"How Desperate Housewives Is Castrating Us All" (a bit of humor and a bit of truth)

[mrsmiawallace]

Well then I'd say you're a lucky woman, and very rare to have both worlds. The beemer isn't always the thing but I bet that white collar didn't hurt any.

Well, he wasn't white collar when I met him. We were so fucking poor our first couple of years together, but we worked hard to do better.

 

[Weevil]

Poor Weevil, you've spent all your life as an abject manservant and all you got out of it was some doctor snipping your kibbles and bits. How does it feel to be a dickless loser? Those of us on the other side of the tracks desperately want to know.

What's really sad is that we've done this, like dozens of times, and this is the only game you have. Well, this and changing what I write in the quote fields. I mean, I get PM's from all sorts of people telling me to put you on ignore as so many rational people have done and I'm starting to consider it.

Not because you're a sad, obnoxious moron but because you're a sad, obnoxious moron who doesn't even bring a decent amount of variety to the table.

But i'm holding out hope for you Buddy. One of these days you'll be a sad, obnoxious moron who adds a little fun to the mix.

See, that was kind of...superior. You look down on people who watch TV. It's no different than being "lumped" in front of the monitor. Mindless entertainment is mindless entertainment. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing different either.

Why are you on my case?

I already explained my position on this. I'm the lump! It's all about me!

I don't like it when I watch TV; I've my own issues with it. I don't feel so great about spending a lot of time in front of the computer, but I at least find it to be slightly more stimulating than my tv-watching experiences would be.

 

[Weevil]

Well I also emphasized in later posts that iI too saw it as merely an example but an example (miawallace's) that I found perfectly acceptable unlike the one in the article. I never thought that reading "Wuthering Heights" was specifcally referring to Bronte sisters collective works, merely an example of classic literature; and to go slightly off track I see nothing wrong in expecting one's partner (man or woman) to be academically accomplished but then that's a personal preference and the issue is more about how many ideals women expect in their potential mate and what are "deal breakers".

I don't see my identification of the difference between her SO and the example placed in the article as being the same which is why I don't think hers illustrates the points in the article. That is why I highlighted it because IMO the article was making a glaringly obvious point and not worth much comment.

If you wish for arguments to stay within your control I suggest conducting discussions with yourself. That way you won't have to resort to snide insults when you're confronted with disagreement.

Ugh, it's like going twelve rounds with a brick wall but without the pretty ring girls.

look, mrsmiawallace, and in fact all of us were talking about the point being made by the article. The example being made in the article is even then one extrapolating on a larger social trend, some girls might not have any Jimmy Choo or Blahnik shoes but some other ridiculously overpriced designer. That doesn't render the point moot. The author was stretching the general point to humourous extremes to get his point across.

We were discussing that, not specifics about which books boyfriends should be reading. mrsmiawallace, who I'm sure is a very nice person, is not everyone. This is about society at large and the general, and increasing pressures on men.

Again this is about the prevailing social trend. You chose to nitpick the two examples I pulled out of my ass.

I don't need to obsessively control discussions, I just have a serious problem slowing down the pace of them for every two bit idiot who wants to talk about how good she's getting at automotive repair.

i have never watched this show and of course because it SUCKS ASS

You were using her post to support the idea of the ongoing social trend pertaining to men and their role in relationships blah blah etc. I don't think that it does, which is why I chose to nitpick it. If you're going to elaborate on bigger issues, I'd like the building block of small throwaway examples to be relevant.

I don't think that choosing another brand of ridiculously overpriced shoes renders the point moot at all. What would render the point moot is if another woman made absolutely no reference to any sort of over-priced luxury goods whether it be shoes, clothes etc. I can't say that I know why you mentioned this as I strayed from my pedantic path to emphasize that her example of books in the larger picture could mean any example of intellectual curiousity.

I only mentioned that automative repair in one post. I suppose you're stretching now.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

What's really sad is that we've done this, like dozens of times, and this is the only game you have.

I'll change the game when you stop losing so badly. Or when you start getting laid.

Well, this and changing what I write in the quote fields. I mean, I get PM's from all sorts of people telling me to put you on ignore as so many rational people have done and I'm starting to consider it.

You'll never put me on ignore because the agony of my boot colliding with your soft ego forces you to come back at me time and again in some faint hope that you might prove yourself not to be my kicktoy whipping boy.

You'll never put me on ignore because my mere presence makes you hate your own your life of self-emasculation and it forces you to ask why it is that you couldn't get laid no matter how much money you paid, or how much you groveled. Deep down you realize that you made a mistake getting your nads snipped off.

But you won't admit it, instead you'll continue on forever like a broken record claiming I can't get laid and I can't possibly be engaged to a real woman. Please, by all means, say it again; that'll salve your ego at least for another 5 minutes or so.

Ok. Didn't think I was on your case. You're the lump. Got it.

Yes but keep in mind her post was in response to Stingrays which was in response to, again the original article being discussed.

You can't just take one of the posts and look at it in isolation. Well, I mean I guess you can because you don't have a problem with sounding like a moron.

And it was pretty stupid then. Thanks for playing though.

And I wouldn't have commented on it if you hadn't come in and made that particular point.

I actually took about three posts (two of yours and one of hers) which was to illustrate the point ray was making about the improbably expecations of men in today's society. To be pedantic.

(This could go on forever... )

 

[Weevil]

And this is what is so pathetic. You think these lame, junior high level insults you can throw out there really make you look like the man. Dude, everyone thinks you're a great big douchebag.

I'm just losing my enthusiasm for doing this. Eventually even I get tired of a punching bag.

No, it can't.

I agree. That kinda stuff is so next year's material for a guy like you.

 

[BBWetKitty]

........ and cheerily announced, "Rex cries after he ejaculates."

Well, thats certainly more interesting than if she would have said He rolls over and passes out.

Reality bites.

 

[Weevil]

I agree. That kinda stuff is so next year's material for a guy like you.

Ooh, good one. By the 1,000 variation on that one you might have it so people don't see you for the pathetic little loser you are.

Although everyone's mind is already made up on that one so it'll just be you and the newbs.

 

[Olivianna]

Ok. Didn't think I was on your case.

R-i-i-ght.

 

[Adrenaline]

No, it can't.

That was "said" kinda tongue in cheek...I suppose you were too busy thinking about social trends. No worries man, I got your back.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Translation: Adrenaline is way too much for you to handle by yourself, it's best to declare victory now so you can return to buying used panties off ebay.

Desiring a man who reads but perhaps can fix a leaky pipe or two is wanting everything? So basically, I'll either have to go with a dewy e.e. cummings fan or a hard-working blue collar man who thinks that books are just for school?

Goodness who knew that men were so one-dimensional.

oh yeah, guys must be the ones going for breast implants and wearing fake nails The article is dead on. Women want women, not men. Accept biology and stop demanding perfection incarnate.

 

[Weevil]

That was "said" kinda tongue in cheek.

Yeah, that really wasn't obvious enough with your huse of the helpful green emoticon.

It was just a quick and relatively polite way of letting you know I was done with banging my head against the brick wall that is you. Being as you didn't get that and decided to give it another go, I thought I'd spell it out word for word as that is, I guess, the only way you can understand something.

Honestly, man. You should just code your responses instead of going through the trouble of typing out those words. You could just write Response A and Response B. Then I can ignore them a little easier.

 

[Killswitch]

I'm TVless, too, and love it.

What a nerd.

lol

You must be joking.

 

[Killswitch]

Most people who don't own TV's seem to think of it as some badge of intelligence when really, all it means it you don't own a TV.

agreed.
