    -Generalisation of men e.g. Men have it easy thread
    -No compassion towards fairness be it money issues
    -Take feminism over the top where it's less about equality and more about getting one over the men...
    -legal standing annoys me given the whole equality issue. Though I need to check this to make sure it's correct.
    -complaining about being with douchebags and saying why there are no nice guys despite you ignoring said nice guys... Hence all the memes...
    -Friend zone or worst of all...the dreaded Bro zone...


    Before I get grilled...Some of these are merely individual character flaws rather than sex based (not meant to be a generalisation of women) however. Doubt you'll get a trait that all women have that is annoying. Vice versa

    Clearly people don't seem to comprehend the stereotype nature of the thread.
    Quote me then...

    True that.

    I think my serious answer would be as bad for boys as girls, in that they fit stereotypes very well. Either by society or nature, I know very few female engineers, very few female physicists, very few female *electricians. Its a shame people fall in to roles society defines for them.

    Although in the same way, I know very few male art/design students, very few male nurses, and very few male literature students.

    *(although I only know one)

    EDIT: I just realised SmallTownGirl is a female physicist, so I'l just crawl in to a hole and die now, since I've disproven myself.

    What's wrong with being curvy ? Being curvy doesn't mean you are "obese"
    Everyone has their preferences but you shouldn't rule out someone due to body shapes because you could be missing out on a really good potential match
    Good match or not you can't be in a relationship with someone you don't find attractive. If a fat or curvy girl has a a really nice personality and we get on well (I have a few friends who fit in this category) we'll just be good friends because I simply don't find overweight women attractive.

    It's common knowledge women are less visually stimulated by the other sex compared to men and instead rely on personality and what not. What they define as attractive extends far beyond a man's visual appearance, that's the reason you see so many stunning women with ugly as hell men nowadays. For men, despite what they say, if a women doesn't fit into what they would categorise as visually attractive e.g. body shape despite personality it's a no deal.

    This is true, but what can be annoying with women is when they look down upon men's (biologically hard-wired) sexual preferences in a way that men rarely do. To hear a woman say 'all men think about is sex' is not uncommon but if you heard a man saying 'all women think about is a man's personality' would be fairly unusual.

    Thats slightly upsetting but I guess you're right

    Attractiveness is subjective though so , what one person finds is attrative, another might not think so.

    Do you ever think a guy could grow to find some attractive ? Like when they first meet they didn't think they were that attractive but as they get to know them, they become more beautiful in their eyes ?

    I've had this experience before

    Yes you're right. Like in my example I don't find overweight women attractive but my friend, he loves them! I think it's down to differences in lifestyle as well, I'm an active guy and go to the gym regularly so I think that influences who I find attractive.

    Yes but only if you found them visually attractive in the first place. I don't think it's possible with a women who you would consider ugly. I have experienced it as well, I found the girl visually attractive but as I goy to know her it became more than just "she's good looking". That wouldn't of happened if I didn't think she was good looking to begin with, it would of been she's a nice person and that would be the end of it.

    That yes means no.
    Girls who think boys want sex all the time, and if you don't, you must not find them attractive.
    Girls who think boys can get an erection at the snap of the finger.
    this is spot on

    i dont want sex all the time, sometimes he needs a rest y'know!

    and yeh the erection thing, she grabs it to stick it in there and its all flaccid and im like gurrl i just gave you lovin' 5 minutes ago!

    Thread encouraging stereotypes will not end well

    But I might as well join in.
    Many girls like to talk on the phone for way too long. I can take 5 minutes max before it gets irritating. Luckily my friends know I hate talking on the phone for too long so it's kept to a minimum

    Girls find it out of order when males make a sexist comment and then they think its ok to make a sexist comment about males... I swear if I find another one that does that I will rip out their tongue.
    Oh they take sexism a bit too seriously, men just don't care but when women get hypocritical :mad:
