  4. Re:Three things. on Party Ideas For Math Nerds? · · Score: 1

    Women as well as men don't choose who they are attracted to. A women can't be interested in a certain kind of person just because she is intelligent. Becuase you have read up on the subject im sure you are familiar with how bad supplicating to a woman can be. Sure you might get a relationship out of it but often it will be an unequal relationship. If you supplicate from the beginning a women may unknowingly grow to control you. This does not mean that men should be seizing the power when they can. It means people need to enter relationships as equals. Anything else is bound for disaster.

    As for hosting a good party. Make sure that you have more food than people will consume. It's important to make a display of wealth at social gatherings.

    The only people that flaunt their wealth are those that are not truly wealthy. Women pick this up really fast. If you try and play the part of "big spender" it will come off as cheezy to them. A rich guy doesn't have to prove he is rich because it is who he is.

    This also applies to being an atractive man. An attractive man does not need to impress a women to make her think he is attractive. He should be able to turn her on simply by doing his own thing that he has been doing. That is what a women truly wants. A guy who is self confident and not out to impress her, it speaks to the woman that you are someone who knows what they are doing. This is a universally attractive trait in men.

    David DeAngelo is pretty good but there is so much info out there for dating tips.

    Absolutely though please go study dating like you study in school. It is common knowledge that you can never understand the opposite sex but it is so wrong wrong wrong! Study women like you study math and you will finally get what you want.

    And take a tip from someone who HAS done the studying. Helping her throw a party wont impress her. It will only make her less attracted to you romantically.

    You dont have to sexually abuse a child to create child porn. You can use computer graphics to simulate child porn but it is still illegal to possess "fake" child porn. So where exactly is the line in child pornography? Simply enjoying it is illegal enough. Enjoying killing or raping however is not illegal. There is plenty of "simulated" rape porn out there that is technically legal but the Bush administration has been pursuing declaring it "obscenity" which would make it illegal.

    United States Code > TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 110 > 2256

    (8) "child pornography" means any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where--
    (A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
    (B) such visual depiction is a digital image, computer image, or computer-generated image that is, or is indistinguishable from, that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
    (C) such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

    I no longer use my paypal account. After getting burned bad by paypal i was done. My paypal account was linked to my ebay account. My paypal account was emptied and left with a negative balance. Had i used ebay again paypal would have just took all the money. Remember people they are not a bank. They are just some people holding onto your money. How would you trust someone you dont know to hold your money?

    Maybe you think my story is isolated but read online. Paypal routinely freezes peoples accounts only to never let them have their money.

    I'm sorry, but no matter how you try to rationalize it, there's nothing positive or honorable about being sneaky and underhanded. It's a vile way to act, for anyone.

    You and me grew up learning this becuase we are men. Even women are told its wrong, but they do it anyway. I believe that whether it is nature or nurture something has caused women to be better at being sneaky and underhanded. I dont know why it happened but it seems like it is an inescapable reality.

  15. Re:From the No Duh Dept. on Study Shows Males Commonly Mistake Sexual Intent · · Score: 1

    Women who don't engage in the sneaky and underhanded dealings of their peers are going to lose out. Women are less direct and men are more direct. If a women doesn't play the game she is going to lose. The same goes for a man. If a man chooses to be sneaky and underhanded and is found out, he will be shunned by his peers.

    You have to play the game whether you like it or not. My perspective as a man is that acting as a woman does would not be what i want to do but to each their own. I have been socially conditioned to act a certain way, that is not feminine. Women are in a sort of limbo as they are encouraged to go get power in order to gain equality but then are expected to gain power as a man would. It does not work out and the most effective and powerful females are the ones that are sneaky and underhanded without being ashamed about it. The most effective men and women are the ones that play their respective games the best.

    This case is egregious, unless she was living in cave then she had to know that something she believed she'd developed was being widely used.

    It's possible that if she would have warned everyone earlier that she had a patent they would have simply switch to different technology. I think this is why you are supposed to defend things like trademarks or lose them. You should not be able to sit around and make sure everyone relies on your technology before you go around suing everyone.
