I thought about asking him this, but the first rule about fight club is…well you know…
So what the heck has any of this to do with being a poser? It has to do with being an inappropriate creep, but nothing to do with however much he may be representing about himself as a hiker extraordinaire.
Generally, OP, you come off as a poser to me. You always seem to try to be posing as one of the cool kids, dissing the “Aspies” and trying to make it sound like you’ve got it together. You always strike me as obsessed with comparing yourself to others, with putting others down to make yourself look better, and with general cluelessness about what makes someone actually come off as confident in their own lives and senses of self.
Cool. Might be up there this summer meeting an old friend or two that used to hang out at Poseurs. I have fond memories of those crazy days. I’ll pm you if it happens. Thanks!
Not going hiking though. 
Wait, you go to AA meetings to pick up chicks? Dude, that’s just really, really sleazy, even by PUA standards.
Especially given that, despite the guidelines to the contrary, those groups can definitely be meat markets.
Yes. It’s the absolute bottom of the barrel short of actual rape.
Historically…nothing.
I kind of have no idea what the OP is talking about regarding “geek girls”. But I suppose every subculture has outsiders who want to emulate that culture for one reason or another. Typically they get specific details wrong, which creates a sort of “uncanny valley” effect of making them stand out as someone who is trying too hard.
Then again, all subcultures are artificial anyway.
Especially if you take them out for drinks.
Not as bad as hanging around the battered women’s shelter!
There is a saying in AA about going there to hook up: “The odds are good, but the goods are odd.”
Identity isn’t so wrapped up in genre labels that a poser doing it “wrong” can ruin it for you. In Trainspotting a guy defends the Sick Boy character as knowing “a lot about Sean Connery”. Renton replies “That’s hardly a substitute!” I feel my interests connect me to very human things, makes my world bigger. But yeah, it’s not a replacement for taking a chance. Not being a mind reader I can’t know some guy is wearing a tshirt for points. Who cares if he is? In the end it’s their deal to get to know themselves and mine my own. It seems a waste to assume you pegged them for not doing it whatever dumb way someone said this group who likes this did that.
I loved the freaks and geeks punk episode. The long timers test James Franco and he fails. He only knows the famous stuff. Please! It made me happy when he lets go same episode and plays d&d. Who cares if it’s the scene. Try to reach out, get past labels thing. I loved that.
