This is a confused, rambling off-topic rant which goes nowhere. I’d skip it if I was you.
I thought Erin’s attitude was interesting.
( If you’ve looked at the link and the posts you’ll see that I’m making huge, baseless assumptions about Erin. It doesn’t matter. I don’t think she’s a ’ real person ‘. Even if she is, she’s not, if you know what I mean. So I’m just using her as an imaginary example of a type. )
Let’s take Erin at face value: just hypothetically, let’s assume she really is a woman. Or a human being at all.
She’s quite sporty. She probably identifies quite closely with her body and appearence. She probably sees men in terms of bodies and appearances too. However ’ schoolyard-ish ’ her ideas about shoe-size/ condom-size correlations, to her strange kinesthetic style of thinking they probably seem quite obvious.
And she has no qualms about equating quantity with quality with regards to penis size.
Now, is her attitude really so awful?
Yes, it’s shallow. Of course it’s shallow. I personally would rather have knitting needles thrust into my eyes than date this woman. But then again, how many guys here have turned down a woman’s attentions because, frankly, she wasn’t pretty enough? ( As I thought, you shallow Hals…) Anyway, the point is that at least she’s *consistently* shallow.
Now, hypocrisy is something of a culturally taboo subject, and quite necessarily too, seeing that so much of our society is built on it. But we’re only using a tiny example here.
What about a hypothetical guy who tells a hypothetical girl : ” Before I have a relationship with you, tell me how much cellulite you have. I hate fat. Go on a diet and maybe I’ll date you. ” ( I think the penis size issue for men is more like the bodyfat issue for women than breastsize. )
Most women would rightly feel nauseated by this question/ comment, but in all fairness, any woman who would feel happy about being asked that, and who would respect the fellow’s ‘personal preferences’, and who recognizes this nonsense as reasonable and good, deserves to be as picky and Darwinian about men’s hypothetical penises as she likes.
At least our hypothetical woman isn’t being hypocritical about it.
There was a point I was working towards, but I forgot it. That always happens.
Anyway, I suspect there are a number of guys in here who are a lot more forgiving of women’s physical drawbacks than they are of their own. I’ve seen posts by guys who have been beating themselves up over a couple of inches of dick which aren’t there…( yet! ) And a lot of these guys wouldn’t dream of being as harsh on their ladies as they are on themselves. It’s painful to watch, but much more painful for them.
There’s also probably a few who judge women’s bodies much more harshly than they judge their own. Applying the same standards to ourselves as we do to others seems like a pretty rare thing.
Me, I don’t care that much about women’s looks - it’s always been about heart for me - and I still want eight inches of Jedi Light Sabre to swing with great Force. Maybe I’ve got more to prove than I thought? Whatever, there’s dick-stretching to be done.
Excuse the rant.
