The truth about women & hang-ups

Recommended Posts

Hello Scott,
I've met you in person at our old DZ. I have to be honest that I had heard things about you back then, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt as a person. I even stuck up for you socially back then...although you don't know that. You seemed decent enough, just a little bit of a social misfit at times. Furthermore, I don't like to treat people differently just because they don't fit in.

Scott, your posts have me concerned about what your mindset may be towards women. Do you really believe what you've posted? How can you have these thoughts about all women? What about your mother, sister (if you have one) or female friends?

No matter what your attitude...no matter what you think, it is harmful, when you make sweeping generalizations about a group of people. Period. Isn't it only fair to give other people (even people of a different gender, race, culture, religion) the benefit of the doubt? Don't be one of those hateful people, Scott. Please think about what I'm saying as a possible alternative towards how you feel about women and people, in general.

By making sweeping negative generalizations and assuming the worst of people, you lose credit as a person. By giving others a chance to be respected, you give yourself a chance to be respected.

Rosa,

I hope you don’t think I’m talking about you in this thread. It was kind of a joke that backfired. I’m sorry if you are taking my words seriously or if I made you angry.

The fact that you defended me in Taft made you the exception, rather than the rule.

For what it’s worth, I appreciate you looking out for me back then. There are some great people up in Taft that made me a part of their family and I miss them. Sorry if you had to take a lot of grief on my behalf.

Hey Scott, I guess that I am surprised at what you write in your posts. It's not the kind of person that I would have thought that you could be. I'm glad that this thread was not to be taken seriously.

Don't worry about the stuff at Taft. That's not a big deal. I like to give everyone a fair chance, even if I didn't know you too well. It's a shame that Taft did close down back then, but I love that I've gone to many DZs and met lots of great people, since then.

Anyway, if you remember to give people the benefit of the doubt, it will make life better for you, I promise. Take care, Scott. :)

Hang-up)
When I’m sitting in a fast food chain, I’ll see a cute girl come in and place her order to go. I guess girls have some hang up about sitting alone to eat.

(Truth)
They probably can’t eat at the restaurant because it would allow too much time for assholes who think they've got a chance to come bother them while they're trying to enjoy dinner.

Fixed it for ya.

After claiming that your initial remarks were a backfired joke, you went on to reinforce your previously stated attitudes by indicating that you believe a woman that is kind and caring is the exception.

While clearly exceptional, Rosa is not the exception, she is the rule.

The fact that she took the time to post a caring message to someone that expresses attitudes such as yours in public puts her even ahead of most, but even so, almost all of the women I have known in my life are wonderful people.

While I'm sure the kind of women that you are talking about DO in fact exist, its is they who are the exception. They are the minority in my experience.

On the other hand, its is people like yourself that give rise to the negative stereotypes about men.

Do something, man, cuz you cant be a happy person believing the things you believe and it would be a real shame to spend the rest of your life stuck in that miserable mindset.

I think that’s reading into it a bit much. It’s funny how people still think I was this anti social misfit up in Taft. As honest as I am about my feelings I can truthfully say that I don’t hate anyone that jumped at AAW or Skydive Taft.

I was just your typical no-jump wonder know it all. There wasn’t anything more dramatic about it.

When I said she was the exception, I meant that most people, man or women usually just go along to stir shit when others aren’t around.

As far as my initial post, I felt it was really obvious that I was being facetious since I basically admitted to being a total loser who couldn’t find a girlfriend. I mean that’s a pretty big insult to myself, but even I can laugh at my own misfortunes. I’m not as big of a hard ass as people think I am, but like you, I am very tactless and blunt when giving advice or responding to things I don’t like.

As far as making men look bad, have you read the shit women post about us? Read the 2 threads that I responded to. What’s fair about calling all men “sick & perverted” or that we like to be “mistreated by a total bitch”?

Women are not morally superior to us.

They can inflict as much emotional pain as any man can inflict on a women, however, they are much better looking than us, smell better and are capable of being the sweetest and most nurturing creatures on earth, when they want to be.

Hey Scott


I took your post as more tongue in cheek. I thought it was kinda cute, but that was because I didn't really think you were serious in the "truth" portion. Thus my reply at the beginning of this thread reflecting how some beliefs and insecurities might just be situations that aren't well understood. Since then, though, it seems that some may have taken your comments as more literal or reflections of your respect for women in general.


I am amused, however by the drama that it all caused.
