Because we have nothing better to do. :)

Growing up on the street with no loving parents is sufficient reason to be emotionally immature.
Why would forsaking romance be considered "immature"? It is a perfectly valid (although relatively unusual) personal choice that can be made by people of all ages.

Well, in my opinion it is a just a female fantasy that there is something deficient, broken or "immature" about a (non-gay) man who doesn't worship them 24-7 the way they are used to.
Of course a woman who doesn't depend on the approval of men is considered "independent", but this is just another example of the double standards that have infiltrated contemporary thought.

Interesting.

No smily brings confusion on whether that is sincere.

Whereas we WOMEN thieves make sure our hair's properly and neatly concealed under that hood. WOMEN thieves make sure to look sexy even when robbing the bank! WOMEN thieves make sure that we're perfumed to a tee and that our swords are clean! :joke:
A good thread this one. Gender politics are often pretty heavy handed when it comes to videogames, but at least lg create rounded, three dimentional characters.
As for women thieves dressing nicely, there may be more to this than first of all meets the eye. I believe it was Jane Austen that said:
"Dress is at all times a frivolous distinction, and excessive solitude about it often destroys it's own aim".

Women are used to men worshiping them 24/7? That's funny, I thought it was the other way around. :nono:
Also, I don't understand why you think an emotionally immature man would be a female fantasy. Maybe it's the fact that women are attracted to flawed men, or that they think they can "fix" whatever's broken about the guy. . .in that case, then maybe so. Sure ain't my fantasy, though.

As comedian Jeremy Hardy pointed out, "a woman could sit in a vat of her own excrement at a celibacy convention and
someone would chat her up".
I've never met a woman who had problems getting attention and interest from the opposite sex (getting attention from a desirable person may be a problem though). If a man wants such attention he has to go out and compete for it, unless he is Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.

You didn't read what I said.

Ok, I get it now. That sentance was a little confusing. Keep in mind, though, a lot of the attention given to women by men is unwanted.
