@Icecream

Again, not going to quote the large block of text. I has to type a paper so I'll keep this brief.

My comment about no one being able to force you to do something was in response to hypnotism.

On the entire block about hustling: These people use a person's ignorance to harm the  individual financially. However, the person being hustled/swindled is also out to gain something as well, otherwise, they'd have never been swindled. Give me 5000 so you can make 500000. Play me in pull so you can take my money. Both parties are looking to profit off the another individual and yet one is seen as bad and the other "innocent."

Leading to genuineness: Point B to C relies on assumption (even if you did manage to define genuine). The one situation where you can say for certain that the operator believes this, is in the case where the operator says, "I love you" then the operator sleeps with the receiver and never--calls--again. The operator, though, in the case of the game, is genuine. Whether he uses words he cooked up in a poem, or the words his friend taught him two minutes earlier, eventually, his intent is clear. Without his intent being clearly known the interaction is likely to 'not' go in his favor. In fact, that is one of the rules is it not? I could be wrong, please check.

Because i thought he knew that i knew that his actions weren't entirely genuine, i thought b.) wasn't fulfilled. Unfortunately, i was wrong.

Wait, you knew he wasn't entirely genuine and made a conscious decision to continue with him? It's because he was hot wasn't it. Common, just admit it, we're all friends here. wink

On creepy and genuine: Genuineness and congruence go hand in hand. If I say you're my best friend, but I spent all my time with Thora and we laugh and play together, I confide in her more often, I give her gifts and only come to you when she's not in town or I just broke up with my girlfriend, I'm not being congruent with what I say. And more than likely I'm not being genuine.

On plagiarism at the piano: At what point do the individuals state, these are my own words, I'm just cool like that? Also there needs to be some originality as pointed out in the book by a female finishing his lines.

On confident atmosphere: That night he'd probably be a bit shocked at the fact that a female actually gave him advice instead of blowing him off. It'd make the female more attractive, and the guy, assuming he's intelligent enough to take the advice, is one step closer to being "genuine," no?

How old am I: I have the emotion intelligence of a prodigal twelve year old. You should believe this statement about as much as you should believe that those close.... guy.... friends.... don't want to **** you. Blunt, but yeah....

You not accepting what I assumed to be a complement: Typical. tongueI want a divorce.

<@_#> i......will.....do.....anything....you....say....

Tell me your name. We can save the more dirty stuff for when I put the kids to bed. Wouldn't want them waking up and ruining our fun. wink

They say neurology is the new philosophy, and to magamo; I'm pretty sure 1 language would do, their native, native language.
