It’s definitely 18 in a lot of states.
I actually agree with this mostly. It has always seemed gross to me to comment on a non-partner woman’s physical appearance. It’s even worse than that though. If they’re magazine hot, they’ve heard that shit every single day of their life. If they aren’t, they still hear it and might suspect you’re up to no good. There’s also something pathetic about the lack of creativity and boxing yourself in with all of the other try-hards.
This isn’t right though. How are other guys making it happen in your opinion?
Being a dickbag works once in a while, it’s just outweighed by the harm it does to the vast majority of women it doesn’t work on. Also, some guys are naturally charming enough to get attention without putting effort into flirting.
Oh well maybe try LA or South Beach.
What? The coolest ladies I’ve met are in CO and Montana, and on music tours with jam bands but they are hairy hippie chicks. I’m not sure if I worded that wrong but I want a smart hip girl I can get along with but is also not vapid, or like a Trumper. CO has a lot of what I’m looking for. LA or SB sounds like coke whores.
Well assuming we aren’t talking about Patrick Bateman or Tom Brady–and most people aren’t them–how do you imagine a successful version of this shit goes down?
Sweet merciful Jesus. It’s dropped like 20 degrees F in the last hour, 76 now. Heat is escaping out of every orifice of my home. I’m going to be able to sleep tonight!

That looks…so un-art-nouveau to me, and I love art nouveau. Straight lines, right angles? WTF? Is Glasgow’s version just super different from continental Europe’s?
This is more of what art nouveau means to me:

It’s a Charles Rennie Mackintosh piece. He was part of the Glasgow School.
His wife was also a major player (as was her sister and her husband). The picture on my profile page is her work. I had the privilege to see it in person a couple years back.

Beats me. As far as I know, new relationships outside of online or friends hooking up don’t happen any more.
These examples are flamboyantly nouveau.
Amen!
Right so start trying to figure this part out. Right now it’s invisible to you.
Well, I’m certainly not going to complain about getting a bit more understanding of art and art history when intruding on a discussion thereof. Nevertheless, looking at this cited wiki, which, at least allegedly, has a few more examples of the style:
…it looks more like Art Deco to me than it does like Horta or Gaudi. Perhaps I don’t love the style as much, but I am happy to learn a bit about it.
The most difficult situation for me in the sense of unwanted advances was as a guy from our mechanical shop decided to be persistent with me. For him it was absolutely logical: I am single, he is single, he doesn’t drink and has a job → so we are made for each other. I didn’t want to go to HR because it would mean real troubles for him. So I had to fight him off every time I had something to do in the shop until I left the company. I didn’t feel threatened or so, but it was very energy draining.
I would say try to never go for women in the situations that you or woman can’t leave easily. I mean… I can and did fend-off also bosses and clients, so I won’t feel pressured to do something I don’t want to do. But many women will and it always, always always makes the situation more complicated. Do you need that?
