my answer remains the same either way

There's like no benefits that monogamy offers me which poly doesn't. Do you really think a guy like me who's become used to sexual variety could remain happy with just one partner for 50+ years? Imagine only being allowed to jerk off to just one porno for the rest of your life or eating the same meal every day. Even if it's your favorite, it's not enough to overpower the basic human need for variety. I'd be better suited for monogamy if I were still a virgin :P

He's hung up on the tourist part. Damn tourists ruining the safaris for the natives!

more MTK collections. I think I got like 15Mish this time? Anyways I've finally got 99 ranged banked now, entirely from MTK, herb boxes, and varrock staffs :D I haven't been on RS in months tho so who knows when I'll actually get around to using them. These past few weeks I've only been doing MTK every few days and haven't been doing staffs or herb boxes because I'm that lazy :P In the future I guess I'll save up my profits for prayer or something since I can't really think of any other skill (or item) worth saving up money for

Yeah. Whenever I see someone's profile with their sexual orientation as sapiosexual I just roll my eyes and think, "wow what a douche" and move on to the next profile. Unless they're hot, of course, in which case I message them anyways because I'm trying to get laid. :lol:

At the risk of opening a can of worms... I saw on OKCupid that people can set their sexual orientation to "sapiosexual." I looked it up and apparently it means you're sexually attracted to intelligence. Really? Is this actually a thing? Were there sapiosexuals sitting next to me in college lectures getting boners and jizzing their pants whenever the professor discusses the next PowerPoint slide? Are there people jacking off to TED Talks instead of porn?

That's not entirely true, it's just much more difficult for them than it was for their grandparents. Correct. And if there's anyone out there who can create a system for people to follow in order to consistently and reliably achieve what their grandparents have, then that person will become very rich :P After all, I think most people would prefer that over BD's lifestyle

I was just using your number of 50M. Like I said, anyone who wants what BD has can get it by simply emulating his behavior. The same thing cannot be said for those who want what their grandparents have, for example.

AFAIK it's pretty much a 100% success rate from those who choose to follow his system. Those who cannot make his system work are those who willingly choose to violate certain principles within his system. In other words it's their fault it doesn't work, but they could make it work if they chose to; the system itself works. Assuming those 50,000,000 men share the same goals as BD (which is to have frequent sex and loving relationships with beautiful women with minimal drama), then there's no reason why his system wouldn't work for the vast majority of them. The reason why 50,000,000 men across the world are generally unhappily single or unhappily married or cheating is because they're doing things wrong. They don't have a system to follow, or they do have a system to follow but the system just doesn't work. One of BD's core arguments is that long-term monogamy as a system doesn't work for the vast majority of the population. The system works for all socioeconomic classes, however some people have to put in more initial effort to make it work than others. For example, if your method of meeting women is online dating and you're unattractive, you're either going to have to dedicate a few months to cleaning up your looks or you're just going to have to message many more women than a good-looking person would need to in order to achieve the same results.

Yes that's correct, but that logic basically concludes "nobody's right about anything and women as a whole are a complete enigma because we haven't had any large peer-reviewed studies to examine this phenomena." However that's a silly conclusion to draw since BD's systems wouldn't be proven to work for thousands of guys across the western world in such a consistent and replicable manner if that were the case. As I've said before, if anyone can develop a proven repeatable system that can make things such as monogamy "work" for the majority of the population, then I'm all ears. But so far nobody has been able to develop such a thing, which basically suggests that BD's observations are correct and those whose experiences tell otherwise are the case studies.

on the terms it looks like I was right on the money then. As far as her behavior you should check out assortment theory. Which basically says like attracts like. That she gets men who are insecure and territorial as a direct result of her not being willing to express her intentions either. That if she is 100% upfront about everything in that article those types of insecure men won't want to be around her making the only men interested in her the independent men (which is what she wants). Or another analogy, girls who refuse to shave and are vocal about the fact that they will not shave naturally assort men who don't mind hairy women. Like attracts like. Pretty much. Also, this is BD making the article: looks for specific dating habit some women have -> finds anecdote of woman with dating habits he's looking for -> empyrical evidence that this is how women act! What experiences and/or statistics of yours suggest that his conclusions aren't valid?

I think BD's point was that she needs to be more honest or else she's going to rip their hearts out and feel guilty in the long run. Her point is that being honest doesn't work since apparently the men she dates don't want her to see other guys because they're too insecure and/or territorial. The terms they use are from here

What combat should I be for NMZ? 70 att/str/def

Men in general are just as bad at women across the board on many of these things, yeah. He's stated multiple times in the past about how most relationship problems are the man's fault. But in this specific instance, BD isn't hypocritical since unlike the woman in the post, he doesn't lead his partners on. They pretty much know what they're getting themselves into from the start. He also never lies to his partners, unlike the woman in this post. With that said, however, I empathize with the woman in the post since like she said, non-needy men are extremely hard to come by. Most men want to lock down their woman into monogamy as soon as they get the opportunity.

I had to Google "OWTTE" and "shambolic" while reading your post lol Good job dude! :D

Haha yeah those are excuses :P No worries tho we've all been there before. In the future, if you're sitting awkwardly at Starbucks there's nothing wrong with saying "hey let's go sit over here instead" or if you don't want to move, "hey give me your hand for a second." Shoot her a text in a day or two anyways though and see if you can hook up w/ her before she goes back to LA. But if you didn't touch her at all during the first date (not counting the hugs) then you might be friendzoned :P

Yeah but those are "only" about 100k profit for 5 minutes worth of effort.

I'll save you some effort and money: 1. Invest your money into the miscellania minigame. Keep approval at 100% daily 2. Do AFK NMZ while you sleep, and then collect herb boxes daily. 3. Do Varrock diaries and collect battlestaffs every day. That'll get you about ~450k profit per day, with ~2 minutes worth of effort, for a total of ~13.5M/hr playtime. That's how I've been making my money for the past year, at least. Spending my free time making money on RS via Zulrah is a massive waste of time when I make so much money via the passive activities I listed. I've probably made around 100M just from getting on RS for 2 minutes a day for the past couple of years. Meanwhile people spend hundreds of hours on RS to earn the same amount of money while I'm doing stuff IRL :D

I agree that America is the best at everything

I'm inclined to believe the latter. Been in a new town for one week and I have a Tinder date saturday morning. She was pushing for it a lot more than me so I'm excited to see how this goes, pretty cute too. Nice. You could probably get a lot of dates by playing up the "new in town" thing

Today I learned that restaurant waitresses will often eat their patrons' leftovers after they've paid and left. Or maybe tonight's Tinder date was just a voracious weirdo.

The first girl rejected my offer to meet up, so I unmatched her and copy/pasted my offer to her friend. :twisted: And now we play the waiting game... (And by "play the waiting game," I mean see how long it takes for her to unmatch me :P)

This is exciting :lol:

Prayer pots are mandatory for chinning in osrs >_>
