[QUOTE=Seith;34729966]"platitudes" ? hmm... that just proves your lack of ability to relate, because none of them represent who you are. They represent me, my goals and who I am striving to be everyday. I shall clarify even more; these are not a sad attempt to throw quotes in the air and sound smart. These are what I personally use each and everyday - my life support. To call it a "banal" thing, is assuming stuff and really not reading or wanting to comprehend even one of my posts, anywhere on these forums. I am alive and kickin', this is a pure, untapped, power source my friend.[/QUOTE] No, they're platitudes because they take the entire nebulous field of existentialism and the progenitors and descendents thereof, into a few sound bite quotes and you can just fuck right off if you think because I disagree with prosaic sayings, I must disagree with the message that do a great injustice to
It's amazing how when you make an apology to someone/some people it goes unnoticed or unaccepted yet when you don't realize someone is apologizing or don't accept an apology you're automatically the worst person ever. [editline]21st February 2012[/editline] It's pretty amazing how people work like that.

It just alienates people typing like you are writing an argumentative essay for college and in the end it doesn't matter what words you use but how well you use them to convey the message you want. I mean, that is just my personal opinion and yall both can keep doing whatever you like, but I can't take seriously any posts written like that.

But really, the posts aren't that hard to comprehend, nor are they so verbose that it takes any time getting through them. If its someone's style to be a little bit over indulgent in their word choice, why criticise them? I'd rather see something like Seith's posts than something completely devoid of any intelligence. Plus its a good learning tool. I didn't know what platitudes meant until now.
Do you guys ever have those times where there is no one around you who you are attracted to? I know nice people but there's no one I'd really want to be in a relationship with. It just kind of makes me feel sad, like I have no motivation, at least when you're attracted to someone you have a goal you can work towards, but right now.... The days just merge together, and I'm really not excited to see anyone throughout my day.

Again, vocab does NOT show intelligence and generally Seith shoves them together in such a horrible order that people can't even understand him. Intelligence and proper speaking as said before comes from your ability to convey a message, it doesn't matter how beautiful the words are if no one is willing to take the time to listen or decipher it.

My message was perfectly clear and it really says something sad if your whole argument is based on me using a word that developed in my area. It would be like you calling someone stupid for using the word color instead of colour, or gray instead of grey. It is pointless semantics and I can obviously see I hit a sore spot for you and as said before you can continue doing whatever you like.

Did anyone mention he did not understand or even wants to? No. People are busy deciphering my messages, as mere tools of a pretentious person at best so they could feel better about themselves.[/quote] This is just a mess, you seem to have the notion that people are trying to decipher your messages when most just laugh and skim. Even then the people who do attempt to "decipher" your posts have to decipher because they are horribly put together, not because they have any deep meaning what so ever. Your notions are not abstract, to create something abstract you have to know the realities and rules of whatever you are using so you can break them. You do not know English well enough to do so and while it is respectable that English is not your first language, to go as far to call your own writing "abstract" is ridiculous.
This thread has gone downhill.
[QUOTE=Dark_Light;34801312]This thread has gone downhill.[/QUOTE] Hey man Maverick made you the guardian of it, do your job!
Guardian of what? As long as there's no-one wanting advice in the thread then we can do whatever we want. Who knows, we might even get some good drama out of it and someone gets perma'd.
[QUOTE=DrBreen;34497562]i am king of thread, as such i will not let any questions or advice unanswered :v:[/QUOTE] What could possibly go wrong!
The problem with this thread is that certain people have certain ideologies and methods of communicating their ideologies to other people, which in turn starts a gigantic shitfest of "you're a dumbass" every other page. Sure, not a lot of people ask for advice anymore, and I'm beginning to feel like this is just a "let me vent about social stuff" thread. I guess it doesn't hurt, but TBH I miss Maverick's blunt, to-the-point advice.
its because everyone's trying to one-up each other instead of trying to suck maverick's dick when they were sucking up to maverick, at least some advice ended up getting through, but now that people are just trying to come out on top, none of them are focused on advice, just arguing.
I actually came to this thread, hoping people were actually discussing relevant stuff, but oh well
All this arguing is getting really tiring now....
At least maverick gave solid advice, so what if he was a dick? all you people do is whine about seith because you like the sight of your own posts.
Can we have Maverick back?
Alright, some time ago I posted about that girl I saw daily on the bus. I talked to her... three weeks ago for the first time (it was a Friday) and I went home over the weekend. She asked me if I had Facebook. "Of course" I said and right after that I asked her for her phone number. Well she didn't knew her own number and I was though'd: "Oh fuck fuck fuck I don't know mine either". Instead of making it awkward it made laugh a bit. Well, on the following Monday I gave her a sheet of paper with my full name and phone number on it. I don't know how I was supposed to interpret her smileing when she entered the number. We talked to each other every day in this week and now school is over and I had to go home.To my surprise, she suggested that I could come to her or she comes to me. (This was 2 weeks ago, on 5th) To the present: We chat on FB sometime and write SMS. I havn't talked to her about coming to me. How should I ask that? I have a shit talent for calling people on cell phones, in other words: I always call people in the worst moments.
We don't need Maverick. If you want Maverick's advice, look at the first page. Literally, the [i]only[/i] thing he'd say is, "Stop being a pussy, get it done." I've read it enough that I believe that's the answer. I don't know if it is; because to be honest, I haven't tried it myself. But he always said that your situation, more like than not, is the same as everyone else's with minor variations. The answer is the same, with minor variations. The answer is, "Ask her out." Almost every time. As to everyone else, I don't know what Contag is trying to get at. If he means to only point out Seith makes no sense in what he says, he's done it too complicated. Seith keeps trying to make us guess what he means, which is a pain in the ass because I don't want to read through his messy posts of broke sentences that misuse words. You guys say the thread is downhill, ignore (list) the people who make it difficult, and move on. Why is everyone such defeatists? And YugiReggie, please learn to post before you continue. I mean, [i]I don't in any way [/i], doubt your achievements that you claim, but please post reasonably if you want anyone (meaning me, hopefully others) to care. e. jono: "Hey, you want to come over on [some said date]?" Or "Hey, want to go out and do [some said activity] on [some said date]?"
Was supposed to go to the cinema on Friday, a second date if you will. She texted me yesterday saying that she can't go. I figured "Oh well.. I guess she didn't feel like it and came up with an excuse." Immediately after saying so she asks me to come and play golf with her the next day (That being today) and that is just what I did. Which was great fun even though the weather was shit. So yes, thing are going well to say the least.

Ok guys, let's get this going. I'm 16 years old and I'd like to think i'm a pretty nice guy. I'm smart, have a good group of friends, and enjoy most of my classes. Now comes the problem. Recently, it feels like nobody really respects me much. It feels like most everybody, including a lot of my friends, just sort of treat me like a small child. And it's really patronizing sometimes. Example: I was born slightly pigeon-toed and walk with a small inward slant on my left foot when i'm not paying attention to it. One of my really close friends constantly tells me to correct it, telling me "You walk like a woman". This feeling, not necessarily born of this guy, has been around for a while now and it won't go away. My family isn't the problem, they're actually pretty good about this, but whenever i try to bring it up with my friends or the other perpetrators, they just laugh it off. Because of the whole "child" perception. I'm not immature, nor do i look like a child, so i really don't know where the problem is coming from. Advice, anybody?
