It's supposed to work on attractive women who get complimented all the time. In reality, it works on women with low self-esteem. Sadly, I've seen it in action.

Except it doesn't make any sense. Now that "negging" is so popular, that makes it completely recognizable by people outside the PUA community as well. Defeats the purpose of it, no?

What?

I'm convinced Salma Hayek doesn't have access to a dictionary now.

I met a Mormon guy like that except he got married when he was 35. That guy was so...weird. I figured that he could only see women as potential mates or nothing else. He never saw women as just...people. Even after he got married, the only woman he could make eye contact with was his wife.

But hey, if you don't have any other redeeming qualities, I guess making a big deal out of purity gives you some self-esteem.

Huh. I would think that he'd be more of a Papa John's or Chick-Fil-A type of guy.

Yeah it's so weird. I remember him being a heartthrob when I was in junior high, and I never understood why.

Hey I think you were the one who told this story before. (I've been trying to give you credit.) They ended up divorcing, right? Because it was less about his being "respectful" and more about him not being into sex and/or terrified of it?

Right. And people are so much more than that or at least I'd hope so.

What makes you think they'll never have sex?

This kind of moral excellence and purity is rare today, but our sons and daughters are priceless.

"the lines got blurred, the boundaries should have been stronger."

By God I think you've nailed it.

You can't gerrymander the Senate because it's statewide.

Why are women constantly treated like we're this mystical labyrinth of emotions? (Although I'm a liberal, I know damn well both parties do it.) Either no man can ever understand us because we're made up of complicated emotions or we have to be talked down to like we barely understand English.

And then when she says, "Who is this?" he calls her a fat slut and claims he didn't want her vote anyway.

Yes they do. Would you hate me if I said it's because that's what the people really want anyway and that's why those ads keep getting made?

Way to usher the Catholic Church into the 20th century. Awesome. (Even though this shit was established by a previous pope.)

I received shame based punishment like this, and I'm really grateful that my dad did that!
