Don't read fantasy books in public. At least don't tell anyone you do.

Do you want to end up like this guy?

She'll change her tune when she realises I'm world champion at reading fantasy books in public.

[Anonymous No.2050982]

For real though that woman has fucked up priorities if she'll happily date a hedge fund manager but draws the line at nerdy hobbies.

[Anonymous No.2051006]

You got me.

Got as far as the 'strikes' before I had to exit out. This woman is horrible.

[Anonymous No.2051011]

That woman is identical to half the girls at my uni.

[Anonymous No.2051044]

Try sharing this with /v/, OP. I'm sure they'd love to hear about this.

[Anonymous No.2051053]

This girl will always be remembered as the chick who dated Jon Finkel. How'd she like them apples?

[Anonymous No.2051067]

As a hardcore geek myself, I found the article acceptable. Sure, the "strikes" things were silly and the whole thing comes out as egomaniac, but consider it this way:

If she continued to date with him, she would have to deal with a guy who spends a good chunk of his day training and discussing a game that does not interests her, with people with very different tastes from her. "Different" is good, but not the same "different" every day for the rest of the life.

And her last paragraph makes a good argument:
>But there's a larger point here: that judging people on shallow stuff is human nature; one person's Magic is another person's fingernail biting, or sports obsession, or verbal tic. No online dating profile in the world is comprehensive enough to highlight every person's peccadillo, or anticipate the inane biases that each of us lugs around.

Imagine you were dating a girl and discovered she had written the most important book on hardcore feminism in the world.

[Anonymous No.2051075]

>>2051067
The the feminist would be dumped. Feminism isn't just a silly hobby that makes you $400,000 a year like this guy with Magic - it's a fucktarded belief system that almost always wastes more money than it pulls in. Not a good analogy.

[Anonymous No.2051078]

>>2051067

So, who doesn't want to date a successful writer?

[Anonymous No.2051081]

>>2051075
Geeks have more quirks than feminists. And I'm pretty sure such a prolific author would have good money.

Yes.

>>2051081

Geeks sit around playing card games and board games with other Geeks. They're not particularly attractive, don't smell that great, and usually don't dress well.
They are usually uneducated and uninteresting.

Feminists, on the other hand, are extremely self-educated, use critical thinking skills to analyze every day social situations, are very well-read, and lend themselves well to intellectual conversation.

Take your pick. Because if you choose sitting in a cockroach-infested apartment drinking Diet Coke and playing DnD with a bunch of hairy male nerds, enjoy your eternal virginity.

quints for beautiful troll

unless you actually believe that crap about geeks being dirty and feminists being clean and pretty. Boys actually aren't made of snakes and snails and puppydog tails, and girls aren't actually made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

[Anonymous No.2051145]

WHAT? Google Jon motherfucking Finkel before talking about how Magic players look like.
Besides, I'd go gay for Finkel before tapping Rand.

[Anonymous No.2051150]

I loved the spin on "self-educated" and "lend themselves well to intellectual conversation". This post is a work of art.

But I do think the girl was in her right.

thoughts?

[Anonymous No.2051182]

If she didn't want to be with him because he played magic then whatever, but posting something like that in public and making it sound as though she were some sort of victim. Then she takes it a step further by dragging this poor guy through the mud. He didn't even lie to her, he told her he played.

tl/dr: fuck that bitch

[Anonymous No.2051210]

>>2051182

Yeah he also took her to see a play about a serial killer. Who the fuck takes you to see a play about a serial killer on a fucking date? That doesn't imply anything good.

Because we sometimes have internet articles made about us by women screaming "LOLNERD/LOOSER/GEEK/VIRGIN!!11!!" to anyone who happens to pass by.

Why do people always bite on trojan /r9k/ threads without at least saging

Anyway, the girl is well within her rights to not want to date this dude, but the fact that she thought this was a hilarious war story writing up and repeating to people who aren't her friends speaks kinda poorly of her, and publishing the poor schmuck's name is just totally shitty behavior and "journalism" - but typical of Gawker Media, of course.

My point zoomed over your head. Considering you've probably given quite a lot of head, there's probably not much left for my point to zoom past anyway.

wow, that chick was a hardcore bitch. luckily chicks get a lot easier as they get older.
once their looks start to go, they drop a few pegs. by the time they're 40 they'll be sucking random cocks at the cougar and letting you do anal so they get some attention.
