I don't agree. It could be due to my love for a good tease but I find I give and open up much more to an online woman because we both know I can't fuck her. This also allows her to open up more and express her deepest fantasies should she choose to.

This is of course in the context of sites like this one? I see your point If we're talking about non adult sites like the customer service chat for my cable company. I doubt I'd be near as upset that my tv wasn't working after seeing some titties.

My wife: when did they say it would be back on dear?
Me: Any time now babe, they are doing everything they can to get it sorted out. The last few minuets of that boxing match wasn't that important anyways.

Methinks you sort of missed the point of that post.
The overall point he was making there was this: Would you even bother to talk to them if you didn't know they were a girl? He's essentially saying that by posting "I'm a girl" they are seeking attention and admitting that a pair of boobs is the only reason someone would want talk to them.

I'm not sure I agree with the guy, but I can see his point and sort of makes me wonder. Especially around here...Look how many guys pretend to be girls because they know they'll get more attention that way...and it works. Now think about how many guys are pretending to be girls that we don't know about....

So whether I agree or not, the guy does have a point I guess.

This man clearly hasn't been on the milo chat *chuckles* if you are a girl on there, you get plenty of attention and buckets of unwanted PMs.

That's typical sexist 4chan bullshit.

Are some women "attention whores"? Definitely. Lots of guys are as well.

And the amount of sexism and hate women encounter on the internet on a daily basis is disgusting.

A recent example: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06 ... -internet/

(I haven't actually read that article, but I couldn't find the one I had actually read and rps is usually pretty good)

No.

Yes, i AM nicer to girls, yes i do deep inside my soul hope, that maybe somehow, someday, but no, it's not about boobs or anything. In fact, in my geeky world a girl that shares my interests is kind of a miraculous appearance, a breath of fresh feminine air in the sea of testosterone, something that needs to be cherished and nurtured before it disappers back into ... shoes shop :-P :lol:


Also: I believe wast majority of chauvinism is aimed not at feminity but at feminists...

But doesnt it have some truth to it?

I have often gotten into trouble in forums with women, not becuase I treated them differently, but becuase I treated them the same as any other poster. :-/

Of course there is SOME amount of truth to it. There are certainly women who act the way it's described in the post. But to generalise it? Completely idiotic.

I Feel people will gravitate to the genre of the site of their foibles.

This is why we have so few "Cupcake" recipes,
Compared to http://www.bakingmad.com/.

And well users of http://www.barkingmad.com/
Are different again.

Well first off that post got the "no girls on the internet thing" wrong, it actually is just because you don't find many girls online. Bear in mind the "rules of the internet" thing was drafted up at least five or six years ago, and the demographics were even more one-sided then.

Attention whoring is bad obviously, but people tend to over-react in a big way. I got banned from a site once for posting a picture of a woman, because a mod thought I was posting my own photograph. (Oddly enough I was banned BY a woman too)
