Men...Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?

Myself, my SO supports me and is proud because of that.

You have discovered the species Doucheus Maximus Simpleton, a common predator in the gym apex. Doucheus Maximus Simpleton often perform mating rituals that include beating their chest, hooting, frost tipping their hair, and winking at themselves in the mirror. To keep a respectable rank amongst the other Doucheus Maximus that may dwell within the gym apex, they will engage in an act scientists have labeled "douchery".

The higher the social rank of Doucheus Maximus, the more acts of douchery they will commit, which seems to attract the female doucheus minoritis species and allow them to perform coitus upon them.

Bahahahaha!!!! LOVE it!

Immature boys do that. Men don't do that; point blank.

Me personally? No one but myself and the people I love. I have reached a stage in my life were I honestly don't care what people other than that think of me.

The behaviour you describe however isn't a facet of being a man more than it is a measure of being immature or unsure of yourself. Only under confident people feel the need to put others down in order to make themselves feel or look better.

I will have to agree with this. The guy was a chump and an idiot who couldn't handle a real woman. Just keep doing your work and ignore the boys. The men will make them selves known if they are interested, if not then just keep going and don't let those boys get to you

I too agree!

Shouldn't paint all non-gay men with the same brush. I'm not into all that macho bull**** and all my lady friends seem to really think I'm just awesome. Sorry you are having such a hard time.

I'm the SO and I can vouch for this. He's awesome to me when it's just he and I, yet he talks to me openly around his friends and family and I see no change. That's how it should be.

I've known a LOT of men in my life. Well, I've met a lot of males, and I have to say the majority of them are this way it seems sadly. It really angers me, because I'm NOT one of those girls who will back off. I will say something. It's not even an age thing, like something just a teenager would do. I've seen middle-aged men do it too. Now I know not all men are like this (else I'm sure the human race would've died off by now), but come on...why so many? What does that really get them? Have we women really built a reputation that says "disrespect me, I'm good with it"?

For the most part, yes, you have. Along with dating *kitten* and not nicer guys.

Sucks for you.

Good for my gf, cause I'm not an *kitten*

I've said it a few times but I'll say it again since this topic is so long. I'm not painting ALL guys (or even all non-gays) this way. :grumble: It's good that you are nice guy who has lady friends who think you're awesome

I'll likely never understand that either. Why some women choose to be with a guy who treats them like crap. Or vice-versa. I'm aware it doesn't go one way. I mean, it's really their decision if they want to be treated like trash but personally, I don't understand it.

So I was wondering...exactly who men are trying to impress? A woman gets a man alone, and he's sweet and listens and is (usually) not an *kitten*. Suddenly his male friends come up and it's a complete turn around. He acts like a jerk, treats a woman like some kind of toy that he's lost interest in, and does things on purpose to piss her off just so his guy friends can have a laugh at it. I see the same in the gym even. I was doing some weight training and a guy was talking to me, being supportive, and another guy passed by, asked him what he was up to, and he says "Just trying to get this woman past being pathetic." Pathetic? :explode: What ever happened to "You're doing great!"?? Now for those men who are not gay (and nothing against gays, just this doesn't apply to them), why is it that you seem to be trying to impress males more than females? To be frank and blunt, if it's us females you want to hook up with and make a good impression, shouldn't you at least wait to be an *kitten* until we're gone? So why do men do this? Who are you trying to impress?

"Men"? That was no man, that's a little boy being a jerk. Please do not lump all of us into the same category as him, some of us are secure in our masculinity and do not need to use insults to impress other men.

Okay, last time. I am NOT clumping every person who is of the male gender out there!!! Seriously, please read! :grumble:

Well.. the title does say "Men... Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?"

ironanimal

You addressed the thread to Men. All of them. And it's not like it's the first time many of us have heard this ****, when we've spent our lives trying to be decent people. It's annoying.

Vermilla

Well, I thought putting the title as "Some men out there but not all men but just specifically the men of whom this topic would adhere to of whom are aware of it, but may or may not be reading this post and would likely respond negatively to it if they did anyway....just who exactly are you trying to impress" may be a bit long :laugh: Seriously, though, I've said quite a few times that I did not mean it to be EVERY man out there, yet people keep assuming that. There is no absolute.

Sounds like you are hanging around way too many boys. Real men don't do that.

Poohsta0

Overgeneralize much?

Vermilla

oops, firefox doubled my post up. Sorry. :blushing:

Vermilla

Probably. Where I work, it's mostly females. It's just how it is. Most of the places I'm around guys are either at the store or at the gym. I AM NOT STEREOTYPING EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY GUY OUT THERE SINCE PEOPLE KEEP ASSUMING THAT I AM but it seems that the more mature men are the ones that one would meet at work.

I will have to say, myself and most of my guy friends act the same being with the guys or as a couple . I really hate people that cant act natural around the wife, afraid to say or do what you normaly do with the guys . If you have to pretend your someone else I suggest you get your balls back from her purse and wear them proud !!

meltygarden

I don't know why some men are like that, but I lost patience with it when I was still in my teens. Life's too short for that sort of nonsense. My husband is his same sweet self no matter who is in the room. And if I say "I love you", he says it back whether we're at home or he's in the middle of a board meeting.

IMO, guys shouldn't have to hide who they are around their wife, no, or girlfriend, or female friends, or whatever. Unless that guy (and not saying you, I'm saying if a guy is this way), is an *kitten* to their wife/girlfriend/female friend.

This, you are hanging out with boys. Men don't do that.

iplayoutside19

I've been married for 10 years so I'm beyond trying to impress anyone...except clients. However, I have a daughter and one thing I will tell her about any potential SO is watch how they treat people in general. Of course they'll be nice to you. However, if they're a jerk to a waitress, air cap, stangers in passing etc, chances are their true colors will eventually be turned on you. And if I ever hear of my son acting like that. We're going to have a talk.

MEN don't act like that. And as I get older I catch myself telling boys that they're not behaving properly...regardless of their age. Yes, I'm going to be THAT old guy.

Oh I'm just trying to impress you! Chicks like *kitten*, so if I act like that, you'll like me :smooched:

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, funny, or serious. Hard to tell with text :huh: But the truth is, I am sad to say, yes, some women do like guys like that. I am ashamed that women have become portrayed like that, but I suppose it's our own fault.

Sarcasm. I was always the nice guy in the friends zone behind the *kitten* getting the girl! HA!

Aww! Let's change the world together where the *kitten* remain single and good guys get the girls!

why do women try to impress other women more than men?
[/quote] I think this quote was from fearanloathing? Its being weird and not quoting properly but... Yeah..

What she said ;-)

Fubar_Bill

I don't know how to explain this, but "Most" guys do not act that way.

You could say "Many" guys act that way, but you specifically stated a majority.

Perhaps if you had been a little more careful with your wording less men would have been offended.

By the way, with all of the trouble that you have gone to in this post, I have to ask, "Just Who Exactly Are You Trying To Impress?"

Vermilla

Check that...not even going to bother :yawn:

When a guy acts like a big d i c k... he compensating for having a small p e n i s.....

You are so funny! I am going to remember this one!
