What connection are you making between acquiring and STD and before having children? I don't get it.


Thank you Jersey Girl for listening to me. I hope you don't ever believe that I am a misogynist.

Some STDs can cause infertility, and I wouldn't want my child to get an STD during her mother's pregnancy.
It is impossible for me to know how a woman behaved when she was younger, so I would honestly feel safer dating someone younger. I am sorry Jersey Girl, perhaps I shouldn't feel that way, but I do promise not to care in the future.

You must think it is just a stupid way of thinking, and it probably is.

But anyway, I am tired of repeating the same thing. I will simply say that I am not a sexist.

I do not support modern radical feminism, but that doesn't make me a misogynist. Please retract.

You routinely write highly misogynistic posts.

Please give me some examples. I will try to listen with an open mind.

But please make sure you don't quote my anti-feminism comments. I admit I do not support modern radical feminism, but it doesn't make me sexist or misogynist.

So please quote me (not out of context) or retract!

Honestly how on earth did you find that? Why are you so obsessed with me? In that post I misspelled the word "autism", so there is no way you could have found that by searching for "autism".

DonBradley wrote:I don't have authism like doc cam. In case you missed it

:lol: That’s a very astute question. The search feature here works best if you put a wildcard into every word, so when you search for “au*ism, autism comes up, as do words like “authoritarianism,” and even misspellings like yours.

So when I wanted to find the reference for the comment I remembered reading, it wasn’t hard to find, regardless of any misspellings.

I'm trying to understand you. I don't know if you are a misogynist but I can tell you that some of the comments you've made do appear to be misogynistic on the surface which is why I continue to ask you questions about your meaning.
Some STDs can cause infertility, and I wouldn't want my child to get an STD during her mother's pregnancy.


That makes better sense to me now.
It is impossible for me to know how a woman behaved when she was younger, so I would honestly feel safer dating someone younger.


Even if the woman were younger, you still wouldn't know how she behaved before she met you. You also wouldn't know how anyone behaved towards her either--for example if she were ever sexually assaulted--that kind of thing.
I am sorry Jersey Girl, perhaps I shouldn't feel that way,


You're free to feel and think however you wish.


but I do promise not to care in the future.


:-)

You must think it is just a stupid way of thinking, and it probably is.


I don't know if it's a stupid way of thinking...I'm still trying to understand how you think and why you think it. I'm sure previous religious experience is a factor for you, too.

I know I've done my fair share of attacking you and probably cussing you out on this thread, taking a break from it and then coming back to it. I usually come back to the trying to build understanding part.

Remember that if I start attacking you again! :lol:

Many righteous LDS men want the same thing. That opinion and feeling should be respected.
Absolutely not.
Let me say it again, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a woman with a lot of experience. At least not for now, but I won't care in the future. Why? Because I don't want to get an STD before having children.

By again, my comment wasn't sexist, but I am sorry for using offensive an vulgar language.

Your comment was sexist.

According to a researcher, "some older men have a strong preference for clearly younger women, but most tend to also find older women attractive," Antfolk said.

I couldn't find any data on young men that have never been married.

He gives up on that idea--because it's unrealistic--and seeks love and companionship from a woman in his same peer group.


According to a study the average 18 year old girl is willing to be in a relationship with man over 26.
