Maybe wondering what jobs other ATers have --> attention whore. ETC ETC. What is it with all the women-bashing around here? And I notice it comes from the not-so-liked members. A few assholes ruin the fun.

If you can't see the parody in that I am poking fun at my gender and trying to lighten things up around here (because, you know, I'm sure we're all loving those YAGT, homework, and so-and-so is on some stupid show tonight threads) then kudos, for you are truly fvcktards.

What kind of guy can go around posting a new thread about hard their life is because they are having a hard choosing between the Oil-Free Sodium PCA moisturiser or the Oil Free Amino Acid Enriched facial moisturizer without being called an attention whore? As for Hot Deals you know as well as I do that it is against the rules over there to post an entire new thread to ask the community which deal you should go for. The reason for this is we don't want a bunch of attention whores (male or female) taking over the forum with questions about which deal to go for. New threads should only be new hot deals, and if you have a question you should post inside the existing thread. A number of people will be glad to help you choose between deals in a particular category. Trust me I am not a self-appointed mod in that area and I help people that do post their own thread for a single question, but if a long time user does it with full knowledge of the reasoning behind why we can't have that kind of wastage of space, then we can't help but consider them an attention whore.

Maybe you should consider posting on an issue that affects people other than yourself or about something interesting you saw today. Quite frankly nobody is interested in the choices your wardrobe presents you as much as nobody cares what choices my wardrobe presents me. You're certainly free to ask what jobs ATers have as nobody can accuse you of being an attention whore when the focus of your thread is not on you and only you. BTW, if you're going for parody - there's a skill to that sort of thing (I do think you did a good job with your sig in the parody department though).

skirt or pants?


Here is what guys have to go through...

Hair:
Yep, still there. (At least for now)

Top:
Wear from floor or throw in dryer first?

Bottom:
See shirt.

Footwear:
Same boots always wear (unless going running... then same shoes we always run in)

And you women think you have it rough. ;)

I have tried to simplify things though and would say I have succeded nicely. All my clothes are black so I can't even tell them apart and never ahve to worry about matching. And I don't run so that cuts the shoes to only one pair.

dang.. what guys have you been hanging out with that take that long to get ready? yeeeeeeesh!
