LA weekly article?

Does anyone read LA weekly? The only time I do is when im waiting at the car wash. I read a very interesting article titled "HOT STICKY AND BOTHERED" women on the prowl. I guess im not the only guy who doesnt make the first move. Im suprised I found this article so interesting.

article

I stopped at page 2 because the first page is so unbelieveable/not plausible.

+ 1

Send her to my house. She can have her choice of me, my wife, or both of us.

I said it was interesting, not good

I just can't fucking imagine why men aren't aggressive socially or romantically with her. If she walked up to me and started talking to me the same way she writes (subject matter included), I'd sure as hell melt away as quickly and quietly as possible, too, no matter how hot she was. Especially if she kept telling me how attractive people found her.

So, now that we women have torn up the article, I'm curious... what did you find interesting about it? What's your opinion on the matter? Do you relate to what she's talking about?

I'm not being snarky, here, I swear.. I think there's an interesting conversation that could take place about this topic, but I don't think discussing the article itself is going to make that conversation happen.

If I ever write anything as self-indulgent and wordy as that piece, someone please shoot me.

I think somewhere in the drivel is a core idea:
"Why can't a sexually available and overtly aggressive female find someone to copulate with"

Something like that. If any of it is true, it's an interesting question.

It seems to me that the kind of men she would be likely to meet and be interested in would also be the kind of men who can smell self-involvement and desperation from a mile away and want no part of it.

Just a guess.

Seems like she'd be a good match for a guy like Ian/Ray from High Fidelity. Do those guys actually still exist? Not sure I've met one since the 90s... but I'm sure there at least a few in San Francisco or Sedona or something. The kind of guy who refers to sex as "celebrating and worshiping her inner goddess," etc, etc.

Goddamn, I'm in a catty mood tonight.

I hate to make the comparison but she writes like a really bad Bret Easton Ellis. I couldn't get past the first page. The first sentence alone made me laugh.

Wow, I've often thought about trying to pass myself off as a doctor who can "procure important information" through only my fingertips... I guess I need to move to LA.

Check out this bit from the last page...

24-hour Infinity is the name of my new band.

Scratch on.

Well, I wonder if it's possible to look at the article (for lack of a better word) from various gender perspectives a bit. Self involved desperation is the defining characteristic of many males, I suppose. Females, mostly not so much. I have had desperate females approach a few times (even though I have been married since forever) and it is very off-putting. Oddly this does not mate well (npi) with the old quote "A man will swim a river of snot to screw a snaggle-toothed hag on the other bank"
Based on that thinking this desperate woman should be able to walk up to any man, simply say: "Stick it in" and get what she wants. It appears as though men are more discerning than usually given credit for.

Jeez, glad I never went through that phase. What claptrap.

fshhh reeowr!

this chick is the female version of the do girls really like assholes thread.

This sounds like a sex in the city episode fragment I skipped by. I suppose I can relate to the guys who dont make the first move. But I think its just shyness, not all what she has made it out to be. Man this thread has just exploded!

This has been my personal experience, but I have wondered if the generalization still held.

I understand that the popular view is that the asymmetry is purely cultural, but are we really, truly sure? The romance part certainly has cultural roots as the notions of romantic love are a relatively recent development and mostly western. The commitment bit? maybe not so much.

Any ladies for casual medicinal sex?

...

Wow I read the first two sentences than asked myself "What the hell am I doing with my life."
Seriously, reading something so vapidly inane has made me question my own existence and what I want to do because I don't want to be so...whatever she is.
