Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Ode to the Nice Guys

First of all anyone who professes to be a 'nice guy' like the guy who wrote that rant should take a look at himself and realize he's just a pushover. If you're a nice guy and call yourself such because you are this "yes-ma'am" puppy dog following around a girl who flirts blatantly with you and does what can only be called the c0ck-tease dance around you all night long and you take it when she claims you're 'just friends' then leaves you with nary a hug, you'd best get your behind right out of that 'friendship'. And if you don't, well then you're retarded. You either make a move and get a great response or get pushed away (either way, you're a man because at least you tried). OR you tuck your balls back into your little purse and walk away like the woman you seem to be! Friendship? Yeah right. What a joke. Who treats their friends that way? Second of all don't give me this 'ahh we'll ruin the friendship' crap. Fact is you're not attracted to him/her and you just DON'T want to go there. Tell him/her that instead of playing the 'we'll ruin the friendship' card. A few months ago a really close guy friend of mine kissed me. Bam. Out of the blue. Guess what? It didn't ruin the friendship. We're still dating. We're closer than we ever were before and things are great. So if you're tying to convince ME you realy, honestly, truly don't want to 'ruin the friendship', don't bother. I've used that excuse before, and that's all it is. An excuse.The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald

"There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted."
The nice guys get the leftovers when everyone else is done with them. After years of being a xxxx, a girl might grow out of that train of thought eh? So in other words to the nice guys, when they're old and loose you'll end up with them. Dont' be nice.

I do agree with you on the points you made, except for the pushover part.
Just cuz I wrote a few lines expressing my opinions, doesnt make it obvious about the type of person I am.
You don't know me or who I am or what I've been through to express those opinions.
Put simply, I aint no pushover.
I tell the girl straight out if something is up. I don't have time for games or being nice and waiting around to
see if something happens. Those are for pushover losers, like how you implied in your post (and I do agree
with you).
I do possess some of the qualities of a nice guy, however, and what I meant by the "story of my life"
comment was the fact that some of the points in the article (here and there) I can relate to because it has
happened to me on more than one occasion, BUT NOT ALL OF IT. And I HAVE LEARNED not to repeat
those same mistakes again.
I don't go around with the "yes maam" B.S. or the other things associated with being TOO NICE and I don't
let people PUSH ME ASIDE and step all over me.
However, to make my point a little clearer, I'm going to ask you this again...
Would u spend your time with an ass---- and be treated like crap just for the sake of saying you have a
boyfriend, when in reality he's de-valueing you for who you are.
OR
Would you rather spend your time with someone who is worthwhile, who knows how to respect, treat you like
a person, and someone who can really give u the love you seek whether it's physical, mental, or both.
Obviously, a smart person would pick the second choice rather than the first one and this is all I wanted to
make clear and imply in my original post.

.............. Obviously, a smart person would pick the second choice rather than the first one and this is all I wanted to make clear and imply in my original post.
As for me, I'd pick (and have picked) this guy: "someone who is worthwhile, who knows how to respect, treat you like a person, and someone who can really give u the love you seek whether it's physical, mental, or both."
However, that guy also has to know how to roll with the punches. Meaning that sometimes I like to make fun or be sarcastic and point things out that might make someone weaker go running away. He has to be strong enough to take that and be an a$$hole right back to me, without being a complete disrespectful prick because it's all in good fun.The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F.
