You must slay them at parties.

Personally speaking, anyone who says looks aren't important simply hasn't had very much experience dating. But that's not what the thread is about; no, I don't look for matching hobbies while looking for a partner. I'm one of those people who are strangely competitive but not very good at anything; I wouldn't sit well dating someone who's better than me. I also like it when people nerd it up about something they're passionate about; I love learning new things. If he's passionate about his hobbies that's cool, he can educate me and I can become a more well-rounded person. Hopefully I can have the same effect, too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

you could be going out with the most attractive person in the world and they could be less interesting than a wet sponge

No one who has ever posted on this forum will ever date Jessica Simpson, so I don't know why she keeps getting brought up every single time someone mentions attractiveness.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, someone else brought up the 'perfect broad except she's devestatingly dull' strawman that the perpetually lonely beat on when someone suggests that physical attraction is important.

I'll explain it again for you if you need. My time is valueless.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Isn't that basically what Deni said? Admit it, you didn't read his post at all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Gaia Online, then, or gamefaqs. Penny Arcade's forums. Name it, man.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm just saying that thank god most of them are male, it saves on forced sterilization.

How ya doing, buddy?

I like how Ayos only knows people who are dull.

Dude, you have had zero success with the ladies, I don't think you should let your sour grapes define other people's interactions.

FELIPE NO

I'd like to get back to the point wherein you define video games as an intellectual persuit. What is intellectual about DDR? What great philosophies are explored in Guilty Gear? How are your reasoning facilities taxed in NBA Jam?

Ayos, I have an intellectual game for you. Explain how one person's experiences constitute a statistically sound and unbiased piece of evidence for generalizations made on a population.

And a personal question, if I may. How do you feel about Dean Koontz novels?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

that's why no one likes sausagefests, Devo. Not even the dudes!

I just take exception to the idea that one hobby, among all, should be a defining characteristic to look for in a mate. Same deal with that schmuck who felt he resonated with music so strongly that he could never find anyone tolerable. I mean, among all the things you look for in a mate, why should hobbies come even close to the top? Does personality, looks or any of that mean nothing?

Well, in Ayos' case, yes. He will take any chick who so much as looks at him, and then berate her for being 'boring' when he realizes she was just asking directions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sound and biased are two words that contradict. Otherwise, you are absolutely correct. Your personal experiences are absolutely on target for generalizing everyone that you personally have come in contact with. Big deal. I'm not going to meet any of the girls you have. Your posts are as empty as your soul.

And I don't think I ever even tried to argue about or define video games as an intellectual pursuit (as a general rule, they are not. In most ways.)

There is boring and then there is vapid. So, what video game genre do you feel stretches the grey matter to the limit? please say rpgs

I'm very grateful for the fact that the most recent statement made by you about me is NOT true... I shudder to think of the girls I would have ended up with, if I took every chick that looked at me. No no, I prefer to stick with the hot interesting intelligent ones. Technically "hot" and "interesting" are, I suppose, in the eye of the beholder... but when the majority agrees, what can you do?

yes, I reckon her WoW avatar was pretty hot and interesting.

Personally, I like how Ayos keeps dragging out the strawman of 'well EVERYONE enjoys at least ONE video game, even if they haven't played it yet!' The joint discovery that your girlfriend really likes Kingdom Hearts doesn't make her a gamer, dipshit, and most people don't appreciate being badgered into liking a hobby.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're racist, aren't you?
