@COD:S I know you were kidding but it still was nice to contemplate just the idea of all women being repulsed by men and thus they would not want to copulate with one or even risk bearing one even by using a “turkey baster”. Just as an idea, it would be so nice if all reproduction stopped for whatever reason because then all child abuse, in all of it’s forms, would stop in about say 18 years from then. I know it is pure mind candy but it would be so nice for all worldly human suffering to come to an end. If men were sorely demeaned in the process that would be a small price to pay. Ok, I’m done dreaming…
Humans would cease. That would be great. No more wars, no more pollution, no more corruption keeping billions of people in poverty or near poverty, etc. No humans = Peace at last.
@eternaldarkness Agreed. Too bad. The suffering just has to go on. Every prospective mother who expresses the desire to reproduce starts her sentence with “I want…” without ever considering what awaits her little bundle of joy. If I were type out just the usual perils it could go on for pages.
Men often like to fix things. If it’s a complicated emotional issue he can’t fix, he might feel bad about it and distance himself or avoid you instead of having to feel like he’s inadequate.
People as a whole prefer being around others when they AREN’T miserable, and guys often see women as “moody,” so to them, it means your mood will pass and soon you’ll go back to being fun and cheerful.
Yeah, some guys might hug you or ask you to tell them about what’s wrong… but that’s pretty rare. If you want comfort and someone to listen, go find a female friend when you experience these kinds of situations. Your boyfriend or whatever can be there for you to have fun with, just don’t rely on him for emotional support.
True, we men often wear the Mr. Fixit hat, even when we absolutely should not. A depressed female does seem like a situation that is simply impossible for us to fix, or at least any attempted fix is going to do no good at all. Unless the male in the situation also happens to be her therapist it is impossible for the male to fix. For many years I maintained a friendship with a depression prone female and naively thought her dark moods and unpredictable behavior where some how just intentional assholery. I could not have been more wrong. But if I was this naive, I bet plenty of other people are too. The kicker is, I was as prone to depression as she but had such an exciting lifestyle back then that I was unaware of how desperate my mental condition was.
I know that feeling, someone I love died a few days ago and everyone was telling me “don’t cry” “don’t feel sad” “stop thinking about it” “you have to move on”. But I can’t, it hurts so much and people are of no help when they tell you to stop. It’s ok to feel sad, it’s really bad for your health when you try to suppress it.
wow, people are telling you that after only a few days?
if you cry after someone dies and can’t move on = there is something wrong with you
if you don’t cry after someone dies and moves right on = nothing wrong with you.
Uh…that 2nd case is what psychopaths are- those who kill and have no emotions. It’s normal to feel very emotional after a death. It would not be normal if you didn’t.

I’m sorry. Males are disgusting, if only all woman could see this
If all women could see this and reproduction dropped off drastically as a result, the human race would start grinding to a halt. Oh darn…
I was kidding 🙂

Too bad that’ll never happen. Humans breed like cockroaches.

Tell him to “stop being stupid.”
Ha! I like this.
Sounds like you are going to have to get through to him. Or else find a more sensitive man.
Some guys understand
Well this guy sounds great…. Uh, not.

Women just want to be loved, comforted, hugged, and listened to. That’s all a guy has to do. But instead, he tries to “fix” it and makes it way worse.
@eternaldarkness I so agree. Pay attention boys!
