MRA's don't like Mad Max

Oh right. You can't be a feminist, because you think there's something wrong with picking up women.

I'm more than happy to self-describe as a feminist. Anyone who isn't comfortable describing themselves as someone who wants equality of the sexes should probably stop being an *******. Because no matter how many times you try and claim feminism isn't about equality, it just makes you look like a damn idiot. You don't get to just change what words mean because you feel like it.

As long as you still judge men for stupid **** like picking up women and calling yourself a feminist then I'm going to use the word feminist the same way that you do, as a word to describe a man hater.

It amuses me when you borrow logic straight from the book of Kenobi.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Incidentally, men who know how to pick up women also know how to break up with them. They have happier relationships with women because when the relationship is bad they can easily break up with women without drama.

So, no decades of bitterness over child support payments, for example?

Fun fact: Men are more likely to pay their child support than women. Also, women don't like to pay child support. Get a clue.

[giblets]

Yes. He has described strategies for picking up women on this site and bragged about his success.

"PUA" is a small subset of "men who try to pick up women". PUA's are generally invested in lots of pseudoscientific evolutionary psychology theories and try to make themselves "alpha males" by being treating women poorly. They believe that their previous failures with women are a product of them being too much of a "nice guy" (they are not actually nice people so this obviously isn't the case). In reality they're just losers trying to rationalize their sexist attitudes toward women.

Sava is a PUA and he started this thread.

that is a Ben Kenobi magnitude reaching statement.

I remember he created an account on an online dating website using some strategy for picking up women and he bragged about how well it worked. Sava is not the nicest person in the world. I don't know how he acts around women, but I sure he says whatever he thinks will get him laid. Also, there's nothing wrong with that. Men have been doing that since the beginning. I really don't give a damn about what his strategy is as long as he isn't raping people. It's a frigging game dude. So I don't give a **** either is some other guys think that nice guys don't get laid either. How would you know anyway? Do you claim to be good with women?

[Ben Kenobi]

That may be so. But you don't really have any strategy for having a better relationship except just doing whatever women tell you to do which results in them not respecting you.

Personally I'd rather be with someone I trust, but then that's just me. If their judgment is that bad, what's the point of being with them? Let someone else be with them.

I'm learning to be less judgmental. No one is perfect. You might do well to lower your standards. You know what they say, "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

There are lots of amazing ladies out there. Why should I settle for one that I don't respect when I can find someone I do?

You need to learn to love people who have faults. That's what Christ does. If you can't do that you are going to have a horrible marriage. And since you're catholic you will probably lose your faith after you divorce.

Well, since I'm Catholic I can't divorce. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about that. Marriage is for life, Kid. I want to find one that wants me for life. I can overlook warts, but I want someone I can trust when the chips are down. That's the biggest thing for me.

I'm very lucky in that I know ladies like that, so it's not like it's an impossible dream.

You are really never going to know if a woman will still love you when the chips are down. That's what divorce is for you silly catholic.

Speak for yourself, sir.
