Video on how to get a woman?

[Heraclitus]

Then he should leave women alone and stick to soft toys and finger-painting.

Why are you so opposed to people improving themselves?

[Al B. Sure!]

To update, the woman that was calling me regularly then stopped when I asked to take her out... it's been a week and she hasn't called me nor responded to my texts.

Why do women do this? Why is it that an expressing of interest results in complete disdain, repulsion, and avoidance?

Is there a reason for this?

Yes. They don't want to go out with you. Find someone else.

H, I've had plenty of experience with women. Before I got married I learnt to "game" by my own experiments, driven by my desire to get back at all the women who had left me flat in the past.

You know what I found? Those women were right to leave me. We weren't suited to each other. Women get that quicker than men, because men are usually more interested in dipping their wick at the beginning, and pretty much anyone is compatible for that.

Moral of the story: if they think you're not right for them, believe them. There are 3.5 billion more of them out there, so move on and find someone who is. Don't waste your valuable time convincing some woman you're right for them to salve your ego.

She also might've kept in contact, politely declining, politely keeping you as her chump on the side, and still rejecting you, until you think you have a chance again at last, at which point rinse and repeat. Severence is a good thing here, you should thank her for it- even if it sucks.

Your advice to Albert Speer is to be patient?

[Jon Miller]

Patience is a very good quality, especially if you want to have successful relationships and not just 'a relationship where you have sex together for a few months'.

[Heraclitus]

I will admit that patience with regard to finding a
life long partner may be a good thing for young men.
This is especially true since, if they don't screw up,
their value should be increasing with age right
up to the early 30s.

Your theology is even more **** than your viewpoint on women.

What view of women did the OT and NT have? Remember the view of the virtuous wife given at the end of Proverbs? Of the Pauline injunctions to the Ephesians on the nature of the relation between man and wife? Of the implicit assumptions made throughout both texts on what 'normal' is supposed to be?

What "science" do you claim invalidated that? Egalitarian thought is not a science, it is simply a world-view, and one contrary to the spirit and letter of your scripture.

The doctrine of understanding the scriptures through the lens of reason applies only insofar as some science applies to scriptural injunctions at all. It does not apply to human relationships and their structuring. You wilfully ignore that, which is quite convenient for you and transparently hypocritical to everyone else.

Conveying an understanding, useful in a personal context, of observations of emergent patterns in human behaviour is not a subject suited to the methodology of the hard sciences.

Seriously, if you've never heard of humanity being able to reason as indictative of a divine spark in us, then you have held your head in the sand for waaaay too long.

I've heard it quite a few times. It's simply that:

a) I disagree that it makes us divine, and
b) I disagree that our reasoning ability is context-independent to the extent we think it is.

You are also ignoring the fact that your little material heresy (I presume you are a Protestant) was a response to the increasing openness and humanism of the Catholic Church during the Renaissance. Luther hated that. Think of a backwater preacher from Africa coming for the first time to New York. That was his emotional reason for what he did, which comes through in the tone of his writings.

Galatians 3:28 (KJV):

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

The doctrine of understanding the scriptures through the lens of reason applies only insofar as some science applies to scriptural injunctions at all.

It is actually done quite a bit (scripture through the lens of reason), especially by the Catholic Church. Though, yes, it is a product of modernity and postmodern Christianity (of which I consider myself an adherant) tries to divorce that a bit.

Besides every Christian (which perhaps a few charismatics here and there) believe that emotional experiences without a grounding in reasoned beliefs based on the Living Word is mere sprituality and not Christianity.

a) I disagree that it makes us divine

That's great, but no one ever said that. Reading comprehension is vital as I've only ever said our ability to reason is evident of divine spark.

You are also ignoring the fact that your little material heresy

Which heresy? For so far you've failed to proven any of it.

Value ???? I think I have found your problem right there...

[giblets]

Galatians 3:28 (KJV):

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

This is written by the same guy who wrote "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." (Colossians 3:18-19, NIV)

And the Bible has plenty of other patriarchal crap. If you're just going to reinterpret it into whatever you want why even bother being a Christian?
