“But statistically if he’s on more high alert, I’m not angry about that.”

White, nerdy men on Wall Street brought our nation’s economy to its knees, wiped out jobs, destroyed the housing market, and escaped consequences.

“Son, I think you deserve to be harassed by police just for the color of your skin but I don’t want them to murder you... unless you step out of line.”

Why would anyone do this? If the bees are getting into your home, talk it over with the synagogue. Maybe the hive could have been moved. Just don’t trespass on private property and destroy something that’s not yours.

The only kid who knew a life with Angie before Brad is Maddox. They were already together when she adopted Zahara, and Brad officially adopted M & Z the next year.  The massive family was a team effort.

If someone thinks their “core problem” is they are not getting laid, then they haven’t gotten to the root of their core problem. PUA “techniques” are a mix of anodyne shit anyone who just wants to get laid could figure out (dress nicely, try to be interesting, approach a lot of women to increase your odds), and toxic…

I’ve always bern awkward and not very social. I just learned to talk about it. Frankly, it has gotten me second dates because women found it refreshing to meet a guy who wasn't a dick and was okay with being vulnerable.

There was an appropriate Marlena Dietrich quote I’ll paraphrase. A man was trying to pick her up, and she said “What? Speak up. I warn you, there is nothing men want that a beautiful woman has not heard by the time she is 16.”

I wish you knew how little we think about getting laid when we put on makeup and high heels. 

I’d say this guy looks solidly average. Average is fine! Dudes who don’t look spectacular or fugly, which is most of the male population, get laid all the time. IDK why he thinks he needs to go to this level, because I’m pretty sure with some standard human social behaviors (see: be friendly, ask people on dates, have…

And we will find out. We always do. Low self-esteem. Mommy issues. Ex issues. Drama. Anxiety. Controlling nature. Possessiveness. Anger. Jealousy. Entitlement. Paranoia.

Becoming a complete person who is interesting and approachable on his own is difficult. Learning how to spot vulnerable women and manipulate them psychologically is easier.

Real Issues are scary tho. Buying into some dumbass gimmick and being angry are much, much easier. It also allows you to tell yourself that you don’t have Real Issues, the problem is other people, who are stupid and you can learn how to fool them. (I guess none of them ever think “wait, why would I even want someone…

They do think that, but then go on to think that they are ‘owed’ sex from attractive women because reasons, and get mad because it is obviously the women’s fault for not seeing how wonderful he is, etc.

My guess is those rehearsed behaviors are designed to give the appearance of not being awkward and not having low self-esteem, but I don’t have the stomach to watch a PUA video to find out.

Right?

That was kind of my first thought. 

He can pick up his shit and move the fuck away from me. What a ratfuck.

Pick up artistry is a scam, of course, because even this guy admits he pays actresses to pretend to be random ladies he “seduces.”

Wait.  The guy in the lede photo is a pick up artist?
