Sorry about the thread hijack, notfred. 🙁 I won't post again in your thread.

astrocase suggesting you do that, then posting a bit later that he wished his ex would call him so he could exact this revenge on her was really disturbing to me.

Because she knows he'll jump at the chance to buy her dinner, listen to her sob story while being the nice guy, and give her the ego boost she wants. Then she'll find another asshole to screw and leave notfred with nothing.

Jerks get laid. nice guys sit online and whine about being alone. Choose which you prefer.
 
The debate of "nice guys vs. jerks" has been raging for quite a long time. The nature of being a "nice guy", however, is commonly misunderstood. It is believed that being polite, considerate, friendly, tender, romantic, etc. is what being a "nice guy" is all about and thus those qualities should be avoided, as it is the "jerk", the rude, the inconsiderate, the impolite, the rough guy who always gets the girl while the "nice guy" is waiting outside in the pouring rain with flowers in his hand.

It doesn't mean that women prefer rude over polite, inconsiderate over considerate, etc. It all becomes clear when we look at a very important issue often overlooked when trying to define what makes the "jerks" beat the "nice guys" when it comes to getting the girls. It is sexuality - the "jerks" are not afraid to show that they are sexual beings, while the "nice guys" hide their sexuality as a part of their agenda of being friendly, polite, and courteous towards women.

Peta, Clifford: "It dawned on me as it has, that the androgyny is key. Women fall for bastards because they don't turn off the sexuality.. "nice" guys think women will be terrified of their sexuality, so they turn it off and all they get is women responding to their androgyny [sending all nice guys to Let's Just Be Friend-land]"

source - a.s.f

personally, i tend to agree with this.
 
I was going to offer some advise but it's so pathetic that you're going to go running to the girl who dumped you, for the guy that just dumped her, that I am sick to my stomach and can't.

but then permit the use of the most extreme offensive language possible, as long as a V is substituted for a U ?

Do people understand that civility serves a useful purpose, it's not just a matter of taste ?

if it was really intended to policed that heavily, then i guarantee ATOT would lose a good portion of it's populace.

most of us are here mostly because we're free to express ourselves (for the most part) in a manner we feel befitting specific circumstances. sure, we could censor ourselves to an extreme degree and forbid any type of name-calling/slang/not PO jargon, but you can be damn sure this place wouldn't have nearly the flavor and variety it has now.

Are there other, less offensive ways to express ourselves? Of course. But for what, and to cater to whom?

Welcome to the Internet. The home of child pornography, pedophiles galore, and obscenity and degradation your mind can't begin to conceive. Offensive language? Don't make me fVcking laugh.


My question was more about the apparent hypocrisy of banning words, but not really, maybe it makes sense to someone, so explain it to me ?

 
Don't do it man... really don't do it. I feel like the guy at the movie when the monster is hiding behind the door, and the stupid blonde wants to back to save the stupid puppy...

DONT DO IT!! JUST RUN AWAY!!! GET IN THE CAR AND GO!!!! DONT YOU OPEN THAT DOOR!!! THE PUPPY IS ALREADY DEAD!!!! RUN DAMNITT RUN!!!!!!!

Jesus... my ex just called me. She called me crying to tell me her new boyfriend broke up with her and she needed someone to talk to.

Now we're going to get something to eat after she gets off work.

God dammit, why did I answer the phone?

for god's sakes why didn't you just hand her 50 cents and tell her to call somebody who cares ?

Wow if you get your panties up in a bunch over V's replacing U's then I'd hate to see what would piss you off as a roomate.

That sounds like premeditated rape/sexual assault to me.


That sounds like you're a twit. If you can't tell the difference between rough sex and rape then you're an idiot.

If you can't tell that intentionally getting someone drunk in order to have rough sex with her for the purpose of revenge isn't considered 'date rape', then you're an idiot.

Edit: And when or if she goes to the doctor/ER to have the vaginal/anal injuries that you intentionally gave her examined and documented, you'd better hire a lawyer.


You're crazy. Totally nuts. Where did I say I was going to force her to do anything???? Either you have very little experience with women or you're just trolling. Don't you drink? Have you ever slept with a women who has been drinking?

Date rape involves having sex with someone against their will who says "No".

Getting drunk and having rough sex is not "date rape".
 
Wait a minute here folks... we're missing something fundamental.

In six years, dude must have taken some pics.

Come on now, give'em up

Gotta love that about the USA. A woman intentionally gets drunk, intentionally has sex with a man while drunk, and then can charge him for rape when she sobers up in the morning.

Hear that sound? It's the last gasp of personal responsibility dying.

Don't recall astrocase mentioning whether or not the woman would be intentionally having sex with him after he 'got her really drunk.' The fact is, it is a premeditated act, with the intention of causing physical harm for the purpose of revenge. How exactly is this different from other acts of premeditated assault? Do you think she would have sex with him if he told her "I want revenge on you for breaking up with me, so I'd like to have sex with you while you're drunk, hard enough to tear you up"?

The only way I'd agree it was assualt is if she told him to stop because it was hurting and he refused to stop. Otherwise, she CHOSE to drink with him and CHOSE to have sex with him.

A sensible voice while I was gone. Thank you.

she's cute. but i have ethics, you'll have to ask op for them.
 
OP - I've been That Guy. You know, the one you're being asked to be? That's a sucky place to be. If this girl was in your life for 6 years, then jumped ship to hook up with Johnny the Pool Boy or whatever... and doesn't really have a constructive-for-you-both place in her life for you... and then when that romance blows up she wants to come cry on your shoulder, you are being used. Plain and simple. You have to decide the role she can play in your life, but I'd ask if you think this will really help you out? I mean, you could hit yourself in the hand with a hammer. Some people may want you to -- but is it a good idea?

Mind you, if you aren't going to be the comforting chump... I mean, old friend to help put her back on her feet, then you'll probably get some verbal abuse for it. Probably the words "cold-hearted" or "bastard" will come up. Bonus points if some of the more hurtful points of your breakup are re-dredged and thrown in your face. But you have to watch out for your own emotional well-being. Apparently she wasn't so interested in your emotions when she bailed on you; so can you come up with a real reason why you should be overly concerned about picking up the pieces for her when her Next Guy After You didn't work out?

Good luck on whatever you choose, though.
 
what kind of breakup did you have..did she chaet on you with this guy..did you get home one day and all her stuff along with her was gone?

seriously unless you are going into this with no emotions and just trying to get into her pants and takign advantage of the situation then leave well enough alone....

but from your posts it looks like you have decided to be the chump....and that is just plain sad.....

are you kidding me? talk? let her do all the talking, yea thats right, i'm talking about a BJ.
Don't waste time with your ex, is a lesson I just recently learned. Even if it is just for sex, ultimately you have to face the music and it isn't as easy to have them forget about you.

DON"T BE AN IDIOT, DONT SEE THE EX

nuff said.

danny~!
