Nah, I'm English and I like monty python, but not benny hill. But sophistication? Bollocks to that. Monty Python films are not funny because they're 'sophisticated' and because the uncultured plebs can't understand them, they're funny because they're well written. I very much doubt that they were made so the intelligent overlords could worship them and look down on the people who didn't like them. For fucks sake, if someone doesn't like them they just don't, it's not because you're more intelligent than them.
Why can't people just see the films as a source of enjoyment rather than a weapon to put people down who don't agree with you?
I used to be only able to stare at it for a few seconds at a time, but after a few weeks of practicing every day I can now stare at it indefinitely with no pain or discomfort.
What a load of rubbish, we use imperial almost exclusively in England. We use feet/inches for height, stones/pounds for weight, feet for length, yards and miles for distance, and pints and gallons for capacity.
You've just described exactly what's wrong with X's fonts. "Read the Font Deuglification HOWTO"... why the hell should you even need a HOWTO just to make the fonts look right? And even if you do use the same TT fonts, they are rendered horribly. On Windows, I just put the fonts in c:\windows\fonts, and they're instantly accessible, well-rendered and anti-aliased, everywhere. No messing with source code, no patches, no obscure configurations, it just works.
X is seriously fucked up, it either needs completely overhauling, or replacing.
Exactly. When you can get a decent console at home, why go to an arcade and pay £1 for 30 seconds worth of play? Arcades are a rip-off, for the price of 3 hours play in an arcade you can get a full console and a handful of games.
Yeah, a country with the highest obesity levels in the world, and you want them to cut money from sports. What an amazing fucking idea. What a better way to cut down on youth obesity than having them all sitting on their arses playing Solitaire and downloading porn on expensive fucking laptops.
I *was* a socially inept loser before I started getting a lot of women. What happened? I started to beomce confident in who I was. I stopped worrying about rejection.
you're proving my point. You haven't explained how you stopped becoming a socially inept loser and how you became confident and successful. You may as well go to a weight-loss discussion and say "Well, I was fat once, then I lost weight, so I don't see how you all have problems with it".
No, that's bullshit. That site is great. It tells you how to get laid quickly and often with whatever women you want. The main problem with it is that it shatters people's illusions about what they currently believe. For instance, if you want to succeed with it, you'll have to drop the idealistic bullshit beliefs that women are innocent, delicate creatures who like caring, sensitive men who fawn over them and buy them flowers.
Also, it means you have to actually be prepared to go and talk to women you've never met, out of the blue. That scares a lot of men off.
If you want a long, drawn-out romantic relationship with a women where you might get a whiff of her snatch after 6 months of present-buying and supplication, or you want to stand about and hope a woman seduces you every few years or so (i.e. you get 'lucky' ever so often), or you want to die a sad loser who was too scared to take control of his own life, then there's nothing for you here.
However, if you want to turn yourself from a shag-less loser into someone who can shag any woman, anywhere. (And before someone comes in to say that you'll only be able to get sluts, that's bullshit. Any woman can be seduced by these methods, intelligent, decent, attractive women. All women like sex, all women like being seduced.)
If you're a complete seduction newbie, I'd recomment reading this: http://fastseduction.com/guide/. It tells you the basics of getting laid, including the following main ideas:
Have balls of steel. When you see an attractive women, approach her, immediately. Don't sit there and drool over her for months in the hope that one day she'll realise what a caring, sensitive intellingent bloke you are and fall into your arms. If you see a woman you want, and you don't have the balls to even talk to her, you don't deserve her, and you won't get her.
Don't listen to what women say: watch what they do. Women say what they're supposed to say, not what they want. They say that you're such a nice bloke, but she doesn't want you, and she goes off to shag some bastard who treats her like shit. Actions speak, words are meaningless.
Don't be desperate, don't fawn over her. Don't buy her things every day, and do everything she says. Make yourself unavailable, make her think you've got more exciting things to do than be with her, or even better, make her think you've got more exciting women. Success breeds success, the more women you shag, the more other women want you. If other women have shagged you, you're pre-approved to her.
It's not what's on the inside that counts, it's what's on the outside. You may be a decent bloke who's good in bed etc, but if all you do is stand about feeling sorry for yourself, the women won't know that, they'll just think you're a loser. Sure, if you're fat and ugly, you could blame your lack of success on your lucks, and you could comfort yourself with the thought that your failure is due to women being shallow, but that won't get you results. If you're good in bed, if you think you can satisfy them in ways few other men can, make them know it.
Don't be ashamed of your desires and your needs. When women sleep with bastard men, it's not because they're stupid, it's because they're not scared of their sexuality, they don't blush and hide away when talking about sex, as if it were bad mannered. Don't apologise for being a sexual being. So-called 'nice guys' turn off their sexuality, and come accross as dull and asexual. Good for a friend, but not for a fuck.
Don't be their friend. Women don't fuck their friends.
Don't be scared of failure. When you try it on with a women and fail, don't go and hide in your basement for 5 years in disgrace, go and find another women. Eventually, you will lose the fear of rejection (which is what holds most men back), and you will become successful.
Of course, most of this is just basic common sense and psychology, but this site puts it into words. The hardest parts are a) Having the balls, b) Shattering your illusions.
So instead of sitting behind your computer whining on a Friday night, go out. Approach a hundred women, get rejected a hundred times, and enjoy it. Go back and do it the next night. Don't be the loser who stands in the corner all shy, hoping a woman will come to him. Be the man who goes and talks to the women, who seduces them. Be the man who has whichever women he wants lying naked on his bed. It's not too late, you CAN change. Do it.
And yes, i had dates in high school, and in college. I really don't see how you people can "not get dates" or why everyone obsesses over this whole thing, like it's a sociatal curse.
Of course you don't understand, you've never been in that situation, the way a fat person can't understand anorexics. It has never occured to you that other people might not actually be as attractive or as socially skilled as you, it has never occurred to you that other people might not have the great success with women you have.
You said yourself, you've been laid hundreds of times, do you know why you've been so successful? No, you don't, and so you've no idea why anyone else wouldn't be so successful. Well, I have some news, not everyone is an incredible pimp who can lay hundreds of women, even in high school, so fuck off rubbing it into our faces as if we're a load of pathetic fucking losers because we're not as skilled as you are. Just fuck off.
No, alt.seduction.fast is dead. It used to be good, many years ago. Now it's just full of trolls, especially Ray Gordon.
Now all the regulars post at http://fastseduction.com/, a site which I recommend visiting. The difference with that site is that it tells you what actually works in practice with women, rather than what should work, or what people want to work. A lot of places will feed you a load of idealistic bullshit such as that being sensitive and caring will get you laid. The real story's here..
Would be a voting system whereby you list the candidates in order in which you support them, so if the candidate you vote for comes second, your second vote would still go towards the your second favourite candidate. I believe there is a system like this in Ireland and Australia.
Yeah, such 'assholes' for not wanting to go to a whole load of trouble and effort just to get something that will taste exactly the same. What exactly is your problem with this? There is only a good side: You get coffee that tastes as good as hand-ground stuff for a fraction of the price.
This could be just the thing I need to start smoking. I've always wanted to smoke, but I am easily addicted to chemicals, so I was wary of becoming addicted to the nicotine. But with this new invention, I could smoke without becoming chemically addicted to it. It's the best of both worlds. I only hope they're really cheap so I can afford to buy lots of them.
What, your front room doesn't have any chairs? That's odd, most have comfy sofas and armchairs, better than any irritating office chair. And I don't know of anyone who doesn't have a telly much bigger than their computer monitor. I'd rather sit in a comfy front room on my comfy sofa with the log fire on in front of the big telly than sit hunched round a desk in a mingy computer room.
And a decent game-playing computer for $400? Pull the other one, you'd be lucky to get the processor and the RAM for that, then you have the cost of a decent graphics card and a decent sound card and all the other crap you need just to be able to play a fucking game.
Personally, I'd rather pay a couple of hundred quid, then not have to bother about reading specs, over-clocking processors, installing games before playing them, entering serial numbers, getting the right drivers etc.
Face it, PCs are a hassle for gaming. And how many people can you fit around a computer for multiplayer games? No, sorry, connecting over an expensive, laggy link to play a tired FPS or RPG against a load of 12-year old illiterate AOL script-kiddies does not compare to sitting around the big telly with your mates.
No, there's nothing you can do. Face it, he's incredibly desperate, probably never got laid before, and here is a girl in front of him. Of course he's going to act differently. There's nothing you can do other than hope he gets laid or something.
Personally, if I was sat near a girl, I'd spend all my time building up images of her in my mind to recall later when I'm masturbating. That's the closest I'm ever going to be to getting laid.
No, not a compliment, just a statement of fact. You can't be attractive to men, and then complain when they take a keen interest in you, especially when you're amongst men who generally don't have much experience with women, if any. You can't take a burger to a starving person and then complain when he tries to eat it.
Whilst Futurama is funny in parts, the fact is that the characters are completely dull and uninteresting. Whereas in the Simpsons, even rarely-seen marginal characters are interesting and amusing, Futurama's main characters are bland and lifeless. The only two decent characters are Bender and Zapp Brannigan. The rest, including the other main characters, are not in the slightest bit interesting to watch.

You mean the modem has to breath to?
I used to be only able to stare at it for a few seconds at a time, but after a few weeks of practicing every day I can now stare at it indefinitely with no pain or discomfort.
It doesn't matter, it's only a demo, the data can just go to /dev/null. The clueless knob-heads viewing the demo won't know any different.
What a load of rubbish, we use imperial almost exclusively in England. We use feet/inches for height, stones/pounds for weight, feet for length, yards and miles for distance, and pints and gallons for capacity.
Another few hundred of these stories, and you might come accross one which is actually funny!
You've just described exactly what's wrong with X's fonts. "Read the Font Deuglification HOWTO"... why the hell should you even need a HOWTO just to make the fonts look right? And even if you do use the same TT fonts, they are rendered horribly. On Windows, I just put the fonts in c:\windows\fonts, and they're instantly accessible, well-rendered and anti-aliased, everywhere. No messing with source code, no patches, no obscure configurations, it just works.
X is seriously fucked up, it either needs completely overhauling, or replacing.

Martyn S hit the nail on the head. When you say:

Wow, that gets funnier every time you say it!
By Friday, I should be literally pissing my pants as I read!

You mean there are actually people who pronounce it 'jigabyte'???????????
No, there's nothing you can do. Face it, he's incredibly desperate, probably never got laid before, and here is a girl in front of him. Of course he's going to act differently. There's nothing you can do other than hope he gets laid or something.

Well, if you ask me, if women are being stalked it's their own fault for being so damn sexy!
I don't agree at all.
