Sometimes I think men get a bad reputation, and for the most part, I don't

"Although some men are all around bad guys, and most men do bad stuff once in awhile, don't you think they're pretty nice to have around?"
Well...no. But listen. It's not because I think most MEN are half-rotten. I think most PEOPLE are half-rotten. Being a disabled person alienated by society, I can't help but think that people are somewhat cruel.

" I mean, could you imagine having to lust after other women?"
Yes, I can. I admit, when it comes to figures, we have a better. Fuller bottom, curvy waist, more delicate features (well, usually). And don't forget pheromones (or is it that men have pheromones, and women have antipheromones?): those little triggers that send those testerone-loaded maniacs over the deep end.

"I also think that women get a bad reptuation sometimes, and just like with men, I don't think it's deserved."
...Which makes me ill. I'm so far from the stereotypical feminine, that I'm slightly masculine! Although I have low self-esteem, and that tends to be a more feminine trait. We can blame society for that though, can't we girls?

"What do you love about men?"
They'd rather do stuff, than just talk. Because they're more likely to do dumb things, they can be good for a laugh. I also like when a man is strong enough to pick me up...although that also scares me. Part of me doesn't like that a man could be stronger than me. It's hard to get past the distrust. Most of the things I like about men, though, I also like about women. Most of the things I like about people are unrelated to gender.

I think that our outlook on life determines our story.

"I truly believe that we attract people who our like ourselves. So if you have a rotten attitude towards life, you'll attract people who also have a rotten attitude. That's simply how it is."

I don't really attract people. I just sort of scare them. It's not enough that I warn them about my disabilities (when they actually want to get to know me). Later, they get angry at me for something and I don't know what the hell it is. People are awkward around me, because I am awkward. And then there are those kind of people that use me. Actually, if I do attract people it's the people who are NOT like me--people who are normal, people who are manipulative. I guess I'm just an easy target. But people don't like me, because I'm not like them.

" I don't think it's fair to say that stereotypes about women are wrong and uphold ones about men at the same time."

I don't uphold the men stereotypes. I'm just trying to say, I can see why they are certain ways. Not many women can, I guess. But it seems like whatever I say comes out wrong. That's probably why people don't like me. I'm a train wreck.
