    Well, see here"s the thing. Society lies to you. Society lies to men and women equally. You shouldn"t be misogynistic or philogynistic, but to have the best grasp on things you need to be a little misanthropic and very much nihilistic, egotistic, and hedonistic. (too many -istics...) Why...

    If I"m told to behave or act a certain way, I always want to know why. Those self-help articles for men (and women) that talk about the art of the pickup, ladder theory, the game, associated behaviors, and the demeanor you should demonstrate are mostly correct in that it helps you build interest...

    I added after you quoted, but yes, that goes back to the egoism part. Money = power = enhanced ego.

    Below I"ll discuss the problem of dating and relationships in general, and Aamina"s experience a few pages back highlights these points (which I"ll expound further). But perhaps more importantly, I"ll try to explain why you have to behave as such on a deeper psychological level. And yes, you do...

    See I don"t understand how you arrive at that conclusion. If they"re not vocal and assertive, it means they"ve settled? I would say the opposite is the case; if they ARE vocal and assertive, it means they"ve settled.

    See I look at it completely different. From the responses you guys provide, in your mind, you conceive of it like a competition. Like a fight, right? A bride or gf to be "won" or "acquired". And in order to maintain this winning trophy or acquisition, it"s looked upon like you have to continue...

    Interesting.. see I"m pretty much the exact opposite in thinking. I don"t really care about ethnicity (ie, european, asian, caucasian raised on the moon etc), but I really don"t prefer american girls at all. Someone said it earlier, but the way in which our culture raises people imho is a little...

    ^ Actually the case is that American women, and men, suffer from an almost radical individualism/hedonism brought on by our culture when it comes to relationships. I would consider Asians much more normal, and superior, when it comes to creating and maintaining long term and loving relationships.

    Salary Negotiation

    Ok, maybe pose the question differently. Assuming there are two candidates with roughly equal skillsets and communication competence, but one has 3-5 yrs exp doing .NET implementations at Microsoft consulting. The other has 3-5 yrs doing the same thing at a much smaller consulting firm...

    Salary Negotiation

    I"m just hearing business buzzspeak though. I don"t know what type of requirement would necessitate an IBM or Oracle to shift or adapt as a whole organization. Anything that would make them do this, for example a Java, they always embrace or adapt very quickly. If they don"t, they get weakened...

    Salary Negotiation

    I thought you were in law, no worries. I"m in consulting as well. Using a technology at the organization that created said technology looks infinitely better than using the technology at a smaller firm. If by agility you mean, outside of bs business buzzspeak, the ability to leverage new...

    Salary Negotiation

    I don"t know law whatsoever, but I don"t see how that"s the case too. If you get into some hotshot law firm in NYC or DC, compared to Smith, Smith, and Smith attorneys at law in Bumfuck, Nowhere, does that not speak volumes in terms of the very same metrics as I alluded to in tech?

    Salary Negotiation

    No, disagree. Because those very same, large companies are the ones who create the things you need to be agile for. Learning a very marketable skill or technology from, well, the company that makes the skill or technology is pretty invaluable. Doing Websphere at IBM, Fusion Middleware or Java...

    Salary Negotiation

    The thing with a lot of companies is.. and this is speaking from experience.. you really don"t know how they initially filter resumes. I used to work for a very popular videogame company.. one of the big ones. You know how HR initially screened resumes simply because they got so many? A lady...

    Salary Negotiation

    ^ I disagree with the above, at least regarding IT/tech. The reasoning is because of the types of people, ideas, environments these global companies provide and allow you to interact with cannot be matched by a small company. Basically, what type of people and knowledge you get exposed to...

    Salary Negotiation

    You"re right, Zeste. From my experience (I work at one of the places you named), it"s very difficult to move up in these massive companies. The best way to move up in a company like IBM or Oracle or MS is to actually work there, find another job for 1-2yrs-ish, come back and get rehired at a...

    The difference is in the lying, the euphemisms marketing drones up, that, well, peoplewant to believeso they believe. Things like it affirms a lasting commitment, shows true love, et al. Those are outright lies driven by consumerism and marketing that, because of egotism, people want to believe...

    I was referring to the reason behind really wanting the item (egotism), not so much as how it"s obtained. I don"t know why you attribute all these qualities to me.. I"m not conceited, morally superior, angry, hateful, spiteful, or whatever else. I"m just curious to understand, to know. This is...

    Yes, that"s right... that the only reason a woman wants a wedding ring (well, an expensive wedding ring) is just for the extension of ego. It"s no different than buying a high-end sports car. And yes, I would classify all women who wants this as such, otherwise why does it have to be expensive...

    Well not no ring period.. but something that I would find that would have special meaning.. say it was made by me in some unique place, etc; some special meaning attached to the ring, not the size of the rock. Actually more specifically, I want to find a woman that when the topic came up, she...

    Oh I never said it was not this way.. it"s always been. The difference is though at least historically, people were honest about what it was. Nowadays, people say it"s for love or for union, when it clearly isn"t. See in my mind, I want to find a woman who"s strong enough and aware enough of...

    Right, that"s the usual response given. I"m cheap etc. So I then propose something like the following.. "Say I"ll spend a large amt of money on you.. as much as a very nice, expensive wedding ring.. thousands of k"s, right? The catch is.. it can"t be for something conspicuous; it cannot be an...

    Re: wedding rings. I"ve never understood them, and every woman I ask they simply just get angry and defensive.. maybe because it"s indefensible, I"m not sure. The point of a wedding ring isn"t to show your love for someone. We all know this. Everyone knows it"s all for social status++...

    I"m not talking about exercising or eating healthy or doing well at your job. Certainly, finding a girl/sex is motivation for those things too, and I don"t say those are bad. Obviously, you should brush your teeth for your own benefit, not a girl"s. But I do agree that is improvement, regardless...

    Here"s my question, and please try to answer in earnest and honestly.

    Actually, he"s correct. Money is social status. Bitches want social status above all. You can have the dirtiest fingernails on the planet, but if you have a proper amount of social status, it"s seen positively.
