    i apologise especially to any and all girls who were offended by my comment i was merly trying to be part of the community and make someone somewhere smile it had no merit whatsoever and was nothing more then a joke based on the comment before my post and was in no way shape or form meant to offend anyone for any reason what so ever. i understand how hard it is for gamer girls to attend these functions for fear of exactly what i said and i commend you for getting over that fear to enjoy something you like to do. and yes now that i see how you all react to that first hand i see how bad it is to make such comments. i will refrain from any and all comments based on that in the future, or anything that might offend anyone in general.

    and o be offical "I am sorry for my offensive comment I made."

    Sorry to make you the sacrificial lamb, but these comments keep coming up with more frequency lately, not less.

    Even though i might not make it to PAX this year,I dug out the only picture of me that is on the internets.

    Disregard the horribly GIMPed background, this is from my early image manipulation days.

    I wasn't going to do this as chances are high my hair will change again or something before PAX and wearing glasses completely changes the way I look (I will be wearing glasses most of PAX), but here is a picture of me after a long night on the radio.

    Joke or not, the point needs to be made about WHY we frown upon "PAX is a dating service". Take note of the picture above. The picture was meant to be a simple, "here I am at PAX" picture and instead turned into a "creepy, I'm blatantly checking out your ass picture." It's things like this that leave a sour taste with women that go to PAX.

    So we, as a community, strive to keep this behavior to a minimum for the enjoyment of everyone involved. So please, if anyone has anything to do with "finding a gamer chick" on your things to do at PAX list, just drop that idea out of your mind.

    Hi there, in the guy's defense it looks like he is angry and in motion not stopped and appreciating anything.
    Oh here is a picture of me appreciating something, notice the lack of angry face.

    Also in defense to dude who may or may not be ass checking, anyone's ass is at risk for lookily loos anytime one leaves the house. There is no such place as a safe zone for people who check out asses etc.

    Now if dude walked up and grabbed said ass, then that would be a tad bit of an issue.

    Obligatory post I make every year stating amount of women I've met at PAX: 5

    (attracted said women by being cheery and out going and sociable)


    Notice: People of opposite genders with similar interests are attracted to each other.

    Also Notice: Single people will look for suitable mates around them.

    Notice this Notice: Due to the inherent introverted nature of most gamers/nerds, such an event as PAX would be an excellent opportunity to practice and develop social skills twoard these ends.

    Yes some people might come off creepy, but if you think that women are so fragile as to be unable to handle the attentions of single males then I'm not sure you live in the same world as I do.

    I'd like to respectfully disagree...
    All those points are very debtable and vary with each person.
    For points 2 and 3; personally, I like being single so I doubt I'll be scouting for a 'mate'. I'm going to pax to play my beloved video games, not look for a bf or develope my social skills. I may be anti-social, but not socially akward.

    Every person you meet, you subconsciously judge by a breeding criteria. Hence: mate and not boyfriend/girlfriend. You might not be looking but if a certain number of traits get checked off bam vasopressin/oxytocin kick in and it's not your conscious mind's choice whether you like them or not.
    And as such: Your constantly being judged and evaluated yourself. That's the way the species continues. No matter where you go people will assess you as a potential mate.

    Is it reasonable to expect people to not be assholes about it?
    Yes.

    Is it reasonable to ask a large amount of people gathered in one place not to interact? See? Hear? Or otherwise judge someone to be attractive?
    No.

    Also, a large part of the attraction of PAX is to be around other gamers/nerds. Its a place where you can be yourself around the things you love with other people who share your interest. A place that if I say I want to tap something, I don't mean a keg, but 2 mountains so I can cast Kindle to do 2 damage and an additional 1 for each kindle already in my graveyard.

    After all this thread itself is ABOUT posting pictures of yourself so that other people know what you look like.

    So the question to ask yourself is:

    Is it reasonable to be offended when someone indicates that they find you attractive?

    Wow essay much? lol jk
    To reply....

    Wow I must not be human then, because I rarely; and I do mean rarely, ever asset others for being a potentional 'mate', etc. On the whole, I honestly could care less about the whole ordeal of that 'other' or attraction.

    But you're right, this thread is to post photos of yourself, which I did, but mainly for lawls and boredom and cause I am far to lazy to read through the other threads that don't have shiny pictures in them to keep me entertained.

    To answer you question in a personal manner: I don't find it offensive (well sometimes, when I'm called 'fu**ing hot cause it makes me feel like a whoreish piece of meat) but I just don't know how to take 'comments' I guess. I never got many growing up, so when given one now, I don't know how to respond but with a sarcastic remark.



    ANYWAYS. rawr at this topic, back to posting shtuffz. :3 (V V tis me rawring.. get it? AHAHA I'm witty. like a tree. a dead one. a very bored and dead one. with a cat beside it. and some bird poopy on a branch. >.> )
