Green: "I'd rather date someone beautiful inside and out than someone who is hot but not as perfect. This makes me unique somehow"
Red: "I'd rather date ugly women so I can make hot women think I'm nice"

Ladies, it appears we have finally engineered two prototypes of The Perfect Gentlemen.

Red in the first comment is saying they want a woman who's hot AND nice (and religious) rather than just one who's hot.

I'm not sure what's up with green though. It looks like they're backing out of their own advice.

I think green just misread it as a sort of "I'd rather someone nice and into jesus, than someone who's hot" first then red commented again for clarification. :shrug:

Ahhh, yeah, some commas would have helped.

"I'd rather date a woman who is beautiful on the inside and outside, that is chasing after jesus and living for god, than a woman who is smoking hot.'

I'm not even sure if that is correct but it certainly makes more sense.


And yeah, Green really double backs there!!

Some poo poo on IFLS was floating round FB the other day and I cannot be persuaded it's not a parody. Having known some physicists irl they're not a breed known for their personal skills and this is the worst idea ever.

quote:

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy is created in the universe and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, ever vibration, every BTU of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid the energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.

And at one point, you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off you like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.

And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue in the heat of our own lives.

And you'll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy is still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone. You're just less orderly. Amen.

Yea i've read that some studies have found that height is one of the major things women look for in men. Its mostly likely a social construct because we've always had men who are tall are more manly than ones who are not.

There's a reason apple crates are a major industry in hollywood.

It's funny, because I know a guy who really got into MRA because he honestly through it was about breaking down macho bullshit in society, how wrong he was.

IFLS started out decent, as someone who just wanted to share cool science stories. Then it turned into "click my blog!" because she realized she could make tons of cash, got click-baity as a result, and now just pander to smug dickwads who think they're superior over everyone else because they worship DeGrasse Tyson and Sagan like good Redditors do. On top of that, it gets interspersed with crap health stories like all pages eventially do to generate more clicks and shares. I think I unfollowed a good two years now and ended up blocking it because so many friends were sharing the worst articles.

My mom shared this on my page today. I didn't open the link but I can recognize some of the text from the preview. Is this her way of saying she wants to be remembered? Put that poo poo in a will, mom, your daughter is a lawyer and she's not going to listen to facebook posts as final wishes.


Ahhhh I should probably talk to her about writing a living will. She's only 60 but she's kind of flaky so I doubt she has one. Never easy to talk about it but it's better than forwarding some poo poo on facebook and hoping that gets honored as your final wishes.

Good old american litigation. SMH - I was supportive of him before - but this just sounds greedy.

Its not about his right to sue. In the end taxpayers pay. The whole nation was behing him - obama, zuckerberg etc. The suit claims he had to flee the country. Just seems over the top

Sorry still don't agree. What happened to him was wrong. Suing a city won't teach a lesson to anyone, nor will it stop it by personally enriching him / his family. I agree people sue for much smaller things - two wrongs don't make a right.

Its not just moral support. I'm not advocating the idea that 14 years old should be treated like crap. I don't see this is such a black and white issue. His response up to this point was really impressive - no blaming - no using it for his fame. Now it feels like a cash grab



Ya this is kinda taking things a little far. This guy's 15 minutes are long over.

The whole thing coulda been a bait. Mind u he invented nothing, but took apart something, and put it into a briefcase to make it suspicious, and kept showing it around. The family has since moved to Qatar.

I think the way he describes BPD is stigmatizing and unhelpful, but I feel like the general goon opinion is probably more in line with a belief that he is wrong in describing his perceived abuse or that it seems like he is clearly underplaying his role in the situation. It's also possible he's an idiot for giving a great amount of detail about his own life and about the life of another person because he disagrees vaguely with the Huffington Post. I find that idiotic. One day somebody is going to write a publish a memoir and it will start "Three years ago, there was a meme on the front page of Imgur about domestic violence..."

I thought the whole "manlet" and "discrimination against short guys" thing was just a thing 4chan made up to make themselves feel better about mocking fat girls. Like, the tweets and stuff I've seen talking about how disgusting short guys are have pretty clearly been trolls, but they proceed to use it as evidence that they're actually the ones being looked down on.

Then again, maybe I'm just blissfully unaware of the horrible discrimination my fellow short guys face in America.

The people who poo poo on you for being short are the people who will poo poo on you for any other reason if you were taller. "I'm not into short guys" is usually a nicer way of saying you're ugly or insufferable.

Being short is like balding: 90% of the time the people who complain about it are getting poo poo on because of the massive chip on their shoulder rather than the condition itself.
