Well your snide remarks got me thinking yes as unbelievable as it sounds feeble minded simpletons do think from time to time.

What am I doing here ? I am not worthy , that and I was reminded why I should stay away from women well away in fact ]. I would have thought superior people university educated people come under this category don't they ? Would be a little bit more respectful to the lesser beings of society (who make up the great deal of society) who scrub your ka ka of the toilet bowl for $7.65 /hr (I know you Americans love to oppress the poor it helps with the draft you see.)


I'm not university educated. I am self-educated. The "women's studies 101" comment was snark, because you reduced everything a woman needs out of life to finding a good marriage.

Also, I am poor. While it's never been my primary duty, I have in fact cleaned toilets.

Lesser beings frees up superiors peoples time so they can direct their awesomeness to undoubtedly make this world even more awesome. Not attacking anyone just an observation, being so feeble minded I've probably got it all wrong anyways.

So your a gamer you can't be all bad I suppose :wink: , perhaps discuss why Douche sorry Duke Nukem forever was so poorly received ? With your college education I would imagine you got it ie a industry joke but in a good way of cause am I really to believe the internet journalists of this world when they give it a score of 1 or 2 out of 10 who am I to judge anyways I'll let the worldly children stick to the games borefare , though I think I'm being a little bit unfair after a 10 year hiatus I decided to let WW rip and it was OK I suppose , as in Halo OK if you know what I mean. Their was a time when GTA was fun :wink: .


I don't have a college education. I have no idea where you're coming from.

Judging by your tone around here I would imagine Duke would be right up your alley :wink:


No, Duke Nukem Forever is pretty much the opposite of everything I want out of a video game. DNF is not an industry joke - it's just a load of useless sexist rubbish.

My problem with your post was stated in the previous reply:

Quote:
What you said: You simplified the differences between men and women to nothing more than what women are expected to do in a relationship - and not even the entirety of a relationship. You narrowed it down to "don't be expensive and don't nag" (yes I paraphrased).


Your attempts at button pushing aren't going to hit the mark if you constantly try to push buttons that aren't there. I am sorry that you're so wounded by the fact that I didn't take your assertion about women seriously, but it was remarkably clueless as many of the men here are about women. There's a lot more to life than finding a husband, and staying home all day doesn't mean "doing nothing all day." And in this economy, staying home is rarely an option for anyone involved in a relationship.

No offense your avatar says university of Sunnydale California so what am I to think?

Yeah I was teasing with Duke I just think it's hilarious seeing a 80's action man in modern day set pieces, he shouldn't even be around in this day and age, :wink:



His like the obnoxious uncle who comes around every Christmas, you should loathe him yet can't help liking him. Best part of this game is it gives a 2 finger salute to poo faced modern day game developers, remember when GTA used to be fun :wink: , thank god we have SR3 for that I'm sure you'll find something in that game to disapprove of . :wink:

That leaves me thinking what games would be suitable for you 99% of games are nothing more than sexism, jingoism, and killing ?

Wii sport's perhaps ?

Sunnydale isn't a real place, it's a town created for Buffy the Vampire slayer:

The cat I use as my avatar was a kitten that two of the characters had while attending UC Sunnydale. I presume you did not also assume I am literally a kitten named "Miss Kitty Fantastico"?

Saints Row the Third is on my Steam wishlist. I enjoyed the GTA games as well, but they're in a completely different category from Duke Nukem. On the other hand, in real life I have cut off my obnoxious uncle from all contact.

I've seen enough 80s action movies to know that Duke Nukem Forever doesn't really fit that mold either. What the devs wanted was someone like Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness. What they got was a drunken fratboy. It's a rubbish game that appeals to rubbish sentiment.

If you dig through my posts on the video game forum, you can find references to multiple games I have played or am currently playing.

Not if they feel male and wish to be a man, they don't.

Socially speaking women and men both have it difficult in their lives… and let us be forgiving of not knowing the difficulties/expectations that each gender face - that being an aspie, has made it more difficult for her/him.


I could care less about being pretty.

I've seen you say this many times. Have you considered talking to a professional about transitioning?

I don't expect, need, or deserve an answer to this, because it's about you and only anyone else's business as much as you want to make it anyone else's business. But if this is something that is causing you actual distress, it's definitely worth consideration.

I believe women in general have an easier time in American society and probably human society in general. A woman can simply 'play dumb' and she will still find someone who will take her in romantically and pay for all or most of her wants. Men don't have quite that luxury.

As far as whether women find life easier or not, I don't know.. I suppose it could be emotionally taxing to feel you have to always pretend to be dumb in order to have a relationship. And if you don't want a relationship, the pressure might be greater on women to find one than on men.

As far as having all your basic physical wants and needs taken care of, though, women in general definitely have it easier.

Why is that a "luxury"? If a woman has to be in a relationship in order to be taken care of, it's just a polite form of prostitution. What's so great about that?
