort in it. There are hazards with being a member of the 4F club. Disease is only a small part of the hazard. Also you will wear through the herd pretty fast. A lot of men do INDEED deserve what they get. I have seen and experienced what friends of mine have done to myself and others for pu$$y. And then when kitty runs off on them they are left Friendless and lamenting!

I have female friends and customers that I really have no sexual interest in at all. A couple of the women I work for are really hot. I have thought of the idea of bending them over a couch and letting 14 years worth of 7 year itch go on them but the headaches afterwords are not worth it. I don't piss where I eat. More often than not when I start getting involved like that with a customer things get bent and weird. And trust me I do look at women a lot! SO MANY CHOICES but I want a woman who is just head and shoulders above the rest. I want the exceptional woman. Evey species has them.

An "Exceptional" is any creature that does things not characteristic or unusually intelligent for its gene type. I have seen a cow that thought it was a horse and even stood there to be saddled up. It was very friendly and even responsive to verbal commands. That was one example. Another is a pet rat I had that learned tricks far faster than any rat I knew and was super affectionate with me. She would leap from the cage she was kept in and land on my shoulder if I passed and didn't give her any attention. I likewise had a pet rabbit that was spared from the butcher block because she just had too damn much personality. Where the other rabbits hid in terror this one demanded attention and followed me around like a dog. It knew its name, came when I called for her, and I could pick her up without her trying to gut me with her back feet. I have seen dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and a host of other animals that just rise above the rest of their respective kind.

And all I find around me are just humans. Sometimes I do come across a human that does shine above the others so I do have some hope left in me. Being a dick about it though may scare off the woman of my dreams and rising above the pain and anguish I have to endure is hard. I can appreciate your way of coping though since a lot of women bring this change in men's attitude by their own attitude they refuse to acknowledge.

You empower the oppressed they become the oppressor. Men and women get caught up in this bitter love hate cycle with no idea how to break it. It goes both ways but more often than not women refuse more often than men to admitting guilt for behavioral deviation. All of the progress we have made since the 1950s and earlier has been tarnished by all the over compensation especially from a racial and sexual social issues. Society is a lie that lied to us. Church is a lie that lied to us. The Media is a lie that especially lied to us. Government lies to us. But there is one thing I can say and that is you my friend refuse to live a lie! KUDOS TO YOU! At least you can admit openly how you choose to live your lifestyle!

But in the end it is this form of trust issue I wish to avoid in my personal life. If I can't trust a woman why am I in bed with her in the first place? that was how I was raised and every time I let down on that standard I wind up paying for it later. Trust is the one thing I got that can't be paid for.

You did in a recent posting yesterday STATE "...that you do not care to understand men that you do not care for...". That society is to blame for you not wanting to understand these other men. <<<< I didn't say that either. Is there yet a third woman in his little black book?

He has already misunderstood me once

but to be advised that singme will have far more patience to help you understand....I'm more like OK I explained it once....I'm done here

no I did not - al least not the way I am being misquoted above....

you guys leave me outta it - I just wanna rock

WHAT???? where is that planet - I wanna go!!!!!
