The Man Entry...

I have to vent about guys for a bit.

It seems to me that every man I meet as of late is in one of these groups:

1) Gay. (self-explanatory. And so often, perfect, if it weren't for that whole dating-other-guys thing.)

2) Stupid. (They're multiplying, I swear. I'm on myspace and I get random messages from guys telling me that they think I'm "cute," or "I like wat I see "

For example-- and this is a REAL message I've recieved.

"hi name is ***** i loved yea add i am from nj i attend college in ny i am 24 be 25 in july i am 5/7 brown eyes brown short hair weigh 185 i love cook sing dance write songs movies music is what i live for i love drink have fun so if you liek message me back here i give you number you call me or give me number to call you"

NO punctuation, NO grammar, NO BRAIN. It boggles my mind that an email like that could be sent out.

I have no patience for stupidity like that. Yes, typos happen...but that's why spellcheck was invented-- or at least a quick once-over to make sure that there's at least one or two punctuation marks within the entire mess.

I am a bitch. I don't deny it. I can't date a dumbass.

3) Annoying. (Telling me ad nauseum about their ex girlfriend or parental issues isn't the fastest way to interest me.)

4) Smarmy/Fake Charming. (These are the guys that make comments about how they like women built like me, when they are alone talking to me-- but when they're out in public they won't give me a second glance. I'd have more respect for those guys if they'd be honest.)

I recently was contacted by a guy I went to school with, and he went on and on about how I was his type when we were in school and how he thought about trying to get with me-- but he assumed I wouldn't be interested. I knew he was a flirt, but he would have had a decent chance. However, now... he tells me that I shouldn't be single because I have big boobs. Right. That's what I want-- a man that's solely interested in my tits. Granted, it helps, but I'd like a guy into more than that. He tells me that he thinks I'm attractive and all...and then tells me he has a girlfriend. Ew. Bad boyfriend. Red flag, anyone?

5) Whiny. (These are the guys that bitch and moan about how nice guys always finish last.)

This came up on myspace with my friends and we all got this idiotic bulletin to that effect-- how the "nice" guys are ignored and no one will sleep with them, and the author had a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood. I sent a bulletin back out, here's my response:


"I would like to extend a hand to the TRUE nice guys, the ones that understand that dating and relationships are worth the work. The ones that must be out there, intelligent enough to not spread that garbage.

To the "nice boys," and whomever wrote that spectacular tribute to oh-so-manly despair...how do you walk upright with no spine? Shouldn't you be more of a quivering pile of jello on the floor? Every woman has heard it, men whining about always being "the friend." Get over it. If you're interested, let her know. if she's a smart, worthwhile woman she'll tell you it won't happen, nicely. If she steps on you she wasn't worth it in the first place. Everyone faces rejection, it's usually not as bad as you think it is.

How come so many men (And yes, women, too) always expect more than they're willing to give? Thanks to the media, Hollywood and the fact that not enough men understand that Fantasy is very different from Reality-- it seems as though most of the men out there seem to have a sense of entitlement for a model-esque woman. Yet look at those men and they spend the majority of their time playing with their X-Box and avoiding responsibility (and reality.) They're the ones that eat nothing but crap food but have snotty comments about women that actually eat.

Oh my God, would you believe that women actually need to eat to survive? Can you still breathe after hearing that some women that are "fat" are happy? And to the ladies that don't get it-- don't limit your sense of "hot" guys to just those that wear the same damn button downs and enough hair gel to ski down. Don't date a man if you only want to change him. It's obnoxious and offensive to impose any preconcieved notion of perfection on anyone.

Here's one to all the girls that don't fawn all over the Gotti-bots in the bars, the women that see intelligence and dorkiness as attractive. Consequently, too often we're subjected to the attentions of the drunken morons that just want to get laid. Keep it up, look for those that are worthy for us, keep your standards and don't let the unworthy ones get you down.

However, "boys," the first step to alienating women is to have that sense that all women are bitches and won't talk to you anyway. That's ignorant and damn right I won't talk to you. Get over the sense of entitlement, and grow a spine."


Ok, I think I've vented enough for now. I know there are good ones out there, I'm not totally bonkers... but I just needed to let that steam out before it blew out of my ears ;D
