Welcome to 10 things men find unattractive. Let the record reflect that just because men find said issues unattractive that does not mean we will not attempt to sleep with you. The two are not mutually exclusive; this is a very real disclaimer

[geardaddy]

6. Sure. Skootch in and have some.

[Major Hogwash]

Don't you know what "scootch" means in Sweden?

[geardaddy]

11. I think you're right.

[ellisonz]

23. Thank ye!

anyone?

[hlthe2b]

2. I never thought I'd REALLY regret losing the UNREC option...

What claptrap.

[geardaddy]

3. Yeah, I was looking forward to unreccing this.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

29. Well you couldn't really have un-recced in the old forum either because un-rec didn't work in

the Lounge

But I agree -this is a lot of sexist claptrap and the guy writing it sounds like a real chauvinist

12. !!!

[Major Nikon]

17. Don't knock it

My first time I was 'experienced' was when I ran away and joined the circus one summer. I can still remember the feel of her beard next to my young skin.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

13. PFFT!

Who gives a flying fuck?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. Hey

good to see you!

[gratuitous]

14. "Curses like a sailor" So fucking true dat!

I prefer my woman to curse like a well-oiled hobo.

[redqueen]

15. ...

[dimbear]

32. In the classical literature, ill spoken women curse like fishwives.

Whatever that meant is lost in the mists of time.

[gratuitous]

46. I'm hoping to introduce a new classic

Not many people use the term "hobo" anymore, though. That could, though, give it an appearance of antiquity. I still remember my surprise at seeing the word "polluted" to describe someone who'd gotten drunk the night before used in a Bertie Wooster story by P.G. Wodehouse back in the early part of the last century. We thought we'd come up with that all by ourselves in the eco-conscious days of the 1970s.

[Bucky]

64. The kids today (at least the ones I teach) all use "hobo"

It doesn't mean "guy who rides the rails" so much as "bum".

[siligut]

16. Just more fucking propaganda

Disguised as a survey and designed to influence impressionable young minds.

[treestar]

19. Why is looking for a man desperately unattractive?

Never understood that one. There's a double standard, as men come off as desperately looking to get laid and admit it. If they are so desperate to get laid, wouldn't women who appear uninterested be less attractive than women who are also desperate to get laid?

It's like praying for rain but getting upset that it's all wet.

The rest of them sound like beauty is the biggest concern and keeping the beauty industry in $$ is the most pressing thing around which men form relationships, with a few from a 19th century aunt thrown in.

[dawg]

20. I doubt that men who are desperate to get laid are all that appealing to women either.

I mean, if they are, then where are all the women beating down my door?

Just kidding!

But seriously, I think either sex is probably less appealing if they appear too desperate.

[Chan790]

21. Because they looking for different things.

If I'm desperately looking to get laid (and I'm not saying I am), then the woman desperately looking for a commitment is less not more appealing.

Even if you're stand-up fellow, the woman just looking for the commitment and no longer caring with whom, is not appealing.

[treestar]

22. OK so a lady desperate to get laid who wants no commitments is OK and beautiful?

It's just a misogynist assumption that all women want to grab them a husband - thought that one went out with the 50s and Sally what's her name on the Dick Van Dyke show.

[Chan790]

24. No, I'm telling you that often as a matter of fact...

these women that the author is referring to are looking for that. I've been in conversations with women like this and the first three things I get asked are:

1.) What do you do? (Nothing, it's wonderful until the rent is due.)
2.) What kind of car do you drive? (I don't. I take the bus.)
3.) Is that real? (My Tiffany Mark watch. Yes, it is. A gift to myself when I graduated college. Saddled with $30K in debt, why not buy a $6K watch?)

At that point, I don't want to know you...I know why you're interested. I'm not the fool you're looking for.

[treestar]

28. That does sound bad

Though she could have been recently burned by someone who wanted money, too. But those questions if stated as quoted would seem to indicate a gold digger.

[JI7]

31. yup, those are signs of golddigger

which is totally different from someone who just really really wants to be in a serious relationship.

[hyphenate]

49. My sister

has never asked those questions. I swear!

That's why every guy she seems to fall for is a loser. A REAL loser.

She says she doesn't like "nice" guys. I think some women have major self-esteem problems. Anyone who has had incest, abuse, alcoholism, drug addictions, or worse thrown at them growing up is likely to repeat that same behavior in their own lives.

Some women are told during their growing up that they're no good, and that they are going to end up to be either trollops or "just like their mothers." I don't know about guys, but women as children have a great deal more fragility when it comes to these things. Being told you're worthless makes you want to die, or marry some abuser that is just like the one who is belittling you.

I have never seen my sister stand up to any man in her life. She has had enough trouble with them, but never once was she secure enough to tell them to fuck off.

I'm no nun, but I prefer being alone to being with some loser who gets his rocks off by putting down women.

[redqueen]

50. Another factor is being told 'all men only want one thing'...

as my dad was fond of telling me.

Once I was convinced he was right (I refused to believe it at first, then I entered the house of fun), and that all men were dogs after only one thing, why would I bother looking for a decent guy?

[seabeyond]

53. and i had two stable, responsible, loving parents and had only the same with men i dated

hmmmm. i think i see a pattern.

to this day i tell my getting old father how thankful i am i had a man like him in my life that gave me the self worth and respect i learned i deserved from others.


it makes him feel good. no better gift a father can give a daughter.

AND

boys are just as dependent and emotional and vulnerable as girls. dont anyone fool themselves.

[yankeepants]

37. Sally Rogers played by Rose Marie

She was always jealous that her ca,t Mr. Henderson, was always going out to get lucky and she was staying home alone.

Must have been either her hair or her posture.

I suppose that her character being probably one of the first women comedy writers for a successful program was not something that would be attractive according to this list of shallow tripe.

[seabeyond]

30. and if a man asks a woman what do you drive, or do for a living it is

making conversation.

i cannot imagine getting to know a person and not ask what they do for a living since it takes up most their day.

[treestar]

35. True, who would not volunteer that information early on?

Just to have something to talk about.

And whichever men have a problem with that need, to be consistent, to not be looking at their date's cleavage or whatever. That'd be the equivalent.

[redqueen]

51. Very much agreed.

Asking someone what they do is not a 'gold digger' question on its own.

[seabeyond]

52. i started hearing this when dating and i couldnt believe i was not allowed to ask the person

what they did all fuckin day. was about stupid. ask and talk about what he does = golddigger. well fuck.....

[Chan790]

66. Yeah, but one shouldn't lead with it.

You know, 10, 15 minutes into a conversation after you've already gotten to know something about them, some level of comfort and interest has been established...it's conversational. You've already made it clear that your interested in them absent that information.

I'd never lead with it in the first 2 minutes for the same reason I don't ask people I just met for the balance of their checking account, how many sexual partners they've had or if they're actively engaged in sedition against the government. It's a little too personal and assessment-like.

[redqueen]

67. It's often one of the first questions I ask. It will continue to be.

The answers, the way the question is answered, and the reaction to the question say a lot about the person.

[seabeyond]

68. meh... the only reason why i may put it off is cause i know men preceive it as a gold diggin

Last edited Wed Dec 21, 2011, 08:53 AM - Edit history (1)

question. seeing how i never wanted shit from a man and paid my own way, i never had those concerns. i could see me ploppin down and saying, so.... what do you do all day.

yes. there are women that are after using men. and yes, i think a man can clearly see it if he chooses. i dont think women are good at hiding it. (like with issue of men). i think the signs are there to be picked up, if a man chooses to pick them up.

but i dont think there should be such a dogma to asking a man what he does for a living.

the only time i dont bring it up, is if i know he is doing something he.... HE may not feel secure or confident or "successful" in and will hurt his feeling or cause a preceived insult if i do bring it up. personally, i would not care.

[Iggo]

39. Yep. I clicked outa there as soon as I saw that.

Bull-fucking-shit.

In fact it's like praying for rain and being upset that someone else is ALSO praying for rain!!!!

[kayakjohnny]

25. The minute someone makes me click through 10 pages of crap that they could have put on one page,

I dual bird them and move on.

So, consequently, I didn't see the 10 things.

These 'page hit' bastards are wrecking the net.

[Kali]

34. ^^^ this

[treestar]

36. I agree. Yet that is always the case.

In any internet articles labeled with a number like 10 things men don't like, or 11 things women like, or 33 things you ought to eat.

[Hugin]

26. Clowns have GOT to be on that list.

Maybe, even 10 different clowns.

[Skittles]

27. sexist drivel

I love the advice about lady gardening, given by men who sport thick thatches of both armpit and pubic hair (HINT for you guys - do at least a LITTLE BIT of manscaping)

[dana_b]

33. thank you!!!

some people are so damn hypocritical.

[Odin2005]

38. Sexist crap.

[BlueIris]

40. This promotes both misogynist and racist stereotypes.

It's appalling to me that it was allowed to stand.

[formercia]

54. Then don't read it. n/t

[obamanut2012]

41. I am shocked something like this would be allowed to stand

Wow.

How about, "10 Things White People Find Unattractive About Blacks"? Or "10 Things Straights Find Gross About Gays"?

Honestly, how is it any different???

[seabeyond]

42. Honestly, how is it any different??? really? it is about women

all fair dissing women.

[obamanut2012]

44. It's very disheartening, Seabeyond

Isn't it?

[seabeyond]

45. mmm, ya. why so many men feel it is cute or acceptable to be so ugly to a whole gender

has me baffled, mostly.

on edit... i think i read the first one and part of the second and clicked out. i dont even need to go further to know the shit they spew

[obamanut2012]

48. I read the whole thing

No, you don't.

[rocktivity]

43. The entire site like is like that -- it's a glorified "slam book."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. smart women dont like stupid lists. or people who feel compelled to make stupid lists

or post stupid lists.

this list seems to be made by someone who is unloved and unwanted by women and wants to strike back

[formercia]

55. FYI

The reason I posted this was because it is so bad, it's almost Satire, and I wanted to see what the reaction would be.

Some people have no sense of humor, while others are downright anti-Free Speech.

I'm glad we don't have the unrec button any more, otherwise, this thread would have disappeared long ago.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. of all the responses here, yours lacks the most humor

you told someone upthread "dont read it"

your current post is humorless

it seems like you can dish out the criticism but can't take it


if you really wanted people to know that you were posting this as satire, maybe you should have indicated it somewhere along the post. we dont have ESP you know.

[Bucky]

57. 11th turn off: women with ESP

Hiya, toots!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. lol

[seabeyond]

59. ah ha. see, now, that is funny. nt

[seabeyond]

60. wrong place. du3 is hard for me, hitting the right post to reply to. nt

[seabeyond]

61. you are right. the new and improved du allows the sexist shit to stand.

you post the shit and dont get the responses you want, now you step away.

[redqueen]

65. Unrec made threads disappear?

[Major Hogwash]

71. Well, I seriously doubt that you will ever be able to eat out in public again.

Without someone standing up and pointing at you and saying, "That's the guy! That's the guy that started that list at DU!"

[formercia]

77. I've heard people say a lot worse.

I welcome their hatred.

[NewJeffCT]

63. I disagree with most of the list

and, I hated that I had to scroll through 10 pages, and it seemed like I had to hit the page forward link twice each time.

[saras]

69. WTF???

First - they start out with women seeking life partners IN SINGLES BARS. Fail.

Yes, women. Your appearance - and uncontrollable aspects of it like what kind of hair you have - are more important than your values or personality. We all know men are ALL like that, right?

Gaah. If you wonder how right-wingers grow up into the judgmental haters they are, this article is an excellent beginners lesson. Someone looks some way that YOU disapprove of or dislike? Dump on them, ad hominem shit all over them, no problem.

"If you need a weedwacker down there, that’s a problem." The AUTHOR needs a weedwacker down there, with a circular saw blade in it.

Ah, yes, the "angry woman" meme again. Yep, Hilary Clinton, P.J Harvey, Lady Gaga, Patti Smith, and Michelle Bachmann agree on something - NO ONE is attracted to or interested in "angry women".

Given the fact that the vast majority of pictures in the magazine are of black women, I'd probably get dumped from DU if I said all of what I think - but it does seem a good approach for Condi Rice or Sarah Palin. I don't think even this advice would have helped Margaret Thatcher, though.

[formercia]

72. Would you like your Smelling Salts now, or later?

And you expect an Intellectual Discourse in the Lounge?

[seabeyond]

74. you post something really stupid and both genders agree. now, you insult women for the hell of it,

a little bet more, so you dont feel so foolish?

[formercia]

75. Why should I feel foolish?

I'm just the Messenger.

Nobody is forcing you to read it.

As for insults, that hardly qualifies.. I'm sorry if you're thin skinned. Perhaps Martha Stewart would be more to your liking.

[RedCloud]

76. Maybe we should refine this list to more practical things.

1. No oatmeal raisin cookies in cookie jar!

Okay I am stumped after that. I guess I am too open minded about such things.
