you is what you am

Let me just drop my thoughts and experiences here for a second.

While it's true that women seem to go after the hard-ass type that will always hurt them (>>3095069), it's also true that they tend to go for these guys not because of their aggression or personality, but their confidence (>>3095269). Many women just seem to prefer confidence over kindness. If they really like a guy who they talk to, but he never asks her out, then some asshole she doesn't really like asks her out, she'll go after that guy more because he has confidence and he knows what he wants, while she'll feel turned off by a guy who doesn't seem like he knows what he wants, even if it is simply just a lack of confidence.

It has to be taken into account, though, that some people weren't meant to be together. Me, I'm a massive pussy, I never talk to girls. One girl I instantly "fell for" and asked out for the first time in my life. I was confident in my speech, manner, whatever, and didn't come across as an asshole (I think). But after a couple [what I called dates to myself, but she clearly did not] her manner and actions proved she was not interested in me the way I was interested in her. I was confident, I was kind, but she wasn't interested. Some people are interested in some people, and some people simply aren't, for one reason or another. There's nothing I can blame for her not "falling for me" in the way I did her; it was just not something that was meant to happen, she didn't want it. So I stopped pushing. I didn't loose my confidence, I just reacted the way it seemed she wanted me to react.

just a thought.

couldn't talk to girls before lit, can't talk to them still

>be freelance writer
>make anywhere from £15k-25k a year
>rent 2 bedroom house with girlfriend
>happy with life

Money does not buy happiness, folks. Slaving away in a STEM job you hate purely for more money does not make for a good life.

different strokes for different folks

>BA Hons in Journalism, no debt
>work as journalist for The Guardian inb4 british newspaper debate, its just a job.
>£30k a year.

does me just fine. I grew up in a household that made a third of that with 4 people to care for. £30k for me and me alone is loadsemone. decent house, car, can afford useless shit like tablets and overpriced computer chairs.

Slytherin is master race house. Harry had all the qualities of being in slytherin, but he literally asked the hat to put him in gryffendor.

Slytherin as a house is no more evil than any other house. But J.K. Rowling needed someone to paint as a bad guy, so of course the select few bad guys had to come from somewhere. But slytherin at large is a perfectly acceptable house.

You'll grow up, don't worry.

Shit, cat. I admitted to being 16/17 on /mu/ dozens of times, people always reported me, and I'm still the number 1 in post count.

Clearly the mods just enjoy my posting.

The problem is that consumer culture has created this image that "intelligence is unattractive". It's why me, a lonely nerd, has never talked to girls outside of "hello" while mindless, but physically strong men have fucked tons.

life's ruff.

>I hate people who feel the need to shit on anything popular.

whenever i say that i dislike something that happens to be popular, it's always ONLY because it's popular that i dislike it, people assume. i just don't like most of the movies i've seen of his.

i like cohen brothers and gucci mane and marx and they're all just as popular as tarantino. stop assuming that i dislike something simply because it's popular. there's this thing called "taste" and "different opinions", b.

i didn't mean to say fully "unrealistic".

what i mean is that it's not applicable to an entire society in a way it could work. unlike someone like marx or nietzsche.

I have no idea what either of those movements actually want, so I can't pass a judgement on them -- bar this metacomment. They're not something that unified the whole generation though.

For a list of studies advancing mankind, this is fairly accurate.
