Ok yes, though are we really going to get into a debate about whether it's easier to present the persona of interesting person vs actually becoming an interesting person? Some people aren't interesting... some people are better at lying than they are motivated to try new things and experience new shit.

If his resentment comes from his inability to create attraction with the women he finds attractive, then learning the skills to do so would help with that particular form of resentment. I'm not sure if ALL MRAs are motivated by rejection or lack of sex, but those who are could potentially be helped by learning about…

I agree. But certain people have different skill sets when it comes to reading different types of body-language, tone, etc.

I agree, but think you're over-simplifying.

Meh, there are different strategies for meeting people. Some people choose to foster comfort and seek relationships that may lead to sex.

I'd say anybody (of any gender) that makes you try to guess their emotions or believes you should be able to, isn't somebody worth putting the effort into learning to read.

Pretty much. They'd be much better off studying PUA material and such than sitting around a keyboard whining about women.

Does 'feminists protesting an MRA lecture' sound as hilariously stupid as 'MRAs protesting a feminist lecture' to anybody else? What an utterly pointless, pathetic exercise.

Douchebag is a bullshit term, just like slut is. People create their own criteria or definition for it (and even those seem to change on a case-by-case basis), and use it as a catch-all put-down for behavior or attitudes that are neither illegal nor immoral.

Ok? And?

True.

Offended? Not really. Perplexed and amused by the fact that somebody feels they have the power of telepathy to determine what anonymous people online are doing in their time away from the computer.

Pretty much. So long as they aren't actively harassing anybody, they're an annoyance that should be ignored.

You're jumping to conclusions. I don't 'use' anybody before dumping them.

I didn't say it was her fault. I just meant I'm not a mind reader. If she says yes to go along, either she's genuinely interested in going or she's not, but wants to be perceived as cool and fun.

Taking a woman to strip club makes me a piece of shit?

That's one of those food-trucks, right?

Well why did you comment? I was just letting you know, the strip club idea is soemthing I've investigated in the past.

Oh, definitely gonna keep that Mink place in mind.

LOL. I actually have taken girls to strip clubs.
