Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

Have you ever been to a bar at closing??

i have, and it's been me, whoever i'd gone there with, and the bar people.

I have, and I never only then thought, for the first time all night, that I'd better look around the room and find someone in the last few minutes lest I go home alone

i sometimes forget that i live in a city where the bar-closing hookup literally replaced religion in the 60s

To me, hooking up at closing just says "hey youre smashed I can take advantage of that" which... eww.

tbh i think it's often a lot to do with the person looking being smashed enough as well tho?

tru dat

I mean Im not saying I havent had ill advised drunken hookups... just not at closing at a bar. Theyre usually dates that end up as "whoops we got drunk and ended up in bed"

Study: Half of Women Prefer Drunk Sex

Confirms what I long suspected....

Fifty-five percent said they like to be tipsy while having sex, and 7 percent want to be downright wasted.

Because making love is just so much fun when the room's spinning.

To me, hooking up at closing just says "hey youre smashed I can take advantage of that" which... eww.

No, it's more "we are both smashed and we're still at the bar at closing, still striking up random conversations so we obviously are looking for the same thing"

not that I have done this, but I may have made out with someone I met near bar close and then talked to for about ten minutes while waiting for pizza

they give you pizza on the way out?

btw this closing-time stuff at gay bars often continues in the throng outside, spawning the term "sidewalk sale."

nah we made out after the pizza

bit cheesy

any way you slice it

That's the way you knead it.

lol

the 3 a.m. bar hookup scene (and not just at big clubs you'd never go to) during summer in Montreal is a Real Thing. freedom reigns.

Well, booze reigns, but...

I am going to train myself to be able to sleep on demand when I can in order to non-sleep during early morning hours in another week or so. I think I currently turn into a pumpkin somewhere around 2ish?

uh not to hook up in montreal at 3am, but to be social until late hours...

bit cheesy

Yada, yada, topping.

i was hoping we were gonna do a journey thing

Hahaha I never heard this term and it's awesome.

That's it, I'm going to Montreal.

^^^^^yeah seriously

i think i am going to delete my old okc and start a new one, because i kind of feel like throwing everything in the garbage right now. i got this awesome message today:

I'm thinking of setting up a harem. What do you think?
Here's the deal. I shall approach every woman who I score more than 90% with after answering 100 questions.
We shall dwell on a tropical island. By this time, I shall of course be a multi-billionaire thanks to my shady business dealings, blackmailing the heads of the G8 using loose women and narcotics.
You shall be required to be a geisha-like companion to me on this island, fulfilling my basic sexual needs, and perhaps playing an instrument, though not simultaneously.
Cooking and cleaning skills are a plus, but not mandatory. I shall be known as the Overlord, but obedience is not compulsory, especially since most of the women I score more than 90% with (let's call them "the 90 percenters") are angry liberal feminist political science majors who would baulk at so much as doing some laundry.
At some point, you will be required to bear a minimum of one child. This is so I can fulfill my genetic predisposition to produce as many offspring as possible. The resulting offspring can then be reintegrated back into society, in order to revitalise it and act as a new master race for the overthrow of tyranny and the ushering in of the new, enlightened age.
Jealousy may be an issue between you and the other 90 percenters, but I think we can organise conjugal rights efficiently, perhaps on some sort of rota basis. I hereby undertake not to play favourites. A certain amount of adulation and affection would be required ideally, but may be feigned if not developing naturally.
What do you say?
M. Noir

M NOIR, go fuck yourself.

Why do guys think that kind of shit is funny? :|

because they are gross creeps with no social skills?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck, do I ever despise a large percentage of other people with penises.

AND he spelled "balk" incorrectly! *shakes head*

Yeah, sorry for my gender, y'all.

he probably gets like one out of sixty women to respond positively by carpet bombing that message. guess he like rate of return.

I'm not even sure it's about getting a "result," I think for some dudes it's just fun to be a shit to women on the internet. I mean, it's not they're real people.

I think for some dudes it's just fun to be a shit to women on the internet.

Fixed. This is apparently a big PUA move: alternating between flirty chumminess and overt dickishness. Keeps those weak-willed women off-kilter so you can totes take advantage of the insecurity you helped foster, brah.

To the extent that it's ever at all successful, PUA tactics seem to have something in common with Stockholm Syndrome.

Castration's too good for dudes like that

Oh Ive chatted to plenty of neggers and I'd imagine many of em have nevr ever read PUA, its just something some guys think is a good move anyway. The old treat 'em mean keep 'em keen angle? Maybe it works with some young dills, I dont know?

yeah seriously. it really makes the pool of datable people that much more shallow. every time a relationship ends i sink into a sort of despair that i'm not interested in dating women.

Also (although I don't want to make a big thing about it and totally derail this thread), it totally ruins things for guys who aren't like that. It's exhausting how much damage control I feel like I have to do when I'm dating someone, like, "No, I'm really not trying to fuck with your head here" or "No, I'm really not cheating on you or have any desire to do so" or "No, I really don't have any ulterior motives, just that whole thing where I actually like you and enjoy spending time with you". Or maybe I just date damaged women, although I doubt they doubt they necessarily came into the world that way.

Totally a (lesser but still significant) illustration of how the patriarchy ruins the party for everyone.

PUA tactics seem to have something in common with Stockholm Syndrome.

yeah i guess it in some ways is almost like hyper-condensing Stockholm Syndrome experience down timewise. or at any rate at least a super-cynical way of exploiting people's basic desires to be liked

the thing is, some of it is not so far off from what i think are just natural-enough approaches to flirting... except it mostly ends up conflating playfully ribbing someone like you might tend to do with someone you feel affection towards with just plain being a dick

but also i know i have interacted with at least one woman in the past who was relentlessly "negging". which isn't to try to say that it's not overwhelmingly a weird guy thing to do. but, i think maybe some people just feel more comfortable with that style of interaction, it tends to leave far less room for being vulnerable or whatever. i don't know. basically people are fucked up, i would like to be able to exclude myself from that category but ? also i am trying to make a concerted effort to not be defeatist and trying to remember how surprisingly great people can be. but obv there are moments when it's a challenge. guh.

do you think calvin and suzy ever got together

i met a friend's girlfriend for the first time yesterday, and she was really into momus' music. and i felt bad, because she was trying to ask me about certain records by him or whatever, but all i could think of was certain threads from ilx: the momus years. anyway that should go on "too much time on ilx thread". sorry. it's a disease.

I have Munchausen's Flag Post-itis

I so don't get this whole "negging" thing. I can't imagine how that would make anyone more attracted to you.

Does it go along with this weird, bitter "no girls ever go for nice guys, only assholes!" thing some guys seem hung up on?

in momus related okc news, my ex and i realized we were both at the same momus show in boston like 10 years ago and it was the pivotal point of realizing we both didn't really like momus's music and that he kinda sucked.

happier times....of mutual momus disappreciation

you'd think that's enough to build a relationship on but no!

lol!
