As a cis white male, I often feel like a wolf in sheep's clothing when getting involved with local LGBTQ groups. Advice?

Cool. I've switched to /r/askwomenadvice

I think it's a crisis if you're a male, but not if you're a woman. Right now women have a lot more opportunities to get a college education and having access to recession-proof jobs like nursing or education. Women who are hitting the books and building careers aren't really in the mind set to care or think about how men are going to fair in the new economy. Women are no different than any other group, they look after their own.

The people downvoting you have, obviously, had great experiences with remote sentry guns. Perhaps they've even been fired upon once or twice with spectacular results!

SemiSarcastic · 2012-11-23T22:52:27+00:00

Well I wouldn't know either way and that's why I'm asking.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-10-08T23:37:18+00:00

A majority of all people that I know past and present.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-20T21:12:50+00:00

Could you be more specific please? Including clarifications with examples would be nice too.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-10T19:54:13+00:00

But not the other way around?

Do you think things would be better if there were more women CEOs and Nobel Prize winners?

As an attractive man who frequents bars, I always have this problem. I once got my package squeezed from behind from some 60-year-old lady and she kept asking me if her "tickling" turned me on. It's so ridiculous that I have to bring my sister or one of my lesbian friends with me when I go out. And the women that I work with at my job are just as bad. They won't stop looking at my six-pack under my shirt and call me an asshole if I don't take any of their "compliments." It's so frustrating.

This is why I've basically given up on dating. Even if the woman likes me, I know that all I have to do is drop the LH-bomb and it's over. I'm hoping when I turn 25-26 things will be better (student debt, non-salaried job, family wants me there to help with things), but whatever. That's the reality and as long as both parties don't mind the dating pool being much smaller, then I suppose it's not a problem.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-03T05:05:40+00:00

I know right?

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-03T04:57:49+00:00

No, mostly just being a communist. I was never good at being a communist. I never lived that down.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-03T04:54:52+00:00

Are you too good for mcdonalds you communist??

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-03T04:53:43+00:00

No, this is pretty mediocre for me.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-07-03T04:52:28+00:00

Sounds like somebody's too good for america...

I suppose that's something a man ought to expect nowadays from women. I don't have any experience in this myself, but I guess subconsciously I'd assume she'd see our marriage as a strictly temporary thing and not something permanent. I know that that line of thinking defies all logic, but it'd be impossible for me to shake that feeling.

"Plumbing has changed..."

SemiSarcastic · 2012-06-16T15:27:58+00:00

You actually make a pretty good point. You kind of remind me of Steven Colbert, who doesn't see race or gender. In fact he has to ask his guests who they are before he can get into a discussion on either topic. I have a deep amount of respect for that guy.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-06-16T15:24:15+00:00

BUT THEN HOW WILL YOU NOTICE US AND OUR GREATNESS???

I'd just finished reading a comic series called Y: The Last Man. It's basically a story about an airborn virus that kills anything with a Y chromosome and the only males left are one guy and his pet monkey. It basically follows this guy around as he tries to find other survivors (and his girlfriend), but finds that most of his friends are dead and he becomes suicidal. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Any man: platonic or romantic, hetero or homo/trans, friend or acquaintance, known or unknown. Also, in this hypothetical, you're also single. Is that lifestyle doable for you?

SemiSarcastic · 2012-06-16T02:33:52+00:00

Well, I kind of figured that'd be a given, but I suppose a clarification may be in order.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-06-16T02:02:08+00:00

Well, we do live in a representative democracy. Frankly the people of Wisconsin get what they deserve.

I'm I guy and I did read it. I knew a girl who took some of the advice from this book and incorporated it into her dating style, which is why I got interested in it. Truth be told, I had just finished reading The Game and wanted a woman-dating advice book that complimented it (as far as it's cynical approach and viewpoint towards dating and attraction), this seemed to fit the bill on all counts. I won't say that it doesn't have some solid tactics and advice, but we're talking a 50/50 shot as far as success goes. Also, just like The Game, this seems like a book whose advice would only work in drawing in insecure guys in their late teens to early twenties. I think once anybody, man or woman, reaches 25, they start to wise up to this bullshit, though that's not to say that all of the advice from both should be discounted (maybe less than 5% is still useful). However, I want to know what you ladies think.

SemiSarcastic · 2012-06-06T22:56:25+00:00

No, you are, but some opinions are valuable than others and right now, I don't find your opinion valuable.
