Males and Females

Man yall are like a bunch of cheerleaders arguing about who's gonna make prom queen. If your looks suit your personality, you're hot. If they don't, you're not.

Jake I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're saying as relates to sexism, can you put it in layman's terms? Haha.

There's a 7 year gap between my bf and I, he's 23, I'm nearly 30. There's times i notice it, some things he says and does can be a little immature, but most of the time it's not an issue, he's got a very mature work ethic too.
He like to call me grandma a lot and says I'm a dirty perv cougar though lol :D cheeky git!
Age as a whole shouldn't really factor into a relationship if both people are say over 18, can't see the prob if a 40yr old dates an 18yr old. If they find things in common and get on maturity wise then good for them I say :) after all, can't help who you fall for.

An 18-year-old with a 40-year-old violates the half-your-age-plus-seven rule. The lowest a 40-year-old can go is 27.

I just wouldn't want to waste my time with someone who I don't really have much of a future with. I'd eventually like to have a normal family, and I don't think I could do that with somebody 10+ years older than me, and I wouldn't want to waste that time where I can be courting somebody who I do have a possible future with. I mean, I'd have no problem dating somebody who's a few years older than me, but nobody who's twice my age or anything like that.

None of this would be for a while though. I'm still really young.

Well, I have a more uncharitable reason behind it. A woman may age like fine wine, but wine doesn't improve indefinitely with age, so I don't wanna stick around for that as long as I'm relatively young.

The friend zone is a real thing, but has come to mean something else to the rising generation, and that false preconception is what contributes to rape culture.

I'll expand on this later when I'm not in the middle of work.

I have a story that works as an allegory for the friend-zone. In my senior year of high school, a friend invited me to someone's graduation party - a friend of his, but more of an acquaintance to me - telling me there would be food. So I came to his house in lieu of dining out with my family. But the food that they had was pretty disappointing; basically, just lunch meats and some assorted snack stuff. It's not like this guy owed me shit, but I certainly regretting attending this thing instead of having a real meal at Puccini's.

I IM'd my friend later on saying that I thought there was gonna be real food, and he said "Yeah, me too, lol." So it's not like I was deliberately misinformed. But I had every right to feel disappointed, even if I wasn't owed free food. It was a decent party on its on merits, but not something I would've skipped out on dinner for.
 
Sure thing Carpe. It seems to be an idea among radical feminists that guys expecting "favors" from girls for treating them well, buying them things, etc, are sexist (and some say it promotes "rape culture", which I really don't understand.) But there's a difference between just wanting sex and wanting to date a girl.

I really have a problem with this, because there are girls who take advantage of guys who do things for them. But then again, any guys who go along with it just for the attention are just as pathetic.

Also... my ex-girlfriend is 18 and I'm 24. Half my age plus six. Shit, I missed.

That would make people like Zeph/Butt/Yoda/etc pretty damn hot, so I can't say I agree.

In a way, Zeph is pretty hot, from what I caught of him holding his enormous fucking cat. From what little I've seen of his personality - doesn't start shit, general peace keeper as a mod, doesn't seem to have problems with anyone - he's like a less pussified Toki Wartooth. I can imagine that dude wearing toe socks and being like YEAH motherfucker, I fuckin wear toe socks and love my cat, and I watch nature shows and cry sometimes, but I could bang your gf because I listen to her bitch about coworkers and she fuckin likes my toe socks too.

Idk what Butt or Yoda look like.
 
Maybe this recent criticism is geared towards a different meaning, but I always thought the friendzone was more about a desire for romance than sex. It sucks because of the unrequited feelings, not the lack of sex. And I think it's sexist of women to assume guys are only interested in girls for the sex. Guys put in the effort to be friends because they like the girl and hope they'll eventually win her affections over time. If that affection never comes, that's disappointing. I'm not going to make excuses for those who turn around and call the girl a bitch and say mean things when it doesn't work out. That's a shitty thing to do. But I don't see anything wrong with a guy wanting to end the friendship if it's causing too much emotional distress.

I've been wearing two pairs of socks at once recently. My feet are extra toasty and fit my loafers more snuggly.

That documentary on Netflix about snowy owls is where it's at.

Yeah agreed with most of that. Thing is, putting in time doesn't win someone's affection. If it does, it's because they're settling, and who wants to feel like a last resort? If she aint interested after the first month or two of hangin, you should know where you stand and move on if you want something more.

That's a silly rule lol :/ if you're attracted to someone both physically and emotionally then I really don't see the problem. Don't get me wrong, I personally couldn't get into a relationship with someone who's any younger than my bf, but in all honesty, when he came walking through the door the first time I saw him, it was instant animal attraction. I didn't think bout how old he was or anything else, just that I wanted him lol I didn't find out how old he was till the next day, after we'd stayed up most the night chatting and chilling out :D

I think the "half your age + 7" only applies to the older person.

I think it's all bullshit subjectivism. It's not about age but intelligence. I was bangin this chick once and every time I started to really let loose and get into a groove she would cry out "excruciating!" Then after a minute we would keep going. After about the the third time she finally said "we need to stop the pain is excruciating. excruciating... e-x-c-r-u-c-i-a-t-i-n-g. excruciating."

smart kid.
