Aaron, nobody here is bashing you. Some of the advice has been very blunt, but that's because a lot of the posters here believe that coddling you and pussyfooting around the issue around isn't going to help your situation any. The fact that this thread has gotten so many responses should show...

The Punisher called. He wants his belt buckle back. ;)

Sorry to hear that, especially since it happened to somebody so young. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Perhaps we still engage in it because we don't agree with you and have seen proof otherwise. I've seen more than one guy in situations similar to Aaron's who managed to turn their lives around after making changes to their life starting with their attitude. People have been giving suggestions...

Every time somebody quotes Monty Python, take a drink. Every time somebody quotes the Princess Bride, take a drink. Every time there is a "Do Christians play D&D?" thread in General RPG discussion, take a drink. Every time Jack Chick is mentioned in those threads, take two drinks. Every time...

Whenever somebody in the "Fantasy and Sci-Fi movies, books & TV" forum raves over something made by Joss Whedon or George R.R. Martin, take a drink. Every time somebody in the "Fantasy and Sci-Fi movies, books & TV" forum complains about Fox cancelling Firefly, take a drink.

Aaron, have you ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you've convinced yourself that you have nothing to offer women and that you're always going to be alone, then any attempts you make to get a girl are doomed to fail before they ever begin. To change your situation, you need to start...

I like campaigns where death is possible too, but GRRM's books are starting to resemble a campaign where the DM routinely throws near-impossible encounters at the party and kills off PCs just how "grim & gritty" and "dangerous" his campaign is. Those types of campaigns (the ones where you're...

Heh! Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer goes to New York. Homer: "So do you have anything to drink in there?" Street Vendor: "Only Mountain Dew and Crab Juice." Homer: "Blech! Ewwww! That's disgusting! ...I'll have a Crab Juice." ;)

Kahuna Burger, some of our thoughts on this book are so similar that it's scary. When Robb married the random chick because his honor demanded it after he slept with her, I thought "Wow, this is perhaps the only time in the entire trilogy that a sex scene contributed the story, and it happened...

I prefer Dwight D. Eisenhower's definition... "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." ;)

(Insert cliche snarky comment about George Lucas and/or the prequel trilogy here)

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that. :lol:

Just noticed this: Gamespot Preview for NWN2

Sir, I salute your Photoshop-fu. :cool:

Nicely put, KB. That pretty much sums up why the Red Wedding scene made me groan. With a single hard-to-believe plot twist, GRRM killed off two major characters and an entire army. I'm half-expecting a future book in the series to depict Dani finally arriving on the shores of Westoros with her...

Kill things and take their stuff. Kill things and take their stuff.

Good advice, just try to be careful that the bulk of your jokes aren't self-depreciating. If your attempts at humor always come across as subtle self-pity, it can actually turn off women instead of endearing you to them.

As usual, Rel hits the nail right on the head. In your attempts to find a mate, you will be rejected by a fair share of women. Some will already have boyfriends or husbands, while others simply won't be interested. Yes, rejection sucks, but the brief period of disappointment you'll feel from...

Heh! Good (actually, maybe it's not-so-good) to see that sort of thing happens elsewhere in the country as well. I've lived in Utah my whole life, and out here we frequently get Californians who arrive with the attitude that everybody in my state is a religious zealot or stupid hick. :) I...
