Don't cry because it's over. Laugh because his new girlfriend looks like a horse.

You are being such a nag. If you had any horse sense you would know she is a thoroughbred and he isn't hung well enough. Could end up a photo finish. But i wouldn't bet on it.

Laugh because his new girlfriend can't cook.
Laugh because his new girlfriend drives a smart car.
Laugh because his new girlfriend writes shitty poetry.
Laugh because his girlfriend has no taste in men.
Laugh because his new girlfriend can't handle her liquor.
Laugh because his girlfriend add your own reason here.

Not everyone gets my humor. I'm aware of that. But, it's just intended to be humor based on a ridiculous cliche'. It's not a statement about what's important in a woman. I'm a far more complex and sensitive human that this little snippet implies.

@Duke i did recognize it as an attempt of humor. i am telling you that because it was sexist, it failed with me. i GET your sense of humor. i did not laugh at this particular manifestation of it. if the humor was based on and LAUGHED AT a ridiculous cliché it would be funny. instead, it was just an example of it. i take your word for it you are more complex and sensitive than the snippet implied and am glad to hear it.

@genessa I took no offense to your comment. I hope you took no offense to my post. I often irritate someone with my humor. And if I said "Don't cry because it's over. Laugh because her new boyfriend looks like a horse." Would it still be sexist? Or, is it only sexist because it was phrased in the opposite direction?

No. Truthfully, for me it is intelligence. I learned this term on this site, and include myself as a Sapiosexual.

@Duke okay that's weird, i know i've been distracted because my guy is in the hospital, but i could swear i answered this, and said that yes, it would be sexist, or at least wrong, if it were reversed, but not as much, because men are judged less for their looks than women are. but i can't find my comment. pardon me if it's there and i'm missing it. i probably put it better originally too. ah well!
