do what they did, including get popular with the girls. That is where he learned ths behavior. He was constantly angered that anyone had anything he did not have. He mimiced other boys hs whole life. So, that's where that came from.

Cosmopolitan represents what to you, exactly? And trash like Maxim? Who gives a shit, really, LOL. Men wear various kinds of dress, buy cars and do all sorts of stupid shit to look attractive too. And people can actually see that you have groomed (or not) and wear, and own things have all sorts of feelings about it. Good bad or indifferent, humans ornament themselves- if you are fooled by it- you are a fucking idiot.

You seem to be saying that having so little respect for the opposite sex that faking other personalities, and lying or trying hypnosis on people, to trick them into thinking you are worthy of sex is something normal and mainstream that a lot of people do? Sorry- only the most pathetic assholes do that.

Hope this helped!
