> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ryan\_Liam \* > \*\*What was so annoying about saying ’ I like Anime?’ \*\* There’s nothing annoying about saying “I like anime”. That’s not what I’m talking about, and I think you know it. You keep trying to _pick up girls_ on _this message board_. STOP! For the love of all that is sacred. This is not some aol teen chat room. Look, I understand you’re insecure and lonely, and I pity your feelings. I really do. But doing things like this makes you look so unbelievably bad and pathetic. I’m not saying this to be mean, despite being in the Pit. But I can tell you from experience that coming across as clingy and needy and desperate for attention is not the way to make friends. Just chill out. ---

Hey I have a higher post count, so you can’t tell me what to do, NEENER, NEENER. If I wanna try to get together with someone on this board then thats my business and my business alone ok? Plenty of other people have done it. Why can’t I? (Hows that for immmature?) ---

This isn’t a pick up board, that’s why. Yeah, we flirt and joke around, but in general, we’re more interested in conversations, rather than a hook up scene. ---

So am I, but now I want to talk to people (well, women) and try to get to know them and be a nice friend. And hopefully the rolls-reverse will happen. ---

**Ryan** , word of advice about Guin: Don’t. Don’t even try. She doesn’t have the patience for someone of your flake factor;) Or, if you _are_ interested, play it her way. This means, big hint here, not doing things like your recent MPSIMS thread. And in the mean time, grow the fuck up. You want to get someone’s respect? This ain’t where it’s at. ---

Can’t someone dig up a linkety-linky-link to the Kwyjibo vs Ryan\_Liam battle mentioned in the OP? A had a look but couldn’t find it. Might spice up this thread a little. ---

Please, Ryan, I’ve tried to be nice and understanding to you. I hope, in some of your other threads, I’ve offered you some good advice. I understand that you’re young and lonely and trying to find your place in the world. But please stop trying to hit on girls in such an obvious manner. It’s embarressing for all concerned.
