It's an ingroup/outgroup thing. Tact and convention is the whole point. Once they drop the tact and decorum they are now including you as part of their ingroup and not seeing you as an outsider. I didn't say they got into a cussing match. Just a shit or asshole dropped into the conversation is all it takes to realize that they are now including you in the group. It's no longer a formal interview and now just a conversation with their new employee who is now one of them.

But hey, in your world I guess people don't use profanity.

Ingroup/outgroup theory is very prominent in psychology. As someone with the username Superego I would think you would be familiar with it. Speaking of the Superego, maybe you should listen to your Id a little more:

The Super-ego works in contradiction to the id. The Super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant self-gratification. The Super-ego controls our sense of right and wrong and guilt. It helps us fit into society by getting us to act in socially acceptable ways

I sound 19? 36, multi-degreed white collar professional, who when single was very good at closing the deal when I had a date over, which was quite often. Sounds like you aren't too familiar with that process. Considering your reaction here you probably have that stick-of-appropriate-behavior so far up your ass the wimens don't give you the chance to even see the panties much less remove them.

Oh, this is where you jump in and say how you are some sort of lady's man who is not uptight and hung up on social convention. Good luck with that.

It's generally valid and I get your point. I've still never cursed during an interview, even when I was in love with the candidate and saw the rest of the interview(s) as a formality. We're clearly in very different lines of work--you a sales dude by any chance?

Why am I even surprised that you refer to yourself as a "professional"...? Regarding, "stick-of-appropriate" behavior, quite the contrary. I've been with a number of women myself but I don't generally give unsolicited accounts of my sex life. Wanna compare cocks next? I obviously don't need to explain why social conventions are different in social and work environments though, since you're a scholar and a professional... My comment was born less out of what you did (bagging lots of hot chicks) or how you did it than on how you spent paragraphs displaying your sexual prowess in several posts, which is generally not the way a 36-year old, married man even views his sexual history, let alone talks about it to a bunch of strangers. I don't actually disagree with the bulk of what you said regarding your approach to women. It just makes you look like an asshat when you say shit like "I knew her panties would be off before we finished it. Never failed." or brag about all the 'pussy' you got back in the day, and makes me think you might actually be Napoleon Dynamite. What does Freud have to say about bragging as it relates to one's sense of self, dude?

Like I said, pull the stick out of your ass, Superego, and try to have a good time. The rest of us are. Taking this stuff so seriously will give you a heart attack at an early age...

There's no stick, brother, just differing opinions. Let's hug it out. *extends arms*

They act aloof and unattainable because that's what the woman's handbook says they should do. But in reality they are more insecure than you and think about having sex just as often as you do, they just do it in a more subtle manner.

Grillin,
