It's a mans world, so put some god damn effort into it

Ok, so at the weekend I was talking over how easy men have it compared to women (this conversation was with a male, and I think he agreed...atleast in my version of events he did).You see, men don’t really have to deal with half as much as women.

I could start with this blog, with the typically generic pose of how men don’t have to go through pregnancy, or even worse, child birth - but as I am completely not sprog friendly,you argue, never do I. So heck, I’ll begin with the alternate (yet still very generic) statement that women have to suffer periods. Now, mean say that they also have to suffer women’s periods...hello, we get this twice over, not only  our own PMT, but every other girlfriend and female family member that we know.But do you know what? That’s not where I am going with this post.

Today is a leapday, an occurrence that happens every four years.Today the newspapers will run stories about women who have proposed to their boyfriends, and of course the fiancés that said yes.  Don’t worry, am not about to go into the evils of marriage or the hardship of divorce (did the second one yesterday). You see woman have to do everything, it’s expected of us. I’m not sure if this is our own undoing for flaunting the ability to multi-task :D or whether it’s purely factual for female brilliance, but it’s true.

Men like to claim that they are the hunter gatherer – but let’s face it, women are the gatherers...how many men do the weekly food shop? Ha,point proven. Woman have fought for years to equal men. Well, we go to work, we work our arses off, we then go home, tidy house and cook dinner. Now, you’re probably under the impression, that I am going to launch into a feminist rant.Well I’m not going to do that either.

Nope, I am going to rant about chat up lines. You didn’t seethat one coming huh?

So the only thing that men are expected to do, is to make a move in the dating game. I mean women can do it, of course we can, but it’s the only thing thats truely expected of males. I know someone, who if reading this, would be shaking his head arguing that women have gone to a lot of bother to get equality, but then revert back to type in the dating game. But, come on it’s men’s responsibility to roll that ball, so could they not put a little more effort in?

I have officially had the worst chat up lines delivered EVER. I mean, I’m not talking the variety that are cheesily focused on your clothing. The below of which, have ALL been said to me:

Is that a ladder inyour tights or a stair way to heaven

 – It’s a ladderNumpty-boy, thanks for pointing that out, I also have a lost button on my coat,would you like to tell me about that too?

Get your coat you’vepulled

– Pulled what exactly? And what has that got to do with mycoat?

I love your dress, itwill look great on my bedroom floor

 – Why? Are you somekind of plus sized transvestite?

No, I am  talkingabout a) really lazy b) totally inappropriate c) ridiculously repulsive chat up lines, which have also been said to me, and here they are...

• Your well fit – fancy a snog
• I love your eyes...theirlike...open
• If you were my daughter I’d touchyou
• If we were in a relationship,could I cum on your boobs?
• I would ‘eat’ you
• If you were dead, I wouldn’t kick you out of bed
• You look like a girl who would take it up the “£$%

See, I really wasn’t kiddingabout the WORST laziest, inappropriate and repulsive chat up lines. How can anyone think that these are acceptable introductions? I I mean, you can really tell why they are single, you can also tell where my hand slapped their cheek.

Yes, I’m single. But I’m single through choice, not situation, and with offers such as the above, the game seriously has to improve.
