Stop the Presses! Study Finds Bullies Pick On Unpopular Kids!

[Razgovory]

My school was pretty rough.  I got beat up a lot, but not as bad as some.  One kid had his nuts stomped so hard one of his testicles ruptured.  They also forced him down and pissed down his mouth.

Is that what the seduction community teaches? Tell stories full of bravado?

What the hell is a seduction community?

It sounds like a "How to get laid" self help book for nerds.

I never really noticed the cliques/ that seem to epitomize high school to Malthus and most Hollywood screen writers. People had their circles of friends, sure, but those groups were too small to form an outline of the whole school. Course, my school was big enough that I didn't know half the people in my class.

You are destroying yet another fixture of my American myth.

But you are not the only one who is saying that. I wonder why the "high school drama" is such a strong genre in American tv and movie productions.

Ouch. Sounds like a date gone bad.

The cliques were noticeable at my senior school, and in terms of friendships and activities were probably more important than what House (Platt's, Garnes etc.) you were in. Fortunately, none of the cliques were united by such a pathetic common principal as "let's bully somebody" but rather by shared interests and personalities.

You'll like this, they did it because they thought he was gay.  Kids name was Kenny.  They took him out of school after that.  Homeschool or private school I guess.  Didn't see him again after that.

I got off easy, the worst someone did to me was break my arm.  Well I suppose that this kind of thing did lead somewhat to me going fucking nuts.  I still have nightmares about that shit.

That's funny.

[Eddie Teach]

Members of the seduction community often practice approaching and opening repetitively; some have done thousands of approaches. Strauss describes a pickup artist who did 125 approaches in one day.[

So their secret apparently is "Keep trying and eventually you'll luck out."

I think I read somewhere that David Faustino was part of the community. Apparently he had as much trouble finding women in real life as he had as Bud Bundy on Married With Children.

I find Married with Children about unwatchable now.

Laserdisc?  Luxury!  We had "videodiscs" or "CED"s (basically a video record player):
