You’re all correct that it wasn’t directed at me and I didn’t take it as if it was but shouldn’t we call people out on their shit when we see it, regardless of who it’s directed toward? And maybe I did misread but it came off as just targeting guys that don’t have his advanced linguistic capabilities in order to assert his own superiority. I’m all for putting your best foot forward but if you have to do it on the backs of others, that’s just dirty pool.

Ok, so let me get this right. A guy who states a fact, like it or not it is a fact, but saying that he sees he might have more to offer than the caveman and dickheads is pretentious. But hey, if you do it in public you're an asshole, but... *if you have to do it on the backs of others, that’s just dirty pool.* So how does he have to post it? He wanted to post it all in devs only through me, as I hope you so clever men must have guessed it's aimed to devs (and no cavemen) But I just thought the feedback would be impossible as he respects the devs only section. And, honestly, his journey to finally end up here is interesting in my honest and humble opinion. So I told him to post it here. But, even though I have to say I am still shocked it had to be @mrniceguy who jumped right to the throat of a new user, amongst others I might not be so shocked ( James, maybe, sorry about being honest), I should have thought about the competitiveness here, and figure out some would feel threatened and bark about something they have little idea... Or maybe some of you have any idea about posting cavemen profile sentences and censurable pictures??? Guys, trust me, I could travel all around the world in 80 dicks pics. No joke. And the journey itself is forgotten. But hey, nothing wrong. You can express yourself without any respect if that's your style. Nice guys usually are able to stand corrected. Thanks Mets for clarifying what your intentions are. @mrniceguy, I am mad at you. Thought you actually were a nice guy and not a strong/dick head... Really |

What about letting the ladies form their own opinion? Since it was a post obviously directed towards them? And we're not mindless idiots but can decide as individuals by ourselves if someone sounds pretentious or not and if we want to talk to them or not? And we're not anyone's sheep herd to defend from wolves?
There's a somewhat patronizing atmosphere creeping in and I don't like it. But that's just my silly female opinion, what do I know?

zealandia, thanks for sharing your story and observations. Thank you, shape for encouraging him. I really liked the part about the shyness. I find shyness somehow really sexy, of course especially when it involves an interesting and a little enigmatic person. Also, I have often imagined what it must be like to have sex with a deaf guy. In my fantasy, there is something extra intimate about it because I guess there would be eye contact all the time... I couldn't tell him so easily verbally what I want him to do, or just make him understand what I like through my sighs and moaning. Would he be as attentive in bed as he seems to be while we're talking? Or is that only something that the lip reading insinuates and later, he turns out to be rather selfish? Does he feel more because one of his senses is switched off? Yeah, so interesting...

I’m confused are you the victim or zealandia There's no victim. Do you think there is one? I think there is just a bunch of different opinions and we're discussing them. My opinion is that some of the guys had an unnecessary reaction to a comment that had nothing to do with them, on a thread that was not written for them. People can have discussions and even arguments without anyone feeling like they are a victim. |

I would like to say something, eloquently, but using the word "thing" way too often.
I agree that it is a good thing to be eloquent (like, be able to say things that will make you achieve the intended thing). I am not sure about the thing you wanted to achieve with this thread though, and I thing, oops, think, that you might not have achieved it.

Thanks Mets for clarifying what your intentions are. @mrniceguy, I am mad at you. Thought you actually were a nice guy and not a strong/dick head... Really So, here's the root of disagreement in this case for me. I didn't read anything about dick pics or even the overly aggressive behavior that I've spoken out against in the past. The way I read his post was someone new coming here and stating for the ladies that their suffering of dumb guys with small vocabularies was over and the fact that most of the guys here have inferior language skills in comparison to his. As far as being pretentious, I couldn't care less. I know from experience that some people are drawn to that, to each their own. This has nothing to do with competitiveness for me. If a dev came here and posted to the guys that she was prettier than the rest of you, wouldn't that piss you off? That was how I read his post. But maybe I just read it wrong, it's happened to everyone. I guess that makes me a caveman/dickhead. Cavedick? Dickman? I'll leave that up to you. |

My opinion is that some of the guys had an unnecessary reaction to a comment that had nothing to do with them, on a thread that was not written for them. People can have discussions and even arguments without anyone feeling like they are a victim. I absolutely agree. My interpretation of your previous post was that you felt your agency to decide opinions/actions was threatened as a result of people making fun of this guy. Which I thought was a stretch. Apologies for misunderstanding |

I think it's an interesting read on how he found us and I didn't think anything bad about it. It's actually nice that a guy posts something a little deeper on how he came here and how he feels about some things. I remember when I first found out about devs and realizing I was one and finding PD and lurking and being super scared to actually sign on...I totally get that.
I didn't think he attacked anyone but just pointed out how some guys don't communicate very well, which is very true in my experience. He didn't name anyone but just pointed this out in general, I am also suprised how some of our most verbal, smart guys can be offended by this.
I would rather have a guy show his vulnerability in an honest way instead of making one liner comments or intros which we had plenty of over the years.

zealandia , the question is, do you like cheetos? I don't know yet if you are a badass, but I do know that I am. I actually spend very little time composing my posts, here or anywhere else online. How I write is a close approximation to how I speak in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and my preferred sentence structures.
