Just Wondering 2....

At this point, you should understand why your point of instincts was retarded, Tachyon.

The only problem is that 100% of what Kalistean said is total nonsense.

Just to clarify some things:
LostQuartet is a GIRL.
I am a GUY.

Of course LostQuartet roots for the GIRL in this scenario, because she feels empathetic.
If you want the GUY to "win", you must obviously listen to advice from a GUY.

I'm a guy, and I still disagree with you.

I stand behind Kalistean's take.

How is it nonsense?

So you are saying that we as a species are indeed covered in fur. That we fling our poop and eat it as part of our behavior?

Heck, are you saying that because Chimpanzees will eat their young means that obviously we have the same behavior?

You eat babies. Disgusting.

No man, we don't have the same behaviors and physical attributes as other species just because they are related to us in some way. We are more likely to take on characteristics they have, yes, but that doesn't mean "They have it, so we do." Because that just isn't fucking true. If it was, then we would be the same fucking species as them.

Do I need to teach you about evolution now?

We don't have those types of instincts. Those types of behavior. And other various things because we adapted away from them.

The biggest reason why is because of our intellect. Out intellect allowed us to adapt away from those instincts and behavior because they were no longer necessary or beneficial in consideration to our species anymore.

And I'm more of a man than your bitch ass will ever be. So if you want the guy to win you should argue on my side.

A lot of users know I'm a girl, but it doesn't make my points any less valid. How did I root for the girl in this scenario? I'm rooting for the guy and girl. The guy wants to keep his friendship, I gave advice for that. In your scenario, you're insisting he act like a douchebag and manipulate her into dating him. I'm saying that would be a terrible move on his part and would not benefit either of them. Loving relationships don't spawn from manipulation and lies.

Stop being a sexist moron. Telling me I can't give advice to men due to the fact that I'm a woman. Really? I'm sorry you feel that way, but that is not the case.

I put a jetpack on my penis and it flew away. Woosh~

Sure is SD all up in here.

isnt tachyon that troll from a while back, the one that called neya a leftist and said he was leaving due to butthurt?

Lol, love between Latinos.

Anywho, I meant he should ask a mutual friend - one that isn't going to sabatoge you for asking if the person you like is in a deep relationship or if it is just getting lift off. Heck, our person tendallacandybar here could do that for him if he knows this girl.

Also, no matter who you are talking too, your friend's advice on your relationship(s) are always going to be biased. It isn't set in stone that he wont be able to talk about relationships with you. Even if you don't feel comfortable doing that anymore - oh well! It doesn't mean you'll stop or should stop being friends unless the only things you guys ever did together was drink tea and talk about your love life and how he isn't a part of it. For our protagonist here, that is a fair trade - risk having to avoid talking about her love life (which he might not even do anyways) for a chance to be with the girl he loves.

My point is, letting your feelings known is going to send any sane girl to flip a giant switch labeled "FRIEND" to off. Things might be awkward for a few days at worst, but you'll still be friends and in time you can even act like it wasn't a big deal and joke about it later. BUT, it is risk he should take or he is going to always wonder "what if?" and hate himself for not at least knowing what could of been.

[font=Verdana][color=green]It's pretty obvious what he should do; nothing. I can't believe that there's even confusion in his part.

Yep.

[font=Verdana][color=green]Well, he seems to be sweeping through the Serious Discussion forums.

He does that. He'll go to Serious Discussion, and then just take whatever side of the argument no one else is arguing, and then make wild, baseless claims that border if not are biased and bigoted in some way.

If there isn't a side of the argument no one else is arguing, he'll make one.

[font=Verdana][color=green]Well, whilst it can be seen as bad, I actually don't mind it. It provides the other side of the coin's opinion, and it can truly test the other side's arguments.

However, I do get bloody sick of his reducio ad aburdium. I must have called him up on it at least three times!

A devil's advocate is not bad.

He is not a devil's advocate. He's just a pitiful little wannabe troll.

@Granth:
Whatever you are, you are to dumb to read properly. I never said anyone had to agree with ME, but listen to A GUY, if the person concerned is A GUY in A GUY-GIRL situation.

@Kalistean:
Good old stupid Kalistean. You probably heard the world Evolution somewhere, and now you make everything up in your empty head. You actually don't even have a remote idea of how the brain works and how it evolved.

1. Intelligence and instincts have nothing to do with each other. Instincts are processed from the Amygdala, while intelligent actions are processed in the Neo-Cortex. They coexist you fucking moron, get this in your empty head! You can be the Lucasian Professor, you will still get a hard on when you see a sexually-arousing woman!

2. All mammals have a rudimentary identical limbic system! All Amnoites have a rudimentary identical "Reptilian brain". So WE DO all have the same basic instincts, you uneducated prick!

3. The human brain has not changed since 200.000 years. The only reason why we act differently now, is because our social environment has changed, you dumbfuck!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE I have to explain the most basic knowledge on how the brain functions to a bunch of people on some forum. WHAT DO YOU HAVE THE INTERNET FOR!?
Kali is of course a very stupid specimen, but why am I the first one to object about the unscientific bullshit he writes?

Kali, I know you have education-wise nothing more than high-school, and I don't accuse you for being stupid in the first place, many people in the USA are. But why don't you even try to educate yourself? Have you ever read specialized book in your entire life, no matter what topic? You seem to have serious problems in your life, you are probably unemployed, 35 years old, living with your mum, and still a virgin. Educate yourself, go to college, or just get a job! You would do yourself and the world a favor!

@SamRavster:
If you use a Latin phrase:
1. Don't use the same phrase over and over, because it will make your vocabulary appear poor.
2. SPELL THE PHRASE PROPERLY! Or it will make you look totally uneducated. "reducio ad aburdium" is gibberish and does not mean anything!

@Waar:
Butthurt? In contrast to to you I have other workings in my life apart from FAKKU.

SURE IS RAGE TROLLIN' UP IN HERE. Go take a chill pill Tachyon.

Where should I begin?

I never said instincts and intelligence were the same thing retard. I said that intelligence has an affect on how we adapt and which things we retain and do not retain.

This is true and always will be regardless of how you argue.

Or environment HAS US ADAPT. Do you not understand this concept? Social environment causes adaption as well. Yes, even physical changes.

Another thing kid you don't seem to understand. We have have similar styles of brains and such. But animals do not have the same exact fucking instincts. Predator animals have several different instincts than prey animals do. Even in the same fucking environment with the 'same' type of brain they adapted different instincts.

Why? Because intelligence and behavior had a role in the the fucking adaption.

So you can whine all day about how "We should have this because this and this is similar" but it won't make it anymore true.

We do not have those instincts as species in general. It has even been theorized that we lost almost all of our instincts but that is an entirely other discussion.

It's cute you make the assumption I only have high school education and try to tell me I should read a book on the subject. Is that what you did? You read a book on the subject after high school and now think it is the law?

Btw. The Limbic system you so graciously started to whine about is not even accepted by the entirety of scientists. Partially because of its existence is not really supported by facts.

But cool story anyways.

Edit: Btw, do you think he realizes that he is showing his butthurt with his every post now because of his signature?

I don't think he does.

I suppose getting his point across in a civil, non-troll, manner was too much of a challenge. Oh well, suppose one could have expected as much.

Wow, perhaps I should have put this in SD. Anyways, I've read all you post and compared the outcomes of each. I personally agree with those who said he should move on since she's already serious with someone else.

When I told my friend this morning my answer, he got angry and said I was trying to sabotage his "relationship" with her. Oh well it's up to him now.

Any who....

To all those who took the time to share their opinions, I thank you. You were very helpful.
