We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

If a girl says no, you shouldn't have to try another 50 times to get a yes. | ||

If you (the proverbial you, not the quote since I don't mean for it to be out of context) don't think the exact opposite, where 1 no outweighs 50 yes's, you have absolutely no respect for the person you are with. | ||

In the context what he said was correct, that a perceived no doesn't always mean no and it's better to try your luck and ask her out anyway. | ||

Yeah for real I don't think convo is about taking a girl to your apartment and pressuring her into sex. If you can't tell if someone likes you or not, asking her out is not "rapey" BTW rapey is getting up there with creepy (because now everything is rape, wtf) in terms of cliched expressions used to describe "things I don't like" | ||

I despise the over-use of it, because there is genuine creepiness and it becomes that bit harder to describe. | ||

Of course man, you can't respect the other person if you're a PUA. | ||

Or should i man up an ask her to lunch on monday? A group thing is a good and casual way to start a relationship/correspondence with someone and it doesn't prevent you from expressing your interest or intentions, there's no reason you can't move from a really comfortable and easy situation like a group social event to a private lunch | ||
