Hmm, I haven't noticed any such problem.  It's very common for an attractive woman to catch my attention, after which I tend to look at her face right away (if possible) and draw some conclusion about her attitude from her facial expression.  I get all kinds of impressions about people this way, and I haven't noticed any reduction in the frequency of "Wow, that looks like a really horrible person who I wouldn't want to have any interaction with" among women I find physically good-looking versus men and women that I don't have that reaction to.

Then again, advertising and hypnosis don't seem to work on me, so I may just be unusual in that regard.

Is there a choice ? NO, we are ONE !

Gun-toting females tend to elicit a modicum of respect from me, at least anyway for as long as they and their firearms are in direct communication with me. After that (immediately after that, in fact) this respect tends to evaporate rather quickly, I find, to be replaced by escape- and avoidance-motivated thoughts and strategies. Something to do with survival, as Darwin might have noted.

Of course being a male my penis might try to interject with some weird suggestions regarding a possible relationship but I tend to overrule it rather curtly in those situations. Must be getting old ...

( ...though to be fair to the organ it never seems to take much offence at being shouted down and is always willing and eager to offer stupid advice again at a moment's notice)

You know, I haven't ever noticed, but I think you may be right.  Crazy gets my back up without regard to gender, but I've never felt that I'm-keeping-my-eye-on-you prickle from Random Woman on Street.  Granted, I don't get that situational wariness often, but I always pay attention when I do.

My guess is that your brain stem (the part that controls what my 7th grade science teacher referred to as the Four F's Responses: Fight, Flight, Feed and Sexual Reproduction...she was awesome) has classified these women as more likely mates than threats.  Part of your brain is too busy trying to figure out how to get her in the sack.  Well, cave or straw hut, more likely.

Perhaps it's my historical proclivity for dating women with borderline personality disorders, but I have a very sharp radar for crazy women.  Granted, that's different than being afraid of them physically.  Statistically, there's very little reason to be afraid of women.  Look it up yourself.  The only time you're likely to be assaulted by a woman in America is when you've been fucking the secretary and she finds out about it.  Other than that, men are virtually always the only physical aggressors.

That's part of our evolution.  Women can't risk themselves in fights.  If there are twenty men in the room and one woman, there's only going to be one baby in the next year.  The men can go bludgeon themselves to death with dessert forks, and as long as there's one standing at the end (both literally and metaphorically) the woman can have a baby.  The men's shenanigans have literally no effect on the population.  On the other hand, every woman you take out of the population takes away the possibility of a baby being born.  Nature selected females who don't risk themselves by doing stupid things like fighting with men.

There are times, EXC, when no matter how bitter I think you are towards women, I can't help but agree with you.

I think taking pictures of women you don't know is generally considered rude.  I try not to be rude to people with rifles in their hands.

Here are a few pictures of some.  There are a few pretty girls in them.  However, there are a lot hotter ones than these... http://ummyeah.com/page/Girls_of_the_Israeli_Army]

I very nearly signed up to a kibbutz a few years back. For the women. Big brain overruled little brain while I was standing outside the relevant agency's pokey looking office in Golders Green, wondering if an atheist who sympathises with the view that the Balfour Declaration was a betrayal of the highest magnitude would be welcome...

I think there's an unspoken element of condescension in interpreting what would otherwise be troubling remarks by these women. In a similar sense that a woman might put up with a bad boy's selfishness under the assumption that it can be changed, a crazy girl's rambling could be interpreted by a guy as potentially exciting (i.e. a sign they're not prudish, or something), rather than disturbing in earnest. If the remarks were more pointed ("I've thought about whether it would be hard to put my future kids in a locked car, and push it toward the river." ) or actually manifest (the sight of her screaming at a sales clerk for half an hour because she didn't say 'hello' right), I doubt you'd be so intrigued by the whole package (not a safe assumption, really, but I'll go with it).

Implicitly, you're probably thinking, "That's cute."
