Thread of Hate

[knapplc]

This is true due to the expansion of choice, mainly for women. Now, thanks to smartphones and other devices, they have men, literally, at their beck and call at all times. This produces an inflated perception of self-worth. Why must she settle for one man when she can ride the cok carousel with the "hottest" and most "sucessful" men? Flash forward to late 20s, early 30s when looks start to fade and she stops receiving many +1s or "likes" on her Instagram and Facebook photos. This is when she decides that she must get married. Why waste all that time with one guy during the years of youthful beauty?

I don't get this. You're saying this is a problem specific to women? Or that it's somehow bad for a woman to behave this way?

If guys do this they're playing the field, and it's OK. What's good for the gander...

I don't think I ever used the words "problem" or "bad" nor did I say that guys "playing the field" was ok. I gave one of the more credible rationales for why people are getting married later these days. But yeah; it does apply more to women than it does to men.

When people say "THE" Ohio State University. For 10 years they've had no major accomplishments, besides being outclassed in big games. They should have to earn the "the."

They have done a lot more in 10 years that we have in a lot of sports, than we have. They have done more in just football, than most programs.

2003 BCS Championship Winner

2004, 2006, 2010 BCS Bowl winners, also 2011 that got vacated.

2007, 2008, 2009 BCS Bowl appearances.

2012 they would have have gone to another BCS Championship game had they not been in sanctions, but nonetheless, undefeated season.

7/11 years they went to a BCS bowl game. I would say they deserved to be called THE Ohio St, even though I dislike them lol. This is just in Football.

Also, if I am not mistaken, they lead the nation in the most BCS appearances and wins, followed by USC.

I just thought they said THE because it's grammatically correct :dunno

Whether that's the reason or not, they deserve to be "THE OSU"

No, it doesn't. And your rationale is not credible.

I know I'm alone here, but that's still not impressive. They did this by winning a weak conference. What major teams did they face in conference? And those losses were thumpings.

Ok, and I just don't like them.

Yes it does. My rationale is perfectly credible. Take a break from Huskerboard for, say, 45 minutes and create a profile of a, say 5.5 woman on a dating site. See how many messages you get in that 45 minutes. See how many noodz you get in that span of time. Then take a break for, maybe, a week, and create a REAL profile of yourself (you can do it in another city, the wife won't get mad) and see how many unsolicited message you get in a week. Tell me who has more choice with improving technology.

I hate that in today's soceity it seems as though it's okay to just settle for someone.

I see it trending the opposite way. I see people getting married later and later in life, or not married at all. Marriage is becoming less the norm every generation, and people are cool with it.

There used to be pressure on people, men or women, to get married, settle down, have kids, all that stuff. Today nobody really cares except your mom.

You are one of my new favorite posters.

Well, "The" is in the official name of the school. All 80 billion campuses that they have

But isn't that how society works for the most part? Men ask women out. Women generally don't ask men out. So why would a dating site be any different?

edit: But yeah, if you did that little experiment I suspect it would turn out just like you describe. I've heard that most dating sites have a much higher percentage of men than women.

 

[Count 'Bility]

Ohio St is the only Ohio St University that I know of. Hence, I have no problem with "The Ohio State". Same as "The Nebraska Cornhuskers"

Texas? Well, theyre just another pile of dogshit.

This is starting to sound like 37's facebook "friends"
