and to any other unfortunate women who have happened to stumble upon this webiste -- i'd like to apologize on behalf of my gender for all the bigoted idiots shooting their mouths off about women lately.  and just as you remind us that there are  good women, cynbad, i'd like to respond by saying there are good men too -- ones who, instead of playing the victim and whining about how certain women have wronged them, have the integrity and self-respect to take responsibility for their own lives and not blame an entire gender for their problems.
There are no comments, leave a comment.
where is this coming from?   what are you talking about?
even tho lol there are some good folks who have good people in their lifes their isnt always a way for self respecting to come and encounter all of these bad or basd lol posts to come along and turn a whole peoples against another peoples is what i think briadsboy is saying because they have a good point to.
no worries!  just a couple of bitter apples there.
i learned a long time ago that no one else is responsible for my happiness but me.  some people have yet to learn that.

either you can spend your life angry and bitter, or you can take responsibility for your own happiness, and just do what you want to do in life.
apoligize for what?

why does cynbad get special treatment? thats the whole problem women getting prefenetial treatment.

jv'
i'd be careful, cynbad.
it sounds like he's trying awful hard to impress you.
yea, im in love with her.
"have the integrity and self-respect to take responsibility for their own lives and not blame an entire gender for their problems"

     (i of course don't blame an entire gender)

"either you can spend your life angry and bitter, or you can take responsibility for your own happiness, and just do what you want to  
do in life"

     (true, but i want my kids & family life back! and my $)
oops scot, i didn't see your message in time!
