^^ Yes I agree that sometimes women go overboard, men do too, but I was just taking Barbiecue's side as me being an "oldie" on GS, I can confidently say that she's one of the most respectful girls around and her joke was taken in the wrong way.
I don’t see anything wrong with your posts when the article which is the basis of this thread is calling women btches and suts. Your posts were clearly a joke.
Changing topic - found a minor inconsistency in one of the posts - if * is used for one letterccan it be used foranother letter also. In a related issue - should vowels and consonants have different symbols to represent them.
I read the article and thought how incredibly right she was in her insight ... However, to answer why she herself has not been successful may be for one of two reasons.
A) she has only just come to realise these things through a life of experience
B) she has used her insight to get the man she wanted through pretending to be like the woman she describes in her article, but never actually letting go herself in a true enough manner ... meaning that the men she married we're not the right stuff, but she managed to convince them that they had to marry her, but there requires additional factors in marriage that are needed for it to last ... and divorce gets easier each time it is done ...
Ok so don't shoot me but I kind of agree with the author. Only because I have a friend who is Pakistani and she's #1, #2 and #3 at the very least and then wonders why she can't get married, no guy wants to be with her and when she gets a rishta she always judges him like she was just crowned Miss World. They run after seeing trait #1.
Marriage should be about sharing, and should be a partnership between two friends. There is no room for ego in all that.
I've begun to approach rishtas very differently. If I can talk to the guy, and just become friends with him, it moves on. If I talk to him, and say, ok, I really don't want to have a close friendship with them, then goodbye.
I have quit looking at appearance, wealth, and education at this point. Guys who have all this sometimes are the worst people.
Hating Sarah Palin and the military-industrial-complex makes you a biatch.
Say whaaaaa?
Ok, it makes sense now. If you express strong opinions about climate change or corporate lobbying, a man will soil himself out of fear because you're "not being nice to him." The answer, girlfriend, is adopting the appeal of - wait for it - Kim Kardashian! So toss that copy of Foreign Affairs and learn to smile, wiggle and make a sex tape.

Genius.
I want both, is that too much to ask? Jedi in the streets, Sith in the sheets.

PCG, how could you!!!!
You know, you're not supposed to actually like or want to be with your husband. Any guy will do and actually expecting to like your husband is being too demanding. Tsk, tsk! Have you learned nothing ?!?
