Why would you want that kind of attention? If you strive to have some random podcast host say they hate you, what exactly does that accomplish? If that's what you need to feel good about yourself that's pretty...sad.

Todd, i read your post and it sounded like a snarky jusdgemental post. I answered to you, and after a back and forth i got what you meant, although i still think that your tone was harsh.

Keith and Chemda do a show, so you cannot expect them to address every comment like it's a political conference.

I think everyone (myself included, of course) should simply watch their words when they post something, and anyways always expect that to be dissected.

I have no problem with dissection. Even something like "your tone was harsh" is a fair statement. But there's a difference between dissection and cherry-picking a line or two out of my comment.

I get that these are Keith's forums and that he gets to do what he wants with messages from them. And I get that they do a show intended to entertain. In this case, however, I think Keith's righteous anger and Chemda's disgust are misplaced because Keith didn't address my entire comment, and Chemda probably doesn't even know that I said anything further.

I wasn't speaking for myself, just trying to explain why King of Assholes was still posting after both Keith and his girlfriend offered him the same advice.

My "you"s weren't directed toward you.

This episode made me think about how some of the forum's members would expect to be treated if they showed up at say, an April 15th event. I haven't been to NYC for Keith's birthday, and I haven't really been paying attention to the forums for very long, but some people seem to be purposefully inflammatory and assholish (no pun), to a point where I wouldn't be surprised if some one said "Hi, I'm ________ from the forums" and they got punched in the face. Has this happened before, or something similar?

Since I have no money I have only used Plentyoffish and OKCupid.

I haven't gotten much response from either (obviously) and I can admit to telling a few lies.

I am 5'7, after a while I figured, why the hell not, see if it will do something, So I said that I was 5'10 (average height) and I got 2 more responses then usual for a set of send outs.

Since I have no job I just said that I was a student/Freelance writer (wich I techniclly am, I wirte...for free) making 0-20,000, wich again, technically true. and hopefully understandable seeing as I was only messaging college girls.

Honestly though, for both sites I just set in the paramaters on the filters to my minimum and sent a message to every girl that came up. Nothing panned out

See they say women care about sex and relationships just as much as men, but cmon, there is a reason these sites are 75% men and men send way more messages then women.

A Gal-friend of mine said "oh well I meet my BF online, maybe you could try that. Try plentyoffish, it works super well I got like 30 respones in one day lol!!

Keith is right, seriously women, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE LIKE THAT!

Did it ever occur to you to take the time to make a potentially volatile statement terse and concise so as to avoid miscommunication?

People are dick bags in the forums regularly and expect to be treated normally in real life. It's truly bizarre. Sajizzle is a prime example and even people I consider friends like Newsy have their moments in chat where they say shit with no intention of facing the consequences when they actually meet this person.
