Women. Can they be seen as trophies?Page 2 of 2    (1, 2)
Pretty = conceited.......thats one of the biggest blanket statements I have ever heard. Personally, most of the conceited women I know are the plainer, dumpy ones who are nothing special but like to think they are. I know a couple of stunners and they are awesome, down to earth chicks who have the personality to match the looks.

I sometimes think that men think women are conceited purely because their attentions are unwanted......its not the same thing.


^^^^ Never have I wished that the forum were like Facebook more!! Like, Like, Like!!!!

And I think this is the reason you see so many womens profiles that mentions such things as (aside from "no penis photo's please") "If I don't reply to you, please don't take it personally, I'm just not interested"

translation - i'm choosy, i'd be embarrassed to be seem in public with you and just to show you how ignorant i am, i'm not even going to bother to reply to you.

common courtesy seems to be a thing of the past though i still open car doors for ladies. paint me old fashioned.

/me wonders what happened to the fairer sex.

Serious???.....maybe it means im sick of people not reading my profile before they write to me. Maybe it means im sick of saying thanks but no thanks and getting a gobful of abuse for my troubles. Maybe it means im sick of blokes old enough to be my dad hitting me up for a bit of younger ****. Maybe it means my profile says im not single so why ask me to show you my t1ts?
I don't consider that choosy or ignorant.

me wonders what happened to the fairer sex.

They are still round

all that work for about 10 seconds of relief

Ahh, now, here's your problem, ya gotta' work on your control mate, women enjoy sex too and I'm sorry to say 10 seconds just ain't gonna' cut it.

But honestly, I'm going to have to agree with Nick and Hilly, it's a ridiculous generalisation to say that good looks equates to being conceited. You may not be aware, but women on dating sites often get hundreds, yes hundreds of messages a week, many of them from illiterate morons who, like Hilly said, don't even read a womans profile, so of course their not going to reply to all of them

Speaking personally; I've met maybe 1o or 12 women from this site, all of them bar one were attractive and most of them weren't conceited, the exception was over weight and she was the only one who stood me up. So if I had to make a generalisation from my own experience I'd have to say...fat and ugly equals conceited.


"If I don't reply to you, please don't take it personally, I'm just not interested"


translation - i'm choosy, i'd be embarrassed to be seem in public with you and just to show you how ignorant i am, i'm not even going to bother to reply to you.


Wow! That's a lot to read into a simple statement, me thinks perhaps it's you who thinks he's not fit to be seen in public with an attractive woman...and what's wrong with being choosy?

In fact I think you're whole take on the subject harks back to the days when blokes on building sites used to whistle at women passing by...if they smiled back they were a slvt and if they gave them the finger they were frigid or conceited.

The average inbox screening goes something like this:

Scan down inbox pictures. Read message from guy that looks alright. Reply to those ones that also sound alright. Then delete everything. Like other forms of advertising you've probably got about 5 seconds to make an impression. Ever seen the Gruen Transfer??

Picture: yes/no. Words: yes/no. If yes/yes, reply. Select all. Delete.

'Thanks but no thanks' just aint in the algorithm. It's nothing personal.

Pretty = conceited.......thats one of the biggest blanket statements I have ever heard.

...one of those scritchy blankets that irritates the skin.

If a man really did come to the conclusion in life that all pretty women are conceited, then I think that's fair enough. He could then make a personal choice to not associate with conceited women, by avoiding any that happen to bear the mark of conceit...being pretty. He wouldn't date them, he wouldn't befriend them (cos who wants to be friends with a conceited person either). And thereby he creates his preferred scenario where all the women he befriends and dates, are those he considers ...not pretty. The women in his life must be so, so thrilled.

your referring to males with iq's matching shoe sizes? reminds me of a story i heard in the teen days, god invented man, was a good thing, man was lonely so god invented woman. they were lonely so god came up with a way to procreate with a warning to the male. 'as this is an afterthought, there's only enough blood in your body to use one head at a time....'

i believe the blocking function can be used? age restriction also works unless you do want the attention.


Maybe it means im sick of blokes old enough to be my dad hitting me up for a bit of younger ****.

actually just had one of those propositions from a 36yo woman. i didn't feel communicating with someone so 'young' and it felt like i walk talking to someone nearly young enough to be my daughter. typed her so. she liked the way i typed and blowed the 'love knows no age boundaries' whistle. so yes, i understand your predicament and foolish to tar everyone with the same brush.


Maybe it means my profile says im not single so why ask me to show you my t1ts?

profile says your in a relationship (also do my homework at times) refer to former shoe sizes.
[fairer sex]

They are still round

no doubt. always optimistic. reminds me of a little boy playing in a barn piled full of horse manure, having a ball of a time throwing all the manure around. when he was asked what he was doing, he said 'with all the shyt in here, there must be a pony in here to play with'.


Wow! That's a lot to read into a simple statement, me thinks perhaps it's you who thinks he's not fit to be seen in public with an attractive woman...and what's wrong with being choosy?


misconstrued. you have forgotten the original question asked? choosy? i'd like to get to know the person and that goes a little further than how well they perform in the bedroom (kitchen, laundry, knee trembler)...


In fact I think you're whole take on the subject harks back to the days when blokes on building sites used to whistle at women passing by...if they smiled back they were a slvt and if they gave them the finger they were frigid or conceited.

i have sacked people for that discrepancy.

It can and it is........one abusive email per person is all I can bear.....no round 2 here.

age restriction also works

It does but I don't see why I should have to block people of other ages from contacting me......doing so would stop friends I have made here in the forums from emailing me.

unless you do want the attention.

Ummmm....let me think about that one....no I don't......hence the no reply usually and back to the original claim of not replying being rude and conceited.
I think its neither.....I just think some people are oversensitive and have a very high opinion of themselves......why even bother to care if a random stranger replies to you or not? I have bigger things to worry about....like what colour to paint my toenails next

It isn't intended to be rude. To your face it is rude. Not online. It is part of modern digital culture that there is so much data flung around and so many messages (think facebook, twitter, SMS, email, pof, etc.) that to cope you only reply to what is most important. It saves your time, it prevents leading people on who may get the wrong idea, and it reduces exposure to shoe-size-iq-type comments.

As with most behaviour that seems rude at first, once you understand their situation you realise it is just normal people doing the best they can with limited resources. And yes, it even applies to the poor shoe size guys

Had fun in my youth of being a trophie and fair do.....I milked them for all they were worth and I could still say no..so even stevens all round methinks
