BTW MissConstrue, there are
Puh-len-ty of posts and even a few threads putting men down in the Womens Discussion Forum. So dont go around acting like its only
guys who do it. Though I am NOT accusing you personally of doing it, not at all
.Some other NT women have agreed with me that women often take longer to figure out what it is they really want in a man and most young women really dont know for sure. I cant begin to tell you how many times Ive heard young women say: "
I dont know what I want! I only know how I feel!Trust me, I don't agree with any sort of generalized sex bashing- male or female. It's ridiculous, and makes me lose respect for the person who does it. Hypothetical quandries are one thing, but "All members of [insert gender here] want this and this only, I know because a member of said gender told me once in high school/college!" proclamations are quite another.
The thing is- this is called the "Love and dating" forum. Not the "Men's forum." We'd like to come here for problems too, you know? Whereas I can't imagine what most men are doing in the women's forum other than satisfying curiousity. (I understand that, I'm a terrible lurker myself) Difference is, if I run across a purely testosterone driven forum whining about bad luck with girls and, subsequently villanizing my gender, I don't jump in with "HEYYYY!! ! this boys' talk ends now, FPK is here- and you sir, have offended me and my own!"
BUT- I don't think of wrongplanet as being one of those purely testosterone driven forums. We are all dealing with some very serious, similar stuff here- regardless of gender. So... let's hold hands with our aspie brothers and sisters, and admit whether we've had a decade of experience at the ripe old age of 21
or nearly a lifetime of knowledge in love, we don't know everything there is to know about the mysteries of men/women.
(This wasn't even remotely directed all towards you D1nk0, I just used your post as a springboard.)
