Do not ask me out, do not give me your phone number, do not write me a note, do not make sexually suggestive advances toward me.


If you are a stranger, do not approach me in a mall, do not approach me in a restaurant, do not approach me at work under some undefined, baseless reason that can only be roughly determined to be because you "saw" me, "ran into" me, or "waited on" me, "worked" with me, or I was, for whatever reason, "there."

On all above accounts you are trying to communicate in a primitive language that I do not speak.

When you approach me in any of the manners above without having anything to go on other than what you see, you are telling me you believe physical appearance is a reason to want to get to know someone or initiate a relationship with them. You are, in effect, telling people you are a shallow and opportunistic person. I do not like shallow, opportunistic people and I do not respond to them.

You do not know me enough to show that level of interest so fast, to ask me out or to provide me with your phone number. That should be a consideration for you. And that it isn't, tells me a lot about you. And more importantly to me, I do not know you either.

Do not attempt to use sex, sexually suggestive behavior or your sexuality to induce attraction from me. **** you. Do not project your own crass and animalistic instincts onto me and expect to communicate. I do not operate on so low a frequency and it is an insult. Your sexuality will get you nowhere and no points ...so do not expect it will. Expect static.

And do not attempt to define my sexual orientation in absentia when I do not respond because you do not have the intelligence to initiate a relationship in a healthy manner, without relying on such basic and simpleton actuators as presence and physical appearance. **** you again.

Do not say my physical appearance was only a minor inspiration to find out more about me, meanwhile your way of finding out about me is asking if I am rich. Do not insult my intelligence.

Intellectual compatibilities, common interests, experiences and mutual struggles, revealed by platonic interaction over time, are precursors to wanting a further relationship with someone, not an attractive physical appearance or wealth. I am not interested in a succession of failed, trial and error relationships based on an inadequate, instinctually un-evolved, socially primitive, immature and faulty attraction paradigm.

I do not want your special treatment or attention because you think I meet some physical (or materialistic) standard of masculinity nor will you receive special treatment from me because you believe you meet some physical standard of femininity. People should be connecting deeply over shared interests, beliefs, struggles, experiences and sufferings, not because you think someone is ****ible or you think you would look great together at a wedding or in your Facebook photos. Do not project your immature storybook fairy tales and tabloid magazine shallowness onto me. It's time to grow up.

We are not peacocks and prairie chickens. We are adult modern humans and should require more than visual appearances and body cues to trigger attraction.

Lastly, and on a related note, many of you already realize men are not Prince Charming on a white ****ing horse delivering you into your castle. But nor is anyone the bad ass in the movie who vanquishes the bad guys with their badassery. That is a lie. No one can save you from the world. No one can protect you from the Universe if the Universe decides to take you out. Men are just as susceptible to being destroyed by the world as women. The big bad Universe is tougher than all of us so drop the act. A person with the right tattoos, wearing the "right" costume or engaging in whatever activity you think represents "tough", is not going to save you or themselves from someone with a bigger weapon and the element of surprise. And yet we spend so much energy learning how to protect ourselves. Stop being impressed by men in uniforms who learn violence and cigar smoking, tough talking braggarts who have a habit of saying "I'm the boss" or men that can "handle a gun" or men that can "handle themselves" in a fight and women who are playing the same age old self-destructive game. I mean, how ****ing dumb a species are we? Thousands of years of soldiering, under the pretense of "protection", and the millions of dead civilians that resulted should have shown you the myth of human invisibility through "strength" (man or woman), cloaked in national military posturing, "self-defense" education, weapons, badass tattoos, thuggish looking pets, violent movie preferences, violent sport preferences, violent video game preferences, violent music preferences, and a steely-eyed, anti-social countenance, is all just a racket and an act that, from start to finish, delivers nothing but ugliness, misery and death to the world.

Why would you be attracted to that?


EDIT: I have been banned from responding to this thread for calling Sheldon Cooper an asshole. My first ever alert here and ban. I do not regret it. He was being an asshole (see his post my alerted post was responding to). I expected many of the kind of negative responses I got but it is still quite revealing how people alter their reactions when based on the messenger. To those: Thanks for showing me who you really are.

"I would not, could not, give you head. Not in a car. Not in a bed."

Silly bastard couldn't get laid in a Tijuana whorehouse.

I think it's safe to that this person is doomed to be an extraordinarily lonely person for the entirety of their existence.

I suppose it's kinda sad, but it brings it upon itself. I wonder if it has a pet?

Ol' Shankapus had a woman tell him that he just doesn't make her feel safe. She needs a man who will protect her - and it ain't him.

As a Man who has worn the uniform; smokes cigars; carries a gun; can handle himself in a fight, and has the scars to prove it; has a badass tattoo; rides a motorcycle; drives a truck; kills what I eat and eats what I kill; and has a steely-eyed, anti-social countenance; I can tell the Shankapus that chicks dig it. All of it.

Reality slapped the 'Pus in the face like a porn star's cock, and he's not taking it well.

10. I don't recall her mentioning anything about

being complimented by young and attractive males. They were on their way some where, and THIS IS NYC.. and she ignored the hello's because she never felt obligated to return someones hello, because yes, its a scary place to live in these days. Maybe out in the rural areas people are more friendly but in major cities, this is never a wise idea. I live in San Francisco. No one says hello, unless they are trying to drag you into their shop to sell you something. I avoid that confrontation. Its better to not invite confrontation than to open yourself up to it.

Yes. More than visual appearances and body cues to trigger attraction. Instead more important things should be used like:
1) do you enjoy murdering unborn babies
2) do you think unnatural acts (man on man action) is normal and natural
3) do you think Bush is the cause of all problems
4) are you willing to bow down to the teleprompter reading faux savior
5) do you think the failed system of socialism should be adopted by the U.S. because it will work this time
6) do you think 1+1 = POTATO
7) do you think everyone that makes more than me should be forced to give me their money

I'll stop here because I'm tired of typing their stupid shit.

Have I mentioned yet that I despise these lunatics?

I didn't read beyond the quoted portion of your literary bowel movement. I just really had no desire to waste my time, dummie. If I had to give a wild ass guess here, I would say apparently you don't have to worry too much about that ever happening, dummie.

My suggestion would be to find a herd of sheep. A dummie said once that they ain't too bad once you get past the bleating.

5 cents please.

You know, I don't get it.

I usually greet everyone I see, whether someone known to me or not.

And I need to point out I was doing this while living in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, too--not just in friendly Nebraskaland.

Surely in my lifetime, by now I've done this tens of thousands of times, and while there might have been a rebuff or two, I don't recall any.

Inhabitants of New Jersey especially seemed to like it; I made friends left-and-right, hand-over-heels, in New Jersey.  To this day, I consider New Jerseyans some of the nicest people one can hope to meet.

As for the easterners who get rebuffed by other blue-staters, maybe it's their approach, their manners.

I can't imagine not letting a person, even if a stranger, know that I've seen something distinctive in them.

All of it.

Reality slapped the 'Pus in the face like a porn star's cock, and he's not taking it well.

The interesting thing about that little clip was that everyone here now is a result of that age-old system of attraction and mating, and the people who weren't (Like Skanky) became genetic dead-ends as they cropped up every generation.  Yer genes can't win if they don't play, 'Pus.  You big LOSER.
