Yikes!!!!!!! The big sword would had been a big problem. I forgot to add a few more criteria to what I listed in terms of what I am looking for in the "right woman". The additional criteria are:
15. No swords
16. No tattoos
17. No body piercings.
Like I have mentioned, I will not have to worry about finding the right woman because the right woman does not exist for me. Yep. I will be happily single for the rest of my life. :) I have defeated fate. :)
First, sorry I have been in hiding. I have been busy with school and my role as a mother to my kids. So this article kinda hits home when I read it.
When I was a young girl, I was not taught the in's and out's of what was right and wrong in many situations pertaining to growing up. Figure that one out on your own, sorry. I had to discover what was the best thing for me and thank goodness I did before my kids needed the guidance that I so desperately needed and wish I had had.
Girls now-a-days believe that what they can do with their body is a tool and not a gift. So if they want to get somewhere in life, they use what they have to get where they are. This could mean in general life all the way up to the corporate ladder. You think sexual harassment is gone, forgive me while I sit down from laughing so hard! Here is the catch though, it doesn't really work like it used to. Females know, through examples of fellow employees before them, what they have to do or they will be stuck in the same position the whole time unless you are lucky and have an honorable boss that does not play such games.
Females in their effort to become equal have knocked us off the pedestal that we all once sat upon. I nearly pass out when a guy opens a door for me and then it is his turn to pass out because I say, "Thank you, Sir!" For a brief moment, we are both shocked and long for the days that it was a common thing to do. My son opens doors for me and others. It is imprinted in his mind. I think it is great! He has a deep respect for woman and it seems to really upset him when women do not have a similar respect for themselves.
I could go on and on about this subject. My daughter is very strong willed, both of them. My oldest is moreso than my younger. My oldest was mostly raised in her Dad and his mom. She isn't into the sex aspect of anything but she doesn't like anyone doing anything for her and will do nothing for herself. Figure that one out! She is 18. Then my youngest is just really all about taking care of herself. But will soften up if a guy is sincere about opening a door or some gesture like that.
Kids need to be reminded of the old gerder "rolls". Not to hold them in their place but to allow each side have a role in caring for the other. It does not make one side stronger or weaker than the other. It makes the two parts a stronger whole. To say so is saying you are a stronger person yourself.

I think the frustrating thing is that chivalry is casually discarded, looked upon with distain, or just outright ignored these days.
A perfect example of this is one evening years ago in college, in the dorms, I was walking to my room. A guy stopped me and said there's a drunk gal in his room that wants to to have sex with him. He said he didn't want to, and pushed me in the room saying get in there and take my place. I see the gal was passed out. I leave the room immediately, and stood by the door. I spent that night pushing guys away, and wouldn't let anyone in that room. The gal eventually woke up in the early morning and stumbled to her room.
I received no thanks for this, this act of kindness was not even noticed at all.
It would be nice if even the small things, like opening a door, gets noticed. Sometimes it does, I know, but most often not.
On the subject of chivilry and opening doors. I have always been one to open doors, hold elevators or what have you for people. I say on avg, about 8 in 10 men will say thanks, but only about 3 in 10 or less will say thanks. and of the women, most of the ones who show gratitude, most are 50+
Most of the time from the women Its a look of indifference basically. I get the impression that their thought process goes something along these line....
Shit, that guy is holding the door for me?
Why?
Whats in it for him?
I know, Hes trying to PICK ME UP!!
He must want in my pants!
I know, He's a WEIRDO!..Must be a PERV!!
I know, I'll just ignore him..That'l show him whose boss!
Don't get me wrong, I don't do things for the "appreciation" of others. I do things because that is how I was raised. Regardless of Gender. But I get the feeling that females think that us Guys all have ulterior motives for what we do, and that is all goes back to us wanting nothing more then to Mount them.
LADIES, SOMETIMES WE WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE NICE..THATS ALL..NOTHING MORE. ;D
Bang on post Shorty! Thank you, I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing this. I agree with your post 100%!
Well, you have now!! ;DQuote:

While I do agree with your first impression, I don't think it is the only factor I think a fair amount of it is also just rude dysfunctional feminism. They take manners and gestures of civility as an insult for some irrational, dysfunctional fukked in the head female reason. Just like they get bent out of shape when you call them ma'am.Quote:

Your first paragraph is spot on. You describe my experiences and observation to a tee. I wouldn't have worded it any differently. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l3...505/fing02.gif
I remember several years (or a couple of decades) back I was in Vegas, standing outside the front door of a hotel waiting for someone. Some poor guy made the mistake of opening the door for a young lady. She ignored him and griped to me (since I happened to be standing there). She said, "what does he think I am, a cripple?". I just said something like "He was just trying to be courteous", but I thought I should say, 'well, if he did think that, he was right. You are a social cripple!'. Of course, I was trying to be courteous...
I saw this
it reminded me of this thread...
Laurence Fishbourne's Daughter, Would be Porn Star?
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zLznuQOQgo...fishbourne.JPG
The Blackosphere is buzzing with the news that Montana Fishbourne, daughter of Laurence Fishbourne has decided to break into Hollywood by releasing a sex tape.
TMZ has learned Montana Fishburne is starring in a porno flick for Vivid Entertainment -- explaining, "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape."
Unlike the celeb she admires -- Montana who also goes by the name "Chippy D," is not arguing that her tape was stolen or obtained illegally.
I circled back and forth regarding this story. On one hand we need to respect Montana's agency. She is going into this with her eyes open and with strict career goals in mind.
