Master Don Juan
hey, he has a girl friend. that's more than can be said for many here. and he's honest. unlike tons of fellows around here that can type a mean game but whose lives are probably wbafc or worse. besides, people hold opinions on all kinds of things that they have no experience with from politics to the state of the military campaign in iraq. certainly no harm in discussion.
deus,
"No, I'm saying that looks aren't even part of the equation. That's why I advocate a ban of looks threads. They're completely counterproductive to the art of Seduction..."
right. you may be correct here. but it doesn't mean that it's not TRUE. i feel there are lots of ideas in "SELF HELP" that are actually PATENTLY FALSE. but believing them is actually helpful! the LIE enables action whereas the truth may paralyze.
but i've always been an advocate of truth at all costs. whether it is destructive or not.
"An interesting point, but that's mainly due to factors beyond a normal man's control. The same can happen to a male model."
right. and there lies the truth. and it is a truth that is usually frowned upon in the self help community. but there are indeed lots of things that are out of ones control. and the fact that it is out of your control in no way nullifies the point. so if peer pressure and other things can play a part against the cause of an ugly guy, then that guy is screwed.
i agree that it may be detrimental to an ugly guy but i think the truth of the matter is that to say that looks play no part AT ALL is indefensible. my opinion of course but it seems to me that it is just as extreme and ultimately unreasonable as "looks is everythinng".
bonhomme and kk,
"not all men judge a woman by her looks."
magazine covers, film actresses, media personality and the response of babies to photos of ugly v. beautiful people would argue against that notion. also, if we take into account evolutionary psychology, it would be highly detrimental to the evolution of the species.
reality is harsh but not arbitrarily so. there's a reason why lots of people are screwed.
