It's funny how this bitch is open minded about men being gay but is very shallow about a man being nice. But it's sad that way of thinking is too common.

I read this woman's blog attacking nice men with her weird theories and assumptions, whats so sad people adhere to this kind of stupidity. Maybe thats why a lot of young women go for assholes and reject good men because of unfounded assumptions being made by idiots like Tedra Osell.

After reading her blog that does not surprise me at all. Her comments were the kind of comments you would expect from a ghetto acting, hood rat kind of female. You just don't expect this from an educated women with a PHD. She said it creeped her out when the guy she was dating gave her a gift. Isn't that what a boyfriend should do every once in a while? Thats just one of numerous weird things she said.
