3/21    Is there a reason why women love junk mail and spam mail? I helped
        my family members get rid of Red Plum, Valassis, DMA, etc and
        everyone's junk mail has decreased significantly, however all the
        women in my life (wife, sister, mother) are pissed at me. Ditto with
        email spam: through their permissions I unsubscribed mailing lists,
        but now they want them back again because they're missing out on some
        deals.
        \_ I think that's just your family. Most women, like most men, hate
           spam.
        \_ My wife loves getting shopping magazines. She gets one every day
           or so.

1/30    "Want to have more sex? Men, stop helping with the chores"
        http://www.csua.org/u/z3x (news.yahoo.com)
        F*CK!  I've been doing this all wrong!
        \_ There is a Cantonese saying: "Don't feed your woman to a full
           stomach until she turns 70."  It's the same idea -- if you treat
           your woman too well, she won't behave.
        \_ More like: Some women have a high tolerance for shit. If you
           have one of those, then great. If you don't then starting to
           act like an ass is not going to get you laid more often.
        \_ Correlation does not imply causation. More likely, macho
           men in traditional roles have sex more often. It is not
           likely that this says much about educated California
           couples.
        \_ I help with the chores and I get laid about twice as often
           as average according to this article. So I must be doing
           someting right.

12/6    Lesson learned: don't talk about Monty Python on a date. Women just
        don't seem to get it.
        \_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
           loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
           gender thing.
           \_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?
           \_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent
              looking?
              \_ She would call herself a nerd because she like Dr Who and
                 Star Trek, but she's so not. She's a photographer with a
                 degree in biology who is also Air Force Reserve. She's a
                 thin, red-haired single mom (divorced). Stop
                 stereotyping.
                 \_ I think Kari Byron is a hotter red-head.
                    \_ Putting the "Bust" in Mythbusters since 2003.
                 \_ Dr Who (the reboot) and Star Trek (the reboot) are pop
                    culture. Just like frat boys talking about ubuntu
                    drivers; it's not "nerdy" anymore. Or maybe it is if
                    everyone is a geek, is anyone a geek anymore?
                    \_ wow, you never lived in the mid-west or south have you?
                       people there actually think sushi is exotic.
                       \_ clearly you haven't. Nice troll btw.
                 \_ Can I have her phone number? -guy who thinks red-heads are exotic
                          \_ I grew up in a small town in the Central Valley
                             and things like sushi are exotic there.
                 \_ Can I have her phone number? -guy who thinks red-heads
                                                  are exotic
        \_ If she don't know who monty nerdcrud is, she's a keeper. bonus if
           she don't work in tech.
        \_ OP, is the lesson "don't talk about Monty Python" or "don't
           start quoting material other people don't recognize"? I'm guessing
           the latter. Try a couple of Princess Bride quotes next time, just
           to test the waters; my wife can quote that movie verbatim, but
           Monty Python's a non-starter for her. -married 16 years

12/4    Why are eastern european models so plentiful and hot?
        \_ By "models" do you mean cam stippers? I wonder that
           myself.
        \_ Less processed food?
        \_ Genetics. I went to Estonia this summer and that's just what
           the women there look like: light eyes, blonde or light brown
           hair, full lips, curvy hips and bust but small waist. It's a mix of
           Germanic, Nordic, and people from the Caucasus which a lot of
           people find attractive. I found the women there (and Western
           Russia) prettier than even the traditional Swedes. Go go
           Darwin!
           \_ That makes no sense. America has the most diversity!
              \_ America has a lot of very attractive people!
                 It's also cultural. In Russia, for example, I saw women
                 willing to walk many blocks in high heels. In the US,
                 such women (even if they wore heels to work) would switch
                 into tennis shoes for the walk. Feminists would say they
                 are still oppressed. There's probably some truth in that.
                 \_ In The South women wear high heels and makeup all the
                    time. Feminists would say that they are still...

11/6    I downloaded some free and paid apps that are ummmm questionable and
        I don't really want my wife to see it, how do I remove it from the
        iTunes download history? I can't seem to do that anymore after
        upgrading to iOS6 (I used to be able to "hide" it).

7/17    Summer camp sure is a great place for middle aged guys to flirt
        with teen girls by the pool.
        \_ Are free condoms available like in the Olympic Village?
        \_ Why is a middle-aged guy at a summer camp?
           \_ "Because summer camp sure is a great place for ......"  Maybe you
              meant to ask "What excuse does a middle-aged guy have to be at a
              summer camp?"
              \_ Both. FLirting with teen girls lands you in jail.
                 \_ Flirting? Nah, I didn't say shtupping.
                 \_ Flirting? Nah, I didn't say shtupping. I did get some

           \_ Watch American Beauty and you'll understand why. When you
              approach your mid 40s/50s, you'll understand why.
              \_ Yeah, no. If you're in your mid-40s and you're flirting
                 with teen girls, you're a pathetic loser as well as a
                 creepy man-child. -- mid-40s alum
                 \_ Even 19 year olds? Ah, c'mon don't be such a stick in the
                    mud. The only loser here is the balding fat guy that
                    can't get any hotties to talk to him any more. Does it
                    help things any that the "girl" I thought I was talking
                    to turns out to be a 21 yo single mom? -OP
                    \_ Not as much as an eye exam is going to help you.
                       \_ You are nuts if you think you can tell the
                          difference between a 19 yo and a 21 yo by looks
                          alone.
                          \_ Yeah, here's the thing: I think you're a
                             creep because you said you were flirting
                             "with teen girls by the pool" at a Summer Camp.
                             Summer camps are for kids; teenage girls are
                             kids; therefore, you were flirting with kids.
                             Now, if you'd just said that you, middle-aged,
                             were just talking to some people at a
                             pool, and one of them happened to be a 21
                             yo single mom who was into you, I'd've
                             just thought you were telling tales.
                             \_ The world is more complex than your model of it.
                                Here is a question for you: what if I told you
                                that one of the dads at the camp was a 42 year
                                old widower and he hit it off with one of the
                                old widower and he flirted with one of the
                                older teens at the pool. They hit it off and
                                started dating and he married her soon thereafter
                                started dating and he married her soon after
                                when she turned 18. I ask because this exact
                                scenario (minus summercamp) is how my great-
                                grandmother great-grandfather met. I think the
                                only reason it is not more common today is that
                                far fewer women die in childbirth, making young
                                widowers quite rare. Throughout most of human
                                history middle-aged widower taking a young woman
                                as second wife was common. Are you saying that
                                of those guys are perverts? Or is human biology
                                really so different in the modern era? Or perhaps
                                we have a more enlightend view of male-femail
                                relationships? I am really willing to believe
                                the latter.

        http://www.csua.org/u/vsa (shine.yahoo.com)
        Is it pedophilia or true love?  They look so sweet together.
        \_ An 18 year old is not a child, so not pedophilia. It is
           still kind of disgusting, but at least two orders of
           magnitudes less.
           \_ I think that because he was her teacher the idea is that there
              was a relationship before she turned 18.
              \_ As pp noted, still not legally pedophilia. Definite
                 abuse of power as teacher, however. The man's a tool.
                 \_ It's not pedophilia even if she was 16.  Pedophilia is
                    attraction to prepubescent kids, which a 16-year-old is
                    not.  It might be statutory rape, though, and of course
                    it's an abuse of power.
                    \_ He met her when she was a 9th grader. I think he is
                       a pedophile. Maybe he isn't technically, since a
                       pedophile is into girls 13 and younger, but that's
                       splitting hairs. He's certainly a sick pervert who
                       splitting hairs. He's certainly a sick prevert who
                       needs to be sent to prison.
                       \_ It's not the same thing at all.  Pedophiles are only
                          really interested in prepubescent kids; if they met
                          when she was in 9th grade (age 15, since her birthday
                          is in September), she was well past that point.
                          Biologically, a healthy 15-year-old girl is at
                          nearly peak fertility -- it's normal to find them
                          attractive.  He's probably a manipulative bastard who
                          took advantage of her inexperience and his position
                          of power as a teacher, but he's not a pedophile or a
                          pervert.
                          \_ I think he is a pervert but not a pedophile.
                          prevert.
                          \_ I think he is a prevert but not a pedophile.
                             Women's peak fertility is early 20s, *not* 15,
                             there is a big difference to me and most people.
                             It is "normal" to want to punch someone in the
                             face who cuts you off on the freeway, but most
                             adults have learned to not act on all their
                             impulses, for example I am a married man and I
                             met attractive women all the time, but I dont'
                             try to sleep with them. This guy is a disgusting
                             pervert. But to call him a pedophile cheapens
                             he term. Pedophiles should be castrated and locked
                             the term. Pedophiles should be castrated and locked
                             up for life. This guy just deserves ridicule.

                             although that is less clear. It's not normal
                             to find 15 year old girls attractive if you
                             are a 40 year old married man with a
                             daughter the same age. He is very sick.
                             \_ What if you are a 40 year old single guy?
                                Is it normal then?
                                \_ No, but this guy *really* has issues.

                                         he is 90. He might be a dirty old
                                         man, but that is normal to me. In
                                         fact he is kind of lucky at 90 to
                                         have a libido at all.

6/8     My wife and I are childless. We never had much interest, but if we
        don't have kids soon we never will and so we are talking about it.
        To us the birthing process and pregnancy are disgusting. I realize
        it's the most natural thing in the world, but it's still extremely
        nasty to us both. And I believe in childbeating, which is illegal
        where I live. The more we learn (plus about all the associated
        risks) the more we marvel that anyone is _ever_ born and how
        couples who go through it would want to repeat it. I read about
        women who like to eat the placenta and I almost lost my lunch and
        I am not a squeamish person. I saw a video of a woman giving birth in
        high school health class, but that did not prepare me adequately
        for the reality. We are left wondering why in the hell anyone would do
        this, especially after seeing how ungrateful our nieces and nephews
        are. I am curious how those of you with kids managed to reconcile
        these feelings. Maybe we're better off not being parents, although
        I think we'd make good parents. We could adopt, but raising someone
        else's kids is something I don't think I could do (even though my dad
        did it). I get very frustrated that we have agonized over this so
        much while much of the world just pumps them out without a thought.
        \_ be thankful that you like in Northern Cal. Maybe you should move
           to SF and feel at home.
        \_ we'll thank you for not peeing in the genetic pool
           \_ My genes are already all over the place. I have six nieces and
              nephews. I wish my sisters would have thought about this as
              much as I have, because, frankly. parenthood has not been
              successful for them.
              \_ Those asren't your genes, they are your siblings.  Similar,
                 yes, but not the same.
                 \_ Most of them are the same - enough to matter.

                    nephews have his genes ......

                          law (hot!)

           \_ Same to you, buddy.
        \_ for many, children are a consequence of sex.  Effective birth control
           wasnt even really an option until recently.  Even still many forego
           it, for (short-sighted) economic reasons, or even religious ones.
           Oh, and even if you can get past the whole childbirth process,
           children are not for the squeamish.    Poop-filled diapers, and
           more!  Whee!
        \_ You believe in child beating and you think that you would make
           a good parent? Go get yourself sterilized, please.
           \_ Some dim-wit added that. I am dim!

           They are constantly fun and interesting to me, only occasionally
           are they obnoxious.  But we raise them very carefully.
           We never buy things for them and we don't have TV in our house.
           This goes a long way to keeping them polite and interesting.
           Also, I don't really mind disgusting things, diapers and whatnot.
           I don't know why people get so freaked out about it.
           \_ I am not disgusted by changing diapers. My wife and I are
              disgusted by having another human being living as a parasite
              inside of her like some sort of movie monster. The post-birth
              aspect doesn't seem disgusting, but the pregnancy and birth
              seem like 9 months of hell.
              \_ Somehow, billions of people have managed to get through it,
                 I bet you can too if you really care to. I am also a later
                 parent (had my first child at 40) and I have to say, I
                 could not be happier about it even though I was sleep
                 deprived for the first year.

                          on the trip. She did drop the hint that next time we
                          should go someplace that is more educational for the
                          kids. So next time I am going to try and get her to
                          agree to a vacation in Paris so "the kids can see
                          the Louvre." Wish me luck!

10/28   I am a perfect man and I am never wrong. I tried to read the following
        color blindness test and I cannot read it even though people around
        me claim that they can read it. I think this is impossible because
        I am a perfect person and I don't have color blindness and I find
        it impossible that people can read it. How does it work? How much
        time did you guys spend to "get it"? This is an impossible test.
        I call it shenanaigans.
        http://www.archimedes-lab.org/images8/reverse_ishihara.gif
        \_ My color blind friend couldn't read it. He got mad at me when I
           accused him of faking being color blind. Maybe you need to be a
           certain kind of color blind.
        \_ I see big and small circles of different colors.  What am I supposed
           to read?
           \_ I see a n3kk3d gurl, you don't?
              \_ Damn, http://www.archimedes-lab.org/colorblindnesstest.html
                 actually says only color blind people can read it.  No wonder
                 I can't.  But what's strange is that even after I convert it
                 to B&W by using "Desaturate" in Photostop, I still can't read
                 to B&W by using "Desaturate" in Photoshop, I still can't read
                 it.  -- PP
                 \_ Color blindness doesn't work that way. It's more like
                    color blind people cannot distinguish between two different
                    specific hues.
        \_ 30? A trick question? Oh I can see it with my glasses off and
           halway across the room from the monitor. Pretty funny.
           \_ Somewhere back in the 90s, a pretty well known guy in networking
              got his kid a summer job with LBL network operations. Part of
              his job was making custom ethernet cables and such ... but
              for some reason, the cables he made never seemed to work ...
              which was awkward because his supervisor didnt want to tell
              the dad that his was incompetent at cable punching. Eventually
              they discovered he was colorblind and couldnt read the colored
              wiring map or see the wires correctly, so nothing was connected
              correctly.
              \_ the kid says the whole thing is shinanigan because his
                 girlfriend can't do the job either. Since he and his
                 girlfriend are perfectly normal people, it's impossible,
                 or at best improbable. he calls it shinanigans!

9/18    Tonight I think I finally can consider myself middle-aged. I'm in
        my 30s and I am on travel for business without the wife. She is
        probably in the top 10% of women her age in terms of looks and I
        am not bad, but probably not as good-looking as she is. I went to
        a dance club tonight for the first time in a long time and had the
        following experience/revelations:
        1) Holy shit are 21 year old women hot! Like I said, my wife is
           actually very attractive, but there are some things that can
           only come with youth. I'm not ready to throw my wife to the
           curb, but every single girl was thin, wearing something short
           and revealing, and looked good in it! Even the guys were all
           thin. Not a single potbelly in the bunch. Not quite like being
           at work among aging engineers. What a revelation. Makes me want
           to hit the gym.
        2) I am still cool enough that I found this club within a few
           months of its opening. Cooler still, the bouncers sized me up
           and let me through without a cover. I was afraid they'd look at
           the old guy and give me a hard time. Cool doesn't have an age.
        3) I am now the old guy on the dance floor who hits on all the
           young girls. Okay, I didn't hit on anyone. However, I am that
           guy. How do I know this? Even though a lot of girls seemed to
           have fun dancing with me (and one - I would say the hottest in
           the club - a blonde wearing red short shorts with fishnets -
           sought me out several times and offered me her business card) I
           officially passed into middle age when this young Mexican kid
           tapped me on the shoulder and, graciously, offered to teach me
           how to dance. He was showing me the steps. One, I was too drunk
           to follow. Two, I didn't need his help. I am not a great
           dancer, but I saw other guys dancing and I did no worse. At
           least I was out there with the asses of young women grinding
           against me. I'd say 7 of 10 young guys just stood and watched.
           Still, it was sobering.
        4) MOST WOMEN CANNOT DANCE. They are half-naked and shake their
           asses, which guys like, but if you actually watch them they
           have no idea how to move. I only saw ONE woman who could
           actually dance and was probably a dancer. Guys get a rap as
           being bad dancers, but the reality is that women are held to a
           lower standard because they go out there together and have fun
           and look sexy doing it. However, those women would look sexy
           taking a dump. They can't dance. Swaying on their heels and
           squealing while shaking their asses is not dancing.
        \_ I had a co-worker who kept telling me how much he loved his wife
           and kids. But he spends 1/2 of the time at night and on weekends
           playing World of Warcraft. If you can't see any parallel between
           you and this co-worker, I suggest you look into the mirror more.
           For your own good, I hope you get past the denial stage.
           \_ If I spent 1/2 of my time out at bars and clubs w/o my wife
              maybe you'd have a point.
              \_ temptation is a good starting point.
        \_ You're pathetic. Very soon you'll be wondering how you wasted
           your time working for somebody else and have an early mid-life
           crises.
           \_ And you are above it all because why?
              \_ It's simple-- because I'm not you.
        \_ That's a lot of words to convey the concept of "I'm a loser."
           \_ All you have to do is post to the MOTD to prove that.
        \_ do your experiences make you wish you had been more charitable
           to people in your situation long ago when you were 21?
           \_ Who says I wasn't?
        \_ this whole exchange is very entertaining!
           \_ not really. I just hope I don't turn into the op. What
              a fucking loser.
              \_ I know, isn't that awesome?  It's that crawly feeling;
                 it's psychological horror!  Hard to write intentionally
                 btw.  Learn to savor all experiences!  -brain
              \_ I'm sure you are just so cool, like most CS geeks on soda.
                 I have a nice life. I don't consider myself a loser. A
                 loser would be being 50 and single and still trying to
                 pick up chicks half my age and existing on a steady diet
                 of Internet porn and strip clubs. How old are you?
                 \_ l.o.s.e.r.
        \_ You are as old as you think you are, so if you think you are middle
           aged join the club. When I was in the mid-30s I was going to Burning
           Man and dating 21 year olds, but if I can see how a wife, mortgage
           and kids can make you feel old. I have all those things and am in
           my mid-40's and definitely feel middle aged. You should take care
           of yourself now, so you don't turn into a fat out of shape bastard.
           It is easier if you start now, rather than after you already have
           a gut. Going to clubs and getting drunk in a strange city can be
           kind of dangerous, especially if you are still young enough for
           the hotties to hit on you, but you probably already know that.
           \_ very positive advice for motd.  You must be new!!
              \_ Almost 20 years now. Wow, hard to imagine.
           \_ I've had a mortgage since I was 28 and a wife since even before
              then so I haven't been doing a lot of that nightclub/bar scene
              stuff for a long time except occasionally when the wife and I go
              out and you know how that dynamic can be. If I even look at a
              girl my wife gets mad. It was nice to go out and have fun and
              check out some hotties like I used to. I'm married, not dead.
              Sounds like you just settled down later but ended up in the same
              place. Most normal people do. I don't regret my choices. I
              have single friends (some never married and some divorced) and
              they seem miserable.
              \_ I am kind of curious, did you wear your wedding ring to the
                 club?
                 \_ No. I didn't even bring it. I don't wear it. I dislike
                    jewelry of any kind, even watches. I will wear it (and
                    a watch and maybe cufflinks) to formal events only. I only
                    have one because it's a tradition.
                    \_ the pp asked a yes/no question, not some long winded sorry

                       \_ Yeah, but at least he didn't take it off before
                          he went dancing. I wear my wedding ring and I always
                          wonder how women would react differently to me if I
                          took it off, but I (wisely, I think) always leave it
                          on. Especially if I am going to be out drinking with
                          the guys.

           you do not belong on the dance floor.  get with the program.
           \_ exactly. the op is a total loser and fails to see why, which
              makes him an even bigger uber loser. P.S. he sounds like he
              isn't getting enough. how pathetic.
              \_ I don't think he is a loser for anything he has done, except
                 maybe the posting to the motd part. And it sparked the most
                 interesting discussion in months, so that is cool.
              \_ Sorry, but I can't agree with this. My wife is actually
                 a dancer and dances with other men all the time in
                 performances and at her dance classes. Sometimes they
                 get sleazy and she has to put them in line. However, dancing
                 is fun. I can't forbid her from dancing nor do I think it's
                 wrong. How puritanical. If you think that because you are
                 married you can't dance with other partners then you are
                 living under a rock. I didn't go home with anyone or even put
                 my hands where they didn't belong. My wife isn't going to
                 leave me because I went dancing. In fact, I told her where I
                 was headed (via phone) before I went so that someone would
                 know. Would she get pissed if she knew all the details? Maybe.
                 She gets jealous. She doesn't tell me about all the guys
                 who hit on her when she's out with her friends either
                 (which I know happens because I had to go down to a
                 lounge and put some guy in line once when she called me
                 to come get her) for good reason. Some details are best
                 not shared. That doesn't mean it's wrong. She won't and
                 shouldn't share a play-by-play with me about sex with her
                 ex-boyfriends for the same reasons and that's in the past.
        \_ why do you invite the judgement of soda?  It's just confusing.
                                 \- this post is like the Kalliste Apple
           \_ Entertainment and, to some extent, to pass along a real life
              experience. People don't tend to talk about this shit except
              with a close circle of their (probably like-minded) friends.
              It's fun to exchange experiences. Judgements from guys posting
              to MOTD don't concern me too much.
              \_ Why of course, you have no friends, like most of the
                 luzers on CSUA.
                 \_ He is just bragging.
              \_ interesting.  I think most of the MOTD posters have lives
                 made intentionally dull by their severe judgementalism.
                 We used to have all kinds of zany people on wall/motd but as
                 they got more freaky / experimental, they all got sick
                 of this provincialism and abandoned soda...

9/8     I am looking for a job. Any suggestions where to apply? I'm completing
        an internship at Facebook. Resume available upon request. --toulouse
        \_ Learn to indent. Tab = 4 spaces.
           Zuckerberg is an asshole. Good luck.
       \_ Speak for yourself. http://soda.berkeley.edu/~toulouse/screen.png
          less displays tabs as 8 characters.
          \_ No dumbass. Tab SHOULD be 8 spaces. Has been since 1970. Thanks
             to Microfuckingsoft, 4 spaces became more popular.
        \_ My suggestion is Twitter, if you want to work hard, learn a lot
           and possibly strike it rich. You can also ask me about jobs at
           CBS Interactive (CNET), I like it here and you might, too.
           Are you programmer or sysadmin? -ausman
           \_ Programmer, but amateur sysadmin on my own time. I'll be applying
              to twitter of course, but I would like to know about CBSi. Thanks.
        \_ Are you good academically? I suspect you're asking here because
           it's not so hot. If so, I suggest you move out of Northern Cal.
           There will be a lot less competition, and a lot greater needs
           for talented University Grad person such as you. Places like
           Los Angeles are full of cal state-certified IT consultants.
           You can be a big star there, plus there are actually women
           there that you can actually date. Small pond, big fish. That's
           where you want to be at yesss?
           \_ No. I'm asking because my family is bankrupt. Jesus. --toulouse
           \_ If you can't find a date in the SF Bay Area then you will
              *really* have a problem in the LA area, where women tend
              more to have a sense of entitlement and inflated sense of
              self-worth. I had a lot more dates in the Bay Area and found
              the women to be more genuine and friendly. Women in LA are
              more attractive, but good luck finding one to date you
              unless you are very rich or very handsome. If you have an
              edge (in a band that books gigs and have lots of tattoos or
              similar) you *might* have a shot at Sunset Strip skanks as
              long as you don't mind they are banging other guys at the
              same time. Part of an actual conversation at an LA bar:
              Her: "What do you do for a living?"
              Me:  "I'm an engineer."
              Her: "Do you think I should be impressed with that?
                    It seems everyone's an engineer."
              \_ There are lots of cute women in LA that are pretty normal
                 and humble, but you won't find them on the Westside.
                 \_ That's for sure, but if you look anywhere else you
                    are probably going to be dating a single mom. I've
                    noticed a lot of beautiful women in LA are still
                    single into their 40s and it's because they are
                    high-maintenance and shallow and men use them and dump
                    them when they reach Four Oh. They complain they can't
                    find any good men, but the number one thing on their
                    mind is money and number two is looks. That's probably
                    true of women everywhere, but in LA it's so overt and
                    women never give up hope of landing their own George
                    Clooney until they reach 50. If you want to date
                    cougars it might be a good place.
                    \_ Stop trying to date beautiful high-maintenance women,
                       just go for the normal ones. Admittedly, they are bit
                       harder to find in LA, but they exist.
                       \_ So I should date hard-to-find women who are less
                          attractive. Doesn't that prove my point about LA
                          versus SF?
                          \_ Perhaps, but you have no idea how tough the
                             dating situation is for single guys in Silicon
                             Valley. It is much worse than anyplace in LA.
                             When did you date in the Bay Area? When you were
                             in college?
                             \_ Move north a bit.  Dating in SF isn't hard.
                                \_ Sure. But it is not hard in The San Fernando
                                   Valley either.
                                   \_ Yes. Valley Girls don't have a reputation
                                      for being snobby princesses. LOL. I've
                                      found a lot of very pretty Latina
                                      girls date beneath them, but sadly
                                      it is because they aren't too bright.
                                      There was one girl I knew who I swear to
                                      God looked like Cindy Crawford. She
                                      worked at a spa and all the women envied
                                      her and the men lusted for her. She got
                                      knocked up by some lowlife Mexican guy
                                      who didn't even marry her. She could
                                      have had any guy she wanted.
                                      \_ Do you actually know anyone from the
                                         San Fernando Valley?
                                         \_ Yes. Encino. Sherman Oaks.
                                            Studio City. Woodland Hills. You?
                             \_ Actually, I do a lot of travel to the Bay
                                Area. I find it easy to approach women there.
                                I guess you are referring to the terrible
                                ratio of men to women in Silicon Valley. That
                                definitely hurts. However, last time I was in
                                San Jose I met two different women at
                                Santana Row of all places and I wasn't even
                                trying to pick anyone up. However, one
                                thing that may have worked for me was that
                                I said I was from LA and that instantly
                                made me more 'exotic'. I also met a really
                                gorgeous out-of-my-league woman at a jazz
                                club in SF the trip before who I went out
                                with every night of my trip and who would've
                                told me to buzz off in LA. Trip before
                                that I met this flapper girl at a Halloween
                                party in Monterey. There are some women in
                                LA who don't have their heads up their asses.
                                However, in general, I think women almost
                                anywhere else are more approachable than those
                                in LA. Only NYC rivals LA in terms of the
                                number of stuck-up and unfriendly women, in my
                                experience. I found the Pacific Northwest
                                to have a lot of really pretty girls who
                                are friendly and want to talk to you even
                                if you aren't a gazillionaire male model.
                                \_ I said I was looking for jobs, not blowjobs.
                                   \_ A blowjob might improive your confidence.
                                   \_ A blowjob might improve your confidence.
                                      Certainly jobs and blowjobs are
                                      intimately connected.

           and others 100% correct, but I don't sense misogyny here. There
           is some maybe in the comments, but not the original article.
           For instance, the present of tattoos (or not) is not misogynistic.

            "We live in such a degenerate time that being a prostitute
            is seen as an "empowering" thing for women" ... which is true
            for only a tiny fraction of SF liberals.  He needs to move out
            of berkeley.  Or maybe not; I think a lot of zany people like
            living in berkeley because it gives them license to rail against

7/15    Quasi Science Question:
        Anyone have a theory on why there seem to be a high concentration
        of super hot chicks in the middle of nowhere, america?
        \_ there isn't actually.  Your premise is flawed.  I've seen tons
           of fat, poorly-aging people in the midwest.  Take a trip to Orlando
           where all the tourists go if you want to see a sampling of "real
           America" and what its people look like.
           \_ think OP means "young"
           \_ I wouldn't call Orlando "middle of nowhere, america." They have
              their own professional sports franchise.
              \_ the tourists in Orlando are not from Orlando!  That's how
                 "tourists" work you see.  They are on vacation.  From
                 somewhere else.  And the ones from the middle of nowhere
                 go somewhere shitty and commercial, like Orlando, or Vegas.
           \_ If you want to be scared, go to Sizzler in Milwaukee.  -tom
        \_ why don't you just leave CA if you hate it here so much.  Leave,
           traitor!
           \_ you've never been to yreka or places like that huh.
        \_ Because many guys rushed to the Silicon valley to jump into the
           high-tech bubble?
        \_ Women in the middle of nowhere have to rely on their looks more
           because they are not career-oriented, so their "survival"
           depends a lot more on finding a guy who will marry them.
           \_ Don't know if this is true, but it's a pretty good theory. -- !OP
           \_ this happens in Cities too, look at all the marketing chicks
              swarm to gyms.  Attractiveness sells.

                    \_ They grow up to be super hot chicks too?
                    \_ they produce really attractive beings for
                       further reproduction. they're also more pure, genetically
                       and healthier because they don't have as much pollutants
                       as the people in San Francisco. They're also taller,
                       whiter, blonder, and more attractive in general.
                       \_ You should just advocate Eugenics.

        \_ Is this a coded way to talk about race?
           \_ No, I think this is a coded way to talk about red states vs.
              blue states. Or more specifically, rural vs. urban.
              blue states. Or more precisely, rural vs. urban.
              \_ counties, not states.  Drive around CA !Frisco !LA.

                          talking about individual cases here, but the
                          aggregate average over pop.
                          \_ Rich people, in general, are better looking than
                             poor people. It is left as an excercise for the
                             reader to figure out why. Places with lots of
                             poor people, like Bakersfield, are not full of
                             of good looking people.
                             \_ You will find more attractive women in poor
                                Louisiana or Texas than in rich San Jose.
                                \_ There are a lot of attractive men in Little
                                   India, Sunnyvale. What you say to that?
                                   \_ I am guessing those men moved there
                                      from somewhere else.
        \_ Women in those places, like Texas, tend to care more about how
           they look and dress. Along the East coast and mid-Atlantic
           you have overachieving women who act like men and wear no makeup.
           On the West coast women are more casual in their dress and
           appearance. Only in-between do women dress and act like men
           expect women to (in a stereotypical way). Women in the South and
           Texas won't even leave the house without doing their hair.
      \_ At least if you live somewhere that gets really hot and humid
         in the summer, the sun dresses come out.  In the bay area,
         everyone wears the same thing every day all year
           \_ Yeah, I lived in The South for three years. The women there
              all dress like high class hookers.

7/15    Anyone else think Twitter is incredibly stupid and that people over
        age 40 who use it, Facebook, and who text message incessantly (versus
        a, I dunno, phone call - hate calling someone and getting a text
        back) are trying to recapture lost youth and seem hip in some way?
        My sister-in-law does all of the above, even going so far as to
        text her kid while she is away. I asked if she has called. She
        hasn't, but "R U OK?" is considered checking in with your kid? I
        would be offended if my mom did that. These things have their
        place, but should not supplant traditional interaction in person
        or, if need be, telephone. 1000 Facebook friends and yet no one
        will fly out to visit. What kind of friends are those? People are
        losing sight of what makes a relationship. Twittering that you
        just got your favorite candy is, absent other contact, ridiculous.
        \_ most people I know who use Facebook don't consider a "Facebook
           friend" the same as a real "friend."  So maybe the problem is your
           expectation.  Also nothing reeks of getting old like the fear of
           getting old...
           \_ If a "Facebook friend" isn't a "real friend" then what's the
              point? You are wasting time with your Facebook friends you
              could be spending with real people. However, in my experience
              I see a lot of people stay in contact with "real friends"
              via Facebook. However, it's not meaningful contact.
              \_ settle down there tiger.  I have tons of real friends.  I just
                 have more "friends" on Facebook.  And people who do a lot of
                 Facebooking (that I know anyway) definitely do something
                 similar.  It's just a communication medium, it doesn't have

7/14    Every once in a while, the woman becomes a TOTAL BITCH and starts
        to bitch and whine about every little thing about you and is trying
        to pick a fight. What the hell do you guys do when the bitch becomes
        a total bitch?
        \_ logic and defense will only take you so far.  Just realise that
           not everything is about you and be okay with it.  Maybe it's
           brain chemicals.  Maybe she didn't eat well today.  Maybe it's
           that time of the month.  Maybe people were mean to her today.
           Maybe the potholder she's looking at reminds her of when her
           cat died when she was eight.  It has nothing to do with you.
           I also like the technique of apologizing for things which
           logically couldn't possibly be your fault.  Use sparingly or
           you will be accused of being patronizing.  These techniques
           will work on anyone, not just your lady.
        \_ I usually talk it out.  I tend to defend myself and my position and
           when she is right, I take it to heart and try and change my habits
           so that it won't be an issue in the beginning.  If she is just being
           unreasonable I tell her and then grovel until it blows over.  I don't
           have the best success with women though :) In the best relationships
           I've had I just had to lick the clit.  But all women aren't like men,
           some want you to prove yourself.
           \_ You "had to" lick the clit?  In my relationship I have to behave
              really well before I *get to* lick my wife's clit.
              \_ That is why I said best relationships!
           \_ you can't REASON with the bitch. That's the whole point of
              the post "there's not much I can do, what do YOU do?"
        \_ I take off and go for a long walk. I only have to do this a few
           times a year, but it is better than a pointless argument. Not sure
           this is the best answer, but it is better than what I learned from
           my (divorced) parents, which is to have screaming fights that
           eventually turned physical.

7/9     Anyone here ever dated a psycho bitch who also just happened to be
        stripper hot and a nympho to boot? I recently met such a girl and
        if not for the mindblowing and frequent sex I'd run away screaming,
        because she is so mean and irritable. I want to have fun while it
        lasts, but will this end up badly? Like, my bunny boiled or worse?
        Steve McNair's death got me thinking maybe playing with fire gets
        you burned. On the other hand, I am having so much fun! What are
        the odds in my favor?
        \_ her clock is ticking and that is what drives her to have a lot
           of sex. She wants the sperm from the guy who is good looking,
           but wants a more stable income from a sucker like Soda geeks.
        \_ don't have an advice but I hope you're having SAFE sex

                    not the only guy. In fact, I know I there's at least one
                    other. Why should that worry me? That's the least of
                    my worries.
                    \_ For me, I can't stand sharing my woman with someone.
                       It's worse than not having this woman at all.  -- PP
                       \_ She's not "my woman". Like I said, if not for the
                          sex I'd probably be gone already because she acts
                          like she's PMSing 100% of the time. I don't think
                          either of us is thinking LTR here. She was very
                          upfront about being with this other guy and didn't
                          try to hide it.

5/22    I just wanted to give a big thank you to the guy who warned me

        This is probably small comfort to him, but when my wife started
        campaigning for kid #2, I drug my feet for various reasons. Finally
        she asked me why I didn't want another kid and I told her that I
        was afraid our sex life would suffer. She promised me that it would
        not. Predictably enough, we are now exhausted taking care of two
        children, but whenever she tells me she is too tired to put out,
        I remind her of her promise and she almost always relents. So all

5/17    Has anyone else noticed that today's teenaged girls are freakishly
        tall? The stats may not bear that out because of changing demographics
        in this nation (influx of shorter peoples) but even traditionally
        short races like Asian are taller than they were. Today I noticed
        at least 4 girls over 6' tall at the grocery store (two different
        stores) doing shopping with their dads. (I guessed these women were
        about 20 when I first saw them until dear old dad came over to add
        something to the cart.) So they may be 6'+ and still growing. I noticed
        this with female athletes, too. Before, bigger female athletes were
        bulky and looked roided up but now women are large but with a more
        normal (proportionate or even skinny) physique. What's odd is that
        I don't notice the boys being any larger than before, except in
        races that were traditionally shorter like Asians. What's going on
        \_ girls aren't taller.  you're just old.  there is plenty of porn
           out there for you involving short guys and gigantic women
        \_ It's awesome.  More to see with the short miniskirts and kneehigh
           boots that are supposed to be in this year.  Oh wait, you live in
           the U.S.  Nevermind.  Sorry.  -John
        \_ boys are larger, Asian or not. 6'4" is like normal now for a
           20 year old Caucasian boy.
           \_ I don't think that's true. I am fairly tall myself and I notice
              when men are taller than I am (like 6'2" and taller). I think
              men are taller than they were (compared to my dad at 5'9")
              but I don't see that many Caucasian guys over 6'1" in *this*
              country (USA). In fact, people still refer to me as tall and
              I never thought I was anything but average or an inch over.
        such that we are breeding these Amazon women over the last 20 years?
        My sister is 5'8" and that was considered model tall when she was
        young (and she did model) and now I hear it's tough to model if you
        are under 6 feet. With the way girls now give out blowjobs as a way to
        test if you are boyfriend-worthy (instead of 4 years into a marriage)
        I feel like I was born too early, damn it. However, I am genuinely
        interested in the factors making so many large women.
        \_ Is this a "damnit I'm not getting laid because I'm short" post?
           If it is... yeah, Darwin say you're out of luck.
           \_ Getting laid, but not by such tall women because women my age
              just aren't that tall in most cases. It's a "not getting
              laid by leggy blondes because I am too old, but would have
              had I been born in 1988" post.

        \_ Most of the men profiled in that article reek of Asperger's.
         \_ No, they smell like overpaid narcisists.
            \_ Check out "Sam."
             \_ Nope.  Do you actually know anything about Asperger's
                beyond every geek on the net's self diagnosis?
        \_ Page 4 of 7: '... one-quarter of the site's sugar daddies
           (including married ones) are looking for male 'babies' ..."
           Wow!  I didn't know % of gays among rich males are that high.
           \_ I'm sure if you put your thinking cap on for just a second,
              you can come up with a few good reasons why that may not be
              a valid conclusion.
           \_ Gays tend to have higher incomes than straights.
              \_ If gay people ran the world, there would be less wars,
                 useless regime changes, and empty Mission Accomplished.
           \_ Old straight guys have less problem attracting young women
              without having to pay for it. BK is pathetic, btw.
              \_ Uh, they'll likely be paying for it, whether through formal
                 arrangement or otherwise.
                 \_ Uh, why do old straight men have an easier time time dating
                    younger women than old gay guys have dating young men?
                    Young gay men don't want money?
                 \_ This still doesn't explain the difference between the
                    dating prospects of older straight guys vs. older gay
                    guys. Young gay men don't like money?
                    \_ I said nothing about that. Homosexuality still has a
                       stigma attached to it, and rich gay men are less
                       likely to be openly propositioning young men. The
                       relative anonymity a website like this affords
                       can therefore be attractive.
                       \_ That can be true also. But it is still easier for
                          an older (maybe I should say middle aged) straight
                          guy to date a woman in her 20s than for a gay guy
                          to have a similar arrangement. Though maybe this is
                          just because of the fact that the straight couple
                          can get married -- paying for it otherwise -- in your
                          words.
                          \_ No, I meant the older guy will be shelling out
                             plenty (fancy restaurants, gifts, etc.) whether
                             or not he pays the woman a formal stipend or
                             whatever you want to call it.
                             \_ So you still have not explained why this does
                                not happen as much in the gay community.
                                \_ Happens all the time from what I can tell.
                                   My neighbors are gay and I go to a lot
                                   of their parties. The older, rich guy with
                                   the younger, hot companion who works as a
                                   personal trainer or hair stylist is a pretty
                                   common scenario.
                                   \_ I just realized that there is an
                                      alternative explaination and that is that
                                      there is more demand from older gay men
                                      for young guys than the similar
                                      arrangement in the straight world.
                                      Marraige explains this pretty well, since
                                      older married guys are less likely to
                                      philander.
                                      \_ Don't know many older married
                                         guys do you?  Especially of the
                                         rich asshole variety.

3/30    a girl i went to a party with on saturday got really drunk
        and whispered to me 'I REALLY LIKE SEX'.  I ignored her
        because my hemorrhoid was angry.  What should I have done?
        \_ Your hemorrhoid (sp?) saved you from a moral fault.  It's
           unethical to have sex with a person who's incapable of
           consent.  However, now you know she likes sex.  So,
           invite her non-drunk ass "over for a movie".
           \_ Thanks motd ethic guy!
        \_ Take her to the SF Yoga place a few threads down.
        \_ I thought one taste was women only
        \_ 1/3-2/3 of girls really like sex. She was drunk and stated a fact.
         \_ Your numbers are low.
            \_ Too high. Number is more like 2%.
               \_ troll much?
               \_ You have had sex with 50 women and only one of them
                  liked it? Maybe the problem is not with the women..
                  \_ I doubt he's had sex with 50 women.
                  \_ Or maybe it is:
                     "A recent study conducted by Laumann and colleagues
                      and the University of Chicago) of American women
                      (ages 18-59) found that the most common sexual
                      problem in women is hypoactive sexual desire
                      disorder (HSDD), more commonly referred to as low sex
                      drive or libido (33.4%), followed by difficulty with
                      orgasm (24.1%) [and] [P]ain during intercourse --
                      which occurs in 14.4% of women." Only 33% of women
                      think about sex 2-3 times a week or more. These are
                      people responding to a survey. I would bet $1M that
                      the real numbers are even worse given the prevalence
                      of "no sex after marriage" jokes and how strip clubs
                      and hookers seem to do great business among married
                      men. Only 32% of men rate their sex lives as "very
                      satisfied" whereas 46% of women say so. It's pretty
                      clear that women are pretty happy with the status
                      quo while men want more sex. I really doubt very
                      many women want more sex. I read that 2% of women
                      report wanting to have sex more than 1x per day
                      versus, probably, 98% of men. So this slut is in the
                      2%. I hope you don't catch a disease.
                        \_ I'm known plenty of women with a low sex drive
                           and/or "difficulty with orgasm" who quite enjoy
                           sex.  Doubly so when they have been drinking.
                           \_ Triply so once they have passed out I'm sure.
                            \_ If you don't understand the difference
                               between have been drinking and drunk to
                               the point where consent is blurry
                               (which is well after the first and well
                               before passed out), well, it's no wonder
                            \_ If you don't understand the huge lines
                               between "have been drinking",  "drunk
                               to the point where consent is blurry"
                               and "passed out", well, it's no wonder
                               you also think most women hate sex.
                        \_ Why are you calling her a slut?  So what if
                           she likes sex?  Take your double standard
                           and shove it.
                           \_ Isn't a slut a woman who likes a lot of sex?
                              It's not really derogatory in this context.
                           \_ Isn't a slut an easy woman who likes a lot of sex?
                              She sure sounds like a slut given her behavior.
                           \_ Isn't a slut an easy woman who likes a lot of
                              sex? She sure sounds like a slut given her

                              \_ No, a slut would be a person who has sex

                                 \_ Does she sound discriminating to you?
                                    \_ I'm arguing the semantics.  Liking sex
                                       is not equivalent to, or even
                                       particularly related to, being slutty.

                                 that do.

                                 \_ Yep. I prefer the term "libertine", since
                                    it sounds kinda cool. But it's probably
                                    still slightly pejorative. I guess the
                                    least pejorative term for such a woman is
                                    "empowered".
                                    \_ Why do you need a term for it?  There's
                                       nothing unusual about enjoying sex. -tom
                      \_ Hyperbole doesn't really help you make your case.
                         You think that 98% of men aged 18-59 want sex more
                         than once a day? I would take your $1M in a minute,
                         btw, as this survey seems about right to me. There
                         is a huge difference between 32% and 2%, you know.
                         \_ and 32% fits right in my 1/3-2/3 range. YMMV.
                         \_ 32% of men are satisfied, which means 68% are not.
                            I'm not sure what point you are making here. Mine
                            was that lots of women do not think about sex,
                            do not enjoy sex, and even find it painful and
                            at the same time rate their sex life as
                            satisfactory. In other words, they are very
                            happy with the status quo, which involves very
                            little sex (can't possibly be a lot if you
                            only *THINK* about it 2-3x per week). The men
                            are pretty unhappy with this arrangement. I
                            think you can reasonably say that men enjoy
                            sex more and that women are fairly happy
                            having it infrequently. It's biology. Most
                            women only get horny a few times per month,
                            although the pill has screwed many women up so
                            badly who knows what their biology is like.

        \_ I dated a magician's assistant. She was delightful. Some of them,
           however, are really just interested in getting on stage, which
           makes them a bit too keen for attention off-stage.
           \_ Do they sleep around a lot? Like cheerleaders with basketball
              players? I heard basketball players sleep around A LOT and
              they don't even need to try. Something about taller men and

                    \_ Not sure how funny this is. I've never been approached
                       by a working girl. Why would one think to approach an
                       8th grader? How would you pay her? Why do hookers make a
                       habit of approaching you? (i.e. "first time")
                       \_ This may not quite explain things, but I think she
                          thought I was a senior in high school. Who knows
                          where the money would have come from. As for the

                          \_ I'd like to think it's because I don't have
                             an air of sexual desperation, but your seedy
                             area probably explains all.

        \_ most _performers_ have easy access to beautiful women!  However
            dating performers has its own issues, as alluded to in the previous
            response.
        \_ You do realize these women are paid for this, right? It's easy
           to be surrounded by beautiful women if you pay to do so. That
           doesn't mean he is dating them, although it could happen. It's
           like being a fashion photographer or a movie producer. You pay
           beautiful women to work for you.
           \_ doctors have easy access to nurses. Now, whether they really
              want to or not (since most nurses are old hags) is another story
        \_ Twins are often used by illusionists so not only do they have
           access to hot women, they have access to hot twins. David

3/26    I've never been to Hawaii before, but I just booked a flight to
        Kauai for me and my gf (who has been to Oahu). I'd like some
        travel advice. Which side of the island to stay on, what not to
        miss, etc.
        \_ There's not a huge amount of choice as to "where to stay",
           it's a small island.  Shell out the $$$$ for a helicopter
           ride over the island.  Drive as far around the island as
           you can, too.  I wasn't able to do much hiking 'cause of
           my girlfriend at the time, but I wish I had.  You prob.
           don't need more than 3 days on a single island:  consider
           a flight to The Big Island, which has awesome volcanos if
           you are there for more than 3 days.  Inter-island flights
           run between $100 to $150.  For stuff more specific than
           that, just look in guidebooks.
           \_ Hawaiian tourist helicopters crash and burn at an alarming
              rate.  The pilots tend to be yahoos.  My friends took a
              flight for their first anniversary.  The pilot crashed it,
              and everyone died except my friend, who stayed alive in
              the wreckage with her dead husband until rescuers arrived.
              Being pinned under the wreckage is what was keeping her
              alive, as it turns out.  When the moved stuff, she died.
              Helicopters are statistically the most unsafe way to fly
              with an engine.  That doesn't stop me from heli-skiing,
              but in that activity the chopper is just a ski lift.  The
              pilots don't fly you around to thrill you with the ride
              like those hawaiian tourist rides.
              \_ Man, I'm sorry to hear about your friend and her
                 husband.
           \_ Actually, there's a massive amount of choice in where to
              stay. Megaresorts, small cottages, condos, private houses,
              budget motels, and so on. Then there's the question of which
              side of the island to stay on. If you are up in Hanalei then
              it's a long (2-3 hour) drive to Waimea. So I'm looking for
              someone who has been who can tell me if I should split the
              distance between the two or if more activities are
              concentrated in one area, etc.
              \_ Resorts vs. not would be up to you if you want those hotel
                 amenities or not, I think.  I think you can find better
                 locations with private rentals.  I'd get something on the
                 waterfront though.  Being up in a tall tower sucks, to me,
                 regardless of the view.
                 \_ There are no towers on Kauai.
           \_ A helicopter is good, but a light plane is better. They can
              cover more distance, which means getting into more isolated
              areas, and it's more comfortable to boot. Costs should be about
              the same for a given flight time, although you can probably get
              longer flights in a plane than a helicopter.
              \_ I am debating this. The plane is cheaper, but it cannot
                 hover or get as close to the ground. Helicopters have had
                 some bad crashes lately. I was first leaning to a plane,
                 but now a helicopter (for the reasons above). I have no
                 idea which is better w/o trying both. Have you been on both
                 for a tour like this?
        \_ Take surfing/snorkling/scuba lessons.
        \_ Wear sunscreen, especially the first day.
           \_ A very good advice
        \_ On a serious note - stay in Koloa (south side of the island) where
           it is less rainy than the Princeville (north of the island) and
           Lihue (east side of the island). My wife and I married in the Koloa
           area - PLENTY of cheap but good condo (for $120/nite or less), and a
           lot quieter. Don't expect Kauai to have much of a nightlife like
           Maui (Lahaina) or Oahu (Waikiki), it is a family island (and the
           locals would like to keep it that way). Stay, enjoy the sceneries
           and behave! Check out NaPali coast (either via helicopter if you're
           brave, from a bumpy boat ride or by hiking - it's 2 day worth of
           hiking). Check out Duane's Ono Char-burger place, an island
           institution. Go get the "Blue Book" on Kauai, we swear by it
           everytime we go.

3/3     Why smart people can't find dates:
        http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-alex-benzer/why-the-smartest-people-h_b_169939.html
        \_ Wow, that's even more stinker crap than that ladder poop people
           keep flinging around.
           \_ You can debate how original the "ladder theory" is, and there is
              some chain yanking, but the basic idea that a lot of people have
              trouble finding people to date because they are "overshooting"
              their prospects is accurate, in my reading of single women I know
              in San Francisco.
              \_ Considering the ladder theory starts with "the only
                 really important thing is how rich and powerful a man
                 is" and goes downhill from there...
              \_ The ladder theory starts with the premise that women are
                 all golddiggers at heart and goes downhill from there...
                 \_ That falls under the chain-yanking, as does "and all
                    men care about are looks/putting out".  Here are two
                    specific examples of two women I know in San Francisco
                    who have been single for a long time, are keen to be in
                    relationships and are not scary trolls:
                    woman1: has a degree in an unemployable field from
                    Stanford and works at a not especially well-paying
                    office job, is moderately interested in pop culture and
                    sports but is a little chubby and a lousy dresser, but
                    has a reasonably strong personality, sang with a amateur
                    band etc. If she went after the typical soda software
                    engineer, she'd be with a guy making decent money whom
                    she could probably dominate in a relationship.  But her
                    self-professed type is "the frat boy." (I joke that in
                    her book "a baseball cap is good, and a backward baseball
                    cap is *really* good).  But she probably cant bring her-
                    self to date a dumb, blue collar, right-wing good-looking
                    guy. So as long as she is after a Marina-boy who works at
                    law firm, she's out of her league.
                    woman2: also well-educated -- Columbia MBA -- decent-
                    looking [better than woman1], but terrible dresser and
                    somewhat unusual personality (somewhat stridently left-
                    wing, but also occasionally Sex and the City party girl),
                    and a higher-status job, but not ultra-successful. Goes
                    to the gym a fair amount, skis, so in shape, but not a
                    Marina Spandex Girl.  Has gone on many, many internet
                    dates but doesn't come to anything solid.  She is clearly
                    most interested in a guy who is tall, doesn't have to be
                    amazingly attractive, but decent looking and in decent
                    shape.  That is all reasonable, but I get the sense that
                    her idea of success is unrealistic:  doctor, lawyer,
                    banker, successful business type etc. At the age group
                    she is looking in, and *in SF*, these people are likely
                    to be married, quite high net worth etc.  Between her
                    personality and her dressing, they statistically too
                    personality and her dressing, they statistically not too
                    likely to get to know her.
                    The over-reaching in a combination of success and looks
                    is s a pretty decent explanation of these two cases.
                    is a pretty decent explanation of these two cases.
                    \_ Maybe, maybe not. You seem to think that a good-looking
                       Marina lawyer is above these women because he's busy
                       seeing some tall, blonde cardiologist. I agree with
                       the premise that people who are too-picky wind up
                       alone, but I disagree with the idea that these
                       uber-successful men are in turn: 1) such a great
                       catch (they can be jackasses like anyone else) and 2)
                       not interested in women like these because they can
                       date 21 year old cardiologist supermodels. The main
                       thing these women seem to be doing wrong is
                       dressing poorly. It's bad for a man, but the kiss
                       of death for women. A makeover is in order. I don't
                       think their "success levels" matter too much because
                       these are both highly educated and intelligent career
                       women. You are making them out like they work at
                       McDonald's while going to night school. They are in
                       the right socioeconomic group - Stanford and Columbia
                       fit right in those circles. You sound bitter that
                       they aren't interested in *you*, but why would a
                       woman like that want to date a pudgy s/w engineer
                       with no social skills?
                       \_ First, my comments are descriptive not prescriptive:
                          it's not a matter of whether the should change plans,
                          I am just describing what the are doing.
                          Second, woman2 is significantly more successful than
                          woman1 -- there is a big difference in discretionary
                          income between somebody who makes say $70k a year
                          (which I doubt #1 makes) and even a modest $100-120k
                          a year, and I think women are pretty averse to
                          subsidizing vacation and dining for their significant
                          others. Third, among people say above 35, a
                          significant number of the available men are married
                          and a reasonable number od the women are factoring
                          and a reasonable number of the women are factoring
                          biological clock issues, or are post-divorce, which
                          also affects the pool.  Fourth, dressing is part of
                          it but in the case of w1, being chubby is a big issue
                          and w2 also has some personality factors when it
                          comes to "putting herself out there".  Fifth, I was
                          never interested in w1.  There was a bunch of talk
                          in a social group and me and w2 and we went out a
                          couple of times, but untimately I think it was a good
                          thing I am not going out with her -- I am actually
                          going out with a different Stanford person who would
                          probably be considered a hotter commodity, so this
                          isn't sour grapes.
                          \_ Sounds prescriptive. You spent a lot of time
                             analyzing the situation. My point in mentioning
                             income is that most guys pulling down $400K aren't
                             too worried about whether their mates are making
                             $70K, $120K, or $300K. If she is her own woman
                             capable of holding down a good job who has her own
                             interests (not an airhead looking for handouts)
                             and well-educated that's probably enough. You are
                             making too much of the income of these women.
                             Income matters a lot more to women when looking
                             for men. Obviously personal appearance matters,
                             but "a little chubby" isn't a big deal. Look at
                             Bill Clinton's taste in women. It sounds like you
                             are more shallow than most guys. However, if
                             they dress sloppily then that's likely their
                             biggest mistake. Put them in a hot outfit and
                             make them up and I guarantee they will get hit on
                             by more men than they care to be. As for sour
                             grapes, I don't know if it's a case where you
                             want to date these women, but you want them
                             to want to date you. It's like when the hot
                             girl gets all into you because you don't pay
                             her any attention and then once you do and
                             she's affirmed her attractiveness she wants
                             nothing to do with you. It bothers you that
                             these women don't want to date you or people
                             like you *even though* you don't want to date
                             them anyway. You think they are aiming too high.
                             To me they sound like good catches who just
                             need a makeover and possibly an attitude
                             adjustment.
                             \_ You are making a lot of guesses about me, w1
                                an w2 without first hand knowledge, so it's
                                one thing to be dubious but speculating is
                                crazy.  These are two people I've known
                                pretty well for ~5years and "men in SF",
                                internet dating (them, not me), "will I die

                                conversation with them.  Next, income affects
                                going out and other life style options.  For
                                example one owns a modest condo, the other
                                went from a roommate situation to a micro-
                                apartment which sucks up a large part of her
                                discretionary income, and does affects her
                                "going out options" which in turn in SF affects
                                who you meet.  The speculation about me wanting
                                to date them or wanting them to want me are all
                                way off so lets ignore all that.  Your last
                                line is what I am getting at:  if they had
                                an attitude and expectations adjustment, they
                                an attitude and expections adjustment, they
                                would find somebody to date very quickly
                                (but I mean that "if" predictively, not
                                prescriptively.  I think it is fine to remain
                                picky, but the outcome is going to change).
                                If fact there is almost a "control case" in
                                this social group: w3 who is an unattractive
                                quite fat woman with poor manners -- generally
                                inferior to w1, and w2 in every way except
                                possibly making more money (I dont know what
                                she makes and while she rents, she does own a
                                boat) is going out with a low-on-the-ladder
                                Pillsbury dough boy type.  If you want to get
                                into specifics, w1 and w2 have an interesting
                                "asymmetry" problem, which goes beyond the
                                "simple ladder theory" which unifies all of
                                you into a single axis.  w1 has a number of
                                nerdy elements, such as an "ironic
                                appreciation of bad movies", like party games
                                appreciation of bad movies", likes party games

                                web pages etc.  She'd do well with a geek,
                                EXCEPT she I think reviles Tolkien, computer
                                games and dweebery in guys.  W2s inconsistency
                                is wanting both a guy who is smart and
                                substantial and ideologically compatible
                                (she went to Ohio to knock on doors for Obama)
                                but will also whisk her away for the occasional
                                spa weekend in Sedona or to some trendy
                                restaurant up in Napa (she actually isn't
                                that into food, which is why I made the
                                Sex and the City comment) ... the investment

                                \_ The way you characterize these people (and
                                   others like these mythical investment
                                   bankers and Tolkien geeks) and the details
                                   you think are important about them is
                                   repulsive. No wonder they aren't into you.
                                   You sound immature, shallow, and lacking
                                   much life experience. Have you ever
                                   been in a long-term relationship with a
                                   woman? (Let's say > 5 years.) BTW, people
                                   (especially women, since men will buy their
                                   drinks/food and let them in clubs free)
                                   don't need much money to go out to meet
                                   people. Funny that you think these women
                                   are handicapped by making "only $70K/year".
                                   They could be making half that and it
                                   wouldn't matter. You sound like an elitist,
                                   too.
                                \_ If she has an Ivy League MBA, why wouldn't
                                   she want to date someone else with a similar
                                   level of education and success? It doesn't
                                   seem like she is being that unreasonable to
                                   me, actually, unless she is looking for looks
                                   money, brains *and* success, which from your
                                   description, she is not. But if she is over
                                   35, she definitely needs to fish or cut bait.
                                   me, actually, unless she is looking for

                    \_ Some women have a unrealistic expectation of how
                       lawyers live (or ought to live).  Not all of us
                       live (or like) the flashy BMW, thousand $ suit,
                       five star lifestyle.  Many of us who started out
                       as engineers remain basically the same geeky star
                       trek watching guys we were before we went to law
                       school.  For some reason many women find that
                       unacceptable.  I've gone out with women very
                       similar in general description to the ones
                       you mention, and after a few dates they start
                       mentioning things like a BWM is a much nicer
                       car than your subaru, and I'm sure you could
                       afford it, or why don't we get you some nice
                       clothes at some super high end SF store, or
                       let's go on some exotic vacation.  Its a huge
                       turn off b/c the only thing these girls are
                       interested in is upgrading their lives via
                       my paycheck.
                \_ The way I understand the "ladder theory" is that everyone
                   is trying to move up to someone higher on the attractiveness
                   ladder that supposedly everyone subscribes to. Even if they
                   are currently dating someone, they are looking for someone
                   better. Which is a bunch of BS, btw, if you are older than
                   25. Actually, it is BS in any case, because not everyone
                   has the same idea of attractiveness. I, for example, am a
                   guy how rates a woman's intellegence as the most important
                   guy who rates a woman's intellegence as the most important
                   characteristic. I know this makes me unusual, but it also
                   means I never had much of a problem finding dates.
                   This is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen:
                   "Toward A Meaning of Life
                    Convieniently, the ladder theory answers the oft asked
                    question, "What is the purpose of life?" The purpose of
                    life is to move up the ladder. The person you are with
                    now should be better (higher on your ladder) than the
                    person you were last with."

1/28    the baby borg episode of star trek:voyager is so sad!
        \_ Jeri Ryan's firm rear end gave us Obama.  God bless her.
           \_ What about the front?
           \_ How was this supposed to have come about?
           \_ I thought I rehashed this for the motd.  Jeri Ryan used to be
              married to an Illinois senator.  They had a messy divorce.
              Some of their divorce documents became public, which mentioned
              that Jeri was vastly annoyed with her husband because he would
              always try to drag her to public sex clubs and have hot
              threesomes with her in front of other people.  It became clear
              to the senator that he wasn't going to win the next election.
              It wasn't just the public sex with 7 of 9, it was a variety
              of things, but the hot sex with Jeri Ryan's while holding
              Jeri Ryan's firm buttocks in front of a crowd at Chicago's
              very best public sex clubs didn't help.  He dropped out of
              the race, Obama decided to get into the race, the Illinois
              Republican party couldn't find anyone in the entire state of
              Illinois to run against him, so they shipped in Alan Keyes
              to run against him, from another state.  You can't make this
              stuff up!
              \_ This was in the motd previously.  I just forgot about it
                 completely until you reminded me.  Sorry, my brain is
                 defective.  But thanks, also, because my defective brain
                 allowed me to enjoy the story all over again.
              \_ The sex club stuff was accusations, not proven facts AFAIK in
                 the contentious custody fight.  The records were sealed and
                 LATimes got them unsealed.
                 \_ Jeri Ryan also claims that while her husband *WANTED*
                    her to participate she did not. She's now married to
                    a chef who has a very yummy French restaurant in LA.

1/22    Celtic Women are HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT and they sing well. HOT.
        \_ I saw a version of Riverdance in Branson, Missouri that was
           full of very fit Irish women and in one dance they wore white
           and with the lights it left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
           The crowd was pretty stunned. I turned to my girlfriend and
           said "Uh, what was that?" and she confirmed. If you know
           Branson (conservative Christian Disneyland) you'd think it
           amusing. Maybe not shocking in Las Vegas, but there was a hush over
           the crowd after that. What's weird is that most Irish women are not
           attractive according to some of my Irish friends who moved here. I
           guess when they are hot they are *very* hot, though.
           \_ That's true with any race. People in the world think every
              old guy looks as good as Sean Connery and they're usually
              disappointed when they get off of LAX.
              \_ Some more than others. British women in general are not
                 as hot as Latinas, for instance. For every Liz Hurley
                 there are probably 20 good looking Venezuelans. Denmark
                 and Sweden have hotter women than Germany and Greece,
                 in general. Anyway, my point is that people think Irish
                 women look like Jennifer Connelly or Anne Hathaway (who
                 are both about 25% Irish), but most are stout and
                 unappealing (according to my Irish acquaintances, women
                 included). I think Australia also has a
                 better-than-deserved reputation as does perhaps India,
                 where Aishwarya Rai is a stunner but hardly represents
                 the typical Indian.
                 \_ you're an idiot, and likely an ugly one.
                    \_ you're ugly too, that's why your wife left you.
                 \_ Australia has a good proportion of fit, attractive people
                    though there are still plenty of corn-feds.

1/9     At what age do you start to find it boring to jerk off? At
        what age do you decrease jerking off frequently? I'll start:
        -31.5
        \_ Married 9yrs and two kids.  Haven't decreased yet.
        \_ 32-33 for me_
        \_ Married 9yrs and two kids.  Haven't decreased yet.  -- 38yr-old
        \_ Not so far. -43
        \_ I almost completely stop jerking off when I have a woman.
           \_ How often do you have sex? I stop jerking off when I have sex
              daily, but that never lasts for long.
              \_ Normally, 2x/wk.  I was, until recently, also in the habit
                 of doing much strenuous exercise, which reduces libido.
        \_ Maybe you have a medical issue.
           \_ Maybe. I don't find anything overly exciting or depressing
              anymore. I drive a lot calmer. I don't get angry or anything
              like that. I DID cut off alcohol intake completely, and
              avoiding caffeine as much as possible. I avoid lots of
              sugar, and zero soda/junk juice intake. So in a sense, I'm

                   it was common for successful men to have multiple wives.
                   \_ It is traditional.  The idea that one-man-one-woman
                      marriage is traditional was created by religious
                      fundies who fear homosexuality.  It has no basis in

              Legalizing it is a better way of regulating it than what we have
              now. Compare Amsterdam vs. SF. In which one is there less
              exploitive sex trade? Oh, I am an SF resident voting Yes on K.
              \_ So, this is my problem with it.  Legalizing and regulating
                 ala Nevada might be reasonable.  Simply having the police
                 not prosecute it seems like it would just make things worse.
                 \_ I doubt it, though I agree with you on the legalize angle.
                    \_ My thinking is basically this, decrimializing it does
                       not make it a legitimate business.  It does not
                       regulate it.  It simply allows criminals to work
                       unmolested. That really just means all the pimps and
                       thugs will go to SF to do their business.
                       \_ I don't think that decriminalizing marijuana
                          distribution increased the amount of violent crime
                          in SF, so I don't think this will either. You forget
                          that "sex tourism" is a pretty big, if often
                          unappreciated, part of the economy here. Did you

10/14   Has anyone raised chickens in an urban environment? My friend's HOA
        in SF is vague enough to allow chickens in his backyard (2 units),
        and we've been doing some reading and talking to people who have done
        this in suburban areas, but was wondering if anyone had any specific
        advice.
        \_ Each city has it's own ordinance.  For example, Oakland doesn't
           allow cocks anywhere...but hens are fine.  Also I beleive your hen
           house is suppose to be 50 ft away from your house and your neighbor's\
           fence...which is a bit difficult to do.  Check out chicken tractors
           or moveable pens.  Also, chickens don't make good housepets, no
           matter what people tell you.

           housepets, no matter what people tell you.

              H07 4ZN CH1X in Oakland survive the loneliness?
              H07 4ZN CH1X in Oakland survive the emptiness?
           \_ I heard that chicken tractors are pretty good for weed control.
              Just move the chickens around and they eat the small weeds.
              \_ In SF?  Where the fuck do you have a place with a backyard
                 big enough to waste on a chicken tractor?
                 \_ SF? Sorry, I got off on a tangent and was back in suburbia.
        \_ They are ornery little fuckers and your neighbors will hate you.
           Then again fresh eggs are pretty damn amazing.
           \_ Not only will your neighbors hate you, but YOU will hate you
              after being henpecked for the 20th time.  That said, the eggs
              are out of this world.  Watch out that you don't end up with
              two roosters, as they can get quite violent with each other.
              \_ I would recommend never getting roosters.  Our neighbor
                 had a rooster for a little while.  Stupid thing would wake
                 up our daughter at 3am every day.  3AM!
                 \_ Yeah, if you raise a rooster in an urban or suburban
                    area you totally deserve to be beaten.
                 \_ My neighbor has a rooster and I enjoy hearing it crow.
                    Injects some normalcy into the urban jungle. It
                    doesn't crow loudly enough for me to hear it unless
                    the windows are open. I know some neighbors are
                    pissed, but I also know others enjoy it, too. Depends
                    on how far the stick is up your ass.
                    \_ Yeah, seriously.  What's his problem with waking his
                       kids up at 3AM anyway?  Get that stick outta your ass!
              \_ Unless people are paying to watch!
        \_ I was looking at http://www.mypetchicken.com
           I plan on getting hens only. I need to read more about different
           varietals. I wasn't clear in my original post, but the intent is
           to have 2 (maybe 3) chickens and get about a dozen eggs a week.
           \_ If you've never had chickens before, they really do suck as pets.
           \_ You know, if it's a shared backyard for a 2 unit HOA you really
              should have the blessing of your condo-mate.
              \_ Not shared backyard and the upstairs unit is rented out to
                 3 guys, but yes, before going forward, I need to talk to my
                 HOA (the other guy).
           \_ Highly recommended that you do your research before getting your
              chickens. Some varieties thrive in a small environment; others
              will kill each other if not given plenty of space to roam around
              in.

           as pathetic a troll as this I think it's pretty obvious you
           are still a 30 year old virgin.)
           \_ Nope.  Married and two kids.  -- OP
           \_ Agreed. I stopped having sex for about 2 years and I concentrate
              most of my energy at work. I'm going to get promoted thanks
              to channeling all of my energy to my professional work. The
              plus side is that it makes my wife happier too because she's
              a typical TAIWANESE WOMAN with the sexual drive of an ice cube
              but has a voracious appetite for a suburban house where she
              keeps all her expensive shoes and Gucci and Bebe and Prada
              wears that she never wears.
              \_ Why are you still with her?  Is she otherwise fun?  Does
                 she work in a comparable job?
                 \_ because I no longer have any sex drive myself. I've
                    been taking medications and my career's going well.
                    \_ But do you like having her around?  Is she a net zero,
                       negative or positive?  If regular sex isn't her value
                       add, what is?
              \_ If I have the ability to divert my sex drive energy to my
                 work, I would probably be at two levels above my current level
                 on the corporate ladder.  But I don't have that ability.  I
                 waste a lot of time and energy on having sex, surfing porn,

9/20    Etiquette question: my gf's boss invited her to his son's bar-mitzvah.
        What is a proper attire to wear for non Jewish women? Black & white
        only? Long sleeves only? Can you have color? Can you take
        pictures? Thanks.
        \_ Ok my gf just wore long dress. Turns out they had a super fancy
           one with 200 people attending. They spent ~$30K on a bar-mitzvah.
           Is that how much they normally cost? It's very impressive.
           \_ $30K was more than my wedding, a LOT more. If you're spending
              that much on a 13 year old kid, it says a lot about how much
              you value bar-mitzvah. Or it could just mean that Jewish
              people ARE rich!
        \_ Mazel Tov! Think in terms of what you would wear to go to church,
           remembering that the actual Bar Mitzvah ceremony will be part of
           a service at a synagogue. Think in terms of a dress, a nice pants
           suit, or a skirt and nice top. Dress shoes and, if cooler weather,
           stockings. Nothing flashy or showing much flesh. There is typically
           no need for a head covering--if the congregation likes women to
           have head coverings, there'll have something in the lobby for you
           to put on. Colors are okay, although subdued would be best.
           A card including a check made out to the son is best, which you
           can give to the father anytime except during the service. If you've
           been invited to a party or a reception afterwards, that's a good
           time. It's traditional in Judaism to give money in multiples of $18,
           so think something like $54 or $72 or $90, depending on what you
           can afford and whether you've been invited only to the service or
           to a party afterward. In terms of the service, it will be a
           combination of English and Hebrew. The boy will recite prayers in
           Hebrew, and a portion of the Torah (what you may call the Old
           Testament) in Hebrew. There may also be a short speech in English.
           Just stand when the congregation stands and sit when they sit. If
           you understand the prayers and are comfortable reciting them with
           the congregation, do so, otherwise it's okay, since you're a
           visitor, just to read along in the prayer book (called a Siddur).
           \_ Give a card that says "In lieu of a gift, my tax dollars
              were sent to Israel".
              \_ LOL good one!!! It's almost Seinfeld material.

8/26    Hey, motd boob guy, I have got a story for you:
        http://preview.tinyurl.com/6gkcae
        \_ No pics, damn.
        \_ I don't understand her outrage. She's got metal on her body. How
           does the TSA know it's a bra and not a box cutter or whatever?
           They have to err on the side of caution, because otherwise
           someone will smuggle something in their bra and they will be
           taken to task for not being diligent.
           \_ a 9/11-style takeover with box cutters would not be possible
              anymore; keeping people from bringing nail clippers or swiss
              army knives on planes does nothing meaningful for security.
              \_ Thank you Security Guru. Don't quit your day job.
                 \_ There is no way that confiscating nail clippers makes
                    anyone more safe. It is a "feel good measure" and nothing
                    more, just like most of what the TSA does.
           \_ The amount of metal in an underwire bra is very small, and
              overwhelmingly the choice for large-breasted women because of the
              support.  So why are the sensors tuned up so high as to detect
              that tiny amount of metal?
              \_ How else would they have an excuse to strip "A big-busted
                 woman wearing a large underwire bra"?
              \_ Do you want them to detect metal or not? The amount is not
                 very small if you've ever taken apart a bra, by the way,
                 and they have no idea of knowing it's even the bra that's
                 setting the sensor off until they check. She can say it's
                 her bra, but who is to know?

8/8     How common is it for (white) married women in their mid 30s

        Common? Rare? Really rare?
        \_ I guess you've locked on a target.
        \_ I guess you've located a target.

           she said she was engaged/married?
           \_ I know for a fact she is married (because she mentioned him).
              I am curious whether there are a lot of people here who don't
              believe in the wedding band thing and never wore one, or whether
              she stopped wearing one for some reason I know more women are
              anti-diamond now, but I thought among Caucasian couples, the
              band of gold was pretty standard even among non-trad lefties.
        \_ Pretty rare, in my experience. For some reason, Asian married
           women are much less likely to wear a wedding band. Why is that?
           \_ They might attach less importance to the tradition. My mom
              doesn't wear a ring because she's afraid of someone mugging
              her or something. She hasn't really been mugged since riding MUNI
              in the 80s, but old habits die hard I guess.
           \_ My (asian) wife doesn't put as much importance on the tradition,
              and also it bugs her.  Sometime it gets kinda itchy I guess.
              She seems to wear it about half the time.
        \_ My parents are one of the most sickiningly happy married couples
           I know and they never wore wedding rings, and for some reason the
           whole idea of a ring seems strange to me.
           \_ That's because they never told you that they're SWINGERS

                          affect appearance. You think Jessica Alba is suddenly

        it wasn't, and i was taunted the entire first day for OMG, not
        wearing a bra yet. then when i started wearing one (after waiting
        until the last possible moment after the first day of school to tell
        my mother i needed one, so she had to take me to get a bra before
        school on the second day), i was teased for having what they called
        a "push-up bra", i.e., not a sports bra- one with actual cups,
        straps, a snap in the back, etc. it's pretty satisfying to know
        that i have bigger tits now than any of these girls probably do.
        well, except maybe for the Amazon Woman second from the right.

7/16    You all remember Amazon Amanda from BODacious magazine, right? If you
        haven't got the mag, you owe yourself a kick in the ass. Here's why:
        Amanda measures as follows:  she stands at an Amazonian 6'3, wears a
        44" DD cup bra, and tips the scales at a solid 365 pounds. What I
        didn't mention, is that she has a bear-huggable 43" waist, and her
        hips measure a stunning 63 inches. Like I said, she's one big girl!
        Size + shape = Yummilicious!

6/30    motd not getting laid guy here. girlfriend is out of town for a few
        weeks so i invited hot chick to stay with me for a bit.  she's on her
        period, so it's just been blowjoys in the morning, blowjobs in the
        afternoon, blowjobs before i fall asleep.  its a little annoying.  i
        have to go work early in the morning, lately we have been doing the

        keep my eyes open.  my agile partner must really hate me.  now
        i never get enough sleep, i am really mellow all day, and im
        thinking about taking up drinking coffee all of the time to

                                  being a crime. Adultery is no longer a crime.
                                  But we don't redefine adultery as marriage.
                       \_ Yeah, and I'll bet you cry yourself to sleep over the

                          \_ 800 years ago marriage was for land owners
                             only and was more about poltics than anything
                             else.  But don't let that you shed crocodile
                             tears over the death of language.
