ENOUGH already with these whiney "Why are men/women so mean?" threads!!
What a load of self-pitying crap!!! We've all been there; we've all been dumped; we've all survived. Grow up, already!! Ever consider that maybe it's your sh*tty attitude that's driving people away?
Who the h*ll wants to hang around for b*tch-a-palooza while someone bangs on and on about how their ex did them wrong.

(I really hope admin will consider limiting or eliminating these sorts of threads.)

Oh yeah. Have a nice day!

Probably because women are mean and crazy too... I just spent the most wonderful 3 weeks of my life talking to a woman on the phone and email ect... she was supposed to come to my house for a romantic weekend.. we talked of retirement, and vacations, and babies, and marriage.... It was a one in a million shot...

But then the jealousy thing kicked in and she went nuts just a few hours ago... and threw it all out the window.... I was totally in love with her.. and would have done anything in the world to make her happy... and she gave it all up because I remined her of a man who lied to her, cheated on her, and had really bad teeth... But I don't lie, I don't cheat, and I have perfect teeth.... But women don't believe any of that crap.. so they treat the guys who are honest and nice like shit..... That is probably why men are so mean... just like women are..

I have to agree with robinegg. I have met a man online, we chatted "as friends' for two weeks, exchanged phone numbers, "then fell in love", and it was absolutely wonderful!!! For two months, we talked everynite and the chemistry was right on. Next thing I know, he is not sure he wants a relationship with me...blah blah. Wow, talk about two months too late!!! I wasn't looking for a relationship and I especially was just looking for "fun" and "friendship", so why the mind games, really???? Be upfront, and be real, don't be a player to get ****. That's what I say...

I know not all men are like this, and yes I have noticed this site is focused alot on "sex", but what site isn't? I have posted for friendships and have to say, that is as far as it goes for me, it will be a long time before I will trust anyone online further than a "fun" date or friendship.

I learned a hard lesson and hope that both sexes learn to respect eachother and go from there.

when it comes to dating, I gave up before I even started.

Face being mean, or hating, or being selfish, or what ever, it has nothing to do with gender, or race, or religion or what ever! Its human nature, we are all human, get used to it.

The flip side, there are tons of people in awesome relationships, its not impossible, you just have to wait your turn, so take your experiences, learn from them, quit whining.

I should copyright whining, i would be a millionaire, imagine if i got a nickel everytime someone whined! Nah I am so sarcastic I would have to pay more nickels then I could ever receive!

Guys, Gals keep the faith, somethings in life suck, but we are all blessed!

We men are not all the same sorry to say. As for me I try to get to know someone and talk before I meet them. I don't want to jump right in the sack for a roll. I want a good relationship with potential for something other than sex. Sorry but I feel like we are all being sterotyped and we are all not like that just as all women are not the same.

Why are women so mean? Can none get past my looks, height and lack of hair? Am I that hopeless that every woman I meet just has to be shallow?

Hi there,

Men are mean because we allow them to be. If a man says something to us that upsets us then it is our responsibility to let them know that they have upset us. That's not to say that we need to be mean or ****y, it just means we need to be very open to communicate our thoughts and feelings. If we let a man (or woman) know how we will be treated then there is no guessing...if we allow them to treat us in a way we don't like (but don't say anything) how are they to know? Make sense?

As far as all men wanting sex is normal, so is the fact that woman want sex all the time...we are sexual beings. However, that's not to say we have to have sex all the time. Regardless, communication is the key to any type of relationship.

Good luck in your search!

If anyone's intentions are not true, it's very wrong to use people.
if both intend for sex that's different, but all to often men will put on a happy face just to go along for the ride!
It seems alot of men do not want "commitment",they want to go "fishing"!

Truly after reading this post, it's sad that we can't get our "act" together,
men love sex, women love sex, what is the problem, women want commitment
men turn on quick and burn out quickly a women is like an iron she heats up slower but she stays hot longer, and a woman once she gets aroused with a man wants "more".
but she doesn't want to be a slut, jumping from partner to partner. Women value more intimate committed relationships. Many men want committment too but we live in such a media focused society where "looks" become the end all, i've met attractive people, i found unattractive in short order and those considered unattractive to be very compelling, it's call sex appeal.

I think alot of men by choice or not have been influenzed by the pornography around them, we live in a very "sexy" world, hell you should look sexy checking the mail box, or taking the garbage out....at least on tv they do. And pornography is about "&%$$##ing" people, hence maybe the reason for the increased callousness and superficiality.
i think overall we've all lost a lot of trust and confidence in one another, to me your body is the most intimate part you can give of yourself and if you have self respect, you will wait till someone is going to respect you back for "all" you have to offer.......dogs f$%$$, people should make "love"! And it is true if your a woman if you've got one of "these" you can always get one of "those".

a marriage counselor i once met at a convention said what's the difference between having sex with a 1000 women or having sex with the same woman a 1000 times?

it gets better! anything gets better with practice......but there's a lot of other things that are important in life also, you have to get out of bed and communicate at some point and then what.....these players will find themselves eventually washed up........old, wrinkly making a jerk of themselves trying to pick up young chicks who will laugh at them, there's a least one in every bar!
(chase after your youth and it will run mockingly away from you!) for some people and not just men it's time to grow up and respect others.

one thing i value about my life is having diverse interest other then "just men", although it would be great to meet a solid one......i ain't hanging by my fingernails.

and as for this post.....leaving a jerk can be financially stressful when there are children involved and it's not something done spontaneously, you need to have a plan,,,,,,and a plan B.......there's my 2cents, keep the change....lol

Follow the advice the previous people have given you. Just wait and find the one who won't mind waiting for you and wants you just for your company. Even if you like the guy wait! Find out if they are worthy of your time. I've waited in my past relationships usually to where I know it's right before making love. But that's me. I kinda follow my heart, I don't think I'll ever have a one night stand. Just don't give up you'll find someone.

I'm sorry about your experience...
Only thing I can say about that is if he is giving he is in it for love....the nature of love is giving. Guy who has "me, myself and I" in everything he says, can't be looking for anything but his own pleasure...

Jazz, if you're falling in love with a man you haven't even met, maybe you should ask yourself if you're looking for someone to save you from this marriage. Trust me, no one is going to save you. You need to be strong for yourself and your kids and start over. Scary at first, but well worth it. Don't look to strangers to have your best interests at heart. Good luck.

Verynicelady, I know many nice men in their 70's who would appreciate a good women such as yourself. It's hard for anyone, any age to meet someone. Maybe harder as we age, but not impossible. Good luck to you too.

Don't expect so much and then you won't be so dissapointed. Communication is key. Tell him beforehand what you want and if you feel that he is not on the same page, then don't bother on seeing him. I think that if you expect so much out of a date, you will be set up for a big dissapointment. Go with the flow, take your time, and date as many men outside off here too.

men cheat more than women, i think women cheat just as much as men


I just couldn't not comment. If more men are cheating than women would it then indicate that men are cheating with other men? If not wouldn't it be about even up? Man cheats. Needs partner to cheat with. Cheats with woman. Yes 1 + 1 = 2. That's what I thought.

Oh but I guess one woman could be running around cheating with about 10 men at once. That would lessen the cheaters on the women's side.

Men aren't mean! No more than we are mean. Everyone can and is mean under the right circumstances.

And how can you 'fall in love' with someone so quickly? I've never figured that one out. A guy friend (yeah, one of those mean **stards) favorite sayings when he saw some new hottie was, "Am I in love of is it just lust?" Lust, lovelorn, lonely, whatever 'L' you want to use. Don't think I'd pick Love.

i might be repeating something someone else has said..but i just couldn't stomach reading all of it. sorry dont mean to be rude, however this is crazy. first off we only hear your side of this 1 month relationship, if we can call it that, considering you have never even met the guy. secondly, hello... your married. this guy could just assume you were only looking for sex, and rightly so, and why should he show you any respect if you are no better than the cheating husband you claim you have.
i am sorry but i must say you have no right to point the fingers at this guy, let alone all guys.
you need to fix your life before you can be in anyone elses.
i guess my statements make all ladies mean too....sorry ladies..i will take one for the team.

men do not think as we women do. they are one sided usually ......goal is a point of cumming no punn intended! satisfaction is the goal! we are looking for compassion with emotion. i have learned over the years to just take what they say at half face value. they (men) are more visual than most women(excluding myself). they (men) on the whole are less emotional than we are. and as far as the internet well get real! this is just one sex site for the night! a real love just does not just happen!!!! most guys are out for fun! like a new toy! and if it happens to be one they cannot do without..well then they call it love! todays world is different. it is all just a game.....a game of wits....and if you actually end up with someone...well i would put a spy cam on the computor....they just might still be looking for a newbie! it is all in the thrill...the game....the excitement. sorry but afte being married for 30 years and then widowed...and then becoming a part of the dating world...well it is different!!! i have met a few really nice guys but i would not ever marry them!!! most true loves will not be met on the net!!!! it is just for fun or heartbreak however you attach yourself to it......it is just not real!!!!!!!! kuchies
