You make it sound like men have such high standards Cheesy    At the start of a relationship people are never going to be 100% real, surely thats a given and eventually people get to know each other.   I blame most guys for not being that perceptive or too wrapped in themselves, its more a case of them believing what they want to

Wise words, Sir.


More often than not, men just go by looks. Sorry if I sound shallow.



You don't sound shallow, you're just being honest Smiley their point was they agree they go by looks at first but when they get bored with her bland personality they leave her for an ugly girl with a big personality. I've never seen that happen lol.

As for startups, BTCChina was huge this past year.
Bitstamp's input looks more important now that I think of it.


Bitstamp's website was down all day yesterday, couldn't get any money out, doesn't give me a good feeling.

Good question but for me is more important who is around me, my family, spouse etc, than the fact where I at a given time.
If I can be with my spouse in some special place, this is double benefit and blessing but without her it will be boring, really Smiley

That's sweet. Are you a newly wed? After 20+ years of marriage my wife and I take separate vacations because when we take them together we don't have anyone to talk to.

Oh no, that's really sad, you guys need to reconnect! I'm not an expert but maybe you should take a holiday together where you both do something new together and that will probably help keep things interesting and fresh? Just a thought? Smiley

I can't take her because she gets pissed off when my girlfriend hogs the blankets and there's never enough counter space in hotel bathrooms for two women.

Hey cheating is not acceptable, you either divorce or stay married and faithful, make a choice.

Sounds to me like QuestionAuthority is describing an open marriage. How is that cheating?

Well that depends on if I have/will get money as well. I mean I could wish (or save money and travel to) let's say Dubai.
What do I do when I arrive there, broke?  Cheesy

You could get a job at a building site, they love foreign workers, make sure you give your employers your passport straight away, they'll keep it safe for you Wink

I'd keep mine safe myself. I don't like the idea of my employer or anyone else for that matter having control over me.


I was being ironic, Dubai is famous for its rogue employers and slavery of foreigners, they keep their passports and never let them leave, like, ever again, it's horrible.

Most women are smarter then they'll say, where as most guys who boast alot can be complete fools.   I think its not dumbing down but submissiveness is still a thing in 21st century very much, any guy with any brains knows it never works out that way whether a women pretends to let you have your way or not.  Its better to always get on with someone 50/50 not start a relationship dominating the conversation etc


Yep, but a lot of guys out there with self esteem issues often don't feel like they're good enough for the girl they're pursuing and they just walk away without any explanation. Sometimes dumbing down works, the guys feel more relaxed, less intimidated, especially at the beginning.



Just be yourself! What happens when the guy discovers that you have been putting on a show?

It's not lying or a show, just a little tweaking Smiley PLUS it's not like I'm pretending to be better than I am like a lot of people do.

Any news?
Tell us about your girl

Fuck me this is too complicated to explain in words and even if I could no one would believe me as it is something out of ordinary!

But I will try this days to post an update, but first I will need to know what the fuck is happening in my life!

Tell us and we'll give you advice Smiley

You need to check Ebay's terms and conditions and be very careful, lost £1800 on ebay (buying and it never arrived) and they washed their hands completely. Never got a refund, compensation, nothing.
I would be very careful if I were you. If you're selling don't forget paypal lets buyers reverse their payments, even after they receive their item from you in perfect condition. So many ways to get scammed, their whole system is flawed, full of loopholes, I got caught on that one twice. I say avoid Ebay, run.

That's strange. I had a dispute with the seller who never sent the item I bought and I got refund from ebay.

The seller has an amazing shop on eBay, hundreds of stars, very expensive items, totally legit looking. His excuse was that his ebay shop got "hacked" on a regular basis, so people who bought items got sent alternative payment details by the hackers "many times", and that was it, he never replied to emails ever again, and Ebay are impossible to deal with, I sent lots of emails, they replied once saying they would look into it and then never replied to any msgs ever again, after a few months I just gave up.

I know, but, Unfortunately guys always seem to prefer dumber girls, geek chics never seem to get as much attention, like, ever. I'm somewhere in the middle which is lucky for me, I can dumb down if necessary and look like a total bimbo if need be, haha. I think the whole geeky look suits guys way better than girls and I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon.

How the hell is this thread still alive. Seriously, 44 pages of this stuff?

Geeky girls are amazing; I don't know where you got that stigma. The people that only go for bimbos are happy until the physical attraction starts fading away. With someone that's intelligent and geeky, I'm the happiest. Why would I want someone I can't hold a conversation with? I definitely prefer geeky girls, both in the short and long run. Geek chics DEFINITELY get attention.

I think the thread is a nice welcome to new girls so they can grasp what the vibe is like for girls here Smiley
About geeky girls, well. Non geeky boys don't generally like geeky girls, they go for the hot babe look. So that only leaves geeky guys to be interested in geeky girls, and you would think that's perfectly fine. However, judging by this forum and the huge amount of geeky guys starting hot babe NSFW threads, I get a feeling geeky guys also want hot babes. So, apparently, everyone wants hot babes. Am I wrong?

I think it's safe to assume that everyone appreciates beauty for what it is, but when it comes down to having a relationship with someone I believe personality and intelligence plays a much bigger role. Looks only gets you so far and physical beauty fades over time, yet someone with whom you have a strong connection is very likely to become even more beautiful in your eyes as the years go by. Stupid people irritate me no matter how good looking they are. So, while looks may get you in the door per say, you'll soon find your ass on the street if that's all you have to contribute, as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds good on paper but harder to do in real life. We don't need to go to the extremes -of gorgeous but stupid VS ugly but smart. Say, if you met a gorgeous babe like those in the NsFW threads and you guys started a relationship, you realised she wasn't the smartest girl in the world but she's not stupid either, just average..would you be thinking "she's so hot and sexy but hey I value intelligence so I need to leave her for someone smarter right now!"
I don't think so.
Those NSFW threads prove guys are always infatuated with beauty (even super smart guys) and of course ideally you want beauty AND brains, but I'm thinking guys are happier to compromise a lot more on brains than beauty.

The NSFW threads only prove that guys like to fap to good looking girls not ugly ones. Nothing more.

Real life is full of compromises. The more realistic you are the happier you'll be. I have a wife now, but before we met there was a certain level of attractiveness, intelligence and personality necessary for someone to have before I would pursue a romantic relationship with them. If you rated too low in any of these categories you were simply undesirable to me. Attractiveness doesn't factor in whatsoever in a regular (non romantic) relationship, but intelligence and personality still do. I can't speak for anyone else, but personality is definitely most important when it comes to having any kind of relationship with me. Attractiveness is least important.

I honestly don't get how some men only desire trophy wives or the women who cater to them by "playing the dumb bimbo". It's really quite sad. Anyways, that's the whole reason I jumped in on this conversation. I just wanted to say it's not true that,

I'm also curious as to how you determine when to,

dumb down if necessary and look like a total bimbo if need be
It seems as though "dumbed-down" is your default and you only try to smarten up if and when the need arises. Unfortunately, this tactic is used by many women, not only you. I have my own theory as to why this is, but I'm not going to get into that.

Seems like you're a smart confident guy with high standars who didn't get intimidated by pretty/intelligent girls, hence you married one Smiley Sadly a lot of guys out there do get intimidated. Rating to low is not the main problem, rating too high is. That's why we gotta dumb down sometimes. What is your theory?

Yep all my miners are off now. Everything is in PoS with MMXIV and BALLS. I make more staking thoae two on the 5w dedicated staker than I was with several tens of terahashes and a huge electricity bill every month
You are an evidence of mining centralization, less of POW inefficiency... Little guys don't mine anymore...

I turned mine off last month as well, except for one, just need to feel like I haven't given up on btc altogether.

Also have you noticed that farm heroes, candy crush, and candy crush soda are all made by the same developers?

You're right, farm heroes is a bit boring though, pet rescue as well.
358  Other / Off-topic / Re: Candy crush soda is a girly game? on: January 04, 2015, 03:52:46 PM
No, it's not a girly game. It's a piece of crap designed to steal your money (as previously posted). (BTW I do play it tho Tongue)

I think it's a piece of shit designed to trick you into paying real money to progress in a game that has plenty of far better alternatives that don't charge you micro-payments at all.

p.s. Also, Bejeweled does what it does just as well and has no micro-transactions

bejeweled? I've never heard of that one, what is it about?
Game by Popcap, candy crush knocked it off and got famous and no one ever played bejewled. It's sad, because bejewled isn't a piece of crap designed to steal your money.

Thanks for answering, I really appreciate it, I'll check it out, had never heard of it before yesterday -maybe cause candy crush has a budget to advertise and knock off everyone else.

Why are you so lazy?  Google it.

I was waiting for you to post the "let me google that for you" link Vod.

That's your problem.  You wait for everyone else to do the simplest things for you.  You portray women as being idiots, which is insulting to the other women on the board who have intelligence.

Harsh! You have no sense of humour Vod, like, none, it's pretty sad actually.


You have no sense of humor either fabiola!  You weren't being funny - you were acting stupid and waiting for someone to give you a very simple answer.

At least I pull my own weight in society - I don't pretend "ha ha" that all girls are stupid and need to be coddled.   Roll Eyes

I asked Lethn what the game he recommended was about, he answered me. What's the big deal? This was a conversation between Lethn and me, why do you even jump in out of nowhere and start being rude. Lethn can talk to whoever he wants, you're not the forum police, chill. Smiley

Intelligence can definitely be an attractive quality, I dont think thats a myth. It makes less sense that some guys would prefer women who 'know their place'/dont speak or have nothing interesting to say and share nothing in common, isnt this setting up a really boring relationship.   Sadly its surprising but its more common then that, intelligent women is very sexy Cheesy

There is such a thing as geek chic :p
