JERRY: So tell us about the trip. How’s Dr. Reston? ELAINE: Oh, he’s fine. JERRY: Things are good? ELAINE: Yeah, you know (scratches cheek) JERRY: Uh oh. ELAINE: What, Uh oh? JERRY: Did you see that? GEORGE: Yeah, I saw it. ELAINE: What? JERRY: It’s a tell. You gotta tell. ELAINE: What tell? What’s a tell? JERRY: When you ask someone about their relationship and they touch their face you know it’s not going too well. Go ahead ask me how it’s going with somebody. ELAINE: Um, uh, who’s it going with, uh, Alice? JERRY: Good, going good [scratches chin] And the higher up on the face you go the worse the relationship is getting. You know it is like - pretty good (touches cheek) - not bad (scratches nose) - I gotta get out (palms to forehead).
Girls often form their groups of friends based on attractiveness. It could be conscious or unconscious. I think this happens because they want to create some sort of weird competition within their group of friends.
This theory is similar to the idea explored in The 40 Year Old Virgin of “Putting the pussy on a pedastal.”
When you meet someone you wanna get at, on some “Call Me Maybe” hype, you create their identity in your mind as the hottest, coolest, realest person out. You build them up into something they’re not, because you don’t really know them. Then after you spend more time with them, you realize they’re not all-that.
When a guy is jacking off to porn, he will find a comfortable spot to begin, then start the process until he feels himself nearing the cumming stage. This feeling might be like 20 seconds before the nut. At this marker he will fast-forward or reload the video quickly back to his favorite scene or position, then proceed to jizz during that scene.
While men are peeing in a urinal, they often try to pee as loud as possible. They think if you pee louder, it will seem to the other men that you have a larger penis. There is no research or science behind this concept of loud pee = big penis, but men still try and piss as loud as possible. In addition, when a man pee’s loudly, it is known to the other men in the bathroom that he is successfully pissing and does not have stage-fright.
All men have prolonged some of their masturbation sessions by slowing down their strokes right before they cum to practice not cumming too quickly. The purpose of this practice and training is to last longer when they are intimate with another person.
When a straight guy is in a class he will pick out and form opinions on which girl in the class is the most attractive. Relative to the class.
Now whenever he sees that girl outside of the class, he will still think she is as cute as she is inside the class - even though she is now outside of the class, a different relative space which presumably has much more attractive women.
As Sam said, “Biases formed in a strictly comparative setting hold even when that setting is no longer present.”
