Indeed, mail-order brides from countries where women still respect men too. |

Nope because there are more willing Canadian guys who are sick of the BS from over here...

I agree.
"gold-digging ass", Jayx1? Equality? whoa, dude, settle down. I think you're projecting a bit here, lol. Nowhere does she at all mention, or even imply, anything about money.
Why I took from her post is that "it's the thought that counts" is a crock of ...and I fully agree in this case. That works for not-so-close friends, where an e-card might be a pleasant (or not) surprise...but if he's dating this girl, or trying to, I suspect she wants to see some EFFORT.
Instead of a few clicks of the mouse...why not put some time and thought into something. With friends for whom I wouldn't necessarily buy a gift, I do something cheesy...but instead of a simple e-card, I'd do something that will make them laugh...like photoshop a pic or something and really personalize it.
I'd post one I sent recently to a friend on his b-day, but it's not quite appropriate for public consumption, lol :p |

Yup respect is a two way street. I have no need for machismo but i have no need for feminism either.
Respect me and i will respect you. The End. |

A random E-Card is a nice gesture. A poem is a nice gesture. A cup of home made soup is a nice gesture.
If the ecard had a nice message in it written by him then it should be considered a sweet gesture. Hey, technology has enabled us to do this but it still doesnt give us the thought to use it. That thought has to come from within. And it's that thought that should count. It's almost as good as a phone call to see if she is ok. |

Difference is that the girl he sent it to doesn't know he's just trying to prove a point... We know it, she doesn't.
From her perspective, d!abolic has sent her a neat little e-card that he found and decided to send her way to help cheer her up. That, or she thinks "Damn, he uses e-cards? What a n3rd, DUMPED!", but that's not too likely... more likely she thinks he's up to something, since d!abolic is an ass and obviously wouldn't send an e-card of his own free will. |

Thank you :)
I can gaurantee all of you boys that I am indeed NOT a gold-digger. I have dated guys who scrape by each month with their last penny, and I have dated guys who can throw cash around no problem. To me, it doesn't matter, so long as the guy treats me right by being kind and thoughtful. If he respects me as much as I respect him, we will get along, and vice versa.
My ex had twice as much money as I had, but I still insisted that I payed for things, like dinner or the movies. Of course he would share the responsibility and pay for certain things too.
The whole E-Card thing is just very impresonal, and not very thoughtful. If he were really caring and concerned, he would have at LEAST wrote a quick e-mail telling her that he was worried about her and whatever. If you guys honestly think that an E-Card is an exceptionally nice gesture, you will have trouble keeping a girlfriend. And it isn't necessarily because they want you to be their ATM man slave.
It's because they will begin to feel that they are not important enough for you to even bother making an effort for them. Girls do things for guys that a lot of guys take advantage of. We try and be sensitive to you, and for me at least, I try to be very caring. If a guy I am seeing is sick, I will bring him soup. If he is tired, I will rub his back.
I have a lot more to say on this, but I need to go to work, so take care! Thank you to those who interpreted my post the way it was meant, and those of you who didn't quite get it, try losing your biased opinion of women, and THEN read my post. You might get it. |

And if you were my girlfriend id kick your gold digging ass to the curb. WHat do you want? An expensive present? Are you the kind of girl that will think less of flowers picked from a garden than picked from a florist? I think you are. Men don't owe women like you ANYTHING. If you can't appreciate a simple act of kindness then you don't deserve ANY kindness including the nice dinners and fancy presents (which by the way should be returned as nice gestures are a two way street)

Dude you got some serious issues huh ? Either that, or you just don't understand women - which explains your low opinion of them. All the girl said was that an E card was impersonal. While i don't agree with her on that, it hardly makes her worthy of the gold digger comment.
I agree, lots of women expect material things, and won't go out with a brotha holding a bus pass. I have nothing but contempt for those bitches, but lets not generalize and say ALL north American women are like that. When i read some of your posts i think, either this brother just hates women, or he's had some incredibly bad luck with women...i dunno man, but it makes me sad. (and that's saying a lot, cause i usually don't feel pity for others)
To cheer you up though, i will say this. I agree, Men nowadays shouldn't feel like they owe women material things to get their attention. I'm shocked to see some of my friends who are whipped, cooking dinner all the time for their girls, doing the heavy lifting, and then telling me that they get sex in return so it more then makes up for it...yea, way to take off your pants and become a bitch fella's.
I do agree it's time men took it upon themselves to restore some masculine pride, but that doesn't have to come at the expense of putting a woman down.
PS. If my girl punched me in the nose, and broke my nose...you betta believe that there's gonna be two people going to the hospital... that ! :D |
