PSA: not a pick up line, gentlemen!

I think it's a cute way of asking where you went to school.

Because I'm fun, I would have responded with the name of my law school--or maybe something like, "on the mean streets of Bethesda."

Lighten up, people.

And for you men still single, what's your problem?! This is your competition!

Where did you learn how to write?

BAHAHAHAHA

That's why our society needs to push the "happily ever after" fairytale narrative so hard.

If women on their wedding days knew that they were basically being sold into domestic servitude with an entitled lardass who wants a BJ every day but doesnt think he should have to ever do laundry, they would run like hell!!!

I like memes, internet snark, and porn, but you've gotta balance internet life with real life and know the difference.

They also grew up in the era of the "pick up artist".

One of my favorite things to do is call out dudes when they try to "neg" me. The look of shame and shock on their faces... completely priceless.

Every woman should do it. It never gets old.

What does "neg" mean?

I was six months pregnant and sitting on a bench in Rehoboth with my cousin (we're 30 and were waiting for our husbands to buy us ice cream), when two sixteen year olds came and sat by me and one of them started hitting on me. It's really the circumstance more than the line itself, all he said was "So, what are you guys doing later?"

At the supermarket I was chatting with a guy by the corn and my mother called me and he started asking me

"SO WAS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND? DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND WAS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND?"

What does "neg" mean?

From Urban Dictionary:
If you are in a bar and you approach a girl, she basically knows you want to sleep with her. You have to somehow convey that you didn't come for sex. So you are talkative about something even more interesting than her. The only thing from you that can make a 10 notice you is if you show her she doesn't matter to you in the slightest... that is a NEG.
A Neg is a negative remark wrapped in a back-handed compliment.
To Neg a girl you can try:
"You are nearly as tall as me. I like tall girls (LIFT). Are those heels 4 or 5 inches (DROP)?"
OR
YOU: "I don't think we should get to know each other."
HER: "Why?"
YOU: "I think you are just too much of a NICE GIRL for me."
HER: (whatever, it doesn't matter because she will try for you now)

^These dumb men actually think that shit works.

So a guy may something like (for example) "your face is so beautiful even though your nose is a bit big", or whatever.

I love turning to them and being like "Was that a neg?"

And maybe following it up by asking which pick-up artist books they've read. I've read a couple, so I know all the tricks.

A "neg" is a gross pickup-artist way to try and get a girl's attention, by insulting her with a negative comment thinly veiled as a compliment.

It's so gross.

What is the point of a neg, according to a pua? It shows control, or something?

Married woman here and I totally agree. People talk all the time about how women change, but never about how men change and become entitled, spoiled whiners who contribute nil except a paycheck (that I don't even need because I work and make good money). If not for the fact that we have a child together, I would have given my lazy, rotten, fat and getting fatter DH the heave ho by now. No woman who is successful and financially independent should ever get married.

Thank you PP. I am a young woman (25) and I don't plan on ever getting married.

I am hustling hard now to make enough money so that I can comfortably raise a kid myself and pay for all the luxuries I had growing up.

Lucky for women, we have the reproductive power. We don't need to hire surrogates or anything, so having a kid on your own is way easier!

They try and pick up insecure girls, to flatter what's left of their lazy ego.

It knocks a woman down a few pegs so she will think that the guy might be on her level (when she is clearly out of his league)

Or so goes the "logic"
