A veritable anthem for average looking guys with nothing particularly interesting about them who are pissed off they can’t date women much more conventionally attractive than they are.

Now I know that you aren’t reading the thread.
cloudiah, why so hostile?
See? This is textbook trolling. Note the claim about only responding to “substantive” things and not mockery, but the second there’s a hint of pain in the other person he’s on it like a shark on chum. It’s pretty low-grade trolling, nothing inspired or entertaining at all, just a desire to engender and then enjoy pain in other people.
Ah, a JAQoff troll. Boring.
I can’t remember the name, but the last time I had a cocktail it was vodka infused with lychee, blackberry, and lemon. It tasted wonderful.
Nny we all get it that this guy thinks he’s funny. It’s just his whole premiss is pretty stupid. Like one of the previous posters said, I never dated stupid people or even those who don’t read books, because reading is important to me. But if idiot boy is really into non shallow beautiful ( by his metric) women then he should suck it up and make himself attractive to them not whinge about it.
The kangaroo is the most interesting thing in this thread so far.
Oooh, I am a total sucker for lychee. I like the fresh nuts the best, but man are they messy! Have you ever seen the gummee version in International or Asian markets? They takes just like the fruit. I’ve never taste a fruit so perfectly captured in another form.
@Hippodameia
That sounds great.
I had a lychee drop once. Super yummy. I’m more of a mojito girl though. Its hard to get the mix right though.
Interesting drinks – there’s a place locally that has at various times offered both a kaffir lime and a Thai basil martini. Both were delicious.
No worries, I’m not in any pain.
Since troll isn’t worth attention, would people prefer videos of:
(a) cute cat with chicks
or
(b) cute cat with ducklings
Jesus christ, I was out for hours to do homework. Is that NNY guy STILL at it?
Anyways, have some Adele in jazz metal.
As far as interesting but a bit less potentially challenging, two drinks. One is a cosmo made with nigori sake, so it’s all milky looking and viscous. If you’re ever in San Francisco and want to try it, you can get it at a restaurant called Ozumo, and it’s referred to as a Bangasa. I’m also very fond of ginger-infused soju.
No worries, I’m not in any pain.
Sorry! Didn’t mean to imply you were – but your statement was mocking but insulting, which usually has more “heat” which can imply emotional involvement.
OMG, those chicks are the cutest thing! I love how multicolored they are! Little tabby chicks!
Deoridhe, And why exactly would I respond to mockery and insults?
I had a nice modified pisco sour recently, which was a regular pisco sour with lemon verbena syrup and bitters. Pretty good.
Also, Cassandra, I think you told us about Lupicia tea and I just tried their chamomile & elderflower tea which is lovely. So thank you.
Deoridhe, And why exactly would I respond to mockery and insults?
I dunno, son! Why did you when you thought you’d hurt someone? I’ve never gotten the “hurting people makes me happy” sort of trolling. When I did troll, I was a Socratic Troll; we get our superiority boner in a very different manner (and arguably serve a function in some places, though man we can make a place unwelcome!).
The problem isn’t that he wants to date supermodels. The problem is that he’s insanely hypocritical about it. ‘These women are so shallow, they only want to date rich and hot guys!’ But he only wants to date them because *they* are hot! He derides them for not wanting an ‘average’ guy, but then himself makes it clear he doesn’t want an ‘average’ girl. It’s not just offensive, it’s nonsensical in pretty much every way.
If it were *outside* of a larger context that would still be ridiculous. But it isn’t, and this view is way, way too common. The movie trope that goes ‘average guy wants hot girl, but she’s dating jock’ does this commonly. When the hot girl realises that she is just shallow for liking the jock, and goes for the average guy, this is ‘character development’ for her, and basically she is a more awesome person for wanting Average Dude versus Jock Guy. But this is internally illogical because Average Guy generally only wants her because she’s hot!
Having ‘standards’ isn’t a problem, and having incredibly narrow (or ‘high’) standards is only a problem for the person who has them. The problem is then not accepting that other people’s standards don’t include you.
I find bitters gross.
Maybe it is an acquired taste.
Glad you liked to tea, cloudiah!
Bitters vary pretty widely. All they really are are some fruit, spice, etc soaked in a high-proof alcohol. My husband and I got a full set of bitters for a wedding present and I like some and dislike others.
Though, I do think that if the bitter is something you can taste immediately without swishing around a bit, then that’s not a great drink.
I’ve been absent lately, is NNY brand new to this thread?
I’ve had a few drinks with different bitters (or I assume because different bars) and I still don’t like them. Maybe it is the high proof they are soaked in. I don’t really like to taste my booze.
NNY is new as far as I know, but I usually don’t stay too long in the comments.
Don’t engage with NNY waste of breath.
Is it that bad? Okay. 4 minutes, 37 seconds. I can do this.
…
1 minute in: How much did they pay those women to do this?
2 minutes in: Paused to flip off the screen.
3 minutes in: Ripping off Rent?! How dare you!!
3 minutes, 45 seconds: “No one will fuuuuuuuuuuuck meeee!” (That’s not even a sarcastic jab. It’s an actual line in the song!) Do I really want to continue?
Video ends: I survived! Well, it’s no worse than the usual self-pity about Western women these crybabies wallow in. Anyway, I’m off to reward myself by watching videos of puppies!
I’m not an expert on bitters but in my uni days, we used to get up early on Sundays to drink champagne cocktails with bitters of course and watch American televangelists.
Tammy baker with mascara rolling down her face goes just fine with champagne, Cointreau and bitters. 😉
melody, to be honest, I think they just opened the bitters and waved it around in the vicinity of the pisco sour, much like I do with vermouth when I make a martini. (But I do kind of like bitters, in moderation.)
Deoridhe, no need to apologize!
@NNY
Like there are trends in fashion, the are trends in body shapes. They vary quite a lot across time and cultures. For example, in the 1920s in the west an attractive woman would have small breasts and narrow hips, and skinny legs. Not everyone finds the same body shapes attractive, of course, but I think it contributes to the conventional attractiveness of a person much like fashionable clothes and hairstyles do.
The thing that bugged me the most about the video (other than the rapey comments) is his reduction of “women of LA” to just the hot women in a few places. It wasn’t like he literally thinks all women in LA were too stuck up/shallow to date him, it’s that any women outside his personal preference didn’t actually count as women.
Or did the Valley secede from LA County some time that I didn’t hear about?
