Daystorm said it well: men do talk like this to each other lot. When I post in a forum labeled "Men Focused Support", I post as if I were sitting in a room solely with other men.

I don't devalue or think less of women either. When I made my previous post stating that most women manipulate men or prey on their emotions, I meant what I said, but I didn't intend for that statement to be an insult. In fact, a woman's natural ability to manipulate and perceive emotions is one of the bigger reasons why I respect women. It takes a lot of intelligence to be a skillful manipulator and intelligence and cunning are two of the traits that I value and respect the most.

I probably should of worded my post better and I will probably be made to eat my words when BlueCrustacean logs back on, but so be it. Everybody makes mistakes and I'm no exception. So what if I offended a few people? It's no big deal because I'm fallible like everybody else. Apologizing or caring about the implications from what I said is pointless at this point.
