Now I’ve heard everything:
I am a moron and incredibly inept [with] women but I do actually understand them (it’s a gift; and a curse)  ÂÂ
AoS: Vagina Friendly Blog? Ace among the “nonline”: in like Flynn Nagin?

I didn’t get all the way through that so I went to the summary at Villianous Co. and that was even more of a slog so I went to the Little Miss Attila post that was supposed to be where this started. I return to you with a renewed appreciation of the unparalleled brilliance this blog offers on its slowest, dullest, mostest navel-gazing day ever. This blog. This one here. The one what I’m typing on. Not those other ones.
whinger.
whingeresque.
whingeresque obloquies.
Well, I reproduced what I thought the most interesting part of it was.
Ace in one of his sensitive, 70s, Alan Alda phases, brrr!!!….
So far as men are concerned, it’s quite simple. Imagine yourself being mugged. The sooner you shuddup and hand over your wallet, the easier things will go.
You did good Dan.
Smart women fuckin’ hate me. Which, for me, is just another reason to fuck their brains out.
I’m still trying to get a grip on the fact that someone was offended by something they read at Ace of Spades HQ.
I mean, it’s just boggling. It must have been their very first visit.
It’s a moronblog. moron blog. mor on blog. No matter how many signs you put up, sooner or later some tourist is going to walk into the quicksand.
Wha..?
I actually felt more bad when the other day we were talking about Hagee, who is like a really fat guy, and I didn’t want other fat people to feel impugned but for Hagee, it seemed really relevant cause he’s like Boss Hogg fat and looks sort of cartoony cause he dresses like he’s totally unaware of his corpulence, and for real I think that limits the mileage you could get out of him as far as tarring anyone with his views goes.
Ace isn’t getting to that “1 in 5” stage, is he? Unplug that box and go to Paris for a few days. A beautiful city, for the most part, still.
Any man could understand women, if 95% of what they say weren’t about “feelings” and “relationships” and “taking out the garbage.”
What’s up with that $#!+, anyway?
Hagee looks like, as a kid, he could have starred in a live-action movie of the Katzenjammer Kids.
You aren’t going to find a more get-along, friendly, intelligent woman overflowing with an abundant sense of ironic humor than Attila Girl. I feel honored to count her among my flesh friends.
But she was annoyed and tired by yet another thread of male commenters going on and on and on about the fuckability of particular females.
Scratch that. Not females but flesh dolls … vaginas with arms, legs and boobs.
And it was the tone that gets tiring. Satirical comments or over-the-top parody is one thing. But the comments weren’t being offered in fun, but in the serious group non-think one finds in a mob egging on a suicide to jump from the 10th floor.
My whole life I’ve been friends more with men than women. I “get” males, (most of the time). AG and Cass are very much like me. And there just comes a time once in a while when we want to poke our males friends in the ribs and say “uh, hello? do you remember that I’m a woman too?”
Comes a point, when that sort of thing needs to dissipate. Unless it’s an all-night card game, then the smoke just needs to dissipate.
When you’re done ranting, if you’ll just reach down and grab the hem of your skirt and lift it all the way up until it covers your face, I’ll be able to try out my new 10-Giga pixel digital camera.
thor
did you say something, dear?
Gotcha. Heehaw.
The “stupid man, put-upon woman” meme has completely overrun what was once a male-dominated society. The pendulum passed the middle some time ago and, at least for my lifetime, men have grown up with the message that they’re the bad, weak, incompetent ones. School shoves it at us, TV and Movies… (watch, I mean really watch TV ads for a while – is there a more common meme there than “stupid man, smart woman?”)
The juvenile objectification on blog comments is just men’s way of “lying back and enjoying it.”
TV and movies are kind of a “scorched earth” of objectification anyway – but when they do take sides, it’s almost always The Bad MAN who gets the target painted on him.
You will also notice that men have a somewhat stronger tendency to define someone’s worthiness in a “gives as good as they get” sense, so that commenters like LauraW and alexthechick at AoS are well-respected (in general) because they do, in fact, give as good as they get.
But the more focused point is what I said earlier – offended by AoS? WTF? This is a place where poeple (satirically) blame Scandis and Seahorses for all the worlds’ ills and routinely discuss the most effective ways of slaughtering hobos and disposing of their corpses.
Hello?!?!
I recommend that we don’t let what we see on TV & the movies dictate how we treat each other here, in our level digital playground.
I like the Attilagirl. I imagine it took quite a bit, but it’s not always possible to gauge people’s intentions or reactions in comments. I know that on occasion I’ve unintentionally pissed people off.
Bite me.
That’s the best way.
But then, I’m anti-social.
Yeah, well: I was having a day.
After five years of blogging, I think I’m allowed. Anyway, I did what I did.
I’m normally pretty tolerant, but I did indeed overreact, and I think I caused a lot of stress to some others in the process.
I’m not proud of myself, FWIW. But I clearly need to cut down on the amount of time I spend at some of the “edgier” sites out there. So I’ll come on back here, where things are polysyllabic and safe, and no one is pretending to understand me, and no one is assuring me that men are really “simple creatures.” (Yipes; does it get more anti-male than that?)
I really don’t have the inclination to try to sort out what this is all about, mostly because I really like and respect everyone involved so I don’t much care, but I will say this: If you got to where you are in life primarily because of your looks… well… what goes around comes around.
This, of course, is the unbiased opinion of an ugly ass musician who never managed to make the big time.
Well, Moe–maybe. But I would have spent my teenage years homeless if I didn’t look good. As a matter of fact, I’d probably be dead by now.
I prefer my bitterness to be guilt free, so I am ignoring the last comment.
Why? Men really are simple creatures. Of course, our design is complicated, and so is the brain and so on and so forth – but the abstract being we term ‘man’ is a simple creature. We were made so. Sex, food, a stimulating conversation, sex, drink, sex, appreciation for the work we get done in and out of the house, food, did I mention sex? Modify for religious beliefs (going to church with me ranks up there next to monogamous adventurous hot sex from foreplay onwards), but otherwise! I expect even gays would agree with me here.
And I mean, come on. Ace. You know I don’t visit dKos and HuffPo and Andy Sullivan and allathat crap out there precisely because I know it would just kill me. Deader than a doorpost dead. So, why visit AoSHQ if it’s not your cup of tea?
You know what? I’d be pretty chuffed if womenfolk oohed and aahed over my pictures and said Bunk! or I’d hit it! and stuff. Not so much if it was men, true, but if it was a really good-looking, androgynous (or downright effeminate) – well, you get the picture.
Of course, seeing as I weigh a good 250lb, those responses are *not* what I’d expect. And hence, I don’t post my photos ON THE INTERNET. Not for another year or so while I burn those pounds off, anyways.
“Sex, food, a stimulating conversation, sex, drink, sex, appreciation for the work we get done in and out of the house, food, did I mention sex?

How funny. Those are the things I want, too.
In the line of AoSHQ Lifestyle… Bunk!
So… wanna meet up? :)
Seriously, though, men and women really do have different thought processes. Very different. We may *want* the same things, but oh boy the way we go about obtaining them. The Chinese have a saying you know, ‘As the Heavens from the Earth’. That’s how different we are.
Well. I think this thread is pretty much milked out.
I have only recently read over at Attilla Girl’s site, and she seems pretty cool. I suspect she is pretty hot too ;-) , but I could be wrong. Anywho, everytime I have seen her round here, she has been enjoyable, so I would guess that since I know none of the other folks, other than the AoS folks, what she says is good enough for me. Especially the sex part. And the food part. And sex. And, Kyoto.
For someone who calls himself after Jack Daniels, you sure don’t do much drinkin’, do ya? :)
And I was the one who started out with food and sex and all that. I suspect that at least some straight guys would do gays, if the gays in question were really, really good cooks*.
*And plied lots and lots of drink in the equation as well, of course.
I dunno. There isn’t anything I’d want to do that would require another man (except maybe to hold the camera). Would it be okay if I let the gay guy do the cooking and I did his sister instead?
