I'll say 2 things to this:
a) I'm not a complete dick. I have had some serious conversations/interactions with several people here, including some females. I'm not just a random poster to some of them.
b) you are right. I don't necessarily like all that either. I don't like playing games, but unfortunately you typically have to. and for all the chicks that say they don't like games, 90% of them can't help join in when one has begun. it's just natural. and I found out all this crap by accident. it just so happens that my natural demeanor / personality put me in those situations a lot and eventually I figured out how well it works with some females.
