The most hilarious conversation I've ever had with a fellow Paul supporter was with a dear friend who was email-interviewing Julie Borowski. She asked me to ghost-write the interview, and I was dictating slowly over the phone. I had some questions ready for Julie.
Me: Julie, will...you...go...
Nah, they're the biggest betas in the world. We would all do well to remember that posing, preening, sleazy male whores are not often happy people, or secure in who they are. I mean, Vince Neil is now running a poser strip club in Las Vegas. He's been in failed marriages and another one of his...
I agree with pretty much everything you've posted, but I'd like to challenge you on this point. There seems to be a pervasive modern fallacy that the type of sex you are into has zero to do with your character "outside the bedroom." I've been ostracized a thousand times over for dissenting on...
I respect all your calm reasoning, but the statements you're replying to, I think you're giving way too much credit. There's more self-loathing sexism in this thread than a 9th grade locker room in West Virginia.
NCL, this guy seems to agree with you on everything. I think the defense rests. I must be a mail-order bride since I can't really understand what you're saying, but I didn't have any expectations.
At the risk of repeating myself, I'm not arguing for traditional monogamy or celibacy, I'm arguing against the false dilemma. There's enough resources out there now that people should be able to realize there is a middle ground between no-strings-attached, random, anonymous sex and long-term...
I agree with much of what you say. Truly, the churchy moralists among us bear a lot of the responsibility for Tinder, etc, because for centuries they've painted a false dilemma -- be celibate until monogamous marriage, or be a guilty lowlife. Of course men crave a "no strings attached" setup...
This falls into the usual, postmodern/moral relativist argument though. You won't find anyone more sex-positive and open minded than me, but I refuse to accept a non-explanation as an explanation. When someone says "I found someone attractive for sex but not for a relationship" they are...
I think you nailed the PUA fallacy on the head. Men's Rights Greaseball claims to have "Asked 20 women to fuck me in the past month, and they all said yes!". Yeah, but which women? There are billions of human beings in the world and it's not like a PUA goes around picking people at random...
To be jealous of someone, you have to want what they've got, right? I don't want what he's got. I mean I don't know the guy, but the question "are you single?" places both parties outside of the paradigm that I'm even interested in. Without getting into personal stuff, I'm thrilled with my "love...
I have no idea how that plays into the issue exactly, but as this was prior to your hostile, condescending reply I was just being snarky about the preponderance of sexist/evangelical/weird guys who order their brides in the mail, often from the Philippines.
I don't think you're capable of...
Most communication is nonverbal, and most basic judgements of others happen in the first 5 seconds. As our pedestrian-brained, fraternity numb-nut approached that chick she saw immediately that he was body-beautiful and probably just as shallow as she is about dating. So yeah, he got her number...
