I read this NY Post article and it reminded me of this thread: [US Army warns about possible mass shootings by incels at ‘Joker’ screenings](https://nypost.com/2019/09/25/us-army-warns-about-possible-mass-shootings-by-incels-at-joker-screenings/) Just super. ---

In any other context, the U.S. Army advising service members to run if they can, hide if they can’t and fight only as a last resort would sound rather odd. :dubious: ---

Newsflash: Women are attracted to attractive men! Also … Being a woman-hater is a turn-off. In other news, Francisco Franco is still dead. > [@Chimera](#): > > \*heterosexual women put average penis as No. 3, followed by large hands and, interestingly, a short head of hair \* Hmmm. Good to know. I always thought my #3 penis was below average. As for “short head of hair”: In 7th grade a lovely 7th-grader massaged my scalp and told me I would never go bald. She turned out to be correct. (a) Is that why female admirers didn’t swarm around my under-confident full-haired self? (b) Was the 13-year-old honey flirting with me? Did I miss an opportunity? Free advice: I have discovered one way to get attractive women in their 20’s and 30’s to flirt with you: _ **Wait until you’re in your 60’s!** _ They’re happy to practice their arts on you when they know you’re completely harmless (and your weapon probably isn’t even loaded). ---

Yes. You missed an opportunity. Blockhead. ---
