does anybody else do this??

4themoney

do you check single peeps just to see if mike or dmz have weighed in? ;-)

i am doing this pretty much daily now.

i started reading and posting on the bb relationship help forum and the more i do, the most interested in mike's and dmz's posts. there are guys over at BB that are actually interested in finding a girlfriend. the thing is they treat women they aren't interested in the same as they treat women they are interested in.

so, say a guy is talking to two girls. one he's into, one he's not. well, he plays the same push and pull game with both, and then is surprised when the one he wants walks away, leaving him the one he doesn't want. and that girl, that he doesn't want, is like crazy into him.

and there is way more into it than that. that's just ONE topic!!!

the more i read over there, the more interested i am in what mike and dmz have to say about the topics posted here!!!! :-)

TheKitsune6

BB?

Lift_This_

sounds interesting....what is this BB you talk about?

flimflamfloz

BB = BodyBuilding (and not some beard burn :laugh: )

the more i read over there, the more interested i am in what mike and dmz have to say about the topics posted here!!!! :-)

What?!
Are you saying there is a world outside of the female dominated community of MFP SP where the few men who are trying to voice a different >>opinion<< get rammed every time they post?!
That comes as a surprise...

4themoney

i have never rammed them. i don't ram. :-)

and yes, i am enjoying the male dominated view. it's very interesting, but at the same time simple and ineffective most of the time.

it comes back to " how is that working for you?"

whatever i am doing right now, is NOT working for me. So, i have to change. i can accept that and will make changes. not all people can do that however..........

I'm glad you find me entertaining. While every guy doesn't think like me, I'd say that over 50% do. If it wasn't for David and I, this forum would be dominated by sleepy "why doesn't he like me for who I am" topics. I feel that I do everyone a service here by telling it how it is and not sucking to the posters on here, which some people do. If you have a bush the size of a rain forest and are as feminine as a "pit-bull on PCP", I'm going to call you out every single time.

I go on bodybuilding.com every so often (more-so a lurker though). I find all the meme's and "net-speak" to be really funny. If you go on there, you'll get a good overview on how just about every male thinks.

And that is why I like you and hope you find a great guy. :flowerforyou:

No, never! In fact it's rare that I fully read anything that Mike has to say! :laugh: DM usually just makes me laugh as his comments are short and to the point.

Men like MIke just dont exist in my life, so he's almost like an alien. (No offence Mike, but I think you know, by reading your 'regional differences' thread, that guys like you are rare in London or 'Europe', as you so rightly put it).

In fact, I'd go so far to say that the 'dominant' (I can think of a few other words to call it!!!) males in here are scaring the more liberated, non-argumentative women away! And the more 'normal', modern, fun men hardly comment anymore!

Seems to me that their attitude belongs in the dark ages, not in a progressive society :flowerforyou: And that this forum used to be a lot more 'fun'!! :bigsmile:

I can't say I do. Really the only guys opinion that I care about is my boyfriend's at the moment. He thinks I'm all that and a bag of chips and it's really the only validation that I need that what I'm doing is working (and my own of course! ) I know men like Mike in real life and I typically ignore them. One is married to a good friend of my mother's. He's 48, balding with a beer gut and he's 5'10 if he's lucky and he feels the need to have a pretty little thing of his arm and if women aren't thin, blonde and knock outs they aren't worth his time. His wife is 44, looks like she's 20, size 3, dresses provocatively and constantly lives in fear of gaining weight and getting older and not being enough to "keep her man". I'd prefer my life, even if I look 34, am a size 6, and doubt live in fear of not being enough for the one I love.

They want different things and have different opinions about how the world works and that's OK. Mike and Dave's presence in the forums adds variety, even if I don't believe a boatload of the crap they say.

I happen to enjoy Mike, DM , Flim and P's point of view. They remind me of my boys in real life. I also have a pretty decent thick skin so I just read what they say evaluate if I agree with it and thats that. I like the contrast on the forum

castadiva

I enjoy a good debate (shocking, I know...), so occasionally I do check in specifically to see what Mike has said, because I can pretty much guarantee that'll provoke some response :laugh: DM a little less so, perhaps because he's here less often anyway, and is more concise, less inclined to say things that make me cringe on an almost-every-post basis (though I sometimes think Mike enjoys being a provocateur), and just occasionally, says something I actually agree with (shock, horror!). I do try always to express myself politely and not to 'ram' anyone though, even if I vehemently disagree with what they're saying, and say so!

BTW, Mike - where are you originally from? You now live in Florida, previously in Boston, as mentioned, and I wondered where you grew up and if that affected your viewpoint, which is, as Anna said, an unusual one in this part of the woods- good old British reserve!

I feel like the redheaded stepchild who has nothing of importance to add to a conversation.

:laugh:

Listen, my redhead child, to ensure a response, here is the trick:
- Address to someone in particular,
- Disagree vehemently with their point,
- Stigmatise a bunch of people semi-aggressively at the same time to force not only this person but other people into hitting that reply button,
- Raise your shield to absorb the impact.

(Actually, I do not condone this)

Ok, here is some red hair trivia: redhead sperm is now unwanted in some sperm banks, due to the fact that there is not enough demand to use the current stocks.

I deleted the post 'cause I felt like I was whining. And I hate when people whine.

So... In short, I should act like an *kitten* and then people will pay attention to me!?

Lack of response often indicates agreement... I tend only to respond to those posts I either disagree with, or want to add to. It's not a malicious lack of response, or deliberately ignoring you (I'm speaking for myself, but I'm guessing this is true of most).

There is a lot of overlap in the way Mike and I perceive topics relevant to single life. However, I wouldn't say that we agree 100% of the time.

I would say that Mike is correct that his perspectives represent the way that a majority of guys think and feel. A lot of my posts are based not only off of my perspective, but also based on conversations I've had with other guys in my social circle about a topic. Additionally, there are times where I base a response off of existing research data that I perceive as valid.

TheKitsune6

I don't disagree that Mike and DM represent a good amount of male thinking. Mike especially however represents an extreme. I know every man will see a lady they consider a 10 and fantasize about getting her nekkie to do the deed. But to me Mike is a caricature of those thoughts. It's all greatly exaggerated and out of proportion. It's like looking at a mans perspective, but in a reflection of a fun house mirror so it's all distorted and weird. On the same note, these are things that all guys think of it, but many don't actually prefer or believe. Ask any guy if in an ideal world he would take a smokin' hot barbie stepford wife to cater to his every whim and they'd say hell yeah! But when it actually comes down to it, as visual and physical as men are they also tend to prefer women of substance when it's time for real life.

So I get it, men think like Mike does. But most men worth their weight in salt don't actually live like that.

DM cracks me up because I'm about 75% sure that he's a robot. Every time he posts I think of the borg. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

Well as you all know.. I have a particular fondness for Mike! I really can't explain it..but I love the extreme, non-nonsense, tell it how he sees it approach, and I've always thought much of it was just to stir up debate or have a little fun. Perhaps I don't believe anyone would actually be that extreme in real life!
Considering I am the antithesis of anyone M would ever date.. I'm not sure why it works.. but I love that man!
