I was wallowing in man-hate recently when one of my friends asked me what was going on. "Nothing really," I told her, and just explained what women have known from the dawn of time: men are idiots. She's a lesbian and I definitely have my share of homosexual friends, male and female, and the same thing always happens if any of them overhear my woes about men.
"You should be a lesbian," they'll say to me.
Okay, that would be great, if I were attracted to women. And I never really know how to react when I get this lecture. I usually just roll my eyes because seriously, I wonder if it has ever truly worked. Has anyone ever really been talked into switching teams?
I don't think I'd have a problem except for the sex thing. Women are gorgeous, true, and I've been known to kiss a few here and there (especially after a few or more drinks,) but the sex thing. I don't think I'd be able to give that part up.
And I know it happens to guys, too--I see one of my friends give the lecture to hot straight guys often.
Have you ever been on the receiving end of one of these conversations? How do you react?

Umm... yeah. But I told her it would impossible for me because I am attracted to males and no matter how much of an idiot the ones I know can be sometimes... I don't think I can switch teams. Girls are pretty, but guys are seriously my cup of tea (: Couldn't even imagine myself bi O.o
I always get annoyed by women who make sweeping generalizations that "all men suck". If you don't want to be a lesbian or a/autosexual, stop complaining.
You don't need to change teams. You might want to adjust your attitude towards life, though.
People (men and women both) suck in general, but not all of them do. Shut up and search harder for someone who doesn't. If you still can't find any, maybe you should consider changing the kinds of individuals you hang around. And if even that doesn't work, maybe you're the one who sucks, and you're attracting terrible people into your life.
So women can't be mean too?
I'll go and get that datingish post I wrote, as a result of those conversations. (rummages through the internet) Eureka!

aww, men aren't idiots. i heart them.
My response: Yeah? Well women are bitches.
I chuckled when you asked me if I was on the receiving end. I'm just immature like that.
I've never been talked into switching teams, but that has never stopped my gay friends from trying to convert me. -_-"
I don't think it's possible to be talked into being gay..
My best friend is a lesbian. People question our relationship all the time and tell me she's a great girl (implying I should go for it) but I'm not sexually attracted to vag.
Also, I have a huge thing for boys with long hair. My sexuality is pretty much always questioned. I don't get all bent out of shape about it though.. I usually make jokes.
@LupusInvictus@xanga - @MissPixieGlitter@xanga - @methodElevated@xanga -
Thank you guys. Thank you so much.
@methodElevated@xanga - Correct.
lol .... i know what you mean, of course not all guys are idiots but we all have those moments where one of them has been a terrific one so we sit for a while and wallow in the generalization. but yeah, plain and simple: i dont like vagina. i dont think i would even be comfortable kissing a girl. blegh ... so. yeah, no.
one girl at my old job, i guess she was working at building her rep as "outrageous lesbian", and she used to try and make all the straight girls that worked there as uncomfortable as possible. i mean, im friends with loads of homosexuals, but i dont understand why anyone feels the need to thrust their sexuality in my face, or alter my orientation. its just not going to happen!
wooooh girls ready to do it.. You have the rest of the pictures?
J/K
Boys are mean and girls are souless cunts. We've all had our shitty experiences in relationships, homosexuals included. If the only important part is fucking than just get what you need and forget about the relationship part.
And to finally get to the question. No and I would be slightly offended. Homosexuals choice should be respected. But so should heterosexuals choice.
@methodElevated@xanga - Preach.
@methodElevated@xanga - Nailed it bro
I actually have come to offer a different perspective. Fed up with an ex-girlfriend of mine (who cheated on me with my brother, my cousin, HER "cousin", two neighbors, and tried to get with my best friend... all within a month of dating)... and I was propositioned by several of my straight male friends to "try the other side". And... well... I actually did, long story short I'm happily back to girls only again. lol. :)
(Just figured I'd add my two cents... Us gay girls get the same sort of things coming to us. :P)
@princess_trouble@xanga - I've heard of that happening too! One of my lesbian friends just went back to girls after something like that happened.
Each gender has it's problem- pick your nightmare and deal with it as best you can. Not one gender is free of all fault.
@The_Life_Of_A_Poet2@xanga - My coworkers used to make jokes, because when I was with my last (well, only "real" boyfriend, and not just "Friend With Benefits" of the male persuasion) I constantly said "UGH, he reminds me of why I like girls more." And then when I first got with my girl (now fiancee, as of the 20th :D a little shameless "yay me" right there haha) I said "Ahhh girls are complicated, I just remembered why I went back to guys." But in all honesty, I'm a much nicer girlfriend to a girl than to a guy, and I like myself a lot more. It doesn't feel like I'm lying. (:
...Oh wait. I just realized that this comment has absolutely nothing to do with the original blog. Hmm. Oh well, I'm in my own little world right now.
@princess_trouble@xanga - Lol, it's all good. I feel what you're putting down no problems- rambling or not.
No matter how true it may seem to you, not all guys are the same. They're not all idiots, and they're not all mean. Just like how girls aren't all the same, guys aren't all the same. All people have their own thoughts and way of living and treating others. Guys are people too.
*goes to find a nice guy and hugs him*yet so very true men are mean.
Ever heard of a strap-on?
Unless you love giving handjobs, giving head, or crazy sex positions that require lots of upper-body strength, there's not much sexually that a man can do for you that a woman can't.
Get creative.
People who make generalizations about others are just too weak and apathetic to really sift through the crap and find someone worth the trouble.
So the next time you find yourself wallowing in man-hate, take some extra time. It might be you that's to blame, not all the men in the world.
I know a straight guy who is constantly being bantered to join the other team. I just don't get that kind of mentality. You can't really help the fact that you're attracted to a certain sex.
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - @methodElevated@xanga - @LupusInvictus@xanga - Thanks for the excellent defense.
But I'm not going to be in denial, I know guys are well, guys. And we're all jerks. Women aren't the best either, because to counter us guys being low maintenance jerks, women are usually high maintenance and unreasonable. (or crazy, but there are other cases that are for both that don't come to mind, the list is endless.)
I can't seem to find a girl I'm interested in irl, but I'm not going to dismiss them and say that "There are no good girls." I find plenty on here who seem to be pretty nice and not crazy at all, so there's still hope I guess. I get misogynistic at times, and that is normal, but long story short, I'm not going to start liking cock because the chicks seem to fail.
