@shorty63136: Right, 'cause we all needed you to point out the settings issue. Just like we point out to rape victims how they shouldn't have gotten wasted at a party. Whether or not the behavior was risky, the point remains that the other person's response was creepy and inappropriate, and dragging the focus onto the…

In this case, "addiction" really is just an overzealous assessment of your lack of willingness to not be so self indulgent. I actually *was* a sex addict, and let me tell you, spending money on strippers and Internet porn and masturbating a lot is not sex addiction. Dumbass.

@shorty63136: You're missing the point. Women are more likely be targeted when they've been forthcoming with personal information, more so than men, and the implications can be more dangerous.

May I just say what a hack this guy is, too?

@Pandorasvoicebox: A more complete and accurate summary one could not make.

@sjrobb99: I choose to believe this actually happened.

So wait, he is so narcissistic that he thinks his ex, who has clearly moved on, is feeling guilty that she didn't say yes to him, on the day she's marrying the person she *did* say yes to? What a self absorbed shit. He deserves whatever criticism he gets.

@shrinking_lover: Did you have a problem with this article?

@NefariousCAT: My parents have a similar story. My mom was getting hit on in a bar and claimed that the lead guitarist that was playing on stage was her boyfriend so the guy would leave her alone. She hadn't even met my dad yet. My dad says he saw my mom and just knew he was supposed to marry her.

Couldn't help but share this one I heard yesterday. A guy I know, who is aware of how unapproachable I can be when men try to hit on me, just said simply and non confrontationally, "So, what's it gonna take to get to fuck you?" It made me laugh. The "get to" part was flattering, and the "what's it gonna take" amused…

@ClevelandRock: I was just joking, but you never know.

@Culebra: You make a good point. In my opinion the "you game to make dudes think you're cool" is the biggest girl gamer stereotype.

@ClevelandRock: Maybe she turns it on and practices cheerleading to it.

@Toby: Agreed. Putting any girl gamer on a pedestal makes a novelty of her gamer status and contributes to the stereotype that girls don't game.

@chang187: Right, they're the asshole.

Well, not necessarily a tomboy anyway.

@jay13x: How is everyone putting in such little time? I have almost eighty hours into my game and still haven't gone in and even beat the first ending. 'Course, I've been deliberately holding off so I can collect every single last unique weapon, but still.

@Jayshock89: While I appreciate your comment's insight, I would like to point out that your "kid running away from home dies of exhaustion in an Internet cafe" example is not a common occurence here, and while we do hear of cases like that overseas, it hasn't been too many. The cases I know of involved adults, and in…

Sigh. Why is it so hard to figure out? You can't stop people from wanting a mental escape from reality, no matter what that may be. All you can do is work to end the source of suffering, which in many cases is the social strife created by poverty.

@Poost: Death is a preferable alternative to Communism!
