I don't see why your helping your competition by giving them pointers on how to meet women. Just seems like an ulterior motive of grand standing to look better yourself in a thread


*shrugs*

If that was what he was aiming for; he sure hit that one out of the park now didn't he.


I have a sneaking supicion that Woody is not too terribly concerned about any "competition"; if I may even say.

Ah, this is for the follow-up, part two of the rules, I think...the idea that approaching meeting people as a 'competition'...and how guys ought to realize that as you treat women as a prize to be won, you are more than likely to be thought of as a loser before you begin, but that's for another post and another time...

Generally speaking though, and thanks frrrosty and hac (and mike too)...nope. Ulterior motive was to provide a laugh or two.

Oh, shoot, there was another ulterior motive as well...sorry, totally forgot.

I wanted to use the phrase 'meat pole' in a post. Don't know why, but it just tickled my fancy, for reasons I can't explain...

Woodrow honey. Great posts. I suspect even your old arch-enemy (BVM) would be proud of you! He wouldn't agree, but he would be secretly proud (or at least envious). Can't wait for part 2, keep 'em coming!

"loser" oh heck no you didn't!!! lol now u made me open up my can of whoopass lol

If you have to call ANYONE for any reason a term like loser then its obviously something they did to strike a nerve with you. You made a post specifically directed toward MEN ONLY. If your so altruistic and you care SO much about people why is it that you did not include BOTH genders in your post? Why did you single out ONLY men.

I recieved an email form a women baring her anus to me? Would this type of person not qualify in your list? I'm not offended by anus shots but shocking to get that nonetheless. You specifically targeted men because its all too easy for you pick on a segment of the population that is known to send out stupidty over the internet. A truly altrusitic person would direct their post at BOTH genders if they so cared about women and wanted to help them. Your post was grand-standing and directly made to make yourself look better to the women because "I care". Well if you do care SO MUCH, then why not care for the guys that are equally receiving the same treatment by a women as they women are from men? I would have more respect for someone who doesn't single out my gender based on the segment of population thats already got a screw loose and had bad parenting.

Look, I'm not saying your post isnt beneficial, it is. But you belittle men at the expense of making yourself look better toward women. This is the core of my beef. Do you think as a guy we want to see MORE "hey look at all the stupid stuff men are doing, don't do this stuff, because I really really care about you guys" Give me a freaking break man!

I think their is enough anti-male bashing in our culture and an anti-male "men are pigs, men are stupid, etc" We don't need more of this thank you very much. Their was an article I saw on the Oprah Winfry website. "Healing the World, One man at a time". Give me a break, like were the only problem?

Its better a girl knows off the bat the kind of moron shes dealing with then to have it found out later when they meet in person. YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T. Let the don'ts fall on their face so a girl doesn't find out later when it can get dangerous for her. Their is a reason there is a block feature.

If a guy is that freaking stupid to send a girl the examples you described in your post then hes just been disqualified immediately for the dope he is. Or would it better he get advice on what works better, use that advice, have the girl meet him, then proceed to whip it out in front of her. Its much safer for her to find out over email the caliber of jerk he is then to deal with it in person! If she dislikes this she can block it and a moderator can ban the offender period.

It is survival of the fittest and life IS a competition. Whether you like it or not. You compete in your job, in sports, in LOVE and in many other areas as well. You can bury your head in the sand and pretend this is not so but it will NEVER change this fact.

LMAOROTF!!!

I don't think that this was directed at any one person dude.

And, lmao again...did you just say "OH NO ..you didn't"?

Did you do the hand wave thingie too!!?? BWAAHAHAHAAHA!! THAT JUST MADE MY DAY!!



A truly altrusitic person would direct their post at BOTH genders


If I am not mistaken, his post was made as a direct result from the several ladies who trust the guy dude. I get feedback like this stuff all the time!!


I would have more respect for someone who doesn't single out my gender based on the segment of population thats already got a screw loose and had bad parenting.


Whereas Woodrow MAY have come up roses with the ladies for his comments..whatever the intentinos may have been..THIS is probably not going to result in the same way for you.


But you belittle men


He belittles CERTAIN men. (I guess that you were one?) HECK DUDE; read MY ad!! I even failed one of these recommendations..ok..maybe two!!!


Do you think as a guy we want to see MORE "hey look at all the stupid stuff men are doing, don't do this stuff, because I really really care about you guys"


*shrugs* I accept advice.


Its better a girl knows off the bat the kind of moron shes dealing with then to have it found out later when they meet in person


on THAT one; I agree


recieved an email form a women baring her anus to me?


So; what were your thoughts? Did she warrant a reply?


It is survival of the fittest and life IS a competition


1. define "fittest"
2. I don't think you're winning this one dude.

Public humiliation probably should cross your mind.

Just thought I would say my piece.

lmao..."OH NO; YOU DIDN"T" (Really made my day)

Well, technically, no, I didn't...put your can away...:)

No nerve was struck...and yes, focussed on men because, by and large (as you may notice from the various ladies present) it happens. And I'm not trying to be altruistic, just having a laugh or two, so ease yourself off of that high horse...everything will be just fine.

I'll say this again...not trying to impress anyone, sweetcheeks, it's just a laugh. As an aside, I'm not doing this to belittle 'men'. I'm doing this to belittle 'morons'. Yes, it's a little like shooting fish in a barrel (subtle double entendre in relation to this site's name only slightly intended) but you just have to take a step back...and relax.

Oh, and men bashing? Come on...we've been the predominant and powerful figure in human society for eons and eons and now in the last few years a few ladies are taking a couple shots back at us and you've had enough? Get over it and while doing so find a slightly thicker skin.

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear about your outlook on life. My job isn't a competition, it's a career that I actually enjoy and do well for no other reason than because I can and I want to. Same with sports...I like to win, but I don't like to win at any cost. Love as a competition? I'd hate to think so, but again, this is more about how you see life rather than how life really is...

Now, go 'win' yourself a lady, big guy...the crowd waits in anticipation and the trophy needs plucking from high atop its pedestal.

On your mark...

Get set...

DATE!

I have done that PANDY!!! WHat am I on now; about strke 8 or 9!? lol.

That ^ is one of the responses I have used, though not often, when I have come across a very pretty female form who said absolutely nothing in their ad.

IT has garnered me replies.



The worst mail that could be sent to me is: all on it's own.

"Get over it and get a thicker skin": thicker skin has nothing to do with it when it comes to respect. You get what you allow. There is a reason so many laws don't allow you to discriminate against gender. Its a matter of fairness and respect for the person not thicker skin.

"Win at all costs": Now where did I mention at all costs? Your words not mine. Obviously you are mixing up "at all costs" with "competition". Look the word up before you misjudge. 2 synonyms for competition are struggle and contest. If everything in life was easy, it wouldn't have those elements and would not be worth it once you got it. From this comes appreciation and commitment. "at all costs" does not even fit that forumla.

You compete for women and they compete for you, where you choose to see this or not its very evident in nature. You mean to tell me a "hot" guy or girl isn't being competed for by many people of the opposite sex? How many girls wouldn't like a shot at Brad Pitt or a guy a shot at Pamalla Anderson. C'mon get a clue.

When you go for a job interview you are DIRECTLY competing for the job against other interviewees. No one enters the Olympics to say they are just here to have fun. They are there to win.

I love how you condesend in your posts because you don't have the ability to carry on a fair view.

I stand by my post because I am a free-thinker.

Oh, sheesh, big guy...seriously, I wasn't picking on you, lighten up...but given that you wish to get into the nitty gritty...

1. It's condescend.
2. My sense is that in your case, free thought might be more an indication of the inherent value of the thinking, rather than a flexibility in perspective.

Now, before you get your cans out again...just relax.

Oh, and thanks Pandy, I'll be over with application ASAP...:)

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WEINER

subject line.. "i feel sorry for you"
body copy... "you're pathetic..get a life"..

now fella's, i know some of you revert back to the playground when it comes to dealing with "crushes".. the old "i liked lil susy so i kicked her in the shin".. it doesn't work so much as we get older.. granted some women would respond to this, therefor a dialogue is created, it typically wont net you the response you're looking for...

well that or he just really thinks i'm pathetic in which case.. he can bite me :)

Not sure I fully understand that one, but from where I sit it doesn't look like you're being 'allowed' a whole lot.


I stand by my post because I am a free-thinker.


So let me see if I can get this one right? A free-thinker, open minded perhaps, 'stands' by his/her post because they are a free-thinker?

I'm just so fricking glad it's time, come on, my treat.
Don't feel threatened because you think some crud is going to read this, wise up and end up stealing your Those type of guys will never even read this, nor will they ever learn.

My my Woody what a hornet's nest you have created!

Passion I think you are taking things a bit too serious and well, that ego of yours must be delicate to get that upset over Woody's attempt at humor. What he posted in the first post is very much true of SOME men here on POF. Since you have taken such an offense to it all, I would have to ponder if you were one of those men Woody was describing. If I am wrong, my apologies, but from a women's perspective and not a man with an "ulterior" motive, your lack of sense of humor turned many women off today.
