I have always said that "Nerdy Nice Guys" are easily the most misogynistic male social group in America. But i'm still not a rapist just because YOU say I am. Lighten up, buttercup.

Oh shut up.

Misrepresenting your looks on a dating site is a legitimate gripe. Not that your physical looks should be the only thing people look for in a "mate" (for lack of a better word), but physical attraction IS important for a relationship. At least in the beginning. Wouldn't you be pissed if a guy made his photo look all hot and then you met him and he wasn't?!

I am a woman, so I understand feminism. But guess what, feminism is about sexual EQUALITY, not "Let's bash all men!" I love men. I have more male friends than female friends. Why? Women are overly emotional and rely on said emotions to rule their decisions. Men rely on logic. I am grateful to be in the logic team despite my sex organs. Because look at how bitchy and whiny YOU sound.

Oh, and I meant to take that "shut up" out. Sorry about that, ma'am.

It seems at least once a week some woman who got denied by a guy due to her using an unrealistic profile photo on her dating profile freaks out and posts a letter condemning all men. Classic. Way to disprove the stereotype that all women are crazy.

"Here's a thought, no one fucking cares if you're not a rapist or if you think you're not a misogynist. If a woman tells you you are, YOU ARE, shut the fuck up and listen to her. "

Dumbest thing I've read all week.

@dmitrir - Concurrence.

Sounds like IA hasn't had the big dick in some time.

Ever heard of the term misandrist? Well as a man I'm telling you that's what you are, SO YOU ARE. The other side of the coin sounds pretty fucking stupid too, doesn't it? Jesus, STFU with that drag already.
10
lol wow these comments. Way to prove IA
11
So if i tell you you're a fire engine, then you are? And i suppose this makes it not mysoginistic for men to demand that women shave their bodies, because you just demanded all men shave their necks?

Now im just convinced this post is a fake. no one is that logically moribund.
12
Mansplain harder
13
Wow, fat chicks really do get bitter as they get older, huh?
14
So are unicorns well-hung? Or is the horn overcompensation?
15
What KB said. Your pictures should look like you if you're on a dating site.
16
Just another dumb broad trying to incite men so that her post will be "most popular". Please, honey. You fatties with your lies. Lies, I say! Posting pics that certainly look nothing like you and yet surprised when men turn you down. I'm certain that all your girlfriends encourage you to lie when posting pics on your numerous online/cheap sex websites: "You go girl, if no man want you cause you're 'full-figured', then he don't know what he's missing!" "Honey, you look beautiful, I wish I had an ass like you!" You do know that your girlfriends are lying to you, right? I mean, what are they supposed to do, tell you the truth? "Damn girl, your ass is fucking huge, why don't you put down that meat lovers pizza!" "Well honey, no wonder men don't like you, you fatter than two heifers at milking time!" You're fat and unattractive, and you attempt to blame men because we don't "accept" you? We totally accept you, do not fret...we accept you for being fat and ugly. Just because we don't want to date you, don't get your panties all up in a bunch.
17
well....... I......... never......... :(
18
I will not be labeled as a nerd who dates in the net!

19
Let's get back to that neck stubble business. I'm intrigued.
20
May you all die alone
21
I was intrigued by the subject line, but the content let me down.

It goes both ways - but really I,A, your complaint makes you sound young (which is okay). But for your benefit, people grow up, change and act differently. Besides, dating is a process of finding out what you like and what you don't like. Clearly, neck stubble isn't your thing. But who knows? That's probably a thing for someone else.

I agree with the rest of the commenters, you saying a person is X, does not make it so.

I've been meaning to do an OK Cupid experiment where I make myself seem as unflattering as possible. I think that'd be fun, and I'm already in a long-term, so the stakes are pretty low.
22
I would have to disagree with you, I,A. I don't believe that if a woman tells you that you are a rapist or mosaginist that "you are". I have personally never heard anything logical, educated, or worth listening to from any woman. This includes my mother and wife. So, if you please, correct your statement.
23
I don't entirely agree with you anon (perhaps you have just been around a lot of douchey guys. It happens), but I do agree on the stupid beard thing. Lame and really passe. And yes, some guys think way the hell to much of themselves.
24
@24- Think too much of ourselves? As if these skirts don't? That's why all those internet broads want to act like its 2003 or some shit and post photos from when they were thin, had a good haircut, and are not wearing Adrianne Balboa's eyewear (part 1, btw).
25
Glum bitch. Suck my hog.
26
mosaginist that
27
I didn't say they were perfect either Iceprez. You have a point.......kinda false advertising, right?
28
@27- I think that there is sufficient false advertising in their self-descriptions alone. "What can I say? I'm fucking awesome!!!!" No, i'm afraid you are not.
29
And they never put the toilet seat down! Am I right ladies?
30
Jeez, way to prove her right. She did go to far with they whole "if I say you are, you are" thing, but she has a valid point. It seems if a women voices her opinion on here, the largely male commentators assume she's a lesbian, fat, or a bitch. It's just like anything on the internet, of the commenter reveals herself to be a woman, it invalidates anything they say. I have experienced and observed this time and time again, and I try not to say inflammatory things! It gets frustrating.
31
Who cares if she's proven right? It's the Internet. It's not like we'll learn anything from the exchange.
32
IA, could you please post up a photo of yourself (an accurate representation, please) so we can all recognize you and stay the hell away if we should happen to see you? Because honestly, you don't sound like you're all that much fun to be around. Oh wait, it's I *anonymous* isn't it? Hmmm. Nevermind. I guess I'll just have to grow a neckbeard so you'll stay the hell away from me...
33
@30 I revealed myself to be a woman (comment 3 and 4, couldn't sign up as 'KB') and no one bashed me, and even one person agreed!

I get what you're saying, but I think the point of all the reactions is that you get back what you give. Face it, while the OP's complaint may be legitimate for her, she went about it in a stereotypical, man-hating way on a site that is largely populated by male comments. Not to mention the fact that she states some outlandish opinions, saying them as if they were fact.

She basically asked for these responses.
34
"Here's a thought, no one fucking cares if you're not a rapist or if you think you're not a misogynist. If a woman tells you you are, YOU ARE, shut the fuck up and listen to her. " WORD!! !! It's under the NO MEANS NO LAW, PRICK!!
35
Just because your a female say you are does not make you get feminism at all. Your comments show otherwise. YOU ARE NOT A FEMINIST, LEARN ABOUT ETHICAL HUMANITY, NOT WHAT YOU THINK...you know because you obviously are oblivious like the rest of the masses.
36
I love how women are free to call men pigs, rapists, angry and other derogatory names. But, as soon as you say they're fat (which, I'm sorry to say, most girls in Portland are), it's a total hissy fit. "men are fucking PIGS, RAPISTS and they're ANGRY FUCKERS!!". "Yeah, well you're fat". "Oh my god ladies, did you hear with this man-pig said?! Thanks for proving my point, you MAN-PIG! And pass those pork chops, I'm still hungry". Kind of hypocritical for you to call men names, but get upset when they do the same, eh? What are you ladies, Republicans?
37
...and if a guy says you are a bitch, then obviously you must be one.
38
Sweet. Baby. Jesus. The Mercury must be so proud of its readers right now.
39
@34: I don't think the "No means no" law means what you think it means...

"I have more male friends than female friends. Why? Women are overly emotional and rely on said emotions to rule their decisions. Men rely on logic."
You KNOW what a misogynist is, right? Self hatred is soo 90s
42
Exhibit A-Z!!!
43
I'm thinking that @tcraighenry posted this. the lady doth protest too much.
44
ntrecek: Self hatred? I don't hate myself at all. You must be attempting to insinuate that I hate my own sex.

Please read things carefully. I do not hate women. I am a full supporter of sexual equality. I also believe in the freedom of being able to form an educated opinion on the type of people I choose to be friends with.

It is a biological fact that most women rely on emotions for decision making while most men rely on logic. My brain naturally leans toward logic, so yes a lot of females (not ALL) annoy me.

Being annoyed by someone is a huge difference from hating them.

And besides, the I love the 90s. The best era for music, in my opinion.
45
It's called internalized misogyny dummy.
46
@KB The poster was asking for it amirite
47
Nope, still not misogyny.
48
I don't think you know what misogyny, internalized or otherwise, means.
49
These comments are fucking gross.
50
I don't think you can read. And I'm with the poster above -- I am now convinced you wrote this IA. I will no longer waste my time arguing with you. It's like those bullshit Science vs. Religion debates.
51
Oh Christ!
Put photos up that look like you. It's not like they WON'T KNOW when they see you in person what you actually fucking weigh/look like.
There is a difference between a well taken photo and a photo taken from up high where a girl is sucking in her cheeks, has 164135656569 lbs of make-up on, and has obviously photo-shopped the shit out of it.

Not sexy, and it is misrepresenting your appearance.
And there are plenty of dudes that like a thick chick. Own it, or you just look insecure and stupid.

52
LOL ok KB. Roll with it.
53
SOMEONE HAS STRONG FEEL BRO! CHILL!
54
Hahaha...man, this tcraighenry guy is just the biggest sadsack in the world.

Kay_b, I agree with you 100%; I'm luck enough to have a few really good female friends that are inherently logical, whip-smart, and take the piss out of the guys as good as anyone, and they generally have the same attitude as you about these tings. Don't let this goofball sell yout the self-hating routine. It's probably a male sophomore poli-sci major from PSU.

55
And yeah, this idiot I,A deserves nothing more than to end up alone or with the abuse-tolerant guy or girl they may accept them. Hopefully it's the former.
56
:( I am sad why don't you like me

Please wait...
