You draw more, you make more as it should be. You don't pay attention do you? Neither mens or womens soccer can fill a big stadium in this country except maybe, during a world cup and that would be made up of fans from all over the world, not Americans. It may change someday.

@Namaste We all judge people all of the time.

We judge whether we are realy conscious of it or not. Judging people is just as important as judging situations.

I have never been attracted to a particular type of woman as far as shape or hair color or length. It has always been about the combination of intelligence, style, humor, and physical attraction. The physical attraction has been very fluid, but the rest not so much.

@Allamanda It is totally subjective. People are attracted to who they are attracted to for whatever reasons. Since human beings come in so many shapes, sizes, and personalities, it seems to me that is a good thing. Some women aren't attracted to me because I am bald, some because I am thin or don't have enough money. It doesn't bother me in the least. To each their own. It will NEVER change and I believe that is exactly the way it should be. :)

Soccer will not be on the minds of people in this country in a large way until the next Olympics or World Cup, and that is about national pride not because they like soccer.

I know as many women here who own their own businesses or manage businesses as I do men. Things are definitely changing for women. Men are still judged by what they make or what they do. I don't believe that will ever change, and men are still considered 2nd class parents by the court system. That is not going to change either. Such is life.

I believe men need women more than women need men. This may be another reason men are much quicker about getting back out there. Like you much of my thoughts are based on my experiences and observations. There of course have been plenty of studies about the differences in men and womens thought processes.

Yeah and what is up with the men partnering up again so soon. It happens a lot. I don't get it. Further proof that it is a mans world!! 🤬🤬 Not that I'm bitter or anything........

Sticks48 replies on Jul 4, 2019:

For me, if it was over, the best way to get past it was to start dating. It always worked. Why sit around and do what, ponder the past? It has nothing to do with being a man's world. Nothing stops women from doing the same thing except themselves.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 3, 2019:

I really like Harris. I think she would handle Trump in a debate better than any of the others. Watching what she did with Kavanaugh and Barr, she would destroy Trump. I believe she can handle the job of the Presidency.

Sticks48 replies on Jul 3, 2019:

@bobwjr The only way Trump wins is if people don't vote. White women need to wake the fuck up. They voted for Trump and Romney. I am tired of hearing how smart they are and then they pull that shit.

Sticks48 replies on Jul 2, 2019:

@Bigwavedave To a degree of course. That is part of the chemistry. Chemistry is not about physical attraction, although it is a huge part of it. It is about a lot of things. I won't date someone who is religious or votes Rebublican. That's about it.

There are women who enjoy that life. They don't want to work. My mother thought taking care of a house was easy. Like me she didn't like having a boss. She was the boss. She had a lot of free time to do what she enjoyed. There are way to many folks who think everyone should see the world the way they do. That's just silly.

Men do everything they do to get laid. True or false?

Sticks48 replies on Jul 2, 2019:

Totally agree. I see men say shit on here all of the time that is pure bullshit, trying to impress the women here. Thank you. I get just as tired of the women here that believe men and women should be the same and would be if it weren't for society, despite thousands of years of human history to the contrary.

@ejbman Same thing, but when it has happened there were signs. There are always signs. We sometimes like to ignore the signs something might not be quite right. If it's over for them, it's over for both of you. I don't need to spend too much time talking about it. That's just me. Letters work better anyway. A friend taught me that. Say what you have to say, no interruptions, no getting side tracked. They will always read it.

@Kojaksmom l agree. Whether it is about superiority or losing their control in so many areas of our society, many white folks, mostly in the South and Southeast, but in other states also, are feeling threatened. I have lived in El Paso and in Taos NM. I was in the minority in both of those places and never felt threatened in any way. If you treat people decently, l have found most folks will reciprocate.

The rich like tax cuts and deregulation. Too many of the poor are just not smart and look everywhere they can other than their own shortcomings to explain their lot in life. The Republican party feeds into that, becuase they know the stupid people buy into it. Why educated white women voted for Trump l have no idea. So much for education. Being a woman maybe you can explain that one. Of all of the voting blocks that is the one l don't understand on any level.
