might also be you using the word logic and been sarcastic at the same time since you end up using logic wrong... + taking the post off topic :/ sorry back to its real topic

My use of the word logic was correct as I was reffering to logic in the sense of reasoning. The logic in this case was the statement "Girls like bad boys because they are a challenge." You had your subject, your description, and resolution of the thought which provides for logic.

My sarcasm is shown through the use of smiley faces and wit. It could be your place on the spectrum which prevented you from seeing the sarcasm. However, it could easily be another problem. I've noticed that I can catch sarcasm much better through text than I can through face to face communication because of the pseudo-linguistics NT's use all of the time. A simple solution to this problem is to ask "Are you being sarcastic?" Most people are willing to answer :)

EDIT: I didn't take things off topic with my sarcasm because I was reffering tot he rest of the information in the thread :) Now let us continue the discussion of why girls like bad boys ;)

EDIT 2: I am sorry you have dyslexia however it is to my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, that dyslexia doesn't lead to poor grammar. I have a few friends who are dyslexic and they've never had a hard time with grammar. I could be wrong though *shrugs*.

yet again you miss using a word and yes in dyslexic is also to do with writing and not just reading like As, Dyslexic has different levels and going off topic i mean our argument or the sarcastic remark explaining since it's about bad boys ..................

Logic (from ancient Greek λόγος (logos), originally meaning the word, or what is spoken, but coming to mean thought or reason) is most often said to be the study of arguments, although the exact definition of logic is a matter of controversy amongst philosophers (see below). However the subject is grounded, the task of the logician is the same: to advance an account of valid and fallacious inference to allow one to distinguish good from bad arguments.

A logical fallacy is an error in logical argument which is independent of the truth of the premises. It is a flaw in the structure of an argument as opposed to an error in its premises. When there is a fallacy in an argument it is said to be invalid. The presence of a logical fallacy in an argument does not necessarily imply anything about the argument's premises or its conclusion. ...

You're correct on the original definition of the word however I look up websters dictionary when it comes to words and it says that logic also means "A system of reasoning" and "A mode of reasoning". The Oxford dictionary gives similar definitions. Therefore, I am not incorrect in the use of the word. Not only is this arguement over, but it is petty and pointless.

Also, you might have Dyslexia, however Dyslexia only affects a persons reading (according to what is required for a diagnosis). You probably have another problem on the side known as Dysgraphia, which affects how a person writes (and would explain the problems with punctuation and grammar). Both are not good to have and I am sorry for having attacked your grammar because of it.

EDIT: It seems Dyslexia does have a written component to it but, it is a spelling problem according to the NICHD/IDA (international Dyslexic Association). The WHOs (World Health Orginization) definition does not provide for a written component. It still seems to me you might have both Dyslexia and Dysgraphia.

well i guess where ever you get your logic from is flawed go talk to a doctor about Dyslexia its not just to do with reading............... would not expect someone who has been diagnoused with As to be so shallow on the meaning of a word and how old is your dictionarys? and if there american no wonder

webster look under and you will see a wider explaination...

you getting this junk from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexic

The Oxford dictionary (which doesn't even have a reference to the original meaning of the word logic) is 150 years old. (The European English Dictionary)

Webster's Dictionary is even older at 200 years old and while it gives the original meaning for the word Logic, it gives the other acceptable definitions. (This is the American English Dictionary. Yes it is older than the European English Dictionary)

I do not appreciate being called shallow (and given the information I know about these two dictionaries, I doubt I am). I ask that you do not turn this in to an off-topic war over the word logic. I also ask that insults not be thrown. I am not trying to attack you.

EDIT: As for good ole Wikipedia. I rarely use it. If you want to keep arguing over this, lets do it in PM form so no one else has to deal with it. I will not be posting in this thread anymore.

calling you shallow on trying to tell me what Dyslexia is as i been to a specialist school and diagnoused by a doctor.....+ taking the post off topic :/ sorry back to its real topic and it turned into a war as soon as you tryed to lecture to me what dyslexia is and not finding out the proper information about it

Dysgraphia (or agraphia) is a difficulty writing coherently, if at all, regardless of ability to read. People with dysgraphia often can write, and may have a higher than average IQ, but lack co-ordination, and may find other fine motor tasks such as tying shoes difficult (It often does not affect all fine motor skills). They can also lack basic spelling skills (having difficulties with p,q,b,d), and often will write the wrong word when trying to formulate thoughts (on paper). In children, the disorder generally emerges when they are first introduced to writing. They make inappropriately sized and spaced letters, or write wrong or misspelled words despite thorough instruction. Children with the disorder may have other learning disabilities; however, they usually have no social or other academic problems. Cases of dysgraphia in adults generally occur after some neurological trauma or it might be diagnosed in a person with Autism (such as Asperger's), Tourette syndrome or ADHD. The DSM IV identifies dysgraphia as a "Disorder of Written Expression" as "writing skills (that) ...are substantially below those expected given the person's ...age, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate education". Albert Einstein may have suffered from dysgraphia as he was never able to learn how to tie his shoe laces. look things up proper you don't just shove things into 1 critia on 1 thing you have to tick many things..........

Edit 2::: coz i know you are using .wikipedia

*sigh* Ok....I lied...This is my last post on this thread. If you want to continue this argument further you can reach me through PM. Also, I love the use of Wikipedia for that little entry after having earlier accused (falsely I might add) me of doing the same.

I will say this one last time. I am not posting in this thread again. If you wish to continue the argument further you can reach me through PM.

My first girlfriend dumped me for a bad boy, because he had a nicer car. She never told me, so technically, she cheated on me.

How old were you and she? That sounds like something a 16-year-old girl would do.

She was 18, and I had just turned 19 (today is my 27th birthday). I caught her with the above-mentioned guy while I was going to see a movie with my family. She and I had been together nearly two years at the time.

I just read this article
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... ic&t=20753
(DataSage’s Alpha Male Guide to Meeting Women) and it seems to fit this subject... not really about bad boys, but it's about alpha males... Main question is: how do women feel about his suggestions / what he is suggesting guys do?

In my opinion -

Young women/girls/women who like 'bad boys' have intimacy issues they are not aware of.

A fully realised human being does not like being mistreated, in my opinion.

Maybe the 'bad boys' had the confidence to ask them out rather than sitting around bitching about how the bad boys get the girls?
