Ultimate Hot Girl Effect Evilness:
My 30-year-old uber lawyer buddy has a gorgeous blonde fiance. She's in med school and is crazy smart. She's awesome.
My buddy decided at 27 that he wanted to get into chess. He got really into it, hired a teacher and by 29 or so was moving his rating up pretty well.
As a newcomer though, he often finds himself competing against 13-15 year old boys at his weekend tournements. In fact he's often the only person over 18 playing in some of these tournaments.
He has a good sense of humor about it, but some of these kids, he says, are just total turds to the other kids they compete against.
When he learns he has to play against a kid who's mean to other kids, he calls in the Fiance and has her sit behind him while he plays, just reading whatever she has to read for med school. She'll spend a whole Saturday sitting there behind him while he plays, her nose stuck in a book.
It just destroys the kids. He catches them trying to steal glances at her all the time during the games. Just breaks their chess mojo.
For the cool kids, kids who are struggling to figure out women at that age, he introduces them to her and she knows to treat them like the coolest guys in the room. Meanwhile, the mean bully kids get ignored and seethe in the corner.

- xenophanes 16y agoBullies aged 13-15 are not, in general, bad people deep down. Especially not the ones who go to chess tournaments. It is, in general, not really their fault. Children this age have little control over their lives, so even if they had some good ideas to fix their situation they might well be prevented from doing anything. You can't really blame people for stuff they aren't in control of. So have a bit more sympathy and stop being actively mean to them.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoThat's liberal crap. Everybody is in charge of exactly one thing, and that's themselves. The difference between good people and bad ones is dependent upon exactly one thing, and that's how they treat others. The idea that there's some truer "deep down" person vs what you see, is also crap. Sure there's potential in everybody, but your true, real self is what you show to everyone every day. That cool deep-down person you never show? That's the imaginary you, not the real you.
