I'm a little tired and have issues expressing myself. To sum up my point: apparently (from what people said here and not what I personally read), you judge women for doing some things, while you them yourself. There's this example of when you were bashing women for being too picky, even though you are really picky yourself. If this is the case, it's hypocritical.
I don't say that it's true, I don't know you. However, you seem to have a certain reputation here, so I can't help but be influenced by other people's words.
Like I said before: I do agree with you on many points. On another hand, I don't condemn people for doing things or being a certain way, and then behave that way myself.
I must say one thing though: there are reasons to say that women are often picky on the wrong aspects. They set themselves really high standards which are often ridiculous. Because of that, I've seen women refusing men for stupid and shallow reasons.
I remember that one girl I used to work with. She was dating that guy who seemed really good for her. She was saying how greatly they were getting along. All was there except one thing: he didn't have a car.. yes, she discovered it after a few dates and ended it right away. To this day, I still think that it was a totally retarded reason to give up on a potentially great relationship..

I didn’t condemn women for being picky, nor do I resent them for choosing partners based on things typically perceived as shallow like physical attractiveness, income etc.
What I DO condemn them for is bitching about being single and how there are no good men out there when there clearly are, even those who meet their other criteria.

"I didn’t condemn women for being picky, nor do I resent them for choosing partners based on things typically perceived as shallow like physical attractiveness, income etc."
Attractiveness, yeah, no choice. Income however, I have a big issue with it: women (around here at least) tend to look for income so they can live and have fun using their men's money.
Once again, not all women who want a financially stable man are necessarily gold diggers. All I'm saying is that many of them do.
My brother and my best friend both got financially ruined by their gold digging exes. The worst part: is that they kept giving and giving without realizing that they were used. Well, in this case I actually blame them and all the men who fall in this trap for being blind and bonderline stupid.
"What I DO condemn them for is bitching about being single and how there are no good men out there when there clearly are, even those who meet their other criteria"
Yes, agreed. Be picky as much as you want, but shut the fuck up if you stay alone because of your high expectations. You lose your right to complain.

Yeah, the income thing I don’t necessarily agree with either but have accepted that it is just part of our society, ultimately men need women more than women need men and so they have begun using this as leverage to live a better life. I don’t agree with it but I understand it, however women who exclusively target men for their money are obviously gold diggers, and yes men can easily fall prey to that. I see a lot of women who marry men who likely don’t meet their standards of physical attraction but are financially stable, it seems like a trade up they make late in the dating game when the clock starts ticking. I can’t say I’ll ever really respect that, especially with all of the opportunities women have now in the work force. I acknowledge it is still largely unfair for them and there is still a wage gap it just feels weird.

Our friend MovieBuff has a short and selective memory. This isn't the first time he's done this, sometimes even in the same thread. He absolutely did condemn women for being too picky. His own words from one of his many diatribes against women:
"Why do girls complain about being single then blow off every guy who hits on them?
It makes it seem like it’s just for attention, that they’re so picky they wouldn’t consider 99% of the male population but then they end up with a guy who sells dime bags out of his grandma’s basement."
That's from the thread where another poster tried to tell him men do this too, and it's why that poster passes over women who are slightly overweight. That went right over his head and he translated that into it being "different" because in his head slightly overweight means unattractive, when that isn't what the other poster said at all. So then who's being too picky? He's doing the same thing he's complaining about that, according to him, all women do.
"Be picky as much as you want, but shut the fuck up if you stay alone because of your high expectations. You lose your right to complain."
Amen.

Short memory? You did exactly that.
You: "Why do girls complain about being single then blow off every guy who hits on them?
It makes it seem like it’s just for attention, that they’re so picky they wouldn’t consider 99% of the male population but then they end up with a guy who sells dime bags out of his grandma’s basement."
But you're so picky you translate women who are slightly overweight, even if they meet your other criteria, into their being unattractive, and therefore don't meet your criteria.
