You know, I agree with you. Most women I know only care about these things specifically. I only know 2 women at all that are more personality based than popularity based; and both of them were romantic interests of mine. Finding one is like winning the lottery...
I have a girlfriend and i'm one hundred percent straight I don't know if she's a Pegasister but I do know her younger sister is one.
Classy. Very classy. Because now, when someone disagree with you, you can call them 'white knights' and disregard everything they say. This last addition is unbelievably childish of you. Steelbird and Mateus, I am apalled. I do not want to be responsible of the actions of some conceited women you might have met. Most women don't just go for money and looks. Sure, some people are shallow, but this has nothig to do with whether or not they might have ovaries. Please refrain from putting these attributes on my shoulders just because your love life is messed up. Yu are both being just a teensy bit sexist right now.
I've only been in one relationship, which didn't last long at all (2 weeks max), but I was stupid (otherwise known as 14) at the time. I haven't been in one since, not that I've tried all that hard. On the sexuality front, I've accepted mine for a while now. A lot of people struggle coping with the knowledge that they are bi or gay, but I accepted it pretty quickly. It hasn't changed who I am, I am still the same person as I was before accepting my sexuality, but other people would have you think differently and paint a different picture. I haven't come out publicly, that's still a good bit down the road for me right now, but I feel I have made a start by introducing myself as bisexual when I first joined here. I can do it with anonymity here and I feel like I'm better off just letting it be known somewhere rather than hiding it completely.
I am going by personal experience. I do not intend to be sexist in any form; I was merely pointing out an observation that I have gathered over the course of 17 years of my life. If anything, it's the total opposite. I despise most men for viewing women as objects when, regardless of how they act or their inner motivations, they are still people. I will make it clear: I have nothing against women, or anyone for that matter. (Unless they give me a valid reason to.) I'm going off of the people I know currently. I'm well aware that there are people who are different out there, but I've yet to see them. I apologize if I offended you, because that was not my intent. I stated that most women I know are like this. Not all of them. And, until I observe the opposite, I will stand by my statement. In hindsight, I should have said 'I mostly agree with you' instead of just I agree. That contorted my statement into something entirely different to what I meant, so I apologize. And I just realized that my previous post was a typo... now I feel like an even bigger idiot.
Honestly, I've had my ups and downs with Relationships. I've had a same sex relationship that went well, but with me moving out of the state, it made it difficult and it wouldn't be fair for me to leave and break up with him in a different state. I enjoyed the relationship and I'm still sad I had to break it up. Then I had a opposite gender relationship in which she cheated on me. I honestly loved her a lot but, well, it sucked hard. I am currently trying to find a relationship now, but its on the down low key, cause I just don't think a high school relationship, and one that starts in rural Georgia, would work out for me. Might wait until I complete boot camp, and get to my fleet, and start from there. Don't really care for gender, but personality, as long as the person is nice, and meets the traits I'm looking for in a person, looks and personality wise, I'll be happy. Love is love, and it isn't healthy to be rushing into any type of relationship.
There's a lot of generalization going on in this thread all of a sudden. Anyway, from the last time I've posted in this thread, my opinion has changed quite dramatically, so I might as well update it. A long while ago, I used to be under this ludicrous assumption that men and women were indeed different, but only because they were raised differently by society. Although I had justification for this assumption, it was still more or less blatantly wrong. Now, this wasn't the view I had when I posted in this thread, but it more or less still had a bit of a lingering visage there as well. About a year or so ago, I decided to see what all the commotion was about and sat myself down to actually go ahead and study feminism, the female struggle in modern society, and gender roles. What I found, quite simply, blew my mind. All along I had always been under the assumption that gender equality had more or less been a thing already, but man was I wrong. I read thousands, literally thousands, of accounts of blatant sexism; either in malevolent or benevolent form. My views that I used to hold were quite honestly, crushed into a fine dust and with it gone, I'm now able to see how much it sucks to be a woman in today's society: constantly being cautious, constantly either being looked down on from professional standpoints, and so on. In short, it sucks. However, this view also gave me a second thing to look at, one that isn't actually that widely noticed whatsoever: the struggle of a man in today's society. While I can't testify as to whether it may be easier or not to be a man, there are definitely it's share of struggles that don't seem to make it onto the radar whatsoever. In fact, there was a book in which the author dressed up as a man and went through her life as such to document the results, and she was diagnosed with depression afterwards. I'm rambling. The point is, people of all genders/sexualities are for the most part, exactly the same sans a few quirks here and there that each person might exhibit; everyone is equally capable of being unreasonable idiots, and everyone is equally capable of being unfathomably kind. So in the end, I find myself from not holding an opinion on gender issues whatsoever, to being a firm feminist and masculinist as well. Oh, and since the topic is on sexuality and relationships as well, I turned bi since my last post, Hetero-Romantic Bisexual if you want to get specific, so yeah, turns out me saying, "You don't fall in love with a gender, you fall in love with a person", isn't necessarily true. Though, sexuality is a spectrum, so that might be subject to change.
Although i disagree with your outlook on the human race as a whole, and I stand by the opinion than neither most women are all that horrible (though a lot can be, especially in the teenage years), your apology seems sincere and I see no reason for me to grudge. Cookies for everyone! Re-railing now, I am bi, and I think I've had it fairly easy with accepting family and friends. Most people who have stuck up their noses if I mentioned it have been either really religious or lesbians I have tried to court. I've been in a small handful of relationships, both good and bad ones. I just ended my last one a few months ago, and we went for about a year and a half. Purrrrty uninteresting unless you go into the details.
Considering how I'm only 16 (Going on 17) it's highly possible that my outlook on life is very skewed, so the Teenagers bit is probably how it is. Yay, cookies!
Well well well.... Sooo lets start it of like that: i have a relationship right now (very new just 3 weeks... ) and i had a handful of relationships (that i consider were serious) the longest of nearly 3 years and the second longest of something over a year. Well... my sexuality... my relationships were all straight, but i have some experience with the same gender. Still cant imagine to be in a serious relationship with another girl. What I always learned is, that for different people, different things in relationships are important. For me the most important thing is Loyalty, i just cant take being cheated on. For my BF the most importat thing is Trust. And yes there are People that just want money and looks. I would say that i am not a person like that. It is not important to me how much money someone has and the looks are also not important (im not perfect myself, so why would i want it from someone else?), as long as you get along and find something special in each other.
I'm happily going on 6 years almost with my boyfriend... I think the most important thing for both of us is that we are both kind of nerds so that is what keeps us together. We have different interests but we have a very compatible personality... not to put down anyone that isn't like a super genius, but even just having common sense is enough to be a good partner sometimes - i see so many potentially good relationships fail for crappy reasons because someone was being selfish or not paying attention to the other person's needs or interests.
I have never had a girlfriend and personally I kinda do want one and if I see one more couple making out in the halls of my school im gonna flip im not joking literally every... single.... hall has a couple making out it annoys me
People tend to flirt with me, but nothing serious ever happens. I did like this girl a while back but my best friend stabbed me in the back when I told him. I ya'll need me, I'll be sad over here in the corner.
Im currently in my third relationship. My first girlfriend decided to cheat on me and turned out to be a W***e, my second one was one of my good friends which did not last very long. And my third and current one is still going and we asked each other out last month. Not only are we very deep in the whole romantic thing, but we feel like we are connected to each other very closely. Some relationships turn sour and that's usually a part of life, but they have enormous benefits if they work out well.
Wrong. Jesus never even mentioned it. If you're going to claim to be a Christian, maybe you should try reading the Bible.
