It really does make you appreciate all the good men in your life. There are some members of my family (some, not all :rolleyes: ) and my husband that make me see everyday, there are good guys out there that are respectful, and loving, and appreciate the women in their lives. Like your boyfriend is for you, my husband is also my best friend. So I'm with you, in thanking those that have managed to avoid turning into the kind of men that we are talking about here, for being stronger and smarter than that.

it also shows you have good sense and judge of character (and good luck too i think)

anyone taking the time in a relationship to make sure there's a real partnership has a far less chance of ending up with an asshole ...

but before you found the right guy - how many guys didnt pass the test and why ...?
(i realize it can just be compatabiliy)

I dated a lot of guys before (I'll guess somewhere in the 7-10 range) I found my boyfriend, Tyler, four years ago, and he's been the only long term boyfriend I've had. Most of them didn't make it past the first or second date because they made it so plainly obvious all they cared about was sex. And there was one or two who just were too quiet and I didn't feel any connection at all with. I knew Tyler was a good man though, because I was proud to bring him to meet my family. And they all loved him right away, so I had backup judgment.

I agree with Papillon Noir, I definitely wouldn't say most men hate women.

and i sincerely hope nothing ever happens to change your opinion .

It's hard to believe a theory proposed by some dirty smiling rabbit goblin with pointy ears and creepy looking eyes!

I honestly have to agree with what Nova was saying earlier on.I'm only 24 and that may make some of you think that i am too young to understand where Urge is coming from.I feel alot older than i am and thats because i have to deal with things that most people deal with alot later in life if ever.I am really not sure if i want to believe that most men hate women because i'm trying to be really positive right now.On the negative side,i have to say,i would be one of the women that hates men.I know its unfir to blame the entire male population for the wrong doings of one man.I'm trying hard not to think this way,i really am.I do agree that most men are only looking for a good time and have no intrest in a woman as a person.I just strongly hope that somewhere out there i can find the one that isnt a complete dick.

there are always exceptions. i do know some really good guys who are out there. you just have to take your time and hopefully get to know who they really are, not just what they wanbt you to see.

one thing you can bank on : people are always great when things are going their way ... but if you want to see what someone is really like deep inside - see how they handle negative experiences .. that's the true litmus test.

I'm a senior in high school, I'm around people who refer to women as "bitches" a lot. I hate it, a perfectly nice little church girl gets referred to as "That bitch over there in the green."I fucking hate it. I fucking hate that word, I'll say it jokingly from time to time, but when used to describe something as beautiful as a girl who managed to remain perfectly innocent and uncorrupted all the way through school I can't stand it.

Most of my friends only think of women as something to stick their parts into, I love all of my friends, but that bugs me a lot.

I love girls. The honesty and innocence that some of them have... it just amazes me. I love it. I'd rather spend my time with a group of sweet church girls than most any of my male friends.

I think women are cool. I might be a little annoyed at certain ones for being jerks, but I am annoyed by certain guys who are jerks. You see what I are saying? :confused: :confused: :confused: If I dislike someone I think it's the exception rather than the rule.
