Some douchebag has a successfully funded kickstarter on how to seduce women. He previously gave such glorious gems of advice like

“Decide that you’re going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don’t ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances.”

Ng, my personal stance on such things really can't allow me to sign that. They have a right to do that, since it's not illegal. I guess unless you consider it's encouraging rape. Is that type of thing allowed on kickstarter?

Well, they say "no offensive material" and "nothing pornographic", so it likely falls under those clauses. You can also report it on Kickstarter if you don't want to sign the petition. Just any way of getting the Kickstarter people to take this thing down.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.

I think the thing is that I do not like feeling like I "owe" somebody something so I do not like people paying for me unless they're like my grandmother, father, etc.

It makes me sick that some people think that a healthy relationship involves dominance and abuse.

To the point where their partner knows that the relationship is toxic but is too afraid to leave.

Remember kids, no means yes and yes means no.

The lesson is, if she tells you yes get the hell out of there.

Holy shit…

Signed the petition and reported the Kickstarter… not that Kickstarter will likely do anything about it -_-

That's even worse than Ars Amatoria .

Petition signed.

(For reference, "ars amatoria" translates to "the art of love". The book was essentially "How to Get a Girlfriend". I feel genuine pity for whoever got slapped following its advice.)

God is that some really disgusting "advice."

But I can't sign the petition. If that guy wants to write his shitty advice into a book, and he manages to get it funded, then that's his right. Unless Kickstarter actually decides it's inappropriate,

Some sick garbage.

Same reason i stopped following Simple Pickup. They think the only way to someone's heart is to be abusive. Its not.

Hey. Twilight is the best love story ever.

Chicks love it when you watch them sleep at night, threaten to kill them, and rip a baby out of them with your vampire fangs.

Hey, if you ignore every little thing that's wrong with it, Twilight is at least marginally only kinda shitty.tongue

They're dudes, they're probably getting their romantic advice from shitty romantic things meant for dudes. You know, where the female is a trophy you get. Or it's the Scott Pilgrim Movie.

I get my romantic advice by taking stuff from every romantic drama I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot) and doing exactly the opposite!

Hasn't failed me, yet! I've only ever had one break-up!

Well, maybe except that one girl I went out with for a day in the 1st grade, but I don't count that.[lol]
