Emphasis mine. He's talking specifically about sex, not exclusively about relationships.

I don't think you can conclusively argue that. For one thing, this statement indicates otherwise: "He actually says he declines the attention of women because he doesn't want the distraction."

Moffat said "declines the attention of women" not "declines sex".

I think that would indicate he doesn't want the distraction of a relationship, which is notoriously a lot of work. How would having sex be distracting? I would think it would be more distracting to live with sexual frustration, rather than having no-relationship sex once in a while.

If women were just trying to get him in bed once in a while, that wouldn't be significantly distracting. You can easily tell a FWB you're unavailable for sex. You can't easily tell a girlfriend you have no time for her whatsoever, sorry, there's a case.

[(Anonymous)]

So now your argument is reduced to semantic nitpicking (and "attention of women" is a perfectly understandable British euphemism for sexual relations, btw) and assumptions about a character you've said yourself you haven't even paid attention to based solely on how you'd feel about a certain thing ("well I'd imagine relationships were more distracting, therefore everyone must feel that relationships would be more distracting!") and even more blanket generalizations.

Okay then.

[blitzwing]

based solely on how you'd feel about a certain thing ("well I'd imagine relationships were more distracting, therefore everyone must feel that relationships would be more distracting!")

Nah, there's hard data out there on how much time people put into platonic, romantic and sexual relationships. Some studies even break it down really specifically by action ("on average women spend X amount of hours per week communicating with partners") etc.

[quirkytizzy]

Have you ever had one of those arguments where you took a position and halfway through you realized just how ridiculous it was, but you'd already invested all this time in the conversation to it, and you just kept having to find more and more pedantic shit to keep even a half-foothold with your argument, and you're getting more and more tired and exhausted but you just can't back off, so in your dizzy and exhausted state you just become more and more of an asshole trying to split hair after hair in your argument?

I think that's Blitz's thing.

[blitzwing]

I think that's Blitz's thing.

Nah, that's not my issue. The nonnies in the other post had it right: I'm an arrogant person who can easily fall into acting condescending and pompous. I've noticed several times on here people have mentioned that they think I am right, or they agree with me, but that I'm so smug in the way I state my arguments that it disgusts them.

[quirkytizzy]

Or that, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

No, people don't think you're right or a decent person.

You're the only one who thinks those things.

Your arguments, just like your abhorrently unpleasant personality, are deeply flawed.

[blitzwing]

No, people don't think you're right or a decent person.

Nice try anon. Unfortunately for you, the evidence is all over the place on this comm--I could link you to multiple comments where people have said variations of "you're right but your attitude is awful".

In other words, you've made an argument without providing any evidence to back it up, in an attempt to counter a statement that has plenty of evidence readily available in support of it.

[(Anonymous)]

And your evidence is... where? In a single quote you misinterpreted and based your whole argument upon.

[blitzwing]

And your evidence is... where? In a single quote you misinterpreted and based your whole argument upon.

Nope, the evidence is in almost every single conversation I've been in in the last week, someone has said something along those lines. Surely you've read those conversations, since you're speaking authoritatively about what people think about me, and what they have and have not said about me.

A sweet nonny like you wouldn't let a girl down by making silly baseless assumptions, would they?

[(Anonymous)]

Believe it or not, the whole world doesn't hang on your every word and reads your every comment. This is the only thread where you've been involved that I've read in a very long time. I tend to avoid your name like the plague. Actually no, scratch that, I think the plague would be more enjoyable than anything involving you.

Or do you think that only people who somehow have it in for you will argue with you?

[blitzwing]

This is the only thread where you've been involved that I've read in a very long time.

So you aren't familiar with the conversations I've had on here, or what people have said to me or about me. You were deliberately speaking authoritatively about something you knew nothing about, about situations you were not familiar with and had not observed.

I think that says it all.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

Living with sexual frustration really isn't all that distracting. Hell, for a lot of people, having a fuck buddy is way more distracting than just masturbating.

A lot of your argument centers around people talking about things they don't know a lot about. It's clear you don't know a lot about what it feels like to be sexual, so please don't make assumptions about it.

[blitzwing]

It's clear you don't know a lot about what it feels like to be sexual

And what makes you think that? Have we met in a crowded bar before, nonny?
