…that if women really want men who treat them kindly and respectfully, who listen to them and uphold them, and do their share of the housework, how come these creatures never appear in any of the chick-porn romance novels they so assiduously consume?

Instead, we get 50 Shades of Grey, the chic book for female literati, where you have the lady protagonist manipulated and slapped around by a Don Draper type. Tells you a lot about the female id.

I hope this doesn’t end up like MW2 wherein the teasers are better than the actual game.

Time to take back earth.

Video game commercials are getting better every year…

You know the usual:

Bring flowers. Shower her with attention. Be considerate. Blah, blah, blah…

The usual advice you are given is often what women want in their girlfriends, so you end up in the friend zone.

But there is one piece of bad advice that trumps them all.

The worst piece of advice I ever got when it came to women was: “be yourself”. You will not believe how fast women will tune you out when you start talking about philosophy. Or history. Or any of the things that make me myself.

The worst part is I still keep getting this advice, or hear it being given to some poor dude who can’t get far precisely because he is himself. You usually get shouted down when you disagree. So you shut up, and watch the guy re-enact the same awkward crap that kept him there in the first place. 

“Be yourself” may work if you’re already attractive to women. (It is a working form of the Apex Fallacy.) But if you’re like me and the majority of guys out there who would pass under the radar, “being yourself” is the kiss of permanent singleness. So, fuck being yourself. Be better. Because you can always be better. I don’t mean that “best foot forward” stuff, although that may get you started. I mean total self-improvement. You don’t have to suddenly become Casanova. But you can keep your dignity and increase your chances, simply by upgrading your broken-ass self. Start working out. Read up on new topics. Learn new skills. Travel. You don’t even have to do it for the ladies. You just do it just because it will make your life better.

Bane is like, I JUST WANT A BRO-HUG! 

Bane looks like a very happy gimp.

One more “deconstruction” ends up more fantastically stupid than the original.

Fuck, really? You expect me to take this seriously?

One more reason to avoid the upcoming spate of Snow White films. They’re actually jockeying to outdo each other in trying to make Snow White as unfeminine as possible.

Grrl power makes everybody miserable.

…but then the writers would also have to improve their writing. they also need to return to the series original premise of jeff winger entering community college and not to simply saturate the viewers with gimmick episodes (De Mesa 2011).

Wow. Complete APA citation. Thanks mehn! :D

It’s Abed’s fault.

Short hair on women is simply unattractive. Long, luxurious locks have forever been part of the feminine beauty package.

Since “short” is a relative term when it comes to hair, let me qualify. By “short hair”, I don’t mean Cameron Diaz in “Something About Mary”. I mean Jamie Lee Curtis in… everything after “True Lies”.

I miss “True Lies”…

When a woman goes short, she’s usually broadcasting (intentionally or not) one of three things:

1. I’ve given up trying to be attractive to men.

This is usually the case for long-married women who no longer feel the need to impress the hubby (husbands should never allow their wives to do this to them), or single women who have accepted hitting the wall. And lesbians.

There are rumors that Tom Cruise doesn’t really care…

2. I think my balls are bigger than yours.

When a career woman goes short, she wants to swing the long one. From Carly Fiorina to Sinead O’Connor, these girls are itching for a fight, not a quiet romantic evening.

I got into a bar fight once with a dude that looked like this…

3. I’m too busy / lazy to care.

She’s also too busy / lazy for you.

Too busy living down a bad decision…

All of these things tell men one thing: keep away. Which is fine, if that is how the woman really feels. I get the feeling that only the most hardcore of rapists would touch a woman sporting a man-do. Feel free to sport it in a rough neighborhood.

But if a woman wants some form of male companionship, then one of those little things she can do is to grow it long and keep it long.

Not even Emma Watson can save short hair from making her look like a confused choir boy…

When my Steam account loaded up, an ad for “Rusty Hearts” popped up featuring one of the anime eye candy ladies I presume exists in the game.

When I saw it, I read “Busty Hearts” and thought “typical Japan”.

Don’t blame me though…
