No, let's not do what you're suggesting. What you're suggesting is called the "girlfriend-zone," where a guy will be nice to a girl if he thinks she'll date him, but won't want anything to do with her once she shuts that possibility down.

This guy seems to actually value these women as people, so if they can't be his…

You'll notice that, when they tell him they just want to be friends, his response is to be friends with them. There definitely is such a thing as "Girlfriend-zoning" people, but this guy hasn't been doing it.

Remember: sometimes the jerk in the equation is the female. No, seriously. Sometimes.

This. Didn't Mr. Satan pull a few buses across a football stadium once? He just has the ego to match his strength, and in a world where Goku exists but doesn't go on TV and talk smack, you can see why Mr. Satan is the way he is and thinks he beat up dudes like Cell.

You literally said, "You say Fallout 3 is inferior to New Vegas but in fact it is superior." Just so you know.

You've hit the nail on the head. What is anyone in FO3 trying to accomplish besides you, your dad, and Tenpenny? Even the Enclave seem reactionary and forced.

But in NV, you've got House, the NCR, the Brotherhood, Caesar, Jamestown... people are trying to rebuild, or take power, all over the place, and you're walking…

I guess I just sincerely doubt that the guy currently nationally known as an alleged rapist and under investigation for such is going to try to get ANY action for the next little while, especially without explicit consent.

"Name something people think is a woman's job"
does not mean the same thing as
"Name a woman's job."

I don't understand how suspending this guy from school makes anyone more safe. The alleged crimes happened off campus and after hours, so school really had nothing to do with them. Furthermore, it's apparently very public knowledge that this guy is accused of rape. Don't you think people will be steering clear of him…

Wow, that looks NOTHING like Joel Kinnaman.

Okay. Do you know how much lawn work is done by men?

Also, did you see in that question some sort of implication that I think the work men presumably do outside matches the work women presumably do inside?

It seemed like we were good at communicating most of the time, but there would be occasional blowups of her expressing her unhappiness that I had no idea about. To hear her roommates tell the story, the end of our relationship had a lot of me dropping her off at her apartment smiling, only for her to burst into tears…

Okay, I'll just reply to each person who posts something like this from now on: I wasn't and still am not trying to say "I'm sure once we take yard work into account it'll all balance out." I was just tangentially expressing curiosity as to how much men do of it. And, no offense, but the people who are telling me…

Good for you guys!(?) This feminist supports all raisings of fusses about gender roles. A lot of the responses to my original post seem (to me) to scrape really close to the idea that I was writing it thinking, "Because of course once you factor in yard work it all balances out," which I definitely wasn't doing. I'm a…

I think "trash duty" rolls out this way: The man has the responsibillity to do it, but the woman has the responsibility to tell him to do it, every single time. *wink*

Most would say the lawn needs mowing once a week.
It really depends on driving habits, but replacing the oil should happen, ocservatively, every two months (the amount I drive, at least).
Shelves, moving furniture, et al. are very case-by-case, natch.

Are you mad? I hope not.

I can kinda dig the idea of "It's a total reboot and the original characters aren't in it, so why call it by that name?" But then I think, "Because it's probably going to have ghosts and proton packs and those containment boxes and the Ecto-1 so yeah, everyone will see that you're doing Ghostbusters."

But I'm also okay…

I remember a conversation with a girlfriend I was thinking about marrying:

"I wonder what's going to happen if we stay together and find out that you like the house to be cleaned thoroughly every two weeks, and I like it to be cleaned thoroughly every three weeks. It means you'll always get upset about a lack of…

I hate, hate, HATE that opening scene. I'll probably never be able to get past it. It's less believable to me than Avengers or Fullmetal Alchemist or anything. You're telling me:

1) Blue suit guy pulls a huge pipe out of his bag, 2) gets a guy to stand in place perfectly still, 3) Creams the guy in the head (and you…

Yeah, but... so? Proclaiming the benefits of his version of "biblically-correct sex" doesn't mena there's no other way to practice safe sex. No matter how you slice it, the factual information he was trying to relate is accurate.

Are the vocals supposed to be that unintelligible and terrible?
