I deleted the original message, cause someone said it was inappropriate. Anyway, I hate it when people cock block you over phony moralism. That's what it was about. Some dude, who brags about everything sexual he does told me I was objectifying women when I told him I was gonna get laid. I didn't call her my ho or some possessive, disrespectful name or anything, just said that she bluntly told me, more or less, that she wanted to get it on with me and that I got her number. It just irritated me. I think he was just saying that because he's not getting any. That's really what I think its about, just based on how indignant the guy was to me. That fake moralism really gets on my nerves, and I found this instance3 particularly hypocritical. Anyone else have this experience?

What I think its about is you and your ego. You feel some need to tell others that you are "active" and for some reason think we might care... You are probably airing it here cause no one else you know cares either.
-peace
To be honest, I haven't told anyone about it. I haven't even said anything to anyone else. I'm probably using the anonymity of the internet too much to vent personal issues. I'm not the kind of person that runs around and runs my jaw ona nd on to people when they don't want to hear about it though. If someone says TMI, or gives me a look, I normally change the subject. Anyway, I'm sorry for posting this subject matter, and I won't do it ever again.
Look - Firstly - don't compare apples with oranges, i.e. compare yourself with your friend.
Secondly - not really a situation to discuss here (but i have a feeling you knew that)
Thirdly - Good for you (for you know what)
Oh, get over it, guys. Any person who is on the internet knows about "this stuff." Unless MV goes into grotesque detail about actually doing it, the thread is fine.
In fact when I first read the heading of this thread I thought he was intoxicated
Anyway - each to his own.
That about sums it up?
And about your friend. Is the noise bothering you or are you bothering the noise.
People think a lot of things. Let it go. Move on.
We live in a scary world, where even normal things like sex are frowned upon.
It is what it is. Sex is empty like everything else. Neither good nor bad. Up to you.
Much love.
did the explanation of how 'she said she wanted to have sex with you' come before or after you said, "dude, i'm gonna get laid!" because if the explanation came after, i would be tempted to say, to your friend it must have looked like an overly presumptuous statement after a girl simply gave you her number, and therefore, i would agree that it is degrading to women to assume that any girl who gives you her number wants to have sex with you.
obviously, your statement wasn't based upon assumption, but rather a comment the girl actually made... i'm just trying to see the other side of the argument.
or, it could be like you said... your friend was jealous and wanted to rain on your parade. that happens too. *shrugs* this is pretty common behavior by people who aren't very happy in their own situations, you should really try not to let it bother you so much. just realize it for what it is and move on.
Trungpa Rinpoche called viewing murder as just emptiness to be 'shunyata poisoning'
Wow, I'm surprised this thread is still going based off the first responses. I was certain it was gonna be closed.
So ultimately things are empty. But relatively we project what we want onto things. We call things bad or good but they lack all those qualities.
This is just my opinion.
Never take anyone's words for fact. They are just words.
form is emptiness and emptiness is form...
The buddha nature is emptiness and it is also clarity openness and sensitivity. From the lack of inherent characteristics all the myriad of insubstantial (appearance) characteristics are given birth.
Kind of like in the Tao Tai Ching the 10000 things all come from the Tao. You dig?
'Shunyata poisoning' is a wrong view of emptiness that leads to suffering
In light of some other discussions on this site recently, about how easy it is for women to get sex (I know no women who believe this), may I ask you, Mellow, was this an average-looking woman, or above-average? If she'd been plain and ordinary-looking,or overweight, would you've been so excited? Would you've called her at all? Just wondering how the male mind works, if you don't mind me picking your brain.
BTW, it looks like the mods dealt with the perceived inappropriateness of your thread by "sinking" it. It doesn't pop up to the top when there's a new contribution. but they're allowing it to stay active.
