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. |

I have given 3 logical deductive sound arguements that women are not funny and you have offered nothing to the contrary because there is none to be found. Don't try to argue facts that are self evident when using common sense.
If you want your point to have any validity at all answer this:
Why in California the most liberal state in the us, the most left wing progressive city Hollywood hires 9 men comedy writers for every 1 female comedy writer. The writing guilds would gladly hire a less funny women writer over a more funny man writer. Who's holding them back?

You've never met a funny woman? Really? I feel sorry for you. I know plenty of women who have a great sense of humour and can make me laugh. My aunt is one of them. Yeah, women in comedy aren't that great but in a genuine environment I think you're wrong.

I wouldn't be with a woman who can't make me laugh. A woman who is not funny is a boring woman. If you think women can't be funny, I think you're not associating with the right ones.

This. The only woman I actually enjoy being around are the ones with a good sense of humor. If they can't make jokes and be funny what's the point.

Stating your opinion is a fact does not make it so. Stating your personal observations does not count as a 'logacilly deductive sound argument'. Stating there is no evidence against what you said does not make it true (ever heard of Russell's teapot?).
Seriously, whenever I read the words 'logically sound argument' on the internet, it seems to mean 'personal opinion that I don't want challenged'.
What you consider 'common sense' seems to be quite distinct from what I and the people I know do. In particular, for me 'common sense' does not include making blanket statements about half earth's population from a few points of personally observed data. Even if I found all men shorter than 1.8 m I know to be inherently unfunny (I don't), I wouldn't assume that this is somehow a universal fact.
If you want your point to have any validity at all answer this:

That statement is full of unfounded assumptions (the "most left-wing" films are made in Hollywood?), lacking any backup data - and does not prove your point. Even assuming you're right and Hollywood can't find women writing the comedies it wants, do you seriously think that somehow proves women inherently lack the ability to be funny?
"Being funny" is a very subjective attribute. Personally, I find that most of the "humour" in TV and Hollywood is somewhere between boring and embarrassing. Yet it sells, so there must be people who consider it funny - one would hope that at least the writers do. On the other hand, I can crack up for hours about things that leave some people I know cold.
tl;dr: If you find all women around you bland, then that is sad, but your problem. Don't assume we all do.

...Really?
Maybe you're trying to pick up the wrong women my friend. I've hung out, been friends with, and dated plenty of funny females. This is just you having bad luck or not having a sense of humor yourself.
Like 3-4 weeks ago I was talking about that girl I went on a date with and spent 5 hours with at dinner only the be denied a second date because "she wasn't ready for a relationship". I really havent talked to her much since then, only the occasional hi or hey at work, but about a week ago she started texting me again and I dont mean "how're you doing?" type texts, I mean like 3 paragraph long texts. and not just on one thing, like this has been every text for a week ranging from work to the weather to our experiences at school and stuff. Like I'm unsure to take this as she's trying to be friends or she's trying to get me to ask again. Like wtf.

Jep. Women in comedy usually suck, but there are exceptions like Tina Fey (who is hilarious).
But since I agree that women in real life are at least as funny as their male counterparts, it's maybe just that women aren't great at forced 'funniness'. Or it's the fact that guys have a lot more comedic role-models.
Just look at stand-up. Seinfeld, Louis CK, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen...
I can't think of a single female one who isn't absolute garbage. I think the most successful one is the fat blonde in track suits, who talks about shit stains and popping genital pimples and is basically just a modern day circus freak.
A quick google search for 'female sta' and google suggest 'female starcraft players' before it does female standup comedians.

You have 800+ posts on teamliquid. Guess what? Google knows you like starcraft. And it will show you more starcraft content than to the average googler.

That just blew my mind.
I'm not logged into my gmail account and I'm at work, so they don't see my usual IP.
Does google really 'know' I'm logged in to TL in another Firefox tab?
That is just mental.

You don't need a gmail account to be tracked. Have you used TL from work before? Then they definitely know. Have you watched livestreamed starcraft on youtube (owned by google) on this IP? Then they definitely know.

They know everything...

I'm working a boring office job between semesters, making barely more than minimum wage, of course I watch Starcraft at work. Not on youtube, though.
That's really frightening, though. I think I need to get off the grid.

when sixstrings thinks you're way off base about a woman, you're probably wrong.
just saying mr. dogfood.

I'll give you guys another thing to tare me to bits about:
A friend of mine is way into his co-worker. He's a chef and she's an apprentice-cook in small a restaurant / hotel.
So on Friday, he planed to ask her out for the first time. Trouble is: during their lunch break, and before he could ask her, she revealed that she had a that day, directly after work at six.
He usually isn't successful with women and he's kind of romantic, so he's really distraught when he phones me.
I tell him not to worry, we'll figure something out. So a quarter to six I call their boss, pretending to be an Italian guy with a van full of relatives and children (the girls in my office, wise to my ploy, providing a passable imitation of my mock family's background noise), eager to get a table for nine.
So the boss tells her she can't have the evening off, because of major business coming around the corner.
I call a couple more times during the succeeding, two hours, talking to an increasingly annoyed hotel manager, asking for directions etc, she misses her date, her boss getting really annoyed and half the kitchen staff working overtime for naught.

what do you guys think about escorts? risky?

Never ever. Not on moral grounds, but on grounds of hygiene.
If I can't eat her out nor bare-bone her, let alone kiss her or get a BJ, I might as well jack off.

xD
About the religion stuff, I've had fights in the past with my gf because she'd come first for me whereas I'd come second for her after her religion. That changed after she learned people at her church we badmouthing her when she wasn't there because she's dating a foreigner (prejudice is everywhere...), and the disappointment led her to not going to church as often and not taking religion too seriously anymore.

Is that what 'bareback' means?
I thought it referred to gay porn in which the guys don't have hair on their backs. -_-
