And moved onto the era where young males can be represented in sleazy ways.
The comedy keeps coming with you.

Have you seen the front page of cougar life??? Have you. Here it is.

Which brings up another thing i've noticed lately.

Imagine the uproar from "womens groups" if there was a TV ad for a dating site for old men to pick up young women. It would be branded sleazy, sexist, disgusting a clear example of the patriarchy etc

Yet on our tvs now there's an ad for a Cougars website for old women to pick up young men.

No word from the social warriors on that of course.
C'mon Gus Poyet . You're brought up the issue of cougarlife.com casting men in a sleazy light. Yet, as Ive posted, the site front page features a woman dressed in an off the shoulder t short after sex. Also, she looks to be late 20s which seems to imply this is old for a woman? Can you explain how this is portraying males in a negative light? Ive posted the picture below again for you.

Exhibit A.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Market-male-services-triples-five-years.html

Rising numbers of British women are paying for male escorts because they are too busy for conventional relationships, researchers are claiming. A high proportion appear to be busy career women in their thirties and forties looking for a brief fling, they say. And some even claim they want more than just time in the bedroom – and are prepared to pay for companionship, too. Researchers say they have evidence that the market for male escorts has tripled in the past five years – eclipsing the rise in demand for female escorts.






tl;dr

I expected something worse tbh. "Can't end well" suggests something more dire than male escorts and cats

If you think that woman looks late 20's you haven't been around or had many women. She's mid 30's to 40 at least.

Have you seen the ad? Bunch of young good looking guys all lining up to want to bang some old tart.

You've got to know when to hold em and know when yo fold em. You've gone all in on the 'cougar ad depicting males in sleazy ways' and frankly, you've come off looking like a clown. It is a site that presents itself as a 'buffet' of women for younger men. On this site, women are objects; it is designed with men as the primary customer base. You saw something on TV, went on a 'men are being picked on again' whinge and didnt bother to actually investigate the site you're crying about. After all of that, the site is actually horrendously unfavourable towards women.

With all due respect, fold em. Of all the dopey, uninformed things Ive read in this thread, your post has been the dumbest.

Oh good lord. The fact you can't comprehend that on that site the women have all the power shows what a naive little boy you are.

Once again, you're talking bollocks about an ad you've never seen in true White Knight fashion.

The ad depicts the older woman walking along a street like she's the pied piper of young men. It's nothing about being picked on at all. Way to not comprehend again.

So stop pretending you know what the site is about. You've not seen the ad and not seen how they promote it.

Of all the dopey, uninformed things(that would be you commenting on an ad you've not seen) Ive read in this thread, your post has been the dumbest.

It's a site aimed at men that presents women as objects. I looked on the site and didnt see one image of a man.

If you weren't so interested in proving how deeply hard men have it to cover for your personal notions of inadequacy, you'd see how profoundly laughable your post was.

It's a site for older women to pick up young guys, plain and simple. It's a site aimed at older cashed up women so they can find their young toy boy play things. Do you even know what a Cougar is?

Save your White Knight drivel for the feminist card carrying ladies. They might buy your sad little act and show you some friendzone love.

You are clueless. Genuinely clueless.

I've opened up the cougar life homepage. What do I see? A male hand flicking through profile pics of various women. Here's a screengrab. Combined with the other homepage pic I posted, you'd have to be genuinely hateful of women to assert your opinion.

If ever there is a bigger example of their collective ignorance than his post, I have yet to see it.

I get it you're a 15 year old kid. Of course you could never understand the power dynamics of adult relationships.

The fact you can't comprehend that women can have power in male/female interactions proves quite categorically you are the epitomy of a White Knight.

The Pricesses need saving from the big bad sleazy men. I can hear them all now...Quick call our White Knight Kidd Friendzone, he'll save us from this horrible patriarchy.

And once again, you've never seen the ad and what it is trying to portray and yet you still bullshit on about the conversation like you "know" what's behind it all.

That's all well and good.

But we are talking about this dating site. Ive posted 2 screenshots showing it is a site aimed at men. Ive pointed out the default option of the site is to look for 'cougars' which indicates it is aimed at straight males looking for women.

Can you provide any evidence this site is aimed primarily at women?

The TV ad proves it.

The TV ad is all about the power of the woman and all the young men are her potential play things.

The photo you keep banging on about suggests something completely different to me.

It's a Mrs Robinson campaign. You know the movie? Well to do woman seduces young male as a play thing? Ring a bell?

What TV ad? Do you mean the one where the man is being chased down a beach by 10s of women in swim suits? How is that aimed at women? or the one where a blokes beds his former Professor who then offers him apple pie? Which one is aimed at women?

Why is it that the default search option is to find 'cougars', and not 'cubs'?

Uhh the add for the Cougar site :drunk: Where once again, the men follow the woman like she's the pied piper.

Gonna go out on a limb here... The defaults are set in alphabetical order?

You got a link? I couldnt see it.

Interesting.

So they offer 2 options. 2. Cougars and cubs. And you think 'cougars' is the default search option because they want their 2 choice list to be in alphabetical order? Have I understood you correctly?

Given it's a 2 option list why would it matter if they had it alphabetically or in any other order...

I really do think you have no comprehension of the concept of the Cougar. The power dynamics of it do not support anything you're trying to suggest.

You came in with a bluster touting this site that objectifies young males. That claim has proven to be completely laughable; you've show the complete opposite.

You claimed that site was intended for females. I've pointed out it isnt and offered multiple reasons why not. You have been unable to offer any argument.

When I pointed out the default search setting was suited for males, you claimed the reason was that it's in "alphabetical order".

You got to know when to fold 'em.

Your reasons are horse s**t is why. You made them up based on how you read a situation. Given you're a white knight that is not a reliable or unbiased opinion.

I however simply commented on a marketing ploy BY the company to portray a middle aged woman as a kind of pied piper of young men.

Just so you understand the whole Cougar principle which you don't...

Cougar is a slang term that refers to a woman who seeks sexual relations with considerably younger men.[1][2]ABC News states that these women pursue sexual relations with people more than eight years younger than they are,[1] while The New York Times states that the women are over the age of 40 and aggressively pursue sexual relations with men in their 20s or 30s.

Hopefully the bolded bit finally lets it sink into your brain the power dynamics of a Cougar and her partners.

I presented pictorial evidence that its a site aimed at younger men. You have nothing in response.

Who doesnt know what a cougar is and it's an attempt at redressing imbalances of power in gender relations?

I didnt want to get off the topic of you making a complete boob of yourself.

lawl "alphabetical order".

That is not evidence. That is you looking at an image and saying what you think it means.

You thought that woman was in her late 20's ffs.

I have nothing to respond to because your points are not worth responding to.

You don't.

It is part of the topic, it's part of the feminist and white night myth that feminism is about equality.
