Man I love that. On the one hand you have all these people telling you to grow a spine if you want to get laid. On the other hand you have all these other people telling you that doing anything that growing a spine might enable you to do is just creepy, even though people do it all the time and a large enough subset of women obviously don't think it's creepy at all. Oh and of course they bitch at you without offering any sort of alternative that isn't just insipid nonsense that we all know doesn't work.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
You know how I got laid last? Igot so drunk at a party that I did not give a single fuck about anything.
How exactly this ended up with me getting laid instead of just saying a lot of stupid shit, I don't know.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
Thing is? I'm not going to just drop this sort of thing on any random girl and hope for results. I only dropped it at all because I've known this particular girl for a few months now, we're on pretty friendly terms and it managed to flow into the conversation.RyanThunder wrote:Man I love that.

Her: I'll pick up blah blah blah while I'm out tonight, I'm meeting someone for a date.
Me: It's not the douchebag text spammer is it?
Her: Nah, it's an ex that I've broke up with a couple times.
Me: But you still keep going back?
Her: The sex was good.
Me: Oh, well if you ever just want a roll in the sheets sometime . . .

If "growing a spine" does nothing but enable you to finally attempt all the creepy behavior you've been holding off on then the problem may not be the people telling you to get a spine.

Also zod you might want to work on you descriptions better 'cause when I think "blatantly propositioned a friend" I figure you mean something a bit more than a flirty joke

Amusingly, I'm less creepy when I wear a leather jacket. Turns out that its only creepy if you don't look wealthy or well put together.
Well I'll try to be less smug, but the omniscience will be a bit of a chorePS ryan if you want people to give you meaningful advice on how to improve your life maybe start by not being a smug all-knowing jackass

So anyway, latest episode of TCW was fucking awesome - there's just no other way to put it. Definately up in my top ten percent of overall episodes.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
For sure. Dont misunderstand me btw, I don't think that a girl is obligated to sleep with me if I do xyz or anything like that. I dislike the attitude people like IB were giving Zod. Like "well she didn't sleep with you so she probably thinks you're creepy and anything you think is positive that isn't a 'yes please fuck me right here' is probably her just trying to get the hell away from you." then they just completely gloss over the fact that Zod had the courage to actually ask instead of... Whatever passive-aggressive, obtuse indirection they think he should do.Aaron wrote:Lol, turns out different people can get away with using different approaches.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
It's a matter of knowing your audience. If I know a girl well enough to realize she'd probably take that sort of thing with a good sense of humor then I'll drop it in, but if it's someone I just know on a casual basis from work or whatever then probably not. Besides, getting sex wasn't the point. The point was to communicate interest without being needy or desperate about it.RyanThunder wrote:For sure.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
Exactly. Nothing wrong with that.
Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
I think the part that bugs me is the casual discussion of it. I've never been comfortable with that. Especially since in most situations with "the boys" everyone is exaggerating anyway.

It helps that a lot of women I know tend to have a more sex-positive mindset.Phantasee wrote:I think the part that bugs me is the casual discussion of it. I've never been comfortable with that. Especially since in most situations with "the boys" everyone is exaggerating anyway.
Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
i'm okay with talking about it with the person i'm having an intimate relationship with
but i'm not okay with talking about it with other dudes
because it always sounds like bragging and feels disrespectful of the other person

It is bragging, but ask yourself why people feel the need to brag.

Re: The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting
So i've just finished a first draft of an english essay i'm bringing in for peer editing in a few hours.
Due to a bit of writer's block and not getting to spend as much time on it as I wanted to this weekend the essay is....... not good. I hope I can improve it considerably before the final draft is due next week.
