She is superman, I am kryptonite

That's pretty much about how conversations go. I've gotten the "you'll get women" thing. I've gotten the "be yourself" thing. I've taken women's advice- worst mistake of all to make, BTW. I've even gotten the "ask them about themselves thing." But I asked one woman about how tall she was (she appeared tall in her pics) and she unfriended me on facebook, and asked another woman about her less-than-common name (Chob) and she acted like that was about the last conversation she wanted to get into- I mean looking away, not really responding, walking away, the whole nine yards.

I've inspired a lot of feelings in women, but love ain't one of them. It's all BS, there isn't someone on Earth for everybody, and falling down to Earth from the hero narrative (we're all the heroes of our own lives) was especially hard on me. I went through a nervous breakdown at age 22 from a number of things including a realization of my pure and ultimate failure with women. I've matured since then and pulled my head out of my ass and somehow gotten okay with the lot in life I seem to have been dealt. I had a girlfriend at age 26 (I'm 27 now) and that, I guess, was just to prove I could get one? Beats me. But I'd be alright if I never got one again.

But yeah, love and dating aren't real concepts to me. Anyone else have trouble with the opposite sex?

You mean she's "Supergirl"? That character shares Superman's powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. duh

Yeah, that's about right except she's not really supergirl. She's really more of one of the run-of-the-mill sh***y girls I run into every now and then. I never read about or had an interest in supergirl growing up since she was just a knock-off. But hey, why not dig through the knock-off bin. I'm sure there's Extra-man and Over-man in countries with lax copyright laws. Bizarro-Superman.

Supergirl was actually featured prominently in a fairly recent DC animated movie from 2010 called: "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse".

Why is it that most of the female superheroes are so lame? They are either just female versions of male superheroes (such as Supergirl and Batwoman) or they just are uninteresting (such as Hawk Girl). In fact, it seems that women with powers are at their best as villains rather than heroes (Catwoman, Poison Ivy, etc.).

Yeah the 1984 "Supergirl" movie with live-actors is supposed to be pretty bad. It supposedly makes even the worst Superman movies look great in comparison. However, I've never actually seen the entire movie all the way through, so I'd be curious too.

Maybe your eyes tried to commit suicide, so you had to stop watching.

Wrong, enter.......
Aleda Lutz: Flight Nurse



1st Lt. Aleda E. Lutz volunteered with the unit inaugurated by Elsie Ott (see #2), the 803rd Military Air Evacuation Squad, designed to carry wounded soldiers quickly away from the war front. Lutz flew 196 missions to evacuate more than 3,500 men. No other flight nurse logged as many hours as Lutz. She would have stretched that record of 814 hours out further, but in December of 1944, her C47 hospital plane picked up wounded soldiers from Lyon, Italy, and then crashed. There were no survivors. Lutz was the first woman ever awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, conferred posthumously. This was in addition to the Air Medal (earned four times), the Oak Leaf Cluster, the Red Cross Medal, and the Purple Heart. In 1990, the Veterans Administration Hospital in Saginaw, Michigan was named in her honor.

^ not a superhero, a real life hero. Hence, doesn't count.

You just said superhero, not fictitious superhero.

Dude, I know you aren't that literal. Find me an awesome comic book female superhero who isn't just a female version of a male one (by the way, don't you dare say Wonder woman. She is not awesome).

Rouge from the X-men.

Fair point. If I had that power, no one would question why I didn't want to touch people. However, her power is limited, and very much like the male super villain called Leech, with the only significant difference being that Leech can steal powers and hold onto them long enough to use them (Leech is also the name given to a child in the 3rd X-Men movie. While that was a little girl, usually Leech is portrayed as a boy).

Then she would be a real life "action-hero" which is something totally different than a superhero. For example, Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo" character is a perfect example of a fictitious movie action-hero.

Superheros don't have to have super powers, especially non-fiction superheros.

Sylvester Stallone is a douche bag. Ivan Drago is the cool guy, so is Ivan fro Iron Man 2, whom was denied rightful retribution. Tony Stark never showed Ivan mercy in Iron Man 2, even though his father ruined Ivan's life and his father's life, that is why he is a douche bag hero like Rambo and Rocky. No mercy, no warrior, only douche bag.

That was funny in "Rocky IV" how Ivan Drago was made out to be the villain for doing steroids even though Stallone was obviously on them too.
