Actual discussion taking place on Reddit’s Men’s Rights subreddit

Look, even imaginary people have feelings.

87.6% of men will in fact keep fucking that chicken, even when presented with an alternative duck. TRUFAX FROM MY ASS.

@Belledame222: most of the rest of the menz are beating that dead horse.

I’ve decided to start announcing it on Manboobz every time I get laid. It’s just a part of life, folks, people talk about this stuff all the time! Why are y’all so uptight? I think I’ll do it Hasbro’s Clue style. It was the boyfriend, in the bed, with the rabbit vibrator!

When smoking was banned inside public places here a few years ago (6 or 7 maybe?) the people who were most concerned were bar owners, who believed it would drive away a significant portion of their business. It didn’t; many smokers still come and smoke outside even in the depths of winter, and — like DSC said — people who either didn’t like or couldn’t handle the cigarette smoke are much more likely to show up.

You’re supposed to get undressed?!

Yeah, I totally get banning smoking for the sake of removing fire or health hazards. I just think saying someone can’t have a cigarette in the open air when they’re not standing anywhere near anybody, or if they’re in their own car that happens to parked at a hospital or a school is a little much.

Of course, I’m speaking from the perspective of never having had asthma or allergies, so maybe I’m just being ignorant, I don’t know. I’m glad people can’t smoke inside hospitals or restaurants or public schools or whatever. I just think we need a better compromise over the outdoors.

That being said, people who toss their cigarette butts on the ground piss me off too.

Lauralot: LOL at The Snuggie Sutra.

@Pecunium: Again, my argument isn’t “every single man will take the younger women over the older woman”.

It isn’t about starting a relationship. We are taking about attraction, not relationships. You know, that thing that people have PRIOR TO starting a relationship with someone. Attraction comes before relationships. Relationships are started when people are attracted to one another.

Basically Brandon is arguing for the sake of arguing, as usual. Not worth engaging with unless it’s to mock.

Ok, back to the principle of, “Brandon’s Greatest Hits”, where (as we did with marriage) remind him of what he said, so he can pretend it means something else.

But everyone else (who may have lost track in the all the story switing and goalpost moving) can see just what he said that, as opposed to what he’s telling us he means now.

It’s that a lot of women equate more money with more safety and stability.

A lot, got that. A lot

In response to that being challenged we see, . But again, it is foolish to think that NO women value safety, security or stability from men or society at large.

So a lot equal some… a percentage which is described not with any sort of reference, just Brandon saying that we would be foolish to think no women value safety, etc., and that we have to assume they will look for a rich dude to provide it.

Again, this isn’t about looks or money overriding peoples ability to reason or critically think.

Ok… so let’s compare that to the set up; the things he said which he’s trying to backpedal away from now.

The point is that if you compare one woman at two different ages, more often than not, men will find the younger one more attractive. There are always exceptions that deviate from the standard (i.e men that like chubby and/or older women). With 3+ billion men on the planet, you can always find the exception to the rule.

So here we have it, according to Brandon “Young = sexy”, and it’s so strong a trait that one has to sift among more than billion men to find the exceptions.

Except, that it’s not. He admits later, when pressed, that it’s not that hard to find men who aren’t saying, “all I want it is a young hottie”. He’s changed his tune to “a bare majority”, maybe even just, “a lot” (we don’t know where he’s getting these numbers because he expects us to do the work for him, while he sits back and has a beer and watches the game. Brandon, the Manly, Freethinking Man, has spoken and it must be true, all we have to do is Google and it shall be made plain that Brandon knows all, and tells all.

Sort of like Chuck Norris.

So, what does this font of wisdom have to say about women’s attraction?

No where did I say all women were “shallow bints” that only cared about a man’s wallet.

Hrmn… let’s check the wayback machine:

The male corollary could be money (more specifically net worth). If you take the same man and show him with his net worth (say…$100K vs $1Million), more women would choose the higher net worth. Since it is the same man either way, the man with the higher net worth is just icing on the cake.

So women aren’t shallow. They just care about a man’s wallet more than anything else.

Let’s skip ahead and see the dancing as he’s called out on this one.

The two men aren’t the same…they have different net worth’s.

Didja see that? The two men start out the same. The money is just icing on the cake, but when he’s called out for saying women are shallow materialists the men magically become two different men, but; again, the only thing which has changed is the money: but he’s totally not calling women shallow, it’s just nature (like guys and youth… can’t be helped).

Never mind that the question is stupid… if you asked me would I like to be me and have more money, the answer is probably sure. If you asked my lovers if they would love differently if I had more/less money the answer would be no.

In all probability we’d not have met, if I had a lot more money than I have now, and almost certainly if I had much less. That’s because (as with age) people tend to travel in circles where the money is within an order of magnitude of themselves. I know a few millionaires, and a few people who are so poor they are barely keeping things together, but most of my friends are in the 40,000-150,000 income range).

Back the latest Dance Craze from Boston, Brandon’s Bob and Weave.

OMG, men have standards…holy shit! Cue feminist outrage because men have the audacity to see younger women as more attractive. It’s like feminists bitch about sexual objectification because men actually don’t see them in a sexual way. Jealously is a bitch, ain’t it ladies!

That’s the crux of it. Brandon doesn’t like it when certain types of stupidity are called out. He wants to argue that this whole thing (raising the age at which British women can enter a life of prostitution) is a blow against the rights of men, effected only because women are jealous of 18 year-olds getting paid for a quickie in the corner.

But he doesn’t look down on women, oh no. He just hates the nasty feminists because they are taking away his fun (or someone’s fun… unless Brandon has changed his mind and is planning to retire to Britain, instead of Thailand, this can’t affect him)

But this is his MO. Make an egregiously broad claim. Tapdance madly to try and convince people (who are quoting him) that he said something completely different, and then (when pressed into a corner he can’t back out of) get all passive aggressive and say, “You can look it up, I don’t have to prove anything to you.”

Which is true. He doesn’t. We, of course, also don’t have to take his word for it, because he’s not any sort of authority on this. He’s a 30ish OT guy from Boston, who has proven himself to be clueless, and wrong, on a host of things from marriage, to the law, to macro-economics. The breadth of his failed claims to knowledge is stunning. A veritable polymath of willful ignorance.

In a lot of ways he puts NWO to shame. He’s in the running for DKM status, in terms of what he doesn’t know about the functioning of his pet beliefs.

Like Meller, you don’t even have to wind him. He does that himself.

Maybe if you become a mangina you get entry into the female hive mind?

Viscaria: And he also failed to pay attention to what I was saying; taking my concerns about the structural problem in widely age-divergent relationships as a blanket condemnation of them; in direct contradiction of what I actually said.

It’s as if he doesn’t think anyone exists by Brandon, and only what Brandon says matters.
