Bad News:
- I’m pretty much done with tech events with too many dudes pretending to be Pick-up Artists. Tech Events with 80% dudes was cool in 2005 before the book, The Game, came out. But now that all these chumps have a license to be douche bags, I think it’s kinda silly that all these guys are AMOG’ing guys in their own industry. Douchebags being negative towards their industry peers just for the attention of a random 20 year old.
If you act like this guy at a tech event I will kick your ass.
“Picking up” women is not some video game, or like Dungeons and Dragons. There are some real life consequences to being a player. One of them is me kicking your ass if you interrupt me with the intent of tooling me while I’m talking to someone.
WARNING: If you pull any of that game or player bullshit, when I am talking to someone; if you tool me, I will drop you to the floor and frog walk you out of the tech event we are at. You have been warned!
Good News:
- Ben Huh of I Can Has Cheezburger put on a pretty cool discussion on the types of jokes out there. I’m gonna try to find the slides for that.
- Numa Numa is my favorite viral video. I still laugh when I watch it.
One reply on “What I Learned at ROFLCon: Numa Numa and Too Many Wannabe PUAs”
We girls think guys who do stuff like in The Game are douchebags too 🙂 Especially guys who use these techniques to make up for the fact that they have zero interesting personality traits of their own. False confidence != sexy.
