    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    Id say this individual act isnt sexist, but the fact she tries hard to present her (Frankly impressive) credentials on a professional website but (Apparently) receives many messages simply regarding her physical appearance instead indicates a sexist trend. Do you think male professionals deal...

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    I am a biologist. Never. Ever. Use that phrase again please when discussing sociology. It kills us inside. Seriously. Words are important, and if they are dont use crap like that, no one with education in any science will accept evo-psych stuff like that, its usually entirely BS and almost...

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    I edited this out because that was really me making assumptions about the tone of your introduction which in second thought was too much of a leap for me to make, i retract that point entirely. No saying the word outloud doesnt warrent being called sexist. But he didnt sit in a perfectly...

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    I dont necessarily agree with that view but a lot of society does find it creepier when the age difference is so large, it might be a contributing reason for her reaction, frankly I wouldnt look down upon her for it.

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    Look at this rationally, a 57 year old man inappropriately messaged a 27 year old on a professional website in a way that is annoying and frankly creepy. Is it sexist? Not sure really, id say no, but at the same time is the problem here that the person being creeped on by an older...

    What does the escapist think of Totalbiscuit?

    We have a lot in common regarding solid confectionery... Alright seriously, i like the guy. I particularly like his hearthstone videos, its fun to watch someone play the game ultra silly like he does, he plays hearthstone like i play MTG. Sure the best deck is just all the best cards with...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    Im going here from the assumption that the person HAS asked and the askee so to speak has to decide if they should be honest or whatever.

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    I'm honestly curious about where this belief comes from. Is it actually true? Is it an excuse we make because opening up to strangers is (For most of us) hard? I honestly have no idea, but its something EVERYONE says in such a way that implies they think it ridiculous. By that logic then these...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    I have no issue with everything else youve written and found it absolutely agreeable, so to avoid a huge post of me going "Thats understandable" and "Yeah that makes sense" im gonna just say this instead :P Im British too, but I'm a southern chap from a tiny rural town called Twyford. Theres...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    Im a very easy going person and my friendliness is almost always sincere. I'm good with people. Honestly this seems like trying to explain how to juggle over the internet, its going to sound awkward and stilted, its just something I can do and it always comes out naturally when i do it. It would...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    Literally two seconds of it? I think anyone who thinks an actual LITERAL moment of their time is more important than someone elses feelings is an ass pure and simple, especially when its so easy not to hurt their feelings. In fact when its this trivial id say its almost purposefully TRYING to...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    Youve confused "Being rude isnt always bad" which is true with "Being rude is always not bad" which is stupid. Yes its bad to be rude when theres no difference in difficulty or outcome to not be rude. You end up with the same outcome but one party has hurt feelings. Thats literally an...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    If you actually felt this way your response would be: "Im afraid and intimidated by social interaction". But its not. So you dont REALLY. I believe in absolute honestly and socially acceptable lies, and to be honest so does everyone else regardless of what they say because both no one can...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    What youre doing isnt honesty or bluntness. People appreciate honesty and bluntness when they ACTUALLY appear, but thats not what youre doing. No see the blunt response, the response I give when i dont want to talk is this: "Hello! I'm sorry, ive had a really bad day today, i really dont...

    This is important, its not like they pulled another Varick where they proposed to eachother, they made the first tentative steps toward romance from friendship. Before I officially dated anyone ive dated we held hands and did other subtle romantic things just based on good chemistry and a close...
