Both but the latter contributes to the former.

Tell me more about Rachel.

fie

Well she was kind of the rebound and she made it clear it was just sex. So when I saw her walking in the park with her new guy it didn't bother me too much.

Pearl Trade

Fucking awesome.

Is it just me, or does this guy reek of self glorification and over exageration? All well, this thread kicks ass. And I like his chart.

Do the dumb ass mistakes ever stop, Fie? Just get a grip on what you want in life and go for it. Sounds like you need to calm the fuck down and become a man as well. So grow a set and be less stupid.

But the graph says she only caused him 9% pain! 9% damnit!

By the way, what does 9% pain feel like, Fie?

It's like, "well damn, I wish things could have worked out. I wish she would have liked me for more than my hot man body... I need a steady relationship"

Pearl Trade

Haha, I gotcha now.

One last question (until further notice): how much pride does your mom have in you? Percentage wise, of course.

this is almost HOF worthy and deserving of a nonsense placing.

I have to be honest. I don't really believe this tale, but if it were true, you're a dumbass. Plain and simple.

Dear Fie,

I'm laughing at you.

do the colours in your charts represent anything?

are the colours in your 'hurt caused' graph representative of the colours of their stockings?

the colours in the fie pie graph are interesting.

the colourful red and what checkered piece is what fie thinks he deserves. fies mother gets the stale dull part, albeit a bigger piece.

and for the record, i cant believe these guys never wished you a happy birthday...

happy birthday dude. you deserved to at least get laid...

so from the stocking colour graph, how much respect does each of those chicks deserve.. graphically speaking of course.

Dear fie:

Please drop whatever it is you're doing now and report to the nearest emergency room. Your testicles are being repossessed by humanity before you can reproduce. One of you is two too many, and it is high time for a triumphant return to the halcion days of forced sterilzation.

Love ya much!

I'm in agreeance, I assure you. I'm the poster child of population control advocates everywhere.

Surely, from a purely scientific point of view, if the late Doctor King is being presented purely as a reference point, it would have made more sense to normalise the data against a nominal scale of respect in MKL equivalents.

Also, your chart would be easier to understand if you provided some comparators. For example, assuming that you have used the proposed MLK respect scale, clearly Doctor King scores 1, by definition, so Rachel (who you have scored 9% vs Dr King's 90%) would have a score of 9/90 = 0.1 MLKs.

Assuming these minuscule levels of respect, and the need to account for the total population of human possibility, one assumes that there is room for DISRESPECT in your scale - such that Joseph Fritzel might have a respectability of -0.5 MLKs, and that Harold Shipman -1.5 MLKs.

In morality terms, I would accord you a score of -0.1 MLKs, but in humour I would score you 0.2 MLKs (positive).

I'm sorry for lack of clarity but I was trying to put it into perspective from a businessman, i.e., just to get the point across. And we know that business folk can't understand negative numbers, aside from accountants and even then.

It was more based on my own scale of respect for people, not the mass in general. I give respect sparingly and MLK was the first to come to mind at the higher end of the scale.

I will be sure to adjust my visual aids next time, as I have a better idea of my audience.

Pearl Trade

Good color choice for MLK.

another way im looking at it is that unless you introduce another male into your little study, then the way i see it is that you have more respect for men than women.


im also surprised that amanda caused you sooooo much more pain than everybody else, yet her level of respect isnt much lower than any of the other girls.

is there a reason for that? please feel free to add more graphs if you feel the need.

The more respect I give to someone the more chance there is for me to be hurt. The more I let myself go the more that I am in their hands.

Daniel_

The point was (I think) that you have 9% respect for Angela, and 8% respect for Rachel; and yet Angela gave you 98% pain, but Rachel gave you 9% pain.

Put like this, we can see that an increase of respect as little as 1/8 (12.5% relative) leads to an almost 11 fold increase in the pain you suffered - 9 rose to 98.

Either increased respect has a massive effect on decreased pain, or increased pain has little effect on decreased respect.

Based on your full data set, there is clearly a relation between R (respect) and P (pain) such that P=f(R). If you plotted R vs P, and carried out a linear regression, you should be able to establish what level of respect is needed for a woman to be incapable of hurting you.

All you have to do then is find a woman you respect sufficiently, and you will be sorted and pain free.

Love, guaranteed by science.

thats exactly what i meant daniel. except in not so technical terms. i think youve spent too much time doing QA checks.

basically, that respect is inversely proportional to the level of pain recieved by that person.

in laymans terms - the less hurt you got from a woman, the higher the respect for her.

amanda caused you a great deal of pain, but her level of respect is pretty much the same as the other women. somethings not right

is there something youre not telling us?

And by pussy... he means actually getting it, right?

fie

The amount of respect is complicated, kind of. Amanda's respect before and after the relationship is far different. The rest are about the same. There was a time when the pure amount of honesty and openness was baffling. But then it changed. At some point I became her enemy.

Marriage... it will get you every time.

The best sex was Rachel. Hippie, wiccan, theatre nerd. Good stuff. Wished we would have clicked.

Glory's Sun

in b4 plan9's blog takeover..

You know marriage gets you every time... how exactly? Because you failed at it? Because it was never done properly to begin with?? Please expand on this gem.

Marriage is far from a bed of roses (fuck you Bon Jovi!), but it's like anything else (shutup chompster), you get what you put in.

Xerxys

Could you please stop making references to "pussy" ... it is unnerving and breaking my psyche!

I get what I put in? I definitely didn't put in gonorrhea! Found out about that the day we got married. My soul facepalmed itself into a bloody mush that day.

To be honest, it was just an ironic mocking of marriage. The whole thing and the comment.
