I’m really uncomfortable with people who use complex words and phrases in an attempt to sound intelligent and then use them either incorrectly or in a clunky, over-stylized fashion. I find it makes people who want to sound intelligent sound less so and is often a decent tell that someone has an over-inflated sense of their own importance and/or intelligence. I have met a number of PUAs who engage in this sort of abuse of language and I’m not sure if it is a symptom of how they compensate for their feelings of inadequacy or if it is just part of the script. Either way, language in conversations is always best when it is used to communicate not used to inflate the speaker/writer’s ego. Just saying.

Side note or rather a note on topic to the OP: Heina this post is, as usual, wonderful and communicates something I’ve thought for a long time but have never been quite able to articulate. Thanks.

M’thew- One of my houses is filled with oak, one mahogany, the other is modern. I’ve developed an eclectic taste and respect that in others, but I would in fact say that their carpet reminds me of spilled wine in a once decent white carpeted living room, and also that red wine is my favorite and brings back some of the best childhood memories after growing up in an Italian cultured family.

Freemange- I enjoy having an aura of mystique surrounding my extroversion attitudes towards social dynamics, and my penis.

God, how can Moto’s posts be so simultaneously derivative & formulaic AND incoherent & inarticulate? If you’re going to be so predictable, at least put the effort in to make it comprehensible.

Hai Moto,

When you visit people’s houses for the first time, do you tell them (without them asking you) that, yeah, the carpet is too red and the chairs don’t go with the couch, but, y’know, overall it shows that there’s someone with a distinct taste living there?

You wouldn’t stay in my house for long, I can tell you.
