No one goes to a tournament and asks to be down a round before you even start. It was a separate bracket, not whole tournament. It filtered into the men in the end anyways.
I'm not sure about the exploiting lonely men line, sarcasm can be hard to detect in writing when you are not familiar with a person. So just in case, when 50 shades came out a friend linked me to Gilbert Gottfried reading it on youtube. It was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a bit, so I went to see some of the other readings of 50 shades. My favorite was this guy who was reading it while doing an over exaggerated pg-13 reenactment of the scene. Donations went crazy, least seemed like it according to the comments. It was great fun.
"Cam-whores" or fakers are simply not a gender thing and I said as much the first time around. I mentioned this before on the site somewhere, I and three friends once went to see Troy in theaters because we heard Brad Pitts naked bum was on screen. I'm not a victim because I willingly gave money to see a beautiful man without his clothes on. The $150 hello man gave his money, seemingly happily, for a pretty face to say hello to him. I think he's stupid, and my husband thinks I'm an idiot for spending $10 on a bum. If a person is dating someone, no matter the gender, and is being strung along for their money then I'm sorry; that person is mean and should be dumped. But that is not the same as donating money or time to a stranger over the internet because you think they are pretty.
As for the distrusting of an entire group because of a few...I didn't think I had to argue that since it happens everywhere. There has been two examples I can think of off the top of my head in this thread. Crap one sec, here it is: http://www.hulu.com/watch/514294#i1,p12,d1
The above is Colbert Word clip on race. It's a human reaction. The challenge is to rise above the gut reaction and judge each person for their own actions.
As for the last part, and I don't mean this to be condescending(but it's in writing, so read it as you will), but the English language is rather explicit here. In the term "fake gamer girls," the noun is girls and the adjectives are fake and gamer. So if you say that you hate fake gamer girls, you hate girls that are both gamers and fake. If you say you hate fake gamers, the noun changes to gamers. Meaning you hate gamers that are fake. You said you hate liars and phony ass people. People being the noun and phony ass and liars being the adj. Yours is very inclusive, hating people that lie across the board. In the middle example, it's something about those lying gamers that drive a person nuts and the first, the lady gaming fakers cause a person to tear their hair out. The words mean something, otherwise a person wouldn't use them.
I dislike lying people, though I do think it's a problem people dwell on too much since we all do it. Thus why I said I cut "fakers" slack, though I think they should be thrown under the bus if they don't ever stop lying.
So in the end we agree, we both dislike liars and we don't think it should be a gender issue and we both apparently like the word ass, oh and video games of course. Why sweat the small stuff, when we agree on the over arcing principles?
