Hey, it's the collective male guilt trip!
I wonder (now don't get too angry) if we can use a two-category system for women, because it needs to be defined. Let's try it:
1. Every woman deserves respect and our love, in a platonic sense. Everybody has rights, men and woman. Woman can *gasp* even speak in church and not submit (kinda)!
2. If we find a woman attractive (
be it how differently men find women attractive than women do), men should be able to pursue woman and refer to them as attractive or not, especially within private company or where anonymity is possible (AKA the internet).
That sounds totally fair, right? People seem to think when I think that when I make statements like I do, that I'm viewing people as less of a person because they're not attractive or whatever. That isn't the case....I love and respect everyone
in a platonic sense. I'd think people would realize that without me having to deliberately brown-nose the opposite sex. I hate sucking-up, and it hardly ever works. You become a lackey, not your own person. My judgments on what is and isn't attractive seems to be a major turn-off to other women, but it's just that: a
personal opinion. You know how there's other fish in the sea? Yeah, I'm just a mackerel. The bluefins are down the street, on the right.
It seems we got off on a wrong foot, because people don't think the way I think, and therefore a lot gets "lost in translation". Very few people here actually get what I think and understand that I'm not a jerk, or someone to be pitied (well, idk about that....pitied for other things, though).
HUGE DIGRESSION (sorry!), but Shallow Hal is a good movie nonetheless.
The words "good" and "man" don't seem to fit into the same sentence anymore.
