This is why I love Boris Johnson

[Dinner]

I'm just saying the reason these so called "pick up artists" advise men to be jerks is because it often works. So, if these feminists are so upset about a guy telling other guys to be jerks then why not educate women to stop dating jerks and end the whole game? That would be much harder to do and require more effort then simply trying to extrajudicially punish someone because you don't like them but it would work.

Niceness is almost always more effective than *******yness.

I am nearly certain that the "negging" thing doesn't actually ****ing work.

a rebelious atmosphere that exhumes self confidence and independence is intoxicating
after a certain age though, maybe reliability takes the first sit.

Indeed. If pick-up artists have above average success (and I've seen no data either way on this), my guess is it comes down to them simply asking more women out than most men do.

[Bereta_Eder]

That's absolutely true.

**** the haters that shirt was fantastic.

his tattoos, on the other hand....:barf:

In other words he's like every tech nerd in the world ever. I once sat in a meeting with a major tech corporation with a tech guy on our side who was wearing a rock t-shirt with huge sweat patches under the arms. You just tend to expect it from techies.

That just makes it even better when you meet exceed expectations and come dressed appropriately though. But the dude works for a space agency he's cooler than any of us will ever be who gives a ****.

Dr Matt Taylor also has tattoos. He should have covered them us, damn sexist, satanist, biker, atheist, dresses-like-your-dad, Nazi...

Meanwhile the Germans enjoy making the usual puns out of the Rosette (=Sphincter) mission out of Darmstadt (literally Colon-City).
Such Good Times we live in.

I like his name. No one famous is named Boris anymore.

Don't make me post rocky and Bullwinkle stuff. If I have to the squirrel gets it.

[Sava]

every time i hear "Boris" I think of Boris ****ing Mironov

Hawks fans will understand

Indeed. I have always said it pays to be nice (unless that person is ben). I am also reminded of a guy who was half serb and half croat who lived in a Bosnian town which changed hands a bunch of times during the Yugoslav civil war. Each time one side took the town they wanted to kill everyone from the otherside but each time people would speak up to not execute him because he was just such a nice guy. Everyone liked him, he always had a sympathetic ear, he was always nice and fair to everyone else, and he always spoke up in other peoples' defense.

The moral of the story is it costs very little to be the nice guy and it just might save you life someday.

Anyone ever hear the story of the shoe shine guy of Sarajevo?
