Ahh ok.
So you're talking about my doctor friend? The doctor friend i said was hot?
The same doctor friend that would write relentless messages on my facebook saying 'looking hot' etc etc. "did your boardshorts split?",
hahaha.
Gotchya. You're judging me on a male female relationship that i shared.
I guess you missed the context.
Apologies for thinking it was my ex.
Still pretty touchy on that a few years later...obviously.
C'mon mate, don't go charging in half-cocked and then play the victim when you get called out.
At least own it and say it was a mistake and you've moved on.
We'd all be lying if we said we didn't think that way sometimes.

All good mate.
But please remember we're basically on the same side.
This thing of potential allies turning on each other is shit.
We can all be cunts if we want to be but it'd be better if we weren't.
OK AndyM
Like i said, alot of admiration but i've got my touchy points.
I still think of my ex every single day, every single hour.
And i'm still in touch with her mum.
It isn't an excuse but it will explain why i get so aggressive on this issue.
I would love to see a shift in attitude.
Still love ya.
Night.
G’day @wax24, are you out there?
Humour me if you may. In my now dated discussions with many of your fellow countrymen/women while touring throughout Europe I was surprised to learn that in school the only history studied was US and very few had exposure to say European history or more correctly I should say where European and US history crossed (WW2) all seemed very knowledgeable. Now I'm not being rude here because I studied Australian history all through high school and into university and it wasn’t until university that I truly got exposed to our true indigenous history of murder and dispossession, so it maybe a generation thing (^^ US school curriculum and AU).
My point, fuck what is my point? Yes, US education, apparently with young voters in this election there was a divide between boys and girls and young blokes voted Trump more so than young women who just happened to be higher educated. No judgement as it rings true, less pay than girls of the same age, perhaps more reason to be disaffected more reason to vote for trump … any insightful comment on my rambling?
Brother you were aggressive a long, long time before any supposed mention of your ex.
Anyway the shift in attitude has been happening for a long time and is continuing.
And we need deep breaths and cooler heads with regards to so much at the moment.
Disappointing AndyM.
Unfortunately you still haven't learnt from your bro's sesh.
It'll happen again, and you'll probably brag about it here on SN because it's a safe space from women.
The tables will turn one day.
Maybe next time, consider the time, (trump the woman hater wins),context (the night Trump wins) and think, maybe i should offer a bit of love instead of ridicule, regardless of my bogan Lennox mates. Goes a long way.
Hey Guy.... A coupla years ago, here at work, i was having a conversation where Churchill came up. A 23 yr old (female) nurse had a blank stare, so i asked her what she knew of Winston Churchill. She had no idea who i was talking about. I was gobsmacked. I shouldn't have been, because there have been many little snippets like this in recent years, where i have come to be of the opinion that US education Sucks.
(Then i tell myself i am getting old and cranky and think about more important things, like which flavor in Neapolitan ice cream is REALLY my fave?)
Used to be different. I was learning Western Civilization starting at 10 yrs old. That course began at the crucifying of Christ and ran thru to the American Revolution. Then again, i was sent to private school, where it cost the parents a fortune.
I think it was VJ and i think it was a page or two ago on this thread, where a vid of Scott Galloway was posted. That'll do a much better job than me of explaining the current disconnect with young men in SeppoReich.

From DT to JP , what a line up , thanks for answering but no thanks.
I’m so confused. Are AndyM and Southern mates outside of swellnet?
AndyM wrote:Yeah there're some pretty emotional people around at the moment.
Went out to the local bowlsie last night and for shits and gigs, a few mates turned up with little American flags, trucker hats and tactical vests.
A fella at a different table had a Make Lennox Great Again hat, which I thought was hilarious.
We were having Iwo Jima moments with the American flag when a young chick at the next table starts mouthing off with calls of "racists" etc etc.
I dare say she had zero sense of humour and wouldn't know what irony or a piss-take was.
I've seen her around before and she seems quite nice, it's just a shame that she's gone full basic.
And I hope when it comes to Australian politics she's equally as passionate but maybe a bit less inclined to latch onto hysterical false dichotomies.
hahaha what a bunch of characters Lennox has. I daresay your wall would probably have to be built to the north of you.
Nothing so colourful seen down here.

Aussies are going woke for sure.
That has certainly happened around here since covid, but just like the US election has shown, there's a cohort of younger men than the wokeys,who are marginalised by current society in Australia as well - a shock result is certainly possible here.
With regard to conversation above, the stat I saw on election night was that voters in this election were 53% female. So this result has been achieved with a slight female majority, which adds more riddle and enigma to it.
Not so much to me, VJ. There are
a number of statistical rabbit holes to find shelter in…. but the fact is that Trump built a broad coalition. He didn’t carry any coalition firmly, but carried all demostratably.
The middle ground (in case you’ve roiled your nose at “Silent Majority”) spoke.
Within that truth are an infinite number of anxieties.
