<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>
<p>
</p>
<p>More irony! This entire thread is largely without substance - your contribution in particular. </p>
<p>Enough nonsense. </p>
<p>Columbia girls are perfectly fine.</p>
<p>Luke the QB from the '36 team is the star player of which I speak… You didnt think I was referring to today’s QB did you? </p>
<p>thanks narc for reassuring us that CU girls are perfectly fine. I feel all better</p>
<p>yeah, i’m not even going to start talking about what a pig the OP sounds like.</p>
<p>but, subjectively, i thought I may give you some hope. There are still Barnard girls across the street…</p>
<p>although judging by the way you’ve presented yourself, I’m assuming you aren’t quite in their league… ;)</p>
<p>OP, you sound like Silas from angels and demons</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>Enlighten me…</p>
<p>^^HAHAHA.</p>
<p>This thread is annoying.</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>

<p>What an obscure little reference.</p>
<p>Wait, wasn’t Silas in the Da Vinci Code?</p>
<p>No matter, the reference holds hilarious.</p>
<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>

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