It's my (100% correct) opinion that men only attempt to better themselves in order to put their penis in someone better. Women are slightly more complex because they don't have to make any effort to sleep with someone—all they have to do is nod in the affirmative.
So you're going to use your writing to move up the social ladder?
How's that working out?
Unless you were trying to be funny...Hahaha...ahem, if you were...that statement just isn't true, at least not 100% true, though it is 100% opinion, of which you are entitled. I'll go ahead and be that 1-10% guy who has no problem admitting he would never use his writing to get laid. I can get laid anytime I want, and since I'm a horny, red-blooded male, that means I want it all the time, even right after I just got some, especially right after I just got some.
I find ways to better myself to be a more rounded person. Far from perfect, and realistically knowing that perfection is never the goal anyway, I challenge myself daily to be better in all aspects of my life. I do this because I want to, it's important to me. I could care less what anyone else thinks about me. I don't do it to be better than anyone else, I do it for me. I've learned the hard way that no matter how high you climb, there's always someone else above you, that it's a neverending race. As soon as you see that, competitive spirit is narrowed down to a laser point...the only person that matters is you. Your boss doesn't matter, his boss doesn't matter, no one else matters but yourself. And when you challenge yourself because you want to be a better person, then that's when you know you are doing it right.
When it comes to writing, I take it with the utmost seriousness. I've been doing it for a long time, and will always write. I don't care if I NEVER sell a novel, or another short-story, or even give a short-story away. None of that matters. I write because I have to write. It's really that simple. So when I read someone wanting to know if they ever used their writing to get laid, at first I think, Ha Ha, that's funny. But when you start coming off like a troll, making statements abouts men only wanting to better themselves for a nicer piece of ass, or to move up some invisible social ladder that doesn't exist anyway, then I wonder if you're actually serious about writing.
And hey, if I'm wrong about this, and it's all one big joke, call me out and I will apologize until the day I die. I can eat crow with the best of them.
But if I'm not wrong, and you're not serious about writing, then I really don't have much use for you.

Hey, Diceman, do you really live this lifestyle? I mean really live it? Do you read magazines like Cosmopolitan and Glamour and the like in order to learn about "what women want?" Do you regularly spend nights relaxed on the couch watching channels like Lifetime and Oxygen and the Oprah Network? Do you take notes, and then try and put into daily practice the new things you've learned? "Women don't like to be called bitches? I never knew!" "There's such thing as a female orgasm? Why have I never heard of this?"
I'm going to have to go ahead and look up some of your work, because I need to see how to write in order to get laid. First up, your work in Penthouse Magazine, that bastion of progressive feminist thought. I never thought of that before...Walk into a bar, find the girl with the physical qualities that Hollywood has told you are desirable, whether you agree or not, and drop this line on her: "Hey baby, my name is Eddie. I got a story published in a porno."
I have just realized that my life has been completely worthless all this time...

Everybody watch out now. This thread is about to turn into a gang-bang on Eddie, which Avery won't tolerate for long before she shuts down the thread and hurts everybody's feelings by being a mean censor-person. THEN someone who feels it's wrong to censor but is otherwise unassociated with this thread will post a separate thread about how wrong it is to censor anybody for anything ever, and THAT conversation will continue for approximately three years, with everybody yelling about how Avery is abusing her power while I, with the same basic authoritative capabilities, use my powers to post LOLCATS on everybody's posts. Or autoplay songs that make everybody look like assholes, bog down the thread, and generally annoy the piss out of everybody.
Since it's become popular in this thread to say, "I, of course, paragon of masculinity (and sensitivity) that I am, would never stoop to writing to get laid," I will say:
I write to get laid.

Sean OTD, there's no shame in being published in Penthouse magazine. In fact they've put out some great stories over the years. Have you ever sold a story to a magazine people actually buy on purpose? Has anyone ever paid you $2/word for your writing? Have you even been paid to write, or are you one of those guys who ljust ikes to write and nobody else cares?

You're right. It is called 'writing a check'.
Eddie - You're mostly right. People do things to improve their lives, and find/keeping mates is an important goal for most men. Lots of great authors have done lots of things people look down on. Problem is that when you write it the way you have people only read, "I hate you and everything you love."
The point everyone else is trying to make, I think, is you're acting a bit absurd. They have decided to use the Rush Limbaugh school of thought to show that, by being absurd. I'll just point it out and hope you'll relax. I get the attraction of the ultra cynic too cool to care thing, but really isn't working here. That tends to cause internet fights. Don't feel bad, early drafts always need some work, and lots of us could probably stand to chill out too. But internet fights are a lot like throwing sewage; everyone just gets covered in poo.

Dude, the AD Clay comment was years ago. The internet moved on. The thread has adapted all different avenues of attack and condescension, like labeling you "cynic chic" and not drawing a picture of an asshole (the not part of that being A-okay with me, because I am a totes prude) that was very slyly intended to represent you. It's, like, much more indirect now. This is more passive-aggressive kind of insulting, that we do because it's still designed to make you look bad, but without any of the passive-aggressors committing to their own rap too much.

It hurts my feelings, perhaps because you're not following the rules; perhaps because your very mean comment hits too close to home.

Writing Music has helped me get laid, But its hasn't help me hook up on litreactor yet :) Come ladies send me your erotic stories
What a quality topic.
@Gordon: Well, I haven't published a collection just yet...so you've still got time to make your blurb a reality. Just learn how to whisper in a gravely voice.
Paid + laid = plaid.
Plaid, aka "profesh".

"You're right. It is called 'writing a check'."
Fuck, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Internet collaboration FTW!
Actually, with 'writing a check' they won't be real virgins. They'll just stick a steak up their hoo ha's for bogus virginity.
Sex and a steak! Add a nipple beer tap and they can just have all my money now.
Cool. Now we're thinking business.
Just depends on who you write the check too.
I know Gaddafi could have done that, but now Gaddafi's allegedly dead.
He's dead. Bob Hope is allegedly dead.
As if Andrew Dice Clay is somehow an insult.
Anybody can do that.
Dude, the AD Clay comment was years ago. The internet moved on. The thread has adapted all different avenues of attack and condescension, like labeling you "cynic chic" and not drawing a picture of an asshole (the not part of that being A-okay with me, because I am a totes prude) that was very slyly intended to represent you. It's, like, much more indirect now. This is more passive-aggressive kind of insulting, that we do because it's still designed to make you look bad, but without any of the passive-aggressors committing to their own rap too much.
"Who, me? No, I wasn't being a jerk to him. I was trying to help him. I mean, not really; even though on other threads I get all preachy about dogpiles in internet conflict...well...I secretly like them."
Assless chaps: that is to say, guys who don't get laid?
Touche, JYH!
Touche, JYH!
Mr. Hopkins, that is not very fitting within our new paradigm of indirect belittlement and I, frankly, just resent it. It hurts my feelings, perhaps because you're not following the rules; perhaps because your very mean comment hits too close to home. Regardless, I'm inserting an invisible Kurt Vonnegut drawing of an asshole right here in your honor:
See it? See it up there? That could be you. But I won't say that it is, because that would be too confrontational.
Are we...are we fighting now?
Perhaps I, in my general enjoyment of mocking the dude that wants to write to get laid, closed my eyes to a community injustice. Should people be scolded?
