Arrogant assumptions

Saturday 11th August 2007 11:03 in Human Relations

A lot of people - at every level of society - make assumptions which turn out to be wrong and make them them look foolish. One that men can find rather offensive is the way that some women, if they are so much as spoken to by a stranger about anything whatsoever, will behave exactly as if that man has just said:

“I want to have sex with you regardless of anything.”

It tends to be good looking but unintelligent girls who behave in this way. This extremely arrogant assumption is apparent in their manner, which is an utterly exclusive one, sending the message:

“If I don’t recognise you instantly, you are worthless to me and there can be no possible benefit of me speaking to you.”

This is not something I experience often, but I have encountered it occasionally because I speak openly with people and usually give them the benefit of the doubt.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Not all men are desperate, and looks alone are not enough for any discerning man (they are certainly not enough for me). Such women actually miss out with their dismissive behaviour (it encourages men to value them for their looks alone) and they insult with their arrogance. Their behaviour also shows a lack of imagination. We can be grateful in that it is a warning sign (”Don’t bother talking to me - I am actually not intelligent or polite enough to be worthy of your time”) - but they would be better being civil and treating men as human beings first, and men second. If straightforward moral reasons are not enough for them to do this (viz. having respect for others until given reason to withdraw it) and they must have an overtly mercenary motive, they should consider that you never know just who that stranger might turn out to be.
