BTW, I have asked my brother to approve all of his posts, just so he can't claim he is being "muzzled" or that he is not getting equal time to voice his opinions, no matter how pathetic they are. rofl

He looks like the therapist in the Geico commercial!

I laugh every time I see it.

What the hell!!!

He looks just like my drill sargeant at parris island!!!!(and that's why i don't use an alias,us marine types have nads). You can thank me later, for defending our country !!!

i wouldn't take it too seriously

or at face value. it's only an internet discussion board. some very rare folks have so much self esteem that they enjoy the humor in pretending that they don't.

thinking one can reliably analyse the psyche of someone from their posts is usually delusional. the only purpose that amateur board psychoanalysis of other members serves is to generate more posts.

having met a few folks in real life that post on various boards (hobby, non hobby) the only generalization i think valid is that i usually find folks more likable face to face than on a board.

the problem with drawing conclusions about folks you have not met is that the person drawing them often projects many of their own issues and much of their own negative baggage into the evaluation of the other.

2. Priapus "People with low self esteem constantly whining : " I know I'm not a good-looking guy" or
"I'm too intimidated by a beautiful provider to see her". Jesus, get me a vomit bag & gimme a break !
I remember reading a book by a famed cognitive behaviorist shrink who stated " If you don't
have self-esteem PRETEND that you do"."



  Don't believe everything you read on the boards or in a book,especially when written by a shrink.
Just call me Shorty, or Pee Wee.

It goes double for posters hiding behind another alias, so their botching and whining isn't traceable to their known persona.  They are beyond nanny state and firmly into psychotic state.  I imagine they wear ties that are perfectly camouflaged with their shirt, so your eyes are drawn to their bulging neck veins and lack of a full sack.

Excellent advice. I like you. You can come over and fuck my sister.

...aka "Gunny" is the same man in both the clip above "Full Metal Jacket," I belive) and the current Geico commercial, with some 20+ years in between. You can also catch him on the History channel on the program "Lock & Load," for any fellow firearms enthusiasts and watermelon killers.

Aren't too stupid or chicken to admit how lame they might be.

It takes balls to fess up. It doesn't take jack shit (not jack_schitt) to act like an ass-hat and pretend your king shit using an alias on a board where folks don't know who you are, even by your real handle.

I kind of doubt you really care that much about their self-esteem, except as an opportunity for self-aggrandizement.

By definition, when a woman brings you to her bed; she has deemed you worthy.

Whether she has decided you have to be built like a brick shithouse, as smart as Einstein or simply carrying an envelope with a fee doesn't change the fact that you've met her criteria.
