I think this is only true to an extent.Either I do me what she wants for her, or I can't do me what I want to her.
But then why do some girls flock to guys that pay them little attention? Like the typical ladies man or even the bad boy types?

It's a fine line twixt being attentive, and being underfoot.But then why do some girls flock to guys that pay them little attention?
There's a saying, "A lady in the street, a whore beneath the sheets."Like the typical ladies man or even the bad boy types?
There's probably a better way to word that without the slut-shaming, which I hope was unintentional.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 7:55 amThere's a saying, "A lady in the street, a whore beneath the sheets."
I wasn't shaming on her, I was bragging on her!Difflugia wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:31 amThere's probably a better way to word that without the slut-shaming, which I hope was unintentional.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 7:55 amThere's a saying, "A lady in the street, a whore beneath the sheets."
That's true. It can't always avoid it. Most often, though, it can.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:44 amAt some point language - accurate language - can't always avoid being offensive to one bunch or another.
"A lady in the streets, her hypersexualized alter ego beneath the sheets" just doesn't quite tell it.Difflugia wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:55 amThat's true. It can't always avoid it.

Lots of epithets are, like "whore" and "slut," pejorative as well as (perhaps) accurate. If your intention is positive, I'd bet that there's equally accurate, but positive language from which you could choose.
To be fair, that's exactly why I called attention to your post in particular. "One of us" and all that.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 9:09 amI trust those who know me here see that a little picking fun ain't an entire ideology.
"Girls?" I thought you were asking about women? Perhaps you don't recognize the difference. In any case, what women like is as varied as the number of women that there are. Creating stereotypes is most unproductive and in this case perhaps sexist.AgnosticBoy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 8:43 pm On another thread someone said the following,I think this is only true to an extent.Either I do me what she wants for her, or I can't do me what I want to her.

When is the last time you looked up the word "girl"? Hopefully not in grade school because the meaning has changed or expanded.
If that were the case then we would not be able to find patterns in women's behavior. However, we are able to find patterns among women, on average. Of course, I'm aware that there can be exceptions to the rule or individual differences so I'm not expecting some absolute standard for girls.
Sexist? Not at all. Maybe ageism since I'm referring mostly to young women.
