"well shit, dude, I keep trying but I never seem to hold their interest, how was your goddamn morning?"
no seriously, this conversation actually took place.

Hey, I'm right there with you. Except I'm eighteen. Though I'll likely be in the same shoes a year from now, so that doesn't actually mean much.Berithil said:↑ Three posts up ↑

I'd bet you could put posting on the internet under society which goes under security so I'd say you were fine beforehand. Your post is a simplification, but I'd say that it sums up human psychology fairly well.Atrocious Joystick said:Okay fine, add Entertainment to that list. Eating, fucking, security and entertainment. Posting on the internet is entertainment.Hagi said:I'm curious...Atrocious Joystick said:We want to eat, fuck and be safe from predators. Everything else comes from these needs.
How exactly does making posts on an internet forum in any way at all contribute to eating, fucking or being safe from predators?
I reckon human psychology might just be a tad more complicated than you're making it out to be.
I'm not saying human psychology is simple. Just because at the most basic version it could be explained away by relatively few basic desires doesn't mean it's simple. Everything that you can touch, including us, is made up of some combination or other of some of the 118 elements. Doesn't mean matter is a simple thing.
I had a roommate do that to a door-to-door salesman. The guy was getting pushier and mentioned that if he were a pretty girl, my roommate would have bought something from him. The guy's expression and moment of silence after my roommate replied, "Dude,I'm gay" was priceless.ohnoitsabear said:Just tell them that you're gay. Not only will they stop bugging you about getting a girlfriend, but they'll also feel really terrible about asking in the first place. It's a perfect plan that has no possible unintended consequences!
This is why you don't have a girlfriendImBigBob said:I've noticed lately that people have met me and automatically assume I have a girlfriend. "You're handsome and smart and funny. Why don't you have one?" It's like they're saying "I know you're not a loser, and only single guys are losers". Yeah, with a college degree and a well-paying job I've accomplished a lot with my life before I've even hit 25. So people are shocked when I say I don't have one.
It's not because I particularly LIKE being single. I've just never met a girl who made me want to be with her. I find that the only girls who ever flirt with me are either slutty/ditzy/drunk, which I really don't find attractive. Yet some friends act like I'm an idiot for not going for the easy lay. On the other hand, every girl I find myself attracted to turns out to already have a boyfriend (at least, that's what they tell me when I ask them out).
Why is society so obsessed with relationships and sex? I've seen people suggest sex as an intrinsic need that humans have, but I've done just fine without it. I highly doubt going to a bar and picking up some random girl is going to make me feel better about my life.
