Who's keeping score...
Wait. I'm confused. YOU were just keeping score. 50/50 and all that what?
I need to know as this may affect my side bets.

I respect that much of the jokes weren't coming from that angle, instead were more character assassinations which I don't particularly agree with yet were set up by the tone of the OP.
The problem, I think, is that a lot of the people here act as though they're sooo fucking together. I mean, I keep my personal problems off the forums for obvious reasons, but I can at least sympathize with someone who wants to vent. The tone of some of the "jibes" in threads like this suggests an audience that's only too grateful to be tasked with a problem different from whatever they're personally suffering, because it gives them a chance to act the superior asshole and deliver lame, obvious advice in service of their own self-esteem. But secretly everybody knows that we're all fucked up in our own fucked up ways and too scared to admit it to each other. I hate insincerity.
TTLG shouldn't be a coddling support group, but just because the OP is a little confused isn't a good enough reason for us to play the collective jerk. Hell, he's posting here
because he's confused, which is exactly the sort of thing we can help him work through. And poking fun can certainly be a part of that.

For what it's worth, my own character response was not a joke at all, but an honest reaction to the OP, much of which pissed me off. And I'm happy to stand by that response until proven wrong by duckman.
Perhaps I should have made more effort to cram my thoughts into a palatable package, but I was certainly sincere.

My point was that there were some people offering genuine advice in there, which I'd say is as good as it gets.
This ain't a pink themed self-help forum, so get over it.

If a girl tells you that you're sensitive and intelligent, is that considered flirting?
Vivian on 7/10/2010 at 12:44
She means you're ugly. If you say it to a girl however, deffo.
Kolya on 7/10/2010 at 15:05
And I thought the worst a girl could say about your looks was that she prefers reverse cowboy style. Well deffo! Whatever that means.
Vivian on 7/10/2010 at 16:01
It means definitely. Reverse Cowboy? Sounds like an anime.

What if she wants to knob your ass with a stick? Does that mean something?
