I'm not disagreeing with you, just explaining the other side of the coin. How would YOU act if you spent the first 15 years of your life spoiled and sheltered, then the next 20-25 being alternately coveted or taken advantage of by every man in your life with no real way to tell the difference...

I cash out 800-1000 tix a month to paypal from my speculation business. It pays the entirety of my mortgage. I really did just want to borrow some 'tarns to test UR delver for the weekend. I bought them and they've lost 4 tix each in value since. :/ I do need Polluted Deltas though.

It's possible that there's really two friendzones, and people just get them confused. There's the friendzone that the PUAs have identified, that hopeless betas put themselves in. And then there's the 'reserve tank' that young women have, this mythical place they put guys they would like to...

No, that's when men friendzone themselves. I'm with the PUA logic on that.

That's not exactly what I'm saying. Women, particularly young women, have this concept of their lives as way 'crazier' than it really is. And they think they're doing guys a favor by "sparing" the ones they "like" from the "crazy", not realizing that men have an insanely high tolerance for...

I do want to add that while I think the "friendzone" is a fair characterization of what women do to men, I do think that men don't see the woman's side of the whole "friendzone" thing. A lot of women put guys in the "friendzone" not because they want to manipulate men; a lot of the time it's...

I dunno why you're arguing with me, since I wasn't disagreeing. The whole conflict comes from a fundamental difference in how men and women view the word "friend" and how they view sex. Women will call the cashier at the shoe store they go to twice a month their "friend" where men...

Cat probably dropped Jon on the head quite a few times out of spite when he was a baby, so he's got a thick skull. It would explain A LOT.

The problem is that these girls think they're something special, rather than easily interchangeable.

That's not overclockable is it?

Yeah, seriously, don't buy a prebuilt PC. Commodity grade parts for premium prices...

Their continued irrelevance?

Pretty sure you can play emulated Xenoblade with Dolphin, at near full compatibility.

Did not say 'naturally.' Economists have done this study. Women are less risk averse in more equal societies, and in the handful of matriarchal tribes studied, the women are actually greater risk takers than the men when tested with economic game theory. So having political or social power...

No, that's not it. That's only 1 year after graduation. This was way more exhaustive, and specifically accounted for things that happen over the course of a career, like the fact that women are more risk-averse and therefore less likely to leave one company to take only a slightly higher...

You're not listening. If you just go collectively, it's that 77% figure that gets tossed out all the time by lefties and feminists. The 4-8% was an exhaustive statistical study, attempting to statistically account for every legitimate factor you can think of, like the ones I listed and many...

Does this guy have ANY credentials? There's no way his IQ even breaks the average. How about this: At MIT, the humanities are just as important as STEM - Opinion - The Boston Globe

The best, most extensive data I've ever seen on the topic put the gap at 8% for women across the board, 4% for single women. I'm trying to find the exact paper. It attempted to statistically factor out personal choices such as having a family, wanting more secure jobs or jobs with better...

Have you ever even left your fucking house?

I didn't say anything about discrimination. I just said that once you've done the math and tried to factor out everything else, there's still an 8% gap. 8% isn't a bad number, and when you look at just single women it's closer to 4%. Individual ability is going to far overshadow those numbers...

I already discussed this. The article is right. It's not 77%. From the math I've seen, it's like 92% once you've factored out all the major reasonable confounds; degrees, family, less risk-taking behaviors like jumping from one company to another for horizontal advancement. Making 8% less...

Where did this post even come from? There's so many job postings for 'mathematicians' out there. This is the same argument people were using about men fleeing education because it's 'hostile' to men and doesn't pay very well. Computer science is hostile to women, the hours totally blow...

You're just stating exactly the same thing that I'm stating. Men love whores, and don't hold other men accountable for being whores. Many men secretly or even openly want tobewhores. And that's why our political system is so fucked.

No, see, it's just that women are more aware of the whole 'act like a whore' cheat. Thought experiment: Two people are watching a third person play Contra. One person is aware of the existence of the Konami code, sees the 30 lives and knows he cheated. The other person isn't aware of the...

Who said it was unreasonable? If men were better at calling out male candidates for acting like whores, our political system would be way less fucked up. The fact is, menlikewhores, and expect everyone to act like a whore if given the opportunity. And that is why shit is fucked up. Men...

Evidence based arguments a good, but solid logical arguments work as well, so long as your premises are sound. Lithose isn't providing a lot of evidence for most of what he's saying, but you'll support it because it flows logically from a set of premises that seem defensible, and that's fine...

Regardless, I don't think these guys are clever enough to turn the right knobs on the public consciousness to get the public support for a draft for a literal war for oil. A draft is just too likely to backfire. Other than massive food shortages, a draft is one of the few things that would...

I think it'll be fun to play a BF game where there's more 'soft' vehicles and less tanks.

It looks really good but seriously it should be like 30 dollars. The only way it's worth 60 is if the single player is both long and good. It might be good but I doubt it will be long.

It was a bit of rhetorical trap, yes. My argument wasn't that the small group of rich white men wouldn't try to buy female candidates. Of course they would. It was that women are better at detecting which female candidates are blatant whores, because women have innate (though occassionally...

1) Makes some sense but doesn't really pass Occam's Razor. Or Hanlon's Razor for that matter. We're in Iraq mostly because some neo-cons thought it would be easy, having not really understood just how factious and tribal their society really was. The oil part seems like a distant second to...

Uh, isn't the US getting almost all of its oil from this hemisphere now? And most of those fields are on the new side? And natural gas from fracking making even that oil less relevant every year? The fucking euros can police the third world shitholes if they need their oil. I can see some...

This thread is now about dragons, or actually zombies. Let's say you're drafting some massive contingency plan, like the equivalent of the Redeker Plan from WWZ (The book, not the abortion of a movie.) You're going to save as many men as you absolutely need to perform all the anticipated...

CURRENT SOURCE PLZ. The last time we were scraping even close to the bottom of the barrel for was 2005, because the economy was still rolling along decently in most parts of the country. They're back to turning people away again. Further, your point makes no sense. Romney being elected...

Depends on the scale of the disaster. If it's a large one, like meteors or CYLON ATTACKS or something, then women are way more valuable than men, because a handful of men can impregnate a lot of women, and are generally happy to do so. But yeah, for your every day disasters, it doesn't make...

It's called a logical argument, that flows from a set of premises. You can attack the premises, or the structure or the argument, or both even, but attacking me is just an ad hominem fallacy.

edit: idk

I was very close to signing up as well. The whole rapeyness thing was a serious dealbreaker. And yes, I do realize that more men get raped in the military than women, but that's a meaningless statistic because the odds of any given male being raped is still ~1/6th of the chance of any given...

Oh definitely no problem at all. I don't understand how it isn't already mandatory.
