12 Texts Girls Send When They’re Trying To Friend Zone You

I think it's totally the opposite, based on my observation.

Women are usually even more vocal about it in real life.

Men are only vocal about in on the internet, but never in real life.

Of course most women don't need to care all that much—their main concern is to keep unworthy suitors away.

Women don't form pseudo-paramilitary movements against the opposite sex because they've failed at relationships. And they certainly don't start boycotting men. They focus on their careers, watch Lifetime movies, talk to their cat and go out with their girlfriends, and keep looking. They might complain that there are no good men but they don't have anywhere near the amount of rage or resentment that men who struggle with relationships do. Women don't have nearly as much testosterone as men so they do not struggle with the same level of libido, they do not translate negative emotions to rage as readily, do not polarize into "us vs. them" as often, and do not "take up arms" and go on the offensive as much.

Many a heated argument on this site suggests otherwise. The rage is always redder on the other side of the fence … or something

Spiderpig, there used to be a Men's Forum on this site, much like there is a Women's Forum, but they had to get rid of the men's forum because it became a bastion of hate, misogyny and resentment towards women. On the Women's Forum they talk about finding clothing that don't itch, and how deal with periods.

Anyway, my above post is not an attempt to demonize men. Men are not bad or wrong in any way for feeling the emotions they do or acting the way they do. Rather, I am trying to say that men have unique emotional needs, and society should stop ignoring that fact. When we deny that men suffer more emotionally when they fail to obtain a companion mate, we are actually buying into the sexist denial of a man's right, not just to emotions, but male specific emotions, because society says a man who has emotions is weak, and god forbid he has emotions stronger than that of a woman, then society says he is really weak.

But that shouldn't be the case. Men should be entitled to have their emotional needs as men recognized instead of minimized or discounted. We should stop pretending men do not emotional needs that differ in some ways from that of a woman.

I'm not saying that we should force women into relationships with men who struggle socially, but we should recognize that men suffer a lot more when they can't find a mate, and maybe we should start teaching dating and relationship etiquette in schools so forging and maintaining relationships aren't such open ended affairs.

^ Were you ever been in the Men's forum? Or you just repeat rumors?

It was closed due to porn and penis size content from what I recall Alex said.

What men's forum?

I was the occasional lurker here since 2011 and never came across a full-blown men's forum...

Boo, you've been here since 2010 so that's really not that much longer...

It seems we've been told different things. But if your information is from Alex directly then I will accept it as the correct reason.
