		<description><![CDATA[Bogart must have missed Arizona&#039;s &quot;Papers Please&quot; law when he claims that Jose has the same rights as Kevin in Arizona.  The comment about China was highly critical of China...you right wing statists sure are sensitive.  Reproductive rights - indeed, most southern states believe that this should be determined by government, not by individuals, with prison as the penalty for failure to abide.  If the right wing actually believed in freedom, they could get back its political power.  But they&#039;re statists, just like the left; and are welfare queens, but of the corporate welfare/government contract variety.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ mark minter
&quot;You could say the say thing about having a woman that has issues in HER determination of your sexual market value relative to how she views hers. You are in for Shit City if you actually start a relationship with her&quot;

Ye this exactly &quot;five minutes of alpha&quot; is going to drive that to above optimal efficiency. So when do they understand that what they got for a ONS is not what they can get from long term provisioning]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hehe, a timely post there, Rollo, as this exact thing was served rather fresh lately with &lt;i&gt;absolutely everything&lt;/i&gt; in this verse:

&lt;i&gt;I know I have to end it
But pretend to just suspend it
By contending that I’m busy all week
I let the foregone linger on
Text back with an emoticon
Withdraw from you by being oblique&lt;/i&gt;

I guess there is a flake (text msg) rulebook by the God of Biomechanics out there. But as she wasn&#039;t even on the radar a week earlier and not an inordinate amount invested, not much wasted either... A vaguely laid-back, obliquely DHV-ing text reply and -- we&#039;ve faded away. 

At first these comments began to resemble a political debate, but Stingray and inimitable (and greatly to-be-missed) Mark Minter put it firmly on the track:

&lt;i&gt;Women are going to watch it with their friends and they will all have a good laugh about how they have done the same thing and stories will be told over wine.&lt;/i&gt;

&quot;Ohmigod, it was soo creepy, girls!&quot;
 
&lt;i&gt;Then they will go out and do it again. Some may even have a bit of guilt about it but will still do it again. Most will do it without guilt and have a good laugh in thinking about this video and how well they relate to it.&lt;/i&gt;

Exactly. They will do it because it is in their interest (and genetic programming) to continue doing it and hamstering it away with rationalisations. And a couple of girls singing about it feels so much more comfortable in an &quot;us-vs-them&quot; sense than two men doing the same. Perhaps excepting some famous, heart-throb status musicians lamenting about their lost, true loves this way... But that would be another kind of performance altogether, not one to spontaneously elicit similarly unkind note-comparing.

And every orbiter/soulmater/ONE-itist/clinger should have Mark&#039;s post burned deep into their consciousness, lest they get burned themselves. This and Patrice O&#039;Neal&#039;s &quot;Time Ho&quot; comedic piece (YouTube is your friend). Don&#039;t. fvcking. waste. your. time. on dead ends. 

Nek:
&lt;i&gt;Oddly enough, the manosphere has led me to realize how “red pill” i have been throughout my life naturally, but since I didn’t know anyone who shared my sentiments I’d give women the benefit of the doubt and go against my gut much to my dismay. People use to tell me that my way of thinking was “wrong” with respect to gender dynamics (when I’d actually open up honestly about it).&lt;/i&gt;

I have similarly always been tuned to potentially hazardous (for a relationship) character traits, or what I&#039;d now call &quot;red flags&quot;; I&#039;ve wondered how no-one else seems to have noticed those in others or at least hinted at them, not to mention barrelling into a relationship slash marriage with a fvcking nutcase. But love conquers all. And pillages and levels, if need be.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a very helpful video. I was getting hung up on a girl who was being aloof, then I watched this and remembered that girls don&#039;t flake on guys that they like. Furthermore, almost no girl has the balls to let you down firmly unless you&#039;ve done something really bad. 

The key lyric here is &quot;You did nothing wrong. I have no excuse.&quot; We can&#039;t expect women to follow the rules that betas want them to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Also with regard to girls whom are immediately out of college themselves, here&#039;s my warning:  Even the former college skanks will all immediately try to get into a relationship around that time.  But before you know it, if you try to be that guy and overlook their red flags, they&#039;ll be back to skanking it up in no time.
