    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?

    Real Men don't act like that....but boy's do........

    I see the problem. After reading this twice, and noticing no mention of dinner preparation or shoulder rubs, I ask myself "Why did he allow her out of the kitchen?" Obviously he has a problem with control.

    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"?

    I would say you know boys.

    A man would treat you with the same respect around his friends as he would alone.

    I think what you've met are @ssholes as opposed to men. They sound very immature and the sort of people I'd expect to see in a movie that involves a frat house (whatever one of those is ;) ).
    Exactly!

    I work in an industry that is 93% male, and most of my friends are guys as a result; I don't see this type of behaviour except in one or two guys who I don't like very much. Reason being that they are @ssholes.

    I don't see where it said he was single. A little embellishment perhaps?

    Same reason male birds have more colorful feathers - to impress the females and fight out other males. Some less evolved human males aren't sure what to do with their testosterone fueled ego so they get confused and impress the guys and fight the women.

    Reminds me of an old joke: How are men like parking spaces? All the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped.

    ...and yup, you guessed it, I am taken. ;)

    Have a great day ladies!

    I have never had something like this happen, but most men I interact with are friends. But if a guy said what he said about you in front of you..... if that was me in that position he would have had his a** handed to him.... totally go for verbal castration.

    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.
    lol!

    I find wimmin' to be of the same make too. I find folks like this amusing and from there - don't waste any further time on them... unless of course I need further amusement.

    I don't think all men do this.

    But, I have seen this happen, and it is quite humorous.

    I did something along those lines once. In Grade 9 when I was 14. I was told off by a female friend and felt about 2 inches tall. I must thank her some day for helping me grow up.

    That's a huge and inaccurate generalization. I treat my wife as if she is the most important person in myn life. Because she is. And I demand that my friends treat her the same way. And they do. Or they wouldn't be my friends.
