You know guys, there's nothing that says that guys can't issue a rebuttal too.

I'm not entirely sure what goathouse is saying. Perhaps vague isn't the right word, but maybe an example would help. I don't want to pile on goathouse, because it sounds like he's having girl problems, but if your girlfriend only works hard on babies and nagging, you probably need a new girlfriend(or maybe no girlfriend for a little while). Hell, I wish my girlfriend would work harder on... um... baby-related activities.

As for my own take, there are some traits that women are more likely to have that I don't like(especially in how they deal with each other), but there are also traits that guys are more likely to have that I probably like even less.

And what about the unwillingness of men to reexamine some of their obnoxious male traits? As if women have stubbornness cornered! You guys can drive us crazy too, you know.

I think you're judging too harshly based solely on some personal experiences. Don't let it turn you off women as a whole. You say you're not "anti-female" but your generalizing statements are rather contradictory to that. If there's a woman in your life who truly deserves blame for something, blame her not the gender. But what about women being successful undermines men in "their goals, ambitions, and day-to-day life"? Sure, there are some scheming, manipulative women, but there are plenty of men like that too!

I think if you start to appreciate and focus on the good traits of the women you meet, rather than dwell on the negatives, you might start to have a better perspective. We all have plenty of faults to go around and every relationship takes a ton of patience and understanding on both sides. One gender doesn't necessarily commit more offenses than the other.

Not that one message on a discussion board will convince you or anyone, but give it time and maybe you won't feel as bitter as you seem to feel now.

Well, I'm just as misogynistic as the next guy...

haha

Anybody can be misogynistic, but it takes balls to say:

That is something I don't get either. I've never had a female friend who can keep a same-sex friendship longer than a year or so; I'm talking about best friends who stop talking to each other due to a minor argument. Not sure why this is the case. I may be wrong, but I don't think this happens to men as often.

What was this topic about?
