The idea of me being the one in control of one is not in the best interest of humanity.
When I was a kid, fifth grade, I went on a roller coaster for the first time; I was without an adult (complicated story).
Roller coasters are bad. I don’t know if this has to do with me being over 30 and having my vestibular whatsis all out of whack or what, but I took my kid on a little roller coaster at the zoo, like one for preschoolers, and they had to stop that thing and let me off. It was a slow day and we were the only people on…
I am a woman, highly intelligent, very hard working... I’m the employee who says to her boss, “No, it’s NOT okay that I was late. It’s the second time in a month, and while I appreciate that you want to let it slide because of how good of a job I do, please don’t let it slide again, promise me that the next time it…
you have to really really look the part
Weird, huh? These are very basic qualities.
I’ll add this to the “owns a suit” competency: Knows at least one way to tie a tie.
I’m surprised DC knows who Rhianna is considering they’re still operating like it’s the 1950s.
I’m trying to think of a scenario where everyone involved loses. Whatever that is, that’s what I’m rooting for.
I fucking love the idea of using Socratic Questioning in the style of cognitive-behavior therapy in sexting. I’m just gonna ask you questions until you reach the conclusion I’d like you to reach; it’s much more salient if you’re able to get there on your own.
But what if the glass your water came in was contaminated with the thing you’re allergic to?
Here’s how it “works”:
The idea of a “neg” is to be playful teasing that throws a woman off her game/lowers her confidence and thus makes her intrigued by the “PUA.” It also assumes some sort of baseline comfort (i.e. you don’t open with the neg, you use it once you’ve established yourself somewhat). The classic example is “your hair is…
That’s okay that you don’t understand, sometimes I don’t understand really simple stuff too when I’m nervous. So you want to get out of here, maybe grab a drink?
I’ve gotten lots of negs in online dating, like, “It’s too bad you are so tall, you’re really cute otherwise.” The idea is that I’m supposed to respond by trying to convince him that I’m not too tall and he should really like me. It’s shifting the conversation so I’m now trying to impress him, not the other way…
His neg, though I can’t remember the exact wording, was something like “it’s a shame that other men don’t normally like heavy women, you have a pretty good face...” and I was just like “I have no problem getting men but I am suspecting that given your face, stature, general smell, and whatever you just tried to pull…
I once had a PUA-adherent try to pick me up and when I neg-ed his neg and pointed out that I was literally already fucking one of the band members at the concert we were both at (which was true) and that even if I wasn't, his technique would literally never work, he started drunk crying and telling me how I don’t know…
