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.

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?

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

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.

xxp "Did he just talk to me like I'm ugly?"

ha!

girls girls hate when u think theyre hot / girls girls love when u think theyre hot

thread could've ended here.

watson's girl: would smash

no shame

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] me: there's nothing better btw
[20:31] me: than girls who talk shit bout alba, explaining that she's a "bad actress"
[20:31] me: uhhhhh
[20:31] andrew: ahahahaha ya
[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
[20:33] andrew: it's like being like I HATE THE BEST BOXER IN THE WORLD ::fights andrew golota::

ugh i have a friend who totally buys into this game shit

i'm like "bro you're creeping out all the ladies with the laying on of hands stuff"

"anthropological curiousity" surrrrrre

j/k

is that andrew bubbles? XD

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

nick sylvester says otherwise

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.

No

tbh i kinda feel like you can add "vs the US" to the titles of so many threads and have them be a more accurate summary of the content, just like you can add "for white dudes" to the titles of so many threads for the same reason

A lot of kids’ titles there. Kids are notorious for wanting to watch the same movie, or have the same book read to them, over and over. Kind of wild that in the streaming world it’s just like “sorry, it’s gone. No, that’s no DVD of it. How do you even know what that is??”

Maybe it’s good. We need to relearn the art of handling evanescence.

Personally love when people repeat a point I already made in a worse way, too!

― here you go, muttonchops Yaz (gyac), Thursday, February 9, 2023 4:29 AM (yesterday)

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. A few months ago people were repeatedly pasting the same tweets w/zero commentary, which was seriously maddening. Is this a Zing/phone problem? Standard-issue narcissism? [insert obvious killfile joke]?

The key to avoiding having this happen is to make points that no sane person could agree with.

Momus tried that for many years

"people repeat a point I already made" is also known as "agreeing"

hey just so everyone knows, if someone repeats a point someone else already made, you might also call it "agreeing"

I agree

I haven't read the thread but the last post otm.

Also so much American(western?) conspiracism is entirely based on reactionaries being denied their treats.

All other aspects of life being stripped away except for consumerism, and deny them the thing they want right when they want it, and it must be some malefactor plotting against them.

I dont think I ever confirmed the original TB question in this thread. I guess 16 years later is as good a time as any: Omar was correct.

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!!~"
