GUYS ARE ASSHOLES!!!

[Doclector]

My response is: " I wish I lived in a world where not everyone was an asshole, get over it."

 

[Freechoice]

Doesn't bother me, course it'd be hypocritical otherwise since I am an asshole.

We should all sing the song


Viva La A**Hole!

OT - Seriously, why should we worry about a girl who doesn't have her own crap together? That's her problem not ours.

Damn you, Gindil! I was gonna link that!

And now I did by quotation proxy or whatever. Oh, the ironing!

 

[Legion]

Generally speaking I just ignore that kind of crap.

Although there was this one girl at college who was like that and she pissed me off. Not so much the comments like what you said, but the fact she'd say it every time a single guy (usually the same one) pissed her off and then would forget about it the next day.

If she genuinely believed all guys were assholes then I'd have learned to ignore it completely, but it was the inconsistency that drove me mad.

 

[Dogstile]

I nod and agree. I am an asshole. Well done dear, want a cookie? Medal? Cupcake?

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Legion, nice avatar. Without the escapist e, I have it on my laptop as the background.

Guys ask why women are insatiable backstabbing bitches, women ask why guys are penis-brained, overly aggressive jerks, we all know the drill. Neither of these is true, and it irritates me to no end when people whine about it. People on all sides are exaggerating and overgeneralizing.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Just tell the girl she's a B with a capital C and see if she figures out waht it means.

...BeCause?

nope.

 

[Jroo wuz heer]

Okay, girl here, and yes guys, I have sympathy for you. It is sexist and stupid for girls to say that, but I would like to say that girls that say that aren't just dating assholes.

My ex and I got along great, we loved talking, and we had lots in common. I know you probably won't believe because everyone thinks that girls are clingy, but I gave him his space. I never minded when he spent time with friends over me and even encouraged him to do so. He was a really nice guy and very sweet, even romantic.

And then he just stopped talking to me. He never said anything was wrong, never said he wanted to break up, that he had met someone else, that I had done anything to make him think twice about me...he just stopped talking to me. Never called, never emailed, nothing.

So I was extremely hurt. I thought that I had met a nice guy that I could possibly get serious with (our relationship was only a month or two old)...so my super sweet boyfriend...turned out to be an asshole.

And that was only one of my sweet boyfriends.

or maybe he would just feel bad breaking up with you officially.

 

[ShadowKatt]

as a giri i HATE when chicks say crap like this.
im sure most of you have the same issue i do.. every single time you log onto facebook, your feed is loaded with the girls on your friends list "men suck!" yadda yadda status updates.
that's bull.
in my experience, it seems the girls who are complaining that ALL guys are assholes, are assholes themselves.. yet somehow they fail to see it and therefore cannot understand why guys are "treating them like crap".
it's both sad and irritating.. i'm on your side here guys.

This. My youngest sister dated a guy, cheated on him with multiple guys, then said he was an asshole for breaking up with her. Then, when he dated her friend, who also cheated on him, she proceeded to remark that "at least she finally knows what an asshole he is". WTF? YOU BOTH CHEATED ON HIM!!!

It's the privilage of being a woman. A woman is never wrong. Have you ever heard the saying "If a man says something and there's no one to hear it, is he still wrong?" It's a joke, the answer is yes playing off the stereotype that women are always right and men are always wrong, but the stereotype is there for a reason. Even if it's two women, ask either one about any problems and 99% of the time it is always someone elses fault. The other woman, one of her friends, or just a problem with the situation(transportation, scheduling, etc).

 

[Doclector]

Snip or maybe he would just feel bad breaking up with you officially.

Or maybe he was a spineless coward like my ex (I'm male and it was a girl, BTW). In any given situation, the likeliness that someone was just being a scumbag is far higher than any other possibility. I know this from experience.

I'd like to disagree with that, but from what I've seen, it's generally true. Of course not all girls are like that/think like that, but enough are that it's sad, and a little disturbing.

 

[wolf92]

It is annoying, but you just have to deal
Clearly this women makes bad choices, seeing as all the guys she attracts are asses

 

[FinalHeart95]

Surely some other escapists have run into girls like this. The ones who will make statements like "I wish we lived in a world where all guys werent complete fuckfaces". Even if they aren't necessarily (stereotypically) feminist, this just totally drives me insane. I don't want to say it's sexist, because I almost think they don't mean literally "all guys" when it's said, but it certainly comes out that way. Like if I said "I wish all women would stop being such dumb bitches", I'd probably be assaulted for it.

How much does this annoy others, if it does?

Do women and yourself a favor, and don't go by teenage boys' definition of "Feminism." Feminism means only that you want equality of the sexes.
Linkara from TGWTG has proudly proclaimed that he's a feminist multiple times. Unless you're particularly sexist yourself, you should be a feminist.
I mean, using "Feminist" as a derogatory term is all fine and dandy within the internets, but in reality, it makes you look uneducated or childish.

That being said, I don't really get this thread. Its pretty much, "I don't like girls who sometimes make negative generalizations about guys. You all dislike them too, correct? Either tell me how much you dislike them, or feel indifferent."
I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would be interested in advocating for a group defined only by their brash insults. I generally find the OP offensive, seeing as its only purpose is to advocate hate towards a loosely-defined group, with their only defining factor being their sex. However, because of the way its worded, there's no rational counter-argument to the OP's point.

If you want to talk about dealing with apparent double standards, make a thread about double standards as a whole. If you want to make a thread about dealing with specific people, I suggest going to the advice forums and trying to explain the situation in as unbiased a manner as possible. I'm sure whatever pushed you to making this thread in the first place could inspire many excellent thread topics, but creating asking for people to reinforce your feelings is the wrong way to try to deal with your problems.

Hence the word "stereotypical". If I had just said "feminist", then I could see your argument.

Feel free to feel offended, but I don't really get that either. Hate? Hate is a strong word. Annoyance may be better suited. And to be honest, their defining factor is what seems to be a hatred of males, even if they usually don't. Males that do a similar thing to females suck as well. Simply not the topic of the thread. And seeing how my point was worded to express, you know, HOW I FEEL, I find the fact that you seem to imply I purposely worded it to avoid counter-argument insulting. In fact, I feel that there really is no good "counter-argument" I can think of, which I think in itself is actually a pretty good argument against the thread.

As for the last paragraph, you're pretty much right, actually. Although there's nothing specific that really "pushed" me to write this. Just many observations over a long period of time. I feel that there are threads similar to this written all the time, but since it happens to involve topics such as sexism and double standards, it's probably a little more heated than, say, someone who is looking to reinforce their opinion on The Dark Knight.

 

[Xcelsior]

Haters gonna hate...and double standards are a *****.

 

[carpathic]

according to my fiance and her family
im the only guy they know who is NOT an asshole

so this doesnt annoy me

Not sure if this actually says something about you...or them.

Surely they must have met others that aren't?


I think it says something about both of your really.

something good i hope, practically all her family and friends love me and think im good for her

i just am not an asshole. i never treat women poorly and love to see my fiance (fixed) smile.

They seem suspicious, or have had bad luck.

You, I have no doubt are a nice guy. Assholes are always seen, sometimes people don't like to call the spade a spade, but they appear to be unafraid to throw around the label.

Sorry, if my reply left room to be misinterpreted.

 

[WeOwnTheSky]

It drives me insane. If you're going to be mad at the male population because of the act of a single or few men, take it out on them. There are good guys out there, and they don't deserve the reputation.

And yes, if you called all women dumb bitches infront of me, I'd probably get really mad really fast. I'm not dumb or a *****, so don't lump me in with them.

 

[Seaf The Troll]

My exact words when a woman I know said that

"You just made a General Statement about Stereotyping all men, so If you think there all the same. it must me you that make them that way"

did not go down well but I laughed about it

wait? what does my boom box have to do with this? Sorry
OT: I don't surround myself with women that say thinks like that.

My Spell-checker.. DOH! lol well at least it spelt something,

Chicks dig assholes and nice guys always finish last. You get what you pay for.

Wait... we're talking about prostitution?

The kind of chicks that 'dig assholes' generally have self-esteem issues, and are not worth your time. If your PAYING for their time, wow.

Prostitution? Hardly, and besides they are all undercover cops these days. My meaning was that a lot of girls like jerks, and that is what they end up with.

I know, I know - failed attempt at humor. My meaning was that a lot of girls are 'girls', and once they mature they stop liking jerks. Unfortunately, that means heartache. But they don't call it growing pains for nothing.
