I think everyone has pretty much nailed it, though I do have one thing to contribute: our current pace of life.
I don't think our current pace that we live our lives allows much time for piety and religious thought. Many people are immersed in this very materialistic world, and it's getting more and more competitive by the day. It's a dog-eat-dog society out there, rich and poor, and if you aren't doing something to enhance the bottom line of the business you work for, you're going to get laid off. I think a lot of people are finding other avenues of stress relievers other than religion due to the availability of many services and luxuries and products, all offspring from technology - and we come full circle.

Futari Ecchi
You guys are making me more self-concious of my weight, even though I don't look fat.
I wanna work out more, but I'm soo out of shape that my muscles still hurt from Monday's workout.

If I were to be serious about this for a moment. Most religion threads are asking for trouble in my opinion and I tend to ignore them. Most of the time it is either someone who is either looking for a argument, trolling or an idiot. Almost all religious threads follow the same pattern. It's a why do you or why don't you question, the majority of the people that post do not believe in god or any religion in general and a argument/debate (if you can call this debating) results from it. Have you checked our religion threads here at FAKKU? I'm guessing you haven't, and they aren't as bad as you make them out to be.

I have to agree with Gibbous on this thoroughly. It screams of desperation to blame the girl because she always seems to fall in love with the asshole type. Now who is the real asshole? The way I see it your blaming the girl for your own shortfalls. Don't blame the asshole types and certain don't blame the girls. It's entirely your fault. Figure it out and stop trying to post blame on everyone, but yourself. I'm not trying to say become an asshole, but don't use it as an excuse for when you fail to reach a girl's heart.
Wait, who are you refering to? I don't think anyone except the author of the articles is blaming the female side of this relationship equation.
@ZiggyOtaku: Rebounding, as you put it, sounds too good to be true in real life. From what I've experienced (and heard), guys who become an emo can for the girls to dump their life into are nothing more than "friends" and the girls don't go for them. Weird psychology at play, (I'm not using my brain enough since I just took a test today, otherwise I might be able to come up with a reasonable psych hypothesis) and I can't really explain it. Sometimes, I also don't think anyone understands each other, both women and men, and sometimes the signals go completely over each other's heads. Women say men can't read signals... but on the other hand men feel that women don't understand what they want either. Maybe this is the result of the current system, I dunno.
@SunQuan: the timing excuse is bullshit, and I think a lot people realize that, but your post smacks of truth, I can attest.
@gibbous: oh shit, my bad about the nation... I thought you said you were from Canada, but I'm wrong though. However, I do think that you are one cold guy, and I mean this as a compliment and a criticism. As for choice a), that's something reasonable, but I've never really seen it for myself, and choice b) I think that happens after a bitter experience of rejection(s).
@Fumako: ultimately, and like every other user said, one needs confidence. You can be a nice guy but you've got to have confidence. I'm assuming that the article talks about nice guys who are spineless from the beginning finally grow a spine but it's already too late by then.

So far I've only read Contact Harvest and Ghost of Onyx but Fall of Reach is high on my list of books I need to read ( though i've read most about what happend in it on the internetz )How can you miss the first installment in the Halo novel series and read the other two? Strikes me as rather odd. In order of publishment date:
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Ghost of Onyx
Contact Harvest
Cole Protocol
If translated by FAKKU, no problem. If re-releasing someone else's work, then it's a nono. I think that's about it.

184 cm with 78kg .. I don't think i'm overweight.. but.. I still think i need to work out to lose some weight, but lazyness beats me..That's pretty good actually, 6'2" at 172lbs. I'm 5'8" at 212lbs. At best, my weight should be 170, and that's taking into consideration my height, body frame, and musculature. (is that even a word?)

So it's been about a month since the new design went online. Outside of things that haven't been finished yet (mainly the image section), what does everyone think of the new design now that you have gotten used to it?I want to hear all opinions and suggestions.
You know me. Any complaint/suggestion/comment from me goes straight into the Feedback/Suggestions forum. It's much better than the old, I'll give you that since the speed is great, but once all the bugs and booboos are fixed, the new site design would be awesome and incomparable to the old.
@Das: that vid made me remind how pathethic Sunohara really was... I'm glad he came to his senses though.
I tell you what's an underrated series - Angel Heart. While set in a parallel universe to City Hunter, the anime was nothing short of amazing, great plot, great adventures, and great character development. Totally underrated in my opinion.

UNCLE PHIL, ALTHOUGH IT WAS A NICE GESTURE TO TRY AND GET MORE VISITORS HERE, THERE WAS ONE MAJOR FLAW IN YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO FAKKU:IT'S FAKKU.NET, NOT FAKKU.COM
Owned.
And seriously, lollollol12, stop using caps because it makes it seem as if you're always yelling, which lazyasschilipepper was trying to demonstrate and simultaneously poke fun at.

Pssst: If you just write out the tags the way you did, they won't show up, because they'll be parsed. In the future, use curly braces, like so {b}{i}{u}{s}{sup}{sub}{quote}{align=center} if you want to demonstrate BBcode use.Psssst2: You an also just use html straight away .
Lol, I didn't even realize my BBcode that I wrote in my previous post got screwed over... and I don't know html. I'm just saying that BBcode does work, and temporarily for those who want to use said functions, manually type in the code to get it to show.

Great debate? How is this a debate at all? Gunma all the way man; there's nothing without Gunma.You say that, but looking at the numbers, nearly half of the voters voted for Yamatogawa, including me.
@gibbous: well said. I do agree that nice-guys have to take their lumps and go on the initiative, and if they don't, that lack of initiative is their own fault and they have no right to complain. It's just that there are guys who do what I wrote aforementioned and get turned down... and is vexing if not downright infuriating.
It does take two to tango, but I'm guessing the nice-guy part won over in said situation, and if he does confess and gets rejected, I'm not sure if its the guys fault at all.
Damn man, from whatever part you're from (I think it was Canada, right?), them guys need to grow some balls.

Like I insinuated in the other thread: If you don't want to slide into the role of the friend-as-therapist, be staunch in your refusal of that role. Of course it is possible to blame the guy, too. Takes two to tango in this "dilemma".
