I am not sure why being "Just friends" is such a horrific thing for men. I mean "Friends" can lead to "Couple" if you play your cards right, be patient and caring and just oh..I don't know.. wait a damn minute. Sheesh. 99.9999999999% of the time, Just Friends for a woman means "there are no possible circumstances under which I would ever have sex with you". Unfortunately, Just Friends for a man means "I want to have sex with you, but haven't figured out how to do it yet. Also, I am a pussy." Mmm.. Ladder Theory. |

Yeah yeah, gimme a break about the pictures. I'm using a decent Kodak digital, which takes GREAT pictures. In fact, my mother is having a picture of her's published in some amateur photography book, using this camera. This is most likely a scam. They tried to pull the same crap on me. You send them a photo and they tell you you "won". At this point they say they are going to publish your photo in a book of amateur photos. Except the only people they are selling the book to is the people who submitted photos in the first place. So they probably do send you a book with everyone's photo in it for $50 but the only people that are going to see it are people who submitted photos. |

The ladder theory holds pretty true. Most of the time, making women friends as a dating strategy is useless. There are obvious exceptions, but I'd say 4/5 times you make "friends" with a woman you are remotely interested in, you get squat.
It does go a little overboard on how being a dick makes you golden with chicks. That only works if you are hot first. If you're a gargolye, being an asshole won't help.

Thirded. He gets bonus points for including lyrics to two Cake songs as musical intonations of ladder theory.

I can't read the Ladder Theory at work, but I can say from much personal experience, the "friends" angle does not work, at least not if your intention in being a friend is to get into some form of more than friendly relationship with the woman. You either become too friendly, and are seen as a brother, or you never can make it that extra step. You're better off just telling the chick, "I like you, I want to date you, I don't want to just pal around." If sex (whether immediate or eventual) is in anyway one of your intentions, you need to make that known upfront. Not "I want to bone you," but "I want us to be more than friends" right up front.
See, I think women are much more open to who they sleep with, because they always have options. Even uggos can get boned if they really want to sling the poonanny around. So, as a result, they can afford to be reactive, to wait until a guy they want to bone comes around. They can afford to be friends with guys. Guys on the other hand feel that decidedly urgent need to get while the getting's good on their all too brief sexual peak, so feel they can't afford to pass up any opportunity.

lol I would never.
You are only a MCP half the time :P.
But I think I am a lot more lenient as to what constitutes an MCP anyhow.
I think if a person has the confidence to say "Hey, I want to date you. Would you be interested in that?" is much more beautiful and passable than someone who pussy foots around about it saying "Uh hey.. would you ever consider being more than friends?"
It's confidence. It is amazing what confidence can do for you and just how much it can turn a "No." into a "Sure!" for some people. Men and Women always have options. I think it's equals. It's just seen otherwise.

"I wanna put it in you," is also probably not the correct line either. Although, with the right audience...

New post is up, along with new pictures.
The post is password protected, but in hindsight, it shouldn't be.
Regardless, only those who are worthy and PM me shall recieve unto them thine divine password...or something.

I did so because my mom was curious enough while looking at photos to hit "parent directory" a few times, and found my blog. If no one wants to PM me and read it, fine, be that way.Bitches. Do I have to provide credit information to subscribe to your trip abroad?
Um sure...PM me that as well, I could use a new AMD64 and Mobo for when I get back, and a supercharger for my car, too.  |

Fine, whatever, ASRoma (case-sensitive).
Uploading some more pics, some of when we went to listen to the Pope, and some random shit. The accompanying post should be worthless, but oh well.
PS: Just for reference, some of the pointless shots, in no particular order, are:
My messy closet
My messy bed area
Our crappy Kitchen, living area, and (main) balcony view
A Smart (the tinyass car)
Pigeons (just because)
Me trying desperately to get a shot of a Lambourghini

I upload them in .zip format because: 1) It's easy 2) It's quick 3) It takes up less space, and I have no idea how much Shockeye was kind enough to actually give me. If my 45 year old mother can figure it out, then, well... You work with computers, right? |

You work with computers, right?
Yes, which is why I'm now going to call you on this. :-D I upload them in .zip format because:
1) It's easy
2) It's quick For you, perhaps, but not for your audience. And it shouldn't even be easier for you, really. What are you using to upload your pictures that makes it so hard to do multiple files? With command line FTP you can do "put *". With a GUI FTP client you can drag and drop a full directory in one shot. 3) It takes up less space, and I have no idea how much Shockeye was kind enough to actually give me. JPG is a compressed format, so the benefit to zipping them up is pretty low. And doing them all in one big chunk probably increases bandwidth costs overall, since it means that people have to download your entire archive of pictures to view one of them. Did I leave anything out?  |
