The Difference Between Men and Women

Not open for further replies.
^Ain't nothing big and strapping about me. Sorry, ladies, but if you don't want to post here then don't. I have that choice and so do you. Constantly complaining that there are less women here isn't going to help attract more.
 
I'm still waiting for some of these to come from the women. (Granted, I don't know who is who, I have a couple of guesses whose female, but thats about it.)

Come on, I know there are some that make men look bad. We fart in public for one thing. Women, well according to them they don't fart, but they are atleast more polite about it.

I don't see the point in trying to make men "look bad". Despite intentions, I think these sorts of threads often fall very short of either humor or insight, and just create more misunderstandings.

Yep, that's why I haven't offered any suggestions.

Oh, and Mythbusters firmly disproved the notion that women, especially pretty women, don't fart too. :)

Yeah, but it seems like you only originally posted when you saw something that might be construed as a negative generality about men. I know later you made that comment about not all women loving shoes, but that wasn't evident in your first post at all.

Sorry if I'm not making much sense, but it seems like that sort of behavior is just as divisive.

My first post in this thread.

That post was clearly meant to say that not all men love cars and not all women love shoes as a response to this. There was no later about it. My very first post disagreed with the women all love shoes stereotype. If that is divisive then we'll have to be divided. I do not, however, think it was.
 
Thank you. That's the answer I was going for. ;)

Of course it was. You and JW are making a generalisation in an attempt to criticise people who make generalisations. Why do either of you post here if you have such a low opinion of other posters ?
 
I'm continually baffled by this aspect of this board. Why is it so prevalent here?? :vulcan:

Because half the guys here don't know any girls in real life and are just basing it on what they see on TV.

Thank you. That's the answer I was going for. ;)

I think a lot of it is being afraid of something they don't understand so they try to put down a whole other half of the population to pretend they are knowledgeable.
 
Generalising about a bunch of people who's attitudes you have spent quite a long time observing is not the same as generalising about entire genders.

Not to defend some of the ideas in this thread, but who says they haven't been observing the opposite sex ?

Posting here for entertainment is trolling? :lol:

What, am I supposed to be posting here for work?

Your suggestion is that the guys posting in this thread don't know anything about women because they don't have girlfriends and don't get to meet a lot of women ? Correct ?

You and JW might find it very easy to just walk up to anyone you find attractive and have their phone number three seconds later. I don't know. If you think that is normal for people who post on a Star Trek message board then I do not think you know your audience very well.

What do you think your generalisations about people here were going to get you ? Hugs and puppies ?

What the whole of it?:lol:

Everybody is different, I know countless people that entirely buck the stereotypes that are being attributed to them en masse here which leads me to agree that those who think these stereotypes really do apply are simply lacking in experience. That's a logical conclusion.

Stereotyping 51% of the worlds population is quite different to observing a small group of people who reveal FAR too much personal info here and then commenting on what you see limited to that small group of people. Not even comparable.

Sure, but knowing a few women doesn't make you an expert either.
 
*Bangs head on desk*

What the hell, is this stereotype day on the BBS?
I'm bewildered at the battle-of-the-sexes turn this forum has suddenly taken too. :wtf: All we need now is Derek Batey as our host for the evening... :cardie: :cardie: :cardie:

Unfortunately, blablover5 won't be happy until she's talked every single woman on this board in to leaving whether her blatant lies about the men who post here are true or not.
