Dr. Helen Aids And Abets Male Pussy Syndrome

What are we going to do with Dr. Helen? She's refreshingly -- bracingly, actually -- pro-male but sometimes her impulses get the better of her.

Like this link -- the "Instapundit link of silent approval" she learned from her husband -- to a whining "Recovering Nice Guy" who mewls that all those women he befriended and never actually asked out didn't fall in love with a gutless pussy.

As semi-recovering pussy myself, I have some sympathy for my fellow pussies who can never seem to nut up enough to actually take the bold step of clearly and plainly announcing their romantic designs on a woman (wow, what a concept), but not so much sympathy that I can condone this destructive behavior or encourage self-styled "Nice Guys" to keep up with their pussy behavior.

You're -- we're -- not "Nice Guys." You/we want exactly what the "Not Nice Guys" want from women, which is to say Sex, Companionship, Sex, Romance, Sex and Sex in that order. You/we are just too a-scared to say so. Which isn't Nice. It's just cowardly.

Compare to this post from Pretty Numbers. The backstory is that a guy was smitten by a woman he saw on a train; rather than saying so, he said nothing, but then later wrote on Craigslist about his instant love for the woman. Well, improbably, the woman found out about the post and wound up dating him. So he's being celebrated for... being a pussy and hitting the lottery.

I imagine he's being celebrated by other pussy men who are sitting there thinking, "YES! YES! That's the way to do it!" Not so much.

You know what I think should make the media go in a frenzy? Some guy that actually has the balls to talk to a cute girl on the subway. Because really, all of these 'Missed Connections' on Craigslist are entertaining and fun to read and all, but how many of them pan out in the end? Answer: Not many. And now just because one cute story did pan out, and it happened to be between a Drew Barrymore-esque Aussie intern with flowers in her hair and some generic hipsterboy, it instills hope where hope surely has no place.

Eh. Fathers, tell your sons: There's nothing noble or "nice" at all about pining silently for a woman you've befriended under false pretenses. Although asking a woman out is probably a futile action in most cases -- hey, if a woman likes a guy, she'll eventually chase him -- at least asking the question gets it over with and frees a guy up to stop wasting his time and move on to asking the next woman he's attracted to. And it just might be, maybe, that women are less than attracted to guys who don't have the sack to ask them out on a simple date.

Young men should be told this.

1) A girl worth pursuing is, well, worth actually pursuing, not just hanging out with as a "buddy" in hopes that she'll screw you when drunk or emotionally vulnerable. Maybe she'd like an actual courtship and pursuit rather than an awkward hook-up that winds up going on for a couple of months.

2) Girls like flattery and it's flattering to have someone express clear romantic interest.

3) If you think she's out of your league she probably is and you should move on. Still, never hurts to ask. See point 2, supra. At least if you've actually told her she's attractive you've identified yourself as having the exquisitely discerning taste to find her attractive, which puts you head and shoulders above most guys (see point 4, infra).

4) A distressingly high number of American men suffer from advanced male pussy syndrome. Pretty much if you nut up and ask a girl out you're already ahead of 80% of the pussies in your pussy cohort.

And most importantly:

5) Stop being such a little pussy bitch and ask her out already, you homo. Are you afraid of a fucking girl? What the fuck's the matter with you? I could understand if we were talking about making a move on Martin Fucking Riggs from Lethal Weapon, but we're not. Queer.

It's too late for me. Or for most of us who suffer from this disease. But it's not too late for the next generation.

Via Hot Air on the first link and PetiteDov on the second.

AoSHQ Readers 90% Less Pussy Than Hot Air Readers: Too much whining and poor-me-ing at Hot Air.

Women like Anwyn and Baldilocks are telling them their act isn't working and will never work but they don't seem to want to take the medicine.
