Stop overthinking this shit and stop taking it so personally. Just go watch some SportsCenter and bitch about Chris Collinsworth with the rest of us. Grab a Yeungling on the way in and we'll drink shit beer together.

one of my oddities is that i dislike beer. it hurts my social skills a lot because i can't just chug beers with buddies

the problem is that there really isn't much of a better word than weird or different, but society has taught us that even if something is a statistical norm, you can't call it normal, so i have to explain what it all means. there is nothing wrong or bad about not following sports, you just have a smaller range of potential people to socialize with when making casual chit chat.

Yeah, I understood what you meant. Even as someone who's "weird" in that sense, I agree with you.

OP if you're feeling threatened by a pack of alphas, you just need to ingratiate yourself with them by talking about sports and perhaps you will be allowed to join their pack and raise your social status.

He's. Not. Your. Friend.

I'm kind of a douche in this regard as well I guess. I keep him around cause its interesting to see how low someone can go.

I want to be present at the time when his ego is finally crushed and he can talk to me without having to think he has something to prove.

men that can't discuss sports are weird. not on a personal level, just a statistical anomaly. they miss out on the easiest and most popular form of male socialization

Thanks a lot.

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

what does it mean about the EPL if Chelsea loses today? Arsenal losing to Bayern and Man City losing to Barca isn't unexpected or a bad loss, but United losing to Olympiacos(still not unexpected because of Moyes/the season they're having), but Chelsea losing to Galatasaray would just be scary

DID YOU SEE THAT LUDICROUS DISPLAY LAST NIGHT

Weird is an ugly word but it's not like he's wrong. I'm left out of a lot of conversations at work between both coworkers and customers because I don't know jack shit about sports.

you could always stand beside them awkwardly saying nothing

:lol

Just watch this: You're Probably Not Really a Nice Guy

This is great, thanks for this.

Chelsea is the worst English team a Turkish team could face up to. Chelsea just does well against Turkish sides even when we're flying high ourselves.

If you were to ask a GS fan which team from the EPL they'd like to play the least: Arsenal, United, City, Liverpool or Chelsea. I'm willing to bet most of them would say Chelsea and obviously that doesn't do too well for the spirit of the fans which proceeds to impact the confidence in the atmosphere which impacts the team and manager. Damn trickle downs.

edit:

I believe I do well socially. I love talking, have confidence in myself and respect for others. I meet new people and make new friends on a frequent basis and people generally exhibit a positive attitude towards me. I like to think I give off this vibe that I care, cause I actually do. Maybe thats what sets me apart from most people, I fucking love this life, the world and every organism in it. Call me crazy, but if there were a heaven, we're in it.

Hey GAF

Thought I'd just write out one of my observations I've made in my short time as a young-adult. Its probably nothing new and you guys probably have encountered it too.

I've noticed that there are two different types of men out there, men who talk to females on an equal level, and men who can only talk to females as if they're an object meant to be fucked.

Now, I'm not complaining. These guys who only seem to flirt with women don't really have success and after a while they build themselves up a shitty reputation too.

The only issue I have with these guys who talk to females in that way, is that they have no idea how to talk to other men either! They can't hold a simple conversation even if it meant there was a million dollar prize at the end! They can do one thing though, compare their dick size. Now I don't mean that literally, just that the only way they seem to get their kicks is by making themselves feel good by picking on a weakness you may have.

What are your thoughts on this GAF? Has anyone else come across this while out in the wild? Its not affecting my life in anyway, in fact, I'm glad for it. I get to have more friends from both genders while they only get a quick fuck (if that) and no real mates. Its just sad that someone can go through life without having any intimate bonds with males and females.

The fact that you only see men as 2 extremes means that you have some growing up to do. I don't mean to be so blunt, but just like women, men exist on a wide spectrum. What I think you have an issue with from a second read is men who pretend to be Alpha by stepping on the necks of others.

I honestly never encountered 'nice guys' or 'assholes' in real life
