I just had this convo with my roommate last night. Crazy.
As a woman, I HATE when women "fish" for compliments. I have friends who do it ALL THE TIME. "Omg, I look sooo bloated today...this shirt makes me look fat." I just nod. I CAN'T and WILL NOT compliment someone when they fish.
Come on Girls!!! Stop acting like little victims, wipe that shit off your face and eat!
I think women will put up with "less attractive" men than men will with women. However, I know I am just as guilty as many men of judging a guy by his appearance and not wanting him because he is ugly (mostly stinky though).
I think the most harmful thing society teaches women is the "fairytale" myth: that she should marry a prince who should sweep her off her feet, free her from all woes, and live happily ever after in mundane passivity. The myth falls apart in the post-feminist world, where relationships are more interdependent and individuals are more self-sufficient from each other. It's a myth that tells girls that they can only be subservient, passive creatures waiting for men to save their lives and take care of them.
The thing that cracks me up about straight men is that even the fat, hairy, weird-o ones with glasses and crooked dicks really and truly believe that they deserve swimsuit models as girlfriends. It's really...bizarre.
And chicks are brainwashed to believe this, too, at every turn. It's all over the televison. Women are taught that it is more important whether or not men think they are sexy than it is if they think the men are sexy.
I used to get into wayyyy to many conversations with the husband's ugly friends who had wayyyy too high standards for dating. They were always saying, "She's too fat. She looks funny." Yadda. And I'm like, "But you're fat. You look funny." They didn't like that much. Heh. The poor dorks are still single.
Of course, one of 'em (the beautiful one of course) is gay, gay, gay, and I just wish he'd figure it out, out, out, and let me be his hag. But noooo, he thinks he's straight. Right. Whatever. Needs to be hit by a clue bus and soon. When you take my husband to the gay bar, and

EXACTLY! A friend of mine's (who will remain nameless, because she'd cut me) boyfriend used to bitch all the time at her about her looks, totally oblivious to the fact that, uh...she's the prettier one in the relationship, haha, to put it lightly.
Closet cases are just sad, when they won't even admit it to themselves. Those are the guys who end up coming out at 50, way past their prime, wishing they'd done it earlier. Closet cases are pretty high up on my 'try not to date' list, haha.
Oh! And because you're a Smallville fan, here's some sexy Tom Welling love in icon form for you!
