Where Did I Go Wrong?

Cassandra doubts reading AskMen.com can help guys answer that question. I have to back her up completely on this bit:

This is ridiculous. I used to hate going to bars because I didn't like turning down even the most obnoxious guys - no one likes trying to come up with nice ways to say, "I'm not interested". Most women don't enjoy hurting other people's feelings, but when a guy makes it obvious he has no interest in her other than a one-night stand, any compunction she might have about embarrassing him falls by the wayside pretty quickly. After all, he's just insulted her by treating her with a complete lack of respect. If you're not interested in getting to know her as a person before you jump into the sack with her, perhaps you shouldn't be surprised if she writes you off. Fair's fair - you weren't wasting any time. Why should she?
Exactly. Look, I couldn't even tell the South African bigot to get lost--it bothers me that much to have to get mean--and he had all but called me a whore for being in a bar unescorted, in addition to his ceaseless castigating of himself for failing to continue "fighting the Negro in the bush." I mean there are losers, and then there are LOSERS. I couldn't even be bitchy to a LOSER.

As for this first suggestion from AskMen.com--

1- She's a bitch
Contemporary society is awash in rude, self-centered, man-hating Sex and the City clones who care only about themselves and have absolutely no conscience about men's feelings (or the feelings of other women, for that matter). Their attitude is: I have a million-dollar sexual price tag and any man is going to have to bow and scrape and pay dearly to gain access to it. These are the women who will try to emasculate you when you ask them out (if you don't have something they can sex-ploit), who get off on making men squirm, and who flagrantly abuse their sexual power.

They forgot one of the most common reasons: she's just a man hating lesbian bitch.

If it weren't for feminism, men wouldn't have these problems with these man-hating lesbian bitches.

Fucking feminists.

Well. Since you asked so nicely.

when a guy makes it obvious he has no interest in her other than a one-night stand, any compunction she might have about embarrassing him falls by the wayside pretty quickly. After all, he's just insulted her by treating her with a complete lack of respect.

Go back and look at Fitzgerald's article; did he say anything about one-night stands? His exact words were, "You drag your feet to her side. From somewhere, you hear yourself asking those fateful words: 'Would you like to go out sometime?'" Note: not "Would you like to come home and toss my salad?" Rather, "Would you like to go out sometime?"

Such lack of respect.

Don't you think a brusque response to a simple request for a date is kind of bitchy? And that some women are, quite simply, bitches? Have I not recently regaled you in private conversation with stories of just such a woman? And it's not like Fitzgerald's offering bitchiness as a global explanation for all rejection; he gives nine other reasons, some of which put the blame squarely on guys. Seriously, if you want to goof on AskMen, there are many, many articles over there significantly dumber than this one to play with.

Credit to Cassandra at least for exploding the idiotic myth of "confidence" in her response to reason number nine. But shame on her for her response to number ten, i.e., "just because you don't match up with her fantasy man doesn't mean you aren't someone else's." That's well-meaning nonsense, as the unfortunate-looking of both sexes could tell you. Tastes vary, sure, but they don't vary that much, as I'm sure any fat girl could tell us. You either got it or you don't, and if you don't, oh boy.

The blockquote in the previous comment is from Cassandra's post, btw. Sorry for not making that clear.

My cousin has a serious thing for fat chicks, Allah. Maybe Cassandra's right.

The truth is there are people of both sexes that lack decorum and kindness, who are self-centered and egotistical. Some of them manage to find themselves partners who accept that behaviour for whatever reasons they may have, but most people tend to put them into the loses list and brush them of.

There are also people who are
not physically beautiful or who have other deficiencie that they cannot easily overcome, and finding a partner for themselves is extremely difficult.They are repeatedly burned by others, both in their sexual lives and friendships. Most people are at least somewhat bound by their physical senses and find it hard to overcome initial feelings of repugnance based on a physical attribute.

The answer is, I believe, to start with the young and teach the young that beauty comes from the soul and the body is a shell. That is the ideal of course. It is to be worked for.

If a person is repeatedly rejected by others the time has come for that person to examine themselves to see what the reason(s) could be and if they can do anything to change the situation.
But that takes hard work, and it is easier to turn to ASK MEN etc. than to actually study the situation from inside out.

that chicks are rude self-centered and bitchy is fine by me. i know what i want and will get to it. chicks ought to be no different.

there are about 2 billion women out there and most of them got laid in the last month. for some guys to whine about not getting any is, well, whiny. no wonder they were cut out of the action. strap your balls on boys and show a girl you care.
