In my experience, women tend to hold grudges, they fight, and they won't get over it in months or even years. Men, they fight, they forgive each other the next day or week or so.However, I know a few men that act like "women" in that they hold grudges, make snide remarks and talk about someone in their back because of some minor fall out they had months ago. Anyone experience this? IP: Logged |

Sure. And plenty of women who don't hold grudges, too. There's always an exception to the rule if you look hard enough (including exceptions to "always an exception" ). IP: Logged |

There are actually *quite* a few BYTCH-A-FIED men that exist in this generation today. Don't be fooled! The man of yesterday is becoming a rarity in some ways in today's world. IP: Logged |

My ex experienced that with one of his best friends. I had told my ex that his behavior seems really off. What my ex didn't tell me(another mutual friend told me later) was that my ex's friend was trying to ostracize me from their circle of friends. I had sensed it, told my ex that I was uncomfortable donating money, time, or food to their party they were having, come to find out that I was not invited because of my apparent ***** behavior. What a joke. I'm actually still friends with them because I let it go, but my ex and the other set of friends dropped him and his gf. Too much drama <__<.IP: Logged |

In a way, I pity y'all women, "modern" guys are pretty much choc a block full of bitchassness.It's as if no one has taught them how to be men or even male Backbiting, lack of toughness or even honest Chivalry, hold grudges. It was once said "never trust anyone over 30" Now it's if they are under 30, they more than likely soft IP: Logged |

Much of what is male is social stereotyping and varies in time and place. I see nothing wrong with "soft" men. As to bitchiness and men acting like women; grudges etc.; well again; what does being a woman entail? I think all these issues are basically any gender and it's society and or the times or just plain how "people" of any gender can be or not. I freaking hate stereotyping of gender and gender roles and gender inflexibility, ie; only allowed/accepted to be gentle women, or tough guys, and no gentle guys and tough women. Ugh. IP: Logged |

Its a little common knowledge that women do hold grudges more than men because they are more sensitive beings. I dont mind men who are emotional, loving, sensitive, YET strong, masculine, and brave I just dont like bitchy, catty men. lol IP: Logged |

Many of them are indeed very SOFT. Totally full of Bitchassness! And by soft, I don't mean you need to be a jackass! Many of the softest men are the ones who put on the *OVERLY AGGRESSIVE* front who are usually the ones who have a lot of mouth on them but cannot FIGHT for shyt! A man (or woman) who whines or complains 24/7 needs to be buried alive. Under cement LOL. A man who can't ever handle TAKING THE LEAD and who constantly relies on women to make moves first is repulsive to me -- THAT is soft. I'm not completely traditional OR progressive. There are positives and negatives to both "eras".
For instance: I'll go out on dates with a guy to do FREE things sometimes, like strolling in the park together...just talking & enjoying each other's presence! However, under no circumstances will *I* be paying a MAN'S way to *anything* on the dates that are NOT free. You don't court a woman and ask HER to pay - totally absurd. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking and never will! Now once in a relationship, I'll treat him on occasion. Another example: Is it weak for men to cry? IMO - nope. And someone doesn't have to be dead for him to do it!! It's not good to hold everything in, so I'm a big fan of men TALKING out their emotions. Let your Lady in on your thoughts, fears, joys! You don't necessarily have to cry -- just be sure not to BOTTLE your feelings up all the time. However...don't begin crying over every little thing & start PMS-ing because that is TOTAL bitchassness right there! I do not support a "gender-less" society. Where EVERY single thing has to go in the opposite freaking direction. There are some things of *OLD* that needed to change and evolve - I support those changes. But there are also some things of *NEW* that are tacky, tasteless & silly and of no help to relations between men & women AT ALL. Laziness on the part of MEN...and brashness on the part of WOMEN. Alright. Rant done.

Understand what you mean, I experienced opposite gender roles with my Scorpio ex. He basically wanted me to make all the decisions in our relationship, he acted like he was the woman lol. After awhile I got acclaimated to taking on the ”masculine” role. But eventually got sick of his lack of intiative, it got old quick an decided I did want to be with someone that behaved as a man and took responsiblity. He was a loser that expected the woman to do everything, taking the fall for things that went wrong. IP: Logged |

A gender-less society insinuates that there are *no roles* to be played. EVER. Under no circumstances. I do not agree with that. Some areas are in the GRAY. Yes. But other areas are BLACK or WHITE - simply not up for debate no matter how bad some people wish it was. IP: Logged |

And THAT is the "ah hah" moment here. Women CAN play the Lead or the "masculine" role. But they do not WANT to! And they should not HAVE to! But a society full of lazy men is what you end up with when women don't *REQUIRE* a man to play his role or pay his dues BEFORE she decides to give her *all* to him. Thank you for your reply.

My ex basically behaved as a really attractive woman would behave, he had a gigolo type way about him. To him since he was good looking guy he let others do for him. He thought I was a sweet girl that would continue to put up with it...well he was wrong lol!Total f**king douche bag IP: Logged |

"A gender-less society insinuates that there are *no roles* to be played. EVER. Under no circumstances."I know what a genderless society insinuates, but I don't understand how you can disagree with it. The dissatisfaction in relationships doesn't really stem from men playing a "woman's role" (and furthermore what is so bad about acting like a woman? That's deep rooted misogyny, also, in my opinion) "He wanted me to take all the initiative." It has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with an unequal amount of responsibility within the relationship. IP: Logged |

I dont understand. Isnt there diversity? Different types lf men? If you dont like a specific type of male why do you think they should change for you? Maybe you just need to find the person who fits you instead of playing "role playing games" ? No? In my opinion its not in a mans place to run after a woman, or pay for her. I think the extreme "role giving" is useless, one always chases, always pays, so dont you end up the lazy person? Do it 50-50 to keep it balanced instead of becoming a passive person looking for someone to do everything for you, or an exhausted person taking care of a slob who does or initiates nothing. Making stereotypical gender roles will always make the man big and important and the woman a "support" and not a person for herself , also while being demeaning for people who do not fit the stereotype, and feel like they are forced to be something that is not truly them.

General point I am trying to make is nobody deserves to be used whether male or female. But bad qualities can be found in both.I guess my rant belongs in the dating thread IP: Logged |
