Your friend is right though. Even Seinfeld got this right (a man's body is utilitarian, a woman's body is a work of art). A woman's value in life is based virtually entirely upon her beauty in youth. Women know this too, it's why the cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. The reason women feign disbelief at this notion and decry it as sexist is because women know looks fade fast. Like Louis CK said, do you really want to end up being "the hot girl at the bar"? Where will you be in 10 years? Your male friend is right regardless of how much you may wish he was wrong.
From the texting dialect, you and him seem like total idiots. I think it's funny that you pretended to act offended and yet still text to this guy and possibly hang out with him. Like speaks to like, I guess.
Women are pretty. Ok. I get it. But a woman's value should not be first (or solely) placed in her image. Can we please set a new standard? Enough with this billion dollar industry and woman do it to themselves, yadda yadda. Dudes totally contribute to the pretty business now-adays, (directly as consumers and as pushers of this ideal women need to be pretty, always). Men just aren't valued first on looks, second on their contributions to society (it's the reverse). It's fucked up that this is still a message we give little girls and women. Makes me sad as a woman.
Woman who are fun, smart, confident and intriguing individuals. Don't date guys who think women are just pretty objects. So if you actually want to have a genuine relationship with someone, try changing your opinion.
I see it this way: This guy is not too bright. Duh, yeah, of course. But he's trying to pay a compliment in a way and give useful advice. Granted, he's dumb as shit, so it comes out wrong. he's lowering himself and putting women on a pedestal. For the girl to feign being indignant (and she was feigning it to make herself appear to be more valuable or cultured than she actually is) is more suspect than his attempt at good-natured but wrong-headed jocular sexism.
Look, you can't expect these idiots to ever get it right. They're dumb. They shouln't even be breeding, but they do. To call either of them out on any kind of sexism or whatever is absurd. they're barely past breathing and foraging for food. 50% of your country, America. Enjoy.
Also, anon, misandry for life. Never talk to that asshole again.
what, they should all be in high heels and non-leggings??
hi goon.
