Modern Guys and Honour
« on: May 26, 2011, 11:00:21 pm »

I have a beef with modern guys. They've got no sense of honour. If somebody, such as I, challenges you to a duel to see who gets to court the girl, you either duel me (even though the duel is with Pokemon cards because I can't use a sword for my life and for some bizarre reason it's illegal) or you relinquish your suit of her. You don't get to not duel and still court her. That's a horribly cowardly thing to do, and much worse is the fact that nobody seems to care.

Cool story bro, but there's one problem:

Women aren't property to be dueled over.

Actually, there's far more than one problem with your post, but that is the one I want to pounce on before Vector has opportunity.

I never said they were, but you can still duel over the right to court. It's far more civilised than saying "get away from my girl you man-bitch".

It's not civilised, it's plain stupid.

If you have to have a duel over it, at what point has the woman's feelings on the matter been considered? Is she already your girlfriend, and if so, can't you already tell him to screw off? If she's not already your girlfriend, what gives you the right to call her your girl?

I can't wait to see Vector's response to this thread.

In any case, your whole "courting" thing is very, very outdated. People don't duel over starting relationships.

Nowadays it's considered more civilized to let both court, and let the woman choose. But still, why I'm feeling I'm just answering a troll flame bait?

Look, which is the lesser of two evils? Treating women specially, or hitting on them with impunity and being a man-slut, which is what most people do?

 There is some honor to upholding your values over the pressures of others. This is an honorable thing yes?

 And holding a value of nonviolence and nonaggression would be something to be defended, yes?

 So by not fighting you are showing honor towards your values, which I'm sure the girl would respect and want to be with more than a raging asshole.

You do realise that these aren't your only available attitudes, right? You could treat women like, oh, I don't know...normal people?

False dichotomy. There's no reason to do either; You're simply making a conscious choice between the two of them without giving yourself a chance at other options. There's no reason to choose the lesser of two evils because there are more than two evils, and there are a good number of goods to be chosen from.

Guys. Honor? Too dramatic.

You're upset that pokemon did not earn you exclusive dating rights.

Just because you challenge someone to a pokemon duel does not mean that they actually have to give a shit, to say nothing of the girl in question.
