I exclusively listen to simple plan

You should clarify the post we were arguing against then since apparently we misinterpreted it :P

185. I'll settle for that. :) Previous record was 83. Scumbag Brain: makes me feel good between points 84 and 199; makes me feel like shit for not hitting 200. GOD I'M SO BAD AT THIS GAME.

that's pretty gay. i'm judging you for being pretty gay.

Most people don't understand it. There's still a bunch of taboo surrounding casual sex and having sex with many different partners. If you watch any sitcom or romantic comedy film, the men who desire casual sex are always portrayed as empty, shallow, insecure, lonely, or afraid. Alpha characters are transformed into beta characters by the end of the movie/show, never the other way around. So it just reinforces the irrational belief that desiring casual sex is unhealthy, and that there's something wrong with you for pursuing it.

Desiring casual sex doesn't mean that you're lacking internal satisfaction.

It seems plainly ridiculous that RPG is constantly accused of seeking drama, but this kind of comment passes by with no objection.Because seeking drama and seeking casual sex aren't the same thing

You're not necessarily going to end up unhappy

That would be the case if there was a 50-50 marital success rate with no risks/penalties for being in the "unfortunate" 50%. Instead there's a 90% chance you'll be extremely unhappy and a 10% chance you'll be as happy as you could be in a risk-free poly arrangement. That's great if you're a zen monk who can live in the present moment and appreciate life whenever things seem bad. But you're not. You're just experiencing a pleasant "present moment" at the risk of experiencing an extremely unpleasant "present moment" in the future. I'm not saying all monogamous relationships are doomed-- I'm saying ALL relationships are doomed, including poly ones. If you want a relationship that never ends until you're dead, just wait till you're 60 years old to get married. :thumbup: IDK what this has to do with anything >_> You're confusing "possibility" with "probability." Just because something can happen (such as long-term monogamy working out for you), doesn't mean that it will happen. You're choosing an unhealthy way of making your life less boring.

But according to statistics, I passed the period where long distance relationships have the highest break up chances. In fact, at this point, relationships that are not long distance have higher chances of breaking up than those who are in long distance relationships. I really don't want to have to restate my case on here for the nth time... I'm not necessarily cautioning you about breakups. I'm cautioning you about unhappiness. Two close friends of mine are/were in long-distance relationships. One friend's now married and they live together... except he's unhappy because his marriage costs him his freedom. He works all day, then he isn't allowed to go hang out with his friends afterwards because his wife will give him drama for not hanging out with her instead. The other friend is still in a long-distance relationship, though for a year they lived together. He's the same friend I mentioned earlier whom hasn't had sex with his girlfriend for almost two years now because she gained so much weight and has become really [bleep]y. Just because a couple doesn't break up doesn't mean that their relationship is a success. Even if you two don't break up any time soon, there's still an extremely high chance that at least one of you will become unhappy for reasons that are beyond your control. Women are biologically wired to get bored of their monogamous partner past a certain point anyways.

I said you're going to remain in this state of mind for at least the next 6 months, and then 6 months later, you stop by again and confirm that you're still in this state of mind lol Like I said, these kinds of things are fine in the short-term but don't hold your breath for the long-term

I don't think you realize that you're proving my point >_>

He's not to my tastes. He's from Bangalore so he has that weird foreign look, wet slick hair and faux leather shoes. Creepy. And coming from me, that's awful. It got creepier when he replied to my rejection message. A quote from him, "Take your time, it can be days, weeks, months and years (but only for 2-3 years as I will be finishing my PhD) and let (anytime during this duration) me know if you feel/want to be my life partner. Till the time, I will wait for you as a good friend." I see him on Thursdays at badminton, it's going to be so weird. You should do him a favor and tell him how he's never going to get laid as long as he keeps acting like that. :thumbup:

...is he hot???

Meanwhile, on OKCupid... (using my standard copy and paste message after she responds to my opener) Me: What would you say your best quality is that doesn't have anything to do with your looks? I've got my own guesses but you'd probably know better than I would. :) Her: Lol this sounds like a job interview. I guess I'm good at putting others before me. It's kinda best and worst quality people tend to take advantage of it. Me: Lol it's not a job interview... ...describe a difficult experience you've had at work and how you handled it. I crack myself up. :lol:

Lots of valuable information in this thread http://www.pua-zone.com/showthread.php?11325-How-do-you-start-liking-yourself

That's probably normal. I feel the same way when I see a "classic" movie long after seeing every film that's referenced it or been influenced by it; so at that point, there's nothing original or interesting about it. I felt the same way about The Godfather, Airplane!, 2001: A Space Odyssey, etc

You just can't let this happen "naturally," can you? :P

Don't do the chocolates thing :P Next time you're talking to her (you DO talk to her, right?) just be like, "BTW you've got Facebook, right? Cool, I'll send you a friend request" then pull out your phone, add her, then arrange dating logistics through that at a later time if you want. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be-- if she really likes you, she'll make this very easy and simple for you. I'm assuming you're both in high school and work at a grocery store or something? In other words, I imagine dating a coworker won't be too big of a deal in the long run. Otherwise you should probably just add her on Facebook and hang out with her once you're no longer coworkers

A movement system like in LoL would work. And it would give agility a purpose in the form of movement speed and resistance to stuns/snares

I don't see the point of this if they are going to look different from the originals

Yeah OKC = OKCupid The difference between you guys and my friends IRL is, my friends IRL get to witness the stuff I just talk about on here, so there's less doubt and skepticism in their minds. They see me messaging different girls on my phone while we're out and stuff. Or they ask me what I've been up to lately and I tell them. I don't like to be the first person to bring these things up with them. I'd rather wait for them to confide in me about their relationship/dating/sex problems before I start putting these kinds of ideas in their minds.

Can't really blame them since it wouldn't surprise me at all if maxed (or "high level") players are the majority of the playerbase now.

Goooood..... Goooooooood......... (Emperor Palpatine voice)

This discussion is a good example of what happens when rationality and reality conflict >_>
