I don't get the anger at being "beaten by a girl" either, though it has never happened to me...in a videogame...mostly because all the girl gamers I know don't like action games.

simply put it's an affront to their manhood and masculinity and makes them feel emasculated

Heh. I don't give anybody the pleasure of me complaining about losing to them. I've got better things to do than get caught up in stuff like that - Playing the latest Flatout, for instance. Now there's a game I've never heard anyone complain about losing. Must be something to do with the fact you spend half of every match on fire.

Question time!
A lot of guys I know persevere in hanging out always with the same kind of girls, aka the one they can't stand for more than two days and will inevitably complain about with their friends for ages. Why can't they just look for someone different? Why do they have to repeat the hook up/complain cycle with their ex-girlfriend's friend's friend?

I have no idea why guys do the boomerang with girls, when a girl does nothing but get on my nerves I usually make it my personal mission to drive them away, thankfully I've only had to do it twice.

i'll say it's because they really like those type of women but want to look cool in front of their friends. i had a friend that would rag on fat chicks when around us but would date fat chicks, i actually think he was closeted but that's another discussion, he would say "omg look at that tub of lard, she's quite the porker" or something similar and would go all gaga over some skinny chick, the only time i saw him really "date" any girl, i'd consider her overweight cause her gut was peeking over her waist a bit. i personally found it funny

to be fair women do the same thing, they date guys they know are bad for them and so forth

Because people have to have something to complain about, therefore they've got to put themselves in situations that they can complain about later.

Because people love to hate. Seriously. Though I don't do this, it's not just guys that do this. It's really annoying hearing people bitch about people, and then you just want to yell at them, "Stop dating them then!" I really don't get it though, people love to be treated or treat people like crap sometimes.

Well, I feel the need to prove myself to the statement that brown eyes don't look as good with red hair.

Note that yes, I was making fun of emos that day because I'd just gotten new glasses and everyone said they were emo glasses. This was the only shot where my eyes are even visible, lol.
Try this link

Blah issues remembering HTML. It's been a while since I've done anything with HTML so sorry for being a pain while I worked out the link.

wow no offence blaze but you are hot lol
i love redheads and i love girls in glasses, but a redhead in glasses just takes the biscuit, im in awe right now lol

I want to beat everyone I play against. If I'm beaten by someone more skilled, whether man or woman, I do what I can to learn from the loss. Back in my "arcade rat" days there was a girl who worked in the local mall's arcade who could seriously challenge me on Killer Instinct with Sabrewulf. A pity I never got her number before they closed the arcade down; she was kind of cute. ;)

In later days, when I was playing on a very friendly and professional-minded Counter-Strike: Source server, we did have a few women who stopped by to play on occasion. A couple were what you might have called "regulars", and they gave as good as they got. I never had an issue playing alongside or against them, though to be honest, their skills got a bit more respect out of me- because who expects women to work at an FPS game so hard?

Anyway. Guys who feel "emasculated" by being beaten by a girl are probably investing far too much of their self-image into their ability to play. When did it stop being a game?

Blayze, it's totally not my fault that our tags are similar, lol. Though I wish I'd have actually been able to see your reaction, I'm betting it would've been pretty funny.

Thanks for the compliments guys, you totally made my day. I don't often get that reaction.

I definitely think that females are becoming a stronger force in the gaming world. I mean, we're really not that much of an oddity anymore. Just in the past two years, I went from being a complete oddity as I worked in a video game store, to nothing special, because in my region alone we have at least five new women on the team. My point is, guys, get used to getting beat by a girl. The likelihood of it happening is rising dramatically.

Blayze, it's totally not my fault that our tags are similar, lol. Though I wish I'd have actually been able to see your reaction, I'm betting it would've been pretty funny.

It was pretty much along the lines of "But... I don't... That doesn't... I'm not... There's no... Ohhh, right." It didn't help that there weren't obvious signs for me to see such as "Nice hair, Blaze. The colour is totally nothing like Blayze's!"

As far as female gamers are concerned, I'm just glad I've not yet stumbled across any of the stereotypical "Can deal out the trash-talking but not take it" version. Now if only I had never learned of that bloody PMS (Psychotic Man Slayerz) clan...

I like the fact that I can Beat Jallil at most games we have played... Because except for Gran Turismo or Ace Combat, I get my ass raped at every other game... I won't be surprised if she whips my ass at Halo 3 every time when we get our X-box 360... Then we will get on the PS3 and I will give it back on Prologue...

Well, speaking as both a lesbian and a feminist, I have no doubt that I am just as horrible, cold-hearted, bitchy, and humorless as you expect me to be. I'm also ugly as shit. And I hate everyone who isn't "one of us." Oh, wait, what the hell am I doing here, then? You mean this isn't the BBS for the Female Supremicist Ball-Breakers International Sisterhood? How very embarrassing, and here I've been all this time, making friends with people who are not carbon-copies of myself.

The Female Supremacist Ball-Breakers International Sisterhood? I LOVE them. I've got all their films.

BlazeTheVampire - very pretty. Brown eyes look great on a redhead. I was at a race once and one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen walked by, long dark red hair, brown eyes, lots of freckles, slender and small breasted but not bony - so pretty that each time she walked by men (and some women) would stop in mid-sentence to watch her. Not that that's my type, I don't have a type; I enjoy almost all women. Even the crazy ones are enjoyable if you're just looking. Speaking of which, I'd never tell a crazy woman I'm bored with the relationship, and I've been there. You might end up at the hospital after a suicide attempt (been there, too.) I'd just tell her I'm obviously not good for her, which would be true without putting any blame on her for not being interesting. The point is to get away without incurring any bad karma, right?

Rosalilith, as Blaze said "good figure" is totally subjective and does not necessarily equal big boobs or a narrow waist. I had a friend in high school that was only attracted to plump but small-breasted women, and had married a couple of them (the last time, happily) last time I saw him. Another friend was only attracted to very small, slim girls even though he was very large. Personally I just like balance; a thin, small-breasted, narrow hipped girl is fine, as is a plump, busty, curvy girl - basically any woman who looks healthy, confident, and comfortable in her own skin. And I don't think I'm unique. Almost any figure can appeal to most men if it's reasonably well packaged and worn with confidence, and EVERY figure is attractive to some men even without particularly flattering clothing or self-confidence. A beautiful pair of eyes makes my day as much as a nice pair of breasts, with the advantage of usually being uncovered. (Plus as a married man if there are uncovered breasts I have to leave; not so with eyes.) I don't think many guys knock off marks for glasses, and I'd say braces are fairly common within your age group. What guys should be looking for first of all is wit and stability. The smart ones eventually figure this out. (Hey, testosterone makes it hard to think!) And please remember that an online persona is not necessarily who someone is; it can also be who someone wants you to think he is. No one should ever meet an online acquaintance without some serious backup with you.

Jallil - a better question would be why do so many women take up with men who treat them badly? 90% of everything is crud, but you can easily have the 10% if you want. (Obviously you've figured that out by now, but the point still stands for young women at large. If you fall for a man who treats women like dirt, you will be treated like dirt.)

Darth - AIDS was and remains a primarily heterosexual disease in Africa, its area of origin. It became primarily a male homosexual disease in the USA because of one gay flight attendant and the extremely promiscuous sexual behavior of some male homosexuals, and has since become a more homogeneous disease due to other transmission factors as some have mentioned (blood transfusions, shared needles, and bisexuals. While I share your disgust toward men who are secretly homosexual (and very promiscuous to boot) whilst keeping a girlfriend or wife as cover, other than that each person owns his or her own body and can share it as desired. And while it is theoretically possible that the disease has been tracked down to one original vector, it's much more likely that your teacher was a prick.

And dude, you should be ashamed to admit you married your ex-wife without knowing her. How can you really know someone without seeing how she reacts to being caught in a sudden rain storm, or how she treats waiters (especially bad waiters) or an old lady in front of you who is looking for a coupon in a purse the size of a Volkswagen? How can you love someone before you've seen if she can forgive? Not many women say "Hello, I'm a bugshit crazy bitch out to find someone on the Internet to make me happy even when I'm crushing his soul." But I guess I'm not telling you anything new.

EDIT: Monroe rules.

I don't often get that reaction.

I find that hard to believe.

Here's a question:
If you met a girl who said she didn't care what your penis size was, would you still make a big deal of it? Honestly, many of us do not care

But I like it when girls are impressed... Okay, No, I know I have the skills to back it up if it WASN'T still that big...

THATS what most girls would rather hear

According to everything I've looked at I'm above average and that's all I ask for out of my biology. Unfortunately I'm still only 5'9" which is kinda on the short side if I remember correctly.

black_roses_93:

Ask Jallil Vlos about my size and skill... She is my girlfriend and will be happy to tell you all about it...

cleverlymadeup:
i play female chars in mmo's, why? simply put i'd rather stare at a female char than a male one all the time. i do get guys trying to hit on me with more than funny results sometimes

It's a Trap!! :D

Bigger = Manlier... in Manguage. Doesn't mean much to someone who's planning to die a virgin though so I can't say. Some guys obsess about their size yes, but do remember that it is no where near the degree of the female obsession with make-up.

Darth Mobius:

I'll pass, hear about another dudes skill isn't high on my list of things to do.

Wasn't talking to you. Just her...

Actually, I'd rather not. But it's great that you're so happy with your wong.

Got another question; is loosing a hard one during sex really such a nightmare for guys? If yes, why? And what would you do if it happened?

Maybe its kinda personal but since some persons *looks at Mobius and Jallil* are happy to share their intimate details anyways, thought I might as well ask.

Oh here is a girl point of view; when a girl for one time can not reach an orgasm, it's not the end of the world. If it would hapen all the time it's annoying, but I can understand why some girls fake at times. It's less of a fuss then trying to explain to their guy that they are ok, really.

Whoops, read it wrong... It happened to me, but I never had problems getting Jallil off when it did, so No, it wasn't that big a deal to me...

*folds her arms* Now I've not been part of this but if you want to drag me into it, You funeral. And if the guy knows what he's doing. Then the girl, each time, should have no problems orgasiming.

I find that hard to believe.

I go to a University where 90% of the girls are carbon copies of Paris Hilton. You'd think then that the variety would be attractive, but evidently not. I've been told by my ex girlfriend, and a few close friends back her up, that I scare people. Evidently my confidence in myself (not just my looks, but my accomplishments as well) scares the shit out of people. None of you know me in person so you probably can't imagine it, but from what my ex said, men are actually afraid to tell me I'm pretty.

Yet, with such looks, and such confidence, I'm stomped on when I attempt a relationship. Every single guy I've dated since Junior year of high school has only wanted sex and nothing else. Once I finally learned this and tried the approach to relationships that doesn't begin and end with sex, I realized I was completely and utterly broken in the fact that I couldn't make a relationship get off its feet. It either leads to sex, or me freaking the fuck out because the guy wants to go further and is pressuring me. I mean, I know that if a guy leaves because I won't fuck him, I don't want him anyways, but the number of men that have thrown me aside in exchange for a different model is upsetting to say the least.

So yes... it's nice to hear guys say I'm attractive without trying to push me down onto the bed while doing so...

Sorry, that was a bit of a rant. I'm a bit touchy at the moment due to a late evening with my most notable ex boyfriend. The one at the beginning of the story of why I'm such a piece of work.

BlazeTheVampire:

Thanks for the compliments guys, you totally made my day. I don't often get that reaction.

Hell, if I wasn't attached I'd have probably made a clumsy pass at you by now. :)

(Just to be fair, Miss Dumpling(if that's your real pic) is very cute as well; but Jallil's is a little too small to make a fair comment; as well as Darth would stomp me.)

(Oh, and if you think you can beat me at games, Bring it on! ;) )

I've been told by my ex girlfriend, and a few close friends back her up, that I scare people.

Hah, nice. Wish I could do that. Trying to get more confident (I'm trying the "Pretend you're confident for long enough and then it'll happen" way), but slouching is just so much simpler! I just disturb people.

Thanks for the compliments guys, you totally made my day. I don't often get that reaction.

Heh. I probably wouldn't say anything if we'd met in real life - I don't really talk to strangers much, least of all to comment on their appearance. On the net though? Lot easier to talk. I can even rewrite stuff if it comes out wrong.

All the highschool stuff, just horney teens. And as far as I can see, we just turn into horney men, then horney old men, then die. Just something in or make that keeps us going for it. But you should find you can meet alot of guys that can hold there balls down for a bit.

As for the Paris Hilton thing, I find nothing more repulsive. I can't stand girls that talk, act or look anything like her. That's hot.

Yeah blayze the internet makes most quiet types come to life.
Look at me for example, I love forums and what not. But I hate public crowds.

My hate for Paris Hilton is only because of the media. But the girls that are like her annoy me. Even if only for a minute its too much exposure to stupidity.

Ok, here's one for the books. Hot or cute?

Hot is typically body orientated. Big boobs and right structure, that sort of shiz. Think Carmen Electra or Angelina Jolie.
Cute is more about face, hair etc.

I think I'm a cute guy myself.

Hot guy, although I always end up with the cuter girls.

Alas!
