I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

this will get u no girls.

That and a laundry list of other things. Almost complete lack of tact being first and foremost.

Okay...enough!!! Now back to the subject...AJE would do better with a girl with a common background like climbing. Do you agree with this statement, SEV?

And just one bit of TEXAS history...Texas was annexed through a hand-shake deal which under the laws of the Republic was not just. And TEXAS is the only state that can legally separate from the United States if it chooses so.

I think something important is being forgotten here. If you go climbing with a non-climber lady-friend it is essential to make loud cries of pain while being lowered. This shows her just how huge your package is. This technique is often used in climbing gyms where the screams can be heard by more people. This can help to attract other women in case this one doesn't work out. It also has the side effect of intimidating other males. It should be noted that this technique will NOT work on the seasoned female climber.

Do you mean this:

In slang an anorak is a person, typically a man, who has unfathomable interest in arcane, detailed information regarded as boring by the rest of the population, and who feels compelled to talk at length about this information to anyone within earshot.

In Britain, people who wear anoraks in their social life are often stereotyped as trainspotters or persons with unimaginative and dull pastimes/hobbies.

The closest American slang is perhaps nerd which is applied to bookish students. Anorak is not generally applied to students; and the anorak is more of a trivia-freak than an overly studious worker. A geek is a person typically expert at, and intensely focussed on, technical equipment, particularly computers; again this is not exactly an anorak — the anorak offers overly detailed discussion and arcane trivia on "hobbyist" topics.

without the c?

Actually, here in the US that would be a geek, not a nerd. And if they use the term otaku they are into anime and cosplay and are the geekiest of the geeky.

Sport climbing, bouldering, and even soloing (this is for you notapplicable) pale in comparison to trad climbing. Is this clear?

Fuck Chicks man...Tonight, i just wanna dance...

The question that now arises in my mind is whether or not this thread belongs in this forum any more???

gay bar?

... Jolly well done! ...

Socrates? Jolly? Texas? I think you might be "internationally confused"

On the contrary, epoch, the Bats/notapplicable/sev debate is exactly to the point: both notapplicable and sev are demonstrating different methods of getting into a girl’s pants (Bats). Bats’ “drivel” and her Texan “nationality” have marked her an easy target for the peculiar advances of notapplicable and sev’s overly—and might I add, unnecessarily (considering Bats’ manifested astuteness)—clever diatribe. Notapplicable is demonstrating “chivalry” (a word, which apparently has no meaning for Mr. Grammarian) by being protective of the vulnerable female, who has trouble defending herself from sev’s verbal rampage. Sev, on the other hand, has a different approach: he is attempting to woo the unsuspecting female with a display of his wits. Since some women seem to be drawn to witty, sarcastic, cynical men while some respond better to the chivalric types, I deem both approaches perfectly valid, albeit for different types of members of the fair sex. It occurs to me that if Bats’ “drivel” remained simply ignored, we all would have missed out on this important lesson in sociology. Thank you, Bats and gentlemen, for your contributions. Jolly well done!

To go back to the topic question... I think I'm speaking for every woman, when I say, YES, but only if they're showing off their colorful, shiny--and need I add--large racks and wearing beanie hats!

I'm sorry, I did not read this all the way through, mainly because it seems as if the concept of a paragraph is foreign to you, but there were other reasons as well.

If I collected enough data to classify all the posters in this thread, I would have to lump you in with notapplicable under the heading "severe trouble with reading comprehension." You - just as he did - completely missed the point of my perfectly clear (though not as concise as they could have been) presentations on the topic at hand.

I attempted to illustrate the clear correlation between gear and the attention one will acquire from a female, which I later broke down into different sub-categories due to people inquiring about different climbing disciplines. Somewhere in the midst of the information transmission on the information super highway, Bats decided to assert her opinion. This is perfectly acceptable, because on the information super highway, anyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how ludicrous it is. The only problem is that Bats communicated her thoughts in a manner closely resembling that of an autistic child (have you seen Mercury Rising?).

So, you see, that was the reason I asked Bats to clarify. I am unaware of any romantic interest notapplicable has for Bats (I didn't even know Bats was a female until he pointed it out) but he took offense for some reason. He then managed to demonstrate that his written communication skills are right on par with Bats. In fact, that may very well be why he took offense to my original post, I haven't thought of it from that perspective.

Also, overly and unnecessarily tend to go hand in hand, so there is a little bit of redundancy in your post. I suggest you go over it and see where you could have improved your efficiency in the delivery of information on the information super highway. I can give you a consultation in private, if you'd like.

Thank you for your time, dumbsocrates, and I hope you've learned something today.

Despite the lack of beanie, I think the choice is clear Socrates.

How about we meet Sevs mom at Bats house and have us a good Ol' time.

It seems that you are having trouble understanding the subtleties of the English language: you have no concept of tone or semantics.

And, what’s worse, you seem to assume they are foreign to others as well. No amount of explanation on your part will convince anyone that your tone was less than acerbic.

Further, a quick look in the dictionary would have proven your accusation of redundancy flawed: the word “overly” means “excessively” and the word “unnecessarily” means “needlessly.” You can use an excessive number of posts to some twit's dubious statement (an activity of which we all are guilty on this forum); however, the excessive posts may be necessary to put your sorry, sarcastic ass in place. On the other hand, your discourteous comment was unnecessary and frankly counterproductive
