  1. Nobody should believe a word of what Howard Nutlick says.
  2. I have my doubts about how much this has ever led to real relationships. I'm sure it's happened, but I figure most of the time a romantic interest develops over time after people are introduced through school, work, church, or some other group of familiar people. That's a far scarier kind of rejection, but your odds of at least being let down politely (or being given a chance at a first date) are much higher. Apps are their own thing, and not what I would consider the traditional "cold approach."
  3. Rejection is common, and its supposed to be pretty common. If their batting averages are about zero, then most of the time these average-ish guys are doing at least one thing wrong and could benefit from a frank evaluation of their approach
  4. This is basically the business "opportunity" that Slutcon is capitalizing on.
  5. Maybe I'm just cynical, because these companies clearly know that American customers fucking hate being forced to deal with south asian call centers, so this is just their way of trying to cover that up.
  6. The New Jersey Giants
  7. The Santa Clara 49ers, The Gary Bears
  8. This one would hurt, a lot.
  9. When I was in Iowa everyone seemed to be very loyal to the Chiefs instead of the Vikings, Bears, or Packers. Not sure why that was the case
  10. My new favorite thing is when I get a customer service call back from "Donald," a guy with a thick Bangladeshi accent
  11. As they should. But there's a deeper level of fear that they have. If you're able to nut up and face your fear, Slutcon is not for you (yet - eventually they will expand the business model to court normies who just want no strings attached sex)
  12. It's deeper than that. They're pathologically afraid of women. Like a small child who never played catch because they're afraid of the ball.
  13. Este. Nothing more perfectly encapsulates this naive fetishization of those jobs than Mike Rowe, the QVC host who realized that he could "look the part" of a blue collar guy and get paid a lot of dark money to push an anti-intellectual agenda.
  14. It sort of makes sense that people who are afraid of women and rejection would be willing to pay big money for exposure therapy. There are some incomplete thoughts raised in the story that are worth further exploration. The problem is that there's no way to shake the overwhelming urge to point and laugh at these guys, nor any way to avoid the impression you got which is that we're in a failing society. As a result, none of those incomplete thoughts are explored. If we're being totally honest though, there have always been men who would have paid for this, if it had been possible to organize in their day. So I'm not sure I agree that this is some sort of novel social ill.
  15. If we're being totally accurate, Millennials are not even the first generation to feel like they have it worse than the preceding generations. You don't think there were Gen X and Boomers who entered a "politically correct" workforce and resented the fact they couldn't LARP as Don Draper, smoking cigars, drinking whisky, and fucking secretaries all day?
  16. Depends how you define "power," because they almost certainly do have the power to fuck up over and over again without being incarcerated for much of their adult lives (or being summarily executed during a traffic stop)
