It should stay dead and buried. Being nice gets you no where in life.


Being nice gets you farther than being cynical and bitter.


Hold on a sec. Since when (and why?) being cynical means automatically that you're bitter too and not able/willing to be nice? Giving and receiving are two different things.


This is very true, but cynicism and bitterness often go hand in hand. I'm not saying that they're the same thing or even that everyone who is cynical is also bitter. Just that bitter people are usually cynical. The same way that people who are outgoing to the point of being really annoying are usually optimists.

The word chivalry reeks of doing something for someone who's 'helpless' because they can't do it on their own (i.e. women being the weaker sex so men have to cater to them).

It also reeks of doing something nice for a woman just to have a better 'chance' of being with her.

Not a fan of those connotations, myself.

However, doing nice things just to be nice, (as in, you'd do it for ANYONE and not just a girl you fancy) is 100% a-ok. But I wouldn't call it chivalry.


Reek is such a ... horrible negative word. Chivalry was a code of conduct for Knights in medieval times, not just about "rescuing damsels in distress". T me chivalry is the exact opposite of doing something to get into a woman's knickers, it's doing something for them for the sake of being nice and mennerly, no ulterior motives.


I have to agree, it has the same connotation to me, and it is a code of honor and an attitude of doing the right thing and being helpful and generous and expecting nothing in return for it, it really has nothing to do with riding in on your horse and rescuing a damsel in distress, women can be just as chivalrous its a way of thinking and a mindset of treating others with respect and human dignity


I'd have to agree too, being nice to a girl just to get into her pants isn't chivalrous. That's being a manipulative douche.

Extremer obesity?

Fear of immobility was mentioned earlier. Though it was directed at the females I'm going to answer it too.

The thought of being so fat that I can no longer fit through doorways of any size or even get out of bed on my own is thrilling to me. In fact one of my go to fantasies now is getting stuck in a doorway to a buffet and being fed all the food in the whole restaurant by a waitress who also happens to be a feeder in order to break the doorframe so I can get free.

That being said, I think immobility is pure fantasy for me. Never to be attempted in real life because even if you're lucky enough to avoid health issues through all your gains they'll catch up to you when you can no longer move under your own power.

So, barring some scientific breakthrough that'll eliminate all health issues of extreme obesity *fingers still crossed on that one*, I have to say no to immobility.

Extremer obesity?

Not a woman...but...

I've noticed that trend with myself, when I first started gaining I thought 300lbs would be enough. Then that became 400lbs, which became 500lbs. And now I find myself fantasizing about upper 900's.

And to be honest, though I've never been a fan of "planetary sizes", I've been known to indulge in fantasies that have me taking up several city blocks on my own...
