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.

Agreed then.

You’ve not been unlucky, just exercised poor judgment.

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

Thanks for playing.

You're mistaken. It's a sincere point and it's spot in. If his speculation is off-target, so be it.

Considering that I did not subject myself to any meaningful relationship with them, you're completely wrong.

Baloney.

Not at all. Read it again. Don't be so naive.

He's just wrong, as you are, but then, you have an axe to grind, don't you?

On second reading, baloney x 2.

I would say no, I haven't. But if you have to see it this way to rationalise our disagreement, do be it.

Maybe they just cooled off with you.

It's exactly what "most men" I referenced would say. At best, it's incorrect, to the point of bordering on stupid. It's assuming women can't make a proper decision about men.

No. Just no. That's all I'll bother saying about it.

Many women do not make "proper decisions" about men. And many men do not make "proper decisions" about women. Don't be so naive and doctrinaire.

Have you considered that your “honest and accurate assessment of most men”, that they “develop a bad attitude towards you” might have more to do with your judgment in selecting them as possible friends than it does with males as a general population?
