Calandale, that is precisely what has been hardest for me to learn: how to pay attention to caring and sensuality. It is quite elusive, sensuality I think. But I'll keep trying till I'm married to a nice, hippie biology babe (or a math girl would be cool too) :) I think the other guy, DataSage, is fooling himself if he thinks using women like papertowels is a good thing.

you've kept, since you've become so full of yourself?


2 years...

And I lived with her for a year and a half. We were faithful to each other, and the reason we broke up was because she was going in a very different direction than I was in life, not to mention she was moving clear across the country. Between school and other family issues, it would not have worked for either of us. I still had 2 years left of undergrad.

Regardless, that relationship's end had nothing to do with who we were as people. It was just that events did not pan out in the way we thought.

He's also fooling himself if he thinks we believe it.

Talk about protesting too much.

I don't expect people to believe anything. I offer advice, not a f*****g religion.

In what way does ranting on and on about how "awesome" you are, and how you have women crawling over you like fleas, constitute "advice"?

Hey, kids, I got an idea, let's go cherry pick some of my posts.

:roll:

Just because I give advice in here doesn't mean I'm prohibited from adding my own opinion in other threads. My megathread has more advice from one member in it than this whole forum put together.

But, these are statements that you made
IN DEFENSE of your advice. Not some
random bit of joking. And this attitude
pervades your advice. A whole con-artist's
approach to impressing women, as far as
I can see.

Of course it doesn't. Indeed, we can be thankful for it,
as it shows more of what goes into what looked like
bad advice. And the truth about what you seem to
be only highlights that initial opinion. I have to say,
the MORE I read of your posting - either in that thread,
or elsewhere, the LESS attractive your ideas seem. At
first, I simply dismissed them as silly and useless. Now,
I'm seeing them as harmful.

Ah yes, perhaps. But the quality, dear sir, the quality.

I agree.

And I'm not prohibited from pointing out the fact that you're full of it.

That's relative. Just because you have some Ayn complex in here is not indicative of me being "wrong" and "full of it." If you don't like it fine, but don't try to bastardize someone else just because the way they do things gets your panties in a twist.

Correct.

You've provided the indicators all on your own.

OK, I took another look.

It doesn't appear any more intelligent than it did before.

Here's another technique, kids: When logic utterly fails you, and you've lost the argument completely, put the other person down in a way that implies you won!

It'll make it almost look like you did win! Kind of.

I was recently in a grass fight with a couple of guy friends.

Two of us were wearing hats. Mine was stolen first.
I felt I had won when there was grass down both of their shirts and I was in possession of both hats.

They felt they had won when they outran me and made it to their cars without my being able to further disgrace them.


This reminds me of that, save for being infinitely less playful.

There comes a point when one just has to accept the total insanity of the opposing parties and pretend that the argument in which one is engaged is genuine discourse. Direct bashing just isn't as interesting, not when it goes on for pages.

Although. . . it would be cool to have a whole section of the forum for flaming people; there could be a "yo mamma" sticky, and I could start huge thread on what I think of Alicorn. It has the potential to be both hilarious and embarrassing all around; good fun, I think.

Also, if anyone cares to fill me in on what is meant by "Ayn complex" (Rand?), and how it here specifically applies, please feel free.
