21 Things Adrienne Wishes Boys Would Stop Doing
(New and improved repost from Facebook.)
At first I titled this post "21 Things Guys Do Wrong," but that just seemed a bit too harsh, even for me. It's also not accurate - no one guy does all of these things. But they happen often enough to me to give me plenty of solid rant material, so fuck it. It's goin' up.
This is an annotated list of things I wish guys would get over doing. It's by far not a comprehensive list as far as sex and relationships go, but I tried to stay close to the surface - things guys do before and at the beginning of a relationship.
Here's another such list, though it focuses way more on the sex part: http://www.soccer24-7.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-103894.html
I tried not to repeat too many from this list, but some things need to be said twice.
One more disclaimer: I am fully aware of my own bias. My "advice" is just packaged that way because it's how I choose to rant. I make these posts for my own entertainment; if I really wanted to have a solid, successful, influential, popular blog, I would be way, way more diligent about my writing and advertising. Grain of salt, folks.
ENJOI.
21 THINGS GUYS DO WRONG
1. Moaning, groaning, and/or becoming distant if she's not in the mood.
Yes, I know you're frustrated and it's considered "normal" to express that frustration; it's what guys do. Well, stop it. She probably already feels bad about it and you whining about it or giving her the silent treatment her will just make her feel even more horrible. And don't do the playful "Aw, man!" thing unless it truly isn't a big deal; she can tell the difference.
If you think she should "know how you feel" and use that as an excuse to whine at her about something she already feels bad about, please die immediately because you're an insufferable douchebag. Yeah, it's disappointing, but if you actually like the girl at all it's not the end of the world, and it's probably temporary.
2. Making it your life goal to bring her to orgasm.
It's true, "If at first you don't succeed, try try again" applies to this, but not all in one session. Guys need to understand: relieving sexual frustration or just enjoying sex in general is (usually) not about the orgasm for women. It's fun and it feels good, sure. But it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen the first time.
More importantly, don't use her orgasm as a testament to your manliness. At that point it's not about her anymore. It's about you and feeling accomplished as a man, and she feels like she's on show. And yes, we know when you're just trying to prove something to yourself. She's not likely to enjoy herself if she feels like she's just putting on a show to quell your insecurities. This is when and why girls fake orgasms.
If you really want to know what she likes, ask. (Some girls are shy and won't tell you. It's a maturity thing for women - not much you can do about it but guess.)
3. Expecting her to be able to sleep with your arms wrapped around her.
The inability to move and your hot, rhythmic sleep-breathing heaved onto her neck every few seconds probably makes it difficult for her to sleep. Be aware that just because you're comfortable doesn't mean she is. Also remember that if she doesn't get enough sleep because you insist on cocooning her with your limbs, she'll probably be a grumpy bitch after a while.
4. Referring to anyone's orgasm as "finishing" or "being done."
This is such a turnoff. It shows her that you think that
1. sex is a "task,"
2. you don't really need her to "finish" it, and
3. orgasm is the end goal and sex ends there.
Sex doesn't end there for her; most girls aren't "done" when they reach orgasm.
If you say "I'm almost done" to me during sex, you will be all the way done immediately due to me hastily exiting your penis-space.
5. Making it all about sudden dominance all the time.
Rough sex is awesome, but take your time. If you're always shoving her onto your dick suddenly, you bypass all opportunity for building tension. This is absolutely essential to enjoyment for many girls, even the ones who do want to be owned all the time. So while it can be really exciting to just go at it all of a sudden, don't do that 100% of the time. Teasing is highly underrated.
To that end: It's generally not a good idea to just jump in anyway. I mean, logistically speaking it makes things messy. Which means literally speaking it makes things not messy enough down there (you know, the vagina, in the place where you're trying to shove a relatively large skin-phallus). Sometimes we don't like it either, but we HAVE to have time to be physically/psychologically prepared.
6. Commenting on EVERY PAIR OF BOOBS YOU SEE.
Okay, girls need to get over the fact that guys look at boobs. All of them. All the time. They need to stop being insecure bitches, and they shouldn't make the guy feel bad about something he can't help.
But guys: if you find a girl who doesn't throw a vaginal bitch fit every time your eyes wander, don't take that as the go-ahead to comment on every pair of boobs you see. She might be super cool about it, but after a while hearing about how awesome every other girl's body is gets a little old, and it can make the girl feel un-special. Saying "I'd hit it" about everyone who has a small waist and decent boobs can make the girl you're with, no matter how secure, feel like your sleeping with her is totally a coincidence, that you could be with any of those other girls just as easily.
Another way to alleviate this effect: if there's something specific to her body you like, tell her.
7. Being overly cocky or overly modest.
The cocky thing seems like an obvious point, but let's face it: girls dig assholes. They want someone with confidence and prowess. But overt cockiness is utterly transparent (and goddamned annoying); an overly cocky guy usually doesn't realize that he is revealing every insecurity he has by posturing like a douchebag.
A less obvious point: yes, modesty can be unattractive, too. If you're with a girl you like but you're always telling her how much you don't deserve her, asking her what she's doing with you, and saying other things that shit all over yourself, stop it. 1. Utter lack of confidence in oneself is unattractive, and 2. it makes the girl feel like you're just with her because she's the only girl who paid attention to you.
Accept compliment graciously. If someone says something nice about you, don't deflect. Just smile and say thank you, no matter how awkward it makes you feel. Rejecting compliments is downright rude.
Chicks dig quiet modesty, but too much sincere self-deprecation can make it seem like you're with her out of desperation, not because of attraction and compatibility.
8. Fucking her at weird angles.
I'm not referring to positions here. Regardless of the position, don't try to "hit her sweet spot" or some dumb shit like that. Just go for straight, clean thrusts. Spastic "crazy angle" thrusts feel awkward, and can even hurt; going at some weird angle or moving around a bunch mid-thrust often stretches things in unpleasant ways.
If you want to find her "spot," rather than trying to manipulate thrusts, try out different positions and see which ones she likes best.
9. Making assumptions about birth control methods.
Here are two things birth control is not: straightforward, and something you want to fuck with.
If she tells you she's on the pill, don't just assume she's been on it long enough to be totally safe. Some girls don't know enough about their own birth control, some are misinformed, and when pressured even the most honest ones will straight up lie to you to avoid awkwardness or disappointment. Educate yourself on the common forms of birth control so you know exactly what to ask her and when it's safe. I know it's an awkward conversation that can come up at the most inopportune time. Just remember:
Make no assumptions or risk havin' babies.
10. Staying in the same position for more than a few minutes.
Plowing away in one position for 10 or 15 minutes might be groovy for the guy, but at that point you're just using her for a warm hole. (Good luck keeping it naturally lubricated, too.) Change it up - put her on a desk, bend her over something, improvise on a position you've already tried. This keeps it interesting psychologically and prevents a numb vagina.
11. Being totally silent.
Make some noise during sex! You don't want to fuck a mime, why would we? No one likes silent bitches.
12. Not taking an interest in the things she does independently of you.
It's quite common in relationships for one or both people to be passionate about something the other is not involved in. You don't necessarily have to get involved in those things with her, but at least try to see what it is she does when she's not with you. She wants to feel like you like her as a person, not just the parts you get to enjoy.
13. Assuming "rigorous clit abuse" is on her list of turn-ons.
Some girls can handle really aggressive stimulation, but for the rest of us:
Seriously guys, this hurts. From what I can tell, the only guys who do this do it the first time anything at all physical happens, before they could possibly have any idea whether the girl can even handle that kind of aggressive, direct stimulation on that tiny bundle of nerves or not, let alone if she likes it. (Which kind of tells me that they were doing it for themselves more than anything.)
The best I can figure is that this goes through his head at some point: "Oh, there's a small bundle of nerves that feels great when touched lightly, so touching it EVEN HARDER must make it feel even greater-er!!!"
NO.
P.S. A rigid tongue is as bad an aggressive finger.
14. Waiting until you're in the Friend Zone to ask a girl out.
So you've made friends with a cute, interesting girl. You hang out for a few weeks, maybe months, and then you finally work up the courage to ask her out...and she's not interested. You're thinking: what happened? We've been inseparable for weeks, we obviously get along - what else could she want?
She wants someone with confidence and sexual prowess. Flirt a little from the start and she'll fill in the rest with her girl-brains.
One more (very important) thing about friendships with girls:
Girls want guy friends sometimes; do not assume that just because a girl is hanging out with you that she wants to date you. Ask her early on, and if she's really someone you want to be friends with, let it go if she says no. But whatever you do, DO NOT hear "I'm not interested" as "maybe if you stick around longer and wait patiently I will become interested." That shit is awkward and annoying; it cheapens friendships for the moment and ruins them ultimately.
15. Assuming an "open relationship" status is an invitation for anyone and everyone to openly propose sex.
NO.
16. Giving up on hygiene once you get comfortable.
If she really likes you, morning breath and a missed shower here and there are probably not a big deal. However, not doing anything about the morning breath and not showering for days and/or before you see her can chip away at physical attraction over time. Horrendous breath is so distracting that it can make kissing and even cuddling entirely unpleasant. And no one wants to run their fingers through greasy hair.
17. Seeing morning wood and assuming you're horny, and then poking her with it.
Ugh. Really?
A boner is not always caused by horniness. Morning wood is a result of some crazy chemical shit that goes on while you're sleeping. It's totally a physical thing. You don't "wake up horny all the time," you just assume that you do because that's what pitching a tent normally indicates. And stop poking us with it!
18. Doing the mid-sentence kiss at the wrong time.
We've all seen this in a million chick flicks: a boy and a girl somehow find themselves spending time together, they grow closer, and there's a conversation where they stop to acknowledge the tension between them. She's all blabbing on about how she doesn't know what to do about it, or she doesn't know if she should "leap" or some dumb shit like that. In the middle of one of her vaginal outbursts the guy just kisses her and shuts her right up, and all the women in the audience cream themselves. "THAT'S SO ROMANTIC!"
THIS IS A MOVIE AND ONLY APPLIES IN THIS EXACT CIRCUMSTANCE, IF EVER.
If a girl is talking at you about her ideas on fiscal policy, that is NOT THE TIME to interrupt her sentence by attacking her with your face. This pisses me off like nobody's business. You're not being spontaneous and romantic, you just don't give a shit about what I was saying.
If you want to show you care about a girl, let her speak and have actual discourse with her.
If you just want to get into a girl's pants, just let her speak and pretend to have actual discourse.
Either way, interrupting something she might feel is important by trying to make out with her mid-sentence will probably send you well on your way out of Doin'itville.
19. Buying into retarded pop stereotypical ideas that say women get off by lighting candles and watching The Notebook.
WOMEN WATCH PORN. We have dirty minds, too, and most of the time we just want the shit fucked out of us. Choke a bitch once in a while.
20. Being a messy kisser.
No matter how romantic and impassioned a kiss is, it's just an icky feeling to be slobbered all over. I have never, ever talked to someone (particularly girls) who said they liked sloppy kisses. Very little (except maybe horrendous onion breath) is more off putting than coming away from a kiss with slobber all around your mouth. Uggghh.
21. Complaining about how all she does is makes lists of things she hates that you do.
Then stop fucking shit up.
Dork.

A response to those still complaining about Starbucks.
A buddy of mine from back home posted a note that contained the following:
"I am so happy about the movie "Role Models!" For years I have DETESTED the pretentious use of “grande” and “venti” by Starbucks and Paul Russ used the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE I have used to blast those bistro-masters (morons) who insist we use their boutique slang. So in the movie, Paul Rudd goes to town on some dipshit about it. Rent the movie. I AM EXONERATED BY HOLLYWOOD! (“Tall means large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is Italian for 20 and is the only word that doesn’t mean large. Congratulations, you’re stupid in 3 languages.” --- love it!!!)."
Starbucks is neither a bistro nor a boutique. They have very specific, logical reasons for their cup size names.
As an ex-barista at Starbucks (a job I really enjoyed) one might suspect I would have loyalties to and bias for the company. As a critical thinker and devoted skeptic, however, I will gladly examine and acknowledge any evidence and/or logical arguments objectively. So while my understanding of the subject is a result of my working there, the rebuttal is due to my particular distaste for people distorting and/or misunderstanding the facts and making logically and culturally stupid comments about the easy-to-target Corporation for cheap laughs.
Starbucks' hot beverages come in four sizes: short, tall, grande, and venti.
When the company first started, they only had two - short and tall. The company grew, as did the demand for larger sizes, so they added 'grande' as their largest size, to distinguish it from the already well-established 'tall'. (By the time the company became large enough to care about these demands, they had such a regular, established customer base that they did not want to redo their entire system of cup sizing.)
Grande, by the way, is also Italian. Perhaps your buddy Paul didn't get the memo that Italian and Spanish are sister languages and share many of the same words/spellings.
Anyway, so then Starbucks exploded as a company and it became cool to run around with a cup of coffee in your hand all the time. So of course people wanted more coffee in one cup, and Starbucks had to respond with yet another, larger size. With no reasonable or efficient way to redo the size system, they couldn't just tack on another "large," so they created another distinctly-named size, venti (which is the number of ounces contained in that size.)
They have four very distinct words for their sizes for a specific reason. Among the most important of Starbucks' priorities is efficiency. They train the bejesus out of their baristas to make them fast and consistent , and a large part of that is cup calling. They have very specific words for all of the specifications of any given drink. If the person at the register is calling "large" "extra large" "small" to the barista, the barista would either make the wrong size often or would be constantly checking with the (already busy) register person, which slows things down significantly and gets the drinks out of order. "Tall," "short," "grande," and "venti" are completely different sounding words, so there is very rarely a misheard size.
By the way, we still call it "espresso" here in America; people seem to have no problem with that Italian word describing coffee. What's your issue with using other words from the culture of its origin?
And finally, I'd like to say that I don't think Starbucks is pretentious. There is very little pretense involved; they serve quality coffee, train their baristas well to execute and fully understand the drinks they sell, follow through on their volunteer/charity commitments, make/sell high quality coffee-related merchandise, and incorporate a huge variety of music that is generally culturally valuable into their atmosphere/merchandise.
Launching into a rant about why Starbucks is pretentious and then saying blaringly ignorant things like "grande means large in Spanish" to make your argument sound informed or clever - THAT is pretentious. Because it's empty; it's not clever and he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Though I do think Starbucks is one of the exceptions to the rule of corporations cutting corners, inflating their image with stupid lingo/advertising campaigns, and training their employees minimally, people should know it's an exception because they did their research, not just because it's fun to join the popular trend of bashing large corporations.
There is an ongoing (though quiet) feud between Dunkin' Donuts coffee drinkers and Starbucks customers. On the side of the Dunkin' Donuts "argument" is the claim that DD is less expensive than Starbucks (and thus, some say, less pretentious - "why pay $5 for a cup of coffee?"). I looked it all up, and the verdict is:
They are the same. At $2 for a Venti, Starbucks' brew is a few cents less than DD's brew, but Starbucks' specialty espresso drinks are a few cents more than DD's. So it evens out.
P.S. About the whole "I don't want to pay $5 for a cup of coffee" thing:
They are the same. At $2 for a Venti, Starbucks' brew is a few cents less than DD's brew, but Starbucks' specialty espresso drinks are a few cents more than DD's. So it evens out.
No one pays $5 for just a cup of coffee. That $5 is for a 20-oz espresso drink with soy milk, extra shots, extra syrups, and a barista who has spent weeks training to get it exactly right every time.

Don't.
Look, I know I come off as severe sometimes. I'm a very intense person. But believe it or not, I am making friends all the time on OkCupid. The positive stuff is too personal to blog about for me whereas the annoyances are shallow and easy to pick on. So I don't hate the website or the people on it. I have the baby, I just need to rant about the bathwater sometimes.
__________________________
THE BATHWATER
Don't inform me that my profile is too whatever you think is wrong with it.
Don't help perpetuate an argument with asinine statements and then after a few rounds of getting your ass handed to you blame me for "taking it too seriously." "Whoa whoa whoa, I was just joking around" is utter bullshit at that point. Wuss.
Don't tell me that I should "smile more." It's supposed to be a charming little gesture of encouragement, but it's canned and insulting and I hear it all the time. More importantly, how do you know I don't have a totally legitimate reason to not smile? It seems counter-productive to me for someone to criticize how I portray myself if it's the truth and I only want to attract people who will accept that.
Don't ask the question when I put "don't ask" next to something. I'm not flirting with you, asswit, I just want people to leave me alone about it.
Don't read "I like Bach" in my profile and decide to annoy me into dating you by telling me how much Bach sucks even though you have NO EFFING CLUE what you're talking about.
Don't start an argument with an asinine statement like "Bach sucks" and then get all weirded out when I give you a sincere rebuttal.
Don't get all nervous about making plans if I'm busy for a week. You didn't know I existed last week, one more week isn't going to kill you. (It sounds arrogant, I know, but people seriously get all jumpy if I can't meet up with them within a few days.)
Don't message me about music unless you know what you're talking about. Damn it.
Don't tell me to change my profile to suit the "normal" ideal rather than accurately representing myself.
Don't tell me you can't dance.
Don't insult other guys to make yourself seem somehow more self-aware than they are.
Don't tell me about the things you suck at, like dancing, playing an instrument, and spelling. It puts me in an awkward position as I have no way to respond to that politely and honestly.
Don't send me a message insulting something I mention liking in my profile as a clumsy attempt at flirting. It's like the guitarist that no one knows or cares about clamoring on stage and yelling into the microphone, "HOW Y'ALL DOIN'" as a cheap, unimaginative attempt to connect to the crowd. Awkward for everyone.
Don't just look at my pictures and send me garbage.
Stop freaking out if I can't get back to you within a couple of days. A girl's got shit to accomplish and rent to pay, holmes.
Don't send me dumb, snarky, vaguely rude copy+paste messages and then get all upset when I call you out on it.
Don't completely violate simple requests in my profile and then get all confused and upset, telling me you're "a good person," as if that is the only criterion I'm allowed to consider when deciding who I want to spend what little time I have talking to.
Don't tell me I'm too uptight about grammar. Just move on to the illiterate section of the dating pool where you belong and you won't have to worry about it.
Don't demand that I "read you."
Don't carefully proofread your messages on OKC and then turn into a linguistic slob when we talk on IM. Be honest with me from the beginning, people.
Don't tell me how many messages I'm "probably" getting every day from other guys, but that I should give yours special consideration because of whatever it is you say you have going for you. I'm not that special. You can talk to me like a normal human being. And have some pride, man.
Don't send me a message telling me how awesome you think you are. What are you hoping for here? What POSSIBLE outcome could you reasonably expect from this that would be considered beneficial? Apparently I'm supposed to read your message and conclude that I would be foolish to not go out with someone so thoroughly boss. You are at that point, by definition, anything but cool.
Don't tell me about women.
Don't tell me about guys.
Don't assume anything from internet silence.
And for god's sake stop telling me I'm "too negative." Fuck you, and I hope you perish slowly and unpoetically in a fiery, fiery crash.

The end! I feel much better. Thanks, guys. *high fives all around*

Online Dating 101: Not bein' a dufus.
About a week ago my boyfriend and I decided to create OkCupid profiles to make some new (platonic) friends in this area. So far it's been surprisingly successful. We're meeting all sorts of amazingly articulate, intelligent, interesting people who are groovy just being friends and hanging out.
On occasion I receive messages from some real grade-A douchebags. They usually construct some message they feel sounds witty, charmingly cocky, and flippant. They craft it so that it seems specific to the girl but actually never mentions anything specific. I usually ignore these, but one I received recently was just aggressively annoying.
So I present to you one such problem message that I received this morning and my open-letter response. Keep in mind that I explicitly state in my profile that if you try to bullshit me, I will call you out on it. This guy had it coming.
While I'm fairly confident in what I have to say, I invite anyone to comment, criticize, joke, insult, or otherwise respond constructively.
Enjoy!

Subject: Can you handle it?
Sep. 8, 2010 – 12:38am
Skepticasm,
Well, I hope you're more than just another pretty face or something. I bet you're probably getting about 36 emails a day from desperate guys saying things like "Hi, I'm freshly divorced from my seventh wife, have 5 delinquent kids... but the good news is that I have a great chance of buying my dream doublewide... So... wanna go get a big mac?"
In any event, I'm 27, not too insane, a great conversationalist, and I'm more than the usual amount of interesting and funny, so you'd better like to laugh.
You might just make an interesting friend, so message me back... if you think you can handle it, that is!
-Will
_______________________________________________
First: Keep in mind also that his profile is more of the same - bragging about how funny he is and imploring women to "dazzle me" and "come entertain me" and to "earn" their Friday night dates with him. Oh, and something about a big truck he drives. It has a name.
Guys: unless you own a yacht or some form of aircraft, don't name your vehicle if you ever want any action from a chick with a higher IQ than said vehicle.
Oh, one more thing. Under Things I'm Good At he wrote "Putting bad women in their place." First, way to be a chauvinist jerk about your word choice. Women do have their own brand of annoying/crazy/bitchy, but so do men, so I have no idea what he's going for here. It just seems rude and clumsy like the rest of his profile.
Onward.
________________________________________________
Will,
Actually, I have hit the jackpot of amazingly articulate, easy-going people here, and I'm usually the one to initiate contact.
Look, clearly you're a nice guy, and I even concede the possibility that you are witty. But I don't like to let obnoxiousness go unchecked whenever it loudly presents itself to me with all the grace and finesse of the Incredible Hulk attempting ballet.
I see what you're going for here; it's true, women dig assholes and they long for a challenge. For some reason guys interpret this to mean "be aggressively self-complimentary and explicitly state challenges in conversation." That's not exactly what "asshole" means. If you explicitly spell out exactly what she has to do to "get" you, there's zero challenge. This is particularly true if you are the one who initiated contact to begin with.
Now, about the whole "I'm a super awesome funtime hilarious guy" thing: Guys hear "confidence" and for some reason think "this means I should brag freely about myself." This just comes off as a desperate attempt to impress her. Challenge annulled.
To that end: It seems that you spend far more time telling people how witty you are than you do actually being witty.
If you're going for the "cool, confident, challenging" thing, then don't send her a message saying "come and get it!" You've already revealed your interest by sending a pseudo-complimentary message peppered with contrived attempts to hide the fact that it's a thinly veiled plea for her attention. She's not going to come running just because you commanded it. In fact, she will decline to come running to you because you told her to.
Also, lavishing her with back-handed compliments is usually not so effective; the discrepancy in intent not only compromises the confidence you're going for but also paints you as manipulative, or at the very least vaguely rude.
And shitting all over other people (including the girl you're messaging) to set yourself apart as special implies that you need such a scale to make you relevant or interesting.
Want to know what a woman will respond to (including me)? Chicks dig assholes, but not ones that are aggressively asshole-ish. They want the ones that seem to view any particular female possibly interesting but ultimately disposable. They want mystery and intrigue. A girl wants quiet confidence, the kind that doesn't require her attention to thrive.
Here's my suggestion: If you find someone you think is interesting, send her a brief, straight-forward message telling her exactly what caught your eye about her - but only one or two things; you don't want to give away the mystery or destroy the challenge. Just remember that there will always be time for more compliments later, after you've lured her in with your mystique.
Here's a for-example:
"You strike me as an articulate, perceptive person, and we seem to have some interesting things in common. I would love to chat with you sometime. Here's my screen name..."
Don't be afraid to be deliberate. Flippant only works in real-time conversation when you can pull it off as off-the-cuff, and only in moderation.
There's very little risk in this straight-forward approach, because there's nothing to read into whatsoever. Women (well, the reasonable ones) really do appreciate straight-forward men. Guys are so busy trying to find some snarky or clever way to set themselves apart that the only ones who successfully do are the ones who just come out and say what they want or what they're thinking.
You don't have to come up with witty remarks and ways to frame compliments in cocky ways. Just be honest but reserved, and she will be intrigued.
I personally prefer genuine, down-to-earth, no-bullshit people. I can see that that's there somewhere in you, and if you just engage that instead of trying so hard to appear confident, you will actually be confident and women will respond accordingly.
Hoping this was helpful,
Adrienne

...and Bob's your uncle.
I think I was a little too nice to this guy. I assumed he wasn't a bad person, but he ended up being a real dick. And for that -
Check out his profile: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/scrouds
All this guy does is posture like a hopeless douchebag. Notice that if he can't fit in cocky, he goes for random and whimsical, like calling himself a pirate and saying that he spends his time creating empires. He never actually says anything genuine or true about himself. Posturing via flat, witless one-liners = lame + transparent.
ADDENDUM: I was right about the copy+paste deal. One of my friends informed me that she received the same message from this dude several months ago. This guy's a real charmer.
I sent him a link to this post, and I'm somewhat disappointed to report that he didn't even try to put me in my place like his profile says he would. Bummer.
I see these guys all the time and it just makes me twitch a bit to think that through all their incompetence and assholery they still get chicks. You know why nice guys finish last? Because assholes like this guy are playing the numbers so hard that women just can't trust anyone, particularly online, to not be doing the same.
Oh, well. Jerks will be jerks. Perhaps making examples of guys like this will ultimately embarrass some of them out of pulling dumb shit like this. A girl can hope.
