Are you a blogger "Yes." Strike one. What do you blog about "Technology and gadgets" Strike two. Who do you blog for? "Gizmodo." Strike three.

Someone please post this on her twitter account, it's gold.

Alcohol is not used in the rankings. A girl is judged sober and with a limp dick.

Depending on your drunkenness, you might bang a girl you may have otherwise thought unbangable, but that does not move her from the category of "no bang." That just means you need better friends.
Ha ha, fair enough!
 
The Crimson Blur said:
There are only 4 rankings.

No Bang
Bang
Bang with Vigor
(the legendary 5th chakra gate) Rhino

All girls fall within those 4 rankings.

Shes a No bang.

Lets be real, the real scale is 0 and 1, either you do or you don't. Everything else is just justification.
 
The Crimson Blur said:
Oh so you're like a video game reviewer.

The scale starts at 7 and ends at 10.

Yeah, 7.3 doesn't seem that off-base with that type of scale.

Call me shallow but here's my scale:
1- Obese
2- Very fat/ and short
3- Very fat/ and tall
4- Ugly face meh body
5- Plain, no noticeable features
6- Butterfaces
7- Well maintained body, aight face
7.3 - This lady
8- Nice face, good enough body
9- Beautiful face, great body
9.5- Beautufil face beautiful body
10- Triple takes. Just GASP.


And yes I'm a virgin. I do have a girlfriend though. Shes an 8.1
 
I'd let Jon Fickle sign my deck.


No really, I think I bought a special "champion" magic deck with his signature printed on the cards. I don't know why or how I did.

Is this the guy in question?

If so it is quite a feat to feel that smug and superior with looks like hers.
He's hotter than her. He dodged a bullet. I'd date him.

I may have found the problem everyone.

Your number 4 is a pretty spot on description of this woman.

So she's a he?

I kid I kid!!!!

but really, stop trying to justify yourself, it's not working
 
I later found out that Jon infiltrated his way into OKCupid dates with at least two other people I sort of know, including one of my co-workers. Mothers, warn your daughters! This could happen to you. You'll think you've found a normal bearded guy with a job, only to end up sharing goat cheese with a guy who takes you to a one-man show based on Jeffrey Dahmer's life story

Oh snap, he went out with a few of your casual acquaintances = he's stalking you.

The whole warn your daughters was over the top and straight up rude. Magic players aren't allowed the date, duhhhhhhhhhhh.

Justify what? My opinion?


no no no I'm sorry that was the wrong word, you don't have to justify yourself..


I'm just saying you're in the vast majority of people with that opinion

this is correct IMO
 
It is painfully ironic that in a thread about how this woman is being dismissive and shallow there are dozens of posts judging her based on a picture of her. Truly ridiculous.

I don't know where you get this extra .3 from either.

I met this girl and she makes a living blogging about gadgets on the Internet! Oh heavens!

Glad I got out of there quickly.

Yeah, I'm not sure where her sense of superiority comes from. Gizmodo's biggest claim to fame is having purchased Apple's stolen property. Not exactly the brass ring of journalism.

Yeah I think it's a little uncalled for, myself. It's her personality that matters and it seems she has a pretty shitty one, going by this article. If she was the coolest girl in the world it wouldn't really matter what she looked like.

Nah brah, the amount of effort I put is directly proportional to her looks.

If shes aiiight, then I just nut and get it over with.

If shes bangin, then I show her a good time.

If shes legendary status, then I rhino her till she cries and is curled in the fetal position crying herself to sleep. This is reserved for the ultra-rare, hollywood type chicks.

She deserves it for acting all high and mighty while being kind of ogly.

The nerdrage is predictably fierce. The dude comes off as an extremely geeky weirdo as evidenced by the Magic lifestyle and the Dahmer shit, sorry if it offends fans of either. Most women in real life are not going to put up with a man with interests in either of those, let alone both. What point do any of you that got your feelings hurt by the article hope to prove by tweeting/posting demeaning things about her? Because that's mostly what it's looked like so far in this thread: hurt feelings. You're not gonna change women's minds by vehemently defending a fantasy card game. The staunchness of the responses probably serves to justify their avoidance of such hobbies/lifestyles.

Speak for your fucking self, thanks.

Quite the cluster fuck of a thread it seems.

Fix'd for you.

Jesus had it right on this one.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

We're just being good christians.
 
When a story makes Jon Finkel into a victim, you know someone did something wrong. This woman comes off like a real bitch. There really wasn't any need for her to mention him by name, which just makes the whole thing pretty embarrassing.

Yeah I'd give her a 4 out of 10 and I'm picky. She's homely but not revolting. No body to speak of, but that's preferable to obesity. She'd have zero chance of going out with me. If I was drunk and stoned, and hadn't jacked off in a week and she just begged for it, I'd let her suck my dick, but that's about it.
 
I am a 35 year old single guy who plays videogames and has a pretty good job (NOTHING as sweet as a hedge fund manager) and dabbles in online dating.

I will tell you, the nerd stigma of things like gaming and Magic or whatever is still out there. I mean, mostly by idiots and women who deserve to be single in their mid-30s, but it's there. In the past two weeks alone I have gotten three variations of "I didn't know grown men owned Xboxes". Mostly in jest, but one woman couldn't have been more turned off if I had told her I was a registered sex offender.

It's a good way to weed out the morons. It really is. A lot of the women who bust out with that kind of stuff I see on these dating sites year after year after year. So yeah.

Joke's on them.

And her article!

Not so! If someone posted like, "this is my girlfriend... she soo sweet to me and I love her!" Everybody would comment, like, "oh wow, she's pretty good job man, best of luck to you!" But, after reading her article, fuck that.
