Let's suppose you're blonde.
Let's suppose that we are friends and drinking coffee in a cafe.
Scenario 1:
You: You know that girl there? Do you find her cute?
Me: Yeah, she's blonde, I am not attracted to blondes.
You most probably would be indifferent here.
Scenario 2:
You: You know that girl there? Do you find her cute?
Me: Eurgh! She's blonde, blondes disgust, they look like filth!
So for you Scenario 1 is the same as Scenario 2?
Just say YES or NO.
Yes for me it's the same and I'm unsure why you'd have to question when earlier you said you 'get it' that to me both are not finding a person with that trait dating material.
* Edited after your edit. The original
No Scenario 1 is not the same as Scenario 2 as in Scenario 1 you're attracted to blondes and in Scenario 2 you're not attracted to blondes.
I thought this was about not being attracted and your issue was your friend(s) not being attracted to a trait you share and expressing it in a way you dislike so I'm unsure why you're adding in them being attracted unless you want your friends to be attracted to a trait you share...

Girl, you didn't edit anything.
Let's start over.
You're blonde.
Scenario 1:
You: You know that girl there? Do you find her cute?
Me: No, she's blonde, I am not attracted to blondes.
You most probably would be indifferent here.
Scenario 2:
You: You know that girl there? Do you find her cute?
Me: Eurgh! She's blonde, blondes disgust, they look like filth!
Are they the same??

We had a thread called nice guy™ at the time stating some similarly ridiculous things as some sort of joke and he figured females deserved the a chance to laugh at themselves too(always in the name of humour)
If you need to complain to somebody I suggest you track down the original nice guy ™ thread and go to the source(it cited a source), this is just a parody of that
I don't have a need to complain and it's odd and telling how seemingly defensive you are from me pointing out Nice Girl™ isn't a fitting name.
Im not defensive.
Im merely explaining why this thread is here.
If you actually bother to ask anyone that has been around for long enough they ll be able to point you out that I disagree with plenty of the topics The_Face_of_Boo creates.
However as it is he merely mocks threads that were borderline offensive towards males and if the previous threads were ok his are.
Im one of the people that decides wether a thread/post stays or not so I try to explain things to whoever makes a complaint in a thread and look into them when its a valid complaint.

I did edit. Reread my entire post and look above the * as it's not the edit it's telling readers I edited my post after your edit and showing them the original statement.

Egh I don't find Nice Guy borderline offensive towards males as it's not talking about males in general but a specific group. My post wasn't a complaint about his thread it was pointing out that the name isn't fitting of the description so your responsive seemed defensive and this present response of you labeling threads being borderline offensive towards males supports my guess.

You said in scene 1 i am attracted to blonde in 2 i am not.
please reread my edited post as that was not what I intended.

The term nice guy is a perfectly acceptable term. Just as stuck up while we are at it( equality and all).
However both terms are overused and have developed an stigma around it.
This particular thread however was offensive not because it dealt with nice guys(we have had plenty of that and you are welcome to create your own thread on the topic right now) but because it said standard things most humans do make you a nice guy so he created a female version of this thread.
If you were unable to read the original thread you are unlikely to "get" this one because it was a reply to it and its like you are complaining J.K Rowling is overhyped because you tried to start reading harry potter by the 7th book and you couldnt understand most of what was going on due to the changes between the movies and the books

Can I get the link? Nice Guy™ Nice Girl™ bullcrap is getting on my nerves. Why label truly sincere people like this? Are we going to label men who protect women and children, who are chivalrous, who save women and children from being trafficked? I am not even going to say what I am, the ruffians of the interwebs will put stereotypes on it too.

I find the term nice guy offensive, as it has lost direct meaning. It doesn't mean nice guy to you, it means dorky, cowardly, scared little wimp, who is nice to people because they will treat them better if they do right?
I call horses**t again! Nice means nice. I am more than nice, yet I am courageous, gentleman like, have taken mma classes for a while, sparred with a boxing champ, hate it when women and children are used & abused, believe in marriage to feel more that I am right for my spouse than my spouse is right for me, dream of having children and teaching them right from wrong, and could care less about other peoples opinions of attractiveness, and want to be a great husband. All that, and a "nice guy" like me gets thrown aside by potential mates?
Sounds like serious horses**t!
same goes for Nice Girl, or what ever the hell that means, nice mean nice, not obnoxious insensitive prick! Girls shouldn't deal with this either!

Interesting I don't see being nice to get something sexual from someone and backlashing when they don't give it to you or blaming being too nice as a reason why one is lacking success as standard things most humans do. It's not standard things in my experiences as my guy pals don't do that or perhaps I'm fortunate to have guys who are nice because they want to be not to get something out of it from a gal and go on bitter, resentful, or misogynistic tirades when they don't.
I haven't said anything negative about the thread or the thread maker so how is like I'm complaining?

please reread my edited post as that was not what I intended.
in both scenrios I am not attracted to blondes.
Again reread my post, looking right above the * not below but above I edited it right after you did so it says what you intended. In fact when you quoted me it shows I stated what you intended that in both scenarios you weren't attracted to blondes.
Though in my opinion your scenarios are exaggerations attempting to ploy on emotions as eww/yuck as dating material for her /= generalization about a person's worth as a human being unless to you a gal finding guys with a particular trait unworthy dating material for her personally = her generalizing such guys as filth as if it's factual. If so as I said earlier different opinion as I don't find unworthy dating material for a person = unworthy value as a human being.
how can you generalize all women who have male friends?
should a woman not hang out with someone just because they're male and attracted to them?
are women only supposed to be friends with women?
You too didn't read the thread well (Main post).
You got everything wrong.
I didn't say all women who have male friends, I was talking about specific cases.
According to my main post, "Nice Girls" don't make friends with males they're attracted to, so see how completely wrong you got the post?
either way, you imply that it's bitchy or wrong for girls to be friends with guys they're not into. a "nice girl" can be only be friends with men they don't like...well, maybe these girls are smart enough to stay away from men they like who won't ever like them back?
the men they're friends with aren't being used as emotional tampons, it's their decision to stay friends with the girl.

I did a thread for this point.
