njsykora posted:Ball-jointed dolls/dollfies loving terrify me, every time I go to a con there are those weird girls walking around with them and it's something I can't mentally comprehend. Most anime figures it's easy to collect without going financially overboard, in the right places they're no more expensive than a videogame or a couple of blu-rays every payday. It's when you start spending $200-300 on anime girls in swimsuits that things really start going downhill. I've posted this before on the forums in a different thread but here seem relevant too. For some reason I have a BJD group on my Facebook feed, I think I wanted one as a teenager but quickly dismissed the idea because the money is absurd.I don't own one and have no interest in participating in the community, however I keep the updates because they are so weird to read. They talk about their dolls like they are adopted children, they take them for days out and take a shitzillion pictures of them as professional doll photo-shoots seems to be a big part of the fandom. It reminds me a little of those older women who obsess over dolls that look like newborn infants. To them they are not plastic objects, they are real living people with souls or something, brrr. The creepiest dolls of all are the adult male ones. Dr Scoofles has a new favorite as of 08:43 on Jun 5, 2013 |

Fun/creepy fact I learned as a teen when I thought ball jointed dolls were cool (I mean, that craftsmanship!): most have anatomically correct genitals. They're also painted to match the dolls' specific skintones.

I wish I could remember who they were, but there were a couple goons who either did or used to do some of the customizing on those sorts of dolls like special wigs and facepainting. They had some pretty interesting stories to share about being in that business.

There's a small community that does... "adult" modifications. And by that I mean boners. Sculpted doll boners. There is one major company that is famous for having a female doll with exchangeable face plates. One of those face plates is an "O" face, as seen in the top right here: Another company is famous for having male dolls with exchangeable penises, so you can switch between a floppy penis and a boner with ease!

kith_groupie posted:What I don't get is why they don't wise up quickly though, and go "Hey this doesn't work" and stop being such huge creep monsters, but I suppose I am expecting too much out from a clutch of shut-ins raised by the internet. PUA tactics tend to rely on law of averages. If you approach enough people with a bald-faced request for sex, eventually you're going to find someone who's got standards low enough or emotionally compromised enough to want to sleep with you. They attribute their success to having improved their 'game'. It's funny that they call it game because they also treat it like a video game, and like a video game, you have to level up, so all their losses are because they're grinding their CHA stat so that they can get it high enough to unlock the romance options. Don't just take my word for it! Let's see what Roosh V, author of Bang and other books just as awkwardly named, has to say! What does he say about trying to gently caress girls you meet in the day? Roosh V posted:Assuming you have weak game and average conversational skills, you'll get a number from 5% of your day approaches. The average I see from men who come to me for training is 7.5%. My best students get almost a 30% close rate percentage [ed: 'close' is either getting a kiss or getting a girl's number] and I personally don't achieve any higher than occasional streaks of 50%. These estimations include low-probability approaches on the street, so they can be doubled if you develop a niche day venue (if I only approach in coffee shops or bookstores, for example, consistent 50% rates aren't uncommon). With months of practice on your part, you should be able to achieve 20%. Unfortunately, some men hit a ceiling before others due to limitations outside of their control, and can't seem to go higher no matter how hard they work, but that ceiling will take years to hit and will always be higher than if you didn't practice game at all. If a girl doesn't want to gently caress you, she is either getting hosed, on her period, a lesbian, or has STDs. There are no other options. Roosh V posted:Differences Between Day and Night Game If you've ever wondered if PUA techniques are influenced by bad movies, yes, yes they are, they are trying to be the protagonists of chick flicks, and they are aware of this. Roosh V posted:The Opener This sort of stuff is what makes me feel like PUAs cargo cult social interaction. They're like outsiders who don't understand how it works, but they follow how other people interact with one another and try to mimic that. He spends a large portion of this book literally just talking about how you can approach someone to have a casual conversation about, like, a book they're looking at in a book shop. A large portion of this book is literally 'how to talk to people about topics'. Now you can say that it's good that they're teaching awkward nerds how to interact, but I don't know if I agree. They're teaching them the motions of interaction, but without the emotional component behind those motions. It's learning to be a better person but only for the sole purpose of finding women who are willing to have sex with you. It is the uncanny valley of socialization. But that's dumb, let's hear about dating girls as a video game! Roosh V posted:Galnuc 3.5.5 ====Raid Boss: Daytime Girl==== [RDBDG01] After you've started with your EO as described in the Tactics section, you'll want to wait at least five turns to start your Galnuc attack. If you can get a good series of combos in, don't worry about it, because the combo damage with a good multiplier is about equal to the damage Galnuc can do. Galnuc takes 2-5 turns to execute, and if you can't get a combo going, you want to start about a turn or two after she makes her first AoE attack. And look at these diagrams! Ladies, try not to get too titillated by the secrets of male sexuality and ~seduction~. Apparently a plan of the perfect coffee house for 'day game'. More evidence for the idea that PUA is cargo cult/soulless imitation of human interaction Edit/Epilogue: Want to know more about Roosh V? Let's ask the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate site report.

Only 40% of the time! The other 60% of girls either have cocks, blood, lesbians, or diseases in their pussies so they don't want to gently caress right now, which means they don't want to talk to you because if they talk to you then they are obligated to gently caress you.

My head is going to explode from the abysmal advice from K-Mart brand pick up artists. Who the hell are these people? The instant you see the guy in the supermarket, if you have any pride as a man seeking knowledge, you should have clicked the red X. The people who need advice on how to attract women are usually lower status males who need a lot of work (certainly the ones who would be taking the supermarket guy seriously). It's like making a video on an introduction on how to play football and beginning by talking about hook and curl routes - you need to first get in better shape and improve your overall abilities. The same applies for attracting the opposite sex - let's first begin by trying to make ourselves better people overall, then slowly learn more social skills. Not walk up to a woman in public and start dropping sexual innuendos (creepy is the kiss of death...DO NOT BE CREEPY should be the beginning of all dating advice...and all these guys screamed creepy). I just don't know why these clowns decided to make videos - are there obese people making un-ironic fitness videos on YouTube?

They don't want relationships. They want sex. Women are just moist holes you have to buy dinner for, but a girlfriend is like having a fleshlight you don't have to warm up so you can get a quickie in between raids. Aside from everything else, PUAs are lazy shitheels, is what I'm saying.

This is the problem with 99% of MRA/PUA people: the idea that you have to wait to ask the woman out, that your self-esteem is so fragile that you don't dare make that first step on your own and risk a fatal blow to your psyche that will spiral you down into a deep chasm of depression. "I don't need to ask women out, them bitches flock to me." "Wait, you don't want to talk to me? Haha, you must be gay."

Castle Bidimar posted:They want to take power over the thing that terrifies them in order to assuage that fear? Not exactly a contradiction. It's possible, but I doubt that's really it. More likely it's just they've got an obsession with "getting sex" with no grasp of the details about that entails. Sex is just this vague concept - something really good that they think they've just got to have in order to be happy. I've also noticed a lot of these guys have really bizarre hang-ups and standards about how women are supposed to look, which might be a factor in his vagina phobia.

I've always said that if I had the ability to write horrible Kindle erotica, or make dragon dildos and fursuits for money, I probably would. Everyone has kinks, someone has to supply them with what they need, and we've shown in this thread that you can make good money at it. Some of that fursuit stuff takes real talent to make, and I can appreciate that. But the one thing I would never loving do would be to write PUA literature, regardless of the potential income. All that other poo poo I talked about stops at the consumer (or is used with like-minded people, i.e. furries). PUA by it's very nature is designed to be forced upon unsuspecting women by men who have no concept of social interaction. Sure you can make a buck at it, but at the expense of thousands of these women. Not worth it.

I thought those were, like, levels of conversion you progress through once she's shown some interest in you? I assume you ask if she's half-German because it's something vaguely quirky she probably doesn't hear much, and she's all "haha that's so weird, why would you think that" and you say "oh you look vaguely Germanic/I can't place your accent, where are you from/I was in Germany recently and a lot of them had their hair like that/whatever". It's like showing a vague interest in them and having a conversation, but what you really want to do is plan it all out in the weirdest, awkwardest way possible.
