I dunno. I can't say I have ever encountered it. Maybe we just have very different experiences.
That being said, on balance I find Southern California women a lot more relaxed and nyc women to be more uptight, as a general principle. Then again, nyc is more uptight than SoCal all around, so there you go! ;-)
Whores aren't necessarily bad women. They walk a very unconventional path that leads most of them to problems, no question. There's a lot worse things a woman can do than sell her body, though I can't say I approve of the practice.
It seemed to be more the case in Hollywood, and the SF bay area. Both have statistically higher percentages of the population spring-loaded to the full auto pissed position.
There aren't that many well paying career paths for a victim our our public school system...
THis dates way before Bill Clinton. Come one.
"Sorry. But a whore is a whore is a whore."
Updated to contemporary kid speak: "A ho is a ho is a ho."
That's true. San Francisco is very much like a little Manhattan - a lot of professional people wrapped up the day's business. The 5:00 am shift at the equity trading firm upstairs in my building (men and women alike) routinely closes the elevator door in my face in their hurry to get to work - but I don't attribute it to malice or even rudeness. They are just stuck in their heads - same as the women who snap at men who open doors for them. Unless your male presence is sufficient to snap her out of her default reaction, that's what you'll get.
As for the mean women who don't appreciate holding a door or offering a seat, I'd honestly like to hear more about it from some guys who have encountered it. I'd like to hear details if anyone remembers them. Just curious, not a challenge in any way.
I think this is very true. As I said in an earlier post, don't ever apologize for being masculine and a man. That's not a license to be a boor or act rudely, of course. Nor is it a license to creep women out. Just be confident and masculine, positive and genuinely comfortable and happy.
A lot of things in life fall into place for a man when he just approaches life in a confident, masculine manner. Anything less just isn't really notable in a man - other men will look past him, and more than a few women can be quite vicious (at times) in letting a man now it.
That's unusual, as I have found women in SoCal to be very relaxed and approachable, as opposed to the terminally uptight women in nyc. I suppose our experiences are just different.
Yea, while I tend to find that level of self absorption unappealing, in itself it is seldom a sign of true malice.
Honestly, I just don't let uptight people into my life. Problem solved. :-)
Even during the time this type of behavior was at its peak, mostly I got a smile and/or a nod.
What almost invariably gets a laugh is when I hurry to step on the mat of an automatic door, look the woman in the eye, and say something like "And they say Chivalry is dead!"
Sometimes it will even start a short casual conversation.
There you go. I couldn't imagine it being all that bad. Most of it is how you carry yourself, and a portion of it has to do with whatever the woman brings to the table - good or bad.
Yep, true.
I suppose. People who know me know that I'm safe to vent on, perhaps some others are sensitive enough to know they can let off a little steam in my general direction?
When you are raising girls, all men are pigs until they've proved otherwise.
Your first comment was that these girls who hooked up were whores. There would be no whores without the whoremongers and pimps. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Men (as a group) are quick to blame women and slow to take responsibility, it's a fact of life. Men who claim differently are liars. Sorry you don't wish to acknowledge the truth about the origin of the gender wars.
Men wanted to be free of responsibility and now they don't like result, which is a lot of selfish irresponsible b!tches that act a lot like men.
Could be. My own personal demeanor is good natured, smiling, affable but with a low BS tolerance. People I know may ask my opinion now and then, but they don't vent in my direction.
It's probably because soon into the venting, I tell them to just go take care of business, and not just talk about it. :-)
I can be a gruff little fella, I admit.
After around 5 dates I walked her back to the dorm and said goodnight. I started to walk away when she grabbed me and kissed me passionately. She said that if I didn't kiss her that night she was going do it. After that our relationship became even more wonderful.
Those were great times falling in love with someone you really cared about!
LOL!
I do admit, I can be a gruff little fella. Gruff beyond my 39 years. :-)
Go get 'em!!
