truth bombs

this is for comments where you dont want to get all BIG HOOS on the thread

ha otm i never realized this before, but it just snaps a whole bunch of experiences into proper perspective!

but i did get all BIG HOOS on the thread.

what's the psych behind this? is it like the guy's putting the blame on the "annoying" chick because he can't deal with his being attracted to her?* or are annoying chicks just really hot?

*sorta like calling a woman a slut because she slept with you you slept with her?

ive done this before and i think its partially a defense mechanism when you think you wanna get with a girl but shes, you know, annoying

most times ive hated on some random chick to a girl i was dating what i really was thinking was man id hit that

i think it's like, before the fact, "annoying" is an epithet of self-protection from the knowledge that he wants to sleep with her? but maybe a guy should answer this question. or sunny, because she's smart.

xposts

yeah thats basically it, you're pushing that last sliver of distaste to mask whats really going on

there was an episode of "my so-called life" like this once, where angela's dad was going to open a restaurant with an "annoying" female friend and they got all hot and heavy during an argt

sometimes annoyingness is attractive when you realize what the one thing is that would shut her up

*trying desperately to remember the last girl I called "annoying".

SUNNY, HONEY, I SWEAR UP AND DOWN TO YOU THAT I DON'T WANT TO FUCK THE WATSON'S GIRL. HONEST TO GOD.

see: Calvin, Suzy

or are annoying chicks just really hot?

okay, now i'm thinking maybe there's something to this? Ethan?

xposts

i think it's a way to get away with looking at the girl and acknowledging her in front of your gf, but doing it in a manner that would suggest "man i would never go for her". like when you say, "man look at her hat, how lame" you're thinking "but damn, the rest of her!!~"

oh never mind it's just romcom shit. thanks, Tom!

xpost curiouser and curiouser!

okay, boys of the world, i prefer ignorance!

I prefer mean to annoying

I met my current crush and she just starting cutting me apart and challenging all the bullshit I was spouting. It was awesome.

i think it goes something like "she is annoying" = "i couldn't date her" = "but would totally sleep with her".

I prefer mean

a lot of guys from my generation still have riot grrrl self-flagellation/masochist fantasy baggage. it's cute (and sad) when they quote kathleen hanna lyrics.

The classic Moonlighting scenario: VI Warchawski is intolerable for what are actually fickle reasons and really it's just us Corbin Dallas Multipasses being confused by pheromones and slamming doors.

or are annoying chicks just really hot?

this is pretty much true (well, hot chicks are annoying anyway), there is this thing where hot chicks think they are endlessly fascinating bcz nobody ever tells them to stfu~

also a steadfast rule abt ppl is that the more worked up abt something they are, the more they are prob overcompensating for something. the more a dude talks shit about a broad, the more he wants to bang her until her freckles fall off. she's probably still hell of annoying tho~

also, here is a free tip for dudes - when in the presence of ur gf, always go out of ur way to praise the looks of girls who resemble her. and pretend to be repulsed by girls who are a different type from her. REVERZE SYCOHOLYGY!!!!

jhoshea started a thread that tended toward that point on ILE.

the Neil Strauss school of date rape has a special term for the act of making negative comments to hot chicks. thankfully I don't remember what it was (my anthropological curiousity with that particular internet subculture was happily short-lived)

(World of Warcraft racketeering is way more forward-looking)

i'm pretty sure the term is "a neg"

posting jessica alba was the most otm thing in that thread - any girl who doesnt like jessica alba is a shrieking jealous harpy, ditto beyonce

[20:31] andrew: AHAHAHAAH YAAAA
[20:31] andrew: ginny does that
[20:32] andrew: i am like get real lil dumpkoff
[13:12] andrew: the aptitude of jessica alba at her chosen career has very little to do with my desire to lay atop her, panting and sweating
[13:13] me: beads of sweat plopping onto her forehead, look of horror frozen on her face
[13:14] andrew: lol i see we have had similar sexual histories~
[20:32] andrew: hatred stems from jealous thoughts
[20:33] me: girls just want an angel such as alba to be some degraded ass dog like tara reid or somethin
[20:33] andrew: jessica alba isn't even the hottest chick to me so it's even more lol that chixx hate her so bad

lmao yeah

who does that shit work on?

http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/

where are the hot chicks?

your choices are them or suicidegirls.com i think

God bless the goddamn Onion

i find that game shit totes repulsive but on a couple different occasions guys who were kinda of dorky and laking in self-confidence told me it really helped them out just to realize that they could have some sort of game at all and i was kinda awww ok fine

i dunno, there's the other side which is exemplified by my otherwise cool friend. it was at a point where he had to "run game" on any semi-attractive girl around. it usually involved "showing them something" by "touching their hands".

lol is that game lingo gross

haha my friend actually played that "says one thing, means another" shit w/r/t "the game" because he commented on how this one guy we both knew was always trying to pick up girls and how lame it was, then suddenly he's trying to seduce girls by showing them how he uses his hands in martial arts and how he's learned some massage techniques and "here let me show you this one thing" (takes girl's hand)

its basically just dudes getting all world of warcraft about dating, right?

omar that just sounds like the game inspired him to talk about some boring interest he has

naw it's the dude equivalent of some oprah self-help fad xpost

"here let me show you this one thing" (takes girl's hand, puts in pants)

i dont believe that anyone does this irl

Bleh. She's got a knotty face, shrieky voice, boob liver spots, and I heard she fucked Reggie Miller, if not her step-dad as well.

I have seen people do this irl

i dont want to believe that people do this irl

although I will say that until I did actually hang out with a dude who was all over the bar doing it I was with you, chaki, it just seems too stupid and ridiculous.

fwiw the dude in question 1. did not pay for the book, points for that at least 2. had 0% success on actually getting any of the girls to call him back

yeah i think thats the point, deej - i imagine easily the most important thing 'the game' does is give guys the confidence that they can be attractive to girls, & that failing at picking them up is natural & ok, & (and i didnt get this till that post by omar) that pulling is a 'sim' somewhat disconnected from reality.

failing at picking them up is natural

dudes who can't grasp the concept of rejection by women really shouldn't be breeding. this game shit goes against natural selection.

I wish fear of rejection was my problem. I know how to get over that. Being totally disinterested in putting forth the effort/constantly justifying solitude in your own head all the time = new, weird

ADAPT AND OVERCOME

the no-excuses truth to understanding hoos

hoos just not that into you

just to add MY TWO CENTS to the original topic, usually i call cuet girls "annoying" because if i told my girlfriend that i thought another chick was doable id get a slap in the face and a box of my stuff at the end of my driveway

thats like regardless of whether or not the chick is ACTUALLY annoying

my gf says "i'd hit that" re: ladies on a regular basis

i am not allowed to say it anymore :(

my girlfriend says that only about the the gothy butch chick on the l-word

so luna is still alive then

the world may never know

this thread is blowing up my game plz deleet

"the game" basically boils down to "be confident" and "meet lots of girls" which i think are good pieces of advice.

all the other bullshit is to sell books and "boot camps" lol.

also cankles 10000000x OTM re: hot girls never having to shut up

Obama's turning to negative campaigning as a means of embracing Hil's tactics is like when your girlfriend is always throwing stuff at you in arguments but you're cool and collected but one day you snap and chuck a lamp and quite possibly you sleep on the curb that night.

I've had enough experiences with smart and crazy to want to go through rollercoaster again. Unfortunately, those are the sort of people I tend to end up with anyway, whether or not I'm trying to avoid them. Often you can't tell crazy from non-crazy before you've been with them long enough to form an emotional bond, and after that it's harder to break off, especially if the craziness is sort of intertwined with the stuff that makes her appealing. Besides, the last relationship I had with a definitely non-crazy girl ended partially because I found her too vanilla. Why can't I meet an interesting, cool person who'd also be totally sane?

What Is PSE
PSE stands for Psychological Stress Evaluation. It was developed by the US Military in the 1960's an an alternative to the polygraph. It became highly popular since there was no need for direct connection to the subject's body. It became a sort of "remote lie detector" since one could record conversation on a high quality recorder and then later analyzed on a PSE. The technique is based on the recognition of an involuntary voice tremor that can not be heard with the naked ear which is present when on attempts deception or lieing or is under emotional stress. Today, this same type of technology is in digital form and can be obtained in software program costing a small fraction of what these analog machines cost.

The only things that don’t use brakes are skateboards and things without wheels that don’t touch the ground, like boats. I guess that’s why most brakeless fixed-gear riders these days ride like they’re driving Boston Whalers while intoxicated—they’re slow, they weave, and they take a lot of time to stop. (That might also explain why they wear canvas boat shoes.) So put a brake on your bike and you can actually start to flirt with some speed on a bicycle.

I wouldn't even listen to an actual Italian's opinion on pizza. Pizza is AMERICAN.

i agree but they've still got some good-ass pizza in italy.

Right, but we know more about pizza in general

have you ever been to europe? (genuine question)

England, France, Switzerland, Spain

please rank those countries.

yes, the majority of the world's pizza research has been conducted in the u.s.

italian pizza is just a different thing. but awesome

Spain, England, France, Switzerland

TO BE FAIR

tutto buono flibbertyjibbits

I would put them England, Spain, France, Switzerland, but when it's comes to France and Switzerland it's like Hitler vs. Stalin.

what is bad about switzerland (serious question)?

it always depends on which part of the country. I got nothing but meh for paris or the majority of england tbh but I think living in london or most of the french countryside would be a blast. I've been to spain and switzerland but I was very small and remember nothing.

switzerland's too expensive to be fun

yeah the swiss franc is like the biggest meanest currency in the world

true. i've only been there for gigs, and it was in the southern part where it's basically like being in italy (going back in a few weeks actually).

my band is buying drinks in francs but getting paid in dollars :( :( :(

Ouch

I paid 9€ for a bottle of Kronenburg 1664 in Switzerland in what seemed like a pretty regular bar. No table service or anything.

How did you manage that? Switzerland is not in Eurozone.

he just kept putting his sad little bills on the counter until the bartender popped the cap off and handed him the beer

switzerland uses both francs and euros. all of our bar/restaurant bills had the totals in both.

I didn't have any CHFs because I was there for a CERN trip, which makes dealing with CHFs a pain.

Like 10,000 forks, when all you want is a knife, but then find with hindsight that a fork would have been OK after all = ironic.

Wow. Posts very much out of character.

The problem is that we all want to share everything with everyone, whether it's a party, the fact we've broken up with a partner or the fascinating news that we're planning to see Mamma Mia! that night. If you're a teenager or in your early twenties, you no longer celebrate your birthday with friends and family, you share the occasion with millions on Facebook. If you think that Britney Spears is being treated unfairly by the media, you video yourself having a tearful tantrum and stick it on YouTube (and get a TV show as a result, as happened in the States recently). And if you've smacked a Formula One boss's bottom, you immediately tell the News of the World.

How can people be getting paid to write horseshit like this?

most of the time ILM is like having a conversation with 40 people who love the sound of their own voices.

i bet at least a few ilxors have webbed toes, so you could just let 'em graze on the sidewalk for a similar effect

i would time travel to 1978 :/

I would too. This was always a standard year for my time-traveling cartoons to land in. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that 1978 is the first year I have really solid memories of.

i would and id go see STAR WARS

I can picture a certain someone pointing at that hood and going "buhrd".

so pretty pretty pretty

you guys need to take her to a car show and take a photo of her smiling and pointing omg :D

yeah!

the '78 ta was junk. piece of crap 403 engine. 76 was the last good year.

this is probably not the place to get on this particular soapbox but the whole "WHOA WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO WATCH THIS STONED!!!!!" meme is idiotic.

if you watched this stoned, you might do one or several of the following
- laugh more and longer than you would not stoned
- talk more in the movie theater, annoying other patrons
- lose your train of thought frequently, with a line or scene perhaps suggesting a long series of fantasies or random associations; consequently you might find it a bit more difficult to follow the narrative

This is more or less true for every movie. if you're the sort who can get paranoid smoking weed, and you're watching a scary movie, it might bug you out to an unpleasant degree.

i mean, what do you think will happen? you think the film has some secret code buried the mise-en-scene that will only appear to those who are high?

My first car was a 78 chevy nova. It cost a thousand dollars and I named it Sonja and it lasted about six years. Four days after I bought it, a driving instructor totaled a Mercedes on me and left me with a broken headlight. God I loved that car.

awman i love 60s/70s chevy novas & plymouth valiants

I have no love for the 1973 (or thereabouts) nova, as that was the one my mom had that would stall out constantly on the way to school and generally sucked

hahaha "/New Folder/New Folder/Error 1325531-G/"

my cousin lovingly restored a 70s nova in high school and then literally wrapped it around a telephone pole while we were in it. it's a miracle we weren't killed/maimed. the car hit the pole on the passenger side backseat in a sideways skid, nearly tearing the car in half. the car then spun back onto the road and came to a rest facing 180 degrees in the other direction. to get out we had to crawl through a hole ripped in the backseat opposite of the impact point. no seatbelts! if we had hit the pole a foot or two closer to the front passenger side I woulda been a grease spot, and if you saw a picture of the car afterwards you wouldn't believe anyone walked away from it.

early/mid 60s novas and the 65-67 valiant are fucking great. but you really can't beat the '68 volvo p1800.

so pretty
but i still feel more affinity with cars that look like this

fuel efficiency aside obv, but why does fuel efficient have to mean dumb looking?
god new cars are so ugly

^almost bought one once for $800. owner was having money trouble, unfortunately so was I.

my mom said her first car was an early 60s valiant. she didn't realize you had to change the oil from time to time and wound up seizing the engine.

my mom's first car was a 60s valiant too! she sold it some time around my 2nd brother being born and got a 70s vw van. which we had for like ever.

that dart is soo beautiful <3

god new cars are so ugly

i very seriously want one of these (in white)

JBR youll be killed in that thing!

it's a worthy sacrifice.

btw is it that new $2500 nano car (or did i dream that car?)

Are these cars just new in the US? They were to be seen frequently in London at least five years ago, maybe even more.

they're new in the u.s., but only the fortwo line is being sold here at the moment. they're selling really well, apparently!

sunny: it's the smartcar. they start at around $11000.

i want a car that's also a phone

my mum has a smart car

lol slocki

jbr i love you but i totally totally can't get behind the look of hybrid cars gaah

Smart cars are everywhere in Oxford/London. I think you get one when you qualify as an estate agent.

lol "qualify"
