I honestly think some people would be truly content sitting in their rooms all day finding people who are just as sad as they are on the internet, and in turn getting them all to agree with each other so they have a sense of "it's the world, not me!

Also, he asked the guy if he'd hook up with her within her earshot. Hard to imagine he'd say "no" even if it were true.

NeoElfboy 12/09/11 9:28:00 AM #206:	I don't think it's a true friendship even if one person would bang the other. I think the problem here stems from the way you're definining "would bang the other". If one person is actively thinking about how he (or she) wants to have sex with the other, and this desire has an influence over how he approaches the friendship (e.g. if he woke up tomorrow with no sex drive, he would cut the friendship off), then yeah, I'd agree, that friendship deserves to be called into question. However, lacking this, I'd say it could be a perfectly valid friendship, even if, for instance, he would have sex with the other person if she asked directly. If that's where the disagreement about this discussion comes from, then I find it perfectly understandable. However, some people in this topic seem to think that guys can't hang around girls without wanting to have sex with them constantly, which is just lol. There is only one reason I socialize with hot girls, and the same goes for any other guy with the ability to pick up chicks. That's your decision, of course, but personally I have no issue socialising with girls, hot or not, for the same reasons I would socialise with guys. Because they're fun to chat to about video games, sports, politics, and/or teaching. And last I checked my "ability to pick up chicks" is just fine. A woman's hotness doesn't interfere with her being a person, and generally worth chatting with or not chatting with as her personality and interests dictate. -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:528510] in Can men an...

foolm0ron 12/09/11 9:38:00 AM #207:	From: NeoElfboy \| #206 A woman's hotness doesn't interfere with her being a person Not directly, but indirectly, very greatly so sometimes. Hotter chicks are usually annoying ***es due to being able to get anything they want with their looks, and strangely enough fat chicks are also the same annoying *es. It's a product of the fact that these girls define themselves according to their looks far more strongly than anything else. Of course there are many exceptions, but for a simple, shallow generalization, this holds pretty true. My favorite are the above-average chicks, because they look good, but throughout their life they haven't been the most attractive of their peers, so to win they also need a good personality. -- _foolmo_** 'Oh please, if foolmo made that analogy you'd think it was picture perfect' - Biolizard28 <cite>foolm0ron posted [p:528511] in Can men an...

NeoElfboy 12/09/11 9:57:00 AM #211:	I subscribe to Panthera's definition of a platonic relationship, not yours. About 100 posts ago I mentioned my high sex-drive bisexual friend, and by your definition, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have any "platonic" friends (besides family members, etc.). I think that's a pretty silly definition since this guy is highly social by any useful definition of the word. Not directly, but indirectly, very greatly so sometimes. Hotter chicks are usually annoying ***es due to being able to get anything they want with their looks, and strangely enough fat chicks are also the same annoying **es. It's a product of the fact that these girls define themselves according to their looks far more strongly than anything else. Of course there are many exceptions, but for a simple, shallow generalization, this holds pretty true. It's posisble this is true as a generalisation, of course, albeit one with plenty of counterexamples. However, it shouldn't prevent you from judging people on an individual basis. You're usually going to know pretty darn quickly if someone is unpleasant to hang around with or not. Reality is no where near what you just described.* In what way? Because that is pretty much my reality, and the reality of most people I know. It's quite possible we're just fortunate and a minority, but that doesn't change anything. You can't say "what you described is FALSE" to other people's personal experiences! You can say it's rare, but in this case, I don't believe it is. Also, I would imagine that a lot of a man's interactions with women are defined by one's own mindset. Approach them as a friend, and you'll have friends. Approach them as wanting to bang them, and you'll either have someone to bang (if you're actually self-confident and the two of you are a decent match) or rejections/polite distancing/etc. (if the woman isn't interested, or if you're a weasel like the guys Ulti looks down on). I'm guessing the ladder "theory" guy and Bio just never do the former. Which is their choice, but let's not pretend it's a choice no other guys make. -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:528515] in Can men an...

Panthera 12/09/11 5:07:00 PM #218:	From: wg64Z \| #208 Neo I'm sorry but that just sounded like such a cookie cutter/textbook/mom view on the perfect world. Reality is no where near what you just described. What is with the general approach to debates on the internet lately where people are so fond of saying "your personal experiences didn't actually happen"? Strong opinions don't override actual events. And if you WOULD bang them if they asked, then you were never in a platonic relationship. That depends on how you define platonic. If your idea of platonic means "you'd never under any circumstances have sex with them no matter what might change, and if you do it means you were never friends to begin with", then sure, but I question how useful a term it is if it rules out the existence of a friendship between people who don't have sex, never have sex, wouldn't have sex barring some truly bizarre events, and who are otherwise exactly like any other platonic friendship. I don't see how it's a distinction that really means anything. -- We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny <cite>Panthera posted [p:528522] in Can men an...
