I read the first headline about a couple dozen or so people still wanting to camp out in a little park in NYC.
I hardly call that an uprising of merit.
And I'm hardly a 1%'er....I make a good living, but I'm not wealthy by any stretch...don't own a home yet.
working and saving for one, but not yet.
I, unlike many in recent years...am making sure I can save for a good down payment, on a home I can actually afford to buy, maintain and furnish.
I think we had one last Occupy guy taken from our park near our govt. buildings today...so, no, I don't have too much concern for world wide uprising and turmoil over this....
BTW, I find it awfully amusing to hear a bunch of guys who've never been attracted to a guy in their life talk about the manner in which women should be attracted to guys.
I whole heartedly agree.
They're not listening....things you are saying are what they NEED to listen to. They are not women...they don't think like women, and most women...will NOT tell you this stuff.
I learned...and learned to listen to other men, that have figured out what you're talking about.
Women like a guy to be assertive. Not necessarily a jerk. Although a jerk often has these traits too, a man doesn't necessarily have to be a jerk to also exude confidence...and be assertive.
Our society more and more...is raising our men to avoid or not show these traits. I've heard the term "pussification"...and while it sounds a bit derogatory, in many instances, if you think about it...it is a bit true.
The ideal man for most women..is not a guy with female characteristics....shy, demur....that is not in general what a woman looks for in a man.
I've found that approaching women as much as possible...builds my confidence. I no have no fear of being 'shot down'..dunno why I ever did in the past.
I approach women as often as I can...sometimes just as a casual comment passing in the grocery store, or walking across a room to a group of girls to ask the time, and start from there chatting with them...if I'm after one in particular, I work it to where I can grab her hand/arm...and pull her from the group so we can have more time alone, etc. I find the I approach, it seems to show confidence in myself right away...and women respond more and more to it.
I think I'm in the ballpark of what you've been posting on this thread....and guys aren't wanting to listen to what you say..and are reading the wrong things into what you're saying.
Of course the macho act is going to go down better in a club, but that's because the type of person that would be a match for a quieter guy like me and probably a lot of other Slashdotters just isn't that into clubbing. I don't mind clubbing if I'm drunk, but in general I'm just not interested in clubbing or even being drunk.
No...not just for bars.
And she's not talking some kind of freakish "macho" act.
But you DO need to exude confidence....in yourself, in your life. That is one of the #1 things women respond to. It isn't being a jerk, necessarily, although it often goes with someone that is a jerk.
Approach, approach, approach....yes, it is true, that often the BEST looking women..are alone because too many guys are scared to approach her. Approaching cold...show's confidence in yourself...
Honestly, I wish I'd known a lot of this stuff earlier in life....it actually should be taught to guys as young teens, like a health class. It sure would save a lot of anguish..and make things easier during those difficult teen years.
Meeting, dating and bedding women is NOT a black art.....it isn't that hard, just takes confidence in yourself and yes...a little practice being able to appears sociable and carry on a conversation.
You know, it is possible to date a girl without having sex with her.
Ok, I'll grant you it is possible.
The larger question is WHY?
Why on earth would you 'date' a woman if not for sex....if you're not nailing her, you are merely a friend. That is not dating.
Hey, nothing wrong with having some chicks as friends...they are often quite useful to find women to DATE (ie: more than friends, which is sexual).
But, there is no reason for dating if no sex. I don't think the 3rd date rule is written in stone, but shortly after that, if I'm not going be be nailing her, I'm moving on to the next one that will.
And its a big world, there is ALWAYS a 'next' one.
If you stick your eleventh finger into a woman without being prepared for the possibility of a kid coming out nine months later, I think you're kinda irresponsible.
I have no issues making eye contact and being bold and assertive in a bar. I can even talk in detail about the implementation of a hyper-drive and shield modulation and yet I have never been able to take a woman home!
I think you found your answer right in your statement.
1.You're going good on the eye contact, and assertive part.
2. Do not start talking to her about "hyper-drive and shield modulation".....
#2 is where you're losing it. You want to get her talking about HER...and you toss in some witty remarks, short stories...talk about things that make her think good thoughts...find out what she likes, pick up on those verbal cues, and use those to keep the conversation going...etc.
I've heard it said before...there has NEVER in the history of mankinds, been a woman who got home from a date or just met a guy, and complained that she got to talk too much about herself.
Seriously...step one is to learn that...women love to talk...use that to your advantage.
Your comparison is bad because in bars/clubs there are no other way to judge people but on looks and is a competitive environment to begin with
Err...isn't that pretty much ANY environment you are in (which should potentially be anywhere you are on the planet) when looking for a mate?
I mean, unless you are depending on meeting only through friends...well, the big world out there is a competitive environment, and if you are looking to not be single, you are always on the look...and pretty much anywhere the first and only thing you have to go on...is looks.
I don't care where I am..I've never had the opportunity to look across a room/store/pool/etc...spy a girl and think to myself, "God I gotta go over there and meet that girl, she has the BEST personality I've ever seen!!"
I dunno...where do you look for potential dates? I pretty much look for them 24/7...anytime I am outside of my house. Sure, bars are one venue, and not often the best (I have a bit of trouble hearing with all the ambient noise...but having booze there does make things easier, "conversation lubrication" so to speak)....but everywhere you go there are potential dates.
Hell, I play a game with myself...every day, no matter where I am, I have to go approach and speak to the most beautiful woman I see that day.
If later in the day, I see one even more beautiful than her, I have to approach her...etc.
It is a competition...much like everything else in life...you have to be aggressive it you want to get what you want.
Banned in California, but I still see a lot of drivers with that slab of plastic pressed to the side of their head as they go down the road. Fines not high enough? Insurance not high enough? Maybe when they put cameras on overpasses to photograph the offending drivers and mail them the tickets. (We already have cameras on intersections for red-light runners.)
If this is what you want in your own state...more power too you.
I just hope to hell they don't try legislating every area of my life where I live....
Thankfully for now..I can mod my car (exhaust and all) to my hearts delight....use radar detectors legally, and still smoke in bars/casinos.
Just hope all this is on a state level....and the Feds don't try (yet again) to blackmail the states into complying by withholding our tax monies we gave them.
1. Update Trapster about a cop and radar you just passed (not illegal to do)
2. Changing the station on Pandora or switching to a new album to play
Hmm...will it now be illegal for me to use my CB radio? I have a unit that is not handheld, but it isn't mounted so as to be easier to take from car to car as needed...so, is it now a 'portable' electronic device?
Look, we already have perfectly good laws on the books....if you're driving in an impared or reckless manner, they have the ability to pull you over for that.
If you're driving badly, it shouldn't matter what you're doing...and if you're driving ok...leave me the fuck alone.
An LLC requires multiple partners, so a solo man operation is still a no go. Need other people to comit
I don't think so...maybe it varies from state to state...but no corporation laws I've seen require you to be more the one person..?
I did a regular corp...and filed subchaper "S" status for it to do contracting under, and it is just me...perfectly legal.
I did the S route for extra employment tax savings, but it is about the same for LLC I do believe...at least that's how the lawyer explained it to me...
If a woman drops her stuff in front of a camera, then I believe it is fine to sexualise her at that moment. But the minute she steps out of that context -- well your brain should step out of that context too.
Err...well, we're men....on average we have a sexual thought about every 20 seconds or so. That's the way we're made.
If a man sees an attractive woman, he will have sexual thoughts about her...if he is a normal, average male.
Geez, if women knew what really went on in mens' brains...they'd all go running for the hills.
:)
Seriously...and there is NO bad time for a blowjob....and a blowjob is never a bad thing to want.
You wish. The fatties are outbreeding us all. They're leaving behind a legacy of Michelin-man jelly arms and early-onset diabetes.
Sad but true...man, it is getting harder and harder to find women that take care of themselves.
I know guys are guilty too, but I'm not looking to pick a guy up or sleep with them...I want a good looking woman with a good body.
No, not looking for one that is anorexic, but I do want one that is NOT 120lbs or more...some woman that is somewhat athletic. How about at least trying to get in shape like in the health magazines? I don't say you have to get there...but try and you'll be just fine in my eyes.
However, all I see these days..is muffin tops, and everything else sagging and bulging where it shouldn't.
Magazines giving girls ideal body shapes they can't attain? Gimme a break....these days, unless the magazine has someone the size of Rosie O'Donnel or larger...they must be bad and giving girls a bad body image.
Sheesh...how about just trying to get good enough shape to wear a bathing suit in public at the beach and not have people feel the need to laugh or avert their eyes?
Hey...did they ever hack these things to get cyanogen running on them?
I've been looking around and don't see much about it. I thought I'd read after the initial firesale, there was a lot of headway made to root and install it on these HP tablets, but not much is coming up with searches now...
Why not just install Apache, and expose the contents of your computer to the world directly, instead of pushing it to external servers?
If your ISP gives you grief about a server on your account (I hear that some do)....switch to a business account....it isn't that much more and you can run all the servers you want, no caps, no extra charges. Mines only about $69/mo with Cox Business cable.

Why would this become illegal? Working trapster isn't any more involved than doing Pandora, which you said would not be illegal.
Updating Trapster is just clicking a few buttons...you're not texting or talking to anyone....
What protests and demonstrations worldwide?
Are you talking about the "Occupy xyz" thing? It was interesting, but un-guided and seems to me to have pretty much fizzled out.
What other major movements are going on that I'm missing?

Normal civilians are prohibited from owning and using these devices ....?
Depends....is it worth losing so much money and jobs over, especially in this economic down time we have right now?
I very slightly cleaner air, worth it to you when you're citizens are living in a box under a bridge?
Also, pretend to be from Canada, they might not kidnap you quite as readily.
You also might not want to wear that crucifix...those peace loving muslims don't care much for other religious stuff in their towns.
