I highly doubt people who wouldn't talk on a bus, would talk in a bar or at a party either. |

Yes, because being a sociopath in one place totally means you won't be in another.

Everything is a social setting. If you communicate at any part of your day, it's a social setting.
If you don't know that, you lead a sad life.

ITT: male bitterness in the form of either objectification or saying attachment is bad Pick and choose your social situations, guys. Not saying don't talk to women.But ease in there and pick common social situations like school or places where girls want to be talked to like bars or clubs or whatever. And don't be faux nice in that desperate sort of way. That's just as bad as the mongoloid sleazy approach. Women can smell limp-wristed desperation a mile away. I also think it's funny a lot of posters on here are for Obama and generally seem like Democratic supporters. But when feminism is brought up, everyone inmediately shuns it, when it's a position usually associated with the left. Who said anything about feminism? This thread was clearly just you trying to play white knight. Did your female overlord give you a treat? |

I like talking to women at hospitals. Usually serves me well.  |

The guy who wrote it was sitting in Starbucks and typing up his novel, so he's a huge asshole to begin with.

I think people just need to calm down. People act like their lives are fucking empty without someone to date, fuck, and post pictures of on facebook. We live in an overly attached society if you ask me.

Only super fucking poor people who don't live near anything ride the bus here and it's a horribly inconvenient process. We barely have any public transportation at all in this whole city. So, I find your conversation about bus etiquette to be pretty funny since that isn't even a -thing- here.
If you want to meet random women here, your options are either college campus social events or parties. Our bar/club scene is pitiful and not actually geared toward singles. Most of my most recent relationships have been from girls I've met through gaming groups though.

Nice. Yeah most of the girls/women I've ever date were people I met in college/school & work. The gaming group fhing sounds interesting. One night stands... Well that's another story. I've never been a bar guy though.

 I concur there is a certain time and place for meeting girls. You have to feel out a social atmosphere first. Most of the girls I've dated I've met through groups of friends. I think a big factor in this dicussions is it's been all from the male perspective thus far. Granted, this is not only an online forum (where guys tend to be more visible), but also one devoted to professional wrestling, which draws in an even more male-centric demographic. Not bashing that or playing feminazi, just observing. |

That's like a dating site being geared towards married people. |

That's like a dating site being geared towards married people. There ARE dating sites geared toward married people who want to cheat you know. Anyway, I have no idea why it is that way, but the general design of the bars here tend to naturally separate their customers from one another by physical divisions of areas which is not good for mingling amongst individuals. The clubs (what very VERY few there are) are either drug fronts or "cowboy clubs" for the most part. It's not that there aren't ANY that gear themselves toward singles, just not many, and around here the KIND of people who frequent those establishments are pretty low life since they are all shitty places in a shitty part of town. |

That's also like having a strip club having married men night.

So using that logic, maybe you should go to the places married places usually go to meet single people?

I've never really had the trouble some of you guys are talking about with interacting with women. I act exactly the same as I always do, though I've almost always been the one approached and not the one doing the approaching. |

I'm usually the one approached too but I'm not non-sociable before they approach me.

What's a "cowboy club"?

Post by The Real Inferno on Oct 26, 2012 18:18:04 GMT -5
It was a double entendre. A lot of our clubs are "country" themed and thus skew toward older crowds. The other part of the joke is that we have several gay bars/clubs and it's a tongue in cheek way of referring to them. |

I was gonna post a longer message with a bunch of stuff, but by the end of it and reading the story three times, I just came to the conclusion that the girl is complaining about usual daily real world bullshit and taking it online like a bar patron talking to the tender.
It will pass, let it go is what I would say to her. I don't know what else to say really, everybody has to go through certain periods of problems and this is her shtick. Being annoyed with it then drawing further attention to the target and then going online and talking with a bunch of goofs is just going to inflamate the soreness.
She doesn't sound like an overly sensitive feminist nutjob to me. I don't know.
