It's what males in general do, not just here on the escapist. We are males, and thus have certain hormones which make us think and act in certain ways. The exact same mechanism that makes us discuss boobies is also responsible for making us carry home all the heavy shopping, unblock the toilet, and put all the shelves up.Larenxis said:Okay, the real question I have here is: Why do male Escapists like talking about what they like in a girl?
Ya think I should do it? It might shut up all these 'What do you like in ___?' threads...Evilbunny said:I'd join. You'd get a lot of members if you started it up now too, since valentine's day is coming up and people hate being alone on that day.SecretTacoNinja said:We should start a lonely hearts club here with all these romance threads flying about...pearl_dragon said:Hear hear!SecretTacoNinja said:Those threads have made me quite a few friends, since I'm always pining for some male company... It's not always about lonely little nerd boys, it's lonely little nerd girls too.![]()

This is probably what spawns 75% of the threads and 90% of the forums on the entire intertube: people seeking validation for their personal preferences. If you look hard enough, you'll eventually find groups for everything. Like eating ice cubes? There's a forum for it. And for everything else.Dechef said:...but it's probably because some people feel they have weird dislikes and likes, and want confirmation that they're not the only one?
I think it should be:johnman said:Probly due to the fact that we will never know who each other and therefore it doesnt matter who people think of you. And as mentioned before Nerds+internet=Porn
Wait did i add that right?
Actually, that's more of an unsupported hypothesis. I don't know why Nuke does it, but seeing as he's pretty popular around here and he seems like a nice guy, I don't think it applies to him. Me, I hopped on the bandwagon for the sake of giggles.

Just letting the part of me that enjoys bewildering/annoying people play for a bit. And though I don't mind that you don't mind, you could be a little more polite and, you know, ask us to stop next time? I would've been happy to oblige. All calling names will do is start a war.Richard Groovy Pants said:People who keep linking these damned cat pictures are clearly lacking attention in real life.

Now, you didn't say anything [http://cache.gawker.com/assets/resources/2008/03/puppy.png] about other things that we could link to.
Just like lynch mobs, you see?
And I wasn't being impolite, it was just an observation. I could've taken other routes. I was brisk because seriously, if you ask people to stop doing something they just keep doing it. Or they'll feel like doing it. It's better to cut it by the root.
