The shine wears off after a few years and it starts falling apart. In the end it has very little trade in value.

You probably just didn't like starting to lift weights - the part where you transitioned from not doing so to making it a consistent habit.<br /><br />You're not really asking the noob kid to ask one girl out. Neither are you asking him to ask girls out for the rest of his life. No, you're asking him to ask girls out until he reaches the threshold where he sees his first success. THEN he's now capable of making his own informed decision on whether or not he wants to do it for the rest of his life.<br /><br />My point is that it's a lot more effective, and enjoyable to get people to WANT to do that certain thing. Rather than have it "never his choice to begin with".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-63663249041744922492013-12-23T18:22:19.668-08:002013-12-23T18:22:19.668-08:00Cappy, you're like the dad I never had.Cappy, you're like the dad I never had.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-1584960610397514702013-12-23T17:23:03.394-08:002013-12-23T17:23:03.394-08:00A woman I know told me her fingers were trembling ...A woman I know told me her fingers were trembling the first time she called me.

I'm afraid of the feminist beliefs they are going to spew. I'm afraid how they will drop constant reminders of how many penises have been inside them, and how I should be grateful for the same. I'm afraid of their tank-troglodon friends who call in the lynch shaming mafia to hen peck me into silence, or alternatively throw me in a cage or indentured servitude. I'm afraid of the destruction of my social reputation for daring to utter one grievance they don't believe in.<br /><br />Therefore, because of all those justifiable fears, I will continue to pursue no dates, straight bangs, and think of women as a subhuman species.

However with NPV you have a relatively known expense/value ratio and then you can decide if the risk/expense is worth it: pay $x per month for Y years and you will own the house (well except for the rent you have to pay the government in the form of property taxes). With approaching girls you have a known expense but an unknown value. You may succeed, but you might end up empty handed. It is like saying that at the end of your mortgage you will probably own the house, but then again, you may not. That is the hurdle most people have to get over.
