As we're near the end.....
I'll throw my two cents in.

You know how women, when they break up with someone or can't find a "decent" man, they complain and whine about how all men are the same and are shits and stuff?

And then when a man breaks up with a woman he says all women are illogical cheating slappers and they're all the same?

I took a good long look at this situation and I came to a conclusion.

A lot of people are twats. Regardless of their sex, many, if not most, people are utter twats to the people they go out with.

Being a twat isn't dependant on your sex. If you're a twat, you're a twat, regardless whether you have a todger or a spampurse. It's not like reverse parking. I have many male friends who are twats to the ladies they frequently dump, and also have an ex-wife who is a major league twat that lives in a world of her own.

If you look at the world less in the sense of men/women, and more in the sense of twat/nice person, it starts to look a lot less confusing. Or is it more? I dunno, I forget.

I wish I was a twat, mind. They have all the fun.

couldn't agree more. Some people are brilliant others are twats. It has very little to do with gender

or race, religion, financial or physical circumstance, sexual orientation or age.

Exactly.
This is why isms don't make any sense at all.

*edit* Apart from age, in one sense. I wouldn't have trusted a 17 year old me as far as I could throw me.

I have a particular interest in this subject just now too
as I have a particularly vocal friend on one of my social networking sites, who is constantly finding "the one" and posting pics of some hulking neanderthal and proclaiming how amazing and sexy he is, then days later come the sad faces and tears and proclamations of how all men are the same.

The temptation to write "try not going out with a complete cunt with a fancy haircut for once" is almost overwhelming, and is made even worse by the fact that only last week in the pub she described me as "one of the good ones". Then promptly pissed off home with some other shit.

Tsk.

Hah! Being one of the good ones-
Means you're invariably left as a last ditch resort.
The 'bad boy' image pulls, no question. Equally, we chaps like to look at the attractive type with her boobs out, (The female equivalent of the bad boy). But these do not good wives make. The 'good ones' are cerebral as well as being attractive. But the ogleable ones are better in the sack- probably because they have a better self image. Which will last longer? Which one will look after you in your dotage?

This
is very true :D

Which is why I feel I have won a secret, hollow victory each time I see those sad faces :P

Although, re-reading your post,
I get the idea that this may be a girl you entertain late night thoughts about. She may only be looking for a shallow relationship at the moment. Even though she cries when it goes wrong!
My wife said (at Christmas) she'd found her diary from when we met. In it she'd written, "Cute guy, couldn't spend the rest of my life with him, but the sex is awesome." And it was. Guess what, we're now married. The sex? Hmmm, occasional.

Very true
The problem is the twat-factor is not immediately apparant and can take years to unearth.

This is true,
as I discovered to my dismay.

The "twat" factor may not be gender dependant
but you won't know how much of a bitch a woman is until you dump her/she dumps you. That's the point you find out how much of a cunt she can really be. They've known this for years, that's why they said that bit about "fury" and "women scorned"
