Why do you think I'm "afraid of women"? The fact is that, if a woman's had a lot of casual sex, she's developed a taste for variety and you have no hope of being her ideal man. When you're in bed with her, she's wishing you had Biff's abs,

Because you can't? No, because it would be tiring and pointless, and I'm never going to convince you that you're wrong anyway. The two words are practically synonyms. One gains skill through experience. Again, go try and get a job and us

I don't want to put words into your mouth, but the perception I (and others in this thread) are getting from you is you don't want to find a soul mate, you want to find a wife to 'manage your household' or do fulfill a similar role that ha

Perhaps, but some issues are more important than others, and moral character is a big one. A person's sexual history is evidence of that person's character (or lack thereof). It's the one area of life where people are easily pushed to do aw

I'm not going to reply to most of this, but a couple points stick out. I would love to hear why you think sex is "deviant". It seems natural and healthy to me; after all, we were all born with the equipment built right in. I think casual

I think it's a big part of why many young men play for variety and quantity instead of trying to form relationships. No man wants to be significantly less experienced than the woman he ends up marrying; that's just emasculating, and she alm

My use of the word "quality" refers to their personal qualities that are relevant to relationships. I don't mean that people who do this can't be interesting and worthwhile people, but they're certainly not the type of people you want to ma

To bring up the obvious, I can't pass judgment on a woman who's had casual sex if I never know about it. The worst side effect of casual sex is its cultural effect. "Hookup culture" is extremely debased and elevates deviant behavior to acce

My adversity is toward a culture ( Sex and the City ) that encourages women to be selfish, oversexed, mean-spirited, uncultured, and unladylike, even when such behavior is usually against their own interests. I don't consider it sexism beca

It's both something that I oppose and something that I've observed most potentially marriage-worthy women oppose. I don't think casual sex is necessarily immoral, assuming that neither person intends to get married in the future. The main v

I know a number of wonderful American girls as well. Three-quarters of them, for what it's worth, weren't born here or are second-generation immigrants. The problem is not that there are no decent American women. Obviously there are. The pr

I'm disturbed that you would depict me as a misogynist because of my opposition to Sex and the City culture and the type of person it has, sadly, convinced a lot of women to try to become. I'm somewhat elitist, and I think the corporate-m

Observation only, but I'm far from the only guy who has this perception. I could be doing something utterly wrong, and if I am, I'd love to know what. I get by, right now, by being extremely selective in terms of whom I'm willing to date, w

My jaded and unfortunate observation is that most women tend to focus on "number" in the other direction. If your number's lower than theirs, even if that's largely by choice, they don't respect you because you're not "alpha" enough to be

I live in Manhattan, actually. The truth is that, although I don't care much what people do in private, I could never marry a woman who's had casual sex. I find it pretty unadmirable, and wouldn't want a person who behaved that way having a

I live in the US, so finding the "right kind" of woman is difficult. 85 percent (or more) of them are too selfish to have any long-term potential. The saying comes to mind about how, in the US, it's very easy to find a great job and very ha

I disagree with your reduction of the question I'm asking. It's not just about sex. It's a question about balancing a set of strong (but mostly counterproductive) emotional and physical desires with the higher purpose of getting things done

In my experience, it was about 1/3. Then again, I wasn't a great player. In 2003, I came up with a Magic-like game that solved a lot of these problems. It wasn't a kill-your-opponent game, but a German-style TCG with a Victory Point (VP) sy

There would still be bubbles without the douchebags, but the douchebags made the human costs of this economic cycle far greater. It's douchebags, after all, who have created the collection of trends known as "middle-class squeeze". The Clin

I think college admissions matter more to parents than they do to the students. For the parents, it's a huge insult not to have their "pride and joy" accepted to the Ivy League. The vast majority of level-headed 18- to 22-year-olds don't ca

It's nice. It reminds me of the "square root" hack for Gin Rummy, from the guy who came up with the card game Ambition. Square-root hack is as follows: regular rounds are scored on the square root (rounding down) of the deadwood difference,

It's not, but it's all the information I have in this case. I don't know anything about her aside from her picture, included with the essay, and what's contained in the breakup letter. Let's recap: he was with her for a year and thought he

He also posted her picture, which is (1) somewhat inapprpropriate, and (2) makes him look even dumber, because she's absolutely gorgeous, and it sounds like there was nothing wrong with the relationship. If you have to dump a good relations

That's a great design hack. Did you come up with it? If only someone could do something similar for mana drought/flood, Magic would be a pretty good game.

There's a lot of "enterprise" crap in the Java libraries: extreme verbosity is the most notable problem. Object-orientation is also just the wrong metaphor for many problems. Finally, camelCaps are uglyAsFuckAndNotVeryReadable. However, the

Clojure uses {} for maps, #{} for sets, and [] for vectors, and vectors are used in function definitions, let statements, etc. This slight decrease in regularity makes a lot of functionality more visible. For example: SBCL: (defun f (x y) (
