Double standard, much?

My friend and I were at a bar and a group of men started hitting on her and talking dirty to her, I told her we could go if she wanted but she said it was fine. She started talking dirty to them back and they ended up getting all butthurt and didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, which upset my friend.

I’m not really sure I agree with this whole femininity and masculinity pitch that came up in the thread or the idea of people not liking to be upstaged. It might be closer to the point to say that dominant people are generally not attracted to other dominant people. Similarly, submissive people aren’t usually attracted to other submissive people.

Aside from that, there is that whole BS prejudice that men being sexual is fine whereas when a woman is sexual she must be used goods, thus no longer desirable.

This is nonsense that no one is saying. It's not about her being sexual. Her matching their masculine energy is a turnoff.

These are feminine/masculine dynamics.

Your whole feminine masculine dichotomy is outdated language/thinking that’s also not all encompassing 🤷🏻‍♀️ @SW-User

@WhateverWorks Lady, you pretty much said what I said with different words. Reality doesn't disapear because some of us don't like it.

No I didn’t because a dominant disposition or submissive disposition isn’t limited to a male vs. female issue. @SW-User

This post is about a male female issue though.@WhateverWorks

It is, but your explanation is sexist, not even in the insulting usage of the word, but in the literal definition. The reason for the behavior isn’t masculine feminine where guys are ABCD way and women are EFG. I don’t have anything more to say to you. We are not going to agree. I wrote to the OP, not you. I have zero expectation of being the person who gives you, some rando on the Internet, any sort of lightbulb moment @SW-User

@WhateverWorks LMAO! What's next, women have a womb is a sexist statement?😂 Yeah you made reference to my comment that's why I responded, I didn't imagine for one second you'd agree to simple common sense.
WhateverWorks · 36-40
That would imply that dominant/submissive is entirely biological, which isn’t true . False equivocal @SW-User
SW-User
That was not an equivocation but a mocking of the slippery slope that is the denial of simple common sense. Much like the biology deniers assertion that men can be women if they just feel it. My suspicion is that you believe that to be true@WhateverWorks

🙄 The slippery slope is hyperbolic, but more to the point, not relevant, and moving the goal post of the discussion to try to invalidate my position is also a weak stance. A womb is an organ. Submissive/dominant is a psychological disposition with hormonal flux, but widely observably evident is not ’because’ someone was born a guy or a girl as the defining factor. @SW-User

That was the intention.

Reminds me of a guy who wanted to argue with me about my discription of testosterone as a male hormone. Apparently not because women have small quantities of testosterone as well.

When you have to use hyperbolic statements that means that your actual point is too weak on its own feet, so you have to resort to embellished distractions 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your example about testosterone is a little closer to what we’re actually talking about, but still off because there are plenty (A sufficient sample size) of submissive disposition men and plenty of dominant disposition women where it’s evident whatever sex they were born with is not ‘the why’ they are the way they are as ‘masculine versus feminine‘. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Again, I have zero expectation of broadening your mind. We are however not talking about the same observation of human nature. @SW-User

@WhateverWorks Lady, I wish you all the luck in the world. Take care
