Downvoted you for downvoting me for explaining why I downvoted you;> Are you saying that copypasted love letters is an adequate substitute for actual love? That sounds pretty cynical to me. But I still don't see any inappropriate cynicism coming from kodos

Upvoted you for being meta.

No, it's not that the letters are an actual substitute for love, it's more the cynical attitude, "yeah, anyone will love you if you have enough money."

Wow.... just.... wow

First of all... it was a joke

Second of all, I don't see the idea of money being able to buy love as being any more or less cynical than randomly generated spam love letters being able to buy love...

Third of all... Blueberry, weren't you one of the people on the wrong side of the PUA debate? And you don't see any irony in now acting all holier than thou about cynical attitudes toward mating?

Fourth of all... it was a joke!!!! I mean, seriously people.

Regardless, upvoting both of you back up to 0, cause I don't think people should be penalized for explaining their downvotes when asked to do so.

ETA: Wow, this is getting ridiculous. I think it's now safe to say that Human Mating Habits Are The Mind Killer, even more so than politics.

ETA2: LOL@downvoting people in retaliation for explaining why they're upvoting you ;)

I thought this whole thread was a joke! And I'm sorry for any offense I caused.

Just for clarification: I'm not sure what you mean about the "wrong side" of the debate, but I support PUA and see it as a positive and productive method for helping men and women develop social skills, understand each other, and have better relationships. I see PUA as the opposite of cynical.
