A Single Southern Guy in America

Look before you leap

Erased because The Yeti makes a good point.

Link to Kara that initially inspired it is here.

Her link stays on my blogroll.

Welcome Matt to the Blogroll. I appreciate the back up earlier!

There's no reason to pick on her.

She made a mistake, why compound it?

We know you don't hate women. This post might make some doubt it.

Wow, I hate that I missed that.

It was NEVER my intention to start a fight or turn this into some mud-throwing contest. My apologies if that's what you thought. You posted your tale - I posted one woman's impression of it. I don't know if you yourself are a mysogenist. But what you did - feigning romantic interest in a girl and asking for her number simply to prove to a buddy that it could be done - is indicative of "woman as trophy" mentality. I never said your point - that women respond positively to 'nice' men - was bad. It's just my opinion you went too far to prove it.

Your horribly unflattering and detailed description of the women in question also hurt your cause.

spelling correction: mysogenist = misogynist

Guess I shouldn't use big words before my first cup of coffee.

Aw, don't delete your posts!

And, I found the post you deleted much less offensive than all that Paris and Nicole crap. You should put a warning on those: "Those readers who are easily nauseated by fake, ugly skank whores, please pull out your barf bags for the following post."

And Adam, I appreciate the sentiment that I'll stay on your blogroll, but I'm actually not on it. Not looking for a link, just pointing it out.

Damn. I thought I had already added you. It's done now.

Adam, I have no idea as to what was said, but I hope that Yeti is Not referring to me when he says that "She made a mistake". Kara obviously likes you but if you are referring to her, also, I do not believe she made a mistake. I feel as though the issue, which I meant to participate in more as a type of conversational debate (and, I reiterate, not to offend) began to be taken personal. I repeated over and over that I think that EVERBODY does sexist and judgmental things daily, but I still wanted to point out that it happened to, yes, be sexist and judgemental. I thought you as being intelligent, and not the type to react so emotionally to criticism. I would rather see the post if it was against me rather than be defended by Yeti as someone who made a mistake. Thank you.
