The last time I wore a hat was a baseball cap I wore for a week in middle school because I got my hair cut too short and it looked dumber than the hat did

Does it occur to any of these PUA people that these techniques, to the extent they work at all, probably work just as well on men? I mean obviously it doesn't because they're irredeemably terrible but it's not like humans in general are particularly robust against psychological tricks

Talking about subjects that you aren't comfortable with is nerve-wracking even if you aren't explicitly afraid of the rejection. If you don't get practice with it during middle/high school for whatever reason, you can easily end up in a situation where asking someone out is outside your comfort zone for years past the point where everyone else is settling down. It's not hard to imagine why some percentage of those people (mostly the ones who were already terrible for other reasons) might take the attitude adopted in this thread.

I think in many tribal-based cultures that still survive, marrying anybody from within your tribe is basically the same as incest--all marriage is supposed to be with someone outside the tribe. It's probably a lot easier to say you're interested in a girl when some or all of the following are true: You went, with other men your age, on a trip to another tribe specifically to scope out potential brides The person you need to tell is your father, or the girl's father, rather than the girl herself There's a social expectation/obligation to get married now This is assuming you have any say in the matter and it isn't just your father negotiating with another father over how much of a dowry he can get

Decebal posted:I guess, but people still fell in love and felt awkward & elated about each other. I wish we could track down when it changed from "hey, I like you " to complicated rituals and taboos It's probably always been complicated rituals--it's not like humans invented those. Look at the courtship patterns of birds for instance.

Mak0rz posted:Is "go out for asian food" code for "go to costco and pick up a pallet of ramen?" because in my experience that's all tomato-haters ever eat. Tomatoes are the exact opposite of delicious Asian food is good anyways so preferring it isn't exactly a burden

Stinky_Pete posted:Have you tried chicken tikka masala? Yes. I can tolerate cooked tomatoes in small quantities as a background flavor (e.g., lightly sauced pasta, pizza) but raw tomatoes or tomatoes as the primary flavor are just horrid

So far I've found that saying "Hi" in a social situation where talking to strangers is acceptable (i.e. not on the bus) is a pretty good way to talk to a girl

She isn't morally culpable for stringing him along as long as it's unintentional. Ideally she would realize what's going on and let him down gently, at which point he would ideally give up gracefully, but not realizing what's going on isn't a sin Of course ideally she wouldn't have to because the guy would either make his feelings clear, or, if she's not single, give up of his own accord

Pick posted:That's weird and sad. this thread is a pretty crazy look into the world of men. like how could you not just be able to give your friend a gift just because you appreciate him and you love him. how do men show they love each other? Well first off you never ever use the word love to describe a male/male friendship

Pick posted:I don't know, it just strikes me that dudes seem to have a lot of "friends" that are more like activity buddies. To me, a friend is someone who is so solidly on your team that no one is keeping score of whatever, your "stuff" is basically their stuff, their feelings are your feelings, everyone gives as they can and only takes their fair share. You have an extremely high threshold for what counts as friendship

People spend a lot of effort trying to rationalize their way through the contradiction that everybody deserves sex, but nobody deserves sex with any individual person. The real solution to the problem is just that life sucks and isn't fair but, just like with conspiracy theories, some people can't accept a world where bad things happen without a reason.

King Vidiot posted:I'm pretty sure the "alpha" of most animal species would be just be called a straight-up violent rapist in people terms. Just because the behavior is found in nature within animal groups doesn't mean it's desirable or the best thing for the species, the best thing for a species is cohabitation and mutual cooperation. I'm just glad humans aren't like sea lions
