Malakas, inadequate behavior

There is an alternative explanation: It's easy to feel smart among those dumber than oneself. It's easy to feel compassionate and magnanimous among those more brutish than oneself.
I think most people employ this principle in order to make themselves feel better - and we do need to feel good about ourselves.

The best thing to do in this situation is render praise and coddle him.

There, there Malakas. We love you, your so smart and everyone else is dumb.

I have nothing to add to this, I just wanted to quote it again because some jokes are worth telling twice.

There, there Johnny-boy you are smarter.

Look how smartly you injected yourself;f in here without even saying anything of relevance.
Did you think we forgot about you?
there, there....

 

Dude, and it was funny as hell.

I laughed and laughed.


:roflmao:

 

Please do....

 

I agree, to a point. Then again, I also think we may choose to better ourselves among those we feel can raise the bar for us. If that's not happening for us perhaps we need to go and limbo on another beach.

 

Where might I find a good online idiots guide to this, please? I'd like to read more. Haven't read Vidal's book but will do. Read Kalki, Messiah, The Judgement of Paris and Myra Breckinridge a while back. He's something of a genius, with many interesting things to say.

Unlike yourself. :xctd:

 

EnmZ - A retarded mind with nothing else on his mind but trying to sooth his aching ego by knocking out all those that threaten those he can most relate to....the average.

 

I've about said everything I have top say, up to this point.

I've posted many threads under the moniker of Wanderer and, his later reincarnation Satyr.
Whether it's interesting or not to you, is none of my concern.

I'm pretty average, yes. No, I'd go further than that and admit to being nothing special. Yeah I've got a stupid sense of self importance, but I think that's true of most people. And Mal, I'm not a man. Or at least the vagina between my legs seems to indicate to the contrary.

 

Malaka just means stupid. But your not stupid at all. I've always felt sorry for you and i always wanted to say that i am sorry if i caused you any anguish in the past. Thats all.

 

Actually, it means 'wanker'.

 

Gah, I'm kidding! Don't be so sensitive! That's your problem. You're too sensitive.

I know, I've read them all, you moron.

They're interesting, ok? It is always a joy to read your nonsense.

 

Absolutely.

At some point, even the stupid woman who keeps falling for brutish men because she thinks that only in comparison to them she can consider herself a good and compassionate person - even such a stupid woman can at some point realize that there are other -and better- ways to develop and practice good qualities.

 

Don't project your hopes upon a natural phenomenon.

Have you considered all the possibilities for explaining why women are attracted to thew bad boy?

 

Heh, well, I'm not sure I agree with your analogy but your basic principal is spot on.

 

He can stay...you have to go.

 

He's a she.

I like Orleander, she's really nice.

Smart too, and funny.

 

I've considered many, but I certainly don't claim to have considered all; nor do I claim that all women who fall for brutish men do so for the same reason.

The case of the woman falling for brutish men I've pointed out earlier was an example of elevating oneself by comparison with those lowlier than oneself; there are more examples of such elevation - like keeping friends that are dumber/poorer/not as cool as oneself. The example with the woman falling for brtues, however, is one of the more intense cases of such elevation.
