Shrug. No rush from my side of the room. I have found developing Windows application and web apps on the MVC .Net stack to be quite enjoyable.

People are still surprised that people write software that runs on Windows, really?

One hour a day (on average) hardly seems like a LARGE portion of one's life. Surely, it adds up, but lets say you average being awake 15 hours a day, that's 1/15th of one's life. Not large in my opinion, and certainly no where close to being a majority.

An aside...personally, I spend...8 minutes (or less ) in a car each day.

What KeyFrame said. Even if the video were intended to be viewed by children, her body language and behaviour would still be a bit over the top, and as it is,the intended audience is people donating to Kickstarter. So yeah, I think it reinforces gender stereotypes. Which, I mean, I'm unsure if it's a good or a bad thing, but, well, shrug.

Too bad we don't have an example of this to look at. I, regretfully, agree with the OP. It would probably seem kind of weird, and then male presenter would seem more than a bit childish.

Hey, just trying to stay up to par with the stupid shit just spat out in the parent post <3 Get stupid, stay stupid, friend.

you, sir, are a fucking idiot.

"All social interactions at some level of depth eventually involve pursuasion of a sort. The question is when does that become unethical?"

Truly A question we all must answer for ourselves.

Sorry, what could mean communicating effectively? Describing a 'pick up artist' as simply being a student of rhetoric seems a bit disingenuous.

An interesting reply. But doesn't seem to address anything about the question I posed and more an attempt to throw a positive spin on PUA.

I mean, what you suggest here is that people are manipulative and sad before they become involved in the PUA community, and that the joining of said community is an attempt to free them of these negative traits?

I get confused by this logic because as far as I can tell the PUA community endorses manipulative and dishonest behavior, so what you're suggesting is that these lonely, manipulative, people, can transcend their manipulative behavior through more manipulative behavior.

You answered your own question tho, didn't you? No, it makes you someone who comes from a different culture, and I think it would be safe to assume that the person to whom you're responding would agree.

If you're a pickup artist doesn't this imply a certain degree of dishonesty and manipulation? Not sure these are things a nice person engages in.
