I'm thinking today's feminist would make Christopher Hitchens pop off into one of his debates if he were still alive today.

A man of quality is not threatened by a woman of equality. Once one can get by the fear that one must dominate or being dominated one can see the give and take of a relationship. I can still remember hear my older sister saying that she wouldn't stoop so low as to be equal with men.laugh

I'm all for equality, so feminism (which is essentially just an endorsement of the equal rights of women) is a-ok. Radical feminism on the other hand feels less about equality and more about retribution, which I'm not so keen on (well, not at all really). I'd rather judge people as 'people' first and foremost before I start looking at gender-related factors.


I agree 100%. Folks just can't seem to identify the difference between a Feminist and a radical Feminist. It's nice to see a man that understands it. :thumbsup:

Everybody likes an intelligent independent caring person who is
attractive and open and fun. It's a slam dunk.

Slam dunk but who slammed it? :wink:

in this day and age I do not know how you get around this..
my last house cost.. over 700,000..
women need to work... in doing so they gain independence..
they are exposed to more outside influences..
more temptation.. I miss the 60's
. at least what they represented..
mothers staying home.. raising the children... not only that but thay kept an eye on the neighborhood...

Audrey,

it is your posts. Do you want a real mans opinion?

Your an amazing young lady. Yes you are great on the eyes, but I am talking about the clear talents you have, the desires you allow us to see and the heart that comes through in your posts. You are genuine to your friends. I can tell. And most certainly a draw to be around.

Are you worth the chase? Absolutely.

Are you catchable? Not sure.

How would the right man know? The bad boy knows how to draw your attention and try and trap you, thats different. And I am pretty certain you have experience this.

I am talking about Mr right seeing you in starbucks and saying, "I want to get to know this gal". Are you catchable? Are you available for a permanent relationship? Do you know what you are willing to offer to that relationship? He is going to make great sacrifices. Are you willing to give the sacrifices that come with being in a committed relationship? Can he see that he can trust you and that you are going to stay when things get tough? Cause they are going to get tough.

A real man is going to be looking for those signs. not your words or the flip of your hair but he is the one looking deep in your eyes to see the real you. Real men are attracted to you physically but are not going to chase you to have a piece of it. Thats what bad boys do. They will chase you for your character. And appreciate you physically too. Even years later when that fades away.

When we find that girl who wants that kind of relationship, A real man is there to stay. thats the real chase. Very few seem to be into the real chase anymore. But there are still plenty. But you have to be offering the real bait for a real man.


There's a lot of me I don't show on here. But it is nice when people say those things based on what I post here. Because it really is all me.

Well thanks. I enjoy being worth it because that's what I believe I deserve.

Am I catchable? That depends on who cares to get to know me.

The bad boy is what most people will get in life. I refuse to accept it. I have some experience in this because they think they are so good at hiding it. I think there's some value in learning who people really are. An azzhole vs. the real deal. It helps.

That's funny because some of the most unemotional men troll a Starbucks and sit amoungst me. Such an attractive quality too. Are they thinking these things? I don't know. Sometimes all I hear in the air are big hot-shot movie scripts and stock options invested with life savings. But I feel most are probably scared I will reject them for a multitude of reasons they make up in their head. Anybody who knows me, really knows they won't even have to question my standing in a relationship. I am truly the most honest, to the point person there is when it comes to hard work in a relationship. The real question is, who is brave enough to actually work with me?

Men in today's world will chase a piece because its just easier. Everybody knows physical beauty fades and inner beauty is the only thing that survives. Its like a myth to some people but its there. And its worth it to be around. Not everyone has this and most men will take advantage of it. There's me, a steadfast woman who knows what she wants, which can send some men off like the road runner in the other direction.

I don't know what the real bait is. I have become secure in myself as well as what works for me. All I can offer to a man for right now is a foundational friendship. I can't pray for true love when I know the very thought of falling in love or even liking someone will scare a man into submission or rather their own personal oblivion. Point me a real man who does the "real chase" and I will locate a unicorn for all to see. For now, there's a Big Bang Theory rerun on with my name all over it. bigsmile

Ah but you do show more about yourself than your words. For those who are looking. It shows in your eyes and your smile and what is behind your words. And you are right. Most men are not what your looking for but not all are bad boys. Some have just given up.

And offering the real bate? You already said it and you already do. Real beauty is inside not out. Real men see the inside. I feel for ladies who work so hard on the outside and neglect the inside. (Or are insecure because they don't like there outsides). There is no way they will ever get anything but the guy looking for a piece of the outside. And those guys know those ladies will give it up because the gals think thats the bate. But a woman working on making the inside beautiful is magnetic to a real guy. He wants the whole package. The real guy wont fear your view of deep love and commitment. The ones running when they hear this are the ones looking just a piece and deciding the price it too high. MAKE THEM RUN.

I am fully confident in telling you that you are attractive to me. Because of the character traits that you show behind your words, the eyes and the smile. So keep building the character traits and values you want for your life and let it be known your a person who wants a long term committed relationship. If you want to fish in the pond with the guys were are left who want that. You will attract them not make them run. After they order their starbucks.

'Bazinga!' Ha



I feel like I neglected this because it was directed at me but in the most positive of lights. A rareness you don't see often in people but when it hits you, a massive double take is needed just to make sure it really happened.

I don't really know who looks. What you see in front of you is ultimately what you will get. For the man who actually looks, shocks me. I feel like I'm in my own little chaotic whirlpool sometimes, stubborn and hermit-like, whoever wants to be caught in that is in for a wild ride, such is life. You're right, they have, I don't see or hear authenticity often, and when it happens it's a surprise every time.

I feel like I am. Who knows? I live in LA, it does something to your brain the longer you matriculate/socialize here. That completely describes the two types of women who live where I live. I don't have to work really hard, I just am. I feel I don't need to be anything other than me. Or rather the ones are just not really over the person who destroyed their heart, makes them sprint. I really believe it's a fanciful approach to look at it. I remain an observer. Just despise saying it's a definite because not everyone gets a full house when you play a hand. I suppose you're right though.

That's nice to hear. I don't always see it but I feel like I'm ok with what I have. It's ok for me. Maybe, you're the only guy here to really notice this and actually mention it to me as a virtue. Hah, well it all remains to be seen doesn't? Whoever the eyes are behind what you're saying is real, it's unknown for now.
