My statement is flawed how?  Logically?  Contextually?  Frank, I was
speaking from a woman's perspective... unless you can quote a long list
of boyfriends you've had in the past few years, I can hardly believe
you can categorize your experiences in the same frame of reference as
mine or any other woman's.  

Now, before you create another Usegroup called
"alt.nfilipov.die.die.die" , consider this: one of my best friends -
this guy named John - called me expressly to complain about the fact
that I sent him this bitchy e-mail.  I told him about the fact that I
received numerous messages concerning the statement I made on a few
Usenet newsgroups, i.e. the one stating the fact that men like (I mean,
*love*) to be treated like shit, and he - as did all of you -
automatically denied that this was the case.  
I pointed out , however, that he only called me after I sent this
insulting message ... before that, I forwarded all kinds of humorous
posts, messages, whatever - he rarely responded w/ more than a
one-phrase message.  Once I bitched or complained, however,  he
responded.
And you know what?  He laughed.  And agreed.  
To quote: "men have to conquer things, including women.  Once they're
nice to you, you know you've won and you have to move on to other
things."

Any comments?  (And don't tell me he's a freak among guys... I've taken
informal polls, and they pretty much point to the same thing.)
