Did you know the Uncharted series was directed by a female?

Movie

If Uncharted isn't movie enough for you, you're fucking retarded.

No exceptions ever like I said and if you think a video game can compare to a fucking movie you have even worse issues than we all know about.

Nah don't even try. I counted like 5 people being serious in this thread of yours.

Make sure you count the thousands of other threads on other forums as well the thousands of articles they link to and the thousands of comments and the thousands of people who do the research necessary for those discussions to begin with and the thousands of people who participate in the research. And then there's the millions of other non-hxc/non-leet people who may not write, comment on, or start a thread for an article but still care.

A retard calls other as retard. Irony.

It's a fucking game. Get over yourself.

Because it's impossible to just meet new people in your social circles, picking up random people on the street and online dating are the only two options.

Laundrette is a great place yo. Highly rate it, would recommend to a friend.

You keep rolling the dice in your social circle, I'll stick to the medium that assures I won't be pressuring girls to give me their number because the very nature of our communication insists upon judging our mutual attraction.

"Pressuring"?

Yes, there is a such thing as social pressure. Some of it involves women giving their number to men even though they don't find them attractive.

...and this necessarily happens if a man asks a woman for her phone number?

What do you mean "necessarily?"
If you're asking if all women are the same then no, it doesn't happen necessarily.
But rather than rolling the dice like you and so many other men I prefer to go the logical route and approach a girl I like in a place where she is literally looking for guys.

I'm asking because you seem to have a moral objection to things that most other people would consider ordinary dating practices.

What? All she has to do is say "no."... there is no "social pressure" that you are claiming. No one(who isn't stupid) would expect a woman to give her number to someone she does not want to.

What about just checking she's cool from her paralinguistics before making a move? Before I ever kiss someone, I just lightly touch their cheek (usually just fix their hair), and if they flinch I apologise and GTFO. Stuff like that where you know they're being genuine and not acting out of pressure.

I mean, if I was a girl, I'd like to be able to have some spontaneous fun rather than only being allowed to get my kicks when/ where I specifically went to look for it. I don't think I've ever had a meaningful relationship with someone I met, specifically looking for a meaningful relationship.

No, there's plenty of it. Maybe you should look into it.

Telling me what you'd want as a woman because as a man it's what you want out of women is totes lame.

Prove it then. Since you are the one making the claim you have to prove that there is social pressure for girls to give their numbers out to males unwillingly. If you don't, you lose. Since there is "plenty of it" I'm sure you won't have a hard time proving it...

Shit taste.

It could be that the film wasn't very good, or boring, or targeted at a niche audience.

I don't really care about "winning" so...You can look into it or not you can not.

Fair point. Do you not think women appreciate (a little, measured and sensitive) spontaneity?

I think that many do and many don't.
I'd rather not take my chances if it means reinforcing the power dynamic between men and women.

Since when is gender inequality a problem?

Snark directed at what this thread has turned into in general, not you specifically. FWIW I think most of your posts in this thread have been pretty spot-on.

And it's such a laughable, blatantly disingenuous non-argument too. It doesn't address anything the other person said, it adds nothing to the conversation, and it serves only as a cheap attempt to derail whatever everyone else was talking about (which is exactly what's happened here, so you're kind of letting them win).

Do you think the people who make and repost those sorts of things ever do anything in real life to solve those "more important" issues, or even bring them up online in any context other than a self-serving attempt to derail some other conversation, like what's happening in this thread? I doubt it.

Do most moviegoers even know or care who the director is outside of a small handful of big names, though? I feel like most of the problems causing this disparity happen long before people outside the industry even know a given project exists.

Or are you just talking about attitudes within the industry? Because in that case, yeah I agree.
