        intellectual pretentiousness, delusions of superiority, and the inability to distinguish between "some" and "all"? *far* less appealing than lack of - b! May 9, 13:38 11

        "Honey" is pretty condescending, the way you use it. -- nm - mara May 9, 14:20 7
        
        I don't think he considers "delusional" to be pejorative. - b! May 9, 14:28 1
        
        Oh, stop already.. This is getting old. - Facto May 9, 14:46
        
        Well, I also wrote "deluded folks" - Facto May 9, 14:27 2

        Amanda chose to get pissed off and take personally something I wrote that had absolutely nothing to do with her. - Facto May 9, 13:38 13
        
        Not that it applies anymore to this place than any other - for the record. (Bad phrasing on my part.) As internet forums go, this one doesn't seem at - Facto May 9, 14:06 2
        
        your approbation warms our little cyber hearts. we're not worthy. -- nm - b! May 9, 14:09 1

        Indeed. -- nm - Facto May 9, 14:23
        
        Getting off on irritating people is worse. You have the issues. Most people grow out of your stage when they are in their early teens. - Redmond of Persia May 9, 13:42 5
        
        Well, I never do that. And I really am not into irritating people even. - Facto May 9, 13:47 4
        
        "We veered"? Your first post in the thread was about yourself and reactions to you. -- nm - mara May 9, 13:49 3
        
        Allow me to modify that. - Facto May 9, 13:57 2
        
        I think "cyber-" is still in the vernacular of charlatans and posers. -- nm - mara May 9, 14:01 1

        Watch out Callisto you are on deck. -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 9, 13:29
        
        You don't need to be talking about yourself to be unappealing. -- nm - mara May 9, 13:27 1
        
        Thanks, but I wasn't wondering about that, honey ;-) -- nm - Facto May 9, 13:36

      - Why can't people just face the truth about human nature? - Facto May 9, 13:22
- I think it's a pretty good list. Some things will be more attractive to the superficial type of woman, but that may be kind of the point. -- nm - mara May 9, 12:40 2
  - Doesn't matter whether a woman is superficial, as long as she's smoking hot. - Facto May 9, 13:40
  - funny that you show up, I was thinking about you today -- nm - marcel May 9, 12:45
