Um, no. You want to know why? Because after i posted the obvious, the only people who jumped on me were scorned, bitter men. No women agreed (check the reblogs if you don't believe me) so dont go acting all victimized and pathetic over one person's opinion on attractiveness.

Though posting my observation was one of the best things i've ever done because it showed that for everything women do (ie. complain and get hysterical) men do just as good a job at it - if not better.

Essentially all the men who reblogged are crying about the fact that someone on tumblr doesnt find them pretty enough. Hahaha. Boo hoo?

Ahh. Down to earth, no, that's different. Personally i think most women are batshit crazy and pretty high maintenance. But better to be batshit crazy and goodlooking than batshit crazy and oooglay, right?

But see, i've had sex with many a man who wasnt all that goodlooking (ok, not that many, oh ok, a few) based totally on personality alone. All men need is great personality. Women are completely besotted by great personality. But on the occasion i have bedded a very attractive man i have just wanted him to shut up and not talk so as to not 'ruin it'. But you get that. Haha.

Sometimes all a person wants is to look at pretty people. No touching, no talking, just gawking. Men get to do loads of gawking (on the opposite sex.) Oh to just have something nice to look at. But who do we have clogging up our dashboards? Jakob fucking Lodwick with his shirt off. Ewww.

I dunno. I just think if i was a man i'd be really happy with my options. And when you consider the high caliber of girl out there who is not only very pretty but whip smart and funny, as a man, i would feel pretty spoiled for choice.

What do men care if they're good looking or not? They're still gonna get laid. They're still gonna be able to get a girlfriend based on personality alone. So god knows why the dudes of tumblr are getting pissy at me.

I absolute 100% agree with this comment and it's what i've been trying to get at with my posts but you've said what's been on my mind far more thoughtfully and with more detail than i could have.

Though it pisses me off that to reblog and comment with a dose of reality somehow makes me less of a feminist than the original poster and all who agree with her.

Oh, and just to reiterate, i did not mean simple as in "dumb" or "ignorant"i meant simple as in "straightforward." It was in no way meant to be an insult and mostly just pertained to the subject of fashion and clothes. It's hard to get a point across without resorting to generalisations and assumptions but i tried my best.

Eh. I spent a good chunk of my teenage years trying to be this feminist wonderwoman who wore whatever she liked, spoke up when possible, tried to educate her male friends, and didnt take shit from men. Looking back it was really rather pointless because it's not really about what's wrong or right it's about someone's opinion and beliefs. Just because i want to be right doesnt mean i am right. There are lots of men totally opposed to the feminist way of thinking and their opinion will never be changed no matter how loud our voices or how hard we rock a short skirt.

Men will respect a girl who respects herself and that generally means covering up. But you know, when it comes down to it, who cares about earning their respect. Who cares about what they think. And this is why i think it's just better to ignore than to try and confront and educate because really it's quite time consuming and frustrating and they're entitled to their opinion and beliefs anyway.

Hey, i meant simple in the nicest possible way. Simple as in looking at a girl and thinking whether she's hot or not or judging whether she's revealing too much just as you have demonstrated in your comment about "tranny hookers".

The opposite of 'simple' would be taking the time to wonder why she's wearing that particular outfit, wondering who the designer is or where the outfit came from and whether it worked together and concluding that it's a very good look for summer '08, etc. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i really dont think most (straight) men think that way.

Anyway. Now that that's cleared my big question is just how does one go about combating and not accepting this kind of behaviour? No really. I'm not having a go, i just think if it was so easy to change men's minds and the way they think we probably would have already done it by now. How does a woman go about informing men that she is allowed to wear what she wants without them making any out of line comments? How do you combat bad behaviour?

I dont see fattness being in any way a positive thing. I don't think it's something women, if they are, should not be proud of. But what is fat? It's hard to say really because it's different for everyone. Obviously if someone is medically overweight that means they're 'fat'. But aside from this it's stupid for people to be judged on their weight. And i'm sick of this 'real women have curves' bullshit. No, REAL WOMEN do not ALL have curves. That in itself is upholding an unrealistic ideal. Women come in all different shapes and sizes. We know this. We see this every day when we leave the house. I disagree completely that larger women need more representation. To live in a world where women are judged solely on their personality and character rather than on their size (whether that be thin, curvy or obese) would be wonderful. That's what we should be aiming for.

Re: tumblinas. — The things we do to ourselves.

jessicalouise — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 05:08:16 -0000

I honestly think it's our culture that is to blame for these feelings we have in regards to relationships and 'not being chosen'. Like there must be something wrong with us and there isnt, it's just that movies and tv like to make us believe there is.

it's funny, i felt so much like you for the past few years. and i had resigned myself to the fact i'd probably end up alone with a house full of cats (hey, that could still happen to me. haha) but right now, what i have, is a nice surprise and a nice diversion.

you seem incredibly smart and articulate. i think this can only be a good thing when you find yourself sitting down and questioning your life and feelings 'cause you can break it down and get to the core of why you're really feeling that way. and it's good to know that you'll be strong and not cave to any ol' dude who will give out random affection cause as we all know there are girls who do and it generally does not bode well for them!

Oh hun, i know how this feels. <3

But here's my advice: WAIT. Don't give into those feelings, wait as long as you can. If there's anything i know about boyfriends and relationships is that it's never down to worthiness, it's all about luck. I have the most beautiful, intelligent, amazing friends and they're all single and it's only because they right person hasnt entered their life yet. And it really is all about finding the right person. They dont have to be OMGAMAZING but the chemistry has to be right and they have to treat you good. That is so important.

I got out of a pretty terrible intense mindfuck of a relationship a few years ago and i LOVED being single. Yes i craved a boyfriend now and then (c'mon, we all do) but i never wanted to trade in my singleness and indendence for a dude. Even just a few weeks ago i was saying i dont want to be in a relationship and ... now suddenly i'm in one. I ended up meeting the right guy. One who doesnt stifle me, one who treats me well, one i have amazing chemistry with and one whose personality totally compliments mine to bring out the best in me. And i feel so lucky.

So yeah. All i can say is hold out hold out hold out until you meet someone who's worthy of you. Because bad relationships are soul destroying and will damage your mental health.

Another thing you have to remember is even when you do find someone, if you already feel alone now, you will feel alone in the relationship. That feeling doesnt go away. I feel it even now. The only time it goes away for a split second is when you're in their company and even then it's easy to feel alone still.

Fill up on veggies. Seriously. Eat LOADS of them. Eat them with salsa because it's fat free. Protein will fill you up so plenty of fish (tuna) and lean meat. Legumes are really good too. Wholegrain bread is good too.

I don't find testumblrone offensive or anything, it's not that, i just dont find it funny. There's a massive difference between the two. It just kind of serves as a reminder to me (on occasion - depending on the post) that some men out there really do feel those things and they arent joking in the slightest about it. That, more than anything, just depresses me/weirds me out.

The funny thing about all this is that if it wasnt for testumblrone i wouldnt have all these new cool people to follow and blogs to read.

Nah, dude. Not bitchy at all!

jessicalouise — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:41:43 -0000

It is laughable that exists, and i'm glad you guys feel that way. Like i said on topherchris's tumblr i like to believe that tumblr is a haven away from the nastiness that's out there in real life/internet and really, it is, it's an oasis.

I think i'm just feeling a little oversensitive about it because i encounter it so much in real life when it isnt a joke and have to pretty much ignore it and keep on truckin'. Intellectually i know i shouldnt care what they say because they are wrong, but yeah. It brings me down.

Wow. Could i be any more of a whinger right now? Haha. *pops balloon*

He's a sweet badboy though which makes him even sexier.

A whore with a heart of gold you could say.

be quiet, you!

one day you'll go underwear shopping only to find that all the boxers (or what have you) have in built gel 'support' and insertable fake penises, or be covered in Elmo print. just you wait. then you'll know my pain!

Nothing disappoints me more than a small weenie.

And you're right. I have small boobs too, but they're there, you can see them, i'm not hiding them by wearing waterbras or any of that other crap designed to make them seem bigger than they really are.

Re: tumblinas. - 39 men.

jessicalouise — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:51:05 -0000

I always thought men wouldnt be interested in some of the things we post about given that sometimes girlthings lead to *headaches* for them.

It'd be cool if they commented and reblogged though, if they were interested. I'd like to see a male tumblr group too.

I think people look better with tans if they have the right skin for it.

I'm as pale as a ghost and fake tans just look dumb on me so i try to embrace it but really i'm just jealous. Ha.

Dumb knows no gender.

Let's face it, some women, hell, maybe a lot of women are dumb, but we only have to look at men to realize we're not the only ones.

I don't know where she's getting the science from, because where i'm from girls are blitzing boys academically.
