And Then, Suu, There's The Women

[Cain]

There's no real difference.

If Luke has a "really real" persona beneath his AKK mask, it's never been sighted online.  Therefore, for all intensive porpoises, it doesn't exist.

[Kai]

I think it's because you women really just can't manufacture attraction on demand.

This is the core of that issue right there.

Women are like slow moving dials with their attraction, men are like light switches.  That's a simplified generalization and if you pick it apart it doesn't make it less true.

Criteria for attraction is generally the same as well, but to different degrees.

For example, women tend to place less focus on physical aspects than men do.  Not always the case, but that's the general current of the river.

When people try to quantify men and women as discrete and mutually exclusive categories, I'm pretty much guaranteed that anything they say regarding this argument will be bullshit.

Yes, this. A million times over.

Once upon a time a man found a bottle and when he opened it out popped a djinn.  The man's eyes went wide and he asked, "Do i get my 3 wishes?"  "Uh, no." Said the djinn.  "I'm just a bottle djinn, not a lamp djinn, so you only get one wish!"  The man thought for a moment and asked "Can I get a bridge built from California to Hawaii? I like to visit my brother, but hate to fly." The djinn was shocked.  "That's a lot of work asshole!  It would take me years!  Pick something else.. anything.  The man said, "Well Ok.  I'd like to truly understand women!"  The djinn slumped and asked "Will that be a one lane bridge or a two lane bridge?"

To me it seems like any other building project.  All the work in the world can't fix a relationship if the raw material isn't there or is bad.

He an Yatto are now over on Friendbuster, talking about what bad people we are, and trying to raise a troll army.   

That group is full of creepy harassers. Yatto added me: I left it.

[Triple Zero]

It's like an outlandish version of Lies, here to tell us how men and women really behave!

No more need for peer-reviewed journals or even introspection!  Doctor LOVE is here to tell us that it's all about blowjobs and keeping the house clean!

At least Lies delivery was not quite this condescending or blatantly sexist.

It's less painful, though. With Lies I keep hoping he gets a clue at some point and stops embarrassing himself. With AKK I just giggle and enjoy the hatefest

[AFK]

IS the rest of this thread worth reading now that AKK has fucked it up?

The rest of this BOARD is not worth reading, as AKK has fucked it up with his very presence.

I dunno.  This is just my observation, but I think everyone saw AKK arrive back on the scene and then wanted to be pissed off by him.  I mean, posters with zero experience and only the stuff they've heard from us old timers were starting at angry with him, before he hardly said much.  Now, yeah, he obviously was doing some trolling in this thread, but, if he has disrupted this board in any way, in my opinion, people wanted it to be disrupted.  I've been reading most of the threads he's posted in and I think he's been much more even keel than he was before. 

I mean, I really don't see how he's that much different than someone like Lies, some guy with an alpha-male personality that wants attention. 

But, just curious, what did he do to get banned?

Back to the OP, this is the theme song of The Friend:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gglbF-I28rQ

i'm the one
i've been here for you all along
i'm the one
the shoulder you've been cryin on

nice guys finish last
no one knows as good as me
we're just good friends
and you come to me for sympathy

you tell me that i'm not your type
still you call me late at night
everytime he picks a fight
after all he's said and all he's done

i'm the one
i've been here for you all along
i'm the one
the shoulder you've been cryin on

he's a total dick
that's the truth and you know i'm right
from everything you say
theres no way he'll ever do you right

you love a man who treats you wrong
you think you'll change him
but you're wrong
he'll use you he'll say so long
after all he's said and all he's done

i'm the one
i've been here for you all along
i'm the one
the shoulder you've been cryin on

i'm the one who wants you more than anything
you don't feel the same way you made it clear to me
but i'll stand my ground and maybe
you'll hear what i've been sayin
after all i've said and all i've done

i'm the one
i've been here for you all along
i'm the one
the shoulder you've been cryin on
i'm the one

I dealt with the friend thing a couple of times, until I got to the point where if I was friends with a girl, and no chemistry was evident within a month, I permanently filed them in the friend catagory, and moved on.  Less angst that way.

Yatto was mad that I was there.  He called it "his hood".  After dumping on him a bit, I left and blocked him.

Not me...  I've had male friends who I carried a crush for, for years, sometimes.  Once in awhile, they caught on, and we either gave it a shot (some worked out great, one or two fell flat and we went back to being friends), or we decided to let things lie.  I've only had one explode, and that one was my own damn fault for being willing to give things a shot on 100% his terms.

If I could measure the sexual tension between Travisses and myself, we'd both be millionaires. Fortunately, we worked through it. Unfortunately, it partly cost me my marriage and a lot of damage control in our social circles. We're STILL dealing with residual shit.

I found a letter from Herbert the other day regarding it that basically flipped back on my switch of pure hate for him for a few seconds. It was absolutely toxic, and I wanted to walk over to the Monastery and shoot him for existing. Then I calmed down and remembered it was long over.

As for Dartmouth Fett, I can't figure out if he still wants to maintain communication so that we're still friends, so he can keep me on the hook, or to save his reputation. I don't understand it and it's frustrating me. Personally, I don't think he understands it either, and that I broke his brain last week when he got his b-day doodle. Either way, if he shows up this weekend, and we do end up going to Hartford for the day, I know I'll have at least an hour to get into his head...maybe two, if I don't get stranded in CT from pissing him off. (I may need some people on call.) If he wants to play nice, fine, I'm down with playing nice, especially since we have a lot of mutual friends, but I want answers, and I will get the answers I need through whatever means necessary. I mean, the guy WANTS to drive the hour and a half to see me. If he was through with me, he wouldn't waste the gas. Hence, my confuzzlement.

Why do you want anything at all to do with this guy?  Please do not convince yourself he will not do the same thing again.  It doesn't matter if he is through with you, you need to be done with him.  DONE.  No more.  Put him on the dead list.  Move on, the pastures are greener where the fuckers aren't cheating.

Suu:  Step back and read this from a fresh perspective.
