Here’s the bravely anonymous alpha blogger behind “Danger & Play ~ An online magazine for alpha males” explaining “Why You Should Cheat on Your Girlfriend.” I’ve bolded my favorite bit:
Haters will tell you to, “Man up! Break up with your girlfriend if you’re not happy.” They are missing the point. You want to have your cake, and to eat it too. Steady, reliable pussy and the occasional strange is the best of all worlds.
Cheating is a lot of fun, and it’s something I highly recommend. It’s way more exhilarating than bungee jumping, and few things feel as good as banging your girlfriend on the same day you banged some strange.
Cheating keeps your game tight. The best way to regulate your girlfriend is knowing you can bang chicks as hot or hotter than your girl. Well, when you cheat, this isn’t hypothetical. It’s reality.
Somehow I’m guessing there’s a lot more “hypothetical” than “reality” going on in this guy’s posts.
You don’t want an exclusive relationship? Fine. There’s no law saying you have to be in one. You can date casually and non-exclusively. You can have an open or polyamorous relationship. There are a lot of people out there in relationships, yet happily fucking other people outside of them. They’re just above board with it.
But that’s not what’s going on with our PUA friend here. With his talk about “regulat[ing]” girlfriends, he seems more interested in fucking over his girlfriend (assuming such a creature really exists) than he is in fucking strangers (sorry, “stranges”).
That’s not “Game.” That’s just being a dick.
But, hey, Nietzsche! He’s BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL! Or, as he puts it in a comment, “Shame and guilt are beta.”
You know, if you have to go around telling everyone what an Nietzschean ubermensch you are, you’re probably aren’t much of a Nietzschean ubermensch.
Dracula–nice video and great song. I love that they’re both totally androgynous.
Nobinayamu–GIVE ME YOUR RECIPE. That sounds amazing.
Well, that worked.
less creepy… more cute dancing!
Melancholic not-quite-dancing okay?
Thanks, Katz! Sorry if I was disruptive.
Brandon:
Do you understand why it’s disturbing that when people say “don’t have sex with women you don’t trust” what you hear is “don’t have sex”?
And I guess you don’t have to trust women to sleep with them, but I fail to see why it’s not better than … er, thinking really hard about secretly recording your encounters
Nobinayamu:
Not long ago I made merguez with couscous (the merguez was homemade; the couscous was from a box). A huge hit.
I kinda wish that Sesame Street had a lecture on the subject now. Maybe Avenue Q can make one.
If only Wonder Showzen were still with us…
Three million increasingly creepy posts in, the thing about the thread that bugs me the most is Brandon’s inability to spell “yeah.”
Didn’t nugganu already tell us this story? I see that he’s since elaborated it, but still, given how unimpressed we were last time I’m not sure why he thinks we’ll be all OMG YOU ARE SO COOL this time.
Yeah, the first time it was just, “I got back at my cheating girlfriend by getting her to give me… wait for it… a BLOW JOB! Is that kinky, or WHAT?”
Also in film, and yeah, you simply need to record the subject giving permission to be taped. A sign isn’t sufficient because they might not see it.
So Brandon, is the a conversation you’re afraid of having? Why or why not?
How hard can it be to say ‘I’d like to tape this encounter but only for personal records, because I’m nervous about FRA.’
I’m glad I’m not the only one.
“You read a story, deny it 100%. Incinerate all the women on no information from an article you read about man’s word and let God deal with the guilty. NWO/MRA jurisprudence”
FTFY.
It occurs to me that Brandon’s morality in re filming someone is the same morality of the cheater who has casual flings. After all, their partner doesn’t know, so it doesn’t hurt them, so it’s not wrong.
For cutting winter squash (i.e. the hard sort), one needs a cleaver. The really large ones (like pumpkins) want a cimiter, but a cleaver will work. A chef isn’t really stout enough, and a mistake can (more often than one thinks) lead to the knife being damaged/breaking.
Brandon:@Nobinayamu: So wrong you are. But just for shits and giggles. I offer you a challenge. Give me some tangible way to protect oneself (or anyone else) from a false rape accusation…and I won’t even give taping another thought. Not love, or trust…but something I can physically hand to my lawyer that would help prove my innocence if I was ever wrongfully accused.
Only sleep with people in public venues, where there are witnesses, or only sleep with women who ask you 1: to sleep with them, 2: to let them film it, and 3: give you a copy.
After that, the best way is to ask them to let you film it, and then film it.
Because the best defense against rape is (wait for it…) enthusiastic consent.
One wonders how someone like Brandon would feel if word got around that he’d been surreptitiously taping his encounters. Say Ashley starts to, “emasculate him” and he, “kicks her to the curb” and she has, without telling him, found his stash of, “defense material”, and gets word out in his community.
So all the places he hangs out the women have been told that he (and I’m sure, since he’s doing this as “defense” that his face is prominent, so that the police could see it was him) is making secret tapes.
I’ll bet the “replacements” aren’t so eager then.
But of course, Brandon is flawless with his InfoSec, the same way he’s upfront with the women he sleeps with, and if what he wants isn’t what she wants, no problem; just move on to the next one because he’s got natural, “game” and the women just flock to his bed when he’s on the make.
Three million increasingly creepy posts in, the thing about the thread that bugs me the most is Brandon’s inability to spell “yeah.”
Me three!
I think that everytime he posts “Ya…” I see an apathetic dude with poor personal hygiene who slouches a lot and chews his gum with his mouth open (and his food).
*blech*
I don’t know, Pecunium. I mean, we’ve all been saying the same thing over and over again. Somehow, when processed through the muddled sieve that is Brandon’s mind, this:
“False rape accusations are very rare. But if you feel that you must protect yourself and want to have some sort of recording of part, or the entirety, of your sexual and/or casual sexual encounters please do so with the consent of your partner. Fully informed consent, not just to sex but to the recording. Open and honest. Not only is this the only way to ensure that such a recording would in fact be admissible as evidence in just about any jurisdiction but you’d avoid being the kind of scumbag who violates a partner and breaks the law. Also, you know, if you got caught doing that, you’d be charged with a crime, likely convicted, very possibly serve time, and end up on the sex offender registry. Which all sort of belies the point of trying to avoid a false rape accusation because it could ruin your life.”
translates into this:
“Brandon, you shouldn’t have any sex outside of a committed relationship at all! Ever! Who do you think you are wanting to get laid and have sex with women who aren’t your super-duper dedicated girlfriend? Brandon, you need to be more conventional and that means that you shouldn’t enjoy a sex life! And if a woman presses false rape charges against you, well that’s just what you deserve for wanting to have sex with women in the first place. So there!”
It’s really weird.
Damn you people and your recipes. They all sound so good, but I’ve stopped eating meat.
What kind of meat-free recipe would you like? I make tons of vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian dishes. I’m an omnivore but I don’t think it’s necessary to eat meat at every meal or even most.
Nobinayamu: If we just remember that, “It’s all about Brandon” then it all makes sense.
If we are saying there is nothing one can do to make it impossible for some woman to accuse him, then we are saying we think it ought to be allowed to falsely accuse him.
If it can be allowed, then the only way to be completely safe (because it’s All About Brandon) is to not fuck.
So the only way we said was proof against a false accusation (because she might, “change her mind”) is to not fuck.
Never mind that abstinence won’t save you from a truly false accusation.
But the idea that enthusiastic consent, from start to finish (which has so far, for going on 30 years, been sufficient to keep anyone from accusing me of rape) will do the trick….
The thing I don’t understand, in all this furor of “false rape” fear is what they mean? Why would someone want to make a false accusation of rape? What I think they mean by, “false” is, “I didn’t put a gun to her head, so it can’t have been rape, but the bitch says it was.”
It’s not that they are afraid of false rape, but that what they think is “just good old-fashioned sex” is actually rape.
Lauralot: Filling for ravioli/tortolinni/gyoza
Duxelles: Take a large quantity of onions, chop them small. Put them in a pan with some oil/butter and cook them soft, caramelise them if it suits you.
While these are cooking, take some mushrooms (of a good volume, as much as the raw onions is not too much, stem them, and cut them fine, both stems and caps. Add them to the onions. Cook them over a low fire until all is something of a fine paste.
Set aside.
This is a good thing to have in general.
Some winter squash (kabocha/butternut/acorn/delicata), cut it into pieces and bake it.
When baked, peel and mix with some ginger, and some lemon/white wine vinegar. Blend with a roughly equal quantity of duxelles.
Use to fill ravioli/tortellini/gyoza.
cynickal: They are related words.
cimeter knives
Mine is old, probably from between 1920-1940. It’s carbon steel, and does a swell job. I don’t have a cleaver, so yes, it’s what I use on squash.
