It's official. ALL men are bastards.

[lifeisbetter]

...apart from my dad.

They really are.

For a long time I lhave ooked at their positive sides, but all men will turn out to be bastards in the end.

Sometimes men can be quite nice I suppose - especially the younger ones, who are not yet tarnished by some degree of masogyny and cannot perve over of women twenty years their junior.

What happens to them when they reach 35? They all turn out to be sad little leacherous fools.

It's their fault that the divide between men and women just gets bigger as we all get older. Because they don't mature. Women improve and men just become gross.

I'm finding it very hard to like them at all to be honest.

...apart from my dad.

And a solid 9 out of 10 women are absolutely heartless amoral money grabbing bitches.

mayorquimby but it's the men! they drive us to it with their dastardly ways

What garlicbutty said... I work in a very male dominated environment too and, sadly, concur with what she said. There are loads of "good ones" but, it seems to me, so many more bad ones.

But we only act that way because all the mean women have robbed us of all hope and our faith in humanity.
Snakes with tits.

I wonder if the type of industry has a lot to do with it being endemic in the culture of a workplace. Sales was the worst department for it in my office. All the boozy sales conferences in hotels led to a lot of shenanigans.

I don't by any means think all men are bastards, but ime I'm aware that precious few are immune to tempation.

Having said all that, the women they cheated with were usually in relationships too. But it tended to be the same few women involved, who were erm.. quite prolific in their dalliances.

six of one and half a dozen of the other majorquimby :)

BelleRomford74 I'm guessing that is said with a bit of humour, but I've heard it before.

If you like going out with the wrong 'uns because they're a bit more edgy you can't really complain that the men you meet are tossers. It's your choice.

As for executive stories. I assume they weren't shagging each other. There must have been women in there who were happy to indulge them...

I think maybe some truth in there. I heard someone say once that ' men would shag a ham sandwich out of the fridge given half a chance' .

I have a plant called Dave and its a total bastard, it won't grow!

Men are only as faithful as their options

You can never make a woman happy, it's impossible. I've never met a happy woman in my life. They're always complaining about something. You can fuck a woman with a diamond dick and make her come ten times, and she'll still complain. "Why did you make me come so hard? This diamond dick is cloudy, why didn't you go to Tiffany's? You're so fucking cheap."

Nice men are boring? Why? What's exciting about being hurt? "Nice" men aren't all beardy hippy feathery strokers, you know.

It's official

I hate all feathery strokers

what the hell is a feathery stroker ?

< ponders, strokes beard, gazes at sandals >

MrGin, feathery strokers are right fucking bastards

Fact

what like daves ?

My DH is a bit of a feathery stroker, he's not a bastard, so there I happen to like it.

I wonder how confidence feels now, having been told by other men ( he obviously thinks that women's opinions don't count) that they don't fit his alarmingly grim proclamations of what it is to be male. Not quite so smug, I hope.

I don't have a problem with daves

I don't have a problem with Mal's DH, even though he is a Feathery Stroker. It's just as well he is never going to try having sex with me, though.

I hve a problem with Ians...it's an individual thing

and a problem with Mandys

I think you're just prejudiced against feathery strokers, AF.

WeThey are humans too! Down with you anti-feathery stroker bigots!

My name is AF, and I am prejudiced against Feathery Strokers

Also people that tickle

It's the same sort of frustrating shit

I hated being tickled when I was a kid, so I ain't gonna like it now

Snorbs, if you are also called Ian, you are doomed
