Um. No. I'm one of those guys that doesn't understand nor want to take part in all of the bull**** that one seems to have to go through when attracting a partner.
And I was mostly referring to the "Guy standards? She's gotta have a vagina. Oh look! There's one! and another and another and another and another...." comment...and realize how being lumped in with guys that ARE like that are NOT helping my cause.
The only time I would ever call my partner 'Woman!' would be if I finish the quote with "WHERE is my Super Suit!?...WHERE. IS. MY. SUPER. SUIT?!"

That's awesome. Loved that movie and curious if they will make another one at some point.

Your response to my first part about murder tells me that you are taking everything I say waaaaaaaaay too seriously. Remember, entertaining debate.

But I guess we all have our opinions. No one is going to agree with everyone. There will be men out there that say women are more evil, some will say men...same goes for women as well.

But thats what I was getting at when I said I know more than you do about our "evil" ways, because, according to you, I'm the one DOING the evil ways. You can infer thought from actions all you want, but you will never fully understand the thought being put into the actions, unless you are the one doing it. Know what I mean?

Haha, definitely. There is really no one definition of "evil," people are too complex to analyze (and apply the analysis to a general population with consistent results), and I'm pretty sure no one that has responded to this thread has a PhD in psychological research, specializing in the interaction of males and females in relationships... That makes all of our posts just a bunch of unsupported BS

Though I did read a good article the other day on how men and women can't be 'just friends'.

Matt is right-well, partly anyways. We can certainly examine human constructs and provide valid and reliable results from construct to construct (i.e. measure samples using standardized tools and attribute our findings to the general population), but evil is like love; not really something you can operationalize, which is why the construct of 'evil' isn't one that is examined in any modern (experimental) studies published in peer-reviewed journals (there's some descriptive research on the topic, but that's not what we're talking about here). There are also, as far as I know, no measurement tools looking specifically at 'evil'.
Its more like you'd study 'dishonesty', 'aggression', or other variables that people typically feel evil encompasses, and measure those; but first you'd have to operationalize evil, which is a lot easier said than done! Plus since like love, what encompasses evil is so subjective from person to person, so its pretty problematic to discuss actually examining it. After doing a brief lit review, the concept of evil has been discussed in social psychology, specifically by Phillip Zimbardo (made famous for his role as Principal Investigator of the Stanford Prison Experiment). Zimbardo's discussions of evil, however, are simply done in descriptive research. To my knowledge no experimental research has been done, and like I said, I don't think any measurement tool exists specifically measuring the concept of 'evil'. To even attempt to create a measurement tool you'd need to create sub-scales measuring variables like the ones I mentioned above.
In terms of my emphasis in psych and the research I've done, I've definitely studied male and female differences at length, among both adolescents and young adults (developmental psychopathology is my specific emphasis). Differences among the genders is actually a big part of my thesis, but not really in a way that pertains to this discussion...sooo, yeah. Okay, I'm done for now *sticks her nose back in a book*

Well, I only have a measly Masters degree in Academic Research in Psychology, and I assisted with and then coordinated a Psychometrics research team for 6 years, but I'll respond all the same
