You really, really are! |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:00 PM Author: Plum candlestick maker tattoo yeah. it probably seem like that was what I was looking for in this thread. It wasn't. I really am not pretty. I just find it funny how people feel a need to lie to women about this, especially since it is uninvited (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13639069) |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:04 PM Author: olive home That's not what I was saying.
I think it's just annoying irl when people give you compliments and it sounds like they're trying to comfort you over an insecurity, when you didn't even say anything to indicate you needed comfort.
It's really condescending. |

Date: December 24th, 2009 4:11 PM Author: Plum candlestick maker tattoo this is true. I mean if I brought it up, then I would understand their comments, obviously. If I said, "God I'm hideous!" I would not bitch when people disagree because they were trying to be polite. But I quietly accept my fate so people should not feel a need to lie to me (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13639121) |

I often am compared to my brother, looks-wise, who is about an objective 3. Then people always say I'm handsome and stuff. Talk about mixed messages! |

Date: December 24th, 2009 4:16 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi Do fellow women lie to you? As a man, I'm rarely compelled to tell even pretty women that they're attractive. I don't think I've ever commented on an unattractive woman's looks.
The one exception is that a friend of mine complained about turning 30 and remaining single. She said, "And my looks, which were never much to begin with, are fading." I told her: "Nah, I think you're pretty."
Ironically, I do think she's pretty. |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:20 PM Author: Plum candlestick maker tattoo Mainly I get told I am attractive by fellow women and older men. Men my age, save my boyfriends, never gratuitously tell me I'm pretty. The exception being if I'm at a bar-in which case I get told I'm pretty by all the drunk men who are looking to score (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13639191) |

|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:29 PM Author: Plum candlestick maker tattoo I avoid a guy like the plague if he doesn't ask me out and if I like a guy he probably would never know. I just assume that he would not like me back and I would hate to send out signals because I would probably just appear pathetic. I don't really hang out with guys at all. I just hang out with girls. The few guys I hang out with are taken and I am friends with their gfs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13639261) |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:31 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi This sounds like a winning strategy.
I know some girls who send deluges of signals, almost to the point of manipulation. Others do nothing. Guess which group is happier.
Also, you do realize that many signals are unconscious? |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:34 PM Author: Plum candlestick maker tattoo yeah, I realize that many signals are unconcious and it bothers the hell out of me. With the way I look and how pathetic other areas of my life are, guys would just see it as a pathetic puppy dog crush. Why would I want to be pitied? Why would I want people to laugh behind my back? They probably already do since, like you say, signals are unconcious. What I should do is just lower my standards. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13639283) |

|
Date: December 24th, 2009 4:39 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi As a man, I've always thought that rejection is worse for women, because it comes later in the relationship. I get rejected off-the-bat and know where I stand. A man might lead a woman on for a while before rejecting her. Many date women they don't consider marriage material.

maybe you go for fat good looking guys... (not really fat)
i have this theory that average thin people should meet up with attractive fat people. The beautiful people and fat ugly people can fuck each other. You'd probably have attractive kids |

|
Date: December 24th, 2009 8:24 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi What do you mean very early? Did your mother criticize your looks as a little girl?
re: second point, yes, but surely you understand the difference between XOXO and real life. Men berate even the most attractive women on here, but it's a b.s. defense mechanism. They would love to date these women in real life. |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 8:27 PM Author: Maroon Dashing Public Bath Legal Warrant 1) Yes
2)No. Guys don't really approach me. Some stare/check me out, but they don't approach me. |

Date: December 24th, 2009 8:28 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi As a guy, you'll have to send out signals, otherwise you won't get anywhere. I'll check out girls, but if they don't look back even briefly, why should I approach? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1173214&forum_id=2#13640429) |

|
Date: December 24th, 2009 8:30 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi Even if you're not a beauty, I think people overemphasize the importance of looks. Interesting goes a long way. Too many attractive women have nothing going for them but their looks. They can talk about self-absorbed crap, but that's it.

|

My main hobby is poetry, and I would love to meet women at these events. |

the chicago council on foreign relations, the economics club, and the pritzker military library regulalry host great speakers, too
i'm usually the only young woman at thes events, but don't mind the company |
|
Date: December 24th, 2009 8:43 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi Interesting, I'm also in Chicago. I'll have to check these out.
What does UChicago do again? I'm surprised I've never heard of this. |

Congratulations, that Harvard education paid off well.
eta: I think you misused it, provided it means "the belief that humans must be considered at the center of, and above any other aspect of, reality." |

"Anthropos" is Greek for "man" |

Date: December 24th, 2009 8:37 PM Author: Chestnut Fanboi How is a norm that men approach women biased in favor of men? I can see the sort of intuitive pro-male logic of it, but there are definitely many men who would prefer it the other way.

Date: December 24th, 2009 8:44 PM Author: charismatic fear-inspiring point I mean, I'm speaking in bad faith when I invoke feminist arguments in favor of that position. I'm pretty shy when it comes to women and I would strongly prefer that they come to me. It saves me from the whole "oh my god, does she like me or does she not?" crap.
But, the feminist argument would go "this rule tells women how to act, and therefore is part of keeping them down as a gender", etc. |

The feminist argument seems a little glib. Even if it tells women how to act, it also tells men how to act. It seems like a wash. |
