Why do women and circumcised men always talk bad about uncircumcised men?
I don't know. The only people I hear talking bad about foreskins are people who have had no experience with them, or who have really odd assumptions about how to care for them including many practices which are highly damaging. I kind of find it funny when Americans come to an international website and start telling the rest of the world about foreskins and how hard they are, or how dirty they are or what's involved in cleaning them and then launch into diatribes getting each and every detail wrong. And then wondering why anyone who's not American and don't circumcise or know many circumcised men are shocked by the drivel they've written. They're whole thing seems to be "I've never personally really had much experience with a foreskin but I heard this from a friend of a friend, or some relative didn't circumcise their baby and they got some infection" etc. Which is nuts because each and every statistic shows clearly circumcised men and babies get MORE infections. Then you find out that to Americans dealing with UTI's, yeast infections etc are all very common! So yeah... Not a nice reality to be living. So yeah - those with a clue see circumcision as barbaric and unthinkable and don't see anything dirty or disgusting about foreskins, but those who have no idea and are just going by what they've heard or what someone told them think foreskins are gross and disgusting.
How do you deal with negative feedback on Quora?
It’s only been a few weeks now that I’ve been getting a lot of comments on my answers.Most of them are overwhelmingly positive and friendly.Every now and then, however, I log into Quora and I get:“This answer is laughable. Clearly the writer doesn’t know what he (and they always say “he”) is talking about.”“This answer sucks. Downvoted.”“This is what’s wrong with people. It’s sad that people still believe this bullshit.”I often wonder if these same people would say these same words to my face. I know they wouldn’t; it’s much easier to hide in cowardice behind a computer screen. They can pretend that they’re not saying those words to a real person on the other side.But they are.And it doesn’t hurt any less.I’ve been called fat. I’ve been called selfish and immature. I’ve been told that I don’t deserve friends.I don’t know why people think that is okay.These comments get deleted immediately, and their writers, blocked.This is not feedback. This is bullying and it does not make me a better writer. I don’t need to keep it around.Sometimes I get comments like:“A central fact of your answer is wrong. Here’s a link to tell you more.”“You have a grammar issue. Here’s the solution.”“I don’t agree with your answer, and here’s why.”These are constructive. Negative, yes. They don’t praise me and tell me how great I am. They show me a flaw that I have in something I’ve written.That’s fantastic.It makes me a better writer.These comments get a reply, and sometimes an edit to my answer. If they’re polite, they get my thanks.I appreciate negative feedback. Positive feedback doesn’t help me grow nearly as much. I need to be told what I’m doing wrong, so that I can improve it.There’s never any reason to personally attack a writer on Quora.You can attack my ideas. You can attack my presentation. You can attack my stories.Challenge them. Help me make them better.But you aren’t making my writing better by insulting me.
Why do women always seem to want "more"?
@Peachface: First off, the likely senerio is this... a man tells woman he doen't like broccoli, so she cooks broccoli, he doesn't get mad that she didn't listen, he just doesn't eat the broccoli... then the woman gets mad that he didn't eat it and this big argument ensues, and its his fault for hurting her feelings. Then HE has to apologize for not eating something he told her he didn't want to begin with. Second of all, you didn't answer the question. The question is why do women push men, why do they always want more. You say its because of the man's fault. Seriously, pls do not give an answer on female behavior that relieves them of all accountability and responsibility for their actions.
At what age do women stop being shallow and give nice guys a chance?
Well my grandma says at about age 88. Not before I get mean feedback from ladies I just want you to know I'm not saying this to be mean or funny but it's true. All of my friends who are nice and (Who are guys) ended up dating these unattractive girls who have cheated on them and didn't have much respect and these aren't even good looking ones or Good personality ones. And then all the cute, hot girls never even call me and even the ones who aren't don't really give me a chance. No girl that I went to high school with never gave me the opportunity to date them and I'm a nice guy. I'm saying this as nice as possible but I was always positive and had a few friends (No girlfriends or girls as friends from my high school, it was bad enough I had to transfer). Then luckily I got a gf... for a month and went crazy on me. Now I'm currently 22 years old and a virgin and haven't date a girl for an entire year and the relationship lasted 3 days. Actually that's been my only relationship in two years. What did I ever do?... lol.... Sorry if I was kind of being mean at the beginning of the introduction. I'm just so fruserated. It didn't help having a negative friend during high school who said things like "That girl wouldn't date you". He was right.... He was right... I suck at life. And I'm not desperate from any means. I have a little standards and I know I'm cute to girls, is what they say but things never go my way. Please help with an extra details.
My girlfriend is very negative and finds fault in everything I do. How do I deal with this?
My girlfriend is very negative and finds fault in everything I do. How do I deal with this?Well, since I don’t know anything about you or your relationship, it’s impossible for me to give you informed, tailor-made advice. All I can give you is the benefit of my experience. But who knows, you may find that useful.My special lady and I are very different. She’s all about day-to-day logistics and to-do lists and I’m VERY conceptual. But despite a wide personality gap, we’ve got loads in common and a successful relationship that’s spanned decades.We’re both recently retired. Which means we now have all the time in the world to get on each other’s nerves. The mere sight of me thinking, reading and writing in my pajamas seems wrong and idle to her. Why am I not doing something useful like making lunch, cleaning, or arranging our next social activity?But I try not to get offended by her disapproval. I recognize that we each have strengths that complement the other’s weaknesses. We’re stronger as a team. In fact, together, we’re almost a complete human being.So, I accept a certain amount of cajoling and correcting from her. I try to be a better man and meet her in the middle.BUT I’ve noticed when I do that, she doesn’t ease off. She finds it very encouraging when I do something she approves of. So she doubles-down on the scolding and correction.Discouraging and demotivating, eh?Not necessarily. I’ve come to recognize that we both mostly act subconsciously, driven by our internal software. So I try not to get too upset about it—try not to take it personally.When I’m my best self, I laugh and make a little joke of it—my nickname for her is “scoldy.” Believe it or not, she laughs when I call her that. She recognizes it as my friendly signal that she’s crossing the line.Then I might remind her of what I need to be happy and fulfilled. But at the same time, I’ll reassure her of my commitment to her needs and our mutual goals. I may finish with a guarantee of some action on my part. A hug and kiss is always a good way to cap things off.That’s our secret for a happy relationship—a little give and take, caring about the other person, and relaxed communication.So, maybe you’re with the wrong person. You’ll have to be the judge of that. Or, maybe you’re just with a different person and could have a great relationship given a little “peace, love, and understanding.”
Why do some women prefer to have male friends instead of female ones? Is it because women can be more judgmental, harsh, or fake to their friends?
Well yes! I will prefer having male friends to female friends. In fact I have more male friends than female ( Yea, I am one of those "some women" ). Why? BecauseNo over drama. They will react normally to every situation. Nothing like "awww", " hawwww", "omg" or any other exaggerated version of their emotions.They are hardly fake. May be some of them are more practical or diplomatic but nothing very fake. If some guy is saying "Trust me" to me, yes I can actually trust him.Very chilled out attitude. No overthinking. Nothing high profile .Generally they don't give a damn about what to wear, how to behave, what the other person is thinking and other social formalities. So, I will better prefer hanging out with guys in casual tees to roaming in a dress with gals gang.They are always there for you. No exception . I have experienced situations in which my close friends ( Girls) have backed out because of some stupid reason but male friends never! No jealousy factor. When I was in final year and placement session was going on , I have seen so many closed friends( female) bitching about the other girls who got placed before them. That placement session really brought out the true colors of them.You can share anything and everything with any of your male friends. In most of the cases they will keep it with themselves. But in case of female friends, you have to give a second thought even with your childhood best friends. And especially with a girl having a boyfriend. It is by default assumed that if you are sharing with her, it will automatically reach to her boyfriend. But again this is in most of the cases, not every case. This is my personal opinion. May be for some girls its true but for some other it may not. So no offense intended.
