Men who think they're entitled to '10s' when it comes to partners, but they're averaging a 3.
Work harder!

Oh you want a 'gym bunny' girlfriend or 'someone who looks after themselves' .... yet there you are with your beer gut. Oh and she can't go to the gym in case other guys look at her but also she better not let herself go!

Or you want a sexy, confident, earns her own money kinda woman. But after kids can she just also look after them all day, and also work so you're not having to 'pay for her to sit on her arse all day while I work'... but also take care of herself, just not at the gym where others would look at her or where manchild might have to 'babysit' his own kids. Make sure all the housework is also done because 'men don't see mess'... carry the mental load because 'you're better at organising' then perform like a porn star after a day of children, work, cleaning, household management...but not too much because men don't like girls who've 'been around the block'... so maybe be sorta slutty but virginal... toned but not too muscular... parent like you got no job, work like you got no kids... be grateful for any help but also be kind and accept men how they are because 'boys will be boys' and 'men are just like that..'

Get fucked.

Especially when it comes, as it often does, from someone calling themselves LadyGirlMarilynClaraImHavingAWomansPeriod.

Thank you @DrSbaitso

@Pinkstegosaurus

So all men are arseholes and all women who say ‘hmm maybe you’re not articulating your message reasonably’ are robo wives. Again, diluting a reasonable message when actually a decent debate about men’s question online behaviour probably wouldn’t go amiss.
Off you pop & start your own debate thread then @Pinkstegosaurus.

Not sure why you are setting yourself up as the lit crit examiner here ...

What are you bringing to the table?

DdraigGoch · 13/02/2022 12:47

I've heard so many men talk of their 'crazy ex wife' and I often think..oh really... I'm sure you were a real catch.

Sometimes their ex really is crazy (a cousin's husband's ex and a colleague's ex probably fall into this category, cousin and colleague are each now in happy relationships, the former's ex only really lost it after they lost a child). If on the other hand there's a string of "crazy exes" then the common denominator points the other way. They were probably perfectly sane before they met him.

Quirkyme · 13/02/2022 12:50

I hear you OP.

Although people rating people from the other sex, 10s/3s or otherwise I find childish.

@DrSbaitso

If my daughter settles for a numpty, I'll be having words with HER and her partner's MOTHER!

I can't believe you don't see what's wrong with this.

You can imagine the thread on here in a few years time.
TatianaBis · 13/02/2022 13:05

Love this thread.

This needs to be a blog then a bestseller then a slightly disappointing film starring Gemma Arterton that ends up promoting male myths about women that the original blog sought to puncture.

I had to look that up.

A good sense of humour will get you far.

I'm not the best looking man in the world but I'll have you laughing

You sound like a woman I friends with once who would rant about this all the time, yet she had many, many deep seated issues she needed councilling for. Like attracts like.

She was so unstable I had to distance myself. You sound a lot like her.

Aw. Wonder if she misses you.

Point her here and she can join me.

@Letsallscreamatthesistene… I wonder if this woman you once knew judged your spelling too?

Pinkstegosaurus · 13/02/2022 14:45

@ChargingBuck so I’m not allowed to have a differing opinion? Didn’t realise this was only supposed to be an echo chamber. As I’ve said a few times now, I do understand and agree with the OP’s points?

Where did I tell you your opinion wasn't 'allowed'?

I wasn't questioning your opinion, just the hectoring tone in which you decided you were going to police the thread:
Again, diluting a reasonable message when actually a decent debate about men’s question online behaviour probably wouldn’t go amiss.

Head Girling PP's writing style as if you are captain of the debating team & angling for extra points just makes people focus on the tone, not the message.

Pinkstegosaurus · 13/02/2022 15:08

I do believe tone is important though. I also have only made a handful of comments on the thread so hardly think I can be accused of policing. Off now, enjoy the thread 😊

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 13/02/2022 16:00

Wonder if she misses you.

Doubtful. I was one of many short lived yet intense friendships she tends to have.

ldontWanna · 13/02/2022 16:17

Meh a lot of men only look for women who make their life easier.. be that status, housework,kids etc. It's online and in real life.

The majority of them are stuck in "once upon a time " mode, where every woman needs a man, any man and she'll put up with anything and everything for the sake of it. They haven't realised yet that women are waking up and being independent and realised that kissing frogs is more likely to give you a disease rather than a happily ever after.

Then they bitch and moan because life is not fair, and instead of a simpering all singing and dancing princess they get a swipe left.

Funny to see you turn up on this thread, as you're having a go at women on the "not all men" thread. Haven't seen you around on any of the other threads on numerous and varying topics. Did you only sign up on this website to defend the honour of men?

Perhaps not intentionally though.
