Yeah, there's generally a grain of truth in some of their points. But if you read whatever paper they source you'll find that 99% of the time they are exaggerating the claims. Sometimes you'll see them just totally misunderstand the paper.

Sometimes they'll do that intentionally for the humor or to fill out a list.
 
Wow, I can not tell you about him, but I certainly would. It's selfish but one has to look for himself.
I know you do a background check on all the women you hit on.
Yes, if Heidi Klume had a palpitating heart that, statistically speaking means she would lose X years of her life, you wouldn't be interested.
Well thank god my wife loves me despite having asthma. She decided to not look out for herself there huh? Yep. Stay single gaf.

Again, if you're not interested in big women, that's fine, but it's not health related. It's visual, not how-long-can-one-last-on-the-stair-master wise or life expectancy. Last I checked "the female softball player" and the "female basketball player" look isn't attractive sexually, nor is the body builder or etc despite the fact that they could run circles around 99% of all men in the world and will outlive us by a significant margin.
Bigger women don't meet the modern standards for femininity and these days men respond to femininity - things like slenderness, flowing hair, soft skin, big eyes and feminine curvature (hips to waist ratio and boobs etc.)

Oh and women live 10 years longer than men on average. If they're doing something in their lives that takes 10 years off on average, then they're just meeting us.

I'm not putting myself in his place. I don't hit on fat women because I don't find them attractive, as simple as that. It's just that I wouldn't hit on a model knowing she has heart issues because I do not want the memory of a woman dying while we're at it burned in my brain. Would ruin anyone's sex life forever.

And by the way, there's something else to take into consideration when you discuss about that. It's not the same a curvaceous woman, an overweight woman or an obese woman.

And I'm done here. Shopping, meh :(
 
It's not. I wish both sides would just cut the bullshit and just admit they're not interested though.

It's kinda like those girls who say humor is most important in a guy. Most of the time that only counts if the funny guy looks like Brad Pitt or something.

No, humor and wittiness are really fucking important. Attractive guys simply tend to be more confident. Just don't expect us to go after the creepy guy who thinks he's funny.

People are shallow, big news. It's like some believe wimminz are mythological creatures.

I fear for those who think lenght is such a big deal

I've only met a few woman who like the look of dicks though. I wonder if that's just because dicks are uggo. Most straight women seem 'eh' about it, it's only girls I've actually dated who talk about dicks being beautiful, which probably says something about the sort of girls I date :p.
 
whats average "girth" in inches? what would be a decent number for example (assuming you use a tape measure and just wrap it around the shaft).

The GAF average is 8 inches around.

Strange, but true.

Or they've actually seen enough to start to have preferences.

I just thought - maybe it's just that the girls who tell me about the good lookingness of dicks are comfortable enough with me to talk about it (dating me) and the girls who don't maybe think there is a stigma attached to it?

There's a stigma attached to us talking openly about sex and all that it entails in general. Talking about dick preferences can also make us seem like "shallow slutty bitches" despite you know men talking openly about tits.
 
While I doubt that men are more shallow than women, this is a pretty shit article.

"The Color Red"?

REALLY?


1 reason why women are as shallow as men and vice versa:

Shallow people are shallow.

News at 11.

Pretty much.

Hey I got some more ideas for them:

Why black people are just as racist as white people.
Why nerds are as conformist as jocks.
Why other countries are as arrogant as America.

I'm on fire!

Let me just leave this clear: unless it is a extreme, either in length or girth, she's not gonna care.

Yeah, people give you bad looks when you talk about how you like dem dicks.
 
Protip: People in general are shallow.

Women and men, on the whole, are both shallow. They're also both dogs.

My mother and sister both called me shallow for not dating a fat girl. If that's shallow, I'll wear that trait like a medal upon my chest.

Sucks to be you. I used to think it was because girls didn't want to risk hurting the feelings of their male friends by bringing up dicks - cause us guys are pretty self conscious about them.

Well there's that, hence the defensiveness when we do talk about them. It's just another unfair aspect of how the sexual/visual objectification of us is commonplace and accepted, but we mention preferences and it's taken personally.

money alone is never enough to keep a woman, you gotta have some other things to keep a woman's attention.

#1 - There are thousands of other guys with money, so really it's not a big deal that you have money.

#2 If she's only with you for money, you are very prone to her having other dudes on the side that actually know how to attract her naturally.

Why, you ask? I made a statement about women not enjoying male strippers as much as males enjoy female strippers, and I realize that this is where I got it from. So I decided to share the whole article. Enjoy, criticize, whatever.

I thought that girls going on bachelor parties and sucking stripper's cocks was all the rage these days? Internet porn ads keep lying to me.

When did this happen? Unless you're talking like professional leagues or something- but girls my age that play basketball/softball? We in there all day.

Well even though I look down upon men who talk that way about tits, a woman's breast can be enlarged via cosmetic surgery. A man's penis has no such procedure approved by the medical community. You're pretty much screwed and can do nothing about it, which is what makes dick-bashing worse.

"Dick-bashing"?

No. A guy can tell other guy how he likes someone else's tits and nothing bad happens. A girl tells another girl how she likes dicks and "slut!" And "Not such a big deal cuz you can get them changed?" Yeah, that definitely makes us feel better.

Dicks are a much bigger deal to guys than girls. We usually care little as long as it's functional. Yet guys will jump in defense mode the moment they perceive their dicks aren't perfect. See: all the circumcision threads in GAF.

I guess I'm fucked then, because I have no wit whatsoever.

Well if you're fucked without it then you didn't really need it in the first place, did you?

whats average "girth" in inches? what would be a decent number for example (assuming you use a tape measure and just wrap it around the shaft).

first of all tape measures are cold and sharp. Use a piece of string and then mark the crossover point. Also then you don't have to think about that tape measure that touched your junk.

I assume that's different though. It's not about the physical appearance, but instead an unhappiness with the fact that a horrible choice was made for absolutely no reason before the guy had any chance to have an opinion on it.

In Eritrea, I think they sometimes remove the clitoris so women do not feel sexual pleasure. Circumcision is like a mild form of that horrible practice but since it's in our culture, we don't question its barbaric nature enough.

Mainly it's us guys getting defensive and feeling threatened, then lashing out. Pure salt. It's pretty funny when it's someone who isn't me.

You sort of are proving her point like right off the bat haha :p. You asked most circumcised or uncircmcised guys if they want the opposite for their dick, and they'll honestly say no - because they like their dicks.

There are multiple forms of female circumcision - in fact, some forms increase a females ability to feel/enjoy sexual intercourse. And the bad kind usually happens in Somalia I think?

I agree with the circumcision thread comments, it's REALLY not as big of a deal as people make it out to be, all things considered - both ways (circumcised or not circumcised) - but people argue over it with such absolute passion because it's about dicks.

Judging from the women I know in my town, most are shallow as fuck and somehow think that they're entitled to have the guy of their dreams even if they're not a looker or even not a nice person. Guys in my area just seem to be happy to be getting sex on a regular basis.

On top of that the woman at work often complain about how there isn't enough good looking guys in the building.....and yet no guy there would ever want any of them. Hell one of them is probably damn near 300 lbs and looks like shrek. Yeah we could hire 100 of the best looking guys in the area but not one of them would ever look twice at you miss.

Just my own personal observations.

I fail to see what you're getting at. I haven't asked most circumcised/uncircumcised guys if they want the opposite and neither has anyone here. My point was that a guy who is upset about his circumcision could have nothing to do with superficiality. If you don't feel it's a big deal that parents make a terrible and barbaric choice, that's fine. I do. That has nothing to do with some superficial feeling about my dick, though.

Whether a girl likes or dislikes the looks of my dick has nothing to do with the point I was getting at and I have no idea why you think I proved another completely unrelated point with that post.

You are continuing to make her point - circumcision is really not that big of a deal - being circumcised or not circumcised isn't dramatically dangerous either way - and aesthetically, guys probably care about it more than girls.

You in particular are talking about these 'upset circumcision guys' like it's just the ones who are cut - it's both kinds of guys - guys who are and aren't cut - the idea that their dick is not at the ideal state is upsetting to them. The idea that someone can look at their dick and say it's 'mutilated' or it's 'ugly' frustrates them. The fact that you are focusing on the cut ones when replying to her point only highlights that you are looking at this through your own tunnel vision - like our circumcision thread isn't filled with cut and uncut guys throwing inflammatory comments at each other.

Basically, we make our dicks out to be a HUGE deal, when they really aren't as big of a deal as we like to think.

I guess but you don't see us doing the same. And "but you can get implants" really isn't the reason why.

I've been told I have quite an amazing penis (by numerous women and men), so I feel a sense of superiority almost all the time now.

Pretty much. I was just quoting the circumcision thread as an example of guys needing to prove their dick is the most alpha male-ish in town. You could easily get the point either way just with the guy I first quoted, talking about dicks is a big deal and "dick bashing", talking about tits isn't because "Eh, they can be fixed".

What I'm trying to say is, we like to talk about dicks and stuff, but seriously, unless we're talking about something extraordinarie or pretty fucking weird, we don't care all that much. But guys get really defensive, and in general girls who talk about sexual stuff are seen as sluts, and there you have why most girls just won't talk to any guy about this.
 
Well there's that, hence the defensiveness when we do talk about them. It's just another unfair aspect of how the sexual/visual objectification of us is commonplace and accepted, but we mention preferences and it's taken personally.
wait, what

also, i didn't realize that anyone in the circumcision threads in GAF was being serious.
 
Hope I don't offend any ladies here but I love girls with "slutty" personalities. Find it sexy even. Slutty chicks have more confidence and are generally more outgoing in my experiences. I enjoy that. It's how I live my life so I like it when girls are bragging about they're night backstage with Shwayzee because I brag about cougars spending their divorcees money buying me drinks.

Maybe, if you like them so much, you should consider refraining from calling them slutty.

Most of the time that only counts if the funny guy looks like Brad Pitt or something.

I've seen some below average looking dudes with girlfriends a couple of grades (physically) above their level just because they're extremely outgoing and funny

Fuck political correctness. And what does it matter if I'm encouraging their promiscuous behavior anyway? It's not like I will call them a slut to their face. That's just disrespectful.
 
Protip: People in general are shallow.

This.


Got a mate like this, he weighs 150kg - big boy, and wonders why he can't get girls. He literally only approaches hot girls, or attractive, small girls. He turns his nose up and gives other mates shit for the 'average' girls they pick up, yet complains and whinges about why he cannot get a girl at all. It's so fucking annoying to hear it all the time. I tell him "Dude, you need to lower your standards", but he just won't.

Yeah, I know people like that. You try and introduce them to nice girls with similar interests etc, only to get the response "ew, that's bottom of the barrel shit". I wonder why you have problems with that attitude =/
