I know women have there own issues with dating and based on stuff I've read on this forum they especially need to be warry of predatory men. As such, while searching google for things to make fun of this board's resedent "Nice Guys(TM)" I stumbled accross this:

"I'm a hopeless romantic"

I don't really get what that means.

That chart is absolutely ridiculous. Not everyone against feminism hates women, nor is someone's preference for their own ethnicity a result of hate toward anyone else. A person can also be staunchly against homosexuality, and its not due to repressed shame or guilt. I think diagrams like that - even when posted in jest - do a lot more harm than good. They tie into the Marxist / Communist / politically correct "everyone's a victim but the majority" agenda.

Surely it's not to be taken seriously by most people - however, like everything, there are some that fit the model.

What else can one conclude about people who hate a philosophy that espouses equality of the sexes?

"I am against feminism, so I am against people thinking that both genders have the same worth, but I am not against woman? Ehm...sorry if you have the opinion that you are not against woman, if you "only" want them to accept that they are worth less then you, only because of their genders, but for my opinion, that means, you have something against me. Simply turn that mention against you: "Not everyone opposing, men not being less worth then woman, is against men." O_o

Nope, but its a clear statement that such things like ethnicities exist for you and have an importancy for you, when meeting other people. The statement you did of "your own ethnicity", involves that you part your neighborhood into their ethnicities, differenting them into "your" and "theirs", meaning that they are something else then you.

Sure you are not forced to feel ashamed or guilty, when staunchly deciding out of fun to oppose other people, that dont harm anyone and so worsen their life by you doing so. But as you are free to reject people out of fun and without any cause, I am free to reject people that decide to reject other people without any reason and worsen their life out of fun.

You are right, the true victims are the ones, that dont like people, thinking both genders having an equal worth, splitting their neighborhood into people of "their ethnicity" and the "other ethnicity" and that decide without reason to oppose and reject people, that dont harm anyone.

A few nitpicks:

"I would prefer to date people my own skin colour" Translation: "It's not hard enough to find someone compatible -let's go ahead and dramatically narrow the field P.S. I'm a racist"

First of all, there is no affirmative action in dating, choosing who to date is a highly personal choice. What if someone finds Asians more attractive than black people for example. Is it just because you find people of one particular ethnic group more attractive than another make you a racist. Also, some people say that because of cultural differences. I posted a comment in another thread asking another WP member if part of people saying that they don't want to date aspies may have to do with ableism, she replied that she wouldn't call it ableism because dating is a personal choice and it's their choice not to date people with lax interpersonal skills. How is this different when someone chooses not to date someone within a specific ethnic group, whether it's due to physical attraction or due to cultural differences?

"I will not date someone even slightly overweight" Translation: "I do that thing where you mistakenly think it's ok not to address your grotesque personal failings as long you're honest about them"

Same as above, that's a personal choice. I personally wouldn't mind dating someone who is only slightly overweight but again, this may have to do with physical attraction which is more important to both men and women with regards to dating than what you may think.

Mentioning 'skin color' preference is often said by racist minds.

However, a lot of girls told me they prefer a dark guy, and those usually mean the darker variation of Caucasian. Same for guys who say they prefer blondes or whatever.

Aren't those preferences a bit subconsciously racist too?

Does preference for adult women make one an ageist?

It's a silly question, I know, but that's what's wrong with the argument going on here about turning preference for skin color into racism.

Oh my, I've just realized I am ageist, intellectualist, secularist and "healtheist" :P

But the term 'of my own skin color' has a different weight, to be honest.

The attractiveness of someone, is something that you recognize, when you meet a person. If you are deciding already before meeting someone, that you want to think of him as less attractive, because of him having this or that race, its simply a prejudice on purpose by you. There is nothing bad if I say, that an asian men might be less often attractive to me, when I meet him, because of asians being in general rather small and slim and having an slightly female touch for me. But prefering to date this or that is nothing about instinctive affection when meeting someone, but an decision done out of purpose. Having the instinctive impression that asian men look in general a bit more female to me, is not the end of the world. There are still hot asian men existing for me, the general ratio simply is a bit lesser. But thats no reason to "prefer not to date" those. Specially when its about dating for relationships and not One-night-stands. For a one-night-stand I need high physical attraction and basic emotional attraction. For an relationship I need high emotional attraction and basic physical attraction. Someone reducing lots of people out of his "dating pools" only because of minor outer appearance reasons, expresses very open that he cares much more for outer preferences of an possible partner, while inner preferences seem to play no role for him. So an asien men might have less chances to impress me with his physical appearance, but still has the same chances as every men to impress me with his character, so there would ne no reason for me not to date those, when I know, that from out of the many reasons, that you fall in love with someone, only the reasons about outer external appearance might be affected. So I definitely dont want to date someone physically disgusting me, but basic physical attraction is absolutely sufficient, if you have other attractive benefits instead. While someone declaring open "to prefer not to date ..." simply declares, that he dont thinks that any amount of non-physical attractive benefits, could match out the "negative physical attractiveness" of a person depending on its race. And, sorry, thats simply a sh***y thought out of my opinion.

Maybe I might think, that someone still thinking that physical attraction is THAT important for an relationship, that his expectations must be met by all means, so even 5 minor pounds too much are already more important for him, then someones personality ever can be... simply has no clue about what relationships are about. Or simply dont have totally other preferences about relationships as I do. Anyway: An relationships between us both, simply wont work, so there is no reason to start dating someone, whom I already know, that this hardly will be the person, I want to share the rest of my life with.

If you have a preference for women and won't date men, are you sexist?

Sorry, but every judgment I do before meeting someone, is simply stupid. Simply meet a person, and if you like her/him, then you like her/him, and if you dont like her/him then you dont like her/him. But telling yourself: "Oh, I cannot allow myself to like that person if I meet her, because of her official document showing this and that age." is in my oppinion as stupid as telling myself that I do not want myself to fall in love with someone of that race, because of that person having that race.

No, but you are ridiculous if you want to compare an real existing difference, that exists in general between men and woman, and affects many attributes in a broad variety, with the ignorable difference of skin colour, affecting nothing of any importance, when it comes to dating.

I don't hate feminism, I do however have a disdain for women that join a movement about equal rights that simply have no idea what equal rights even means, or that the entire planet can't be equal 100% of the time as much as we would like it. Much like any movement with a good cause it gets hijacked by idiots.

Would that be a sexist thing to say?

Also, funny guide, Geekon!

The vast majority of women are varying degrees feminists (aka wanting equal rights..etc), it would be wiser to just say something like "I hate radical people with radical ideologies" that would include any radical and hateful branch of "feminism" (ie. like those who call for castrating males...etc)
