Pures
People think pures are arrogent/jerks etc because they are idiots. If someone has a pure they're going to have a main or at least had a main. Somebodies personality depends on their personality not their stats - if a pure is arrogant, then they will be arrogant on their main too. It's safe to assume all (or at least almost all) pures have a main but not all mains have a pure. This means there must be more arrogant mains then pures. Simple logic.

I hope they serve beer in hell
For those who don't know tucker max, what a shame. For those who do, the first trailer is out for his movie! A green band trailer doesn't do an R rated movie justice, but it still looks awesome. It's a movie based on the Austin trip story from his book, with a bunch of funny little episodes from other stories thrown in. The hangover was only new movie I've found funny in a long time (probably because I can relate) but this looks awesome. If the movie is anything compared to his book, it will be a huge success. I just hope they do the character 'singblade' right. He's probably not called that in the movie, but it's the nerdy sarcastic guy who thinks all women are [bleep]. 'What's your porn name?' 'Scott Peterson' :lol: First movie I'm actually looking forward to for a long time

5(+) Things you gotta do before you die.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Here's my take. As usual, it's just my blunt opinion based on what I know about natural selection, psychology etc and from experience. Do what you want with it. [hide=] [/hide]

How much water to you drink per day?
I usually drink 3L+ a day. I love water

Food.
I love cooking, I make my own creations all the time. But the best food in the world would have to be mi goreng. It's nothing but fat and carbs, but man it tastes awesome. If it wasn't for the whole malnutrition thing and gaining weight, I would eat nothing but this stuff.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Lol. Natural selection and people both work in predictable ways ;) Depends on the person and their situation. I was in love at like 14 and again at 15, they both ended badly. I'm 18 now and been in a bunch of relationships, but haven't been in love since.

Hostility against Religion
[hide=]Forum Username: Age: 18 State (US only, do not give a city): Nation (do not give a city): Australia Educational level: graduated high school 1. Have you ever attended a worship of any religion? yes once or twice years ago, not my choice. 2. Do you consider yourself religious? I am agnostic, and believe people are ignorant and arrogant to think they can comprehend a deity 3. Is there a god, gods, or a supreme deity? Agnostic as I said. There might be a god, but not a god from any of man's religions 4. Is there an afterlife? Maybe, but I highly doubt it 5. How do you believe that existence came about? (in a nutshell) the big bang theory 6. Have you ever attended a worship of any religion that you do not consider yourself a part of? I went to a Buddhist temple once, if I were any religion it would be that because they don't worship a god. 7. What are your thoughts on non Judeo-Christian Western religions? Remember that religion is a broad term so please be specific. 8. What are your thoughts on Judeo-Christian religions? Remember that religion is a broad term and that both of these groups have many subdivisions that have radically different beliefs and practices. 9. What are your thoughts on Asian religions? Remember that religion is a broad term so please be specific. 10. What are your thoughts on African religions? Remember that religion is a broad term, so please be specific. 11. What are your thoughts on South American religions? Remember that religion is a broad term, so please be specific. 12. What are your thoughts on Aboriginal religions (any native group that was displaced, such as Native Americans, Maori, Aborigines, etc)? Remember that religion is a broad term, so please be specific. 13. What are your thoughts on pagan religions (Wiccan, alternative, Satanic, and other non-traditional forms of worship)? Remember that religion is a broad term, so please be specific. Also note that many alternative and pagan practices are not affiliated with Satanic worship. 7-14, I basically group religion into 2 groups, religion that worships a god which I think is bogus, and religion that concentrates on being a good person which I think is much better. 14. What are your thoughts on atheism, the belief that there is no supreme being(s)? Please remember that there are degrees to this belief, and that not all share the same thoughts. I think atheists are just as ignorant and arrogant as theists. 15. What are your thoughts on agnosticism, the belief that a supreme being(s) exists, but the individual chooses not to worship it/them (or if one is unsure if a supreme being exists, but does not outright deny its existence)? I think this is the best choice. A greater being is incomprehensible. 16. Have you ever publicly chastised someone who believes in a religion/school of thought different than yours? -elaborate -what group were they? what group were you? They were Christian, I'm agnostic. They started preaching to me, I told them to leave me alone, they refused and I verbally destroyed them. 17. If you belong to a religion or non-religion, please identify. -Did you consciously choose to follow this belief? -Did you belong to another belief, by choice or force, before following this belief? -Did you personally research (as in personally in the first person) options before coming to this belief? I am agnostic after a great deal of research, thought and reasoning. I was raised a Christian by my parents before I learned to think for myself. 18. Is intelligence (not IQ, but actual intelligence) correlated to one's belief in a religion or non-religion? Keep in mind that intelligence can not be measured by any science, this is simply your judgment call. I think so yes. 19. Does religion, in your observation, do good in the world? Please cite specific groups or denominations. It might scare a couple people into being good that otherwise wouldn't be, but otherwise no. 20. Does non-religion, in your observation, do good in the world? Please cite specific groups or denominations. If nobody is religious, the human race can move forward more quickly. 21. Does religion, in your observation, do bad in the world? Please cite specific groups or denominations. I think religion does more harm than good. It separates people of different beliefs, and it does no real good. Morals exist without religion. 22. Does non-religion, in your observation, do bad in the world? Please cite specific groups or denominations. No. 23. Please list your experience with sexual education, including but not limited to: lectures by parents, schools, religion, or non-education. Please do not list your sexual experiences. I've had lectures by parents and schools, I know the Christian teachings of sex ed. 24. Have you engaged in sexual intercourse of any kind? Please do not list your sexual experiences. A yes or no will suffice. Yes. 25. What, in your opinion, defines "love?" Love is evolution's way of keeping 2 people together to take care of their baby. 26. Have you ever been in, or are now in, a relationship? -Is sex involved? Yes. 27. Are you single/committed relationship/married? Single. 28. What, in your opinion, is sex's place in a relationship (or lack of relationship)?

I have taken LSD, and was always in complete control. 30. Have you ever partaken in marijuana? -Do you habitually use this substance? -Have you ever been "stoned?" -Have you ever lost control of your actions while under the influence of marijuana? I have taken it and been 'stoned', I don't habitually use it, and I have never lost control while using it. 31. Have you ever partaken in the consumption of alcohol? -Do you drink socially or alone? Or both? -Have you ever been drunk? -Have you ever lost control of your actions while under the influence of alcohol? I drink socially, I get drunk, and I haven't lost control over my actions. 32. Have you ever regretted a sexual encounter? No. 33. Have you ever regretted using an illicit substance? (excluding hangovers) No. 34. Have you ever regretted using alcohol? (excluding hangovers) No. 35. Have you ever given serious thought (longer than 30 minutes in a year) to the existence of a supreme being(s)? Yes, I used to think about it often.[/hide]

What's your RL fighting style?
I don't generally pick fights, I prefer verbal humiliation. I do get fights picked with me sometimes though, mostly from jealous guys and girl related, and I may have thrown a car jack at a moving ute once :roll: I used to do Aikido which is a defensive martial art, it takes power aimed at you and redirects it to throw them off balance. Probably the best martial art, the guy who started it could dodge bullets... This is what I do to start, the guy gets thrown around the place and nobody is hurt while I try and calm him down. Failing that, if he is a good fighter I would just soak up a punch and go straight for the fingers. Break a finger and the fight is over, since I don't start fights I can say it was in defense. If he's a bad fighter I'd just land a couple in his face and it's usually over then.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
For anyone that wants it, some advice I gave Mage_Man0103 [hide=] With the cube, I basically just bull [cabbage] my way though and was told it was pretty accurate even the first time I used it. Cold reading is all about saying things that are vague and could apply to anyone, but sounds specific. Then you use the person's reaction and go on from there. Also use what you already know about the person. Neil taught me the and/but/or rule. If you say something and they are positive (nodding head, smiling etc) say 'and....' then go on. If their reaction is negative, (they shake their head, say not really etc) say 'or/but...' then go on. For example if their cube was floating: "Most people have their cubes on the ground, you must be a creative person (not really) or you feel that you think differently to most (nods head) and you're an independent thinker." If you want you can research colour meanings online, but it shouldn't really matter. A disqualifier is pretty easy to do. If they are really attractive like a high 8, 9 or a 10, or if they think they are really attractive then you need to neg them, sometimes 4 times in a row. A disqualifier is easiest to do using push/pull. "You're funny, too bad you're not my type." "That's witty, too bad you're still a dork." Another great one is if you tease her about something, or if she disagrees with you on something: "Wow, we've only known each other for like 30 seconds and we're already not getting along." The attraction switches are things like pre-selection, leader of men/women, (social proof) protector of loved ones, ability to effect her emotions, confidence, smiling, humor, being well groomed, willingness to walk away, identify and a fun lifestyle she wants to be a part of. These are the qualities of an alpha male, and they are what you need to demonstrate through routines and stories over and over until you start getting indicators of interest. (IOIs) Then you can move onto the next stage which is qualification, then comfort. If you stay in attraction it will work against you and you can lose the girl even though she liked you. DHV is just demonstration of a higher value, which basically means to trigger to attraction switches. The 2 goals of peacocking: 1. To wear something 'different' that will put you under social pressure. People looking, low value guys making comments etc. 2. Something a girl can use as a conversation starter. I don't do anything outrageous when peacocking, but I still fill these goals. Do what suits you, but a couple things I use for peacocking: A hat similar to this in winter: http://www.survivaltopics.com/images/beaver-hats-33.jpg A big yellow smiley face belt buckle. Macaroni necklace. (I tell them my little niece made it for me) Bright green vans shoes. Tie with a tshirt. Rings, bling watch. You don't need to dress like a clown, 1 or 2 peacocking items will do. Try and have a story or something to say for the item you peacock with, for when people ask about it. Hope I helped. If it's ok with you I'd like to post this in the thread. I don't mind people hating on my advice, because I know at least a few people appreciate it, and that it does help the people who are open to something more controversial. No worries, I just read back what I sent and part of it looks a bit confusing. Just to clarify, disqualification is different to qualification. You open, get to the hook point (if you already know the person, or they are a friend of a friend, or you are introduced in some way you can skip these 2) disqualify yourself so they know you aren't hitting on anybody, build attraction to get her interested, then qualify her. This involved getting her to jump through smaller hoops, then bigger ones. Smaller hoops might be "are you adventurous?" then bigger hoops are things like "Now teach me something." This is so she is investing time and emotion into you and has a reason to stick around. It also gives her the impression she is winning you over, so she appreciates you more. Then you can move onto comfort and build rapport with her.[/hide]

Your first car wreck.
Yeah I heard about that, but I hit the guy on the side and we were in the middle of the street so it was pretty obvious to everybody. Plus I took pictures, and the phone numbers of a couple witnesses just in case.

Your first car wreck.
First accident was when a mate was driving drunk, doing fish tails at around 90kph and lost control. Went off the road, just missed a concrete drain, got back on the road and missed a power pole by about 20cm judging by the tyre marks the next morning. His car was fine except a flat tyre and broken skirting because we got air over a driveway. Second was when I was driving and some old guy pulled out in front of me. It would have been fine if he fully cut me off, but he stopped in the middle of the road and froze while I skidded into him :wall: The whole front of my car was crushed, radiator actually split in half.. It was insured though, and I had no excess fee because it was the other guys' fault.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Ehhhh, I know how you feel dude. I had depression for 3-4 years and words can't describe how much it sucks. Not saying you're depressed, but I know what it's like to feel how you do, and what train of though you need to get out of it. I wanted to post this so you would hopefully start fixing the problems before they get worse. The worse they get the harder they are to fix them. You have inner game and confidence issues, I really suggest reading mastering your hidden self by serge king. As for feeling worthless, read this: Different parts of your brain light up and connect with each other in different situations. The more times they light up together, the more connected they are and the more easily they both light up together. Part of your ear is what helps you balance, when you walk across a balance beam, tip to the left then correct yourself, billions of parts of your brain are all lighting up and connecting. Do this enough times and you get good balance. If you feel depressed and then turn on your tv, these parts of your brain light up and connect with each other. Do it a few times and you will be depressed every time you turn on your tv. This can happen with every thing in life, and is what leads to a downward spiral of feeling [cabbage]ty all the time. I want you to look for good things and point them out to yourself, no matter how small they are. When it's a nice day, when you don't have to wait long for the bus, when a friend lends you $5 etc. It will get easier the more times you do it, and it will definitely help because you are starting to relate good thoughts to different things, and make new connections over the old. After a while of doing this, it's only a matter of being more social and putting yourself in more fun situations. I used to speak maybe 3 sentences in a week, and always be at home. This went on for years. Now people are amazed with all the stories I have of the stuff I get into. As for feeling worthless, this is counterproductive in attracting women and life in general. I'm an extreme case, but I have a ridiculous amount of confidence, and I honestly think all girls can't keep their grubby paws off me. Call me arrogant/vain/a jerk or whatever you want, but it works out pretty well. Nothing will fall in your lap, you need to know you deserve it, and take it. Remember: You are amazing. People love you and respect you. You radiate charisma,charm, and grace. You stand out from everyone around you. Talking to you is a privilege. And you deserve the best the world has to offer. It's all out there , waiting for you to take it. Know this. Tell the mirror this every day to hard wire it into yourself if you want. It sounds cheesy, but it's true.

A little bit of Australia.
its like they are like parasites? sucking on our goodwill? Only some of them, and sucking on our ignorance is more accurate. It's a touchy subject, especially with the apology thing.

A little bit of Australia.
The aboriginals of today have not been 'screwed over.' They know nothing of what it was like before white man came to Australia, they aren't missing out on anything but they would like to milk it for what it's worth because they have a secret weapon: Nobody likes to be thought of as a racist. If the minorities are treated differently it's racist. If the minorities are not given special treatment it's also racist. Conflicting issues yes, people are idiots. Good for those who are living in society like regular people, or who live in tribes like their ancestors, but they shouldn't be given special treatment.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Would make more sense if you had read my previous posts itt. flying, then you're a rare case. It doesn't offend anybody else. Quite often, just for the hell of it, I tell the girl what I'm doing. I'll be honest and say I'm working on a book, and that I know what to say to attract her. Obviously they don't believe me most of the time, until I start doing things like: "You just scratched your arm, combined with the rest of the cluster I know you're attracted to me." Then go on about the scratching thing coming from chimps scratching to get their mates to pick bugs off them. If someone else said that at the wrong time, they would get weirded out and probably leave. If she's already attracted and we are building rapport, the logic will change to suit the emotions. I can talk about crap like that just for fun, and they are cool with it. I think either you are lying, or you are just more uncomfortable in social situations than the people I talk to. They aren't 'tactics' and I would bet anything you wouldn't notice them if it happened anyway. Just because some people know what's go what's going on, doesn't mean it's unnatural.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Thought I'd post a couple more random tips: Another way to deal with 'tests' (explained in an earlier post) is to agree with them and exaggerate it. examples: That (item of clothing) makes you look gay. That's because I am super gay, I made out with like 20 dudes today. Is that some sort of pickup line? Yeah my mum gave it to me, is it working? No you can't have my number. Good idea, I'll probably call you like 40 times a day and try to get to you meet my parents for the wedding preparations. Role playing: I'm going to x country for the holidays. omg sounds fun, wish I could go Yeah, I'll take you in my suitcase and sneak down to the baggage compartment and give you my plane peanuts. We can.... etc That's it we're breaking up, you can keep the dog but I want my cd's back. You can go through a series of breakups, re-marriages, love triangles, make up sex etc. his brings her though a range of emotions (read up on neuro-linguistic programming if interested in how it works) and the ability to effect her emotions (both good and bad) is one of the attraction switches I mentioned earlier. 3rd tip of the day is avoid trying to sell yourself. If you talk about yourself to somebody (unless it's a story) it sounds like you are selling yourself to them and portrays that you have the lower value. None of the "yeah I'm sore because I had a weight training sessions today, I benched like 400" etc. Instead, if you want to demonstrate qualities, you do it through stories. To demonstrate pre-selection, instead of saying, "I have an ex gf" start a story with "A couple months ago I was at my gf's place and...." You can add something funny you did to stick up for her, that's 3 attraction switches in 1 story. You need to flip them over and over. In a story concentrate more on feelings and emotions than what happened. A comedian just switches from joke to joke with no real connection, you can do the same with stories. Another way is to talk up a friend. "You should meet sam he works with dolphins/he does this cool thing where he can guess your bday(explained the trick in an earlier post)/he can hold his breath for 10 minutes" Or whatever you want. People align themselves with those with equal or higher value, if they aligned themselves with those of a lower value it would lower their own. If you tell them about a great friend, it raises their value. Since they have aligned them self with you, it raise your value also. Plus it raises your value further because you are being a good friend.

Looking for a New Game? Ask Here!
I would have to suggest deus ex 1 if you haven't played it. It's sort of an rpg fps, except that it's good. Depending on your style of play, you could finish the whole game without killing anybody and not taking any damage. Excellent story line too. Older game but not popular, I rarely see people talking about it. There are heaps of ways you can play, depending on what you like. Say there is a room full of guards with a lock on the door and an auto turrent inside. You could pick the lock, throw in a tear gas nade and use a tranq to put them to sleep and then sneak past the auto turret. You could hack a computer to make the turret attack the guards then blow up the door with a grenade. You could double back and find a way to go over via the rooftop. You could use a computer to hack open the door and run in with guns blazing and use an emp nade to take out the turret. You could go through the vents and throw a grenade in, skip that part and take the other option or 2 to finish the mission, or you could skip that mission entirely and miss out on the reward. Lots of replay value? Hell yes. The secret of monkey island and monkey island 2: lechuck's revenge are also something I highly recommend. Hilarious games with plenty of puzzles. They are old but not really popular. I would be very surprised if you've played them and not added them to your all time favorites.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
He sounds a bit seedy with the nude beach thing. To each his own about the bum slapping - I do it to almost everyone I know and they all just laugh and do it back. It sounds like he isn't any real competition so I wouldn't worry about it, probably wouldn't change anything and it's more trouble than it's worth.
