It's not that sexist. I mean, you're only openly criticizing a woman for not patterning her behavior and projected sense of self around what you find particularly attractive. If anything, I'd say it's just as egotistical a statement as it is a sexist one.dilatedmuscle said:
It's not, but what if it was? Why does her look and attitude have to conform to my, or any other man's, expectations? I still find her attractive most of the time.mvsf1 said:
Is it? Boy, am I glad you came around to explain that, and in a totally non-insulting way too!dilatedmuscle said:

And you're totally entitled to make any comment you like, even stupid ones, as you're wont to do. In summation of the way this particular talk played out: you, I assume jokingly, pointed out that a statement you were making was sexist, to which I made a humorously-minded riposte calling it less sexist than egotistical. The link you posted as a retort was wholly terrible, and in juxtaposition, makes your initial stance, the not-exactly-sexist one, an acceptable alternative. I get that, though it's hard to tell whether or not that was intended seriously. Now, rather than launch into something that's further tangential to the topic and derisive toward yourself, I'll chalk all this up to mis-and-missed interpretations; you probably didn't realize I was joking in calling your statement egotistical, and furthermore, you probably weren't positing, at least intentionally, that matters of interpersonal indignities are okay as long as you're not the worst offender.dilatedmuscle said:
I'm glad you're willing to go so far as to make both what you're attracted to in women as well as your sexual orientation clear on a forum that's, essentially, a bunch of dudes. And yes, before you get huffy, this is a joke.dilatedmuscle said:
That's not the same thing at all.dilated said:
I wasn't purposefully trying to distort anything, though your question appeared more than a little loaded. Obviously, you posted that particular picture because you find something unattractive about it, and feel that I should/would feel the same way. However, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to find it unappealing from a physical, carnal sense, or because I don't like the airs she's projecting. This is why I gave you a nebulous answer. Do I think it's the best shot of her -- of course not. That doesn't change my overall opinion that she is an attractive woman though.mvsf1 said:
