Holy shit. Awkward guy says stuff to chick, she doesn't object to it, it's called "harassment."

If you're a guy these days, you can't win.

In the future, anything that makes a woman uncomfortable for even half a second will be a crime.

Wait.....it already is.

It has to be said that this guy not only has zero game, but zero social skill. His messages are beyond cringe worthy. I bet that girl just played along to see how big of a hole he could dig for himself.

his game in one line:
"let me know if you need a penis for anything in the near future"

Post: #5

The worst part about this is that he issues a public apology. I never want to have a job that could be on the line if I send out drunken texts.

Post: #6

What a pussy. He can't just say sorry (which is pathetic in its own right), he has to make himself out to be the victim of something else. "MY BROTHER DIED AND I JUST HAD A FIFTH OF WILD TURKEY, THAT BE WHY I'M SO THIRSTY... you understand what losing a family member is like, amirite?"

If I was his dead brother I'd want to sock him in the face for sullying my name with his terrible game.

I don't know; that was borderline stupid.

Even a Betamax doesn't talk like that, especially on Facebook.

To be clear, it's not the girl who was involved in the conversation who made it public, but rather her friend, Laralyn McWilliams.

Here's a picture of the brachiosaurus :

Of course. Fat women are just fucking mean and wrong.

Post: #10

I feel when she interjected the info about her divorce. She was basically saying she was open. He just fucked it up.

Let's face it. Sexual harassment has always been bad game. Part of good of good game is knowing when it is appropriate to be inappropriate.

And it's pretty simple for a man to win: have good game.

Post: #12

We tweeted this cow. She's going to shame a man publicly, then we are shaming her for being a fat bitch that won't mind her own business.

Let's analyze how he could have done this the right way..

He should have just pushed for a meet up, and not sexualized over Facebook without having baited it out of her first.

If you're a journalist and she has something to show he should have established a level of authority right away.

"I MIGHT be interesting in doing a piece on your next game, so let's meet at XX on XX and we'll see if there's material for something here. If there's good weather and light we might take a couple of photos. No problem if you can't pose, I'll direct you".

He didn't harass her though? It was awkward, but harassment? Really? Fatty should have minded her own business.

Post: #16

Not so sure about using game in this situation on Facebook if that was a public feed. Just keep it light and a little more ambiguous.

In person is when you can apply Game.

He thought it'd be an easy lay cause its a fat chick. So he opens her with "pretty lady" and she responds positively (a chick saying "hey you!" always means "Hey I wanna fuck you!" and "divorce" = available). She thinks he's more than just some dude trying to bang. Because if she had REALLY thought it was SH she would have stopped him after the pretty lady comment with some office speak "I do not think your commenting on my appearance is professional, please do not let it happen again yada yada."

So then the convo gets over the top crazy sexual by his lead. Its cause he's just trying to bang a desperate fatty quickly, and she senses his lack of giving a fuck, so she cries sexual harassment to get back at him.

This isn't just a game lesson about how to approach, though that too, but its also a lesson about reaching for the lowest hanging fruit. Sometimes the "easiest" path isn't always the best, and it may require more effort and finesse than you initially suspect it will.

Post: #18

When was the last time one of these threads was about a thin attractive woman crying out for attention?

this one, the fat feminist who sent violent messages to herself, that fat bitch who flipped out after being approached on video...

Solution?

Don't even talk to fat chicks. They're damaged, they're toxic. Don't even acknowledge their existence.

Post: #19

Finally read the messages And they are terrible. Cringeworthy.

Somebody ought to clue this guy into the jumbotron test.

Post: #20

This guy is a grade A clown. He didn't even own it, he just tried to apologize. Game this bad should be called sexual harassment, shit, that made ME feel uncomfortable reading it.

Post: #21

So you guys are saying that this is not sexual harassment? It's about as blatant as it can be....

Can't wait for your reaction when these she-booms start saying men should be charged for "unwanted" contact via OkCupid...

Two different things completely. I can't even believe that someone on this site would resort to such a feminist level of apples and oranges comparison like this. Obvious saying men should be charged for "unwanted" contact on OKCupid is ridiculous, because that is the sole purpose of the site: to get unsolicited requests from men. The point of Facebook is not to have to fend off pathetic sexual approaches from losers who can't muster up the courage to even ask a woman like this in person which way the bathroom is.

Completely different? Drinking the Kool-Aid?

1. OKCupid may be a dating site but Facebook is a social site as well. This "the point of Facebook is not to have to fend off pathetic sexual approaches" is straight out of the libtard playbook. I suppose it is "sexual harrassment" if a girl is hit on at the supermarket too.

2. She never said anything that would be indicative of her being uncomfortable. She continues the conversation.

Which brings up the ACTUAL definition of sexual harassment:

Quote:harassment (typically of a woman) in a workplace, or other professional or social situation, involving the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks.

He may be a pathetic loser but you are the white knight shitface for equating his bad pickup attempt as equivalent to him texting/emailing/calling her after she said no.

The title of this thread is way off. I read the article and there was no mention of sexual harassment in there. Reporter in the gaming industry made sexual comments to a girl in the industry, then he apologized. And kotaku for some reason thinks it's newsworthy. That's it.
