I've only ever loved one woman. I went out with her for a few months in 2002 and 2003 (though I'd known her on and off for three months before then), and I was absolutely devastated when she dumped me.
A few months after that, another ex put me through one of the worst experiences imaginable. Thanks to those two "incidents", I now know that 99% of women are no more than snakes with títs. I have several female mates and one female friend who is an absolute star. But even she admits that women are "a nightmare"! |

Only if she works like a horse doing housework. [;)]

Have to admit I just don't understand this snakes with tits. (well apart from my ex wife of course!).
Generally speaking women are much better than that, imo. Also if you have that attitude in life don't be surprised if you then get treated as such. |

By:
So, max and paddy, after just two women dump you, you label 99% of the female population 'snakes with tits' - GROW UP

his sample size does seem a bit big

By:
:: The second one didn't dump me. I dumped her.
:: To be fair, it's not just those two incidents. It's other experiences, together with seeing what's happened to other people, that have convinced me of that famous statistic. |

Max and Paddy,
We've all had bad experiences.Accentuate the positives,minimise the negatives,as they say. |

What was this experience that turned you off women? I know I am nosey, blame it on me being a snake with tits |
|
By:
was it true about the porn bit though?
|
|
By:
Of course, terry. I never lie on here. I can forgive a person almost anything but I always say if you lie to me then it is over.
If I was a man and my girlfriend/wife did not like porn then I would be very concerned about any future sex life. Women can pretend to like sex until the ring is on her finger or she has had a baby by you - do not be fooled. |
|
By:
I have never been "turned off women". That choice of words indicates that I'm drinking at the Blue Oyster Bar every weekend! Many women are fantastic: they're pretty and funny and swallow and everything.
But this one woman got very drunk and then accused me of sexually assaulting her. I was on bail for more than three months before the police finally got their fúcking árses into gear and found that she was lying. It cost me my job, but of course nothing happened to her. Now, is she a snake with títs? |
|
By:
i see where your comeing from on that as it certainly spices things up a bit,and would i lie to you baby?

Yes, I agree, she is a snake with tits
 That is awful, max and paddy. I cannot begin to imagine the horror you must have gone through. However, even after that horrific experience, it does seem unfair to label us all the same as her. |
|
By:
He hasn't, he quoted 99.9% i think.
|
|
By:
Anyone else think there is a fluffy pillows and scented candles forum somewhere where the women are like 'snakes with c0cks!'

By:
Do you mind, David? Only 99% of them are snakes with títs. Please don't misquote me.
|
|
By:
Actually, max and paddy, that is the figure you have quoted in the past, I think
 |
|
By:
What if any of these snakes are flat chested?
|
|
By:
By definition a woman was flat chested would probably not be a snake, because men would not fancy her so much - I think
 |
|
By:
Unless they are out on display or obviously huge they are down my list of things I notice in a woman after a possible initial attraction has registered. A glint in the eye is first, (well a pulse is really first I suppose) and a smile.

I think after skipping through this thread from its title to the last few posts.....I can say safely the answer is no.
That reply was from buffy, a genuine woman poster. You see it is just not me that thinks so. |

By:
I think this is b0llocks. Staying in a relationship, in the same house is bloody hard work and stressful if things aren't great. A decent percentage of blokes try and work at it to sort things, not head for the exit at the first sign of trouble to hit the nightclubs to rattle the first piece of tail that shows any interest. Now tell me this isn't love over lust.
|
|
By:
But the woman you lived with was desirable, presumably? And you had children by her, so there were lots of other reasons to stay. How can you say you truly loved a woman that made living with her 'bloody hard work' and stressful - if there was not an element of desire in it?
|
|
By:
Relationships can be tough and always need to be worked at. But your original post said that men can't truly love - it's only lust. Does love that develops from attraction, affection and desire not count for the purpose of this thread? How many premenopausal men or women do you think deep in their hearts would be completely satisfied in an exclusive platonic long term relationship?

Replies: 2717 09 Jun 10 17:37 I must have read over a hundred thousand posts on here, but I think only big charlie and someone else has said they loved their wife. As men on here have often stated that they have no use for women over 45, does this mean that they really only lust after women, not love? I have reproduced the first post on this thread as I think lots of posters do not read the first one and maybe get the wrong idea about what was the original intention of the thread. |

By:
As you can see, hrh, I never said that men can't truly love - I just asked the question whether they could or not.
I think that if a relationship is tough and needs to be worked at then I think maybe it is the wrong relationship for you. You say that love that develops from attraction, affection and desire should count for the purposes of this thread. But, of course, you disqualify it from counting because you are attracted to her and desire her - so how can you say you truly love her. Would you love her if she looked like Jo Brand? I am not 'having a go' at men over this. I have been in relationships where the only thing stopping me from leaving was the fact that I desired the man involved. My last relationship was based on sexual attraction and he made me laugh - but I did not love him. Whereas a man in the same situation would probably say that they loved her. I am just saying that physical beauty means more to a man than a woman. I could easily fall in love with a man who was ugly and old, I cannot see a man saying the same. In my twenties I had a crush on a man that looked like a frog and was about 45 - but he was a MAN, a rare commodity these days. |
