Oh, boy! I can't wait for a lesson on feminism and how wonderful it is from a man! Gee, I'm so glad I get to learn about this contrived drivel!
Please describe to me what a "typical" outing is with you and your gals. I can't wait to hear this..
Today, a "typical" outing with a female friend would likely be going to some event/festival, or getting together for a meal. In all likelihood, my wife and my friend's boyfriend or husband would be part of this outing. I still might go out for coffee with a female friend to chat and catch up. Before I was married, my female friends and I would hang out at each other's places, drink, watch movies, play video games, check out the cherry blossoms, go to a local concert, go to karaoke, make art, or chat over coffee. This list is not exhaustive, and it's ridiculous that I have to justify my friendships to you, but I'll play your game if it will help shatter your world and somehow prove the impossible to you.
Hyperbole much? Just because we tend to still be mostly "primal" in our instincts, it doesn't mean we're still fucking cavemen.
Well, how do you define "primal"? We don't have to eat when we're hungry, we don't have to fuck when we're horny, we're capable of using logic and reason for every single decision we have to make in our lives. Some of us are capable of having a mature and mutually platonic relationship with a member of the opposite sex, and some are not. What's the problem?
It's not about getting "nothing". It's the fact that you can't explain to me what a woman offers via friendship, on atrulyplatonic level, that I'm not better served by getting from a male.
What I've been trying to explain but you refuse to accept, is that someone's gender makes zero difference as to whether or not someone can be a
trulyplatonic friend. Males do not have some inherent ability to be better friends than females, and females do not have ulterior motives when being friends with males (at the very least, none of the females I'm friends with). My female friends offer me exactly what my male friends offer me via friendship, no better and no worse. I'm closer to some than others, just like my male friends. I keep in touch with some more often than others, just like my male friends. This should not be threatening to you, but it inexplicably is. Get over yourself, man.
Pretty much you're wrong, yeah. These women are either lying to you and want to bang you or you're supporting their emotional/monetary "needs" somehow. No woman wants to be truly platonic friends with a male who isn't gay.
You: Women and men can't be friends.
Me: I'm a man, and I have friends who are women.
You: Then they're not "real" friends.
I'll say it again: No true scotsman.
And by the way, I've been keeping the conversation pretty mature here, but I do take offense at this last statement. You don't know me or my friends. You are in no position to tell me why my female friends are friends with me. Your statement that "No woman wants to be truly platonic friends with a male who isn't gay" is not only unequivocally false, it's offensive to both men and women. Not everybody's as close-minded and immature as you. Get over it.
women dont want friendship with men(im talking about hetero men), if they do then its because they either want to fuck the guy or use him for something.
What the fuck are you people basing this ridiculous assertion on? If anything, it's men that make cross-gender friendships more difficult because they're the first to opt out when they realize they're not getting their dicks polished. Like I said many times, mature men and women have no problem being friends. It happens a lot. Get over it.
chicks arent any more intelligent than we are.
*snicker*
women like gay guys because they can relate better to them. they know hetero men think with their dicks so its uncomfortable for a chick to be with someone who wants to stick their weenie in them and its not a mutual attraction. we arent talking quantam physics here. we are mammals and we want to fuck women, its in our DNA
Allow me to point out some irony here: If anybody makes a comment about political history, fighter jets, hot sauce or pretty much anything, all the "pros" on these subjects will come out of the woodwork to point out any inaccuracies whatsoever in your comment. Because of this, most of you are careful to back up your comments to prevent yourselves from being made to look like idiots. When it comes to women or (god forbid) feminism, on the other hand, it a free-for-all "pull everything out of your ass" random bullshit off-the-top-of-your-head based-on-nothing garbage-palooza.
No, we're not talking "quantam physics" (although several posters here can explain that pretty well too), but that doesn't mean you can say whatever bullshit you want about women and have it remain unchallenged because "C'mon, guys, it's
women. Amirite?" You are not an authority on women. You do not have female friends and, although you've probably made your share of women uncomfortable, you are in no position to make assertions on why men and women can't be friends.
Women use seduction to get their way, once they have male support they whine to get what they need done.
Here we go, another fucking armchair expert on women's psychology.
I don't blame women for whining, they don't have much of a choice, they lack physical prowess, testosterone, and thus usually the confidence to secure what they need.
The majority of us aren't factory workers or farmers anymore. Physical prowess and testosterone are not essential to "secure what we need" anymore.
The main thing that feminism is striving for is for people to stop saying garbage like this, because its exactly this attitude that prevents females from being treated as equals in society.
As long as assholes like you keep perpetuating foolish stereotypes, people will keep calling you on your bullshit and pushing for it to stop. You can pretend your statements are based on genetics or DNA or primal instincts all you want, but you haven't studied any of these topics and you're clearly pulling all this out of your ass. The fact that you have equally clueless morons willing to back up your baseless claims in order to boost their own confidence doesn't make the lot of you any less idiotic. Fucking wow, man.
