A whole lotta words for a 30+ year old woman who has a lot of relationship dysfunction and emotional instability. You are really triggered. Keep making posts trying to prove your femininity to an imaginary audience while you chase for a man who doesn't want you, sis. I know it hurts!

Are you even an Aries?? LOL You're all over this post because *you* are triggered. As a masculine woman, this kind of discussion makes you feel insecure. But that's your isssue to work on, not ours. Is going back-and-forth with random strangers going to make you any more desirable or happy in life?? No dear, it's not. I don't chase men. I don't lack quality male suitors. I have a strong sense of self. And I'm very stable. Sorry to disappoint you! I don't know who you thought you were describing but it ain't me - most likely yourself! Find another way to make yourself feel better, hun. Cuz you have #FAILED

All that writing and typing just to sound like a little 15 year old. How are you so emotionally undeveloped at the wizened age of 32? And also, I doubt you have a long term relationship or any man who stayed with you and actually wanted you just based on your posts here. As I said, triggered.
By the way, your hatred towards other women is cute, but unsurprising considering the level of insecurity and transparency you have. Did you have a good father figure in life, or any worthwhile relationships lasting 3 years or longer? IP: Logged |

You hate other women so much and you're also childish, trust you're no catch to any man on this planet except the ones willing to settle for aging scraps. You are very emotionally and mentally unstable lol, spoiled goods as a man would say, and I know you do put stock in male opinion more than female.

I have no problem having a man or getting male sexual attention, so it's funny you're trying to use that as an insult to undermine me. I assume you think a man who wears high heels and lipstick is a woman as long as he's feminine enough? Strange. You also sound unattractive, corny, and rather silly, also considering the average mental age of the regular person who posts on Lindaland that is also a negative. Men are like dogs, you're easy to please as long as the woman is pleasant looking, in relative shape, and has a youthful appearance. There's no prize to be had in the majority of men, and admitting this has nothing to do with my femininity, or lack thereof. Dick has no value. However, vagina does. You seem to get triggered that I said you couldn't get the women you said, you were talking about ******* them like they would **** you. Women don't have low standards like men do, the only women who put stock into what every dick wants tend to be aging (like OP), unattractive, or fat. Women in their prime or attractive women know how disposable men are and irrelevant the vast majority of them are. Men obsess over and emulate women, you never see the opposite happening, unless when women want equal rights and I guess that's emulating a man in a way. It's weird how you think femininity is hating other women like the OP is doing, tho, surely being feminine is loving your other woman in a sisterly fashion, like how men put "bros over hoes" and whatnot?

i didn't assume i knew your sexuality, so i wasn't necessarily talking about men but there's that projection, you being an angry lesbian wouldn't have surprised me though if i'm going to be honest the reason why i assume you must not be getting laid is the level of bitterness you're displaying towards men and also women (seems like you could use another person paying attention to you to help get rid of some of your hostility) i'm bi so if i want sex it's not really a big deal to me if there's a vagina involved, and whether or not you'd like to believe i'm unattractive because you dislike what i've said it doesn't change my reality that's more projection on your part insulting me based on your imagination doesn't hit home, you should try something else anyway being hard to please isn't exactly a virtue as far as anyone other than the person who's overly critical is concerned, so congratulations you view other people as worthless while elevating yourself based on genitals you have through biological chance you don't look at people you find physically attractive and think you'd **** them? it's not something that's solely about women for me, they could be either gender if i see something i like my mind goes to sex just how it is does it matter to me if i'm actually going to **** that specific person? not really there's a lot of people out there and i literally judge every single adult who isnt way too old i meet sexually in my head at one point or another regardless of gender you think it's woman specific because then i'm whatever man you want me to be that you feel superior to there are women who obsess over and emulate men, and vice versa that's not gender specific happens both ways, maybe not in your bubble but outside of it sure that's irrelevant though no i don't see femininity as women hating each other (you seem to be the only actually hateful one here, i wonder if you realize how much what you say comes off like bitter projection and insecurity) but i do see it as playing up inherently feminine features and roles regardless of sexuality being involved or not because that's just what it is like i said having a vagina doesnt make a woman feminine IP: Logged |

Oh "le angry lesbian" projection. What's the problem with being a lesbian, anyways? Women are sexy, they are beautiful, certainly more attractive than men, who usually don't care about their appearance because they deluded themselves into thinking women don't care about looks. LOL! If I said you're an angry homosexual, you would call me homophobic. But yet lesbophobia is accepted for some reason. >I'm bi Say no more fam, I don't even consider you a viable sexual partner for me. Bisexual men are honestly sexually repulsive to me, and also considering bisexual men like dick in the booty and like to suck it, it's no wonder they don't think simply having a vagina is feminine, because they would **** a guy in drag if they were hot enough. Honestly, as a bisexual man you shouldn't be in a topic about someone being feminine, considering your kind is considered affeminate on its own. IP: Logged |

it isn't projection, i said it wouldn't surprise me because a lot of the women i've encountered who speak the way you do are lesbians so just like i expect a knife to be sharp but understand that's not always i felt the same about you possibly just not liking men at all i agree women are beautiful, and have nothing against women who recognize that, though i prefer bi women for obvious reasons i'm not exactly caught up on people's preferences if you said i seemed gay i'd assume i said something that made me seem that way and wouldn't connect it to homophobia not sure why you instantly go there here's an idea though since you don't know me maybe don't assume you know where i'm coming from and talk to me based on things i'm not actually saying, it doesn't work well and it leads to you saying irrelevant **** arguing with projections and whatnot i don't care if you would think i was a viable sex partner because you're not my type regardless of what you look like, i prefer women who know the difference between being an individual and being overly aggressive assuming that makes them stand out as somehow better when it seems more like feeding a personal inferiority complex by being hateful it's hypocritical at best that you even say it given the first thing you said to me, though i guess you think gender reversal makes it so different, which honestly undermines everything you've said at this point no i don't think having a vagina makes someone feminine because there are many qualities associated with femininity and it takes multiple ones for me to consider someone feminine (this has nothing to do with a person's actual gender like i said a woman can be masculine and still a woman that's separate) i'm not usually into feminine men, but i wouldn't turn one down if they were hot enough no same could be said for a masculine woman though if someone isn't usually my type i can still like them but that has nothing to do with anything btw i'm here as a bisexual man because i've been with an aries moon woman for 14 years and i was initially just responding to what someone said about not being sure how two aries moons work together edit: wouldnt me being effeminate just mean i understood femininity on some level and was? since a man being effeminate just means he displays feminine qualities i'm not getting the logic behind that last statement you've talked about femininity and men multiple times now it seems part of you recognizes femininity isnt a matter of genitals so doesn't that just logically translate into women embodying femininity being more than just their vaginas? at least be consistent instead of just argumentative IP: Logged |

I don't care if you don't care, son, you unironically post on Lindaland. This automatically makes me question your intellectual capabilities, and you wouldn't have been my type even if I saw you and liked you as a friend.
No, feminine and masculine are societal boundaries with SOME biological bearing. Dude, I'm not of the obsessive "feminine" and "masculine" fake socially engineered crap that's been pushed out in Western society for the past 60 years, considering how much it changes based on society, ect. Also the projection argument doesn't work here, what am I projecting? I personally don't care for your existence, or 90% of the userbase on here, so what are you even going on about? The fact you're even humoring OP to begin with,... lol smh. This site is full of seriously touched people is all I will say. It's no wonder it's a joke to serious astrologers.

you post on here too do you question your own? very inconsistent with the way you speak and what you actually do why are you telling me i'm not your type? i haven't hit on you, do you think that just because you have a vagina every man in your vicinity wants it? that's not how it works you know the projection argument works in the sense that you're speaking to me by responding in a manner that comes off like you're speaking to someone you've made up and are projecting your imagination onto instead of reading what i'm saying and actually processing it and responding when someone is responding to their assumptions instead of reality that's projection, it has nothing to do with how much you care or not so i'm not sure why you're telling me how little you care i never claimed you did or assumed you did so how is it relevant? what i said is you seem insecure because generally speaking people who put themselves on a pedestal while lashing out at everyone around them are and it's typical behavior does that mean you care about anyone here? no, and usually people who are both those things lash out on people they don't care about or know well because it's inconsequential so assuming you cared would be odd on my part which is why it was never brought up also projections generally happen during conversation as a result of not caring what an individual is saying or who they are because substituting your own reality will suffice when what you really want to do is argue so you not caring is almost a given when i read charts on my own i actually don't use the methods most people here use, however i still find discussions intriguing and it gives me something to do i also enjoy posting on anonymous message boards about political views i don't have to argue with people i agree with just to see how they defend their views and how convincing i can be (i also enjoy seeing how easy it is for me to talk to people i disagree with as if we felt the same) because i just like to talk **** to kill time whether or not you feel like this is a quality site or agree with the use of tropical/placidus houses (the default here) etc has nothing to do with the people here and blanket insulting all of them just seems petty you're legit just being petty now yelling "i'm better than this and all of you" for reasons i have yet to see you display because everything you've shown me of you hasn't exactly been worthwhile and i think you know that much you're illogical and inconsistent but you're not a complete idiot so i assume you have some level of self awareness and can look back at all the **** you've said thus far and know it's not exactly impressive when you act like that then fall back on a holier than thou attitude on the bright side you only seem to care about your own views and perspective so at least all your ranting is leading to some self satisfaction regardless of how it comes off to anyone outside of your head IP: Logged |

It's misogynistic to refer to a woman as "aging scraps". What the hell? @Dumuzi. Getting laid is easy. Finding someone compatible, who isn't a douche, etc - that's the hard part. Bitterness can come from being hurt a lot - and I think that TuxLuigi is a man. Not sure, though. Good old Lindaland. Always a fight going on. Linda was an attractive woman, and I wish that more women could be seen as attractive in various ways, instead of what's considered to be "hot" - and I say this as someone who only ever heard that she was "hot" and "sexy". Didn't have the prettiest face, so I wasn't a complete catch, but my body was a draw. To the men who matter, all of you will be important to them. Personality, intellect, dreams/wishes, and so on. It would also be nice for women to be respected as they age. ~ April 14th Ram. IP: Logged |

Phenomenal Woman BY MAYA ANGELOU
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me.
I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can’t see. I say, It’s in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Now you understand Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. I say, It’s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need for my care. ’Cause I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me.

Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Maya Angelou, "Still I Rise" from And Still I Rise: A Book of Poems. Copyright © 1978 by Maya Angelou.
