Something I've been meaning to talk about for awhile.

Anger at the Stupid, a new blog I just found, names the problem pretty well.

Basically the sloppy, disheveled, misogynist douchebag nerd, who will whine and whine and whine about how the girls he's attracted to are shallow, materialistic whores because they want nothing to do with him because he hasn't got money or isn't good looking, or whatever...

HOWEVER, when someone points out that there are girls who do find him attractive and share his hobbies, he will scornfully dismiss them as "Fat and Ugly" or otherwise "not his type." And if confronted on this will then expound on how you can't help who you're attracted to.

So, when hot girls aren't attracted to him they're shallow, materialistic whores who don't know what they're missing.

But when he isn't attracted to girls who are available and possibly interested in him, it's because "you can't help who you're attracted to."

Yeah, fuck you, Captain Double Standard.

Seriously.

And every time I talk about a "hot" nerd guy (say, Vin Diesel) in the GGR colulmns I catch a ration of shit for making real geek guys feel bad, because I'm all about the pretty. But really, if you've met the Husband and I, you know that he doesn't look anything like Vin Diesel, and to me he is the most beautiful man in the world, because he's smart, funny and just all around awesome. Would I like to fuck Vin Diesel? Yes. Duh. Would I trade him for the Husband? Not in a million years.


I'll probably post more on this later, but I wanted to get this out before I exploded.

But what if you, and your husband, and Vin Diesel could sit down for a one shot 3 way D&D scenario. Best of both worlds, am I right? :)

Does it have to be D&D? Maybe some GURPS or Burning Wheel? Or would that be kinky?

[jeckcrow.livejournal.com]

It could be Kult for all I care. I'm not opposed to a little kink. I can't speak for Vin Diesel though. :)

I'm totally picturing you, hubby, and Vin in a 3-way that has nothing to do with dice, but might involve a bit of roll playing.

and now I'm picturing it.



yep.
