Women are human beings, therefore they like rubbing their genitals on other people's genitals just as much as men do.
Anyone pretending they know how anyone that's not themselves is thinking is pretty darn creepy. And yet, seems the world is populated by people who "just know better".LifeCharacter said:And, like always, men pretending they know how women think and feel is pretty damn creepy.
I hope you're not directing that at me?manic_depressive13 said:Ugh, it always disturbs me how readily people will rattle off gender stereotypes like they're facts. Anyway.
since when did men do that on mass, we've always had those adages and anecdotes about dudes just not getting women, ever. and more often then not the dudes i know just shrug and go back to our business, women are pretty fey at times to them. for me both sexes are pretty fey but at least dudes are simps for the most partLifeCharacter said:And, like always, men pretending they know how women think and feel is pretty damn creepy.
As with LifeCharacter, this. Disturbing amount of pseudo-biology going on.manic_depressive13 said:Ugh, it always disturbs me how readily people will rattle off gender stereotypes like they're facts. Anyway.
There's a lot more pressure on women not to be rude and aggressive, so women are less likely to check people out in a rude or aggressive way. Just because women don't smirk while they stare pointedly at some guy's ass doesn't mean they're not checking him out. Also, just because a woman isn't visibly repulsed by an ugly guy doesn't mean she's seeing his inner beauty or some shit. There's just way more pressure to be polite.
I don't know what to make of that.LifeCharacter said:Since a long damn time. I'm not sure how active you were at the time, but maybe half a year ago there were two threads, sex fantasies and power fantasies for women if I'm remembering correctly. I believe both (I know that the power fantasies one was for certain) was started by a man who proclaimed Bayonetta and Morrigan to be what he considered great female power fantasies and pretty much spent the entire lifespand of that thread arguing with female members of the Escapist who disagreed. And both of those threads had their fair share of people like that OP who came in to tell women what they should consider sexy and empowering.
Though you don't really have to go that far, there's plenty of people here, now, talking about how they know how women work and using plenty of pseudo-scientific nonsense like always.
Given you bring up hormones, I have some direct experience with this, and changes in hormone levels can do some crazy stuff. It is difficult to objectively assess your own behaviour, but given the correlation between when i've started and stopped certain kinds of treatments that mess with hormone levels, it's difficult not to notice how much effect it has on my feelings, particularly when it comes to how often (and how easily) I find things sexually arousing, (what kind of things arouse me can change too), and to some extent, how many agressive/angry I can get. (Though this seems more related to sudden changed in hormone levels than anything in particular)symphonymarie said:While I am always hesitant to make generalizations, I do suspect that this has quite a bit to do with hormones. I recall a study that mentioned women who are using certain forms of birth control tend to be more generally attracted to men, even those that they would ordinarily find "less attractive". Testosterone is a hell of a drug, and I suspect has quite a bit to do with the overtly sexual language and drive of gay male couples. (Again, generalization, but for the sake of posturing I have noticed this among many of my gay friends.) Essentially, my suspicion is that the difference in male and female hormones is what leads to this phenomenon. Personally, while I do of course find men attractive, it is extremely rare that this will have any influence on my behavior. I am also a bit of an odd bird in that it takes quite a bit to pique my interest. I'm sure it also has a bit to do with society, as well. To this day, the majority of my female friends with highly defined sexual agency is dwarfed by men who are comfortable with the same. Maybe in time things will even out a bit more!
(On the topic of sexuality in general, my friends do a Podcast and they had a guest who had some interesting things to say about this subject!)

I've heard several women waxing lyrical about collarbones.Saetha said:Oooh, and when a well-sculpted guy has an wears an open-collar shirt and you can just see a hint of his collar bone - also damn. Seriously I just want to reach out and pet it. So maybe women just don't oogle what you expect them to oogle?

Always struck me as an odd sort of thing to be attracted by. It would be like me getting all hot and flustered over some lass's elbows or knucklebones or something.
Yeah, I guess it is a bit weird... really, the whole neck/shoulders area can be pretty attractive. I think it's probably got to do with muscle definition - generally if a guy's in good physical shape, then the muscles and tendons in their throat and collar stand out more. So it's attractive because it's indicative of physical fitness.Zhukov said:I've heard several women waxing lyrical about collarbones.Saetha said:Oooh, and when a well-sculpted guy has an wears an open-collar shirt and you can just see a hint of his collar bone - also damn.
