I'm off to Vegas...no time to continue this debate now (as if you all care, hahaha).

@lilypadfad: What's my cause? The closest thing I have to a cause is empowering children and adolescents to be better adults. That's where my work takes me.

As for religion, not so much...I hold many Gnostic spiritual beliefs though (as well as some Buddhist and Hindu), not the least of which being we each are divine sparks seeking unity with a greater creative force -- mind you, not in a literal sense, but in a poetic sense.



okay, now I'm done.....dammit.

i do not personally know anyone who is a "pick up" artist, and so i have never been asked a question by one, so i have never said "no" to any "pick up" artist.

A noble cause if ever there was one. Although I would like to see a return to the days when there was no adolescence.

I mean children stopped being children and immediately became adults, instead of this weird adolescent phase that only came into existence a hundred or so years ago. It didn't exist because any attempt to wallow in this self-pitying hormonal world would have been met with a slap and a stern warning to "stop acting like a goddamn child you're a man/woman now!" I know I would have been better off.

Ah that's what you were trying to get me to say hehe. No I won't be advocating child marriage today, sorry.

Stay tuned though, you never know.

That (link) must have been the most disturbing post I have seen in the internet in the past few years and that says a lot...

Other than that... Also spied on some of the PUA forums, certainly great for cheap laughs... :lmao:

Add my name to the list of people who don't think rape is funny at all.

The poster "DonRomeo" is twisted and perverse.
I wish he would abandon his horribly sexist hate,
and learn to treat women with respect,
for the safety of everyone involved.

interesting article about some actual research.... no surprises here. it sort of reinforces what we already know about the PUA movement:

http://www.good.is/post/women-who-love- ... women-too/

Quote:
According to their research, pickup artist techniques are strongly linked to "men who have negative attitudes toward women and believe women are a threat to male dominance," guys who get off on "putting women in their place." As it turns out, women who respond positively to these attitudes tend to hate women, too. "Women who have negative attitudes about members of their own gender find men who treat them in a dominant way during courtship more desirable because it is consistent with their sexist ideology," Hall and Canterberry found. Apparently both "men and women who believe women can be isolated and teased into sex have a low regard for women in general."

And when these sexist beliefs are present in people who are also into "short-term mating"—my new favorite scientific euphemism for being down to do it—a beautiful fleeting relationship between a pickup artist and his target can blossom.

But as you might have guessed by the frothy mix of misogyny and self-loathing stirred up here, this fortuitous meeting of the minds is not without its risks. The researchers note that hostile sexism is linked to "sexual coercion by men" while benevolent sexism "is related to higher rape myth acceptance for both men and women." That means that the "matching of men who use such strategies and women who are receptive to them would be a potentially dangerous combination in terms of unwanted sexual advances and the possibility of date rape." It turns out that hanging around men and women who despise women isn't just a quick and easy path to getting laid—it's also a pretty effective way to rape someone.
