This is not bullshit, and pick up artistry is not necessarily about approaching someone based only on physical attraction.

I wish I could star this a million times over!

Hahaha, I'm sorry that you had to include that caveat in this conversation, although it was probably a good idea. I ALSO DO NOT CONDONE RAPE OR NON-CONSENSUAL SEX, yay!

Thank you!

Rape fantasies and submission don't play into this guide at all. There are plenty of women attracted to both, but to be safe, each requires trust prior to engagement in these fantasies. That's the 'fantasy' part of 'rape fantasy'. Also, people that are fully engaged in D/s relationships (and by fully engaged, I mean…

The awkward thing is, I can understand this being okay for some women to imagine, but they're probably imagining this happening with someone that they were already attracted to, and didn't know how to come on to. In reality, this is not a Fifty Shades of Grey style fantasy. This is some guy that you don't know and are…

Ugh. The "come on, please" type attempts. Ah! *High school flashbacks*

Oh, also, you shouldn't have to put your fucking dick in someone's hand to have them touch your penis - that's very, very simple logic. If a person wants to touch your dick, they will. The point of this guide is to get as much out of a single encounter as you can, regardless of the impact on the other person. Yes, we…

Ew, I'm sorry, but you're gross. So much about this comment is just so wrong.

Exactly. All I could think was of times when I've had that happen to me, and literally every time, I went 'Ugh' in my head. I didn't have my hand on your dick for a reason, dude - either we weren't there yet but were getting there, or I didn't want it to go that far.

Actually, I have a prof who did an ethnography of pick-up artists, and there's a whole branch of them that could actually be called 'Decent Human Being Artists'.

I read that the opposite - the comedian wrote about it less than 12 hours before it was successfully funded, meaning that the majority of the campaign was concluded by the time he had written about it.

I expect that the media frenzy that must have surrounded this prompted a quick move by Child Protective Services so that "and CPS didn't take their kids away" doesn't become a part of the media story.

Oh, forever and ever. It's a fairytale kind of love. <3

Agreed! This whole conflict had my anxiety up, just imagining it. Ugh.

Yep! A stag and doe is a fundraising party that involves both the groom and bride, so a doe and doe is a logical extension, if there are two brides instead.

Some Shaw's Ice Cream stores sell it, you can put it on your sundaes. Or banana splits, like me.

Hahahaha.

Aw, it's nice to hear that you appreciated that gift.
