Pam Houston (the writer) is "adorable": http://wwwenglish.ucdavis.edu/faculty/Houston/default.html

Hehehe,..this is a "myspace angle" shot

 

[KontrollerX]

Sweet merciful Christ what an ugly woman!

 

[Latinoman]

Hehehe,..this is a "myspace angle" shot

LOL.

Good observations Mr. Me. The wording is definitely framed to demean men in a general fashion.

On related note, if you check out her site, it seems she had a "troubled" relationship with her father, so little doubt on the freudian projection towards men....

^^^ to the chagrin of Dentists everywhere...

Oh f@ck! Did I write "those little birds"? Oh, darn... I'm showing my deep resentment harboring on narcissism bordering on emotional disorder, with a pinch of misogyny and a trace of anger.

Ha ha ha ha ! Brilliant quip.

Anyone notice this - as women have become more financially independent and more assertive , their need to blame men and shift reasonsibilty for their failings has NOT diminished . You would think that their new found power would bring with it a corresponding increase in their willingness to shoulder the accountability for their own life journey and the pitfalls along it.
It appears that their newfound "liberation" from the alleged domination of men has not changed their insatiable desire to play the victim. If fact now they have OPRAH to speak for them ( of feed into this desire)
She is merely providing a service to a hungry market. The need is for women to play "victim" and men to assume the role of "perpetrator". Victims are innocent and blameless, perps are evil and scheming and dark, evil rats.
OPRAH found a need in half the population and is filling that need .
Free enterprise in its pure form ,or the mercandising of the new snake oil ?

depressed women

druggie women

bpd women

crazy women

broke women

had sex with 50 guys women (more like 150)


Those traits from that list all describe a gf of mine, best sex ever. However, that does not make the 'run' advice bad.

I think a much better criteria is from that John Mellencamp song... "I need a lover that won't drive me crazy."

dude, you left out JCM's criteria for a woman that won't drive him crazy:


"one that knows the meaning of, uh, hey hit the highway..
..I want a woman that won't drive me crazy..
one that'll thrill me, and then go away"

Good points on how stereotyping follows from this list, Mr. Me.

Standard issue incorrect inference fodder for logically challenged females and the foolish fellows who want so desperately to impress them.

And ain't it wonderful how the couch-potato chicks' darlings Oprah and Dr. Phil just love to shoot at obvious, easy targets?

 

[drmeathead]

what a stupid ******* this pam houston is. her article was vague and her little vignettes werent even humorous or entertaining. what an ass hat...how did she get a job? 200 years ago she would have been left to starve...or atleast work in a field somewhere where her obvious lack of communication skills wouldnt be able to confuse anyone

 

[Deep Dish]

Numero Uno Guy Women Should Avoid:

Men who actually think. They enjoy a good book and having stimulating intellectual conversation with their buddies and complete strangers in bars. They are perfectly okay with the idea of never being with you and probably may encourage the idea. They know how to manage money and have money in the bank, but they won't give you the PIN number on their debit card. They know the difference between merlot, cabernet savignon, and pinot noir wines, but Valentine's Day is not an officially recognized holiday on their calendar.

[/satire]

 

[Bonhomme]

:crackup:

Beautiful Deep Dish, just beautiful!

(though I do like to make the most of any reason to show a deserving woman a good time, including Valentine's Day)

I don't see any difference between this article and Latinoman's thread on this same forum, same page.

Both are about standards, mostly stict, and mostly silly.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

So it matters to you if your gf has no money? I don't care about her financial situation as long as im attracted to her.

Think debt load JOE. Credit debt becomes community debt after marriage. Women may consider their college educations a point of pride, but the student loans and credit card debt the vast majority of them end up with after college is epidemic. Combine this with the fact that women have always been the prime consumer demographic in the U.S. and you can see why being wary of a woman in debt is always a good idea.

 

[Munson]

If you ever decide to get married you better run a credit check on your future wife to be. Don't take her word for it.

I had a friend who had been married for a couple of months and decided to look at a new truck to buy. When the dealership did a credit check on him they said his credit was bad. He was baffled because he knew his credit was good. It turns out his wife had something like $20,000 in debt that she never told him about. He imediatley divorced her before that debt became his. In California I guess there is a 6 month window before your spouses debt becomes yours.

If you don't do your homework you deserve what comes your way.
