You just need to get laid

So who here has a Orpheus?

 

[plainsong]

Not everyone has his deaf ears. No problems in my sex life.

It`s wayy too long...

 

[cadobhuk]

I do need.I need badly.But I dont see how.Too ugly and too crazy.

 

[spilner]

It's easy - according to this article, it's enough to buy the Orpheus and drive a Porsche to have women fighting for you...

What a load of ***. The author is not only deaf, I feel he has some inferiority complex about his own sexuality, and tries to explain his problems with the opposite sex by telling around that girls only like guys with big wallets, which is a pretty primitive stereotype.

There was an interesting test made by VIVA. They took two regular guys, gave them two totally different cars - one got a brand new BMW 325i convertible, and the other one - a 30 year old Citroen 2CV (like in the old Luis de Funes movies). They were both supposed to drive downtown and try to pick up girls. Results at the end of the day?
BMW guy: none.
2CV guy: two immediate dates, two already booked for the next day.
So much for the stereotypes and pseudo-scientific essays.

Although not totally wrong this essay is ridiculously one-dimensional.
We have hundreds of thousands sociologists nowadays in Europe.
Many of them seem to be leeches, armed with terminology, which have found their niche.
In order to justify their existence inside the scientific world they have to produce papers.
Contact to reality is not required.

Um isn't the orpheus discontinued though? And yea that was way too long and boring to read...

 

[Reader]

I think that issue is a load of crap, and I don't think he has heard HE90. But that was a good laugh though.

aside from the fact that that was hardly a scientific test since a. the sample size was hopelessly inadequate and b. two different guys were used, it's a fact that wealth, power and influence attract women. imo any attempt to deny that not only seems escapist in nature, but hopelessly idealist. fine, so material wealth doesnt figure for much in your life - but it may, and does, in the lives of others.

dont any of you guys watch reality dating shows, let alone go out?

Well... No, I don't watch "reality dating shows", I just don't feel the need to do that.

Instead, I love meeting girls. They bring a lot of joy and sunshine into our dark world. And although there is a certain kind of girls, who are attracted to the money and to the money only, I rarely meet any of them. Those who I meet, go out with, have fun with don't seem to do that "money factor" selection.
The selection they always make, however, is more like "snob factor". Guys who flash their wallets are dismissed immediately and not taken into consideration. That's why I never take my car when I meet someone for the first time, I don't want to be considered a snob. A romantic walk in the park or watching sunsets together is a much better idea. And it pays off, believe me.

You don't have to convince me that material wealth is important in life. But it's not a good idea to flash it from the start, because you'll end up with a girl who wants your money and not you.

hey - we think the same way!

and you're lucky that you meet such girls. imo they are sadly just becoming all too quickly a rare commodity in the world.

Think so? Hmmm. I'd say there's still plenty of them...

Anyway, if the unspeakable happens and they're all gone someday - we'll always have our headphones, won't we?

 

[plainsong]

I'm one of those non-shallow girls. We're still around...

The only wealth I care about is your audio setup.
