I think I understand but the only thing I can work out is this: it's just Kovacs, dressing it up again. The simple facts are that he insulted someone else then claimed to not have to apologise because he didn't respect them. A claim that invalidates his very first comment and each and every successive post after that. You are a very, loathsome creature Kovacs, because you lap up praise like a porn set fluffer and deny each and every person you see as below you as unworthy of the very basic levels of respect. What an awful vessel for a soul to inhabit. The very thought makes me feel genuinely uneasy that you could be so dismissive and offensive when despite your persona must still be affected by matters of the heart.
I'm a bit miffed to be honest because I've been working on a piece about this very same subject and Veeps beat me too it. [Mine was called "I give him an 8"].
I am probably one of those people who could only ever be described as average looking. I know I'm not a minger, but I also know that I'm not likely to turn anyone's head in the street because of my looks. I've been doing this whole internet dating mularky for a while now and it's made me really think about this whole thing.
How do you know where to place yourself on the scale? Do other people see you the same way as you see yourself? Are some of these people who send you messages completely dillusional [50 year old, fat, bald, glasses like the bottom of a beer glass and bad teeth] or hopeful or really think that they are far higher up the scale than they are? If you send a message to someone who is clearly above you on the scale, will they be thinking that about you!?
I think that most of the people that I have gone out with have been around equal to how I view myself. With the exception of my husband. But I got to know him and was friends with him for years before we even started dating and it really was his personality that I fell for. [Unfortunately, that didn't last].
I basically think that the whole thing comes down to self-confidence, which may sound totally obvious, but you get a lot of people, guys mostly I think, who although they aren't the best looking people have a certain arrogance and self-confidence that lifts them into a higher league. A bit like an actor making you believe that they are something they're not.
I've somehow completely lost track of what I set out to say here, but I hope you can get the gist.
Oh, and Mikee and Uber, I'm well happy for you both! Nice one!

First Kovacs spazzes out - and now Paul Danan has been bundled out of Celebrity Love Island by strapping 'cleb-wranglers' (Danan's parting shot: "You f***ing bitch! You f***ing g*y Irish c***!").

Will you stop clogging up my thread with mentions of pleb-feed cleb-swill TV abortions.

Has this argument fizzled out now? Has NWoD slain Kovacs? Shame. It was fun. I couldn't quite think of a sufficiently pithy, acerbic and double-edged contribution, sadly. And I was scared. Sorry about that.

Jeez, sorry if it's "spazzing out" if you decide not to contribute further to an online argument. There was never much of a bond between me and Uber Trick/NWOD, so I don't think this thread adds or changes anything, and I don't think it's worth me saying anything more here: nothing I fancied adding would have been pleasant.

I think unattractive people can be hott when they don't say anything. Some of them blow it when they have to say they're not saying anything. I find it ruins the mystique, the allure.
I like the ones who say they're not going to say anything, but if they did it would be devastating because they can kill you with their brain. Like, I won't say anything now cus it'll make you cry. And then I have imagine it for myself. Then I cry because I was so horrible. Yeah, thats the best. They's the keepers.

like the shower scene in Psycho - you never see the knife go in, but you think you have. And when they shoot the little boy in the head in Funny Games [sideshow bob] uuuuhhhuurrrrhhu[/sideshow bob]

You know when you're all sweaty after a cracking all night bunk-up and you turn to your lady fiend and say 'that were fuckin fantastical wunnit?' in a Welsh accent. And she says. And you say 'wunnit? And she kisses you and goes to sleep. And you say 'Oh'.
Thats the kinda silence you want in a relationship.

I hadn't realised you were ceasing your contribution - the 'spazzing out' was referring to the way that contribution developed during the course of the thread.
You and Uber are actually very alike in that you expect ordinary joes like me to have picked up every little nuance of your posts, then flare up when you think you've been 'skim read'. In fact there are a lot of parallels between the ways the 'player-characters' of the forum spark off each other... the desire for combat and detailed engagement is there, but those same egos are easily bruised and eager to escalate confrontation at exactly the moment they could demonstrate greater maturity by taking it down a notch or two.

Who are the player-characters? Let's do a breakdown of exactly who's who on the boards and what purpose they serve. You know, for the newbies.

I do have other interests and thoughts other than those related to horror films, hiphop, binge drinking, and computer games. I'm pigeon holing myself here.
For instance, ladies, talking about 'how do you know how attractive you are', I've had more than one girl compliment both my eyes and, weirdly, my back. But, are 'good eyes' just something you pick out when you are sporting a face like a mexican car crash?
Also, due to a dangerously unstable ego, I am prone to assuming that if a girl looks at me, then she fancies me. I'm living in an 'attractiveness bubble' - over inflated with no real market value. Doesn't take much to burst it.
re: Uber. I'm surprised at this news, because they've both been well bitching about each other for a year now. I must admit, I haven't read any of the cat-related posts that have occured over the last week or so, but I'm sure that there is room for everything. Why not have a dedicated thread about cats, that way any innocent web surfers could make more informed decisions about whether they want to encounter any playful anthropomorphic hijinks.

I might skim-read such a contribution. It depends who writes it really.

This is not weird, backs are amazingly sexy on blokes, it's the way they have these broad shoulders with all these muscles defined and that tapers down to a narrow waist. There is just so much power in the back. Backs are good.

Uber is kind of the Rebecca Loos in this situation - making NWoD the Callum Beast; if Kovacs is the Paul Danan that probably makes me Michael Greco and Benway and London Lee Sharpe and Jayne Middlemist respectively.
Vogon, I identify you as very much the Lady Isbella Hervey of the piece.

I had to google to find out who she is, but have discovered that she was Zoo magazine online's Hot Babe of the Day on 17 May, and has a "great bikini bod".
Check out Zoo's banter boards ben, there's lots of people there who watch reality TV shows. I reckon you could make some friends.

I am mentally moving down the attractiveness scale notch by notch as a friend of mine always takes loads of really nice black & white photos at parties/picnics etc and has even done specific ‘shoots’ with a few people. But he never takes ANY of me. Clearly I ming too much to use film on.

Attractive people don't always make the best photographic subjects you know, perhaps he's picking them for being weird looking. In fact your friend's oeuvre could be pretty boring if it just consists of glossy pretty people making like a Next catalogue with a picnic hamper.
Is this making you feel any better?
See.... how fantastic is this portrait, and I'm betting you don't look like him.

Eh. It was more for the coldness and insoluble air of perplexity that I drew the comparison.
Anyway, my incessant references to CLI were intended as a lighthearted way of trying to defuse a tense situation.
As ever, my shot at concilliation services displayed all the subtlety and finesse of Jonathan King riding a broomstick in a "Kiss me quick, Suck me slowly" hat.

What OJ seems to be saying Abby is that you may not be that minging but that you do look a bit boring, featureless and plain. No distinction. I can understand if this makes you feel better.

Abby - if it makes you feel better I'd probably stick it to you, if we were both single, and I was bored, or drunk. Definitely if I was drunk.

No, I was trying to take the piss out of Thorn, but not doing it well enough. And, what with the wrasslin' mood everybody is in today, I don't want my pisstakes to be anything less than dead-on, ya dig?
That post, yeah, I should do it. But I am SO FAR BEHIND ON MY WORK it is not funny. I am not used to working unsupervised, and being trusted and respected. So how do I respond? By posting shite on TMO. Excellent. So mature.

How can you take the piss of a post that's already self-mocking? What the hell's wrong with you? Was it about my impotence? I thought you promised never to bring that up on here.
