However, as I've watched this thread deteriorate I've watched your attitude get worse and worse. True, a few here jumped your s**t, but if you want to make it out here you better grow a much thicker skin. Not everyone is going to like you, and there is a good chance that a few folks will let you know straight up. It isn't just Vegas, it's every metro in the country. You move to a city with 2 million people in it and it's to be expected.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I've been fair and consistent with my advice, so I'll give you just a little more. Your attitude towards women, as well as people that don't agree with you, absolutely sucks. It's womens job to find a guy that will let her put his balls in her purse? Where did you pick up that little nugget of information about the humanities? Archie Bunker or Al Bundy? What's wierd about it is at moments you seem to have a real grasp on life (i.e. casual sex or friends with benefits being about shared experience). That is a very mature way at looking at it, and plenty of people that are into FWB look at it exactly like that, with both partners being equals. But then you start with the negative stereotypes about women trying to trap men, etc.

I think if you want to make it in any major city you should probably talk less and listen more first of all. You might just learn something. I think you should pull back on the arrogance a bit as well. Nothing wrong with being confident, but walking around thinking that your the bee's knees (corny, I know) isn't going to cut it when you don't have anything going for you. There are tens of thousands of men out here that have much more going on than you by what I can tell. I'm not talking about money either, so you can stop beating that dead horse. I'm talking about something to offer, whether it be a positive attitude or just making her comfortable around her. So far I haven't seen any actual positive vibe coming from you.

Anyway, I'm done here. I think I summed it up pretty well. You'll probably come back all butt hurt and talk about how the locals are d1cks and the women are fake, but it's just not true. Too bad you can't see that.

hmmm, not sure how you get that impression. Perhaps my attitude doesnt translate well over text.

I have a saying, and it goes like this:

"1/3 of the people will love me, 1/3 will hate me, and 1/3 don't give a sweet damn either way."

That's one thing I love about metro area's. People arn't passive aggressive, they are REAL with you and straight up. I like people with some class too. Yet another reason I want to move to a city.

I never said they try to "trap" men. If a man agree's to it then he should be doing it because he really wants to, not because he feels "trapped". Perhaps your the one with the negative outlook towards it. Just something to chew on.

Actually I have never heard that saying before. Good stuff.

Well I see it differently. I have been the one who came on here with a positive idea, and tried to defend your city saying that it cant be THAT bad and you guys insist that it is some sort of prostitute city where you need money to buy women.

Now here is my lesson to you:

Never "assume" because when you "assume" you make an ass out of me and you make an ass out of you. I think I might have got that one from Bundy as well....

Anyways guys I gotta run -- my shift at the waffle house started 10 minutes ago!!

There has been a couple of things written that made you sound like, for lack of a better description, a young punk. It is just text though, and obviously context or intent (or sarcasm or any other nuance for that matter) doesn't translate well.

That's actually a pretty good saying, and certainly truth.

Well, people will definitely be straight up with you here.

I gotta disagree with you on this one. Saying that it's a woman's job to try and find a man...etc. is an extremely negative outlook, and it's not necessarily fair to women. Like I said, at times it seems like you have a good head on your shoulders but then you will write something that makes me wonder if you thought before you responded.

I actually can't stress that enough, especially to young guys. I used to work construction, so I saw quite a few come and go. Although everyone of them was different, you couldn't tell by how they talked. They could not shutup about what they had done or what they could do or what they were going to do. Many of these guys were much bigger than me and thought they were the cat's pajamas. I just kept my head down and my mouth shut and proceeded to work circles around them. Many of these guys did not last a week. First point about said tidbit, put up or shutup.

Also, think of it in terms of a poker table. You sit down with chips. Do you start yapping and talking smack trying to put sharks on tilt (never happen) or do you sit down and watch and listen, looking for tells? Second point about said tidbit, you can't gather the info necessary to win the game if you can't hear what others are saying.

That may be your perception of how it happened, but I assure you it's not and others will back me up on this.

Your original post made it seem like you had the impression that life out here was like a tourism commercial. We simply pointed out that if you wanted to live the commercial that you better have a roll. After you clarified I did so as well.

Also in the risk of getting into a battle of the sexes debate, have you ever had sex with a guy that you dont end up getting in a serious relationship with for whatever reason? I bet the answer is yes. Did he "buy" the sex? I doubt it. I am just looking to find the right girl, just like you spent time looking for the right guy. There's no need to rush it.
No, you are NOT discusting. You are not even disgusting!

My attention was caught by the thread title... so I read every mind-numbing page of this, and my conclusion is that Mack is a devoted Tom Leykis listener. This is exactly the attitude cultivated on Leykis' radio show.

Sorry I had to chime in on this. It's like rubber-necking at the scene of an accident.
