i think scott adams is an insiprational figure. he lives in agony without the right woman for him to adore and take care of, but he still created the critically acclaimed and succesful comic strip dilbert.

many fortune 500 companies use his strips in their powerpoint presentations to break the ice a little and make everyone laugh. great guy would love to meet him.

Like if a dude holds the door open for me or w/e I'll say "thank you" 'cause I know he probably means well, but I don't expect or encourage that sort of thing. And if a date insisted on being super-chivalrous all the time it would weird me the gently caress out

"ISIS's war on the West is an expression of male-dominated culture vs female-dominated culture. For example, on dates you have to be nice to women. That loving sucks. Good thing I don't go on any dates. What was I talking about?"

Seriously this man is a published author and he thought that blog entry or whatever was a good coherent thought that made sense

Uh you mean romanticism created the idea of chivalry that saves damsels in distress. Real chivalry is rules from the church that say "don't kill each other today" for lords.

Pththya-lyi,

woah weird name there haha! you are right, some men do go a little overboard with being nice. but remember a lot of men as they grow up are expected treat women this way. you were talking about patriarchy in your other post, i tihnk that is a little extreme. try giving the next "super-chivalrous" man a shot next time, you might be surprised!

scott adams has been on this planet for a long time, so he knows some learned truths which make some people uncomfortable. i completley understand why, though i disagree with some of the criticism directed towards him.

Andreas Capellanus tells the young lover that if he should be attracted to a peasant girl he should waste no time on words, since such base creatures are incapable of understanding; he advises rape instead. This idea that only the noble classes are capable of love persisted, and perhaps even grew stronger, in the later Middle Ages.

yeah...i'm a dude and my stepmother insisted i treat women in this way. it really hosed me for trying to date because girls thought i was a massive sperglord for it (instead of teh real reasons)

edit: come to think of it, no one even evinced interest in me until i said 'ya know what i don't give a flying gently caress anymore' and stopped doing poo poo like that

It's just hilarious to blame violence in the Middle East on women, when in the cultures he's talking about women have a social standing somewhere behind what they had in 17th century Europe.

I just hold the door open for anyone that is also about to use it. :shrug:

That seems just like a normal thing to do. I'm not going to run ahead of you to open it though. If we get to the door at the same time I'll open it and let you through but again I'll do that for anyone including other men.

I'll offer my coat if someone is obviously cold and I'm not but yeah I do that for people I'm not trying to sex, either, just because again it seems like the polite thing to do.

You're loving high if you think I'm getting out of my car and running around the side to open your door for you though lmao and ideally we'd split the check or if I cover it this time I'd think it reasonable for you to get it next time.


e: I offer the bowl when I pack a fresh one too because ayy

There's a scene in Aziz Ansari's new Netflix show where someone points out the girl he's on a Tinder date with is obviously just using him to get a free dinner and he still pays for her to buy three entrees and take two of them home

Like, the joke isn't that he still pays for it, the joke is that that's what she's doing. Him paying for it anyway is just a thing that happens.
