Didn't you get the memo? Guys who have to ask advice on girls are losers.

So I guess every guy is born knowing how to deal with women? I guess I'm a loser since I'm happily married and still asked other guys for advice regarding women before I got married.

wtf is up with the cheap shot "pimple pinchers".... someone is insecure
What's that got to do with being insecure? Judging from the closed-minded attitudes and the obvious social ineptitude of the majority of ATOT's population as referenced by the sheer proliferation of YAGTs and their ilk, I made the generalization that these people who insist on taking "cheap shots" at others for their post count are acne-ridden, antisocial computer geeks. A preemptive, defensive strike if you will. If you're offended, then you're probably one of them. ;)
you judge people that knock you for 12000 posts on a forum. the fact you had a "prememtive defense" screams insecurity so basically what you are saying its ok for you to judge people on this forum, but you dont want to be judged becasue of your 10000+ post count? makes sense
Because people who feel they have to knock on me for my post count are obviously insecure with SOMETHING because it ALWAYS happens when I point out that someone here has no life. Like I said, I'm not insecure, I'm calling them out for what they are. And you obviously have insecurity issues sicne you decided to turn this into an argument. :) Oh, and learn to spell.

So you point out other people don't have a life, and then get angry when people do the same to you? Makes sense.

I would have to say he does a premptive attack, because he DOES have a life. I believe he has a girlfriend, lots of friends, a nice job, and a college degree... soo...

you need to stop sucking his dick

Last person who random IMed me (wow ... that doesn't sound very nice) turned out to be a great person. Later I found out she had gone out with a friend of mine.

I say: who cares ... just don't take it too seriously (as you obviously did).

How about you go fvck yourself you stupid piece of sh!t. I don't even know the guy, but you are attacking him because you are a worthless pile of insect infested sh!t. Go fvck yourself and then write a book about it. Then we all might know what it is like living with your head up your own ass. I guess you are such a c0cksucker yourself, that you can't handle someone proving you wrong. Go kill yourself. Bitch.

simply put there are some sick fvcks out there who knows she might thought you might have been. Don't be surprised...
 

"i tried to make friend with a girl and i end up getting blocked.... she said, 'u know its not good to IM strangers..' MAN~ AM I TOO LAME OR WUT?.... ahhh.. what should i do??...

is it not good to IM strangers? or its because i dont know how to be cool....."


Are you sure that wasn't me? I have a rule of "never talk to strangers", particularly on the 'net.

Really though, it sounds like she just found you boring or weird. If her rule were not to talk to strangers and it were a rigid rule, she wouldn't even spend anytime with you before blocking you. So although that may be her rule, she makes exceptions . . . it sounds. Unfortunately you didn't cut it for an exception.

I might make an exception if someone truly accidentally ran into me. If, however, it were this childish or stupid random finding of someone, then I would ignore the message. I wouldn't even write back at all. It isn't an issue for me really though 'cuz I don't even IM. IM was for the old days when I was still childish myself and just wanted to have fun talking crap with fellow teenagers. . . .

lol reading this thread was quite an experience...

not every computer geek has pimples, I always thought acne was a stage went through by every teenager. Some go through it longer then others, some even get it when their adults, but I don't recall it having anything to do with being on a computer.

you can have a life and still post on ATOT, I can spend 2 hours a day on ATOT and still have a life, i'm awake more then 16 hours a day, 2 hours on ATOT gives me 14 more to do stuff, when I'm out with friends, unless it was preplanned, the most I'd be with them in a given day is probably 4-6 hours.

millions of guys don't have girlfriends, and out of the ones who do eventually marry, don't 50%+ get divorced anyways? As fun as relationships are, it's something that defies logic.

my 2 cents

Unless you have a good reason for IM-ing me (for example you are the banker of a former Nigerian dictator and want to give me millions of dollars!) you will be ignored if you IM me. If you continue doing so I'll block you, and if I'm in a bad mood report you with the abuse address of said service.

Someone is a little bit insecure. Rest assured I've already gotten more play in 17 years than you will in all of yours.
