So Many Complete Jackasses

Why are so many men total jackasses?

I have been a member of this board for a month, joining to get some insight on an issue with a friend, but have been drawn into discussions about men, dating, OLD, etc. I had a jackass moment myself last year with a guy and I have read similar stories. The OLD ones are one thing, but what about those women in relationships with complete tossers who abuse them verbally and physically and cheat and are selfish?

What makes them like this? Will our princes ever come?

Deeply entrenched misogyny and structural sexism. Which lots of women unknowingly internalise. I think that is the long and short of it.

Aalvarino · 23/04/2021 21:22

I don't even want a prince. Especially not a prince, actually. Bring me a serving lad with a kind heart Smile

I think this forum is very skewed in that people post mainly about relationship issues. In saying that, I do hear you. I know quite a few women in loveless and unhealthy relationships that stay for the kids or fear of being alone. I value my life too much to ever live like that.

Sandra they're wannabe E L James amateur porn enthusiasts. Funny thing is is that they think it turns us on. We have the last laugh (cringe)

Ihatesalad · 23/04/2021 22:37

@Sandra15. Ha, ha— do these idiots think this is a turn on— I have to presume some women go for this shit though

Sandra15 · 23/04/2021 22:44

@ihatesalad I couldn't believe what I was reading when this stuff came through on my phone. It was completely unsolicited. I felt like printing it all out and sticking it in a Christmas card to his mum. (Of course I didn't)

It's the dick pics that get me....they honestly think this will impress us Hmm so many men send them unsolicited and it makes me want to vomit.

CaesarsDream · 24/04/2021 08:58

I've had a similar experience of OLD and men in general. Sadly, there are many women who are married or in LTRs who are unhappy nor in love and stay out of convenience.

This being said, the longer I've been single and have had greater opportunity to foster a range of different relationships, the more I realise the enormity of twattishness there is out there from both sexes. In this time I have come across a woman who is complete psycho, a desperately arrogant and sanctimonious one, one who power trips and patronises like a man's mansplanning Tory or a stonewalling lefty, lack of basic integrity and self awareness evident.

A lot of people are jackasses and half the population are men = a lot of posts about male jackasses on a predominantly female forum.

Know your worth, set your standards and don't put up with any bull.

@Mermaidwaves 😂 I've always been totally perplexed by dick pics. My theory is it must work on some women otherwise they wouldn't continue to do it. Men tend to have a scattergun approach to online dating (mainly through necessity - let's be honest, it's us who chooses not them) so I presume it is a somewhat efficient strategy for them to take. Send out 500 dick pics and maybe 2 women bite.

I think this theory is correct. One of DS's friends approaches all women with the same "chat up" line - ""Do you want a fuck ?" When I told him that this was horrible and a bad way to speak to anyone, his answer was " some girls say yes, so the percentages work for me " !

Ihatesalad · 24/04/2021 10:59

@starrynight21. Blimey, low standards or what by some women!!

Mermaidwaves · 24/04/2021 12:18

@coronaway
How depressing! And yes if just two women out of a thousand respond it's worked!

Mermaidwaves · 24/04/2021 12:19

Sorry and @starrynight21

I have only ever received one dick pic and I'd been speaking to him for a while. In fact the same guy tried to start the sex talk the very day we matched but I ended up putting him back in his box and he apologised. Funny thing is that due to various things (lockdowns being one), we ended up speaking for 5 months before meeting and in that time I discovered a broken, caring man who in fact was nothing like the cocky sex talking guy from that first day. I got the feeling that he thought it was what was expected.

thecatsarecrazy · 24/04/2021 13:51

I used to get.. I want you to be my little spoon, I want to feel you in my arms, take you out for a meal have your hand in mine...
Now I get I'm going to fill all your holes, stretch you, and cum over your face , put you over my knee with a toy inside you...
Disgusting.

Hmmm. Does dirty talk make someone a jackass?

Personally, I could do with a bit more (any!) of that from DH.

Men are a bit damned if they do or don't aren't they...of course, JUST dirty talk is crude and unpleasant. But men and women both have sexual thoughts and needs, I suppose there's something to be said for sharing them honestly. And the argument for it being about knowing the time and place can be tricky- Is it that easy to know when the right time and place is? Mind reading is a skill few possess.

@thecatsarecrazy no his name is Ian unless he' lied about it.

This one is a truck driver from Barnsley. He sends loads of xxxxx and if I only do 3 or none he wants to know if I'm in a mood with him

I don't mind a bit of dirty talk but when it becomes degrading like I'm going to deep throat you and give you a facial I'm not into it anymore

I see it as a modern day version of flashing, the flasher does it because he enjoys the shock/intimidation factor but flashers were rare compared to dick pic senders.
I think this is because potential flashers (aka men who would enjoy exposing themselves) were put off by the risks and downsides of doing it in real life, but give them a chance to expose themselves with little cost and they gleefully rush in like a naked mole rat up a drainpipe

Miasicarisatia · 24/04/2021 17:54

and pulsing against u
for me the worst part is the 'u' it just makes him seem as dumb as a rock... not that one would risk using the word 'rock'
