Am I the only one to notice that female and beta male internet writers are usually long-winded and wordy?
I think this was written for laughs, but I call this the "Star Wars Hamster"
I've long noticed that nerdy men continue jokes and gags way too long, to the point of making a joke that was initially good sound terribly uncool. Nerds get exhausted by constantly riffing and freestyling, they like to settle on one gag and hammer the living hell out of it. Personally, I fucking hate this sort of humor when done poorly - Family Guy seemed to do it a lot.
Roissy had a good post awhile back about how in general, you should avoid lasering in on one subject with a girl, and instead flit from one topic to another.

This was my contribution to Craigslist that made the best of list. Some of you might have already read it. Tom Leykis actually read it over the air when he was still broadcasting (he's webcasting now):

I didn't know that was you - I wasn't even sure if the story was true, but I do recall reading it in several places. Major props.
