> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > The feeling of conquest that comes from giving a woman some good orgasms and causing her to fall in love with me is not something I strive for anymore. So to you, giving a woman “mind-blowing orgasms” is all that is needed for her to fall in love? Who, or what, is she falling in love with? ---

This is why I stick with the old-style hardwired dedicated-network Woman rather than the newer cloud-based wireless Woman: less risk of hacking. ---

A mundane OP with an edgy title. Shoulda been “Hacking The Modern Messageboard”. On preview: **Honey** funny! ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > So to you, giving a woman “mind-blowing orgasms” is all that is needed for her to fall in love? Who, or what, is she falling in love with? It depends on the woman, if she is fresh out of a divorce and has not been around much it might just be enough to have her become emotionally attached. If she has been around a bit I don’t worry about it. The only point I was making is that I like to be aware of other peoples feelings and consequences that sometimes go along with being intimate. ---

Maybe well written, but pretty shallow advice. Shallow because it’s aimed at all woman (or “modern women” as opposed to the ancient ladies everyone’s been trying to hook up with.) Any advice aimed at appealing to a broad range people will be inherently shallow, because you do not focus on any particular individual. Ever notice how most politicians have vapid and wooden personalities? That’s because they are trying to appeal to as many people as possible. They do not talk about any controversial or interesting ideas, because if they do, if they take a stand on something, they’ll alienate someone who doesn’t hold their position. The problem with using this approach with women is that you’ll attract equally vapid and shallow women using it. The good news is that you do not need to use this approach because you do not need to appeal to as many women as possible. You can get through life by just appealing to a few of them. My advice is not to follow the advice in the OP. Figure out a set of principles and values and live your life as a well developed person. ---

Ain’t nobody got time for all that. After reading just what I’d have to do, I think I’m gonna stick with internet porn. ---
