nice sarcasm guy.did i say that though.. dont think i did...... what does it matter to you because to YOU im just another chick who started some bias thread right. but lemme guess, this rant gives you the right to act like you do because you have never bitched at anything in your life right. you've never had something happen and bitched about it to your buddies or wife. look dude, everyone rants about shit ok. so if you dont like the topic or "stumble" onto just another thread about some shit just dont click the page and give yourself and everyone else peace of mind.

You asked for peoples opinion. I gave you mine. And to answer your question, no, I've never made a big deal out of being a white guy. Alot of people do. I figure I can bitch about it all I want but that's not gonna change anything. Go bitch to your guys at work if it's such a big deal. This rant gives me the right to act like I do because you posted it on the internet, asking for replies. I gave you my reply and you didn't like it so now you're bitching at me.

NOW I remember YOU AND your post.hahaha. post whatever you want, its not like it matters.

Since we're apparenlty "Arguing" as you put it in another thread, good retort.
it doesn't matter to you anyways. I couldn't really care less what you think of me online. I was talkin to the general public.

speaking of work, I just finished my 360's!!!! woo hoo! now i have cash for thanksgiving! Guinness and Shiner here i come!

Not trying to be a dick but i call bullshit,work is only as hard as you make it & the workplace is only as bad as you allow yourself to believe it is,nowdays people need excuses as to why they are not good at their job,or why somebody else got promoted,or why they are not truly interested in the work they do daily,or even why others make more money,in the end who really cares,it's what we all do to earn our daily bread,nothing more.

People/men dont care about the fact that your a woman,homosexual,handicap ect,all they care about is how you interact within the workplace & thats it.

Another thing is that the modern workplace is too damm touchy feely, where there's allways one or two employee's that make big scene's out of little shit they dont like about others personalities,then they dwell on how bad it makes the workplace for "them",just because men are crass does not mean they have it out for you,it's part of being a man,men are crass by nature.

Funny thing is this,the type guy's that are branded as being asshole's at work are usually the type of guy's that women go for in real life,most women dont want the weak mouthed non opinionated jelly spined yes man type,they want the tough guy with a long history of bad relationships.

I call it like i see it,women have made most men what they are like it or not.

well as far as complaining or trying to find an excuse for shit.. I dont. women in any field of work get hit on or whatever all the time. i dont see too many girls doing that at work. and hell yeah there are assholes at work. sometimes i go out to fix a pc at some house and the guys always ask, "so are you single?" or things of that nature. i even had a guy ask me to go see his bedroom once. fuck that shit. if it were some jackass geek squad guy fixing that shit thats all it would be A JOB!. so dont come in here and call bullshit on something you dont even know. alright. sure sure i voiced an opinion on a public thread and all that jazz but even still, you come on here trying to state "facts" and not just opinions. when you get tits and a vag and work around horny ass guys then come talk to me. as for my job, well im very happy at what i do and glad to be around most of the talented and smart guys i work with. for the most part they are ok and i know how to defend myself against the typical guy. but every now and then there are just genuine assholes out there and the ones trying to back that shit up are usually assholes themselves. im not on here to bitch about co workers and i didnt start this thread to bitch. just stating my opinion on shit. just think of the last time you were with some other guys and some girl walked passed you, and im sure you or someone in that group made some comments. well i get those comments voiced at me not behind my back. you think girls go around saying" wow look at that one. id like to pound that". hell no! close minded kids.how would you like it if you being a male and some other male went up to you and was like." yeah whats up baby." i bet you would freak right. same effect here bub.

...would you like dick with that?

Surely you are used to that by now.

Hi panhead, netpirate and all.
I'd love to able to 'call bullshit' on netpirate's thread. It would prove that a lot of men have learnt not to be f%^k-knuckles when it comes to respect for all people.
Unfortunately that's not the case. There are still socially backward males (and females I should add) that think a woman in 'a man's job' is wrong and that women cannot possibly be as smart or as physically able as men. I've seen it in workplaces from farmhands through to transport and InfoTech.
There are also those that can't help but hit on a female that is working in a male dominated field. Must be a dominance/submissive thing.

I do agree that there are a lot of women who go for 'macho', chauvanistic type blokes, but then there are a lot of men who like dominant women.
When I worked in IT at the local university, I would have blokes come up to all the time and ask about one of my work colleagues; "is she single", "is she available", or the tackiest, "how are you and Mxxxx going hey? I bet you've already been there!"
My response was usually, "she's a very good friend of mine and I don't think her girlfriend, who is also a good friend of mine would like her dating a work colleague".

i do agree with the socially backwards females part. and about everything else for that matter. you see i knew there was a guy out there that had his eyes open.

My eyes are open... Work shouldn't be a place to make friends. If you chose to be overly social at your work, that's your mistake. Do your job, keep your head down, keep your mouth shut. Plain and simple.

alright, think of it this way

im sure you spend time every day to look in the mirror and make yourself look good...

you have a job where you go to peoples houses... single men, looking good...

its asking to get hit on..

dont wanna get any unwanted attention? come to work straight out of bed

It's just called "Deal with it"

You're going to continue to get hit on by clients, it's reality... It happens to everyone, not just you. When I was working cable, I would have single and married women, and sometimes men hit on me at least once or twice a week... Do I bitch about it? No...

People like you are the reason that people are afraid of being straight forward and honest about their attraction towards someone. Seriously... if your life is so bad that all you have to complain about is being hit on, get over it... Nobody should have compassion for such a ridiculous complaint.


GET REAL

are you like the only chick in your town

it sure sounds that way

reality?!? you mean the one where people keep their mouths shut and go on with their lives letting people do what they want to them. nahhh no thanks. maybe you dont bitch about it because its a different situation. and why must a thread mean im bitching about it. i forgot that the masses in population changed a simply stated OPINION into "some one bitching". venting.... maybe but not bitching. who knows, maybe someone pissed you off and your just projecting anger. go ahead then, its the internet. these days noone can post something to get it off their minds without it being " bitching". its like the upper eschelon of forums people made it a rule.

and where do you get off saying " its people like you"?!?! you dont even know me. but its abundantly clear that its people like YOU who tend to point fingers first like some self righteous hippocrite. it people LIKE ME that are the REASON people are NOT afraid to be straight forward and honest. this is the INTERNET.you have no idea how i am in "reality". i dont know why you have to be smoke and guns about someones venting.whatever agenda you had clicking on my rant, i hope you got it all out of your system. good day to you.

look im not trying to "fight" with anyone here. but if it pissed you off to read then you really need to smoke some more. toke n talk right. chill! so what, some random ass girl threw a rant up and now everyone is crucifying her. haha. calm down. i NEVER said that "something should be done about this" nor did i scream sexual harassment. frankly it was just RANTING! so calm down with the shit. i personally do get dolled up and dont care what some jack ass has to say about me nor do i care for the shit on this thread. its amazing how some of you get. like some sort of religious clan ready to burn someone for not being like them. wow! really.wow

I have a friend. *She* deals weed and works a day job. One day she wrote a letter to the editor of the paper complaining about men wolf whistling when she walked down the street. The paper interviewed her and took her photo. She copped a hiding in the 'letters to the editor' and got abused on the street.
WTF deal is that? If I was her, I'd want to be able to walk down the street without getting whistled at like a dog. If you think a wolf whistle is a term of endearment today guys, you better go back to the sixties.
If I was netpirate, I'd want to be able to do my job without the sexual innuendo and bullshit. If you were interested in me, ask me after work and take no for an answer if it comes.

But anyway, it's nice to see another IT geek in the forums netpirate.

How is a guy supposed to get a date if he cant ask a woman if she is single?

Until woman woman start going up to men, this is how life is. You should be flattered that man think your attractive and want to take you out.

if men didn't approach woman, 95% the world would be single.


Netpirate how is a man supposed to get a date with you? Telepathy?

This seems like one of those threads were TS is expecting hordes of support only to turn on every contributing member when they don't agree with her.

Gotta stay on top of those shovanistic male egos. I have a BA in the technical field and know my shit! That should be enough for them but it isn't.

Hi, Lucy!

You have a BA in a technical field? Not a BS? How does that work then?

Hope I'm not being "shovanistic."

Some people call it "intuition" although as far as many "guys" are concerned, those are two words for the same incomprehensible ability.

It's difficult to describe... it's almost like a fifth sense...

I call it "single-dar".
