I hear you but you know something that came to my mind while reading your post? That whether you know it or not you represent exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm not accusing you of being a hater only you know what you are inside. But your words fit a type. The type who look at me and just hate for the very fact that I happen to be around. I'm not the only guy who goes through this as I've read others in this thread talking about similar things. When a person talks about things that concern them it's not boasting, it's a life experience. That should also be respected, no?
I prefer to treat people as I wish to be treated but I don't let people walk across me either. And I'll admit that when I see the discomfort in the eyes of certain haters-espcially when I know that they're the ones who are going the extra mile to try to make me look stupid, I'll smile and insult them and watch them turn red faced before they walk away.
And yes, women can find a handsome guy to be very attractive but their defense mechanisms can intensify all the more. Because usually you're expected to behave a certain way, to have had so many girlfriends, and that if you're not involved with anyone long term you're lying about it, "too picky", "arrogant", "player", etc. Just on assumptions.
The problem with haters (of any kind) is that they refuse to put themselves in other people's shoes. Everyone has things that concern them, but people who make false judgements never see it all they want to do is project their own hostilities, resentment onto other people. That's a terrible flaw in human nature and a source of so much of the world's problems.
