@MeSanniesareBrannies

You disregarded the majority of my initial comment to you, and it’s import, but let’s parse this.

You: they just don’t bitch about it on forums. And if they do XXX.

Me: Men bitch about it constantly.

You: I never said they didn’t.

Me: yes, you did. Here’s a direct quote.

You: I said they didn’t, but if they did. Therefore, I never said they didn’t.

Okay, then.

What the actual fuck?

[quote OutOfSite]@Tealtalk whatever 🤷🏻‍♀️

For what's it worth, I agree with your last comment. In fact, I agree with most of what you've said. Just pointing out that women can be as bad.[/quote]
And nowhere did I say that your personal experiences may not have been with women who have been just as bad
I’m talking about which gender tends to be more concerned with appearance

I'm out. Have fun putting down men.

@Hrpuffnstuff1

😂😂I'm sure there's forums asking rate my profile for dating apps.

Some guys are like, I have a good profile, I'm handsome, good job but I can't get any matches.
Help!
Then you look at the profile, and they're nothing but a complete gimp 😂😂.

@Hrpuffnstuff1 Oooh where are these forums? Would love a nosey 😂
MeSanniesareBrannies · 05/01/2022 22:20

I love that this person has commented multiple times, made very little sense and then flounced when it was pointed out. ‘Putting men down’, indeed. 😂

Oh boy you really need to look at the actual woman hating all over the internet I think it’s very sad that you think women discussing their experiences of being objectified and scrutinised is somehow putting men down

Yes indeed
Craftycorvid · 05/01/2022 22:43

I think my reply would go ‘do you want to date me or assess me for a general anaesthetic?’ If he says ‘both’ definitely run....

Years ago I was OLD. Was chatting with a guy for a little while, we exchanged numbers. He called me, during the conversation he asked me what size I was. I’m 5,10, and was a size 12 at the time. When I told him there was silence, followed by ‘ sorry but I don’t date girls your size. I like my women to look like they’ve holidayed in Auschwitz !!!’ then promptly hung up before I could even reply

Christ. Lucky escape there.

“As a average looking guy I have concluded what is happening is this. Lets say I am a '6'... I go online and want to meet '7 8 9 and 10s' ... They go online and are looking to meet '9 and 10s'... those '9 and 10s' want to meet other 9 and 10s... so what is the result? The people having all the fun with a week full of dates are the 9/10 males and females.”

I AM CRYING! 😂😂😂

So, according to his grotesque rating system, he’s going for women who are more attractive than him…but he feels the issue is that said women also want extremely attractive men. So, he’s destined to be alone. Goodness, what could be the solution to this problem? Adjusting his own expectations? Heavens, no!

This is his plan, instead:

“I need to be a photographer.. and take nude pictures of women.. then things can go from there…”

Hrpuffnstuff1 · 05/01/2022 23:50

Haha ..
There's a poster who starts trying to explain why women like tall men.
Tall men have all the resources etc and better food.

Really, my brother is 6ft 2 I'm 5ft 8, same parents, same food.
Must've been the extra pocket he got then.

😂😂
The best ones are the people trying to blame the algorithm or worst trying to explain it scientifically.
No wonder they can't get a date, the chat must be sooo much fun ..

@MrsTerryPratchett

Ask him for cock measurements, girth and length, then say, "never mind" and block.
^😂please do this
moremoony · 06/01/2022 11:54

Yep. Weird. Block

Loved H R Pufnstuf when I was little! And that creepy Lidsville.

I don't give a shit about anyone's height or weight, I'm interested in their personality, and I'd expect the same from anyone I date. Different strokes for different anthropomorphic hats folks.
