OK
I need to have a serious talk with you.
I understand that it's your blog.
I understand that you can say whatever you want in your blog.
But I am at your feet
begging you
Please
+ Show Spoiler +Stop making fucking girl blogs.
I just don't get this fad, or why it's become so popular for people to come to their TL blog for relationship advice. Why couldn't you just make a girl problem thread and keep it confined to one area instead of clogging up the blogs with this stuff?
Some of them are trolls, some of them are legit, some of them are just downright fucking terrible.
But all of them suck.
And they are hurting E-Sports.

As much as I hate girl blogs I did just recently post one, but they are a part of this lifestyle. I mean being a gamer usually means you're nerdy which usually translates to you being uncomfortable with the opposite sex. Just gotta weed out the trolls from the legit posts.
|
No, girl blogs are awesome, this blog is less entertaining than girl blogs. If you don't like girl blogs, don't read them. Thanks!
|
This blog is worse than all the other girl blogs combined. True story.
Long live the girl blogs! Maybe we should just create a separate header that is GIRLS that you can minimize like the other subsections :p
|
Girl blogs are an essential part of our community. They lay the foundation for the brotherhood we all share. The ability to guide one another, with all the Starcraft Progaming Knowledge we have, to offer a 100% fool proof way to win someone's heart.
Epic stories unfold. Legends are castrated. + Show Spoiler + THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA BEGINS IN THE BLOG SECTION, AND IT WILL START WITH Need Girl Help.
For we, are the mighty.
We are the chosen.
We are the worlds foremost experts on women, and we will share our advice. No matter the cost. No matter the place. No matter what.
Lead on, brave stallions of TL.

I was actually considering this same thing myself last night, but I stopped myself before I made a blog about it because I've already made one on the subject that offers advice to would-be girl bloggers.
I also made this.
+ Show Spoiler +
But then I hated myself and didn't want to ever post it. Now I have... I hope you're proud of yourself.

omg a proposter posted in my blog :O

But all of them suck.
And they are hurting E-Sports.
The what now?
Girl blogs are fun, and to not be sexist; boy blogs as well (Like I-love-Kittens'fan-whose-name-I-can't-remember-right-now's).
Some of the stories are downright catastrophic; but the comments are hilarious!
And what Endymion said; this blog is less entertaining than girl blogs; stop clogging the blogs section
|
So help me try to understand the fad then. Are girl blogs really that entertaining? To me, it kind of feels like sitting through an episode of The Bachelorette or something.. It just doesn't entertain me in the slightest. I have a hard time thinking of any of it as "hilarious"
|
Different strokes for different folks, dude.
Some people like watching BW, others like watching SC2. Everyone has a different reason why. Everyone has their own reason for liking or disliking girl blogs.
Just because you don't like reading them, or find them funny, doesn't mean other people don't. ^^
|
Why are you reading them if you dislike them so much? you act as if you have to go to every single thread and read each and every line of txt. Guess what let people do what they want if it was something serious TL would close all the Girl blogs. Lots of people like reading about them and sometimes they are pretty good.
Why is it wrong to seek advice from your peers? Stop trying to care about something that doesn't effect you directly.
|
I can't start my day without reading a girl blog so I'd like them to stay. Besides, it's much better then some other shitty threads that pop out so yeah.
|
A vital part of TL blog culture, they must stay.
|
I was expecting a picture of a serious face.

You need to listen to this:

They're fine in my opinion. Just ignore them if you don't like them. They come up like one in a dozen anyway; it's not that bad.

I believe it is spelled ESPORTS.

Just don't read em if you don't like em. I sometimes go through them for the comments cause sometimes they can be quite entertaining. Rarely do I actually read the blog post though lol

Well, TL does have that effect on people tbh...

I just wrote a Boy Blog.
Is that bad, too?

Or "twelveapm" for short. =]
But yeah, girl blogs are enjoyable for the comments. And TL actually does offer some pretty good advice; I've been through the "Pic of your GF/BF" thread--these people know what they're talking about. Shouldn't be the focus of the site, but as an aside I don't think they're detracting from anything. Anyway, despite denials, I feel like secretly some TL admins want to see "happily-ever-afters" come out of TL.

Riku reading the laced confrontationalism of your post I'm so tempted to call you out on it and go all nerd-rage, but you don't deserve that (you're too pretty) so I won't. Here dear OP I'll quote you something I wrote, which none other than ILOVEKITTENS QTF'd:

I for one sincerely fear for the virility of some members of this community if girl blogs cannot continue. YOU, others, and people with any experience may find them ridiculous and unecessairy, but some people really are that helpless and do need the help and advice. And this is TL, we should be allowed to spread our inadequacy with the opposite sex to the entire internet if we really want to. Excluding the first sentence, this pretty much summarizes my opinion on the matter, although I am clearly very biased on this issue. But this is really the most succinct and logical way I could have put my thoughts on the matter. Great post, on more than one level. I'm sorry that I am not living up to my posting standards due to this post, please forgive me TL, it is a burden to expect criticism based on the fact that post x is not as good as post y, every time you hit the post button. Good posts stand out because they are rare (: /End alcoholic mini-rant at 5:30 am

I just don't read them so it doesn't matter to me if they exist or not.

I say keep them coming. They are usually mildly to extremely entertaining to read, and furthermore, they fit within the purpose of blogs.

I'm surprised at the backlash to this thread. Girl blogs are garbage. Yeah, not long ago they were bearable because there was a standard to posting them, like on the rest of TL. Precedents were drawn upon. One poster even sacrificed his entire 4,000+ posting history on TL because he fabricated an entire story that turned into one of the most followed girl blogs on TL. He was perma banned, here was a standard, girl blogs were fucking serious business.
Now that it's acceptable for anyone to post them, people write girl blogs about complete nonsense. Before I stopped reading them, I saw daily girl blogs posted by guys who had never even spoken to the girl in question. That's like making a post asking for help in the strategy section but offering no replay, it makes absolutely no sense. I have no problem with girl blogs, I actually enjoyed reading them, but nobody can deny that as the quantity has gone up, the quality has gone down substantially.
So, for the people reading this who were planning on posting a girl blog in the next 24 hours, I will make a simple request. Before you post, please go and introduce yourself if you've never spoken to her, ask her out if you've been in love with her for X number of years, and break up with her if she cheated on you. You will not need a girl blog to work up the courage to do these things, because you will already know that you are doing it for TL. In the back of your mind we will all be there, in our blue TL logo t-shirts holding up Cheerfuls for you, chanting *your name* hwaiting!~ Congratulations your next girl blog will have 10x more content, instant 5 star rating, mods asking you on the first page to keep updates in the current blog post, etcetc.
Do it for TL.

What do you mean? Girl blogs have a lot of potential. My blog is about acquiring girls, and I haven't actually discussed girls in it for a few months now. I specifically look for girl blogs.
It's just like Starcraft really. You have noobs who don't realize how bad they are trying things in-game that they really shouldn't. They also don't know when to gg and move on to the next game. Having played many games before, I believe I can offer some good advice on how people should approach their laddering so they eventually improve. Maybe then people will start to gain some confidence and actually win games.
These blogs don't hurt E-Sports either. For one thing they're in a separate section that people who want to discuss Starcraft can easily ignore. If anything, helping Starcraft players improve their skills with girls will help them gain more confidence. Confidence makes one a better player. In addition to that, if Starcraft players become known for their smoothness with the ladies, it will attract more people to E-Sports because they see it as a means of becoming popular with women. Women should already tune in to this: imagine what a guy with 100+ APM could do with his hand between a girl's legs. 
Sure, bad girl blogs and troll girl blogs exist, but so do bad Starcraft blogs. I don't mind hearing about improvement, but not everyone wants to hear about some loser stuck in Silver League. By furthering the cause of our quest for quality women, we further the cause of E-Sports. If Starcraft players don't go on to create a new generation, E-Sports will die along with the childless players who founded it.
May the girl blogs continue.

^ Amen to that, may these wonderful girl blogs continue.
The day TL girl blogs stop is the day I die of boredom at work.
Here's a lengthier reply:
Girl blogs are usually better written than most other blogs. Now, I'm way too lazy to quote specific blogs and crap, but I believe people can come to a general consensus about that. Most girl blogs at least have proper (or at least understandable) grammar and structure. They tell a story, short or long, but nonetheless a (sincere) emotional tale.
Girl blogs also prompt the readers to give feedback, in various forms such as polls, opinions, and advices. Some feedbacks may be blunt and misogynistic, but it's not hard to skip over those to find the real quality ones - I'm sure most of us know "ILOVEKITTENS" or "Torte de Lini" by now - and they really add to the overall richness of the blog.
Now, on the other hand, what can you say to blogs like "oh I reached diamond yay" or "PROTOSS IMBA" or "I went to school came back slept ate a sandwich and played sc2 and raged the end" stuff like that? Not much to add, feedback, whatever...
So. More girl blogs please!
|
I like to read them and offer advice, I also like to know there is a place where I will be read and have advice given to me.
"Hurting E-sports" lol
|
WHAT? Man how can ANYONE hate girl blogs? They're utterly hilarious and so much fun to read. It has also spawned the one, the only, legendary ILOVEKITTENS who makes some of the best posts on TL. Haters gonna hate!
Also i lol'd at the 'Hurting E-sports', troll much?
|
i love girl blogs (and boy blogs) because they're hilariously entertaining
|
Girl blogs are entertaining, if you hate them then don't read em- plain and simple.
It is most certainly not hurting ESPORTS, it is actually helping it. GF (is shes is a keeper) will join the fight for ESPORTS and if she is loyal to ESPORTS she will produce offspring that will continue spreading ESPORTS.

this is the ultimate goal - to procreate with an ESPORTS champion, so that our offspring will alsolove ESPORTS and perpetuate ESPORTS into the next generarion
