I despise people who try to tell me what i like. Who do these people think they are? me?

The next time someone (male or female) expresses obdurate incredulity at my personal aesthetic opinion,

If those curves were true, then why all my male colleagues/coworkers (age of 20s to 40s) have wives/fiancées/girlfriends?

Why I am the only one who's single?

Lemme just throw this bit of obviously sexist humour on the fire, just for your amusement ...

THE RULES

  • The FEMALE always makes THE RULES.
  • THE RULES are subject to change at any time without prior notification.
  • No MALE can possibly know all THE RULES.
  • If the FEMALE suspects the MALE knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some or all of THE RULES.
  • The FEMALE is never wrong.
  • If the FEMALE is wrong, it is due to a misunderstanding which was a direct result of something the MALE did or said wrong, the MALE must apologize immediately for causing said misunderstanding.
  • If there are two ways to for the FEMALE to interpret something the MALE said - a good way and a bad way - the FEMALE is obligated to interpret what the MALE said in a bad way.
  • If the FEMALE interprets something the MALE said in a bad way, the MALE must apologize immediately for saying something bad.
  • The FEMALE is under no obligation to ever accept any apology from the MALE.
  • The FEMALE may change her mind at any time.
  • The MALE must never change his mind without the express written consent of the FEMALE.
  • The FEMALE has every right to be angry or upset at any time, especially in the presence of the MALE.
  • The MALE must remain calm at all times unless the FEMALE wants him to be angry and/or upset.
  • The FEMALE must, under no circumstances, let the MALE know whether or not she wants him to be angry and/or upset.
  • The MALE is expected to mind read at all times.
  • The FEMALE is ready when she is ready.
  • The MALE must be ready at all times.
  • Any attempt to document THE RULES could result in bodily harm.
  • The MALE who doesn't abide by THE RULES would be better off living alone.

:lol:

In a sentence, because you live in Lebanon.

All my posts are written from a western European perspective, those curves only really become relevant when you throw culture along with traditional gender relations to the wind in a blinding fit of self-hatred. Just wikipedia'd the religious breakdown in your country - 34% Catholic 54% Muslim ( :o that's a recipe for trouble if ever there was one :P). While the underlying biology is the same in Lebanon, people are very susceptible to societal enforcement and as such the rules are very different (much easier formula to follow for the men to find girls, less choice for the women I imagine) due to religious/cultural pressures.

I can't really advise you unfortunately, while I'm sure you could learn a lot from game, you will still have to learn and play by the rules that exist in Lebanon :).

This isn't complete bull to me. I have observed many things about a lot of people (including women), and there is definitely a core set of behaviors in men that women are inherently attracted to (as well as looks). It might not be fact, but it holds a certain amount of truth in my reality.

It's easy to draw the "individual" card, but a lot of the time, these are exceptions IMO, I have yet to see a particular type of guy (sweet, nice, nervous, you get the picture) get any kind of attention from women whatsoever, unless they were well known in some capacity.

This is not a slur at women, just my observation.
