| "Misandry" doesn't exist. You don't believe in science, you don't believe chromosomes exist, you don't believe electrons or atoms exist. There's not much you think does exist. This seems to be a mechanism for you to deal with the massive gaps in your knowledge. I really struggle to respec... |

All I did was correct someone and for that I was attacked, sworn at and called names. And you're calling *me* a flamewarrior? Go troll somewhere else. |

| Yes, it's in error, but an awful lot of people DO call sticky tape "sellotape" and a tannoy a tannoy. There I just did it too. Is it just killing you inside and has it ruined your day? Talk about pedantic. Get the f**k over it. Not all people use brand names for things but an awful lot of... |

| But I see nothing hateful about a man believing a woman should clean, cook and raise the children or a woman believing the man should earn the resources. It depends. XFilesGeek's explanation was a little narrow, it is hatred or contempt. If a man expects the woman to clean\cook etc as that's all sh... |

| What's the point of this thread? That people put adverts like that on the internet? That's not unusual at all for internet dating. Are you trying to say that craiglist is just full of these so there is no point using it? If so we've already been here, I've proven you're cherry picking these adverts.... |

| UK: all vacuum cleaners are "hoovers" regardless of brand, US: they are just called vacuums or vacuum cleaners It might be common but it's not proper language, they are still called vacuum cleaners. I always say vacuum cleaner but a lot of people do say Hoover. Good for you, but if you ca... |

| When I saw the thread title a part of me hoped it wouldn't turn into a thread ranting about how women only date guys that don't treat them well, they don't date guys that are poor and so on. It's nice to have dreams. Not a movie and alas somewhat related to my opening remarks, but I've been watching... |

| Wow, what a great idea. You have to be the first person to ever create fake profiles on a dating site to prove that women prefer attractive men as if that's a bad thing in order to validate some latent misogyny. |

| Wasn't one of the Popes part of the Hitler youth? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. If christianity did not exist in USA and Buddhism/Hinduism/Islam was the norm then racism would not even exist. Whenever this is studied Muslims always top the list as the most intolerant. They are the m... |

| Thanks guys. It's threads like these that remind me how awful it was being in relationships. I really think a FWB arrangement is the way to go. Yup, a FWB arrangement is the most headache-free and egalitarian form (almost though, not entirely) of relationship. Do you have an ASD diagnosis? Re-quoti... |

| Don't tell him you like him, you're 24 not 12. If you say that he'll think you're a ret*d child. You're both in the same venue for the same thing so it's easy to initiate conversation, if you can't do it here you can't do it anywhere. Simply ask him what he thought about whatever it was you just stu... |
