Quote From: killerb255Are you lumping all men into the same category? If so, that's the wrong way to handle this, and you've basically become a sexist. (Sexism doesn't just refer to men stereotyping women, ya know...) I'm a guy, and I'm actually offended by that statement.
I understand that your husband was a jerk, but don't use him as the absolute benchmark for all men out there. Not all of us judge women solely by looks.
...then again, from what I've seen, the few men, such as myself, that aren't so shallow are often depicted as "dorky," "unattractive," or "weak-spirited," as opposed to "agressive," "popular," orotherwise "attractive."
I agree with you! Women stereotype just as much as men...and women often times refuse to see the good in a person because they have an ideal - physical type....Well this is just as bad as what we women claim men to do....
I used to only date the man wiht the obviously cut bicepts, buldging pecks...etc...never worked out...I met my fiance in a coffee shop..completey unexpected....His fitness level wasnt' obvious...but was obvious was his intellegnce, he beautiful green eyes, contagious laugh, and amazing knowldege about what seems ot be everything! We spent everyday after that togehter...it was a HUGE bonus when i discovered a few months later just what was rally under that shirt! :) Moral of the story...stop judging a book by the cover - - (excuse the cliche) To boot...he treats me every day, like I am a precious gift to him...
