Hmmm...


I always suspect there's a coded message from women who make sweeping comments about what men seek in the fairer sex as a justification of their lack of success ;-).


For example I reckon there's a tendency in overbearing controlling women to claim that there's nothing wrong with their own behaviour, it's just that men want vacant bimbos. Rather than recognise that in reality they're pushy and avaricious, these women instead claim to be an 'action woman' - and rather than recognise that they're mean and self-centered, instead they claim that men have a problem when they 'go running for mummy'.


All of my mates have very beautiful, proactive, generous and capable partners - so there's no evidence that these are qualities best avoided in women....

Then there could be overbearing, selfish, action women with a bevvy of admirers and the energy to enjoy many of them.

Actually and observationlly, most of the properly intelligent men I know seem to be partnered with equally intelligent women so some sexist horrendous crappy steretypes going on here....from the ladies. Most of the men I know with 'bits of trinket fluff' (mmmmm) are themselves of the dense variety.

It takes all sorts Hugo. There are plenty of men who like it that way :))

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
