The publishers response to the original article:
Upon closely reviewing Tuthmosis’ article, I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing in it that endorses eating disorders or slanders those who have them. He has simply shared knowledge and insights that can aid single men in their pursuit of sexual happiness without hurting women. While some of his statements may be subjectively interpreted, we’re not a scientific journal, and so should not be judged in that manner.
Wow...........just wow!
:noway:
They're getting lots of hits off of it, so I'm not terribly surprised by that response.0 -
See the bolded areas above. Men like it when a women is vulnerable??? Most of the men I know and hang out with prefer strong, independent women. Maybe that's just me though :noway: Any man that "likes" a vulnerable woman might have some issues of his own
Most men I know, including myself, like vulnerable women. Maybe it's because we feel like we can change them (analogous to the bad boy thing). Maybe we feel like they need us, which is also attractive.
I doubt it means we have issues of our own.
I know you prbably dont mean to but you sound like a predator
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck........0 -
Link is basically just a troll attempt in the form of an article, so I'll skip that and just go to the 'most men like vulnerable women' thing others seem to have noticed, lol.
I've known several guys like that. When they do eventually meet a woman who has her **** together, they don't know how to cope with it. They get frustrated, because they don't know how to deal with a *partner*-- only a dependent. I've even heard them express their frustration at the fact that "she doesn't *NEED* me".
A man who wants that sort of thing is every bit as broken as the women he's seeking out.0 -
AYFKM...??
"you’ll be dealing with a tastefully insecure girl, who’s eager to please, and wants nothing more than your approval"
I almost feel like this idiot was trying to be funny, but failed.0 -

Do you actually mean vulnerable, though? Because my ex liked women that were quiet and timid and liked to depend on him, and weren't bold or outspoken or with big opinions, which some might mistake for vulnerability.
Looking back now, I think that was weird, but purposely hunting out someone with emotional issues is even stranger.0 -
I have been/am dealing with an eating disorder, ever since I was a teen and I can tell all are rubbish! Moi vulnerable? You try me! Costing less? My husband is complaining all the time my groceries cost a fortune, because I only want ecological and am a total brand freak. My obsession made me ill and that didn't make me look good, at least not any better...
Well maybe 5 is correct :bigsmile:
But I guess it was meant as a joke

"They aren’t too many poor girls with eating disorders. These girls come from money, and often continue to wield that spending power right into their adulthoods. Her instinct to please you will translate into her picking up tabs, coming to your door not empty-handed, or buying you little gifts"
quoted right from #4, he is not a very good writer if he doesn't know the difference between "they" and "there"
dumb dumb! he sounds like an *kitten*!0 -
Bwahahahahaha!

Real men don't like vulnerable women. Predators do...
Woah, that's a good thought although I'd argue a lot of them have "Mommy issues" also. Mommy was in constant turmoil and used her son to validate her femininity.0 -
People.. people.. they wrote it specifically to get an angry response. This is the way of the Troll.
Don't get angry!
Group hug?
p.s. I apologise on behalf of mankind, we're not all bad0 -
Meh.
Anyone who spends that much time thinking about types of women to target, excuse me, date, probably isn't getting laid that much.
Usually because they have all the sexual charisma of a damp dishcloth which smells of wet dog.
This. OH SO this!!!!!!! Bravo!0 -
What the hell is that smell?
Desperation.0 -

LOL why do I have an image of a bunch of Rush Limbaughs sitting around smoking cigars talking about all their "poontang?"0 -

Point #5: She’s better in bed.
Not necessarily. It really depends on the severity of the eating disorder, and the author qualifies his argument at the end with the phrase "mild to moderate eating disorder". But what exactly is a mild to moderate eating disorder? It is subjective and vague.
If she is ashamed of her body or has major hangups, it is likely to have an impact on the quality of sex. A lack of energy from consuming too few calories also can impact quality of sex.
Point #3: She’s fragile and vulnerable.
This point seems to have been a point of contention earlier. Strong and independent vs. vulnerable. Ideally, a mix of both is best. When there's too much strength and independence, often times a large percentage of the male population will perceive this behavior as unfeminine. Men like women who display feminine characteristics. Men like it when women wear dresses to dates, are subtly flirtatious, etc. Some vulnerability is a good thing, a desire to please, to exhibit some selflessness. Too much vulnerability and being a wallflower is not good.
The themes I'm trying to express are moderation, balance, and well being.
A true eating disorder isn't a sign of that.0 -

this. vulnerable usually means weak. I don't see why some one would seek out a weak person unless they were a predator or had issues of their own to where they need to feel superior.Do yourself a favor OP and quit saying "most men like vulnerable women". Most douche bags, perhaps, but not most men. I'd appreciate if you quit speaking for myself and most guys I know.
:drinker:

One can be feminine without being vulnerable.

Do I allow my fiance to do some traditional manly things for me, like fixing my car and taking out the trash? Of course. But I don't NEED him to take out the trash. I CAN do that myself. And I can hire a mechanic when my car breaks.0 -

What she said. 100%
And for the record, a woman absolutely can be feminine without wearing skirts or dresses. It'll be a cold day in hell before I do either 0 -

I like you, and I agree. It sounds like the OP wants one of those stereotypical housewives from the 1950's...wouldn't that get boring after a while?0 -

The hot days in the deadof summer in Florida make me happy as a clam to be able to wear skirts and dresses! lol A nice, light sundress is close enough to naked to actually be somewhat comfortable. But when it's cold in the winter, it's all about the pants for this feminine chick.I like you, and I agree. It sounds like the OP wants one of those stereotypical housewives from the 1950's...wouldn't that get boring after a while?
And those really didn't exist then outside of advertisements and television!0 -
