Mr. Tight Fister never ceases to amaze me with how he can get chicks even though his clothes are all crumply.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643411155176831386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831340837316208945.post-69179630670350743052009-06-05T20:26:26.311+01:002009-06-05T20:26:26.311+01:00I will personally attest that the author of this b...I will personally attest that the author of this blog does not iron his shirts or pants and girls throw themselves at him.<br /><br />There are plenty of scientists on this blog, so you will enjoy a good unfounded theory. Economists please test this:<br /><br />First consider the following lemma. In computer animation there is a theory of the uncanny valley. If a character looks completely animated, people find it adorable. If a person is completely non-animated they find it pleasing as well. However, there is a middle zone where the human characters look like plastic zombies (Toy Story 1, Polar Express). The problem was not that the animation was not real enough, its that they were almost real. It creeps everyone out.<br /><br />Similarly, when you go out to pick up girls at a party we can consider three cases.<br />1. You are very well dressed, and despite even middling looks girls think that by possessing you, they may -- for a moment -- be able to live in a classy wonderful place that they fantasize about.<br /><br />2. Next there is the case that you are dressed pretty nice, but not great. Your shirt is good but not perfect, your pants are of the right style but not top end, and it shows, you are wearing shoes that you thought were cool in highschool but have not updated for your age. This is the uncanny valley of cool. You now inhabit the land of thousand douche bags - girls can't tell you are smart, sensitive, and read the tight fist. They also would rather call their ex-boy-friend than sleep with you.<br /><br />3. Last is the zone the author of this blog inhabits. His clothes offer no indication of anything, simply no one would wear that if they intended to get laid. He clearly has enough money to stave off Hep C and brush his teeth, yet his clothes are so cheap. Immediately the girl, confronted, must turn her focus to his other qualities. Having removed clothes as a symbol of wealth, he is no longer judged by them.<br /><br />This is only a theory, but I have to find some analysis that explains why girls fall for the author of this blog and his cheapness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939774355564395175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831340837316208945.post-81827462560179533182009-06-05T20:22:37.849+01:002009-06-05T20:22:37.849+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939774355564395175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831340837316208945.post-77465136036219632922009-06-05T17:58:01.566+01:002009-06-05T17:58:01.566+01:00Yeah I am waiting for a post about tight fisted co...Yeah I am waiting for a post about tight fisted cooking in your own home.Will Schildknechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904969604546301355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831340837316208945.post-47217127140886242162009-06-05T11:23:20.851+01:002009-06-05T11:23:20.851+01:00this has got to be the most awesome post by far.
