possibly off-topic, but i feel the need to say something anyway ...

i have to say, the tone of this thread? striking me as awfully sexist.

first page talks crap about leadership being a male trait.

third page talks about how much girls like it when you tell them what to do (but of course they wont admit it).

now we have another example of a man exerting his alpha-ness by deciding not to pick up his friend's girlfriend, but a different hottie instead.

where is the woman's agency in any of this?

are you guys all so young that you cannot see women as FULLY FORMED creatures with our own ideas and desires? are we really just there so you can assert how powerful you are by being able to pick us up?

i am getting pretty disturbed by this. i know that a lot of really young men hang out on these forums, but dang. i'd like to see a little more perspective and realization that women are ACTUAL PEOPLE! JUST LIKE YOU! not just trophies to be collected or challenges to be surmounted so you can level up in your personal development.

(men feeling as though they have to dominate women is the classic case of 'the lady doth protest too much.' scared of female power much?)
