Hey-O wrote:Because they sure sound desperate. I am continually flabbergasted at the 'young boys club' atmosphere of many of the male posters on TLS. Are you 15? Seriously, the only people I know who are constantly talking about sex are people who have problems (i.e. emotional issues with sex) or those who are not getting enough sex.
Granted I am a little older than many people entering law school (27), but I am really surprised at the immaturity I see demonstrated over and over again.
"Where the hottest girls?" "Where can I get a booty call?" "Law school girls are ugly and I go to NYC to get decent tail."
And then there are the people who treat love and relationships like they are trading cards. Ooh, I've got a Barry Bonds but I want to trade up for a Mickey Mantle.
Grow the fuck up. I can't tell whether to be annoyed to to feel sorry for you all. I think I feel sorry for you. You act like love and relationships are a ridiculous fairy tale and sex is a candy bar. It's sad.
I know I'll get a lot of grief for this but I just wanted to put in my two cents.

People tend to be more forthcoming and let their mouths run loose when anonymously posting in forums. I have a friend who posts on another forum and generally I'm pretty shocked with the comments he makes because he's much more reserved and respectful in person.

Yeah the post sounded female to me. Guys don't get offended by guys acting like guys.
I think the law school men are looking forward to it as cheaper stress relief than keeping the alcohol stash full and ready.
Although that is debatable...

Well done.

One more theory:
OP could be a shemale, and has intimate knowledge of both genders and so really She/He does know what He/She is talking about

Male or female, that doesn't change the fact that OP just needs to get laid.

Thread fail.
OP clearly is female, and I would bet money she has been in "serious relationships" with "mature" guys since like high school. Probably married by now. Try being single for a couple years and see if you aren't willing to step down off your high horse to get a little. I'm sure you'd at least be curious about what your peers were going to be like in law school.
Anyway, second whoever said that the OP is merely a means for her to prop herself up just the same as the people who prop themselves up by posting about the female talent at different schools.

just my 2 cents - there's honestly a big difference in mentality when you're 27 and when you're 21-23...
I'm in the younger group, and personally don't see anything wrong about chasing girls. too damn young to give that up.
when i'm 27-28 though, i'll probably be leaning towards the "serious relationship" mode.
i think both groups can and should respect each other. but the older group can stay the **** away from me at the club and house parties

Truth, a good way to avoid posts that are "immature" is to avoid websites where 21-24 y.o. men post a lot.

haha that's for sure. I do agree with OP on one thing though: the people who complain that law school girls are too ugly to hook up with are almost always making excuses for not being able to get laid.

Truth, a good way to avoid pedophiles is to avoid websites where 25 yr+ old men post a lot.
Really, generalize much?

I'm going to stop posting here, but really? Generalizing that 21-24 y.o. guys would come off as immature to a 27 y.o. woman is uncalled for? I don't know what reality you live in, but I was pretty sure that's almost always true.

Geez. Doesn't anyone date in their own age range anymore?
To be fair, I only date 60 year old women now.

Honestly I think it's harder for a young (21-24 year old) guys to get a puma than a couger. Pumas are all about their careers and dating other "career-minded mature men" and would probably feel distasteful towards young men, whereas a couger will be more attracted to the young man
because he hasn't matured yet.

I don't know, I don't think TLS is representative of most men at law schools. I didn't get this vibe at all from many of the ASDs I went to. Or maybe men just keep the misogyny to themselves when around females and the internet is the place for them to behave like pigs because of the anonymity.

a) TLS will be fairly representative. You just won't see that aspect because, well, you'd have to be around to do that and... you can see the problem there.
b) "other females?"

Confused.
c) It's been established that the misogyny is reserved for when women aren't around. That was identified almost immediately and repeated about 30 times in 30 different ways since.
