Oh please. That is so cursed.

Why are the Bros. Quay just giving their stuff away like that?

Does it come with a monkey paw?

i can hear you when you're doing it. not just the idea, but all the details - her, you, the change in pitch and urgency, the furniture, &c. most people would have complained already, but the thing is that i'm kind of a pervert.
today she finished once, i finished three times.

in short: life is short, and we are young, and love is fleeting, and our walls and floors are thin, so please feel free to continue to seize the moment.

if that makes you feel awkward, then you really should be more courteous of your neighbors in the first place.
buuut. if you like it... by all means, please continue!

cheers.

I always appreciate an eavesdropping perv who knows how to lay down an old-school "&c."

and a tart 'cheers'

that lengthy m4w posted upthread by Barnaby, Hardly is a firestorm of OTM, fwiw

it's close to the edge at times but he never veers into the all out territory i feared.

i gotta admit i was squinting at the name at the bottom trying to make it look like yrs tho

yeah I was expecting batshit megalomaniac idiocy but actually the dude fucking nails it

well ur the feminist dude but i wouldn't say he nailed it, but he maybe showed good restraint while writing about a subject that still clearly pissed him off.

uh, no

cool max let's hear yr refutation

im not sure a 1000-word screed about why some guy with no sense of social cues wont buy girls drinks needs 'refutation'

I definitely wouldn't say he nailed it amirite

buy the girl a fucking drink, or dont, but if she gets mad at you when you dont, deal with it.jpg

but, assuming what he says is true, he did deal with it! with quite some panache! also he seems quite good at spotting social cues

i guess i just dont really "get" that story

like is it a story about how cool that guy is?

i dunno, i can't really endorse the part where he's "look what a good guy i am, i bought a drink for a fat girl so she wouldn't feel left out! wouldn't sleep with her, of course, ew, good thing i had an open-minded friend."

shit i missed that part, but i was skimming.

guys who have lengthy bullet-pointed reasons why they dont buy drinks for girls are not "cool guys"

"social cues" means that ladies always drink free?

I can see where "Are you going to buy me a drink?" could be flirting, but it's kind of classless in that after that amount of time it was pretty obvious that he wasn't, and she could have either ordered her own drink, or moved on. That "have fun with the fatty" shit was just rude, though.

tbf they're numbered and not bullet-pointed. Like, the order matters, man.

the guy sounds like an aspie dick

i just dont really get why that craigslist post exists, or what people find humorous or interesting about it, is it that the girl who was flirting with him at the bar and asked for a drink got her 'comeuppance' or something?

He's trying way too hard to make a point, but you have to admit, max, that a number of women (and men) buy into this social norm that girls are supposed to get bought drinks by men as some sort of social convention. imo this dude is being a dick, but she's leaning on what's less of a chivalrous custom and more of a continuation of inequality to get drinks

omg it's happening again

yeah on the list of things that bug me "the dynamic of buying drinks at bars" is far far lower than "craigslist essays about how cool some guy is"

like "inequality" is not really a word that should enter into that conversation

women getting paid less per hour on average than men is "inequality"
the social custom of men buy drinks with women is "anachronistic" and "sort of silly"

i dunno, i can't really endorse the part where he's "look what a good guy i am, i bought a drink for a fat girl so she wouldn't feel left out! wouldn't sleep with her, of course, ew, good thing i had an open-minded friend."

this doesn't bother me. he got her involved, had a conversation, brought her into his world, and although she wasn't necessarily his type, his social world contained a dude she clicked with. no problems there. it isn't condescending, it's exhibiting decency towards a fellow human who's also not quite at home in this sort of social situation

fwiw I am not particularly comfortable (although still confusingly effusive) at late-night bars either so I fully sympathise

The real humor is that he thinks cranking out thousand word essays on this is novel or entertaining, and I'm really laughing at him and not with him.

all falls down to two things-

how obnoxious/dickish he was in the manner of his refusal to buy

how badly she reacted to this

not sure how you're meant to make any wider judgement call on one guy's version of two people being dicks.

which is kinda what i spent two days saying in the other thread tbph

Guy who in one bulletpoint goes on about how he expects a return on his investment of buying a girl a drink in the form of phone numbers and dates then in the next goes on about girls who are slags because they "view sex as a transaction" for wanting to be bought drinks = supreme form of self delusion or hypocrisy or I don't know what.

And yeah, that whole "give me points for being nice to a fatty" spiel at the end just left me with such a revolting taste in my mouth.

And see, Louis, stuff like this is why women are kind suspicious of men who go on about how "feminist" they are, while still giving this kind of hypocrisy the thumbs up.

kate otm

Give LJ some credit, he would have at least entertained the fatty

he draws a clear distinction between sex and dating/phone numbers, also fuck you, also fuck you, also fuck you

why don't you fucking close-read you numbskulls

Also, SB, SB and SB.

seriously fuck you, you're one of the most impolite fucking posters on ilx
