Why are people constantly flamed for talking about things like the girls they hook up with or the parties they go to and so on in T&O? It's not like they aren't things we wouldn't talk about casually with our friends in person so why does anything said that associates you with actually having a life off the internet make you an e-loser? Go get laid or something...

Because the only reason to post it here, to a bunch of people you don't know, is just to try and look cool on the internet.

Because of the common misconception that everyone on the internet is a nerd.  That, and too often people like Andy abuse any casual coversation about things like that.

Probably because if you were actually out there on a regular basis, you'd talk about this kind of stuff with the friends and girls you claim to party with.

Maybe they do talk about these things with their friends. Is there now a limit to how many people you are allowed to tell a certain story?

I don't know about you, but I get annoyed when I know people who, all the talk about is how much they are getting laid or how drunk they were at a party.

It is not the actual mentioning of it here that annoys me so much, it is the children (andy, etc.,) who feel the need to mention it at every turn, believing it makes them seem cool or impressive.

 

It bugs me, and other non-lameass people crazy in real life and on the interwebs.

  how about when someone says they have a manual transmission and point out why manual transmissions are better than autos, and you throw the internet badass at them?

things like that you mean?

personally i could careless what they post.when someone goes out of their way to try and be a bad ass or a hard ass on the internet, like, oh if that person had a bomb i'd stop them, yeah i cant stand that, but the other stuff is just boys being boys, no different then hanging out with highschool jocks. actually college jocks too ive found. which is why i ignore those posts, and those people.

Like I said, most young people drive a stick because it makes them feel like a badass. That is not limited to the internet.

Yea, it's really bad in real life. Especially those people who have never been drunk or had sex and they talk about that kind of stuff 24/7. They don't realize that when they talk about it CONSTANTLY it becomes obvious they have never had either.
