back in my time. We just made shit up and what ever interested her that's what we were interested in too. Sort of throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.
Our method took a lot more originality but the mechanics are the same. Just lie your ass off.
If you get rejected no loss if you get a date then you have to retract all the BS and hope she is still interested.

Also, the girl was played as too dumb not to pick up on what the guy was doing. It insulted both sexes, as well as the audiences' intelligence.

Looking at her would be far more captivating than squinting at a miniature computer screen. This guy is clearly not all that much into women.

However, if you want to "broad brush" women, I will present this:

All women really want to be treated like men, when it comes to equal education, job opportunities and wages. Is that broad enough for you?

At Thu Mar 7, 2013, 09:13 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Apparently, nothing has changed since I was that girl's age.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1017&pid=103835

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Sweeping & prejudiced generalization about all single men being "pretty much pigs". Poster is basing this judgment off of a "humor" video--not even a real life example of men behaving badly.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 7, 2013, 09:16 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Sexism is a 2 way street, contrary to what some think here. One of my sons is single. Lose the attitude, Cleita.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The truth hurts... lol (and I've been a single guy more than a few times)
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: the feminist party line lol
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: I dont appreciate bigotry against any group.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
