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~

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)

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".

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)

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
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― deeznuts, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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 wouldn't nec say "worse" every time, but it's weird to me that ILX is quieter/more depopulated than ever but this happens so much.
