Why Men Think Women Are Crazy
Look, everyone has the potential to get a little bit crazy about dating habits and preferences. But this article in New York Magazine – whether or not it’s true — is one of the reasons why men think women are bats*&it insane.
An excerpt, for entertainment purposes only.
-PUT the lid DOWN. Animals have better manners than most men
-no stockbrokers, unemployed musicians, actors, or baristas
-no ravers, goths, punks, or rude boys
-musical taste must include, but not be limited to, Kingston Trip [sic], Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Judy Collins
-name must not begin with an R, a J, or a B (Js are negotiable; Rs are not. Bs should consider that if they treat a cat nicely, it will respond accordingly; but if you scare it by approaching too fast, of course it will attack)
Sounds like a joke to me, especially as you get into the “certification” requirements and other pieces of insanity. If you must, read the whole thing here.
It is fake – the article said so (and cited the author). Nevertheless, women are crazy. At least most of my single friends are
whether this article is real or not, anyone who has this many requirements could certainly be viewed as insane. i understand that everyone has their preferences in a mate, but this is just ridiculous.
The biggest turnoff on jdate is when a woman starts making a long list of demands. This is usually followed by “hey, it’s better to be clear on what we all want, right?” … Yeah, but it’s better to state that in the positive rather than the negative.
Anyone who starts going on and on about how “you better not be this way, or this way, etc….” is an immediate turn off. Even if those things are true. For example, someone writes, “no jerks, no bad manners, no sports fanatics, no guys who don’t know how to treat a lady right” …
(that might be a bad example, but you get the idea)
Well, OK – you may agree with all those things – but it just sounds bossy and demanding, and it sounds like the kind of woman who will never be satisfied.
There’s a better way of stating what you’re looking for.
The original post has been updated to reflect that it’s indeed a fake. But yeah. If you’ve got time on your hands, keep it to or Under 5 points. If you’re ‘over a certain age’ and really want to conclude negotiations before mandatory retirement at work? (I know, a strange concept all around, but work with it!) The vital ‘requirements’ are best kept at 3-4. And mostly these really should be personality & psychological attributes. Because almost everything else can change given time. That tall athletic fellow will go bald. And have chronic back problems. The ‘pumped up’ ‘stud muffin’ will grow fat and balding. And immovable. That lovely thin, self satisfied ‘natural woman’ you married somehow suddenly needs all sorts of ‘work’ & injections to plump this or that up as aging strikes it’s peculiar terror on her body.
It’s often the case that many can be happily surprised in retrospect that their guy or gal has everything that they need or thought they desired. Not by design, but almost by accident. That’s a happy circumstance. Often as not something you never really contemplated will make an unfortunate appearance, and you’ll never quite be rid of it, despite it never having bothered you in the past. The spouse who religiously trains athletically but is a dunce for knowing anything about ‘current events or politics’ despite having a degree in these things. ‘Sorry Hon, if it’s not on Fox at the gym, I probably missed it!’. This can get much worse with age. Ditto for various versions of the ‘middle age spread’, (but these are mostly anticipated).
I could go on and have. But the lists? Are for the birds. KISS always wins out here! Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’

I always think women are into feelings and men into doing, Women want a man to listen to her feelings and not solve her issues. Most men cant help but offer advice.
i posted to one of your other postings re jdate’s technological problems. i told them it didnt bring up profiles in their own window, as it should. the ‘person’ or program that responded told me to clean the cache, which didnt help. why does the site feel like it’s 1996?
women are definitely insane – at least one week out of every month. it is amazing how much a person can change for no apparent reason (well, not apparent to men).
There will always be these differences between the sexes.It is very important to try and see from the other person’s perspective.

My own red flag for “neurotic” dating would be the growing number of women these days, who’re “in love” with their dog. So you sorta get the feeling that it’s not just a pet, it’s become a part of their life and identity, and you’d be dating her AND the dog(s). Kinda like she has another boyfriend (only with 4 legs instead of 2)!
