I'm 5'2" which is short. I used to think Paris was pretty but her behavior is spoiled brattish. The only man she could marry is one on her level.
You may want to stay single forever, but I don't know too many girls would be willing to stay single that way either.
I did not say I wanted to. I just am not willing to put up with a certain level of hoop jumping. Oh I think some of it is unavoidable... but no beyond a certain point.
ooo my lowsy typn is in rare form today
ping! ;-)
LOL
I took the first sentence to mean him saying "I won't do anything for you, even to get you to like me"
And the second sentence to mean "Women will do antyhing for men to get them to like them".
Which ain't always true. Often, we couldn't give a rats patooty what ya think about us. Really.
OK, maybe most of the time.
There is an old saying among Japanese women, "A good husband is healthy and absent".
There aren't too many guys shorter than you statistically speaking (IIRC), so, hey, buck up. :D
Thanks :-)
LOL!
Why do you "take it" that that's a projection? In fact, it's a statistic based on a house-by-house census. Look, rather than admit that generalizations are not "necessary" (again, your word) in discussing cultural phenomena, you're willing to play word games and continually shift the argument. Doesn't make for a very fruitful discussion.
Think about the term, "mooning someone".
Well... I saw the title of this thread, and four single-guy FReepers came to mind... ;-D
Show me the census.

Unless you take a census every year, you're going to use generalizations or not have a very involved discussion.
Really, see my earlier posts about the utility of generalizations. It's a canard to say that they are out of bounds.
Well, if you're getting a lot of spontaneous date requests..you must be very special..so take it as a compliment..you've got that "je ne sais quois" working, I guess..but tis true that guys are petrified of rejection..BTW..It's nice that you don't want to lie, even to spare their feelings..I admire that..but there is a happy medium..tell the guy that you're flattered, but you've taken a break from dating for a while...an dr emeber, a "break" can be 5 minutes, days, weeks, or 5 months.) tell them YOU'RE flattered, and ask them for their number, that maybe you'll call THEM later....it'll make them feel great...
Rosie.... I go away for a bit and you've got guys givin' you compliments (I think) in French... ;~D
Show me the census.
Fatalis, you asked me to make three statements on cultural phenomena that are not generalizations. I assumed you wanted an example of such a statement, so I gave you one. Of course the statistics (1.5%, etc.) are not real, but surely you know that many statistics are based on house-by-house censuses rather than projections.
Probably, if you and I met face to face, we could find a lot to agree on. I think we're both better than this discussion. Agreed? (Extending hand for shake.)
LOL!
I'm not getting a lot, actually...which is why I fail so badly when I do have to turn people down. It's happened just a few times in my lifetime, and therefore I don't exactly have the knack!
But your advice is good, I think! ;-) Thanks!
