i mean tbh, i feel boshstrikesback is somebody who will acknowledge a better way of doing something, but if someone convinces him to change his ways in some form, hes not gonna admit it until much later.

I mean hes agreed with me in this topic at least 3 times, and then thinks im some idiot? Not sure what the hell is going on with ya man. You seem like u enjoy spirited debates, so props (a lot of b8 doesnt it seems these days). But you also come across as very smug underneath.

I've rarely seen you acknowledge the validity of another side's reasoning, to be quite frank, even when it comes to pointless things like video games.

Most people change their mind very gradually, if at all. I like to think I'm above the mean on this one.

And while I may not "change my mind" very often, I at the very least understand why people are the way they are and like things that they like, even if I don't agree.

And I'm not actively out to change people's minds more often than not. I just enjoy discussion.


Then by all means, keep discussing. Your personal attacks against me are entirely irrelevant.

Come on man, there's places in our universe where math works different. Why would it be hard to believe that multiple techniques is greater on a grander scale?

"What-ifs" are extremely unconvincing, Santa. You know this. If you want to make account Y seem like a viable alternative to account X, give us a reason.

Sorry, NOW it all makes sense. You might as well pack it in, Bosh

lol, does any of that surprise you? Beauty is in the eye of the be(ta)holder.

They're not personal attacks. I'm just saying what I've observed, and it doesn't line up with your claims of open-mindedness.

Granted, it's not like I keep a log of your posts, but my general assessment of you that I've developed over my time on the board is that you are very stubborn and not very open-minded to differing opinions.

This doesn't mean I dislike you. Understand the difference.

I've only made a personal attack once, and it was obviously reactionary. The rest of what you're reading is just my own style.

lol. First off, you STARTED the insulting of me.

I wouldn't consider any of what was shared to be "insulting" until you called me a "beta" in a way that was entirely apart from the discussion and, accordingly, an ad hominem. Then I responded.

Secondly, ten time worse? Man you are some person who needs a lot of self-assurance. "OH BRO I CAN INSULT U SO MUCH HARDER THAN YOU CAN DREAM OF YO"

Think what you want. It's funny, though, since you're getting a lot more upset over what I said to you than the other way around.

and obviously you are getting upset because you thought i started the insulting. You really seemed to be angry and defensive when i called you a beta.

LOL. You are bringing up the leader of a country? And comparing him to a (barely) 20k a year mid 30s "struggling musician". Saying hes proof that "an alpha is an alpha" crap. Have you ever thought no hot girl would give berlusconi the light of day if he wasnt...oh i dont know....THE PRIME MINISITER of a country? And barney stinson as an example?


Oh so now we're going to strictly define our tattoo guy when it stops suiting your argument to simplify him, right?

My point was that if you have alpha characteristics (being Prime Minister for Berlusconi among other things) will trump age in any case. You and Greyfeld have this misconception that a 30 year old alpha male is going to somehow start having trouble picking up attractive college girls just because of his age. He isn't.

And the definition of alpha male isn't going to change as you get older, either. If you walk into a bar with your 60/70k a year salary and go sit at the bar and order yourself a drink by yourself, you're still going to have a lot less luck than the tattoo'd rocker whose alpha male status probably has him already walking in with an entourage of people, or maybe he's over in the corner holding court with a number of other men and women. Either way I don't think I need to point out which one most women will find more attractive.

Of course, you can start to develop alpha characteristics (confidence, for one) AROUND your newly found career/job/goals, but make no mistake that it's in the characteristics, not the job itself.

"Irked" is probably a better word. But I don't see any reason to respond to the rest of your posts until you get back on-topic; a good start would be trying to build back the broken pieces of your argument into something workable.

My point was that if you have alpha characteristics (being Prime Minister for Berlusconi among other things) will trump age in any case.

Succinct, well-said, and completely true.

extha, you need to get out more. Do you know how many of the people who are playing their gigs at bars have jack **** for money? Most. The good ol "struggling musician" is everywhere in the bar room scene.

Berlusconi is an "alpha male" because he has ****ing money and power. You are acting like hed be fine if he wasnt the prime minister of a country.

And your bar room 60k guy is another bad example. What if the guy with a 60k/70k job walked in a bar with HIS group of friends? YOU are the one strictly defining people here. Its laughable how you cant see that.

Extha: "Guess what guys! All 60/70k a year people with a job have no friends and go to a bar alone!!!!"

Cmon dude.

Exactly. Further, this is something that all guys can relate to. What if your wife, after being married for a year, put on fifty pounds, and said that it was alright because she was "still who she was"? Would that satisfy you? For most, the answer is no, and rightfully so.

Not that it's any of your business, but I've had my share of relationships. I was actually the one that instigated the breakup of my last relationship.

I know for a fact that I don't have to be a jerk to get attention from women, so your attempts at putting words in my mouth only serves to make you look like more of an idiot than you already currently do.
