Well, about the movies, that happens because gender roles ARE a social construct. Stuff like that is not going to change in a very long time. Women have been told all their lives that they are all unique princesses that should hold out for that true love bullshit. Obviously, the only place you can find that is in the movies. I'm not saying you can't fall in love, it's just that the concept of love is being treated in a ridiculous way in the movies. Girls get brainwashed very early on to believe in stupid shit like that, and even though they have never been in a relationship, or even in love, they still have a million opinions about how a perfect man, a perfect life and perfect love should be like.That's ridiculous.

Even if you're saying that the only reason men and women behave instrinsically different is because they're groomed to, that's still accepting that the intrinsic difference is there.

I'm not purporting to know the why, I'm just relating what I've perceived in my personal experience.

Nah, if you're groomed to it then it's just a difference, not an intrinsic one.

If a woman wants to act like a man, or a man like a woman, more power to them, they should have that freedom.

imo the "like a woman" and "like a man" adjectives should be abolished 8-)

People should just do what they like, can we all agree on that? 🙂

Let's just abolish women. Far simpler.

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

Dudes I wish I was a table. I could find myself a nice little chair, and maybe we could have nice placemats together... Maybe even a living room, who knows?

:sad:

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know my wife and I had a healthy baby boy-Griffin. I may not be on the boards as much, if at all the next few months. Take care.

Y'know, there's a reason that when a chick flick gets released, the opening weekend attendance skews about 60-40 to women. Hell, there's a reason they're known as "chick flicks" in the first place. And it works both ways. When big action pictures open, the attendance skews the other way. You think that's a coincidence every single time it happens, which is pretty much every weekend? Men and women are inclined to like different things, and they TEND to be more likely to share those predelictions with other members of the same sex. I write tend in capitals because I acknowledge that there are of course exceptions.

Because that has nothing with marketing and the manipulation of art and media to constantly re-assert these constructed gender roles...

Chilling at a coffee house in Philly, tonight I'll be going to a reception full of professors and hopefully attractive grad students from Emory and Villanova. Villanova has some hotties, strutting around the conference. The trick will be to tell people my interests are in queer theory yet I'm straight and would love to take them up to their hotel rooms... :unsure:

I realized the same when I broke up with the mother of my child, it took me like a year to get back my mojo. And now I feel great. Asses come and go in our lives.

Indeed, and asses aren't worth compromising your own personality over. The key is your own psyche and your ability to let the right things in and keep the wrongs things out.

Most of us would do well to have at least some space in our relationships.

Just found out that a guy I knew was killed about a minute away from my mum's house in my hometown. It's shocking in general what happened, never mind it being in a small town to a ridiculously nice person. Some people are pretty fucked up :/.

My buddy/roommate went to the bars last night, I was suppose to go too but I was too goddamn tired, and he came home around 3:30 am with a concussion. He refused to go the hospital, he just wanted some Tylenol. So now this morningnwhen asked what happened, he has no clue. He was with this chick that he's seeing but not really seeing, so maybe she knows.

Everytime this guy does something, something bad happens to him or around him. I just wonder who he pissed off last night.

congratulations ness! :dio:
