Sexism for Men and Women- Male Confidence

[iolo]

In current society women are conditioned to be attracted to big, dominant and confident males, and the dimmer and less confident amongst them are. As I've said elsewhere, it is like those who went to our old public schools and were regularly beaten by prefects - if you are conditioned to find being dominated sexy, so it goes. It why so many of these blokes favour Miss Whip and her like if they manage to move over to heterosexuality. If humanity survives it will all be regarded as an interesting example of abnormal psychology.

Then you're not aware of what advice they're giving women.

No. And you're not giving me any reason to believe I should be.

I'm just giving you an example. Since you don't read women's magazines, then you're ignorant of how women get advice on some things. And how often.

But women also like men who are not threatening. Women also find shy, self-effacing guys attractive.

As someone who, on her very best day would be considered by most to be somewhere between very average/leaning plain to absolutely forgettable, I can assure you that the incidents described happen to women of all sizes, shapes and degrees of attractiveness.

oh absolutely - the shit that men think it's appropriate to say to women never ceases to utterly blow my mind.

but it seems to happen *the most* to those on either end of the spectrum.

'But women also like men who are not threatening. Women also find shy, self-effacing guys attractive.'

Some women - there is normal human variation of the one hand and regimentation by such things as women's mags on the other. It is okay for grownup people, but pretty desperate for teenagers.
