Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
It's probably less debasing too pretending to be intimate with someone versus shaking your bare ass for a bunch of strangers.

Based on the interviews they gave on the documentary, while hookers basically have to bang multiple guys, including the physically repulsive ones, these chicks are looking for a single guy they wouldn't "mind" banging while simultaneously getting their bills paid. The chicks on the show basically rationalized their hooking the same way "Why should I date some loser college guy that has no money and can't take me anywhere, when I can get some stable half-decent guy that won't monopolize all my time, appreciates me, floats my way through college, and takes me to expensive places/restaurants".

I hope the people hiring those princesses aren't the same ones complaining about the dating field being filled with princesses.
His posts definitely leans towards the marriage side of things instead of all social interaction, however if you play it out to its inevitable conclusion it's not all that feasible. Being single at 40+, hell even 30+ years old usually relegates you to hanging out with people much younger than you, or being the third wheel on holidays, and other social events. Your buddies get tired about hearing about shit you'd normally talk about with a significant other, or even worse you don't have any outlet for those emotions at all. There is a reason people go through multiple wives and girlfriends despite the hurt, and it's definitely not all social pressure.....

Perhaps we can give this conversation some context then. What in your mind is not social pressure? People are built for relationships whether you believe in creation of evolution. Since the dawn of humanity we have banded together. If you call sharing emotions with people, and not wanting to live in isolation social pressure then I'm not sure how to respond. I'm not sure I even understand your position. So when you're sitting at home alone on any given day and happen to be bored/lonely you consider that social pressure? That society inflicted such emotions upon you, and you would otherwise be perfectly content living completely alone every day?

And you keep pretending you need to have a singular relationship with the opposite sex to not be alone. You do realize I have a ton of friends right? Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm alone.

If I wasn't so frightened of STD's I would have been banging hookers long ago.

Side question, when did they become STI's instead of STD's? I feel like I missed something...everyone says STI now.
And I agree there is definitely a lot of pressure to get married, mostly from family and my friend's spouses.
I'm becoming the odd duck in my group of friends that isnt married and isn't really dating, or at least nothing you'd consider to be working towards marriage/long term. We still have do a lot as a group, and I see them on the reg, it's just around their spouse/significant others schedule and in some cases permission. I certainly dont agree with having to be married or be lonely.
We're all fairly young (mid 20's), but I've become part of the minority when it comes to single vs married. Cant wait for the with kids/without kids change.

I dunno, as of a March 30th update by the CDC on their website, they still call them STD's. -shrug- I've never heard of them called STI's.
More research, CDC also says

We're trying to call them infections now instead of disease. They're really not a disease. They're just a specific type of infection.
Well, they ARE a disease. A moral disease that effects degenerates and negroes. hohoho.
I know, it's weird. STI still sounds weird to me. Hell, I still call them VD half the time. And that's like 2 generations old terminology.

OKCupid chart on height is all you need to see how important it is. Guys add, on average, two inches to their height on online profiles except when they need a little bit more to hit six feet (like, a 5'9" guy might say 6'0", but a 5'8" guy won't go above 5'10"). It matters a ton. You could go get real studies on it to, but fuck that, the OKTrends blog has the same data and is much more readable.
Also I'm sad bros. Things with my ex-girlfriend went from cordial FWB to total non-contact. Maybe it'll pass. I'm still married and the wife still has a hot girlfriend, so it isn't all bad, but it always hurts to lose people.

I've found that total no contact is always the best way to get over a break up. That whole cordial thing just seems to drag out the inevitable, which is one or the other still having residual feelings and the one who doesn't having to cut the cord anyway because it's obvious being just friends isn't possible.
