It reached its inevitable internet conclusion and passed the event horizon about 3 pages ago when people started arguing about TERFs and "political lesbians" and getting even more fringe bordering on all-sex-is-rape kinda rhetoric. It was funny for a while. Hell, it's still kinda funny. But that's just because we've got a bunch of serious people in here who post whatever diarrhea spills out of their heads.

i'm fine with Pick constantly projecting though. It actually serves to disprove her when the list of things that "All Men Are" reaches 100+ different specific issues she personally has

I think that this criticism is a little simple.

They approach a number of social interactions with either sex using systems and models. Nobody makes similar criticisms of How to Make Friends and Influence People or various sales strategy material that try to game social interactions.

the takeaway from that book is that you have to think about what the other person wants and truly give a poo poo, there is no game

actually salespeople can gently caress themselves in the butthole with their social engineering poo poo too lol. i loving hate when people try to do the pushy hard sell on me and I hate that I know it works on a lot of people

it's just that this isn't that thread so we're not criticizing that stuff right now.

use photos of you in fun situations with other people (but still make it clear which one you are). a selfie in poor lighting of you in front of the bathroom mirror is not gonna cut it

lemme know when you figure out how to sell your personality or also how to message someone with something interesting when their profile isn't much to go on cuz idk that part really

I'm at work so I can't go find it and save the thread, but there's an older CollegeHumor video featuring some hot girl at a bar being really dismissive of nice guys, it's called "what dating is really like for girls" or something idiotic like that. Anyway it's niceguys.wmv and I've never seen YouTube commenters brought to their knees that much, so if someone else can find it that would be great.

lol weren't you one of the idiots saying I needed to have "higher standards" with the men i date because i'm too forgiving

it's hilarious that no matter what the woman does she's wrong. she needs to find the perfect man instantly, but not expect men to be perfectt

I just went through my posts in the thread so no? If anything I'd say you have impossible standards

Don't let that stop you from doing exactly what I was making fun of though. (projecting that women are somehow being attacked in some way when your hyper defensiveness completely created the problem in the first place)

Generally I think the world is too hard on "nice guys", like you're right, you don't deserve sex because you're "nice", but the correct response isn't "so gently caress off and die" it's, "you probably need therapy and to learn to respect yourself as you are."

the common advice is probably going to be NO since boats are seen as black holes for money.

it really depends on your circumstances though. Have you had a boat? Do you know how to sail? Is there any reason other than owning it you would want this?

typically you'll probably be told to save the money or buy something more useful that you like equally as much

It sort of depends on your familiarity with boats. They are money pits, but they can be money pits within acceptable bounds as long as you have a thorough understanding of your finances and the risks you're taking, as well as a level-headed assessment of your skills re: repair and general boat troubleshooting.
