I'm through with men - and all they meant to me.

All they meant to you? ALL? Even a good lay!?

Sorry to be flippant. I so often feel exactly the same way.

My good friend Wyn is wont to say, "Mens is mens." Inclined to agree with her, but you know, I'm not quite ready to give up on the mens.

Don't give up on men. Just give up the men that make you want to give up on me. A year and a half ago, I was ready to give up on men. Two days later, I met 77. I always used to scoff and John and Yoko Ono Lennon when they would say that they had found in one another the missing half of their own souls. Now I know what they mean.

Well that's good. Perhaps you'll be able to see them for what they mean to/as/in themselves.

oh really????

who was giving me advice only 15 days ago on men and healing a broken heart????

What brought this feeling up? need someone to listen? I'll listen if you need an objective ear.

[identity profile] low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
no - its just a general feeling. I'm not down... swearing off men is actually pretty liberating! I'm just tired of putting myself out there - thats all. Im done! over! (dramatic music que) Men are pigs!

I must of missed a post, but too bad that something must of happened that made you say that... I felt the same way after a couple of men trampled on my heart... So, I hope someday I will be happy again with someone special... *sigh*

*HUGS* to you!!!!

there is no trampling going on. just ambivalence.

Men are pigs!

Men are dogs!

Men are filth!

If only they didn't come with penises,...and furry, robust chests...and strong arms to hold you...and kissable faces....and squeezable buns...and laughing, twinkling eyes...and deep, rumbly voices.

Take away all that, and I could do without men completely!

Men are pigs. They are vile, disgusting, creatures of habit. They continually consider only themselves, and never expect anything above their self-imposed limitations. Constantly drowning themselves in narcissistic attitudes, men are nothing more than a mirror-hungry hip-thrusting collection of belly, butt, and penis, seeking approval for their less-than-perfect, selfish accomplishments.
That being said, I am proud to be one. Go me!

I was going to get philosophical and all artsy next, but I had a brain fart, and it all flew out the left ear. Oh, well.....

I'm through with men - and all they meant to me. he says with his best over the shoulder 'come hither' icon.

Uh huh. Yeah. It would be more convincing if you said you were going to give women a try.

it's actually a quote from Love!Valour!Compassion! by Terrence McNally - it's one of Buzz's dramatic queen lines. :)

Sorry you have had a bad experience. Wish I could help.

However, "men are pigs" ?

Kent (me) not a pig. I eat like one but... well, don't generalize muffin. We are not all like the asses that rise to the surface.

[identity profile] low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
it isn't that I've had a hard time - is that I'm over putting myself out there over and over - just to get told "you have a heart the size of texas... but...." so I'm done with it for a while....

Buddy, fairytales are fairytales. Reality is not material for the children's books we grew up with. Prince Charming was fun to read about but I honestly don't know of one single happy monogamous gay relationship. Perhaps our expectations need to be revisited....

[identity profile] low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
this is about me expecting nothing. actually.

I don't know whether I'm even looking for a happy monogamous gay relationship. I just know that I'm done with running after men for a while.

its more of a confident statement than a question. I am through with men - and all they meant to me! (snap!)

Trick or Treat?

either would suit me fine.

sounds like a very freeing statement... good luck with wherever it leads you.

[identity profile] low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
thanks - Many saw it as a "wtf" statement - and it really was more declaritive and simply - how things are.

I am simply done trying to figure it out. and have any of this make sense.

[identity profile] artsycub.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
What I'm doing seems to be working well: I'm slowly building up a tolerance to the mens so one day I can try to be amongst their kind again.

[identity profile] throbbin.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
You need to find your weeza - hit her and we'll sell tickets.

Giving up on men is a good thing for a while. I'm kinda doing that, and only using them as means to my own ends. That way I can still get some "hot dog and buns" but I don't expect anyone to be anything like genteel or to call me again after.


[identity profile] blt4success66.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
LOL...I read several of the comments and I'm kind of giggling. IF I ever get to the other side, I have to admit, I have no desire to even indulge. How sad is that?

I'll be happy with a close circle of friends, an active life, and just growing old.

All people are overrated...it's not just the men, honey.

Sigh

Trust me, based on what little I know about you, I've got you figured for at least 5 more trips on the Love RollerCoaster before you finally realize that you reall more in love with the idea/concept of being "In Love" than the actual long term excericise of actually being in love.

Real love may not bear any resemblance to your notions of romance, shared baths by candlelight, romantic dinners and flowers. Real love may have a lot more to do with making sure that the oil in their car is changed on schedule, making sure they have clean underwear for their next business trip, and making sure they remember their Mom and Dad's anniversary, than two guys in rented tuxedos having a commitment ceremony and a honeymoon cruise in the Medierranian.

Thus endeth the sermon.

*drily* sips coffee
Cool-discarding one's perceptions usually helps see things as they are, which leads to better responses and greater enjoyment.

Poptart?
