  • Coping Mechanisms

    always the suggestion, never the actual facts

    Anyone can play the "I have a fabulous job, I make a lot of money" game. It's online, it's all unverifiable information. Just like our fake names. Pure bullshit.

    111 letters in a month and a half are all the proof needed to out you as the bullshit artist you are. (One only has to click on your name to get the info; it takes maybe 3 seconds.)

    So, unless you have some actual proof, do the ret of us a favor and just STFU already. No one believes you. Except maybe boo, and she's retarded.

    I don't need to prove anything because i know it's true, but i guess to you, it would be just unbearable that i actually do have all the things and opportunities and money etc. that i do have, so you have to ... what's the word? Coping mechanism. You've convinced yourself that there's no way any of what i say could be true because it would just break your heart if it were, and that's the only way you can deal with it. Obviously there's no way i can prove anything i say is true without revealing my identity. But my offer from the law firm is not from some "reputable" mom & pop storefront in Helena, Montana. It's a British Magic Circle firm. And if you go read about them, you'll see that all 6 of them are pretty sweet. :)

  • Self-respecting people

    coping just fine, thanks

    But thanks for proving the point I made with more silly faux 'proof' that you're rich and smart and all the other BS. No one is buying it.

    note to KStone: she is literally incapable of ever STFU about anything in her life; she'll always try to top her last bs line with more bs. It's fun to watch her unravel and feel some need to prove what any self-respecting person would have never needed to even mention. :)

    It's funny that you talk about self-respecting people, because we don't needlessly taunt strangers on the internet. What's the fun there? DO you have no friends left to make fun of, or is there no one to talk in the boiler room that is the place of your employment? :)

    I'm not sorry, and i can manage my own life without KStone's well-meaning, but obnoxious advice. What i don't understand is the allure of posting completely off-topic insults to me on the internet. Can you elaborate on that?

  • Relationships before 25?

    [Read the article: The 30-year-old virgins]

    I feel bad for these 30-year-old virgins, but here's my question. It seems to me that after 25, potential sex partners will start to look at you weird if you are a virgin, so let's say 25 will be our cutoff.

    So, putting the religious question aside, how is it possible that these "late bloomers" haven't had a committed, somewhat long-term relationship with someone that they felt they loved by the age of 25, especially they have gone to college, where there are so many different people to meet? Because that seems like the logical concluion -- if you were in a good relationship before 25, you woulda had sex with that person (again, religious issues aside).

    Anyone have any insight?

    I think this is really interesting. Also, brightstar, i just had an epiphany. You and the other trolls and residence regularly complain that women get so much sexual attention DAILY and men get none. Well, i don't know if my experience is everyone else's, but i would have to say that 95% of the attention i get daily (from weirdos on public transport, homeless people, lurid parking garage attendants, coffee trolley people, security guards) from men that is at least somewhat sexual in nature, is UNWANTED! Not only would i prefer not to get any of this attention at all (staring at my chest when i have barely left the house and still somewhat asleep in the morning, etc.), but none of the people giving the attention are even remotely possible candidates for someone to date, much less have sex with, much less have sex with for the first time.

    Well,

    (1) Why did you go to a woman's college?

    (2) Some women's colleges are not that far from men.

    (3) Law school is hard, but people party hard too, and have relationships.

    maybe you just aren't interested in sex/relationships.
