Okay, you take a women/ girl out, you spend £60, you say goodbye, you go home, with nothing, (most the time), when what you wanted was a shag, OR you get a hooker, you spend £60, you get the shag, you say goodbye, you go home, big smile, lots of happy! WHY DO WE BOTHER???

Because you're obviously a sad, desperate loner?

Hey!! I said "We" not "Me", Personally I like the wasting of money on boring, meaningless talk, with nothing to show for it at the end.

We? Do you have a mouse in your pocket (where did I hear that, it was just the other night???)

I don't think this post is going to go down to well, actually to be honest people will probably just see it for what it is - shite.

I'm sure this board wasn't always quite this sad. Is this Barbelith or this Loaded?

I was putting a highly humorous and barbed reply together for this but suddenly, half way through, I thought, WHY DO I BOTHER!?!

For a bunch of proto-anarchists (cough), y'all are hilariously quick to jump up on any high ground that's going. You (we) may not like what this man's got to say for himself but lets hear him out at least. What's made you this embittered and unpleasant-sounding, Mr Fat?

I don't know, why did you bother? If you wanted social intercourse, then why didn't you spend the dosh on a night out with your mates or attempt to find a woman/girl who you had something in common with? If you wanted the other kind of intercourse, why didn't you hire a hooker?

Booored now...

The point of going out with someone is surely to relate to them a bit, get on, get to know them - maybe even fall in love - not just to get your rocks off, surely? If that was the case, why not just have a wank instead?

Though following AR's suggestion above, if you want to expand on your first post, feel free.

BTW, try going with a hooker and contrast it with going with a girl you've met normally. You might find that the former is a lot more disapointing than the latter.

Sax

13:49 / 23.12.02

Oh, come on, "Allison". Since when did being a proto-anarchist (and I've never actually heard anyone round these parts label themselves with that one) mean sitting down with a bullshit-spouter and saying: Now then, tell us all your problems. What did the nasty wimmen do to you?"

But okay, if you think that'll work. Come on, manfat. Tell us why:

a) You think spending £60 on a night out with someone entitles you to a shag?

b) You think spending £60 on a night out with someone is a decent amount of money for a fun evening, you cheap shit.

I don't think anyone here ever actually claimed to be a proto-anarchist.

Manfat, I can't help but get the impression from the tone of your writing that you can't really find ways to relate to women you are attracted to outside of the context of sex. Really, I get the sense that you might think that women aren't much use to you without offering you sex. This is a major problem, and surely exactly the reason why no selfrespecting woman is willing to sleep with you no matter how much money you spend on them.

Advice: starting thinking of women as regular people, and treat them as such. You're clearly thinking of women as an 'other', and that's a big part of your problem.

I dunno-- four quid for a two-litre bottle of scary white cider, fiver to get into dodgy club, tenner for a gram of billy, dance around like a ninny till the tubes start again... Ah, those were the days.

This all smacks of an internal piss-take. Deliberately provocative statement by an intentionally uber-male suit, immediate leaping-to-the-defence by female-orientated fiction suit (albeit with a bloke's e-mail on the profile), chaos ensues.

I didn't suggest we uncritically indulge his bitching about the opposite sex - I've no doubt that he's a big women hating fool. All I was after was that we actually listen to what he's got to say (and maybe even try to engage with him) before we bring our not inconsiderable critical weight to bear on his monkey ass.

As for 'proto-anarchist' - just funnin'

I've heard Manfat's post before - it's just a (very poor) joke. No doubt he's just come back from his work's Xmas party absolutely shitfaced and thought "Oh yeah, that joke the boss told, that was well funny - I'm sure everyone on Barbelith will piss themselves, now where is my PC?...."

and I'm a panto-anarchist actually.......

Oh no you're not.

It's behind you - your larval existence.

Oh yes I am.

I like to think of myself as a panty anarchist. Whatever that means.

Which is surely better than a panto antichrist

Also a scrotto-anarchist here. I don't know what it means, but it has to do with anarchy. And gonads.

Photo-anarchist: light-meter? We don't need no steenking light-meter!

Or a panting anti Christ.

Or even a painting anti Christ, for that matter.

If it's Florentine Renaissance painting, you could be a Giotto-anarchist.

You know what pisses me off? It's those Lotto-anarchists. Honestly. Believing everyone has the right, equally, to get given tons of cash by TV's Carol Smillie (as seen on TV).

Bastards.

A metre anarchist, walk a metre and indulge in a little anarchy, walk another metre... don't get much else done with all that stopping and starting.
