prolly going to get banned for this ...

[KneghtRyder]

this thread closed http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1187266#post1187266 bc it talks about "CONFIDENCE is more important than LOOKS ".. then the moderator links it to a thread about Looks are more important than you think! http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24670 which is a CLOSED thread also..


so basically saying " NO DISCUSSION" even if it is the case, one could have selected a better thread than that one to link to bc I thought were not discussing looks bc its widely agreed amoung most of us, that it doesn't matter much.....then why link to a thread that says it is

seems were going a little overboard w/ the 'looks' threads banning

Honestly the mods are just lazy, so they put a blanket ban on any topic that could require some real moderation. I think they should just make a separate category for debates/arguments on any controversial issues.

honestly, discussing whether you have no chance at all @ getting laid because you are ugly or b!tching about how pretty boys have it easier, but average looking guys have more game overall, or w/e else ad-nausem. All of that is a big waste of time. For the handful of threads that are closed, there are hundreds floating around from the past few years. The discussion does not add anything to people's mindsets but just creates self-limiting beliefs. And after a couple pages they ALWAYS turn into flamefest between insecure posters and insecure posters who fake confidence.

Just accept that it is an off topic discussion and move on.

No matter that the message is different, the topic has an easy tangent to the topic of looks. Unfortunately threads like that always end the same predictable way. You make a point, someone rebuts, you counter, someone else flames, another person retaliates, mod locks thread. Can't hate on the mods for not postponing the inevitable.

You won't be banned for commenting on an issue that bothers you, in fact we encourage you to do so. As Microphone Fiend and Francisco stated it, all the thread does is attract people who feel their looks severely handicap them, who then go on about how pretty boys aren't real man and soon enough a troll or two shows up asserting looks is the only thing that matters, which is devastating to some newbies. Limiting beliefs start to form the make little to no sense.

We try our best to give it a chance, but soon enough people start getting hostile. This is not that way of a Don Juan. There's no point in the thread; it has been created countless times and never solves an issue in question. The archive post is all you will need to get the basic ideas it offers:

Looks helps and one should take care of their looks but they will don't destroy your game unless you believe so, end of story.

Amen to that. The only reason the mods close th looks threads so readily is because we beat the subject to death like ice hunters on a baby seal. It's ben brought up so many times and since it's just a matter of opinion with no decerning anwser, there's no real reason to discuss it and the mods just close the threads.

Like hell we are.

So we should let there be 15 new "don't masturbate!", 28 "Do looks really matter?", and countless "What cologne is the best? threads a day?

Politics led to people stalking and fighting not only in that thread, but any other thread on the site when one person posted in it.

This isn't laziness, it's us doing our job. This is a site about how to pick up females, not about how the economy is, who is a better president, or what country it better.

:yes: Couldn't be more clearly stated than that.

Ironic that this was said in the Anything Else forum.

:crackup: Hey buddy,
"honestly" The mods do more for this forum then you ever will. The fact that you can even see this thread without it being buried in flame threads and Spam is a wonder. Mods are constantly keeping the site properly operational. Maybe I'll just forward all Spam to you so you can see just how "lazy" mods are.

The first thread was started by someone who has been repeatedly banned from this site. There's lots of other open threads here about the importance of looks, and we really don't need the banned user in question coming back to defend himself or his opinion.
