"Wasn't a neg when you try and breakdown a woman with high self-esteem?"

That is what it sounded like to me.  I still don't understand why that is a good thing to do.  As stated, it seems really rude.

@Panda No, its to bring down perceived value equal during the interaction. Like I said, I don’t feel the need to do it very often.....really insecure guys do it a lot in field. I would just rather be flirty and playful.

@Utah and Panda, I am already socialized, I find stong-willed women attractive, so shit test really aren't anything to me. Matter-of-fact my office is filled with them, and for months when I got here they threw everything at me. I just played around with them, and now, they have stopped with the shit-tests and having just started walking up and punching me, or pinching me, or grabbing me and wrestling around and such, kind of hilairious. 

Side note- we should just start a PUA thread and stop taking over Desdemonas haha

I don't know about that.  Eventually Alien will show up and start seducing Diaz in a more effective way.  Then the rest of us will probably feel bad.

Oh, Averydoll, you're rejoinging the conversation? LOL

Yeah, just happened, she came up behind, grabbed me around the chest and started trying to wrestle, IN THE OFFICE. I told her: "Whoa, that'll be fifty dollars. I don't give this away (motioning to me) for free." to which she punched me. 

 

Also, I am listening to Sarah Mclachlan- Angel just came on and all I could think about was those sad commercials she does with the animals. SHE RUINED IT!

You like to be in control don't you? And, its not needy, nothing wrong with joking around and having  fun....as long as there are limits. 

Also, speaking of PUA- "Where have all the cowboys gone" just started playing...ironic?

Yes.

"....as long as there are limits. "

And, wrestling is my limit, apparently.  Although I do usually find I have better luck getting nice things from my male co-workers, I don't have to rub up against them to get them.

Ha! What a heartbreaker. I suppose my limit is different. I guess I am a little more open minded. Though if I were involved with someone it would be a little different I reckon.

@Panda - I don't know what you mean by feminist.  I beleive that women should have equal rights to men, and that we should have ownership and control over our own bodies.  I'm generally against rape.  But I don't sit around all day trying to think up schemes to dominate the world. 

@Desdemona - I'm going to welcome you again, because I'm glad you posted again.  Welcome!!

I was just asking about the feminism thing. I have two friends who are somew
hat feminists. So I see them post a lot of feminism pictures and events. Not that you do that, but you remind me of both of them. I was just curious.

I'm just gonna look weird now.

avery of the dead's picture
avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters February 21, 2012 - 7:41pm

I'm going to allow you to look weird.  I guess I don't know what people mean when they say feminist most of the time.  There are a lot of assumptions that go with that.  I don't hate anyone else - at least not strictly because of their gender.  I love men.  I don't think women are superior to men.  I think the world needs each of us, for more than just the obvious.  But I don't think women are any less than men.
