ail221, male speedos? hahahahahahahaha 
I second that!If I could outlaw one thing
it would be bullying, especially to our youth who have chosen an alternative lifestyle.
This is the absolute worst in my opinion ------------------

Speedos are absolutely necessary if you are a competitive swimmer. Frictional resistance in the water can account for as much as 0.5 seconds in a 100 meters freestyle, and that's easily the difference between a gold and not getting any medal. It needn't be the Olympics. Even a high school swim meet matters. Lycra skin suits are worn in all sorts of sporting events to gain an aerodynamic edge for the same reason. I'm a cyclist myself and I have a wardrobe of form fitting Lycra outfits, with shorts bulging at the crotch more than swimmer Speedos..IP: Logged |

I forget where I read it (maybe it was Dirty Little Secrets of the Twentieth Century) but it was pointed out how many died from disease, natural disaster, and the like, and the most killed (more than all other reasons combined together) in the 20th century were those killed by their own governments...and that didn't include those killed in war (including suicide missions, btw, and some presumably respectable news program once reported that D-Day at Normandy was seen as a suicide mission by FDR and Gen. Eisenhower so that there was a speech meant to exploit American lives lost but when Americans unexpectedly won the day they had to scramble like mad to make the appropriate speech instead!) So if we should ban things that are dangerous to us then I see no other alternative...prohibit government! IP: Logged |

Well you shouldn't have.This is so silly. First of all, if someone rejects you and a bunch of other men - it is not necessarily because you were too nice. It might have nothing to do with you at all. Maybe she had other problems in her life and was not interested in anything romantic at the time.
Maybe she did not want to be involved with someone at work.
Maybe she was still in love with her ex etc.... Secondly - a GREAT majority of people will react to someone being aloof and rejecting them. This is not even a sexual thing. This is just because everyone wants to be LIKED.
Even if someone of the same sex behaves this way (assuming you are hetero) - you could still have this reaction. Thirdly - Personally I want to maintain a cordial/nice relationship with people at work. If I felt like someone had a problem with me, I would definitely give that person more attention because I would want to try and be friends.
It would make me uncomfortable if someone was being a jerk, since I'd have to see them basically every day.
It's a very normal feminine reaction to try and 'get more bees with honey' so to speak.. and be nice when someone is being a jerk.
If anything this is just good office-politics and networking skills. Fourthly - quote:
.I was very tempted to pursue her bu I didn't want to hurt her so I decided against I
WOW. Just WOW. So you being an a-hole and playing a stupid game with her was not hurting her.
But you being a man and actually pursuing her - would apparently have 'hurt' her. ________________ :edit: btw... you are the third Taurus Moon man who I've heard about behaving this way. I do not understand how Capricorn Moon and Taurus Moon are meant to be compatible.. because all I feel like doing is nagging you guys. The latest Taurus Mooner... When I first met him - he took offence because he thought I was dismissive towards him - when he was friendly and flirting.
In truth - I *was* dismissive, but this is because I had other problems that day. It had no connection with him.
Nevertheless he took it extra personally and decided to be an ass for the next week and try to get my attention by flirting with other women and so on. Do you know how completely *silly* this seems from the perspective of a reasonably mature person? IP: Logged |

Absolutely! It must go both ways. However, my comments on this thread were in response to Aquaguy's comments from the previous page and were specific to disrespect toward women only, because that is what he addressed. What I said was not to imply that women aren't disrespectful toward men. It's just that here that wasn't being discussed.  ------------------

I never said she rejected me lol she didn't... and you dodnt even ask what I did. I wasn't mean to her or hurtful at all, I mostly just acted completely disinterested. what I did was put out a bunch of red flags that any girl with common sense should pick up on and run the opposite direction, but i ended intriguing her instead. we were having a conversation with our co-workers and the subject of cheating came up and I said " everybody has something on the side, ain't nothing wrong with that." and another time marriage came up and I mocked marriageand commitment." now before I said all this stuff she had told multiple people in the work place that she liked being single and didn't want to get married, well later that same night when me and her were alone she brought up the subject again and said" were you being serious when you said you didmt want to get married?" and said yep. and she replied"well that's sad, I want to get married and have babies." she proceeded to drop lots of hints that she was into ne over the next month or so and I continued to act disinterested. she was supposedly a single and independent girl but she fell for my commitment phobic act, if I had acted interested I guarantee it would have been a different story.IP: Logged |

Any religion mixed with politics and courtroom/courthouse doings.
God name removed from money.
Churches be banned from non profit status.
Yeah, more than one thing but all geared towards eliminating the hyper invasive doings of religions, especially Christian.------------------

I harp on this issue a lot on here and have been accused of being a misognyist because of it, which couldn't be further from the truth. I want women to have some level of self respect, how does that make me a woman hater? lol
Because you are excusing the bad behaviour of men in favour of telling women that they are the problem, that they need to raise their standards. No! Either you're an idiot or you're just misinformed as to what misogynist means. IP: Logged |

I am not excusing mens behavior at all.. I'm just pointing out that women let men get away with too much, I want women to stop putting up with mens crap. I fully agree that men should respect women, but that's not gonna happen unless women stick up for themselves . i'm rooting for women here... IP: Logged |

^ Got you, Aquaguy. I take it you would outlaw men behaving badly, then? And also women who don't stand up for themselves? ------------------
