When I screw up, go ahead and tell me ... ONCE. More than that is called "nagging".
If you screw up once, I tell you once. If you keep making the same mistake, I'll keep telling you about it. If you don't like hearing about it, then learn from your mistakes. If I didn't say anything, that would fall into your "hard to get" and "not telling me" category of complaint. So you want me to say something, but you're not willing to go so far as letting what I say have an effect?

Each cat is an individual, just like every dog and every horse. While behavioral traits may be shared between different members of the same species, the same can be said for every species, including humans, but I presume you wouldn't say every human is just like every other human.

Don't be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.
Leave the eyebrows alone. Plucked ain't pretty.
Whether or not a woman wears makeup is for her to decide. We don't run our lives based on what you find sexy. We are not here for your entertainment. Women dress and apply cosmetics for their own satisfaction, not for you, and you can stop telling women to behave and groom themselves for your personal preferences. I don't give a damn what you find sexy. I'm not here for you. I'm a person in my own right independent of your desires. The same applies to what hair we pluck and what hair we leave in place. It's for us, not for you, so back off.

I just may lie to make you feel good. Don't be angry about this. You really weren't looking for the truth anyway.
You bet your ass I want you to tell the truth. If you lie for my feelings you cannot be trusted, and I don't waste my time on somebody who can't be trusted.

When you get angry over some stupid little pointless thing, I question your intelligence ... and sometimes even your sanity.
To your eyes it is 'stupid and pointless.' Try listening and trying to understand rather than dismissing somebody's response as stupid and crazy. Dismissing somebody as stupid and crazy is one of the most disrespectful things you can do. To you it may be pointless, but not everything is about you.

A random unexpected grope from you is always welcome, even in public. Especially in public.
A random, unexpected grope from you is unwelcome and makes me uncomfortable.
Quote:
"I'm sorry" means "I'm sorry"; it does NOT mean, "Guilty on all counts, your honor", especially when we don't even know what we're saying "I'm sorry" for.
For an apology to mean anything, you must know what you did, regret what you did, and seek to change the behavior. If you don't know what you're saying sorry for, the apology is meaningless.

Do not expect to have a conversation via the Internet message unless you use the words "lonely", "naked" and "waiting".
Don't expect to have any encounter with a man over the internet that is not sexual? You mean you can only ever see women as sex objects and never as people worthy of basic, human interaction? Think about that.
