Yep, that old trade-off. Making it perpetually difficult to make posters. =]

I just worry that you'll say "fuck it, she's just a girl!" initially meaning "she's just one girl and not my whole life" but your brain will randomly decide to cache it verbatim and suddenly, two months later, you'll find yourself thinking "fuck it, she's just a girl!" in a different anxiety-inducing situation and interpreting it as "girls don't matter." Which is instrumentally bad, morality and things aside.

Which is actually a decent theory of (some of) the PUA movement, for certain values of "girls don't matter."

I agree with certain values of "girls don't matter" and strongly disagree with others, and the same goes for the various aspects of the PUA movement, which is a huuuge topic and pretty irrelevant to the OP sooo I think this is my cue to tap out.

Nice talking to you! =]
