Well, if your vocabulary is as pretty as your paintings I'm looking forward to that!
hi j. thank you! long day, and the compliment is appreciated. but you see, there's the rub. i say what i 'need/want' to say with pictures. and can't paint them fast enough to put them on here. lol. so i'm armed with my book of etomology now...just have to learn to spell. but i'll be catching up soon. i think i'll start with a thread on the misconceptions of lemmings. ( i've seen them get a bad rap on cs a couple times now...grin)

Bodecia: I see many threads and posts regarding the traits in men that women dislike, avoid in dating/relating and make them shy to commit again to another man.
I would like to hear from the men, as to what really ticks you off about wimmin, what common traits you have all discovered on your weary dating road, past experiences that have made you gun-shy. What do you really dislike in a woman?
Do you think guys, that wimmin from certain countries are more likely to display certain traits? Do you think that the culture they have grown up in moulds their undesirable characteristics as well as their attributes?
Or do you think they are the same the world over??
Please be truthful, do not be afraid of knives in back, or strychnine in your morning coffee, for I will protect you!
Hormones.
If it's any comfort for the boys we get pissy with each other too when the hormones go nuts on us.
daisy333: Great thread Bodecia and a fair call too - there's always been plenty of male bashing threads here, so it's overdue.
There are some women who to be honest, make me ashamed to be female. The manipulative ones who bat their eyelashes and pretend to be victims annoy me. Women who endlessly talk about shoes and handbags also annoy me. I can often understand why men make fun of women - some women are incredibly vapid and small-minded.
Women who marry for money top the annoyance list for me. They'll sit at parties and sneer at people who don't have money, when in fact, they did nothing to earn the lifestyle they enjoy. To me, there couldn't be a more shameful way to live than sponge off of someone else intentionally.
Hi daisy, and thank you!
Yes, totally agree with your post, in particular the manipulative side. I know of women who will lie, cheat, walk all over a man's feelings purely to get what she wants, and then cry "victim" when he wises up.
"Vapid" is a great word. I cannot think of anything more boring than going for lunch and discussing the latest fashion in purses, personally.
Each to their own, I guess, but some vacuous wimmin surely do give the rest of us a bad name.
Thank you for posting and nice to meet you, daisy.
I get angry at women who try to ruin a man financially in a divorce settlement. It should be a fair settlement, not one that brings a man to his knees.
I get angry at women who use children as a means to increase their child support payments. She won't let him visit their children unless he pays her more. That really gets my anger up.

Hi my friend, and Wow, yes I totally agree.
In my opinion, the courts here are waaay more biased against the man than they were in other countries I have lived in.
I know it varies from State to State, but I know of a case in Georgia where the man, who was attempting to gain custody of his children from his drug-abusing wife that the Judge told him...

"Any mother is better than no mother at all"...
That, for me is absolutely disgraceful.
Hey BO...If you think all the way back to the movie Kramer vs. Kramer, Dustin Hoffman had trouble getting custody of the child. What's happening now is not a new thing. Men are discriminated against when it comes to getting custody of children and that is disgraceful. In the case you cited that's irresponsible of the judge to let a child go with a druggy mother.

Exactly.
Wimmin who call the Victim Card, get greedy and unreasonable and let personal issues with the father cloud their judgement in divorce cases are the lowest of the low, as far as Im concerned, and give the rest of us a bad name.
A fair, equal divide is the only way, and unfortunately even when this happens any child support sent by the father is not guaranteed to be used in the correct manner by the mother.

Hi 54.
I would say that the Ego side of things is more a male issue, actually. But the rest of your post, I would sadly agree with regarding wimmin.
I think wimmin are less generally sure of themselves, feel they need to prove themselves more and therefore can be guilty of what you say, yes. Not in all cases of course, but in many.

well I was a FT homemaker for 17 years and I am sure that my ex has NOTHING good to say about me (his only redeeming quality being that he usually keeps it to himself)
but fact is I had a 24/day schedule especially when my kids were small and having had 4 children, someone was always a baby...I had 1 year ONE in 17 where I went through kind of a mid life crisis and was admittedly difficult to deal with - otherwise I busted my but, cooked, kept a clean house, raised my kids right, kept several large gardens, babysat for extra $$$ - was a Scout Leader, Soccer Coach, Homeroom mother & Sunday School Teacher
but he took that 1 difficult year and made it sound like that is what I was always like....which has convinced me that he never did love me in the first place...he stood on a pretty flimsy excuse to criticize me to my family & friends...
and yes I love to talk about shoes and hair, clothes and make up because for years I never had any of those things as most of our $$$, if not all, went to his hobbies first, then the kids

so ya I guess all of this makes me vapid....
I wouldnt say you were "vapid" at all, felix. You have a brain, use it and show it.
Its the airy-fairy, Nothing In Their Heads But The Latest Designer Gear Types that I believe is meant in this regard.
The dual life thing, meaning telling me what they want me to believe and then living something else has been quite destructive for any of my hopes, basic dishonesty. I have been ruined twice now emotionally and financially taken to zero and below. Maybe it is wrong of me, but my defense system is being busy. I bought an old warehouse to live in and building a house out of it, my work takes me away from home weekly. I wish I didn't have to have a defense because I love women, but today one must go very slow and cautious. Like I said with my defenses set up she would have to just start sweeping floors here and handing me tools, then when the truck starts get in the passenger seat and hang on. Like pop used to say "It may not be right but its so"

You bought a old warehouse and built a home out of it.Sounds pretty neat to me.

Well thank you CC, it is a work in progress. Part of it is a workshop and part is the house. If someone shows up here I know they are here to actually see me. Thanks again

I guess what I do not understand is why you spend the money, and then complain if you don't get your way - not just you personally, as I don't mean this personally about you as I really know nothing about the details of your situation. But I do hear men, more than women, complain about spending money on a partner, then feeling used if they don't get their own way
we are not for sale with a guarantee sticker yanno
I'd say don't give a gift with an expectation of anything in return. Then when you do receive in return it will be that much sweeter

You can never be too cautious. I was also ruined financially by someone I never thought would do it, but he did. Now I'm at the point, if someone gets a birthday card from me he should think of it as the best gift he will ever get from me.
After she sweeps the floors make her wax them too on her hands and knees....

Good morning to you.
good morning <---- ummm. no. too much of that last night - let;s try ----->
I guess I understand you - spoiled types who've never had a worry in the world who criticize the rest of us....I have met men like that too frustrating at times
but I have to admit, I think part of what I am saying here is that I AM that kinda girl - shoes, dresses, & giggles. But because of my responsibilities and lifestyle I was not able to be that person who I am
