I believe you. I live on the beach and it is common knowledge that people transmit certain STI's (chlamydia, the clap, crabs, genital lice) through rented wetsuits, along with ringworm and other things related to fungus or parasites.

Fuck all that noise. You rock on with your big-dicked self!

They exist. I've seen 'em. (Yes, more than one.)

Wow. I just read this discussion between you two and found it chilling. I knew about the LDS history of excluding non-whites, but had assumed it was part of US institutionalized racism during that time period. But, no, actually it was just that God himself thinks white people are superior, but humans aren't allowed to…

You're missing the point, too. This is not about feminism or kind or sensitive men.

Actually, it is pretty simple. The only time it is normal and natural to progress from "friend" to "lover" is in high school, maybe college. (Or in stupid romantic comedies like Chasing Amy, I guess, but that's not real life.) Adults know pretty quickly if their interest in someone is sexual or not, and the "Nice Guy"…

I'm glad you're here and willing to talk about this. It's too easy for religious people (not just Mormons) to avoid confronting discrimination by saying, "You wouldn't understand because you don't go to my church."

Yes, you do sound like a classic Nice Guy. I'm just going to alter this a bit from a reply I made to a different commenter:

Don't trick someone into thinking you want to be her friend, when what you really want is to date her. That shit's not cute.

How are all these commenters missing the point so completely? AnonymousBB IS EXACTLY THE MANIPULATIVE "NICE GUY" THIS WHOLE ARTICLE IS ABOUT! He/She quite possibly wrote this comment in a conscious attempt to make fun of Nice Guy behavior. Critical reading skills, use 'em.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm too old, but I don't get it. I looked through the other responses for an explanation, and I still don't get it. What's the slur?

You just totally proved the point of this article with your comment! You aren't truly nice, you are a Nice Guy, i.e. a man who is doing a fake "nice guy" act for the purpose of manipulating women into having sex with you. Then, when your target sees through the act and doesn't fall for it, you say "hey, women only…

Lol I bet you made that barista's day. I hope the guy tipped her after all that.

No, most women hang out with their friends and say, "Wow, that would be SO CREEPY if a guy did that in real life! That romance hero is a legit stalker! Why doesn't Hollywood make better movies?"

I know right? The Henry Higgins line was super condescending, too. I really, really hope more people get a HH reference than a Pete Campbell one, sheesh.

The motives for having a baby on US soil are not selfish ones. These mothers are thinking of their children's lives, not their own. They are hoping that their babies will one day use that US citizenship to get a degree from a good American university, which will make them stand out from their billions of peers in the…

This is how I will refer to my sister's children henceforth. They are a ballsy, willful little threesome. Dark Triad, indeed.

Oops

I especially love the reasoning that the Holocaust was punishment for Jews "screwing up in the Old Testament". Does this mean I could be subjected to torture and enslavement for something an ancestor of mine did 2000 years ago?
