u you want to be all yes dude just cause hey sure but like what are you getting yrself into - the neediness having actually nothing to do w/any sort of observed hotness - so ur just all yup - basically ~this~ guy

omg that cartoon is kinda awesome

the only panel that jars is the funeral service one, i don't think that one is necessary, or at least, it could stand to be less wacky/crude

"take the punchline out" says j@ggr

most of those comics aren't that great but that one is pretty good. There are a couple other good ones

it works if it's just meant to be a snapshot of the funeral service i guess - bathetic life going on beneath as he succumbs to the trappings of empty nirvana -

yeah this. i don't want to step all over a person's awkward gesture of community ("let's agree on THIS") but almost every time i've been like haha sure man get after it i've been pulled into an orbit around what appears to be a slightly hostile planet

"haha sure man she's a good one"
"you know it!...hey, you know who ~I'd~ like to fuck?"
"*(oh christ)*"

lool

Crepes passing in the night

im generally not tolerating guy talk - lets talk abt chix but really we r talking abt us - and its much worse w/some weird random

I heard "sometimes the skirt's so short you just gotta stare" last week

lol i tend to seize up when strangers speak to me in general so i think i'd be like "uhhhh yeah" and haul ass outta there

often more than slightly, plus mostly awful

that is about the planet of ass guy

re: hostility of

swear that at bars the people that decide randomly to talk to me are these guys or they are v drunk girlfriends sitting bored next to boyfriends who are laughing with their bros. all rolling their eyes over at those dudes and asking me, hey what's with that shirt (ed: it is just a shirt) hahahahaha i'm kidding, man i would kill for a cigarette, you got one?

i have also heard this! like word for word!

lewd men and their thoughts: my life as a clueless nerd

by G.B. Xavier

between this and the latest video on 'o_O posts' i am feeling a bit ill, gah

yeeks double guilty

yes i just watched part of that and completely regret it. at least gbx's guy is, like, trying to connect irl?

like, i have been on a bit of a feminist tip recently, but stuff like this is just really unsettling in a way some of the more obviously awful stuff isn't

used up cumrag made ill by cartoon

Got that cartoon, framed, in a box somewhere in my mom's basement. It hung in my dormroom, and made me different.

it's like a real life WS thread but with horrible men no one else wants to talk to

this isn't that different from 77 WS thread

had prepared a whole post abt how i think figuring out how to deal with "this guy" is an impt part of growing up and learning to be a human--but really there is no way to ever deal with this guy is there

i've never gotten this, but i get strangers saying racist things to me and expecting me to agree with them.

yah i never get rando dudes tyrna bond with me over their sexual interest in some women

voted chick was slammin I will not lie

i feel like a disproportionate # of ppl ask me for directions tho which makes me feel guilty abt never knowing where anything is

A homeless guy once said it to me while I was passing him by. He was lounging on some wall, I think. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I think I thanked him. But I'm not sure.

I heard "sometimes the skirt's so short you just gotta stare" last week

This is true, but not in the way it was meant, I don't think. Norah Jones was on Colbert last week, sitting on a bar stool in a skirt that was never meant to see a bar stool. She was clearly uncomfortable. She kept her hands folded in her lap the entire interview, presumably to keep from going the full hoo-ha. It was distracting. So yeah, I stared, but it was more like, "Yikes. That's an accident waiting to happen!"

As for pointing out asses and engaging in overfamiliar, lewd conversation: I have gotten this a lot from cab drivers. Sometimes it's disgusting leering, and sometimes it's complaining about their wife or girlfriend in a tone of, "You know how WOMEN are!" Nothing you can say, really, plus you're stuck inside a moving vehicle with ~this~ guy.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

~THIS~ guy is a hero tbh, tellin it like it is. asses be slammin.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

a strange ass asks if you saw the man on that one

lol @ results

gimme a minute to come up with something...

the fact that you have no examples makes it really hard to understand why you're even arguing this

I never been bootied, I save that for the farts
The kids blowin' hot air that got they heads gassed
Tail-waggin' rappers and y'all still come in dead last
I rain on suckas while some choose to drizzel
You come up with beef, you leave with no teeth and gristle

re: the concrete example that que asked for

i dunno. i have had many friends over the years who, especially when drunk, will reveal questionable aspects of themselves. will make unpleasant jokes, will confess attitudes i find distasteful, etc. bitching in their loneliness about "women". having weird pseudo-psychoanalytic theories about why people are gay. at the very worst, getting into "the problem with ____ people" type straight-up old-school racism.

sometimes i've called people on it, sometimes not - depending on the severity and situation. but i think a lot of people have weird little pockets inside their brains where strange transactions work themselves out. i have the idea, perhaps ridiculous, that people in general are much less apt to publicly voice these things than they once were.

elmo argonaut super otm wr2 this though. a big reason why we don't have these sorts of floodgate-opening, consciousness-raising discussions anymore is that the issues have largely been settled. there's no point in endlessly rehashing the same material, listening politely to the same old dunder-headed "theories" and offering a politely worded rebuttal. i get that.

like i said way back, i'm not 100% clear on how i feel about any of this. i've been trying to explore an idea more than argue a thesis.

thing is, I can easily see how ~this guy~ would not understand how he was being offensive, or sexist, or threatening. getting offensive people to cop to their own offensiveness is a losing battle ime.

Yeah, unfort you are probably right. But getting pretty smart, mostly reasonable people like the frquently posting crowd on ILX to understand how it's offensive should not take 1000 posts, imo.

touche

but i think we've all been in accord about his being a creepy jerk from word 1

did you see the touche on that one (sorry)

guys you can't let this thread die

has it??

1,l69

that's a pretty un-concrete concrete example

in the interest of keeping things going, I am curious as to whether ILX thinks that any/and all generalizations made about an ethnic group or subset thereof are inherently racist

any and/or all

chinese ppl are the most disgusting savages in all the world imo

that's a pretty un-concrete concrete example

again, i tend to think that lots of people have ideas like this kicking around their heads, and that many of us have these kinds of conversations in private, on reasonable, civil terms. but the only way they seem to occur in public is in the form of highly polarized shouting matches, where each side claims a position of unassailable moral superiority and insists that all opposition be defeated. which depresses me. and i think it contributes to a squashed, dishonest civic culture.

Just read this thread, and all I could think about the whole time was this particular post by goole.

:)

ahahahahahahahahaha

:(

not in that club. quote?

cell phone pic of the ass on that one

presumably taken by goole

doubt it, if only because we do not have public transportation like the transportation on that one

goole is just about the last dude i would expect to take a pic of a girls ass on a train frankly

ha, that, too. "if only" was not to suggest that i'd think otherwise, just that mpls does not have trains that look like that

presumably...

;)

Hi dere guy one the train who just said something to this affect

this thread <3

I have reversed my opinion on this topic

this has happened to me twice in the last month or so

approve of dan's latest mod actions tbh

do not approve of dan's latest mod actions tbh

would request a list of 'banned words' on ILX if i was really that invested, rather than interested in a lazy/theoretical way tbh

kudos on finding the least appropriate thread possible to revive for this

guys, it's friday, can we have fun instead of bein all intense xpost w/ppl who wanna be all intense

this is like the rolling 'angry feminist' thread and i self-identify as one

but yeah, ass. friday ass.

friday ass.

this is such a great classic thread

was I otm in it, all that matters

always feel like people saying this sort of stuff to you implies you're both in some sort of secret club

makes me want to figure out which one, so I can tear up my membership card

One time I responded to this sort of thing by saying, like, "what, the guy in the tank top?" Which I thought was pretty funny, but I'm also pretty sure the ass-commentator was thinking about punching me, so I might not try that again.

So many dudes are just constantly being all "hey NUDGE NUDGE I notice we are both HETEROSEXUAL"

A guy at work: "Sunny days make you wish you had a roofie gun."

do u work at JAIL

no one has ever asked me this

On one hand, I am glad that I posted a legitimate concerned thought to this thread.

On the other hand, I am very sad that I never used the d/n "a strange man"

Raymond Carver's "They're Not Your Husband" to thread.

idgi, if the rat is wild why is he sharing cheese with the man

link shows neat impromptu recreation of 'Partition' video imo
