Denzera, I'm not quite sure why you felt the need to write an essay as a rebuttal to a simple observation but it makes you come off as quite a bloody tool (the 2,715 posts on an internet forum don't help either). Unemployment must suck, huh?

<p>It's a wide-spread misconception that a wordy and pretentious statement criticising another for being long-winded is ironic. A properly ironic response would be one that is pithy and concise. Unemployment does suck but that's very much besides the point. Stop hating on others - it's unbecoming. </p>

... I must request that you stop posting if you have no real substance to add to this otherwise amusing thread.

<p>More irony! This entire thread is largely without substance - your contribution in particular. </p>
<p>Denz, I found your post interesting. Anyhow, I'm [sincerely] wondering how you'd recommend expressing one's intelligence, sense of humour, and status without talking too much or coming across as an arrogant ******bag. </p>
<p>"although judging by the way you've presented yourself, I'm assuming you aren't quite in their league..."</p>
<p>Totally. Barnard girls have standards. </p>
<p>By the way, confidentialcoll, the guys at columbia are just fine--and my close friends are smokin' (both guys and girls). Yes, they graduated, it's true. That's besides the point. This thing is this: anyone who walks onto an Ivy league campus and expects it to be swarming with sirens is sadly delusional. They exist, you just have to look harder. Winter plays a part too: come April, when everyone and their mother is sprawled out on the steps, the campus gets more attractive. Shockingly so.</p>

Well for starters, definitely don't take it from me. Here's some primers straight from the syllabus of "making people give a damn about you 101":</p>

I really don't know what's worse for you guys: deliberately staying celibate due to lack of quality pickings or imprudently acting on sub-prime flesh out of sexual desperation?

<p>I'm not sure why this thread has caused so much controversy. At a bar in a drunken state on any given Saturday night at 2am, this is a dilemma that dudes have to face all the time.</p>

<p>How about not acting like you are just now?</p>
