Gals with too much makeup on

Would've thought it'd be funnier to imply that he has a double-standard - expects more from a woman than he'd apparently provide.

I'm kind of the same way. Breasts and butts might catch my eye, but when it comes to actually going out of my way to do something, nice always works much better than pretty. That's not to say it isn't as exploitable - acting nice is much easier than looking pretty. Then again, it's not quite THAT easy, seen as how many women seem to not quite grasp the concept.

Far as I'm concerned, nice and decent trumps boobs every time.

Yes, dear.

I expect to be treated with a modicum of respect if I were talking or going out with a woman. But I also treat the people I'm communicating with with respect. Unless they show me otherwise.

Hmm...I hate using the same word twice right next to itself.

But you are right, I probably do have some double standards. Just like everyone else.

Exactly. Now, when you pair the nice and decent with the boobs (and the legs and all the rest)...

To the anonymous eejit who said "whining about negative rep is petty":

I suggest you learn the difference between "whining" and "responding." Oh, and look up "petty" while you're at it. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

If you still need an explanation: Someone says something risible in a neg rep, doesn't sign it. If I want to respond to it (and in this case I did, because the neg rep was epically stupid and clearly was knee-jerking), I can only reply to the thread (and probably the comment) where I got the negative rep. I can't PM the person, nor can I reply to a post in this thread.

If you don't want someone to parade your anonymous stupidity around in public, don't apply it in the first place.

I don't know if you have that particular double-standard, but I think it would've been funny to imply it.

But, really, just because people have double-standards doesn't mean they're okay.

Or sign your comment so any retribution can be kept private

Brilliant!

Yeah, that too.

I LOLed.

Not possible, it is all about the "ego."

There are only so many hours in a day to contribute to the various pits of human depravity on the internet! I am not a machine! I have a headache, Raz.

The problem is, that expectations are subjective. One person my be fine with watching TV with their Significant Other, while the Other expects something more while watching TV. So, it can be difficult, especially before you really get to know someone, to match expectations with what you'd provide.

For the record, I don't expect a kiss on the first date.
I agree. Which is why I attempt to keep mine in check. The one I have the most problems with, that I know of, is when I'm driving. I want slower drivers to get out of my way. However, I do seem to drive at the edge of the speed laws. So, not getting out of someone else's way might actually save them from getting a ticket. Yes, I know. Rationalizations aren't always good either.

Would that it were. The men wear very much full outfits and the women wear those gaudy togas that are inexplicably hard to get. Now, if we could get the outfits of the Sybils in the ITF to use, that might make me feel different, only so much as even seeing them requires doing the TF. Sister I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Ghost-Widow is a good example outside of that, of course.

True that.

Haha. Yeah, all good points.

Well let's fix that, shall we? I'm a man and I'd totally let Clamor teach me new things. Because she's a woman, and I'm a man, and me being a heterosexual man, I like women, especially freaky chicks like Clamor.

Just doing my bit to get this thread back on track. No need to thank me.

Also: Rack

You're going to do the washing up? That's a good start.

That palce where those well-oiled buff guys in leather manskirts hang out with each other?

I've thought about responding in a similar manner, but it occurs to me that private anonymous stupidity is harmless, including to me. Responding to it requires that I first broadcast it, and I'm much more comfortable relegating their anonymous stupidity to irrelevance.

The ultimate fate I want for all stupidity is irrelevance, and by posting both privately and anonymously, they've already made themselves more irrelevant than I can otherwise achieve.

Of course, I reserve the right to make fun of truly epic stupidity, but I haven't been graced by that sort of reverse-genius yet.

While I agree with you for the most part, I do like to post random, confusing stupidity from my comments either when I plain old don't get it and hope other people can explain it (which hasn't worked so far) or when I think people can get at least cheap laugh out of it (with mixed results). Either way, people's anonymity does not mean their correspondence won't be aired for all to see should I feel like it.
