I’m glad I’m single women are too hard to figure out. I think the thing that really turned me off to them is their mood swings. One minute they’re nice as pie and the next out come the claws. Is there a stable non-psycho one of them to be found? I seriuosly doubt it.

  1. Nah, we’re all crazy. But it makes up for the fact that a lot of men are really boring and apathetic. God works in mysterious ways …

  5. Maybe it’s because most of us deal with men. I’m glad you’re single, too. One less woman to cook, clean and pick up after the likes of you is one woman saved from a life of fucking boredom and drudgery. And, no, sex doesn’t make up for it.

  6. haha, i knew this would happen to the OP. Men are just too simple to understand the delicate little flowers out there………..riiight! It may be an unpopular statement, but women do tend ( i said TEND!! ) to be more of the mood swingy side than men. Lily – you are right though, a lot of guys are boring as shit. They just grunt one syllable answers and have nothing meaningful to add to a conversation. It the art of conversation dead? For the record – I am 25/m

  8. You try dealing with wonky hormones, buster, or cramps that cut you in two while you bleed like a stuck pig once a month – let’s not even go into the dynamics or sheer agony of labour – if a man had to go through any of this fucking shit, you can be sure the world would be a much different place. So shut your collective pieholes and either put up or shut up. Or get yourself a pound of liver to whack off into.

  12. I think some women are just plain bitches and use the cramps/hormones as an excuse. I just take Midol and all is good. We’re the ones who have babies. I stopped bitching about that long ago because no matter how hard I try, men will never be able to give birth, and so they will never get it. No use in complaining.

  13. They are hard to figure out because you don’t steep when you teabag………………I mean, watch something from Johnny Depp, chicks dig him…

  14. I’m on the other side of the hormone train, I’m afraid. But I know one thing – every woman I know who’s been married will never, under any circumstances, do it again. Now, let me go down to Sobeys for a nice fat zuchinni.Oh, by the way, Midol doesn’t cure everything, sweetcakes.

  15. Bitc#es be crazy, thats it! :-)A lot of girls recognize it. Funny enough, the craziest are the ones who say that other girls are, but they aren’t.Best ones are the ones that admit everyone is, but their just a little crazy. Girls like boys who can accept and come to terms with their attitudes are muuuuuuch easier to deal with. yessir!

  17. Dating is not this gender war that people have made it out to be. It’s not a question of men v.s. women. It just isn’t.I can’t tell you how sick and tired I am of encountering women who hold me accountable (in some way) for stuff other guys have done to them, for no other reason other than “men are all the same”. Men are not all the same. Any bitch that goes through life will either continue to get fucked over. An “all you men are the same” is so fucking unattractive. All these types of women attract scum of the earth because that is what they (the women) think all men are. These women think all men are assholes, so that is what they will attract…assholes. Good men (men with a spine) find these women’s attitudes very unattractive, and any man with brains will avoid these women. Who wants to date a woman, treat her well, and then the woman still thinks he is an asshole because other men have fucked her over? It happens alot. I’m not saying that we (men and women) shouldn’t be sensitive towards the fact that others have been hurt in the past, I draw the line and I refuse to be held accountable for something I didn’t dop, just because I am a man.Now, I am only using women as an example, because as a straight man, I have not had experiences with men. But OP, perhaps this is the case with you. Maybe the good women out there see you as a bitter, bitter person who is angry over what other women have done to him. Maybe the good women out there don’t want to be with a man who is just going to judge them based on what other women have done to him. Just like “all men” are NOT the same, women are not the same. They are individuals just like we are.

  18. So true Bob. If I thought all men were the same, I’d never date again. There are just bad matches. So what are men looking for? I’d love to know …

  20. First off, let me apologize for the missing words and incomplete sentences in my previous post. Being sick does that to me sometimes.Lily, I don’t know about other men, but I would have to say that it is important to me that a woman be understanding and not make a assumptions, and then hold those assumptions as being true, when they aren’t. I won’t get into specifics, but I have some physical ailments and I have a rather unique home life that is very stressful at times. ( I will say that I am able to walk, and that I take care of my mom.) so this is why being understanding is a very important quality. It seems like the “mama’s boy” tag always seems to follow me, when all I am doing is being an adult and handling the situation that I am in. And if I am starting to see a woman who has had a true “mama’s boy” in their past (i.e. a man who lives at home for no good reason), then somehow the woman thinks I am just like them, and any effort they were putting into getting to know me, ends. Then there have been times that I haven’t disclosed my homelife to the woman right away, then I am deemed to be a liar. Don’t people understand that there is a learning curve when it comes to getting to know someone, and that curve is hard to gauge because it is different depending on who you encounter? By learning curve, I mean the rate at which you let them know about key portions of your life, not to be deceptive, but to give the person some indication of who you are. I wouldn’t expect anyone to treat me any better than I treat them. For example, if she is cooking, then at some point I will be returning the favor or doing something else for her or both of us. I am not a child, so I wouldn’t expect someone to pick up my clothes, or take care of me in that way. when i hear people complain about picking up someone’s clothes, doing all the cleaning, etc, I wonder “what (if anything) is your partner contributing to the relationship, and why the fuck are you allowing yourself to be treated this way? If you are allowing it, why are you complaining?”To put it more succinctly, I would love to meet someone who is understanding, honest, intelligent, fair, and someone that I just have overall chemistry with.

  21. I would say if you stay with the same women long enough it gets easier . You know how to feel out the “moods” and how to react to them without causing to much friction .I have a wife and two daughter’s for the record so I am not just blowing smoke.It’s like Kenny Rogers say ” You gotta know when to hold em , know when to fold em , know when to walk away “.
