Men generally want money in the bank, good job, big car, blabla, status/ego etc.


All of them want that? How do you know?

You were perfectly happy making a generalization about "all" single men, generally speaking just moments ago.


Single man = growing bank account

Well most of men do it all the time. They live oblivious to the existence of their spouse. So we'll staying alone is also an obvious fact. Well, difficult it may be but possible, yes.

Done. Read it again and got it as correct the second time as I did the first time, which is what prompted me TO REply when pointing it out.

The "all" in front of your cited "single men" is as presumed as the "all" was presumed in the other poster's "men", when you called her out on it.

*Odd* that you can't see it.

The quote was, "Men 'generally' want money in the bank", not "all" men want money in the bank...Perhaps you should take your own advice and read it again....

Yeah my vision seem to be limited only to the words that are actually there. And though you did add my quote to your, no doubt very enlightening translation of my single sentence, even now it's not hard to spot alteration in your version vs. what I wrote.

Yet I admit that having good imagination and creativity are vital characteristics of an intelligent thinking person, who you have proven to be in so many previous threads already, so I'm glad to see you're not lowered your standards in this thread as well.
And all it took was a single line. :)

It was a question to know if you're speaking of "all men" or not. And now you have answered it. Thank you :)

My bad, val.


Didn't realize that being "an intelligent thinking person" meant one was supposed to overlook hypocrisy.


I'll *try* to do better next time and be less of "an intelligent thinking person"; it would almost virtually kill me to discover that you no longer found me "intelligent thinking".


whoa




ETA: OOOOOPS. Forgot to include the quote, so others will know I am simply REsponding and REplying to another.

Nah don't be silly, ofc continue to search and destroy all the hypocrisy you see around you. That's what makes reading your postings a pleasure and I'd not do anything to discourage you from keeping your current style. But just you know, it would not hurt to remind yourself, no doubt a very familiar saying (supposedly from Sigmund Freud) "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" (though coming from Bill Clinton it would probably sound horribly wrong).

Thank you for defending my honour, lol. I was happily busy drawing oracle cards from my new deck :) Amazing what can happen here in such a short time and even more amazing how ppl get sore when they feel personally attacked (I assume) when I'm merely pointing out a difference between men and women. Most of them of course, there's always exceptions to every rule. And only did so after you implied that women bleed a man's bank account dry - all in one sentence - a suggestion that is absolutely not true. I always sense old hurt in such implications, but of course I could be wrong. Maybe I've just been doing oracle cards for too long :tongue:
And sorry to say but Mrld_ii was right.
No hard feelings as far as I'm concerned, maybe just don't jump to conclusions so fast!

Someone please pass me the popcorn!

~WHEW~ So you've decided, then, that I am allowed to continue to post as I wish? What a relief!!!


Yes, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"; it is also true that a missing "all" in front of a written "Men, generally" carries the same weight as the same missing "all" in front of a written "Single Men = ".


Though, for some *odd* reason, her perceived "all" looked exactly the same as your non-existent "all",


all the while both "all"s were not even there.

of course they can, and women can survive without men. But most ( men & women) prefer not to for many reasons.. all good, in my book. I think a good couple bring out the best in each other. And on occasion , the worst. but that too is normal. Both bring ways and point of views into the relationship that only a man or woman can. And I think that is what both really want.. the balance.

I wouldn't say "no" to that either, but not cos I wanted a new car for status purposes, but for safety. I love my little Opel Agila, but she's 14 years old, on her last legs, and I don't always feel comfy driving in her anymore. Used to regularly make 3-4 hr drives, but daren't do that anymore.
The bus ... sod that! :tongue:

What was this topic about? Cannot remember, just that someone mentioned popcorn and I never got my share tears
