The whole idea is that the Japanese take (REAL, physical)* social ineptitude to otherwise inconceivable levels.

* Edited to acknowledge the existence of utterly arbitrary but nonetheless convoluted "social mores" in Japan.

Jesus, I'm sick of hearing women come out with this bullshit. They convince themselves that it's actually true, but if a guy comes in who's cocky and arrogant and dominates the room, their pussies get wetter than the ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Totally true

Being Smart, Being Buff, Knowing how to cater to your woman, all this crap can help you in a you in a long term relationship or marriage, but it is not a deciding factor.

Humans have free will ( we can do whatever the fuck we want, We do not run on instinct)

Secondly being smarter then someone, or being buff, or whatever helps in a relationship about as much as taking fat burners if you do not work out if your lacking in the "provide for the woman" department.

Women need to be taken care of simple as that. Its how they have been raised and its how the world is. If you can take care of a woman to her satisfactory then she will be yours no mater how skinny, dumb, fat etc... you think you may be.

this whole thread is one giant exercise in stating the obvious for the benefit of the socially inept

LOL, so true. But there's a big difference between that and the nerdy passive aggressive type of cockiness and arrogance.

When women claim to not like traits like that, they're thinking of like how Richard Dawkins acts. An insufferable little shit. Unfortunately for those who want to debunk the article, there's a pretty large sect on Neogaf that thinks he acts really cool.

Want to know what's worse IMO than the totally quiet nerd, or the passive aggressive narcissist nerd? The obnoxious, loud, thinks-he's-REALLY-funny nerd that can't stop talking. This guy annoys the entire lunchroom every single day. Still, somehow, I bet this type of nerd gets more play than the other two among the females in their Smash Brothers playgroup. He is easily able to assimilate into other groups of people with horrible senses of humor. He is the fucking alpha nerd and he fucking knows it.

Because presenting arguments backed up by evidence and reason in a calm but assertive manner automatically makes someone "insufferable." Uh-huh.

This article is fantastic.

This is just brain candy for unintelligent losers sitting around in their mother's basement.

LOL, by your posts in this thread you sound like a really cool guy to hang out with that's getting tons of play with the ladies. Carry on.

because all the socially-inept white dudes are getting tons of pussy there just because they're so smart, i'm sure.

Intelligence is a good indicator for fitness, so I would say that to get laid you also need to be smart--to a certain degree of course.

Most of the people confused by this article (because they believe they are smart and are getting laid, as well) probably only possess average to slightly above average intelligence. Geniuses, on the other hand, do tend to be more socially inept because as the article says they spend less time pursuing relationships than people of normal intelligence.
