By any measure, Exxon Mobil’s performance last year was a blowout

When do you say....'enuf' ?

the only authority I need is my own taste and that of my friends.

I wasn't offering YOU my recipe so if you don't like the way I make it, then ignore it.

We all get your point now, okay?

Have a nice day!

On a side note, orgasm isnt related to the word orgy at all.

I may be wrong, but I was always certain "authentic" chili had neither ground beef or beans in it.

have met women that are the same, want an itch taken care of and then bye

For anybody concerned....do you think there should be laws against game players that trick you into sexual encounters and dress things up in deceit

So why do women date multiple men at once? Why can't you date one guy at a time?

what approaches should I use to initiate conversation with the other person?

Are MEN marketable after age 30?? How about 40?

Time once again picks a communist to be man of the year. Notice how the liberal media can not help but LOVE and Adore Commies. Castro, Putin, Gorbechev, Stalin, Marx, Lenin

I have had women write to me here and say they were intimidated by my intelligence. I never thought I would live to see a time when being smart was a bad trait.....

What's the solution here?

Where have all the True and Honest Guys Gone?

Gee Willikers Chrysostom! Aren't you L*I*T*E*R*A*T*E! Please regale us with more of your polysyllabic venting.

Just because something is purported to be “well known in the dating industry” it does not mean it is factual. I take umbrage to your rude proclamation that “WOMEN WHO SMOKE ARE FAR MORE PROMISCUOUS” and I am offended by this post.

HAHA! This is a really silly stat. A habit is just that. It has nothing to do with sexual promiscuity.

NOT FAIR!....and NOT TRUE!...and shame on you!!!

Needless to say, OP, you are stereotyping, even if it's with statistics (And most of us know that statistics can be rigged to say whatever you want them to say.)

And I do not believe that this study or any study is based on reality only skewed to get the answer the person doing the research is looking for.

You Sir are a big joke i am a smoker and was with the same man for 33 yrs and never once did i look at another guy

i don,t smoke but this sounds ridiculous!Where do ppl get these ideas from?

I don't really like the last grouping of data. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Drawing the conclusion that "women who smoke are more likely to cheat" from that data seems erroneous.

Promiscuous women are more likely to be smokers ". Does that sound any better

The only way it could be scientific fact is if they randomly picked thousands of smoking, anonymous women and surveyed them. Even so, there is a 3-4 % margin of error.

That's the dumbest statement I ever heard. It's akin to saying men who drink beer cant get an erection.

These numbers show a certain degree of correlation between two different factors... CORRELATION DOES NOT MEAN CAUSAL EVIDENCE

I am better that, I DESERVE to be cared for by a man

not that I ever would suggest you had done that

I don't know the statistics, but I do know that there are women in prison for having committed these crimes, although I suspect there are more men inside for the same thing. Whether that's due to the justice system(s) or under reporting of it by men is probably anyones' guess ....... I would be intelligent enough to base my "opinions " on having conducted some cursory research

(your attempt at sarcasm doesn't hide the real meaning)

I work with women (some smaller than you) that would chew you up and blow you out in small bubbles.

As for posting your address on an open forum ( if it's genuine)....how intelligent is that? I'd be looking over my shoulder if I were you.

I'm big enough to throw you a half a block.

I only hit one girl in my whole life.

I have a big pair, More than you could ever hope to have.

The Pay Dating Sites are a ripoff

people on site are hard to crack

There is the argument that age or length is not a determination of experience as you can do something for 15 years but it was one year of learning and 14yrs of repeating what you learned... You sound and appear to be one of those boys who was well sheltered by their parents and has only experienced life from a very sheltered perspective.

In other words.......The next time I meet a 5ft. 104 lb woman with anger issues....I'll make sure i give her your profile name.

I doubt that few, if any--including the most vehemently anti-male--are going to be impressed with your ("Boo hoo. Grow a pair.") retort,

you think a female abuser wouldn't have you arrested for that?

Especially when she runs to the cops and says he hits her all the time

you are unlikely to hear about it, because of the stigma that you will make those men feel

The question is, do we resolve such cases by following the rule of law, or do we continue to give men the privilege of going outside the law to "handle it" themselves?

If some punk smacked your daughter...

The charge? Kidnapping. You cannot legally transport a person even a foot without their consent.

Don Vito is not my idea of a role model

The law has changed out from under you, my friend. It's time for you to get real and stop living in your chauvanist's dreamland.

I suspect you'd be a lot more concerned about it if your partner smacked you over the head with a baseball bat as you slept.

What do you suggest they do? Take it and not say a word?

Part of me suspects the men ONLY keep quiet about being abused because they're a) humiliated and b) they know if they raise a hand to fight back or defend themselves, they'll be the one's carted off to jail.

With all the interests you list on your profile, you really should be capable of a more intelligent response than:
"Grow a pair"

You use a screen name of a martyred saint

I think that a lot of men are abused by their wives and girlfriends...What are your thoughts ?

I suppose I took your statement the wrong way, which is what started the back and forth. I apologized for that.[/quoted]
Accepted. I also, admittedly, opened up a can of worms that I really didn't have the inclination to fish through on this particular thread. There HAS been talk of using video games to do things like teach the counterintuitive basics of particle physics (since the systems these days have superb rendering) and that got me excited, but it's been a while since I've read any more development on that. Nonwithstanding, I still think our reading skill and attention that are collectively more endangered than our hand-eye coord. on the controllers.



I make 76% of what my public school counterparts in this district make. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, I make less than even the lowest teacher salary bracket in their survey. Living in the Northeast corridor doesn't help. Teaching's for suckers, IMHO. I stop sucking this June.



Try the fleshlight. I'll say no more on the issue.

Really... I seem to remember your opening statement went a little something like this... it's an oldie... but, a sh***.

Men don't. Overgrown boys do. Start picking better.

And by the way, I don't know why you find it fitting to try and make my username more ridiculous... it's already about as lame as it can get, so why don't you find more fertile soil to till.

But, it's all good... I'm sure in the game of life, you still win.

You probably make a lot more money than me

and have had a lot more sex (that's just about everybody, on both counts).

My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

My problem is you're a culture snob.
...
You have no idea how the brain works.
...
I think the media has done more harm to you, than it has to me.
...
Your teacher was an A-hole.... not good enough?
...
Whatever zork ripoff or tic-tac-to clone you tried your hand at, just doesn't count.

Most people are not going to invent the next wheel, or read 4 books a month, or paint a meaningful picture, or create a moving piece of music. Not everyone is living life to the max.

Video games are ...a great way to enjoy time with friends.

if you're going to be spouting numbers off like they are facts, you should probably at least attempt to get them right. There are around 300,000 books being published every year in the US alone

Would you call a epic play or piece of literature a vehicle for 'delusional desensitizing fantasies'?

That makes about as much sense as if someone were to say, 'you kids think that when you buy toilet paper, that you're on top of the world, because you can wipe your ass without getting your hands dirty. Well, you're not. The manufacturers are winning. YOU lose.'

Do you know what kind of work goes into producing a game?

What the hell, exactly, is your problem, sir?

you are demonizing something that simply wants to take its place amongst the possibilities to enjoy.

You and your ilk have lost sight of the shore...

may whatever god or sky computer you worship,

have mercy on your blighted soul.
