> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > This is supposed to make women wanna ask him out and/or fuck him? :dubious: Huh. That sounds like the classic “Nice Guy”\* argument, except I haven’t seen him even start out pretending to be nice. - Self-proclaimed: whines about how “all” women are bitches who just want jerks and won’t give Nice Guys the time of day, etc., etc. Tons of misogyny and resentment wrapped up in a candy-coated shell of self-righteousness. ---

Didn’t the mods decide a while back that he’s only allowed one Pit thread at a time? So the other one should be closed now, right? Or better yet, this one. Or better yet, merge them again. ---

> [@elbows](#): > > I have no time for people with problems who would rather blame them on some scrapegoat/society than examine themselves and face their issues, grow, evolve. Better to be bitter, angry, righteously outraged, than take a close look at themselves. You’d have to be pretty masochistic if every injustice you saw in society caused you to look inside yourself for how you caused yourself to be victimised. What you’re doing there is arguing for drapetomania. ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > Le Jaq is pissed that dudes have to ask women out, and that dudes who don’t get laid are socially scorned (to both of which, fair enough). But of course he blows it up into a HUGE SOCIAL EVIL and goes on and on about how everyone who doesn’t think we should force all women into re-education centers so that they will ask dudes out first is an evil evil person who doesn’t believe in true gender equity etc etc etc. > > Also, his proposed solution to the problem of romantically unsuccessful dudes being scorned is to increase the amount of scorn romantically unsuccessful woman receive. Oh, please. You’re just scared of Real Equality, where unattractive, socially inept guys can finally point out what unfair bitches pretty girls are for without everyone jumping down their throats. After all, ugly guys deserve pretty girls just as much as confident, good-looking guys, right? Why should they get stuck with the uggos? It’s discrimination!! :mad: ---

What you’re doing there is arguing for drapetomania. I’m not certain that arriving at the conclusion that you can’t get laid because there’s something wrong with 50% of humanity makes one a shining beacon of mental health and emotional maturity, either. But maybe it’ll help now that he has a friend. ---

That’s what you get when you use outsourced cheap thinking the way these dopers do. Oh and now since you called bullshit you’ve been declared my friend. It can’t possibly be that you simply called bullshit for what it is. > [@DianaG](#): > > I’m not certain that arriving at the conclusion that you can’t get laid You’re the one making up claims that I can’t get laid. What, exactly, do you have to back up your lies? I mean, aside from the fact that I dared disagree with a woman about something. Oh yeah, you got nothing. You only make up stuff like that to terrorize men into shutting up. Sorry, I don’t get terrorized. ---
