are there double standards in L&D?

It's certainly not said openly, but in real life is often obviously implied. I'd verbally smash them into the ground if they said that openly. That's what I appreciate most in friendship with men - they're honest, and they tell you what they want to tell you to your face. That means they don't have to contact my friends, who'd generally give me a heads-up, in order to insult me, and I can immediately respond and put them in their place if they go too far. It's much more straightforward.

Yeah all men are just so honest. No embezzlers, cheaters, or PUA's.

Apparently, pickup artists are succesful in what they do. Embezzling and cheating has very little to do with a general way of communicating.
Here's the deal - men are relatively straightforward, even if they're doing something bad. Women are often exceedingly vague and turn out to be doing something nasty.

Of course they can behave in a way I'd find acceptable. Some of them do - but they're either members of my family who have known me for all of my life, or women whose job description includes appearing friendly. From what I've seen, I've developed a distaste for what seems to be universal behaviour. Even though I know little women in-depth, they're extremely over-represented in that compared to men I know. If they would, so callously, betray and hurt someone else, then they'd have no problem doing that to me. Now, I'm not immediately hostile - I try to be friendly, and on rare occasions, they're friendly. But nothing beyond that.

The main issue I have here is the two-faced nature I've encountered too often. When they're talking to someone, conversation is full of compliments and had a friendly tone. However, as I noticed between classes a while ago, they'll equally ridicule and insult those same people they've been friendly to only five minutes later.



I've yet to see any opinion that should be taken as objective. Of course my perspective is skewed, as women hate me before I meet them. As in, act aggressively even if I don't know them and have no intention of speaking to them at all. Sometimes, they try to command me, or act faux-friendly.

You can still employ PUA and be honest, not that PUA is any good, though. People say that it works because of the placebo effect; they get themselves out there and don't realize that cute and quiet Jane has liked them all along.

Women are just as likely as men to cheat. Men are bigger risk takers than women and thus, most people guilty of embezzlement are men.
