The mere fact that a woman is in a pub -- or anywhere other than her home -- should not imply that she is looking for a hook-up or "One-Night Stand".  To assume otherwise is creepy.

It's kind of like asking why some women wear nice clothes, stay fit, do their hair and makeup, or *gasp* have brains, laugh, or engage in interesting conversations if they don't want to be hit on.

I'll start digging my grave now.

No need for digging, you're right on the mark.

I'll tell you something: Military service was a real eye-opener.  Before, I knew that guys could act like jerks around women, but I never knew why until I actually listened to the other guys on my ship talk about women in the crudest, cruelest terms.

"Why do women even exist, if not for my personal gratification?" was the underlying philosophy of all the creeps I served with.

Those creeps all seemed to believe that nice clothes, a fit physique, styled hair, and makeup all meant that the woman was interested in hooking up with any man who flashed the cash and spoke the right pick-up line.

And that she was a stuck-up b**** if she turned him down.

And the women whose clothes weren't so nice, whose physiques were other than "ideal", whose hair was a mess, and who wore no makeup?  To those creeps, such a woman would be desperate enough to hook up with any man, no matter how little money he had or how unattractive he was.

And they were all s***s if they turned down even one man.

News flash for all you creeps reading this: WOMEN DO NOT EXIST FOR YOUR PERSONAL GRATIFICATION!!

Get that through your thick, numb skulls and let it sink in to your brains.  Then deal with it.

Accusations of trolling are not Ok.
Browbeating users is also not Ok.


Jamesy, if I might offer some advice - instead of creating a new thread for each question you think of, spend more time reading your existing threads.
That so many of them are repeated or address different facets and the minutia of questions already answered is probably contributing to the annoyance expressed, and removed, here.

Think about the advice already offered, and try to avoid asking how to think about it. Sometimes in life you just have to work it out for yourself and it seems you've been given pages and pages of suggestions to help with that.
People are very willing to help but demonstrating how little of that help has been understood and used will likely cause frustration and a souring of further help.

Mike Tyson wouldn't need anyone on his team and could defeat all three of those.

He'd simply bite their ears off, leaving them mortified and running for the horizon.

Are we talking pre-drugs Mike Tyson or the drugged version ?

The only drugs I have heard Mike Tyson take is cannabis. Apparently he has a business of some sort with that kind of thing.

Are you referring to some kind of stimulant for boxers? I don't know that much about his drug use history.

I'm talking drugs prescribed by a Dr, he's admitted he was on antidepressants to stop him from killing people. Before I knew this there was a marked difference in his aggression levels and I suspected he was being medicated but don't have any evidence to back it up.

He was a professional boxer but now is an actor? Some regard him as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He has a chequered past to put it politely.

Iron Mike, also known as the Brick Hit-House and the Southern Dandy.

He also solves mysteries and lives with a talking pigeon.
