Men wot pretend to be all sympathetic to women's needs - classic or dud

bad time to be sympathising/looking for a shag then?

It did 'work' for him but I don't think the book made any difference.

Emma gets really bad period pains and normally uses a hotwaterbottle to help ease them. So, for her birthday I bought her one of these, and now all her friends think I am the sweetest, most caring boyfriend in the world evah.

U're only doin it to get a shag mate. At least own up.

I'll own up, I guess, sort of. I'm doing it to get a shag, and then after a few shags I'm doing it to be genuinely considerate, and a month later I horrifyingly find myself being sympathetic because I'm (gasp!) actually feeling sympathetic. This is how women hook you, and it's a beautiful thing.

Course, what about the .05% that are actually sympathetic?

Like okay take calz -- is he ever gonna actually be considerate towards women and understand them one bit (or okay men too mainly or er, anything?)? But if he could just *act* like he wasn't such a prick then everyone's live would be easier.

The whole premise of the thread is "yeah we're men, we're pigs, fuck pc let it all hang out." which is of course all the words aspects of laddism rolled up.

1: Live several thousand miles across the ocean. That's alright. I know how to swim.

2: Already have a husband. An extra husband's always good to have around, esp. if you want jars opened and dead rats disposed of.

To get serious for a bit, I've always thought of attitudes expressed in Spooner's post to be proof that childish unearned cynicism is the most pathetic emotion of all.

Geek: 6.8

A new record?

He's strict because he cares.

This board is getting even with me for the sins of my youth. Before I met ILE, I used to be weak and given to mistreatin' message boards.

I think I'm pretty good at telling when people are being disingenuous.

You wouldn't pretend to be sympathetic, would you, spoonered?

Yup.

I really need an irony detector.

I find it quite insensitive that women are so ready to denigrate a man's need for a shag.

Dud. Judging by the smeary responses, it seems like Spoonered’s remark hit too close to home for some posters’ comfort. I mean, what to make of this lazy, misandrist assumption:

There are people like this, and obviously they are utterly dud. There are also people who assume that anyone who acts as if they actually like women and care how they feel can only possibly be dishonest and trying to get laid. These people hate women, so can’t conceive that some men do like many women.

It’s like telling an imam that he hates Christians just because he doesn’t believe in God Almighty. Me? I’m a straight shooting, no-nonsense, what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of guy.

you, sir, are a master ironist.

I'm so good at pretending to be sympathetic to women's needs that I got married. Little does she know it's all just for shags.

I DO care, in my way. I have this...thing...for crying women.

Jeb who was your favourite band out of Sleeper and Echobelly?

"dud - I'm not stupid."

"dud - I'm not stupid." "classic. you're all stupid."

Dud. Used to be known as 'feminist for fucks'. Time for a revive?

I've done cunnilingus and/or a handjob several times, to make my girlfriend come even if I didn't. Am I a pretender?
