Silent,
Thats just the typical response I'd expect from someone who looks at things from a typical, yet in my opinion irrational world viewed based on societal norms rather than logic. I say don't trust a woman, they will hurt you and the best interpretation you can develop is the typical "Oprah response" that it s my insecurity. You can attribute my statements to insecurity, but you have no evidence, since you have no knowledge of my personal life, that this is the case. However, I can support my assertions with what I see as reasonable logic.
I ask you bros, why is it that we tend to develop our closest friend ships very slowly and keep such relationships to a precious few. You know who your real bros are and they got to be your real bros b/c they've proven themselves time and time again. You've been there for them and they've been there for you. I ask why though we spend years developing these close bonds and are very unlikely to develop new bonds like this one b/c we know they are unique and hard to comeby YET we will give our heart over to some woman we barely know just b/c we've dated them for a few months and think we're in love. Silent Method, you can say what ever you want bro, but this isn't a irrational form of insecurity, its a fact. We spend years developing our network of close friends and family who we allow a degree of emotional access and allow a degree of vunerability, but when it comes to women we give them the keys to this kingdom without nearly the same degree of screening and caution. It a huge mistake guys make and we pay dearly for it b/c just like most guys aren't gonna be your best bro, most women aren't miss right, but since we don't have the same safety nets in place for the broads we end up at a great emotional risk and many times pay dearly. This isn't some manifestation of insecurity, its a very real problem and for my money, the solution is to not allow the women to get close enough to do the damage.
Silent Method, I am not a guy who minds people expressing views different and even contradictory to mine. I don't enjoy flaming people, or being flamed myself, but I get extremely bothered when I feel another board member does a poor job of processing the issues and ideas I've expressed and instead makes a mindless attempt to appear witty at my expense. Calling me insecure based on a few statements I made professing a distrust of women is your right bro, but what really bothers me is you ignored the actual point I was making about the vulnerable position we as men allow ourselves to be put in. I was trying to discuss a legitimate issue and problem facing men, but the best you could do is muster a half assed response to the most irrelavant part of my post, followed by made for tv advice on how to get over a break up. Next time, save your energy and skip the unnecessary jabs directed at members you don't know and who are simply adding to the discussion. I don't come on here to make smart ass comments about other bros, I come on here to offer advice on gear and receive some from time to time. I may not have too many posts under this handle, but I've been on these boards for a years and I've been in the whole game for a while. I come here for legitimate debate, learning and teaching, and I'm gonna do that that. I don't give a damn if all you can get out of my post is I'm insecure. Out.
