I approve of men saying stupid stuff.

It allows natural selection to take place.

From my experience men who talk the most BS tend to get the most women.
Quiet intellectual introspective men, not so much.

Men are incredibly simple-minded. Natural selection is driven by women, because they have what men will do anything to get. If women want men to be like Labrador retrievers, all touchy-feely, roll over on their backs while women rub their bellies, then men will act like Labrador retrievers. If women want men to be macho Telly Savalas dudes, then men will be macho Telly Savalas dudes. If women want stupid men, then men will be stupid. It's really that simple.

I have known very few men to be that accomodating. Most insist on being themselves and then develop a bad attitude about women who reject what they are. Some are perfectly acceptable human beings, thankfully.

I think you’re going males a disservice here.

Perhaps your just a poor judge of character when it comes to choosing which men to have in your life.

But he may be complying with the OP.

Now, here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Dreams: Nicks

Yes, a woman said that, not a man.

Aaaand some say stupid stuff like this.

Thanks for validating what I said in my post that you quoted.

Yes I credited her in my post, did you not notice?

His speculation makes sense, and certainly isn't "stupid", even if it doesn't apply to you.

Based on what you wrote, I’d say there is a high likelihood that you have made poor choices regarding which men to allow into your life.

It might be wrong and you have just been unlucky, but I don’t accept the premise “unlucky in love”, it’s down to judgment.

My point is that a man wouldn't/couldn't say it.

Nonsense. The Stevie Nicks lyric has unisex application.

Perhaps the man she is referring to in the lyric made as poor a judgment of her as she did of him.

Unlucky?

Hahahahahaha... I have known a great many men in my life. The number I would consider keepers, I could count on one hand. I was honest and accurate with my assessment of "most men".

I will say however that I do appreciate that most men will reveal themselves in the first date.

Baloney.
