You assume it was bragging but I was simply making a point about self-improvement.
oh yes clearly that's the logical assumption to have made. so many people go around talking about how fantastic they are in bed in order to make points about self-improvement.
The idea that *everyone else* is living in some kind of relationship Aqe of Aquarius is hilarious and the concept that 'pick-up artists' are somehow dragging the world down is massively overprivileging how people actually live and think in the world today. PUAs didn't invent nightclubs or celebrity culture - they just live in that world, some with a very low degree of alienation which to a certain extent even disturbs me. But I don't jump from a slightly icky feeling in the stomach to making all sorts of ridiculous assertions.
no one but you has expressed that idea. it is a strawman. nor do I blame anyone for the waters in which they swim. on the other hand it's absurd to say "look, this is grotesque - but I didn't create it - I just take advantage of it".
also, there's nothing new about self-proclaimed "pick-up artists"; it's merely the same old same old, a bunch of skeezy dudes trying to figure out more efficient ways to scam on chicks, dressed up with silly acronyms & terminology.
No. And fuck you. There's something much more complex going on, but you're cleary incapable of acting sensibly so what's the point?
ouch. a bit touchy aren't we? right, something more complex than dudes trying to get laid. & what might that be? don't pull a copout like "what's the point". surely even if I'm too daft and/or insensible to suss it out there are other people who'd love to hear you explain exactly what that much more complex something is?
Or maybe if you keep using terms like 'creepy' and 'sad', you might feel better about yourself. Or not, as is actually more likely.
ah clever one man, casting aspersions on my self-esteem & all. perhaps tho it would be simpler if you could just explain why terms like "creepy" & "sad", especially the latter, are inaccurate?
