Men Are Better Then Women – FSF

by Jeremy Schoemaker on July 27, 2007 · 64 comments

men are better than womenDick Masterson from Men Are Better Than Women sent me a white and black shirt. I wore the shirt out last night to the gym and observed peoples reaction. I was surprised I barely got in the door and a guy came up and told me he thought the shirt was hilarious and asked me where I got it. I tried to explain to him that I had a website where on Fridays people send me free shirts and I wear them and link to there company and somehow he could not get passed that =P. He just kept saying “hey wait so you just started a website and people send you free shirts so you talk about there companies?” I am sure most of you reading know how its difficult to explain what you do to people who don’t know anything about internet marketing…

Ok so I made it into the locker room and decided I would wear the shirt working out. 2 other men noticed it and said they thought it was a riot. Then a woman came up to me and asked me where I got the shirt and said she thought it was hilarious. I told her menarebetterthanwomen.com and also explained that she might find the website offensive. Her mother who was with her did look a bit offensive and told me the > sign needed to be pointed the other way.

ANYWAY I have worn every shirt out that I have gotten and I have never gotten as much attention to a shirt (in a positive way) as this one. Dick Masterson truly gets marketing. I also noticed he has a book on Amazon that you can preorder AND if your sitting back and thinking this guy is full of bull the book is being published by Simon and Schuster!

I thought the site was pretty hilarious (if you have a sense of humor).

I think this website will blow up really soon… I mean its so viral…. I doubt he will ever need to buy any links!

Can’t say I totally agree with the shirt – but it IS hilarious – and do have an INCREDIBLY hard time explaining what I do for a living just like you shoe lol.. I think it’s so hard to explain because there’s no common university degree or career path to relate it to – I just tell people I “run websites” :p

Awesome shirt, speaking of shirts and good marketing, I have been meaning to ask you; Did you make the AuctionAds shirts that neon green to attract more attention? If so, genius.

Oh, by the way…..I wouldn’t wear that shirt anywhere near the gay bar – you’d be screwed for sure (literally)….LOL!

If a women would wear it, i would believe the sign means: “I’m shy please take the initiative”. So i can understand why the women wanted the Shirt. That the “>” is meant in mathematical context is not realy obvious.

It can’t be a very big website because it is a well known fact that men are only better than women at two things – reading maps and parking.

I’m actually surprised so many people “on the street” knew what the “>” sign meant. Cool shirt like, but i think round here, i’d have to spend more time explaining it to people ;-)

This is really disappointing. Can you make it a month without posting sexist crap?

Sorry, I correct myself. This isn’t even sexist, it is misogynistic, it is really disgusting and has no place in our industry.

42 Chris July 29, 2007 at 6:04 pm

Ugh, I despise people like you anna. You’re what is wrong with society. People like you always have to find something to bitch about, and make it about yourself. No place in our industry? Its the internet, get a life you worthless cunt.

Am I the only one who thinks the shirt could be seen as being kinda gay though? I have a feeling that some people will take it as you like men more than you like women.

Anna, you are what is wrong with society.

Fantastic piece of marketing right there, simple and to the point. Although with the web address somewhere on the shirt it could prove to be an even better viral marketing tactic.

that sign doesn’t mean “better” it only means “bigger”
so it only means “men are bigger than women”
and that’s no offence for me :)

It takes balls to wear that shirt in public. Balls make you better though I guess according to the shirt/

It sure is really difficult to explain to people about websites and what you do and how you can make money online. The guy must have been going nuts thinking about what kind of a website you have where you get free shirts every Friday :D

The website would be funny… if he was joking. This guy legit thinks men are better than women–that women can’t do math, that all women are prostitutes, that women cannot organize, etc. He is an absolute moron, and I can’t believe you would seriously wear his shirt. This absolutely disgusts me. I would also like to point out that you made several grammar mistakes in your writing. Obviously men are not better than women at the English language. Go figure.
