On Woman

Have you realised.

A boy wants to be a man.
A woman wants to be a girl.

A woman never want to grow up, so in the words of Arthur Schopenhauer, ‘a woman remains children for their entire lives’.

One of my mates told me that his ex-fiance wore hipsters at the tender age of 40. and philosophywoman calls herself philosophygirl. why don’t woman want to grow up?

  1. Women ask the same thing about men.
  2. Growing up entails getting older: no one wants to do that, except maybe children.

women only want to be girls in terms of physical appearance… and that can be atttributed to western culture for the most part.

It’s not the same for their experience/mental maturity.

Por…shut up.

but they are not! why not face reality and stop lifting their 50 yr old faces to look like 30 yr olds without the dignity that comes with old age.

someone who is so mature that she can’t even see through the shallowness of looks. you are shocking, as usual. have you ever seen 2 fifty year olds fighting over something like two teenagers. how pathetic.

since when do men want to be boys.

no one want to grow old, but that is inevitable. there is no point trying to pathetically reverse what is irreversible.

Por…shut up.

Tongue-in-cheek I’d ask you the same thing: since when do women want to be girls? Because you say so? Because you quote Schopenhauer? Because some dude you know told you something about his fiancee? None of these amount to a damn thing in any objective sense, and I would think you’d know that without my pointing it out. But then you did post this in Mundane Babble, so maybe there’s hope for you yet.

More to the point, what I suggest is you seem oblivious to the fact women say the same things about men: ‘They’re just big kids’; ‘Women are more mature than men’ - I’ve been hearing these generalizations my whole life. This means your OP has virtually the same value or intrigue for those of us not within your convoluted sense of self-intelligence as a post by some 13-year-old girl making the same sort of observation about boys.

Much more significant, any attempt at generalization such as this is bound to be explicitly false: the moment there’s one exception, the question becomes moot. It’s like asking, ‘Why are people who post on message boards so stupid?’ Ponder that one, O great philosopher.

No they don’t

No it can’t because there is no ‘western culture’

Plenty of women play the helpless girl role in the hope of snagging a roughtough mate. I’ve seen them do it, so you can’t invalidate this…

Gobbo, when you have contributed 1, just 1, post of quality to these forums on a subject about which you know, then you’ll have the right to tell more intelligent people than you to shut up. Until then you just come across as insecure, lazy, ignorant, self-absorbed and lonely…

i love how you continually make it a point to respond to nearly every single one of my posts now

it’s flattering really.

‘continually’ ‘now’ - you mean half a dozen posts over the last 24 hours? Not really obsessive behaviour, is it Gobbo? Especially given that I posted in the Donnie Darko thread prior to you and as such you responded to my post first in that instance…

Stop trying to be psyque…

Daybreak

why does philosophywoman call herself philosophygirl? why do woman take offence if you call them woman, and feel flattered when you call them girls. this is a fact. woman want to be the pretty fool they are born to be. if they are not, then they become angry women with menstral madness. what about all the cosmetics that make women look younger, the plastic surgeries? all woman want to maintain their youth, not only on the physical level, but since they are so vain, their physical immaturity is matched by their intellectual immaturity. I mean if someone is mature, then they can see beyond the skin. Women no longer find dignity important, they want to be young and not beings with dignity.

no men are just lazy. but not all kids are lazy. so men do not want to be kids. as I said. men find it offensive if they are called boys. while woman find it flattering to be called girls.

then you misunderstand the meaning of generalisation. a generisation is not always true, but is true to a great extent. it is different to a universal. if you compare woman of 40s to women of today, you find a disturbing loss of dignity. I mean, even if you find one exception among a billion affirmations. what does that prove? but that the exception is a mutation?

.

Then why are you posting on message boards? As I said, in arguments, there are terms like ‘most’ ‘some’ ‘all’, they are of different strength in arguments. so before the word people, do you mean ‘why are all people’ or some people, or a few people? what type of assertion are you making. this goes to prove my point about the missing adjective. the vagueness that inhibits the corners of your psychology makes your argument incoherent. I mean, if Schopenhauer is being quoted by people on message board, does that make him stupid? a message board is only a medium of communication and nothing more. welcome to the 21st century.

Oh Grow up!

We love being women. We are both women and girls.

POR needs to get laid.

I understand the sacred duty involved in copulation, it is for the only purpose of continuing ourselves.

many said I need to get laid. I remember Nietzsche saying ’ the true genius is one who can convert his primal passion to the working of creativity’. meaning those who waste their sexual drive are wrong. those who pent it up are wrong. but those who use it for the expression of creativity is the true genius. and I am a virgin with inhuman racial awareness.

Don’t pretend to think you know women when you clearly do not. To say that women want to be girls is grossly opinionated without actually knowing women at all. I use the example of sexuality because its the most obvious way to confirm that women indeed love being women. To make sweeping statements like your’s without any actual experience of women and to regurgitate some words devoid of any real insight screams of inexperience and judgement. Get over yourself. You are your own biggest hurdle.

I rest my case.

A

P.S. It’s not that I am judging your virginity, it’s that it is painfully obvious.

Warning:
You have nothing to proove to anyone.
Judgement and shyness and shame are all shit!

Whatever you do, if you deside to have kids,
find an honorable and un-selfish man,
because kids need good perents.

Dan loves Neitzsche to! :smiley:

:astonished:

Dan,

POR is a man. Or at the very least he’s male.

A

The laughs continue!!

explain

People are complex. There is no such thing as always being one way or another. In the company of my father I am a girl, a daughter, in the company of my mother I am a daughter, I am a women, I am a sister, a friend, in the company of a man I am a woman and a whole range of creatures inbetween. To say that I am only one thing is to delude myself.

A

angel got it soo right. everyone, males and females have many different roles, different facets of the diamond as it were. im a sister, daughter, auntie, work colleague, friend, enemy, student, mentor, and many others.

as a female, and at the age of 16, halfway between being a girl and a woman, i say different roles in life require us to behave differently.

on the other hand however, it is true that deep down some females are more woman or child. this is entirely due to maturity. watch a person in a dangerous situation, a situation where they have other peoples lives in their control. watch their behavoir then and youll see their level of maturity, which is really what you are asking about POR.

now both LA and myself have explained this incredibly simple concept to yourself… i suggest you go with GOs advice.

And of course we can all adopt roles that aren’t ‘truly’ our own…
