Do you think that these "psycho" women are created in a vacuum?

Thank you.

This is the most ridiculous thread. I think there is something to be said about a person who keeps getting involved with and attracting these psychos.

And guys are freakin' perfect, right?

What does that mean???

My now ex fiance' is a vacuum!  roll

If I'm missing your sarcasm, accept my apologies now.  I don't intend this to be talking down to you.

The concept of something being "created in a vacuum" is the idea that the environment affects how a person ends up.  Psychotic killers are not "created in a vacuum" - there is something in their lives (usually) that causes them to react to the world in such a violent manner.

Thus, there are reasons that some women act the way that they do, and it isn't simply because they are women.

Jesus.

I don't blame my cycle for my psychotic personality.
I also don't spend any money on dresses. Jeans and cargos maybe, both of which I am quite sure I dont need. God knows Express loves me.  Or tennis shoes. I have like a bazillion pairs of all.  And most are scattered around my room. And I have a tendency to spend money on metal and ink when I know its available to blow. Just ask Discover card.

I think Geese made the best point. smile  Women are insane. Men are pricks.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

I suppose we are mental, generally speaking.  Men are visual creatures; women are not.  While a guy will justify his wandering eye using this point, he has no idea how much it hurts to watch your man checking out that girl at the mall you KNOW is hotter than you.  That doesn't justify a woman's going nuts on the poor guy, either.  But be aware that it does hurt.  We just don't have the same tendency to be looking all the time at cute guys.  I will admit that most women are f#@$ing nuts.  I will admit that most men are womanizing pricks.  I just hope that the nuts and the pricks end up together and make each other miserable.  It's taken a few years but I have learned to control those nasty things like jealousy and my husband is very happy with my non-crazy self.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

I guess this was both a telling point for me, in that I could understand the emotion behind it.

But, it is also something that I want to argue, because it presumes that "looking hot" is the end all and be all of being a woman.  IT AINT. And it presumes that men are superficial.  There are 3 billion women in the world and most of the are in one way or another beautiful. (yes, there are exceptions, but they may have a great personality  wink )

I guess I am trying to say, that in some way that girl across the mall might be pretty, or even perfect ... that does not make her perfect for your man.  The combination of personalities, mutual interests, life goals, sexual attraction, everything really, is what makes people perfect for each other. 

Looking at someone is nothing close to the same thing as building your lives together.

people that build their relationships on nothing more than "They are hot" are the ones who make the divorse rate so high.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

That's why I say things like "most" and generally".  Not all men even do that; and it isn't a relationship threatening thing...but can become so over time if not addressed and handled properly, just like any other issue.  I think about it less and less, but whenever I think my husband is checking out some girl he's actually just checking out something else superficial...computers and anything related to Sci-Fi.  When I commented to his mother on how he doesn't have that wandering eye she told me he had said he really thought I was the most beautiful woman in the world.  And it's not like I ever told him, "don't you ever look at another woman other than me!" because that is unrealistic and stupid.  I know I'm being mushy, but I think some members of my gender need to chill out before they attack their partners over trivial matters and concentrate on the hard work a relationship requires if it is worth bothering with.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

I dont usually care if they check out girls in public, I am one of those that does it too and points em out.  I dont like a guy who belittles me in public then when we are alone tries telling me that those same things he just said he hates about me are what makes him love me. "That girl probably doesnt have any tattoos" "Oh I love that tattoo, so sexy" *rollseyes*

I also have a problem with guys who are constantly online checkout out webcams and stuff like that, my ex did that constantly. Its how he met the other girl. Ironic.

Not all guys are a waste of my air. But there's alot that I haven't met yet to prove that theory is correct.

I can't believe I'm reading this crap...  and I CAN'T BELIEVE how much I'm enjoying it!

Haaaaaa!!!!

There's a great quote from Chris Rock...  can't recall it exactly, so I'm paraphrasing:

Any man can walk up to another man, and regardless of the race, religion or culture of either...  if the man says "women are just messed up!" he's found a friend.

It's soooooo true!  Not that we aren't bizarre in our own way.

Funny how all the men in this thread are bitching and moaning about women, and it never occurs to them that maybe they should take a little responsibility for the psycho women they chose to be with.

Most of us do, they transform later little by little though. They start off fine but as they get comfortable with you they slip into mental mode. When they see you're PW'd it's all over. Seriously.  Then if you're stupid enough to actually MARRY them the real "fun" starts because they know they have you by the short hairs. Want even MORE fun? Have a kid with them before it's over, then being screwed is a complete understatement.

Marrage is an institution and you have to be crazy to be in an institution.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

It all depends on what your packing downstairs. It effects from what side  of the fence you look out from and view things as being "screwy".

I think both sexes are capable of being plenty f*cked up at times. But as a guy I find it to be more on the female side. I dated quite a few nut jobs in my time and as mentioned earlier, they all started being pretty normal. Once you both get comfortable you let more of the "real you" out I guess.

My last girfriend Hated fish. Despised the look, smell, taste of any fish. Her favorite resturant? RED LOBSTER! We always had to go there! And then she complained if I ordered anything with fish in it!  confused

I always figured that the reason you often get blokes complaining about how mental women are is because women are the gender they most often want to stick their willy in.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

Yeah I would dump on women, but I am in therapy because of one so my opinion is extremly biased (poor me smile).  But I will say this, there isn't anything better than waking up next to someone you love and who (you think) loves you.  Maybe its (was) an illusion but I hope to get back to that illusion some day.

PS Woman are allowed to be intuned with their emotions and Men have been brainwashed into suppressing theirs (that is a generalization of course).

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

On men/women and getting hired for jobs.

In my experience, if a woman is hiring, and one of each sex goes for the position, if they are both qualified, the woman will get it. Women just enjoy working with other women more.

If a man is hireing, and one of each sex applies for the position, if they are both qualified, even to the point of the man is 110% qualified, and the woman 90% qualified, if the woman is even mildly attractive, the woman will get it. Men like to be around hot women. That she can do the job is a bonus.


No one ever tied the claim of 'slept their way to the top' for a man.

Sadly, in my job field, I've seen toooooo many times, where two people went for a position, the one with the tits and long blond hair got the job.  And these were all computer tech/help desk positions.

         One time, it was a tech job position, the girl had a degree in 'networking' and had NO tech experience at all, even to the point of having to ask questions on how to install programs, whereas the other person going for the position had no degree, but had been working part-time at that job for 4 months, had already worked on the machines, knew the people, knew the job, knew where the buildings were, had ALREADY shown that he could handle the job easily, and had at least  5 years experience with being a tech, knew mac/windows/'nix. The woman knew barely windows alone, what she picked up in the networking classes.  The person hiring was a woman.  The blond was a shoe-in. Infact, when she was hired into the full-time position, the male tech, who was part-time had to train her. He was asked, to train the person that took the position. Because the people who hired her needed her trained. Think about that. He was VERY ANGRY. "Please train this person who needs training because she is obviously not capable of doing this job that you have been doing for months, so you can continue to get paid at less than half of her pay, and you're only allowed half of her hours, ect.

as a side note, that woman, quit 3 months later, so she could get paid 2k more at another job that she ALREADY applied to before this tech position, she was just waiting for it to go through. She was married and her husband was making good money.

The male tech NEEDED that job, and at the time his roommates had moved out, and he couldn't afford to keep his apt if she stayed at that job. He would have had to quit and get a fulltime job somewhere else.(we found out later it was true, she was hired because the 'upper management' wanted a nice pretty smile to go to the 'important clients', not some overweight guy who has stubble')


Women can claim all day that they get paid less than a man at the same position(if they are right or wrong, it doesn't matter).

But how many men do you see going to interviews with the top buttons on his shirt open, and a short kilt on, and almost guarrantee himself that job?(outside of the chipendales(sp))

No, I don't hate women. Yes, I am engaged. And my fiancee will happily agree to everything I just said.


{ps: she also uses the 'pronoun' thing too. 'We need to go to the store=You need to drive me to the store'

I love her, and will marry her  ;P

just a view from my experience

The very fact that women are being hired for tech jobs is a smurfing victory in my opinion.  The system isn't perfect but at least it's opening up.

You're right, it was much harder for a woman to get a job as a computer tech back in the 20's and 30's.   tongue

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

Women just enjoy working with other women more.

I don't know where you get that info, but this woman prefers to work with and for men. The women in my office are catty, petty and spend so much time being self-involved that they wonder why they can't get any work done. Then they blame other women in the office and it becomes a vicious cycle. I bet more women feel this way than they let on.

I met my husband in the workplace. Most couples meet there. Because of the time we spend at work, it is natural to form friendships that might lead to more serious relationships. That is part of being single and employed. Since I met my husband, the stress of working with men has totally disappeared. Before then, I felt many times that my opinions and feedback regarding projects was undervalued  mad and that perhaps I was not being taken seriously as I was a single young woman with hardly any commitments. Don't get me wrong... I am not fighting the feminist battle; I stick to my own battles and come up with solutions as they come.


If a man is hireing, and one of each sex applies for the position, if they are both qualified, even to the point of the man is 110% qualified, and the woman 90% qualified, if the woman is even mildly attractive, the woman will get it. Men like to be around hot women. That she can do the job is a bonus.

I will agree with you on this one. I have seen examples of a male manager filling his staff with eye-candy.

I had exactly that situation at my previous job. We had a barely post-teen smurf there who would mess up databases and the like (causing the other women to waste days of work repairing her mess), yet the guys in management loved her because she'd parade around half-naked all the time. It was funny watching the fat balding old men take detours to walk past her cube just to peer down her blouse.

Nasty, spoiled, self-important little snip she was; everyone hated working with her (or rather, working late so we could finish projects she'd messed up), she spoiled morale, and yet she had great job security. I think she eventually quit to work as a "cocktail hostess" (stripper) somewhere.

Re: Women, they are Mental. Post your experiences here...

I don't know where you get that info

I work with about 1,000 women, daily(not all of them at once mind you).  My department is headed by a woman. From there it is broken down into a couple main sections. One of them, the helpdesk, is headed by a woman, and the systems team(which covers the networking, techs, mainframes, etc.) is also headed by a woman.

I got the info from them.
