Guest Raidne Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 [quote name='kiko' post='1744742' date='Apr 4 2009, 13.33']loss of short term memory, R? :P The first replies dismiss the article thoroughly. Why should there be further argument once the discussion moved to an apparently much more interesting topic?[/quote] Sorry, I meant the people who are taking the thread topic seriously, not the first few joke posts. It wasn't a serious critique or anything anyway. :) [quote name='thebadlady' post='1744718' date='Apr 4 2009, 13.08']I read it, and I didn't think it was much more shallow than many others on the internet. Not so much as to warrent comment anyway. Besides, what can you say about the article? She was a dumb ho? Like thats interesting.[/quote] I thought the first page of the thread was kind of funny. :dunno: And more interesting than the utterly predictable, point-proving part of the thread where people insulted each other. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenalpia Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I thought it led to a pretty balanced discussion with very little insulting going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a little bit to get there, but it was nice to read while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 [quote name='Jacen' post='1745598' date='Apr 5 2009, 17.54']Really what this thread about is just an expression of general angst and malaise towards the board for being what it is, [i]sometimes.[/i][/quote] *shrug* Still makes no sense. As I said, the characteristics you appear to be suggesting are peculiar to the board are actually pretty typical of any conversation. So much so as to make the act of pointing them out really sort of banal. If that was the original intention of the thread, it's pointless navel-gazing. It interests me very little, and actually says nothing whatsoever about the content of the thread. ETA - about which, I'd echo ten and Raidne.

Eponine Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I got hit on by a single father on the Metro yesterday. At least I hope he was a single father, because if he was married, that would have been very creepy. I thought of this thread, which may or may not be kind of sad. I also thought that being a single father might be MORE effective in getting a date, in the sense that if a guy with kids in tow asks "do you want to come to the cherry blossom festival with us", you might be more likely to trust him not to murder you and dump your dead body in the Potomac in front of his kids. He looked way too old for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delete this account pls Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Does your dating criteria normally include the question "is he likely to murder me and dump my body in a river?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough to find the right guy that putting extra limits on it just seems silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you get the picture. Between the media and creepy shows like that. it's a wonder We don't all lock ourselves indoors and only use the Internet to communicate with others...wait :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delete this account pls Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Maybe speculation on the possibility of murder isn't such a bad thing. When I was 19, a girl pulled a knife on me while we were getting it on. Just to 'see how I would react'. I was so scared I only dated her for another 3 or 4 months.

The_BlauerDragon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I hate to say this, but... I'm pretty sure that the only reason women don't have thoughts like that whenever they encounter me is the severe lack of rivers here in Arizona. I've been told more than once before (by close friends) that I can be extremely creepy at times and that I thoroughly creeped them out the first time that they ever met me... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
