Its sickening!!

I get so tired of seeing man-hating stories on here! I'll admit that there are jerks and scumbags out there, and I cant stand them because there's nothing "manly" about them and they give us all a bad rep. To be fair there are trashy, self-centered, and evil-minded women out there too. It just makes me sick to be lumped into the same group as those other pieces of filth....to be mistrusted and hated just because I'm male. There are plenty of nice and good guys out here, were not dead or handicapped. We just dont fit the cultural standard of the perfect man (we dont all have the "hot looks"). We let ourselves be known....but we are often laughed at, used and taken advantage of, ignored, or "just a friend". I always hated and never understood being told that I'm "too nice". I feel for these women who have had one bad experience after another. But perhaps they are just not looking in the right places or for the right men. It doesnt mean that we are all the same or that we all change into the jerks in time. Perhaps their standards are set a bit too high....remember the old saying "if it appears to be too good to be true, then it it probably is". There are really princes who appear to be toads, true love and happiness could be right under their noses. Give us guys a break will ya?

i agree wuth you wholeheartedly..not so long ago,i had turned into a man-hater..for various reasons i tarred all men with the same brush..i was wrong.some of the men i have met through EP have been sweet and kind..They have shown me nothing but respect and courtesy..and im happy to say,you have been one of those men.:)

I agree as well, I can be very man hating at times, but I also get that way towards women too. And as for the "just a friend" clause, I looked to one of my "just friends", someone I NEVER thought I could be with and you're right, he was just under my nose and we are VERY happy together. But I promise I won't man hate unless it's aimed at the exhusband, okay? :)
Feeling confident

I have distaste for individuals, not groups. All men have flaws and perfections and I can see that all women do too. I'm sorry you feel victimised.

I dont necessarily feel victimized....I used to. I have met and married a wonderful woman who thinks Im great just the way I am, and I love her with all my heart. She had every right to be a man-hater because of past relationships, but she gave me a chance and for that Im eternally grateful. I wasnt attacking in my blog....just venting. I guess the treatment I endured (as well as the loneliness and frustration) left scars that are still sensitive. No offense meant toward anyone.

Hey Indy: Sometimes we read something on EP that just ****** us off!! I have had that myself-So no need to worry about hurting my feelings! There are women out there who are only out for themselves and I know that. It's not just the men Keep on being yourself and keep on expressing how you feel!! It's healthy if done in the right way!!
