Are Men Appreciated? Ladies Your Thoughts.

Bliss knock it off the old bad boy mythos is based on being an aloof make you work foe it asshole. You personally may not got for it but you'd be dishonest if you didn't acknowledge a shit ton of women do.

you People should seriously open your eyes, before saying that.

And how the hell is that different from what bug did hmmm?

 

The first three are dead threads but I see your point. The last one is an objectification thread.

 

I don't victimize, I express distaste for the past and present situation of what happens to my race/gender. Do I have another side to me on here? Maybe, maybe not. If someone was actually concerned with knowing me as a person they would speak to me offline, which would actually paint a different picture. There are only two people on here who do that. This is the "internets" and it is more for entertainment or random controversial topics. It isn't the place to "open your heart and tell the world how you feel deep inside".

As far as kindness goes (in this forum anyway), kindness to me is the ability to disagree and argue in one thread and joke in another (or even in the same thread).

 

No I don't go for it, NOR do I appreciate them. The women who do, are MORE THAN welcome to them. The men I appreciate are NOT ASSHOLES, nor do they do asshole things to me or others and get away with it. I will never make EXCUSES for assholes either, nor fake that I appreciate every man.

 

What do you mean you people?

I Joke I joke... (waits for the negative reps to come in...)

Christine, I actually agree with some of the comments you have made in this post and previous posts. I have even called you beautiful for making a woman feel beautiful with your photography. I understand that my unwillingness to change certain opinions in this forum comes across as though I hate every female in this thread. But, the truth is that I don't. I ignore the people who can't take a joke, but expect me to accept their offensive comments, or people I deem irrelevant to my experience on here. I think you are a nice person who means well and is actually rather sweet. I don't agree with the 4th thread because it objectifies rather than compliments, but the other 3 are nice, and I do appreciate that. :freehug:

 

Quite frankly, most of us have a gender bias in this thread due to current conditions and past experiences. It happens and is to be expected.

 

Unlike you both, she does not inundate every unrelated topic/thread to voice how victimized women are. I also guarantee if Bug started a thread 'Are Women Appreciated?" you both would be on her like flies on poop.

Her basic point that perhaps you missed was, being appreciated is an individual people thing, not a gender thing. It's not biological, is not testosterone or estrogen based, it's PERSONALITY based and earned if someone appreciates YOU.

That IF you want to talk about GENDER-based appreciation, men earning more for the same work as a woman is a example of that. She hit the nail, frankly.

 

Really? Every unrelated topic? Hmmm that's news to me. I don't remember doing that in the thank you thread, or the nerdz lounge, I also don't remember doing it in the two fitness threads that I am in. I don't remember doing it in the religion threads either and I don't remember doing it in plenty of other threads. Hmmmm... every unrelated topic? Are you sure?

 

Quit being biased. She took the opportunity to talk about her own personal situation and like LAW and I both stated gender descrimmination seems unlikely. It you can get so many women to work for less why hire men at all since they do the same work for cheaper.
She didn't hit anything on the head she basically complained about a man she chose to be with not pulling his weight
That's not a societal thing that's a bug thing.

 

With you, yes. Plus, you haven't been around enough to know TDK's tendencies, and the time you have been on here, you have run off for six months for some perceived slight (you said it would be for a year, twice, in fact), Anywayzz, he asked 'Ladies your thoughts', and she gave it, but you felt it necessary to come in with links to insist there is a justified reason why U.S women earn less? Can you step back and see the big picture for a bit... This is a man's world and women live in it.

************

And now I see you added more to your post AFTER the fact, please don't act like your sparse commentary here and there is what you are about ON HERE.

The bulk of your comments here are to cry over men being victims, even in threads about women being beat.

Which is where this video TDK posted came from. YOU posted it in a woman being hit thread. Why exactly? (its rhetorical, I know why - see above).

 

Relax fam she's reaching she knows she's talking bs. The only time the be.der thing has come up as of late are in those threads with the slapping where the women started the "real men" bs and now want to play innocent. But whatevs

 

:smt005:smt005:smt005

I think so too. It's easy to take someone for granted when you've only ever "had it good". But, if you've been through some shit, and then met someone else... you definitely appreciate them better. I do anyways.

I also think that it depends on how appreciation is shown. A guy giving his woman flowers... is that an "I love you"? an "I appreciate you"? a "thank you?". Flowers, stuff like that, it seems easy to show appreciation to a woman.

On the other hand, how should a woman truly show appreciation for her man? By changing the oil in their car?
Women do often cook meals for their men, do laundry, take care of the house.... women hold it down. Couldn't that itself be a way of showing appreciation? in the sense that she could kind of go, "Babe, I appreciate you going to work and bringing that money home, I got you!"? (This isn't a dig at anyone... I OFFER to do laundry. I OFFER to cook. It's just something I actually want to do.) Hell, at least when I'm doing laundry for him and I now, he puts the clothes in my bag for me and gets it ready to go before I walk to the laundromat with it... and I always get a "thanks Nicole, I really appreciate it" when I give him back his clothes.

Legit question for you guys: With how many things (most) women do for their men daily, how else could women show their appreciation?

 

My gf does little thoughtful things like she buys me walnuts because she's worried about my blood pressure(I think she thinks 32 is older than it really is lol). She sends me thoughtful texts like "make sure you take care of yourself because remember I love you and need you" or she knows how hectic life is around finals and comes to my spot and does my grocery shopping and cleaning. Just being thoughtful helps a lot.

 

Gender discrimination seems unlikely? On what planet.

Your and LAW's argument 'then why hire men at all when women will work for less?' Um, if Bosses hired only women, we will demand to be paid for our worth, no differently than how men have demanded and gotten paid for theirs. Boss's were forced to give that pay respect to men that they demanded due to unionizing back when it was a male dominated workforce.

Now that Bosses are forced to HIRE women, they pay them less where they can, not to mention most jobs that tend to attract women tend to offer a lesser pay scale.

Not a societal thing?
Be honest, growing up in your family, who did most of the cooking, the chores and raising you aka: bathing/dressing and cleaning your bum and SNOT, TDK? Who does them now?

 

One, I do not post about gender in every unrelated thread, that is a gross exaggeration. Second, the thread about that woman getting slapped has plenty to do with gender. I add more to my posts because I have more to say, and I am sorry if I don't edit it in time before you read it first. In regards to leaving, I had a conversation that changed my mind. As far as posting the video, the topic changed to gender equality (show me how many threads that don't change topics) when it comes to physical altercations. My post was to that. So, basically, your complaint is that the topic changed to something that you rather it didn't. Understood.

 

That was not my argument. My argument was the lack of wage gap and where the wage gap actually came from. The post was about appreciation of men, she turned to the topic to wage gap and her life story. I find it interesting that you and others are willing to point out that I treat men differently than women in this forum. Because, quite frankly, you are doing it now. You are capable of understanding the point when the comment comes from a woman, but obviously not when it comes from a man. I mentioned before that we all have gender biases. Your biases are as transparent as mine.

 

I'm circumcised and my dick looks like a Snickers candy bar when erect. Even when it's not...it's like a fat bullet...which functions quite nicely.
