How not to get laid.

The whole internets is basically a compendium of this.

"Self Date-Rape Guy" is going to be my first official sockpuppet, methinks.

Wow, someone found a way to make Maxim a lot dumber, a lot crasser, and then removed all the pretty pictures. Just what I needed!

"Father knows breast" is a fucking creepy title for a post.

First impression: Boring, dull, pedestrian stories poorly written; even the majority of their highest-rated stories aren't interesting.

But then I realize the site works on a different level: "How not to get laid? Write like this."

I did laugh at Elmer Fudd dirty talk and self date-rape guy

As an apology for snark earlier, please accept Goldmine stories from SA in on a similar subject.

Wow. I've been reading for over an hour and I don't think I've ever felt like less of a dork than I do right now.

I spent the next three or four days alternatively trying to woo her then surprise sex her.

Surprise sex = rape.

Nice.

Ok, this story is just plain old WRONG. Wrong all over. This isn't "how not to get laid" so much as "how TO get taken advantage of sexually, to the point of practically being date raped." Sheezus. Who thinks this is funny?

HURF DURF YOU SED NOES BUT I KEPT ON A GOIN.

I've got to go wash off that dirty feeling now.

So this one time I'm up in Colorado on the job and me and my coworker have gone out to a friend of a friends place. So she looks at me and says to me my boyfriends out of town and I'm like what does that have to do with me? .... I plead virginity

Are they hiring columnists? "Nice shoes, wanna @#$%?" does not actually work.

You know what would happen if you had posted that comment but used 'females' instead? So why do you feel it's ok snark to say this about males? That's kinda freakin lame if you ask me. I understand that you might be a guy and therefore this is somehow 'ok self-deprecating snark' but still...

I quit reading when there were too many self-aggrandizing "I didn't get laid because I didn't take advantage of women in distress" nobility paeans for me to believe.

"Boiling water, all over my crotch..."

You know, if you pretend Jason Molina's singing it with some moody minimalist guitarwork and maybe a brushed snare reverberating lightly in the background, this is actually very touching.

FWIW kklangston I really don't think I've read more than one of those most of the time its the woman is smelly, sweaty, not a man, too awesome(In his deluded mind)

Besides, Nobility only comes from the morons who think that conversation and mutual agreement is the meat and drink of love when in fact alot of the time its physicality.

Actually, the most common reason guys miss out on getting laid is because we're too dense to read the woman's signals or alternately the woman involved was being way too subtle for an inexperienced male. Right after I lost my virginity, I realized that I had missed a few opportunites before and felt like hitting myelf in the crotch with a wiffle bat as a kind of postmodern Catholic form of self-abasement. I bet most guys would concur on this. The missing signals, not the wiffle bat. That i came up with on my own.

/agree with jonmc

One of the surest ways to NOT get laid is simply not to ask.

Life favors the bold.

Several of these could have been solved by the guy saying "hey, I really want to have sex with you, but not right now because of . Can we fix this/hook up later?" rather than making a lame excuse and running away like he's afraid of her. Is rejection supposed to be sexier than communication?
posted by Arturus at 11:34 AM on August 27, 2008


/sorta agrees with jonmc

From the guy's perspective, I think his self-esteem, his self-image is central. If the guy is down on himself, and doesn't truly think he's good enough to be with the girl he likes, he's going to miss the signals because he can't imagine she likes him too. So he won't "get laid", his self-esteem drops more, more signals are missed, etc. It's a self-perpetuating thing, and it comes from within.

But that's a Good Thing -- it means it can be fixed from within, too.

Also, I've found an aluminum softball bat to be the most effective.
