15 Things Women Say That Guys Don’t Want To Hear

Filed under Rants & Reviews
Some dude wrote a pretty good list of things that women say that we, as guys, just don’t want to hear. Check it out…
1 Any stories about ex-boyfriends, even ones told against the poor blokes. If your ex was a violent, brainless, tattooed ex-con, this will only make us feel boring and unmanly. And scared.
2 The phrase ‘I’d say it’s bang-on average, if not slightly bigger’. Best to steer clear of the size issue. Like us talking about your weight, it can only lead to misunderstanding and hurt.
3 Obsessive accounts of your diet and exercise regime. Men like skinny women, true. But they dislike being exposed to the borderline eating disorders and pathological obsessiveness that produce them. And curvy and sane always beats mad and thin. Eventually.
4 The accusing phrase, ‘What’s wrong with the blue dress, then?’ after we have said we like the red one.
5 Any details of your day at work. Although men can find the most basic things endlessly fascinating – the number of buttons on their shirts, farting – they will suddenly develop ADD when it comes to your professional life. Unless you are a porn actress. No, actually, even then…
6 Any information about things you thought about buying. We are perfectly happy to admire actual purchases, but yearning for those phantom shoes/dress/bag exasperates us.
7 Stories about other men patronizing you. This will give us an irresistible urge to ruffle your hair and say in a kids-TV voice, ‘Awww, did dey? Did dey do dat to oo?’ I know, sometimes we’re asking for trouble.
8 The word ‘Fine’ as a stand-alone sentence. The scariest syllable in the female vocabulary.
9 The sound of weeping. It destroys us.
10 Any details of strife you may be having with your female friends. The endless round of hurt and rapprochement that constitutes girls’ friendships mystifies us. If she’s that much trouble just delete her from your bloody mobile.
11 The phrase, ‘Hang on, I’ll just reply to this text before we order’. We want first claim on your attention, woman.
12 The phrase, ‘Can you turn over, you’re snoring’. Great, that’s both of us awake.
13 The words ‘Am I special? Am I?’ Especially if you are drawing a circle around our nipple with your finger at the time.
14 Anyone else’s name, in your sleep.
15 Your dreams. Unless we’re in them. And in a good light, too. If not, save ‘em for the shrink.
Not a bad start. Here are a few I can think of…
- "I’ll call you."
- "My period is late."
- "I feel bloated."
- "Your friend (or some TV actor or whatever) is hot!"
- "I have a headache."
- "My mom/sister/friend is coming into town."
- "My dad wants to meet you."
You guys got any you want to add?

Couple Falls To Death While Having Sex

What a way to go…
COLUMBIA, S.C. –Police on Wednesday were investigating how a naked couple fell 50 feet from the roof of a downtown office building to their deaths.
The bodies were found on the road by a passing cabdriver around 5 a.m. Wednesday.
Clothing was discovered on the roof, leading authorities to suspect the man and woman, in their early 20s, may have been having sex. Their identities were not released.
"It’s too early to rule out anything," Columbia police Sgt. Florence McCants said, but McCants said a preliminary investigation didn’t show any sign of foul play.
The moral of the story? Don’t bang chicks anywhere close to a ledge!
Sex With Drunk Girls May Legally Be Rape
June 20, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
After reading this article, I feel sorry for every single man living in the UK.
Men who have sex with drunken women risk being convicted of rape – even if they appear to have given consent.
Ministers will unveil the controversial proposals this week in a bid to boost conviction rates for sex offences and bring more ‘date rapists’ to justice.
A new white paper is expected to propose that judges should give firmer guidance to juries in cases where the woman has been drinking.
If a woman is deemed to have consumed so much alcohol that she is incapable of agreeing to make love, the man would be far more likely to be convicted of rape.
The new law would potentially open the way for the prosecution of thousands of men for having sex with drunk women – regardless of whether agreement had been given at the time.
Successful prosecutions for rape often founder before they get to court because of the difficulty in proving to juries that a victim had not given consent.
At the moment, a drunken woman is deemed to be capable of giving consent so long as she is not unconscious.
The law change is expected to lead to a huge rise in the current conviction rate of five per cent.
Proof of whether a woman was drunk would come from medical tests – as well as evidence from witnesses and victims.
The new law places a heavy responsibility on men to be certain that a woman is sober enough to know what she is doing.
Wow. This is like, the worst idea ever. If this were to ever happen in America, I’m thinking every man would leave the nation. Hell, some guys can’t get laid UNLESS the girl is drunk, lol. Can you imagine the hit to the economy with a bill like this? Bars would close down because no men would go there. I would think it would be easier to make it illegal for women to drink alcohol rather than to say that it’s a man’s responsibility to determine her "free will" at the time of the hook up.
I mean, honestly… isn’t there a measure of responsibility for the woman here? Shouldn’t she be aware of how much she can drink before getting too drunk to consent to sex? It’s a little thing called personal responsibility. Is a girl who got sloppy drunk then cries rape the legal equivalent of a drunk person who gets behind the wheel of a car and kills people? If alcohol is not an excuse for accidents while driving, can it really be an excuse for hooking up? Not in my book.
At least there are some sane people in the UK who seem to want to fight this absurd law…
Opponents of the proposals fear they may encourage some women to allege rape when they regret having had sex while drunk.
George McAuley, chairman of the UK Men’s Movement, said men may have to resort to obtaining written ‘contracts’ or using mobile phones to film their partners consenting to sex.
He said: "It means men will have to get a consent form signed, dated and countersigned in triplicate before they make love. This legislation is deliberately designed to put more men behind bars."
That’s exactly what it is. I mean, can you imagine having to get "proof of sobriety" before hooking up with a girl? Its crazy, and its anti-man. I’m surprised California didn’t try to pass something like this first.
For all of our UK brothers across the pond who want to protect their rights to bang drunk girls, I’d highly recommend you check out the UK Men’s Movement site and support their efforts to keep guys from getting shit on by the government.
Date People Using Your iPod

Okay, so online dating isn’t a big thing, but dating using your iPod just might be. There’s a new site out there called PodDater. It looks like a free dating site that’s trying to bridge the gap between "podcasts" and "Match.com." In theory its an interesting idea, but it doesn’t look like its quite caught on yet.
Basically, you go there, open up a profile, and then upload a video to your profile of you saying anything you want. Then, other people download that video onto their iPod and they can watch it (if they have a video iPod) or listen to it (if they have a crappy iPod that doesn’t support video). And then when they get back to a computer they can go and contact that person.
Now, it looks like the site is still in development, so it’s not quite where it should be yet. The idea of having a dating site where you can regularly upload audio or video podcasts to about yourself, what you’re doing, and what your dates were like sounds like a great idea – but it just doesn’t seem to be there quite yet.
You can check out PodDater for yourself here. Be sure to come back and let me know what you think of it.
Man With HIV Gets Life Sentence For Having Sex
June 18, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Personally, I’m all for this. Someone with HIV who dupes people into having unprotected sex without letting them know they’re infected are no better than killers and murders. They should suffer the same punishment.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — A man who spent five years in jail for exposing sexual partners to HIV was sentenced to life in prison for knowingly exposing another woman to the virus.
Sean L. Sykes, 33, was sentenced Tuesday. He was found guilty in May of having unprotected sex with a St. Joseph woman without telling her he was HIV-positive. Testimony at his trial — which was closed to the public to protect witnesses — indicated that he had exposed at least eight women to HIV. At least three have tested positive.
"I think it’s fairly clear he is a very dangerous individual," Buchanan County Prosecutor Dwight Scroggins said after the sentencing. "If he is not in prison, he would likely continue to spread HIV."
Sykes was convicted in 1997 of knowingly exposing someone to HIV. He was given the maximum sentence of 10 years, but was paroled in 2003.
Scroggins said Sykes has had "numerous" other unknown sexual contacts since he first tested positive 16 years ago.
"It’s not an immediate death sentence," said assistant prosecutor Kathleen Fisher, "but that’s what he’s done to these people, his victims."
This guy is one of the most despicable people I’ve ever heard of. They should Tatoo "I Have HIV" on his forehead so he can’t hurt anyone else.
State Of The Community
June 15, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
So yesterday I was graced with the presence of none other than the dynamic duo of fastseduction.com, Formhandle and TokyoPUA. They’re in LA visiting and I took them around town and hung out with them. I think the last time I had seen Formhandle was the 2004 PUA Summit at Project Hollywood, and this was the first time meeting TokyoPUA face to face.
Anyway, over lunch we had a lot of conversations about the "state of the community." These guys basically get to see all the "up-and-comers" in the PUA world thanks to their involvement in the hub of the community, and I’m in somewhat of a similar position because of this blog.
Anyway, what we shared with each other wasn’t good.
Back in the "heyday" of the community (at least as the three of us saw it), we had a lot of original thinkers posting some great stuff. You had people like Mystery, Style, Toecutter, Swinggcat, Juggler, Ross Jeffries, Tyler Durden, and a whole slew of others posting ideas, theories, field reports, and tons of other things – all of which were interesting to read.
The big problem now is that there seems to be a void because these people have stopped sharing ideas and posting to the community portals. They’ve withdrawn. I don’t think its because they’re all commercial and don’t want to post anymore, I think some of them are just busy living their lives and others have just lost interest in the community.
Which leaves the newbies…
Jessica Alba Wants One-Night Stands

So who DOESN’T want to bang Jessica Alba? Well, according to this article, that might not be as hard as you would think…
STUNNING actress Jessica Alba says she is up for a one-night stand – as long as the man leaves the next morning.
The curvy 23-year-old, who was recently romantically linked to Hollywood hunk Mark Wahlberg, likes the idea of getting intimate with lots of different people because she loves experimenting in sex.
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I just wanted to see what it was like to be with different people. I don’t think a girl’s a slut if she enjoys sex.
"I could have a one-night stand, and I’m the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like, ‘Do you really have to be here?’ I don’t need to cuddle and do all that stuff because I know what it is and I don’t try to make it more.
"I feel like a lot of women try to make it into more, so they don’t feel so bad about just wanting to have sex. I don’t really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have.
"Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I’m done with dating around."
I don’t know how accurate this article is. Alba is pretty much known to be somewhat of a "prude" when it comes to the sex stuff. (I think she’s also a devout Christian, though I might be mistaken.) Anyway, this is probably just a way of getting more publicity for her upcoming Fantastic Four movie. At least she’s not pulling a Katie Holmes and marrying some other Hollywood A-Lister.
Women Are Attracted To Men Who Look Like Their Father
June 13, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
The type of man who makes woman’s heart flutter has a lot to whether she was a daddy’s girl, according to a new study.
Women who got along well with their dads as kids are attracted to men who resemble their fathers, whereas women who had a bad father-daughter relationship do not.
Lynda Boothroyd, a psychologist at Durham University in England, and her colleagues at the University of Wroclaw and the Institute of Anthropology in Poland asked a trained anthropologist to perform facial measurements on the photographs of 15 random men as well as the photographs of the fathers of 49 Polish women participating in the study.
The anthropologist calculated 15 key proportions based on how various features—such as the lips, nose, cheekbones and brows—related to each face’s height and width. The researchers also compared the 15 random faces to each of the father’s faces to determine how closely they resembled one another.
The women then rated their childhood relationships with their fathers based on how emotionally invested they felt their dads had been in raising them and how much time their fathers had spent with them. The women were split into two groups based on how positively or negatively they rated their relationships.
Then the researchers asked the women to rate how attractive they found each of the 15 random male faces.
The women who had reported positive relationships with their fathers were much more likely to be attracted to men resembling their fathers, the researchers found. On the other hand, women with bad dad relationships did not find men who looked like their fathers appealing.
“While previous research has suggested this to be the case, these controlled results show for certain that the quality of a daughter’s relationship with her father has an impact on whom she finds attractive,” Boothroyd said in a prepared statement. “It shows our human brains don’t simply build prototypes of the ideal face based on those we see around us, rather they build them based on those to whom we have a strongly positive relationship.”
Although no one yet knows for sure why females show these preferences, a woman with a great dad may choose a similar-looking mate in the hopes that he will also be a good father, the researchers wrote.
It’s no secret that you can figure out a lot about how to pick up a woman based on her relationship with her father. Typically, women who had bad relationships with daddy are easier to get into bed fast, but they are also harder to deal with in the long term. (At least, that’s been my experience.)
The interesting thing I’ve found about this article is that the women are actually attracted to certain PHYSICAL features that their father had, based on their relationship with him. And women who had a bad relationship with daddy were actually repulsed by similar features.
So if you have a really hot chick who hates daddy, and her daddy is a really good looking guy, then chances are there are physical things about "good looking guys" she doesn’t find appealing. Interesting, right?
Just more proof that you can never tell what, exactly, a girl’s "type" is.
The Real – Honest To God – Ball Breaker

This bitch deserves to die. Seriously.
Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That’s yours."
Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.
‘Pulled hard’
Sentencing Monti, Judge Charles James said it was "a very serious injury" and that Monti was not acting in self defence.
The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but "open relationship" with Monti towards the end of May last year.
The pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back for drinks with friends at Mr Jones’s house.
An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.
In his statement, Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard".
He added: "That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."
The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones’s testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.
She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.
In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.
She said: "It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person."
The letter added: "I have challenged myself to explain what has happened but still I just cannot remember. This has caused much anguish to me and will do for the rest of my life."
You don’t mess with another man’s package like that. EVER. There should be a fuckin’ database of "ball offenders" who need to register and tell all their neighbors about their crimes.
No Happy Endings – Iran Votes To Kill Porn Stars
June 13, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
There’s always been a debate about pornographic material here in America, but I don’t think the far right would ever go this far:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world."
The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual’s criminal offenses. Under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.
The "main elements" refered to in the draft include producers, directors, cameramen and actors involved in making a pornographic video.
The bill also envisages convictions ranging from one year imprisonment to a death sentence for the main distributors of the movies and also producers of Web sites in which the pornographic works would appear.
Besides videos, the bill covers all electronic visual material, such as DVD and CDs. Other material, such as porn magazines and books are already banned under Iranian law.
To become law, the bill requires an approval by the Guardian Council, a constitutional watchdog in Iran.
Apparently the bill just stopped short of making it illegal to WATCH the darn stuff. No wonder they have people running around blowing themselves up in that part of the world. If they just had more pornography, they’d probably just be content to stay at home all day long!
I say we airdrop some Playboys into Fallujah STAT!
Anyway, apparently this whole bill came up as a response to a recent "sex tape scandal" in Iran where their own version of Paris Hilton – some Iranian actress – was filmed doing the nasty and then had it released.
What gets me about THAT particular event was that the poor woman involved had absolutely NO part in making the video available to the public, yet people what to have her whipped and sent to jail. Jeesh.
I’d like to see the passage in the Koran where it says it’s okay to kill a billion people in the name of Muhammad, but you can’t look at a naked lady.
Where Does Confidence Come From?
June 11, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Here’s a recent message I got from a MySpace user…
Wow well i must congratulate u on making one of the best books of our time, lol
Ive read it all and its the greatest stuff..i know enough praising.. only thing is i find it really hard to approach women, i mean i don’t see the problem when i think about it when its quiet, but as soon as i’m at a bar/club its like my feet are in cement n all the things i remembered just leave my head
I know i can only overcome this by going out there and just doing it but i don’t know why i can’t, lol, just wondering how u managed to and where the confidence comes from.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated
Well, I try to cover this as much as possible in The Art Of Approaching (the book this guy is talking about), but I guess I’ll go into it a bit more in-depth here because this seems to be a large topic of interest for a number of guys.
I always hear people lament "Wow, meeting women is so hard!" And you know what? It can be. There seems to be a myth out there that Approach Anxiety can be "stomped out" forever. But in my experience, that just isn’t the case.
I know a lot of big time pick-up artists – guys who go out every night and always pull girls – who still suffer from approach anxiety. I know there are times when I, myself, still do, and I’ve been doing this for a LONG time!
I think the notion that a guy can "always be confident" is an unrealistic expectation to hold oneself to. Approach Anxiety will always be there in some form or another, because successfully meeting women has a lot to do with your MINDSET.
So then the question becomes: Is it simply a matter of feeling the fear and doing it anyway?
Well, yes and no.
Porn King & Political Scandals

If any of you Pick-Up Artists out there have hooked up with a politician, wife of a politician, or daughter of a politician, then you may want to take a look at this…
Larry Flynt, who once ran for the White House under the slogan "a smut peddler who cares", yesterday sought to spread his own brand of love around in Washington by offering cash rewards for tales of sexual scandal.
In a full-page advertisement in yesterday’s Washington Post, Mr Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, offered a $1m (ВЈ500,000) reward for anyone willing to tell all about their affair with an elected official – and provide proof.
"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" asks the ad. "Can you provide documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with a congressperson, senator or other prominent officeholder?
Those willing to betray their partners – or, more likely, exes – were invited to contact Mr Flynt or Hustler by a free-phone number or email.
Personally, I think this is great! Make those politicians stick to their promises and keep them from getting into trouble!
E-Harmony Is Anti-Gay?
June 4, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Well, it looks like the E-Harmony Dating site is being sued by for discriminating based on sexual orientation. Turns out they don’t offer their services for gays, lesbians, or bi-sexuals. Here’s the skinny…
A lawsuit alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Linda Carlson, who was denied access to eHarmony because she is gay.
Lawyers bringing the action said they believed it was the first lawsuit of its kind against eHarmony, which has long rankled the gay community with its failure to offer a "men seeking men" or "women seeking women" option.
They were seeking to make it a class action lawsuit on behalf of gays and lesbians excluded from the dating service.
eHarmony was founded in 2000 by evangelical Christian Dr. Neil Clark Warren and had strong early ties with the influential religious conservative group Focus on the Family.
It has more than 12 million registered users, and heavy television advertising has made it one of the nation’s biggest Internet dating sites.
The company said the allegations of discrimination against gays were false and reckless.
You know what gets me about this? E-Harmony is a private company. They can cater to anyone they want to. There are tons of dating sites out there that cater to gays and lesbians, why should they care if E-Harmony wants to cater to them?
Besides, if they were to find out how much E-Harmony sucks, they probably wouldn’t even bother wasting their time with it.
Sex With A Partner Is 400% Better!
May 8, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Medical Science never ceases to astound me with their conclusions…
LOVERS know only too well that men usually need a "recovery period" after orgasm, and that sexual intercourse with orgasm is more satisfying than an orgasm from masturbation alone. Now scientists think the two phenomena might be linked.
Following orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released into the bloodstream in both men and women. The hormone makes us feel satiated by countering the effect of dopamine, which is released during sexual arousal.
Stuart Brody of the University of Paisley, UK, and Tillmann KrГјger of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, measured blood prolactin levels in male and female volunteers who watched erotic films before engaging in masturbation or sexual intercourse to orgasm in the laboratory.
Surprisingly, after orgasm from sexual intercourse, the increase in blood prolactin levels is 400 per cent higher in both sexes compared with after orgasm from masturbation (Biological Psychology, vol 71, p 312).
This explains why orgasm from intercourse is more satisfying than masturbation, says Brody. Since elevated levels of prolactin have been linked to erectile dysfunction, this may also explain why most men need a recovery period after sex.
Sex with partner > masturbation.
Duh.
