Michael Hasting Austopsy Report on TheSmokingGun.com
What Do you Think?
The smokinggun.com reports the autopsy of Michael Hasting. From the smokinggun.com: A toxicology screen revealed “a small amount of amphetamine” in Hastings’s blood, which was “consistent with possible intake of methamphetamine many hours before death." However, the amount detected was “unlikely to have an intoxicative effect at the time of the accident.” Additionally, “marijuana was present in the blood…indicating intake hours earlier.”
Also according to the story Hasting: While Hastings’s history was not known to include “suicide attempt/s or ideation/s,” his brother said that his sibling “believed he was ‘invincible,’ believing he could jump from a balcony and would be okay.” Hastings’s brother added that he “would not be surprised if any stimulants were found within the residence, including cocaine.”

Here is the full story Posted in http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/autopsy/michael-hastings-autopsy-867904
The family of journalist Michael Hastings was trying to get him into drug rehab at the time he died in a fiery Los Angeles car wreck, according to a coroner’s report released today.
Hastings, 33, was speeding when he “apparently lost control of his vehicle colliding with a tree head-on in a center grass median”
around 4:30 AM on June 18. “Death was rapid, within seconds” due the “massive blunt force trauma” endured by the writer.
The L.A. coroner’s report notes that Hastings’s family told investigators that they were attempting to get Hastings into detox since they thought he “had started to use drugs again in the past month or so.” Hastings was believed to have been sober “for about the past 14 years.”
A brother told a coroner’s investigator that he believed Hastings was “currently using DMT,” a hallucinogenic, and medicinal marijuana, which “was believed as prescribed for PTSD, as decedent was a war journalist, having had assignments in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in Baghdad a few years ago.”

Hastings’s brother also told investigators about a prior traffic accident during which the journalist “collided into a pole several years ago, believed as under the influence at the time, with report decedent had been misusing Ritalin.” Hastings, the coroner reported, “was ultimately institutionalized for rehabilitative care” around 1999.

Thor Lund "What I've Learned About Women" fame, has left the University Texas to follow his heart or find it. The Thor plans to pray, say the rosary nightly, write three books, run marathons, date women who can handle the self proclaimed wildcard certified manic. and so much more.
run vegan run
from Thor Lund's blog:
Tuesday, August 20, 2013
Day 12: Hold up wait a minute, y'all thought I was finished?
Before I turn on the "hilarious asshole" personality the Daily Texan (or perhaps I) created for me, let me say that I have left my personal sin city (Austin), I attend daily mass, I pray the rosary nightly, and I will be volunteering at the local food bank three times a week so that I can remember all the blessings I have in my life and that there are others not as fortunate as I am.
Anyway, without further ADO,
lots has happened since my last post. Although not a complete list, here are the highlights:
-My blog has been read by 40,000 people
-I am now a ""international talking point for feminism and male privilege", "an internet laughing stock", and an "international bad boy" as well as many other not nice names that people have given me.
-I've made* over $10,000
-I have multiple offers from websites to write weekly columns for them
-I have left Austin to travel the country and return to my roots and remember what it was that made me the nice boy I was when I arrived at college
-I am taking up piano again
-I have no car, and my phone access is very limited
-I now have two psychologists and a psychiatrist
-I know what I want to do with my life
-I have plans for three different books, despite how horrible everyone on the internet seems to think my writing and grammar is.
-I ran my first half-marathon
-I ran my first 20 mile run
-I am attending daily mass
-I have reconciled with lots of women who have hurt me in the past, because they actually still care about me despite my "hilariously sexist" blog post. Apparently making international headlines also means the girl you once loved will text you and ask what is wrong with you. I figured I had nothing left to lose so I was very honest with her. I told her everything I wanted to tell her many years ago. I told her my most burning questions about why she acted like she did. For once in my life I was 100% honest and open with how I felt about our relationship with both myself and her. To my surprise she actually responded very well. She told me she had no idea I felt that way. She told me what she thought about me when I was that age and what was going through her head. It was very eye opening. She is upset that instead of confronting her, I went crazy and blogged to the whole world about my inner pain. However, she is actually the perfect woman and said I can work on convincing her that somewhere deep down inside me that nerdy nice boy that she used to like still exists. I can not tell you how great it feels to let go of a pain and anger you have held on to for so many years of your life. If you hold a paperclip with your arm extended for thirty seconds it is no problem, but if you hold that paper clip in your extended arm for multiple years you are going to lose your arm because It will fall off from exhaustion. The same is true of your hurt, your envy, and the injustices you have felt. That is why we forgive. I finally had the courage to let her know how much she hurt me. For the first time I forgave myself. And it felt amazing.
*made is an interesting word because it is not technically in my bank account, but it has passed through me as an expense for something I am very passionate about
Many people have reached out to show their support and let me know to keep my head up. You have no idea how great that feels. I especially love the people who send their favorite scriptures for times of tribulation. It feels amazing to know that even when you screw up you have a very large handful of friends and family who (that? where are the grammar police when you need them?) will still support and love you.
Lots of people have also asked for me to do interviews. At this time I am declining all media requests, but in the coming weeks you can bet I will be back in the headlines. Houston Chronicle gets first dibs because the reporter is very nice and I like the way she reached out to me.
I am pretty tired of the whole thing, and judging from the views on my blog, more and more people are starting to care less about what a 22 year old college student thinks about women. However, I would like to address one group of people.
For all the people who claim I will never date again, joke is on you. Here is a news flash for all of you who don't get it. (This is a generalization, my personal opinion, and does not apply to every single woman on Earth) Most girls like guys who(that?) are a project. What do I mean by that? If a woman can turn the "international bad boy" in to a loving caring and nice nerd boy again she is going to feel on top of the world. Sorry ladies, not going to happen because I am a wildcard and a certified manic. You are more than welcome to try. However, I have standards now and you have to be vegan, pre or post med school, or a model if you want me to take any interest in you. If you don't like it, stop being a carnivore. Sorry, not sorry.
Also, lots of people are like "Thor, stay off social media, keep your mouth shut, stop gloating about your vegan life and running accomplishments." To which I say, "shhhhhh"
Find me some other people who went from never running to a 20 mile run in six days and I will shut my mouth. Until then, I am going to talk about it all day long. In fact, I am writing a book, it is called "Zero to Hero in Six Days: how to run 20 miles in less than a week if you never have run ever" Good news for all my readers, it is basically going to just be my blog in print version. So you saw it here first.
The 20 mile run was a little bit of a bitch, but a beautiful one, so I didn't mind. Here are the highlights:
Mile 5.35 - I stop to buy some of those energy gummies
Mile 5.85 - I barf all over the sidewalk, note to self, don't eat too many gummies
Mile 7.31 - I run through sprinklers and it feels amazing
mile 7.85 - My dad tells me I am going to hurt myself and to return home. I tell him okay even though I have no intention of doing that.
Mile 13.11 - I am about dead, so I run in the CVS and purchase a Gatorade. It is unbelievable how much it helps, I turn into a new human
Mile 15.23 - I realize that my phone is going to die before I complete the entire marathon, this makes me very angry
Mile 17.55 - I actually go crazy, I remember what Tony Robbins says about changing your state. I start yelling, like a crazy person. I am cursing every human that I have ever known, including myself, I am yelling at the manic in me. I used every combination of curse words you can think of. Surprisingly, no one calls the police. Not surprisingly, I turn up as they say. The pain in my knees and feet goes away and as you can see from the graph below, my speed goes from baby mode to beast mode.
Mile 18.40 - I am out of coconut water now also so I stop in another CVS and buy another Gatorade. This one doesn't help as much, but keeps me from dying.
Mile.18.85 I realize my phone is at 1%, I turn off spotify, pray to God that my feet don't fail me now, and that my phone makes it at least to 20 miles.
Mile 19.55 - Phone still alive, I start to sprint. I am not letting this stop before I get to 20 miles
Mile 20.01 - yay I made it, about to throw up because I was sprinting, I save the workout
Right after that I text "pick me up" to my brother and Dad, but before I can finish the text about where I am the phone dies. So now I have to walk four miles home. Those four miles were honestly worse than the whole 20 mile run. My feet actually don't work anymore, my legs are aching, and I am all out of fluids. I have to stop multiple times because I can barely walk. I make it home, take a bath and fall asleep. My body is in so much pain though, I wake up at 2:30 am.... now it is 5:00 am and I am still awake...
I can't complain though, I wake up for the first time in a long time in a state of joy. Not a false sense of security because I am president or girls come home with me. True joy, the joy of waking up knowing that God is guiding you, there is a plan for the life of your dreams, and you have forgiven yourself and all the people who have ever wronged you. I am not manic. I am vegan. I love life and I have never been more blessed to be on earth surrounded by the people that truly love me.

Thor Lund Let's Down 50,000 of his Best Friends
Saturday, August 17, 2013
Honestly I have no idea who the 10,000 people still reading my blog
are, but for those of you close to me, I want to let you know that I am
withdrawing from UT Austin for now. At this point I think it makes the
most sense to spend a little time away and figure out what direction I
want to take my life and who I really want to be. I can assure you that I
never have or will want to be referred to as an "international bad boy"
like one of the huffington post comments does. I would rather take
loser nerd with green pants any day of the week. I will continue
blogging in the coming weeks once I feel that I am in a place where I
care to share my thoughts and opinions with the public.
For
all of you who think this a joke, I want you to know that it no longer
is. For everyone who is commenting on the news articles. I get it, I
hurt a lot of people. You are now returning the favor.
I just hope you never have to know what it feels like to let down 50,000 of your best friends.

• that You know, as a girl, I really feel bad for him. I think we forget that men can have daddy/mommy issues too. I also want to point out that he's barely 22, why should this ruin his whole life? All of us, can we remember what we were like at 22? What stupid ideas and thoughts we had? I think we should let the whole thing blow over because, to me, there are more worrisome things in the world than one silly guy who will probably wisen up in the future.

◦
• Days of Broken Arrows Decades ago, people would have to bow and scrape when they insulted religion (i.e. John Lennon and Jesus). These days, feminism is the new religion and we need to bow to their holiness. Feminists are the new nuns, the Junior Anti-Sex League telling us what we can and can't say about sex, lest we get our knuckles rapped. Nothing in the original blog post was so bad but in Feministland it's "sinful!!!"
•
◦ sway Days of Broken Arrows Amen. You know who is in charge by knowing who you cannot criticize.
• James Wozniacki There's not much wrong he said. He's true. Society has been degarding, marriage is on a 50% failure rate. Also, hook up culture is rampant on university campuses. If he wants to make a proclamation, doesn't mean it's sexist. If women want to be treated equally and also in a manner that isn't befitting of a lady, then they should be open to criticism.

•
◦ Hi Thor peterike Hi Thor, nice to know despite the fact you hate the Daily Texan, you still read and bother to comment.
◦
• Peter Panther I am curious. The comments seem to be more or less unanimous that Thor is a horrible person. If that is so, why did so very many women copulate with him? Do women really really suck so very very much at recognising a horrible person? Or does horrible equal interesting equal sexy? I wonder how much shaming language will be heaped upon me for this, in fact, serious question.
•
◦ Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther Probably because they want to have sex, and only women are held responsible for selecting their sex partners for their moral character rather than the obvious: ease, access, and attraction. Do you imagine that women are generally unaware of the fact that a good chunk of bar scene men are morally reprehensible? It seems more likely that they just don't care: like Thor here, they're not in it for a lifetime of partnership, and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends.

▪ Peter Panther Elizabeth Stoker This is an interesting answer indeed. >ease, access, and attraction. I can imagine "ease". With a man who’s not an egomaniac a woman has to do more work, probably show some initiative and - shudder - even approach him herself. Easier of course to let yourself be f*cked by someone who routinely pumps and dumps women. I don’t give you "access". Non-horrible men are everywhere. It is just not as easy to get into interaction with them. (see above) I am fascinated by "attraction". So you think that the results of that study are valid which found that women are attracted to the Dark Triad? Do you understand the evolutionary consequence? There are so many assholes in the world because women fancy them. Being horrible is a success-strategy. All those in this comment thread who are eager to lynch Thor should digest this. There is no such thing as The Morally Superiour Woman to defend. >and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends. This is nice as well. It is A-OK to turn a bro into an entertaining tale. But telling entertaining tales about sis’ results in the mother of sh*tstorms, as seen on this page. Anyone for another slice of double standard?
▪
▪ Lol Peter Panther Wow, Elizabeth Stoker just owned you.
▪
▪ Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther 1.) When you watch porn on the internet, do you pick the videos by the ladies' personalities? No? Neither do women. By 'attraction', I mean sexual attraction -- the guy seems tall and preppy, which is cut enough, I'm sure, for some girls, just like it is for some men. 2.) 'Access' means 'sexual access'. This guy went around trying to sleep with people; people who were interested in sleeping together sort of gravitate to one another. I'm sure non-horrible men also have sex, so save your outrage. 3.) The idea that personality is purely heritable is silly. What an 'asshole' is is culturally dependent. Maybe there are so many people who don't understand evolution in the world because people who don't understand evolution keep breeding. :) 4.) Nobody cares when people share stories of individual experiences. This man was excoriating /all/ women. Anyone in for another slice of the false equivalency?

• Oregonian One good thing, in a later blog post, Thor states he's begun looking into male privilege, and that he's never considered what it would be like to be a woman. He's posted a few feminist links. At least he's begun thinking critically about some of his problematic opinions.
•

• TSchneider This Thor Lund guy needs to shut up. Like immediately. He needs a communication strategy at this point. Isn't there a crisis management resource handling this with him right now? He shouldn't open his mouth anymore, or else he risks leaking other insensitive information that could get him in serious trouble. All those follow-up posts, like the one where he mentions getting with a minor [16 year old] can now create major problems that wouldn't have existed otherwise. Working in the corporate world, I can tell you it will be very hard for him to break into any prestigious agency or firm, let alone any respectable law school. As of this morning, I have colleagues in Hong Kong, Sao Paulo and London who have somehow found out and already messaged me asking about this embarrassing situation, which affects the image of UT as a whole. The whole world is learning about Thor Lund now...they know. Sorry Lund, you have effectively and efficiently designed, painted and nailed your own career coffin. What were you thinking man?? Seriously. To all you students: social media may be fun, but it comes with a very heavy price today. This is especially so for anyone with big aspirations in business, law or politics. While in college, you should be working to continuously improve your professional image by adding value to yourself, not degrading others and closing down any future doors that could've opened for you. Key takeaway: think before you communicate, you ARE being observed [even by recruiters] long before you graduate - even if you don't know it..

You don't like that the US see's Texas men as little boys then stop embarrassing yourself on the world stage. Poor you. Yet another Texas male who can dish it out in all directions whether it be women, gays, blacks, muslims, Mexicans etc. yet then resorts to whining and complaining because they just can't take it themselves. Thanks for outing yourself.

▪ I like how he puts black and muslims in the same sentence as homosexuals as if the former wouldn't gladly beat the tar out of the latter. Texans are better people than a bleeding heart faggot like you could possibly be. Most of the groups they "dish it out" against are either deficient in intelligence, degenerate perverts or fickle minded versions of men with less physical strength.

How is this any different than saying that all Mexicans are lazy* or that all African-Americans love fried chicken**? Please stop with your accusatory generalizations (i.e. stereotypes). *This is totally untrue, they are some of the most hard-working individuals that I've ever worked with **Who doesn't love fried chicken?

• tl;dr people who can't read some solid points: grow up, this is satire, and it is meant to give a chuckle to the target audience which are males in the party lifestyle. This is a perfect example of satire, people. He's poking fun at us straight guys in college and how we all (my single, frat boy self included) attempt to get a girl to come back with us when we go downtown. I personally found the blog post as hilarious because I can identify with what he is saying. He is taking the college hook up partying lifestyle, stepping back, and writing a funny post about his experiences in it. This does not mean that he is a "sexist, homophobic pig." I, in fact, found zero sexism and homophobia within the article and 100% truth. What he is trying to do is show us the popular partying lifestyle in today's college atmosphere and make it look stupid while also being funny. Thor led the hook up life within the post, a life where the girls he hooks up with are usually looking for the same kind of freedom that he is. That isn't sexist. At all. It's the truth in this day and age. The post is from the views of a straight male, and thus being a straight male living in Austin, a very liberal city, there are transvestites at bars. He never talks bad about them, and instead gives the straight male reader advice to spot differences between a transvestite and a woman. Let's run through these 11 things you learned, and how you misinterpreted them: 1. The naked thing is definitely true. I talked while naked in bed to a girl for eight hours the day after I brought her home, and two days after meeting her and exchanging numbers. I got to know her on a true level, and I shared things that I would not share on a dinner date. I felt a true connection to her, and have been dating that same girl for six months now, all because we skipped that stupid "talking" phase and immediately went from a hookup to being together and being comfortable while doing so. 2. This is psychologically true. Females with daddy issues notoriously crave or despise male attention. One can only assume that males are the same way. Its part of our psyche. 3. The special people in my life are my family, girlfriend, and my close friends. Everyone else, I will look out for myself before I look out for them. The random girl I sit next to in my AmLit class is not special to me. She probably isn't special to you. 99% of this university (that's about 45,000 people for those counting) is not special to me personally. Thor's metaphor is simply just saying that being in love with the first girl you ever met (or the one that took that V-card) is really nothing special compared to anyone else in the world who you haven't met yet. He is simply saying to not tie yourself down as a male, and to explore your options in life, as the more girls that you date will lead you to find that special one, who is the one that you treat like a special girl. 4. People know him. He's simply saying that his name is recognized around our campus as it should be. If I met a guy named Thor, then I would definitely associate the name with the office. He also says that he never mentions that he's SG president, as it is a pretentious title that he doesn't want strangers to associate to his personality. The friend is the one who says he is SG president, trying to help his boy out in the getting laid department. 5. Most guys know that a girl decides whether she finds you attractive or not by your appearance and by the first words out of your mouth. Thor is using the metaphor by saying that it has been like this for as long as history can remember, thus it is ingrained within the female psyche. 6. Thor is a new college graduate, and he doesn't have his life together. Point me in the direction of a recent grad and future Law student who has their life together. Mothers will always be mothers. It's a job that you cannot quit or retire from. Mine reminds me of this daily when I do my hair wrong in the morning or if my teeth are not white enough. I love her with all of my heart though. She means the world to me and I do not know what I would be without the work that she put in to raise me. I, like Thor, respect all women in the sense that they are effectively what allows our population and the human race to continue to inhabit this Earth. Women are individuals as well, just as much as men, and can do anything a man can and vice versa, except for this part of human biology. Of course, there are fathers in all of that, but it is the mother who carries the child and takes care of it after birth. For that trait, women have always been loved and respected since the beginning of history. 7. Your comment is absurd. He's simply saying that the girls us men worship like Halle Berry or Kate Upton will eventually grow old, and skin and muscles sag thus reducing the physical attractiveness factor. Old men also sag, bald, and usually have other gross skin anomalies. Thor reminds us of this, and reminds us to marry our best friend who we will love and live life with before we die, because yolo. 8. If a man is willing to groom his hair, facial hair, back hair, finger nails, toe nails, and whatever other hair is on the body then their "you know what" is probably in a decent quality. Since many women don't grow facial hair or back hair, then the toes are the only clue. If the feet are in a disgusting condition, then they don't take very good care of their body. If there's even just nail polish on her toes, then she knows hygiene is important and her "you know what" is in good condition. 9. This is a metaphor for reversal of gender roles. Even the most beautiful girl in the bar will be taken aback by a comment like this. The bar scene is ruled by women. No one can deny it. A guy sees a hot girl at a bar, try to buy them a drink because he sees her as a catch, and then denied because she realizes that she is a catch and he is effectively a loser. If a group of girls are walking down the street, then a bouncer comes out to the street, leads them down the block, and the girls get free drinks at the bar. They can always flirt with a guy for a free drink as well. I know girls who go to bars, bringing zero cash, as they always get guys to pay for their drinks, rides if not taking the E-Bus, etc. By saying something like this, he puts himself in the controlling position instead of the girl. I find the line funny and I wish that I had the guts to even say that. 10. Satirical metaphor within the context. That is all. But really, who LOVES being the President of the United States. Many President's see it as their duty to their constituents that they must lead this country in one direction or the other. 11. Come on, really? Are you even in college? Are you sexually active? Obviously don't answer those questions, but there were those girls that I would text "DT?" before heading out because we had the understanding of a no strings attached sexual relationship. It wasn't anything that meant that I didn't respect them, I just used them as much as they used me. I'm sorry that you might be offended or disgusted by my former lifestyle, but it is one adopted by many students both male and female, both greek and gdi. From experience and talking to my lady friends, they also usually get annoyed when a guy tries to text her all of the time to turn a night of a drunken debauchery into a daytime friend. If a guy who did not have a sexual encounter with her texts her all of the time, then he's instantly friend zoned. That's not sexism. That's the truth. Pickup 101 people. Take this for what it is, satire. If you don't know what satire is, then I have no idea how you got into this university. If you need some common examples of satire: Saturday Night Live - especially the "Weekend Run" portion South Park - Hilariously funny for making fun of current events and social groups Daily Show with Jon Stewert Colbert Report - This a Daily Show are satires for the current events in the world The Office - satire of an office environment The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - satire of post-Civil War Animal Farm - Satire of the Russian Revolution All of these shows and books are great examples of satires that readily offend a person or a group. Many people see them as for what they are, comedy. I'm sorry if you're offended, but if you're offended by Thor's post then you are probably offended when someone farts two rows in front of you during a class. You're probably offended when Michael Scott makes a racist comment towards Stanley in The Office. I'm sorry that most people cannot see this, but I find his post hilarious and a great read. Good day, and thank you to all who read this. see more

• I do not know this guy personally and the rest of the world will most likely not. I am in disbelief that somebody who could write such a blog post was ever elected as SG President for UT (I did not vote for him). It is disappointing to know that the (once) President of my Alma Mater's SG thinks this way and that he feels comfortable to proudly share this publicly. I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect that such posts be curbed from display in publicly accessible places (as it is now cached forever!). This inevitably affects the image of our institution as well as those associated with it. Instead of tarnishing UT's name he should be augmenting it, or nothing at all, especially given his notable position. After having read his post it makes me less proud of being a graduate from UT then I did yesterday.

• YB 1. When a girl goes home with a guy, it's because some part of her trusts him. That's why she doesn't lie to him (and it happens to be in bed.) 2. He has issues. He's admitting his issues. Acceptance is the first step, good for him. People with issues attract each other? Maybe; I'm not a psychiatrist. Do girls with daddy issues have a stereotype of being easy or willing to do anything in bed…uhh yes, that's been around for about 50 years if not longer. He's not exactly breaking new ground here. 3. It is useful to have context, and I thought people would understand he's addressing young, horny college dudes that want to hook up. Finding a random hookup in a bar and instantly putting her on a hard-to-reach pedestal is dumb. Put the girl you truly connect with and love on a pedestal (also your mom, sisters, and wife), not any rando that looks like a fun lay. 4. He's not "special", he's just lucky that his friends can wing for him and he was SG president. 5. This IS completely accurate about evolution and natural selection. Every point he makes has been scientifically proven, not some BS from a Reddit post. 6. "Your mother is the single greatest person in your life." That doesn't…wait…that doesn't sound like bigotry. Also, "love your mother, and every other woman that will some day be a mother." 7. Right before this quote, he says "if you have managed to marry your best friend then you have won." Explanation: 1. guys like boobs and butts (no freaking s#!%.) 2. The older anyone gets, the more certain physical features deteriorate. Like the two above. 3. So it's good to marry someone you're friends with, not someone you only find physically attractive. 8. "The first thing a woman looks at on a man is his shoes." Sound familiar? 9. Advice to men to approach women with confidence, not acting scared and shy. This is psychology 101. In most lists of "What a Woman Looks for in a Guy", it's CONFIDENCE. 10. IT'S A FREAKING JOKE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. 11. Pick up advice: text them all the time and you get friend zoned. It's funny how generalizing this gets you a "sexist pig," but "all men are assholes" is totally commonplace. He found his method for getting laid (what most college guys want) and is just being honest about it. see more

Meanness is its own punishment, for the very moment he sat down to write this, he subjected himself to the media's and his peers' abuse. He will get nothing but shame for this and by us complaining about him we are just expanding his reach to those who never needed to hear his hurtful words. We are all entitled to our own opinion. and I believe that we should be able to say what we think on this. But just remember that by talking badly about this boy, that you are giving air and life to his hatred.

• So, he deleted the original post and replaced it with this "apology:" "I have deleted the post because it has cost me one of my very closest friendships. The most incredible woman I have ever met and who will some day be the first woman President is both ashamed and embarrassed by what I have wrote. It was never my intention to offend anyone, and I stand by the fact that you should always love and treat women with respect. They are the mothers of the future generation. There is no single greatest gift to life and the continuation of the human race than a mother's love. My heart aches over the loss of my friendship with this particular individual. She has done more for me in my times of most need than anyone I know. I am sorry I have offended and ashamed her and I will regret each and every day posting my satirical thoughts that cost that true genuine and loving relationship." Does he even realize why people are upset?

That's just what I heard from others in SG. Maybe he's oblivious but I doubt it. I heard things so often I'm sure he knows a lot of people don't like him, right?

I wonder how much shaming language will be heaped upon me for this, in fact, serious question.
•
◦ Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther Probably because they want to have sex, and only women are held responsible for selecting their sex partners for their moral character rather than the obvious: ease, access, and attraction. Do you imagine that women are generally unaware of the fact that a good chunk of bar scene men are morally reprehensible? It seems more likely that they just don't care: like Thor here, they're not in it for a lifetime of partnership, and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends.

▪ Peter Panther Elizabeth Stoker This is an interesting answer indeed. >ease, access, and attraction. I can imagine "ease". With a man who’s not an egomaniac a woman has to do more work, probably show some initiative and - shudder - even approach him herself. Easier of course to let yourself be f*cked by someone who routinely pumps and dumps women. I don’t give you "access". Non-horrible men are everywhere. It is just not as easy to get into interaction with them. (see above) I am fascinated by "attraction". So you think that the results of that study are valid which found that women are attracted to the Dark Triad? Do you understand the evolutionary consequence? There are so many assholes in the world because women fancy them. Being horrible is a success-strategy. All those in this comment thread who are eager to lynch Thor should digest this. There is no such thing as The Morally Superiour Woman to defend. >and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends. This is nice as well. It is A-OK to turn a bro into an entertaining tale. But telling entertaining tales about sis’ results in the mother of sh*tstorms, as seen on this page. Anyone for another slice of double standard?
▪
▪ Lol Peter Panther Wow, Elizabeth Stoker just owned you.
▪
▪ Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther 1.) When you watch porn on the internet, do you pick the videos by the ladies' personalities? No? Neither do women. By 'attraction', I mean sexual attraction -- the guy seems tall and preppy, which is cut enough, I'm sure, for some girls, just like it is for some men. 2.) 'Access' means 'sexual access'. This guy went around trying to sleep with people; people who were interested in sleeping together sort of gravitate to one another. I'm sure non-horrible men also have sex, so save your outrage. 3.) The idea that personality is purely heritable is silly. What an 'asshole' is is culturally dependent. Maybe there are so many people who don't understand evolution in the world because people who don't understand evolution keep breeding. :) 4.) Nobody cares when people share stories of individual experiences. This man was excoriating /all/ women. Anyone in for another slice of the false equivalency?

• Oregonian One good thing, in a later blog post, Thor states he's begun looking into male privilege, and that he's never considered what it would be like to be a woman. He's posted a few feminist links. At least he's begun thinking critically about some of his problematic opinions.
•

◦ Like a G-6 Oregonian He WAS thinking critically, but being desperate with his image on the line he's losing his balance and placating to the feminist raunch brigade...

• TSchneider This Thor Lund guy needs to shut up. Like immediately. He needs a communication strategy at this point. Isn't there a crisis management resource handling this with him right now? He shouldn't open his mouth anymore, or else he risks leaking other insensitive information that could get him in serious trouble. All those follow-up posts, like the one where he mentions getting with a minor [16 year old] can now create major problems that wouldn't have existed otherwise. Working in the corporate world, I can tell you it will be very hard for him to break into any prestigious agency or firm, let alone any respectable law school. As of this morning, I have colleagues in Hong Kong, Sao Paulo and London who have somehow found out and already messaged me asking about this embarrassing situation, which affects the image of UT as a whole. The whole world is learning about Thor Lund now...they know. Sorry Lund, you have effectively and efficiently designed, painted and nailed your own career coffin. What were you thinking man?? Seriously. To all you students: social media may be fun, but it comes with a very heavy price today. This is especially so for anyone with big aspirations in business, law or politics. While in college, you should be working to continuously improve your professional image by adding value to yourself, not degrading others and closing down any future doors that could've opened for you. Key takeaway: think before you communicate, you ARE being observed [even by recruiters] long before you graduate - even if you don't know it..

Texans are better people than a bleeding heart faggot like you could possibly be. Most of the groups they "dish it out" against are either deficient in intelligence, degenerate perverts or fickle minded versions of men with less physical strength.

How is this any different than saying that all Mexicans are lazy* or that all African-Americans love fried chicken**? Please stop with your accusatory generalizations (i.e. stereotypes). *This is totally untrue, they are some of the most hard-working individuals that I've ever worked with **Who doesn't love fried chicken?

• tl;dr people who can't read some solid points: grow up, this is satire, and it is meant to give a chuckle to the target audience which are males in the party lifestyle. This is a perfect example of satire, people. He's poking fun at us straight guys in college and how we all (my single, frat boy self included) attempt to get a girl to come back with us when we go downtown. I personally found the blog post as hilarious because I can identify with what he is saying. He is taking the college hook up partying lifestyle, stepping back, and writing a funny post about his experiences in it. This does not mean that he is a "sexist, homophobic pig." I, in fact, found zero sexism and homophobia within the article and 100% truth. What he is trying to do is show us the popular partying lifestyle in today's college atmosphere and make it look stupid while also being funny. Thor led the hook up life within the post, a life where the girls he hooks up with are usually looking for the same kind of freedom that he is. That isn't sexist. At all. It's the truth in this day and age. The post is from the views of a straight male, and thus being a straight male living in Austin, a very liberal city, there are transvestites at bars. He never talks bad about them, and instead gives the straight male reader advice to spot differences between a transvestite and a woman. Let's run through these 11 things you learned, and how you misinterpreted them: 1. The naked thing is definitely true. I talked while naked in bed to a girl for eight hours the day after I brought her home, and two days after meeting her and exchanging numbers. I got to know her on a true level, and I shared things that I would not share on a dinner date. I felt a true connection to her, and have been dating that same girl for six months now, all because we skipped that stupid "talking" phase and immediately went from a hookup to being together and being comfortable while doing so. 2. This is psychologically true. Females with daddy issues notoriously crave or despise male attention. One can only assume that males are the same way. Its part of our psyche. 3. The special people in my life are my family, girlfriend, and my close friends. Everyone else, I will look out for myself before I look out for them. The random girl I sit next to in my AmLit class is not special to me. She probably isn't special to you. 99% of this university (that's about 45,000 people for those counting) is not special to me personally. Thor's metaphor is simply just saying that being in love with the first girl you ever met (or the one that took that V-card) is really nothing special compared to anyone else in the world who you haven't met yet. He is simply saying to not tie yourself down as a male, and to explore your options in life, as the more girls that you date will lead you to find that special one, who is the one that you treat like a special girl. 4. People know him. He's simply saying that his name is recognized around our campus as it should be. If I met a guy named Thor, then I would definitely associate the name with the office. He also says that he never mentions that he's SG president, as it is a pretentious title that he doesn't want strangers to associate to his personality. The friend is the one who says he is SG president, trying to help his boy out in the getting laid department. 5. Most guys know that a girl decides whether she finds you attractive or not by your appearance and by the first words out of your mouth. Thor is using the metaphor by saying that it has been like this for as long as history can remember, thus it is ingrained within the female psyche. 6. Thor is a new college graduate, and he doesn't have his life together. Point me in the direction of a recent grad and future Law student who has their life together. Mothers will always be mothers. It's a job that you cannot quit or retire from. Mine reminds me of this daily when I do my hair wrong in the morning or if my teeth are not white enough. I love her with all of my heart though. She means the world to me and I do not know what I would be without the work that she put in to raise me. I, like Thor, respect all women in the sense that they are effectively what allows our population and the human race to continue to inhabit this Earth. Women are individuals as well, just as much as men, and can do anything a man can and vice versa, except for this part of human biology. Of course, there are fathers in all of that, but it is the mother who carries the child and takes care of it after birth. For that trait, women have always been loved and respected since the beginning of history. 7. Your comment is absurd. He's simply saying that the girls us men worship like Halle Berry or Kate Upton will eventually grow old, and skin and muscles sag thus reducing the physical attractiveness factor. Old men also sag, bald, and usually have other gross skin anomalies. Thor reminds us of this, and reminds us to marry our best friend who we will love and live life with before we die, because yolo. 8. If a man is willing to groom his hair, facial hair, back hair, finger nails, toe nails, and whatever other hair is on the body then their "you know what" is probably in a decent quality. Since many women don't grow facial hair or back hair, then the toes are the only clue. If the feet are in a disgusting condition, then they don't take very good care of their body. If there's even just nail polish on her toes, then she knows hygiene is important and her "you know what" is in good condition. 9. This is a metaphor for reversal of gender roles. Even the most beautiful girl in the bar will be taken aback by a comment like this. The bar scene is ruled by women. No one can deny it. A guy sees a hot girl at a bar, try to buy them a drink because he sees her as a catch, and then denied because she realizes that she is a catch and he is effectively a loser. If a group of girls are walking down the street, then a bouncer comes out to the street, leads them down the block, and the girls get free drinks at the bar. They can always flirt with a guy for a free drink as well. I know girls who go to bars, bringing zero cash, as they always get guys to pay for their drinks, rides if not taking the E-Bus, etc. By saying something like this, he puts himself in the controlling position instead of the girl. I find the line funny and I wish that I had the guts to even say that. 10. Satirical metaphor within the context. That is all. But really, who LOVES being the President of the United States. Many President's see it as their duty to their constituents that they must lead this country in one direction or the other. 11. Come on, really? Are you even in college? Are you sexually active? Obviously don't answer those questions, but there were those girls that I would text "DT?" before heading out because we had the understanding of a no strings attached sexual relationship. It wasn't anything that meant that I didn't respect them, I just used them as much as they used me. I'm sorry that you might be offended or disgusted by my former lifestyle, but it is one adopted by many students both male and female, both greek and gdi. From experience and talking to my lady friends, they also usually get annoyed when a guy tries to text her all of the time to turn a night of a drunken debauchery into a daytime friend. If a guy who did not have a sexual encounter with her texts her all of the time, then he's instantly friend zoned. That's not sexism. That's the truth. Pickup 101 people. Take this for what it is, satire. If you don't know what satire is, then I have no idea how you got into this university. If you need some common examples of satire: Saturday Night Live - especially the "Weekend Run" portion South Park - Hilariously funny for making fun of current events and social groups Daily Show with Jon Stewert Colbert Report - This a Daily Show are satires for the current events in the world The Office - satire of an office environment The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - satire of post-Civil War Animal Farm - Satire of the Russian Revolution All of these shows and books are great examples of satires that readily offend a person or a group. Many people see them as for what they are, comedy. I'm sorry if you're offended, but if you're offended by Thor's post then you are probably offended when someone farts two rows in front of you during a class. You're probably offended when Michael Scott makes a racist comment towards Stanley in The Office. I'm sorry that most people cannot see this, but I find his post hilarious and a great read. Good day, and thank you to all who read this. see more

• I do not know this guy personally and the rest of the world will most likely not. I am in disbelief that somebody who could write such a blog post was ever elected as SG President for UT (I did not vote for him). It is disappointing to know that the (once) President of my Alma Mater's SG thinks this way and that he feels comfortable to proudly share this publicly. I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect that such posts be curbed from display in publicly accessible places (as it is now cached forever!). This inevitably affects the image of our institution as well as those associated with it. Instead of tarnishing UT's name he should be augmenting it, or nothing at all, especially given his notable position. After having read his post it makes me less proud of being a graduate from UT then I did yesterday.

• YB 1. When a girl goes home with a guy, it's because some part of her trusts him. That's why she doesn't lie to him (and it happens to be in bed.) 2. He has issues. He's admitting his issues. Acceptance is the first step, good for him. People with issues attract each other? Maybe; I'm not a psychiatrist. Do girls with daddy issues have a stereotype of being easy or willing to do anything in bed…uhh yes, that's been around for about 50 years if not longer. He's not exactly breaking new ground here. 3. It is useful to have context, and I thought people would understand he's addressing young, horny college dudes that want to hook up. Finding a random hookup in a bar and instantly putting her on a hard-to-reach pedestal is dumb. Put the girl you truly connect with and love on a pedestal (also your mom, sisters, and wife), not any rando that looks like a fun lay. 4. He's not "special", he's just lucky that his friends can wing for him and he was SG president. 5. This IS completely accurate about evolution and natural selection. Every point he makes has been scientifically proven, not some BS from a Reddit post. 6. "Your mother is the single greatest person in your life." That doesn't…wait…that doesn't sound like bigotry. Also, "love your mother, and every other woman that will some day be a mother." 7. Right before this quote, he says "if you have managed to marry your best friend then you have won." Explanation: 1. guys like boobs and butts (no freaking s#!%.) 2. The older anyone gets, the more certain physical features deteriorate. Like the two above. 3. So it's good to marry someone you're friends with, not someone you only find physically attractive. 8. "The first thing a woman looks at on a man is his shoes." Sound familiar? 9. Advice to men to approach women with confidence, not acting scared and shy. This is psychology 101. In most lists of "What a Woman Looks for in a Guy", it's CONFIDENCE. 10. IT'S A FREAKING JOKE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. 11. Pick up advice: text them all the time and you get friend zoned. It's funny how generalizing this gets you a "sexist pig," but "all men are assholes" is totally commonplace. He found his method for getting laid (what most college guys want) and is just being honest about it. see more

Meanness is its own punishment, for the very moment he sat down to write this, he subjected himself to the media's and his peers' abuse. He will get nothing but shame for this and by us complaining about him we are just expanding his reach to those who never needed to hear his hurtful words. We are all entitled to our own opinion. and I believe that we should be able to say what we think on this. But just remember that by talking badly about this boy, that you are giving air and life to his hatred.

The most incredible woman I have ever met and who will some day be the first woman President is both ashamed and embarrassed by what I have wrote. It was never my intention to offend anyone, and I stand by the fact that you should always love and treat women with respect. They are the mothers of the future generation. There is no single greatest gift to life and the continuation of the human race than a mother's love. My heart aches over the loss of my friendship with this particular individual. She has done more for me in my times of most need than anyone I know. I am sorry I have offended and ashamed her and I will regret each and every day posting my satirical thoughts that cost that true genuine and loving relationship."

▪ I agree, definitely some mental instability, especially this paragraph: "I am tired of being a party boy. I am tired of being an example of a good boy gone crazy. Every single one of my friends besides my roommate thinks I am off the rails. Thank God he believes in me, because he is the only one. My mom asked me three days ago if she needed to call my psychologist and ask what is wrong with me. I'm not cool, I'm a dumb ass." http://thorlund724.blogspot.co...

▪ This is an admittance to the fact that he lived his life like a party boy, but wants to change. This is after the fact that he has received death threats from across the world. The post was a satire of the party life and how silly it really is
▪
▪ Broseidon Ralph I think the stick is too far up your ass to realize what satire is.
▪
▪
▪
▪ Broseidon Ralph Which other blog posts were you referring to? The one where he talks about veganism? "God blessed me with a body that turns ice cream and pizza to muscle." OR the post where he talks about his day? "3:00 Drive to the Student Government office, its locked. Put a scoop of protein in my mouth and wash it down at the drinking fountain because I have no cups and no home."

▪ Oregonian Broseidon My favorite was the picture of the overweight woman saying something along the lines of "Somewhere inside this carnivore is a beautiful woman."
▪
▪ Luna Broseidon How about the blog he posted today on Body Shamming. And he openly objectifies a woman, he is friends with, on his blog talking about her body and putting a picture of her back side.
▪

▪
▪ ar Ralph So...? You don't have to be his girlfriend. Even if he has these issues, at least the whole world knows about it and women who deal with him will know what they are getting into. Blogs are outlets, I really don't think you can judge someone based on a blog post.

▪ Ralph ar Thank god. I wrote this sweet blog post on how much I love spitting on people's children in the park, and I was worried people would judge me for it! All I wanted was an outlet to discuss my hobbies, and now I feel comfortable knowing that anything I put on a blog linked to my name is free from judgement.

Responses to Thor Lund's What I've Learned About Women Post and Controversy
The long and controversial post of Thor Lund, University of Texas
former student body president has caused quite a stir. Thor has shared
his thoughts in the most unforgiving place in the universe, the
internet. Seems like the world is being rough on the Thor. When it is all over what have we learned? We look forward to thoughts from the Thor.
Some have reacted to the post in a not so positive way. here is the title of the Austinist piece on the Thor piece "Former UT Student Body President and Current Douchbag Mansplains All Women"
not much love there. but i do love "Mansplains".
Have a read make up your own mind then read the responses.

What I've learned about Women
women
Before we get started let's get one thing straight. If you do not love women, stop reading. Seriously, close the web page and don't even waste your time. If you are reading this because you want to learn some new pick up lines, or want to get girls to brag to your bros about, or even just want sexual pleasure then stop. Go eat a dick and gargle some balls. Then never reproduce, because you are the kind of person that turns in to a shitty father and ruins America for everyone else. Honestly, to continue reading you must proclaim out loud "I sincerely and absolutely love women with all my heart. Every single one of them, even the fat ones, not just Beyonce and Halle Berry." Then say out loud "Do I love all women?" if yes, keep reading. If no, then stop. Maybe means no as well, and no means no, and while we are on that subject lets talk about it. No always mean no. If a woman says those two letters together, you stop whatever it is you are doing, thank her for letting you spend time with her, and leave. Don't even look at her one more second. She said no, she means it, get the fuck out.
Okay, so the people who love women are still with us. I love women, a lot. I love when they look at me, talk to me, and laugh at me. I used to think it was because I just loved them and I, like every other male in the whole entire world is motivated by their attention. Seriously think about it, did Bill Clinton become President because he wanted the world's most stressful job? No he did it because he wanted to get head in the oval office. Every single thing that has ever happened is because of a woman. Wars are fought over them, songs are written for them, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Michael Jordan would not be the greatest NBA player in history if it wasn't because he loved women. They are all of life's motivation. They create life, they care for the young, and you better believe that your mother is the single greatest person in your life, because she carried your lazy ass for nine months inside of her! You started out so helpless that she literally had to give you her breast milk! So, love your mother, and every other woman that will some day be a mother.
As time has gone on and I have talked to my friends who are intellectual I have found that there is actually a deep inner pain within myself that causes me to love women and their attention so much. That inner pain is that I have mommy issues. Ever since my brothers and sisters were born, it has been mostly "wow triplets! that is the coolest thing ever!" Thank God I was named Thor and I sometimes get a "oh thats a cool name" because if I was named Clark, I would have serious problems. In all honesty though, I have a deep subconscious longing for attention from females. I think this is because in my mind there is nothing I can do that will ever fully make my mother proud of me. Why did I go to UT and major in engineering? My mom said it would be wise. Why did I run for student body president? My mom would be proud. Why am I trying to become a millionaire? So my mom will admit that I am not the worst financial planner in the world and so I can send her on vacation and she can say "I am proud of you." The single greatest feeling in the whole world is making your mother proud, and thats why my entire commencement speech was centered around my mother and her infinite wisdom. But the point of all this rambling is that there is a deep inner reason for my love of attention and self-centeredness. I don't like everyone looking at me because I think I am cool, I like everyone looking at me because subconsciously I don't get enough approval from my mother. I know she is proud of me and she loves me, but honestly I could be President of the United States and somehow I would still find a way to upset her. This past weekend she told me not to talk too much at dinner because I take over conversations and ruin every one else's time. When I left my house four hours ago, I had put her in a bad mood because she had to pay $400 to keep me from getting arrested because I had two outstanding speeding tickets and missed both court dates. So in conclusion, I love my mom, she is proud of me, but whatever it is that causes me to screw up so much is the reason I crave attention. And I satisfy that need by sending out as much love as I can to the girls around me.
Now these mommy issues don't come without consequences. I talk too much, I usually only want to talk about myself and what I am doing, and I attract girls with daddy issues. I'm not going to fight any of those things, I'm going to live with them and use them to my advantage. I talk too much, but I've learned to make it interesting, I only want to talk about myself but I have learned how to include others in conversation and what I am doing, and I find the girls with daddy issues and for a couple hours give them the attention that their father never did. They take out their pent up issues on me in a number of different ways, mostly sexual, and then when I don't text them enough they call me a pompous asshole, but at least we had a fun while it lasted.
Alright so enough about me, lets dive into women as a whole. They are complex and beautiful creatures. They bring life and they take life. They will make you feel like the most amazing person in the world, and then they will rip your heart out and make you cry. Thats the cycle of life. It goes up and down. The same goes for women, they go up and down, and they make you happy and sad. Even when you find the one you want to spend your entire life with and create a family with, you are still going to fight and cry and hate each other sometimes. But at the end of the day, if you have managed to marry your best friend then you have won. Because unless you are vegan, you aren't going to stay young and beautiful forever. Some day those perky breasts are going to sag below the belt line, and that toned ass is going to be all wrinkly and disgusting. At that point its not about the sexual attraction, its about the emotional attachment and waking up every day knowing that you are at least going to laugh and have a good time once more before you fall over and die.
Th thing I love most about women and trying to convince them to kiss me is that at the core of it, if you can get a girl over to your place and somehow manage to have her take her clothes off, she will be truthful with you. It is hard to lie to someone who is lying naked next to you. Girls are lying all day long. They lie about their feelings, their weight, how much cardio they did, and what they think of their best friends oversized purse. But at the end of the day, when I get a girl back to my place, she will tell the truth about what she wants to do when she grows up, what her family is like, what her city is like, and why she has that stupid oversized purse. At the end of the day that builds trust and that builds relationships. That is what you want, you don't want some story to tell your homeboys about. You want a real beautiful and complex female counterpart to trust you and think of you as their friend. That is why even though half the girls I've been with hate my guts and think I'm a sleazy asshole, they still talk to me when I call them, they still laugh at my jokes, and they still remember the brief time we shared, even if it was only thirty seconds before I barfed all over them. I bet even the most psycho chick I ever was with, who plotted to denounce me in front of the student government assembly, still remembers the time we watched shawshank redemption together and then I took her for crepes the next day. If you are reading this I know you remember those crepes! and then you made fun of me because I was petting all the dogs in the food truck park, but for at least a couple hours you enjoyed life and even though I never did buy you that sandwich you wanted, some day you will tell your kids "I dated the U.S President when he was 21." …. just kidding i'm not running for U.S. President, and we were not dating! If one more person calls you my ex-girlfriend I'm going to pull my hair out.
So without further adieu, here are my rules for women…
1. "When you realize women make absolutely no sense, it all makes sense." - Thor Ericson Lund
Women are counterintuitive. That is on purpose. If you could logically attract a woman, then all the engineers would win and our society would be wimpy, socially awkward, and have no clue how to match their socks with their outfit. Instead women have evolved our millions of years to be able to pick out the snakes from the lovers and protectors. Eve was pretty crappy at distinguishing the two. She ate from the snake's hand. Humanity suffered as a result, but we have evolved and now women can smell snakes from a mile away. If you are trying to sleep with a woman, she knows. How? Because your eyes are wide, you are drooling, and staring right down her shirt. There are only three places you should ever look at a woman. The first is her eyes, because you can tell if she is interested in you or not with the eyes. The second is her neck because it is the most sensitive part of her body and you want to check for an adams apple. If she has one of those, she is most likely a man so you should avoid trying to sleep with her/him. The third and most important place you can look at a woman is her toes. Why? Because the toes tell all. If her feet are pretty and her nails are painted then you can assume the rest of her body is well groomed and cleaned. If she has gross feet, then chances are she has gross you know what and you will want to avoid that at all costs. If you can't see her toes, go to the hands. You may touch them if the opportunity presents itself (seriously though, if I find out any of you did that stupid pick up artist palm reading bullshit I will be so mad, that stuff is for lame old guys who can't get normal girls), if her hands are smooth and soft, then that is a good sign. If they are manly, check the neck for an adams apple. If they are sweaty, then she is probably nervous which could work in your favor, if they are calm and non sweaty then she is a winner and she probably knows what she is doing so turn your A-game on. In all seriousness, don't look at a woman's chest or ass. She knows, her boyfriend knows, and every other girl in the bar is watching you check her out and saying to herself "That guy is sleazy and I don't want to sleep with him." So focus on the eyes, they tell the whole story anyway. Don't even dare go down to the lips, you will start drooling, its inevitable. We men are like dogs, we can't not drool when that dinner bell is ringing. So don't tempt yourself, stay on the eyes.
There is good news from all this as well. Women can also spot a real man from a mile away. How does she know? He carries himself with unshakeable confidence, he is nonchalant and relaxed. He makes sure everyone else has a good time, he is treating the women he is with like actual human beings and not pieces of meat, he is a little cocky but not douchey, and you can damn well bet he is making people laugh. If you can get a woman to laugh at something (not self depricating though) you are like 75% of the way there.
But why is it like this? Why do women have to be so confusing? The answer is science, or something like that. Attraction is a not a choice, women don't sit around before they go out and say "hmmm well I think tonight I am going to hook up with Joe because he is smart and nice and I like his brown hair." No, in less than a second a woman is either attracted to someone or she isn't. The reason it is this way is because back in the day when we were hunting and gathering with our fellow neanderthals, women had to develop an acute sense of what type of man she met. She couldn't sit around and ponder the pros and cons of each caveman she came in contact with. She had to know in a snap instant whether this guy was going to love her and leave her or whether he was going to get her pregnant and stick around to protect and feed the tribe. We don't protect or feed the tribe like our ancestors did way back in the early days of humanity, but the evolutionary subconscious attraction switch still turns on or off just like it did when we were chasing wooly mammoth.
So the best way to think about women and how to get them to be attracted to you is to do the exact opposite of what you think. If you really like her, tell her you can't stand her. If you think she is pretty, make fun of her oversized purse and ask her if she keeps a parachute inside it. If she is the nicest girl you've ever met, tell her that you don't like it that she is so mean to young children. Seriously its so simple, do the opposite. Every other frat guy out there is going to say "you are so pretty, can I buy you a drink?" he just got friend zoned because he is like everyone else, and he asked for her permission. Instead walk up to a girl and say "hey you seem like no one will be your friend, so I'll let you buy thirty seconds of my time. I'll take a whiskey coke." She is going to be so confused because you aren't needy and asking for her permission. Instead you are assuming she is going to buy you a drink because you are in fact the catch, and she is just some loser. Seriously, try that line out. It will work. How do I know? That's how I get drunk without taking any money downtown. The only time I buy a woman a drink is if it is a whole group of them, or she is with a couple guys that I want to befriend. Even then I usually don't buy her one. Needy guy will say "oh I bought you this super expensive vegas bomb because you are so hot, please talk to me." I say "Yeah I got all your friends a drink, but I didn't get you one because you are frowning too much." Her mind is literally blown because she thinks she is the center of the universe and I just told her she wasn't. The rest of the night she is trying to prove herself, I am continually reminding her that she isn't that cool and that it will never work out between us. She then tries to prove me wrong by getting me to bring her home. She proves me wrong again by getting me to kiss her, but in reality I am the winner because I have just used reverse psychology on her the entire night, made a game of it, and gotten really drunk for free.
2. Your only goal is to have fun
I never go out thinking about who I am going to hook up with or which girl I want to see. I only have one thought. That is, "How can I have the most fun possible?" Seriously, if you make it your number one goal every time to go out and have as much fun as you possibly can you will attract too many girls and they will come home with you effortlessly. Why? Because that is what everyone wants. Fun! That is why we are in college, not to learn (just kidding), it is to have fun. Why do people love animal house? Why do they love getting drunk and waking up in a ditch? Why do girls go to dirty 6th on their 21st and jump up on a bar with their ass hanging out and take a tequila shot out of a dildo? Because it is fun!!
3. Stop trying
If you are trying to hook up with a girl, then you lose and you won't do it. Girls only come effortlessly. There is no winning them. Do you think Ryan Gossling planned out a great way to swoon whoever that chick was in the notebook? No, he jumped on the carnival ride and acted like a dummy, and then I think rode around in a boat in the rain and then ran towards her in slow motion, picked her up, swung her around, and did her in a dirty barn. That wasn't meticulously calculated! That was all spontaneous, and he wasn't trying at all. When you start treating one girl like she is special you will lose her. Women are special as a whole, but individually they are not, except for your sisters and mom and wife. Those ones are special. But regular girls at college and the bars, they aren't special. Newsflash for everyone who is so in love with the first girl they met. I can find one hundred million girls that look just like her but speak two languages. They live in Europe and they can cook way better than your so called perfect woman. Even I forget this sometimes. This is how I lost my second real girlfriend, and how I creeped out a beautiful young charming woman just last month. The first was my second real girlfriend, I treated her like she was the only woman in the whole world that mattered, she was so special that I didn't care that she was hooking up with other guys, or that I had become her bitch and I did all sorts of manual labor during the day for her so that she could go out at night and sleep with whoever she met on sixth. It sucked, but I learned a lot. Now I'm the guy hooking up with the girlfriend. Not my fault, I tried to be a nice boy, it doesn't work. Girls hate nice clingy boys who do everything they want. It doesn't make sense but that is how it is. Okay so I still haven't learned. I met a girl just this summer. She is incredible, definite girlfriend material. She is smart, ambitious, religious, comes from a very good family, she is innocent, she laughs at my joke, she has the body of a goddess, and she has a boat!! But I tried too hard to get her. I flirted too hard, I tried to hang out with her too much and she got creeped out and told me to stay away. It sucks because we would've had a great relationship, but the point is that because I treated her special and wanted to spend time with her, she told me I suck and now I spend zero time with her. Moral of the story: Stop trying to get girls and you will get plenty.
Okay thats it. If you can follow those three simple rules you will be amazed at what will happen. When I was a freshmen I didn't get it. I thought logically girls should like me because I was ambitious, smart, and nice to them. Nope that is the recipe for clingy weirdo. Back then I couldn't buy a girlfriend. Now I have three, and they are all 9s or 10s. Okay they aren't my girlfriends, but I am dating them, sort of. Is that so horrible? No it isn't because each of them also have other boys they are hooking up with and I'm pretty sure one of them has a boyfriend. They all know that I am seeing multiple people and if they don't like it they will stop texting me. That is the name of the game. Have as many girls as you want as long as they are cool with it. Don't lie to them. I tell all of them up front that they aren't the only one and that if they don't like that then we will stop seeing each other. Lots of them leave at that point, but some stick around because they are like female versions of me and they appreciate the honesty and also appreciate dating multiple people at the same time. Some day I will find someone who is worth it and I will give up the other girls. But right now, they are each unique, I love them all, and when they are with me they have my undivided attention and affection.
Game
I'm sure everyone has at least heard of that pick up artist show. That is stupid, don't listen to those guys. You are going to get exactly zero girls by doing magic tricks and telling fake made up stories. I rely on basically one or two lines when I go out and they usually work. If you think they are stupid and will never work, that is fine. But I have 25+ female witnesses who can attest to the fact that I convinced them I was a cool guy, if even only for a long enough amount of time to make out with her before barfing all over blind pig. That actually happened, I started kissing her, then I barfed on her and got escorted out the back. It is really awkward when I see her around now.
The world's greatest pick up line is this:
"Hi"
followed by
"What is your name?"
you respond with
"My name is…."
now you are talking to a girl that you previously did not even know. Congratulations you have beat out half the guys in the bar already. Now just don't screw it up. Do that by choosing from the following list of questions:
"Where are you from?"
"What is your major?"
"What is it like growing up in…."
"Are you in a sorority or spirit group?"
"Who do you know here?"
"What grade are you in?"
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"What do you think of the new Beyonce song?"
"Describe your perfect man."
"Do you like technology?"
Notice all of these questions are open ended except the last one. That is because it gives her a chance to talk while you try not to barf. To be honest, I usually only make it to like the second one before I'm not paying attention to what she is saying and by question three I have transitioned to "Are you trying to get out of here?"
That last question about technology is actually gold. She will try to talk about technology and what her favorite is, but don't let her. Tell her it is just a yes or no question. Regardless of what she says, just slowly now your head, look at her with a slight grin, and say "I figured you would say that." It will actually drive her crazy. Then proceed to change the subject or ask her if she is trying to leave.
Here are things you NEVER say to a girl when you are talking to her.
"I'm the *insert some position* in *insert some organization."
"You have a nice ass"
"you are pretty/beautiful/cool/different/unique"
"can I touch it?"
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Want to see my car?"
"Want to see a picture of my dog?"
"I have a boat."
any story that starts with "So this one time…"
"will you come back with me?"
"can i kiss you"
"i want to kiss you"
"your lips look so kissable"
"want to come back to my place?"
"can i take you out for dinner sometime?"
What do all of these have in common? They are what drunk frat boys say, they are needy and permission seeking, and they show that you are trying to prove your self worth.
I'm lucky in that all I have to do is say "My name is Thor" and she usually recognizes that I was SG President, and if she doesn't one of my friends will be a good wingman and jump in and be like "Don't you know Thor? He was the president."
I don't like to use the president card because it is a crutch and it takes the fun out of talking to girls, but honestly I am usually ready to leave if I have resorted to leaving my drunk guy friends to talk to a girl one on one. Two weeks ago I had the most fun I've ever had getting a girl to kiss me. The reason was because I met her outside of a bar scene, she had no idea who I was or if I had any social status, and I literally had to convince her I was cool all through game. It was a rush, it was exciting, and a hundred times more pleasurable then getting a drunk girl with daddy issues to kiss me at abels. I actually told the girl I was gay but experimenting, and for whatever reason she couldn't tell if I was lying or not. Then I made fun of her for being a lot younger than me and telling her she had so much to look forward to in the coming years. It worked, I won, and then got chased out of the lake house by her boyfriend who was trying to kill me…. but thats a whole different blog post I could write about another time.
You don't have to be the President though, just come up with something. Even if you are "Larry the guy with green pants" girls will want to hook up with you. They may think you are uglier than an ape, but they can go home and tell all their friends that they hooked up with "Larry the green pants guy" and all their friends will laugh and be like "oh i saw him barf on another girl at blind pig once, he is really funny though." If you can't tell, when I am not Thor the president, I am Larry the green pants guy that sometimes gets too drunk and barfs on adpi's.
The final piece of advice I have for talking to girls is to confuse them. Honestly they deserve it, they have perplexed men since the beginning of time when they tricked us to eat the devil's food in the garden of eden. Give them a taste of their own medicine. If you can confuse their brain, then they will go home with you. Again, I don't know why and it doesn't make sense but it just does. I have blogged a list of text messages where I have said things that literally make no sense to me, but have prompted a favorable response from the female I was texting. Oh and while we are on it, DON'T TEXT GIRLS! They don't care what you are doing, and they don't want you to ask them about their day. Seriously, they have girlfriends for all that. You don't really care, you just want to sleep with them. I only text girls that I hook up with two things "DT?" or "coming over tonight?" Thats it. I don't want to know what they had for lunch or what they thought about the Justin Bieber movie, that is the nice clingy guys job to find all that out. I just want to know if she is going to spend the night, or if I need to text someone else for that.
In conclusion, women are the best. You should love them and treat them with respect. Do the opposite of what they want, unless they say no. Always do what they say when they say no! I am by no means a master of any of this. I strike out twice as much as I succeed. In the next post are some of my biggest failures, they are funny, and I actually suck with girls, I have just managed to find a couple things that work and keep swinging even after I strike out over and over again. Sometimes I worry that I am callous to love and emotion because I will block a girl after she leaves my apartment because I never want to hear from her again, and I can't even remember her name. So then I have to block like four girls with the name that I think it could be. But…. some day I will love someone, and make her my wife, and have children and settle down. I thought I found her twice, but turns out I didn't because one is in Costa Rica, and the other doesn't love me back for whatever reason, actually she has plenty of reason. She knows I'm actually an engineering nerd that was lucky to get with her in the first place with my nerd socks, cargo pants, and shrunk crop top shirts that I dried too hot in the dryer.
Also read the following two books, they are very eye-opening. Just google free pdf and then the title and you should be able to find them. They are each a couple hundred pages long but you will learn lots.

What I've learned about Women
I have deleted the post because it has cost me one of my very closest
friendships. The most incredible woman I have ever met and who will some
day be the first woman President is both ashamed and embarrassed by
what I have wrote. It was never my intention to offend anyone, and I
stand by the fact that you should always love and treat women with
respect. They are the mothers (or not if that is what they choose) of
the future generation. There is no single greatest gift to life and the
continuation of the human race than a mother's love. My heart aches over
the loss of my friendship with this particular individual. She has done
more for me in my times of most need than anyone I know. I am sorry I
have offended and ashamed her and I will regret each and every day
posting my tongue-in-cheek thoughts that cost a true genuine and loving
relationship.
Peace. Go vegan.

What I've learned about Women
women
Before we get started let's get one thing straight. If you do not love women, stop reading. Seriously, close the web page and don't even waste your time. If you are reading this because you want to learn some new pick up lines, or want to get girls to brag to your bros about, or even just want sexual pleasure then stop. Go eat a dick and gargle some balls. Then never reproduce, because you are the kind of person that turns in to a shitty father and ruins America for everyone else. Honestly, to continue reading you must proclaim out loud "I sincerely and absolutely love women with all my heart. Every single one of them, even the fat ones, not just Beyonce and Halle Berry." Then say out loud "Do I love all women?" if yes, keep reading. If no, then stop. Maybe means no as well, and no means no, and while we are on that subject lets talk about it. No always mean no. If a woman says those two letters together, you stop whatever it is you are doing, thank her for letting you spend time with her, and leave. Don't even look at her one more second. She said no, she means it, get the fuck out.
Okay, so the people who love women are still with us. I love women, a lot. I love when they look at me, talk to me, and laugh at me. I used to think it was because I just loved them and I, like every other male in the whole entire world is motivated by their attention. Seriously think about it, did Bill Clinton become President because he wanted the world's most stressful job? No he did it because he wanted to get head in the oval office. Every single thing that has ever happened is because of a woman. Wars are fought over them, songs are written for them, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Michael Jordan would not be the greatest NBA player in history if it wasn't because he loved women. They are all of life's motivation. They create life, they care for the young, and you better believe that your mother is the single greatest person in your life, because she carried your lazy ass for nine months inside of her! You started out so helpless that she literally had to give you her breast milk! So, love your mother, and every other woman that will some day be a mother.
As time has gone on and I have talked to my friends who are intellectual I have found that there is actually a deep inner pain within myself that causes me to love women and their attention so much. That inner pain is that I have mommy issues. Ever since my brothers and sisters were born, it has been mostly "wow triplets! that is the coolest thing ever!" Thank God I was named Thor and I sometimes get a "oh thats a cool name" because if I was named Clark, I would have serious problems. In all honesty though, I have a deep subconscious longing for attention from females. I think this is because in my mind there is nothing I can do that will ever fully make my mother proud of me. Why did I go to UT and major in engineering? My mom said it would be wise. Why did I run for student body president? My mom would be proud. Why am I trying to become a millionaire? So my mom will admit that I am not the worst financial planner in the world and so I can send her on vacation and she can say "I am proud of you." The single greatest feeling in the whole world is making your mother proud, and thats why my entire commencement speech was centered around my mother and her infinite wisdom. But the point of all this rambling is that there is a deep inner reason for my love of attention and self-centeredness. I don't like everyone looking at me because I think I am cool, I like everyone looking at me because subconsciously I don't get enough approval from my mother. I know she is proud of me and she loves me, but honestly I could be President of the United States and somehow I would still find a way to upset her. This past weekend she told me not to talk too much at dinner because I take over conversations and ruin every one else's time. When I left my house four hours ago, I had put her in a bad mood because she had to pay $400 to keep me from getting arrested because I had two outstanding speeding tickets and missed both court dates. So in conclusion, I love my mom, she is proud of me, but whatever it is that causes me to screw up so much is the reason I crave attention. And I satisfy that need by sending out as much love as I can to the girls around me.
Now these mommy issues don't come without consequences. I talk too much, I usually only want to talk about myself and what I am doing, and I attract girls with daddy issues. I'm not going to fight any of those things, I'm going to live with them and use them to my advantage. I talk too much, but I've learned to make it interesting, I only want to talk about myself but I have learned how to include others in conversation and what I am doing, and I find the girls with daddy issues and for a couple hours give them the attention that their father never did. They take out their pent up issues on me in a number of different ways, mostly sexual, and then when I don't text them enough they call me a pompous asshole, but at least we had a fun while it lasted.
Alright so enough about me, lets dive into women as a whole. They are complex and beautiful creatures. They bring life and they take life. They will make you feel like the most amazing person in the world, and then they will rip your heart out and make you cry. Thats the cycle of life. It goes up and down. The same goes for women, they go up and down, and they make you happy and sad. Even when you find the one you want to spend your entire life with and create a family with, you are still going to fight and cry and hate each other sometimes. But at the end of the day, if you have managed to marry your best friend then you have won. Because unless you are vegan, you aren't going to stay young and beautiful forever. Some day those perky breasts are going to sag below the belt line, and that toned ass is going to be all wrinkly and disgusting. At that point its not about the sexual attraction, its about the emotional attachment and waking up every day knowing that you are at least going to laugh and have a good time once more before you fall over and die.
Th thing I love most about women and trying to convince them to kiss me is that at the core of it, if you can get a girl over to your place and somehow manage to have her take her clothes off, she will be truthful with you. It is hard to lie to someone who is lying naked next to you. Girls are lying all day long. They lie about their feelings, their weight, how much cardio they did, and what they think of their best friends oversized purse. But at the end of the day, when I get a girl back to my place, she will tell the truth about what she wants to do when she grows up, what her family is like, what her city is like, and why she has that stupid oversized purse. At the end of the day that builds trust and that builds relationships. That is what you want, you don't want some story to tell your homeboys about. You want a real beautiful and complex female counterpart to trust you and think of you as their friend. That is why even though half the girls I've been with hate my guts and think I'm a sleazy asshole, they still talk to me when I call them, they still laugh at my jokes, and they still remember the brief time we shared, even if it was only thirty seconds before I barfed all over them. I bet even the most psycho chick I ever was with, who plotted to denounce me in front of the student government assembly, still remembers the time we watched shawshank redemption together and then I took her for crepes the next day. If you are reading this I know you remember those crepes! and then you made fun of me because I was petting all the dogs in the food truck park, but for at least a couple hours you enjoyed life and even though I never did buy you that sandwich you wanted, some day you will tell your kids "I dated the U.S President when he was 21." …. just kidding i'm not running for U.S. President, and we were not dating! If one more person calls you my ex-girlfriend I'm going to pull my hair out.
So without further adieu, here are my rules for women…
1. "When you realize women make absolutely no sense, it all makes sense." - Thor Ericson Lund
Women are counterintuitive. That is on purpose. If you could logically attract a woman, then all the engineers would win and our society would be wimpy, socially awkward, and have no clue how to match their socks with their outfit. Instead women have evolved our millions of years to be able to pick out the snakes from the lovers and protectors. Eve was pretty crappy at distinguishing the two. She ate from the snake's hand. Humanity suffered as a result, but we have evolved and now women can smell snakes from a mile away. If you are trying to sleep with a woman, she knows. How? Because your eyes are wide, you are drooling, and staring right down her shirt. There are only three places you should ever look at a woman. The first is her eyes, because you can tell if she is interested in you or not with the eyes. The second is her neck because it is the most sensitive part of her body and you want to check for an adams apple. If she has one of those, she is most likely a man so you should avoid trying to sleep with her/him. The third and most important place you can look at a woman is her toes. Why? Because the toes tell all. If her feet are pretty and her nails are painted then you can assume the rest of her body is well groomed and cleaned. If she has gross feet, then chances are she has gross you know what and you will want to avoid that at all costs. If you can't see her toes, go to the hands. You may touch them if the opportunity presents itself (seriously though, if I find out any of you did that stupid pick up artist palm reading bullshit I will be so mad, that stuff is for lame old guys who can't get normal girls), if her hands are smooth and soft, then that is a good sign. If they are manly, check the neck for an adams apple. If they are sweaty, then she is probably nervous which could work in your favor, if they are calm and non sweaty then she is a winner and she probably knows what she is doing so turn your A-game on. In all seriousness, don't look at a woman's chest or ass. She knows, her boyfriend knows, and every other girl in the bar is watching you check her out and saying to herself "That guy is sleazy and I don't want to sleep with him." So focus on the eyes, they tell the whole story anyway. Don't even dare go down to the lips, you will start drooling, its inevitable. We men are like dogs, we can't not drool when that dinner bell is ringing. So don't tempt yourself, stay on the eyes.
There is good news from all this as well. Women can also spot a real man from a mile away. How does she know? He carries himself with unshakeable confidence, he is nonchalant and relaxed. He makes sure everyone else has a good time, he is treating the women he is with like actual human beings and not pieces of meat, he is a little cocky but not douchey, and you can damn well bet he is making people laugh. If you can get a woman to laugh at something (not self depricating though) you are like 75% of the way there.
But why is it like this? Why do women have to be so confusing? The answer is science, or something like that. Attraction is a not a choice, women don't sit around before they go out and say "hmmm well I think tonight I am going to hook up with Joe because he is smart and nice and I like his brown hair." No, in less than a second a woman is either attracted to someone or she isn't. The reason it is this way is because back in the day when we were hunting and gathering with our fellow neanderthals, women had to develop an acute sense of what type of man she met. She couldn't sit around and ponder the pros and cons of each caveman she came in contact with. She had to know in a snap instant whether this guy was going to love her and leave her or whether he was going to get her pregnant and stick around to protect and feed the tribe. We don't protect or feed the tribe like our ancestors did way back in the early days of humanity, but the evolutionary subconscious attraction switch still turns on or off just like it did when we were chasing wooly mammoth.
So the best way to think about women and how to get them to be attracted to you is to do the exact opposite of what you think. If you really like her, tell her you can't stand her. If you think she is pretty, make fun of her oversized purse and ask her if she keeps a parachute inside it. If she is the nicest girl you've ever met, tell her that you don't like it that she is so mean to young children. Seriously its so simple, do the opposite. Every other frat guy out there is going to say "you are so pretty, can I buy you a drink?" he just got friend zoned because he is like everyone else, and he asked for her permission. Instead walk up to a girl and say "hey you seem like no one will be your friend, so I'll let you buy thirty seconds of my time. I'll take a whiskey coke." She is going to be so confused because you aren't needy and asking for her permission. Instead you are assuming she is going to buy you a drink because you are in fact the catch, and she is just some loser. Seriously, try that line out. It will work. How do I know? That's how I get drunk without taking any money downtown. The only time I buy a woman a drink is if it is a whole group of them, or she is with a couple guys that I want to befriend. Even then I usually don't buy her one. Needy guy will say "oh I bought you this super expensive vegas bomb because you are so hot, please talk to me." I say "Yeah I got all your friends a drink, but I didn't get you one because you are frowning too much." Her mind is literally blown because she thinks she is the center of the universe and I just told her she wasn't. The rest of the night she is trying to prove herself, I am continually reminding her that she isn't that cool and that it will never work out between us. She then tries to prove me wrong by getting me to bring her home. She proves me wrong again by getting me to kiss her, but in reality I am the winner because I have just used reverse psychology on her the entire night, made a game of it, and gotten really drunk for free.
2. Your only goal is to have fun
I never go out thinking about who I am going to hook up with or which girl I want to see. I only have one thought. That is, "How can I have the most fun possible?" Seriously, if you make it your number one goal every time to go out and have as much fun as you possibly can you will attract too many girls and they will come home with you effortlessly. Why? Because that is what everyone wants. Fun! That is why we are in college, not to learn (just kidding), it is to have fun. Why do people love animal house? Why do they love getting drunk and waking up in a ditch? Why do girls go to dirty 6th on their 21st and jump up on a bar with their ass hanging out and take a tequila shot out of a dildo? Because it is fun!!
3. Stop trying
If you are trying to hook up with a girl, then you lose and you won't do it. Girls only come effortlessly. There is no winning them. Do you think Ryan Gossling planned out a great way to swoon whoever that chick was in the notebook? No, he jumped on the carnival ride and acted like a dummy, and then I think rode around in a boat in the rain and then ran towards her in slow motion, picked her up, swung her around, and did her in a dirty barn. That wasn't meticulously calculated! That was all spontaneous, and he wasn't trying at all. When you start treating one girl like she is special you will lose her. Women are special as a whole, but individually they are not, except for your sisters and mom and wife. Those ones are special. But regular girls at college and the bars, they aren't special. Newsflash for everyone who is so in love with the first girl they met. I can find one hundred million girls that look just like her but speak two languages. They live in Europe and they can cook way better than your so called perfect woman. Even I forget this sometimes. This is how I lost my second real girlfriend, and how I creeped out a beautiful young charming woman just last month. The first was my second real girlfriend, I treated her like she was the only woman in the whole world that mattered, she was so special that I didn't care that she was hooking up with other guys, or that I had become her bitch and I did all sorts of manual labor during the day for her so that she could go out at night and sleep with whoever she met on sixth. It sucked, but I learned a lot. Now I'm the guy hooking up with the girlfriend. Not my fault, I tried to be a nice boy, it doesn't work. Girls hate nice clingy boys who do everything they want. It doesn't make sense but that is how it is. Okay so I still haven't learned. I met a girl just this summer. She is incredible, definite girlfriend material. She is smart, ambitious, religious, comes from a very good family, she is innocent, she laughs at my joke, she has the body of a goddess, and she has a boat!! But I tried too hard to get her. I flirted too hard, I tried to hang out with her too much and she got creeped out and told me to stay away. It sucks because we would've had a great relationship, but the point is that because I treated her special and wanted to spend time with her, she told me I suck and now I spend zero time with her. Moral of the story: Stop trying to get girls and you will get plenty.
Okay thats it. If you can follow those three simple rules you will be amazed at what will happen. When I was a freshmen I didn't get it. I thought logically girls should like me because I was ambitious, smart, and nice to them. Nope that is the recipe for clingy weirdo. Back then I couldn't buy a girlfriend. Now I have three, and they are all 9s or 10s. Okay they aren't my girlfriends, but I am dating them, sort of. Is that so horrible? No it isn't because each of them also have other boys they are hooking up with and I'm pretty sure one of them has a boyfriend. They all know that I am seeing multiple people and if they don't like it they will stop texting me. That is the name of the game. Have as many girls as you want as long as they are cool with it. Don't lie to them. I tell all of them up front that they aren't the only one and that if they don't like that then we will stop seeing each other. Lots of them leave at that point, but some stick around because they are like female versions of me and they appreciate the honesty and also appreciate dating multiple people at the same time. Some day I will find someone who is worth it and I will give up the other girls. But right now, they are each unique, I love them all, and when they are with me they have my undivided attention and affection.
Game
I'm sure everyone has at least heard of that pick up artist show. That is stupid, don't listen to those guys. You are going to get exactly zero girls by doing magic tricks and telling fake made up stories. I rely on basically one or two lines when I go out and they usually work. If you think they are stupid and will never work, that is fine. But I have 25+ female witnesses who can attest to the fact that I convinced them I was a cool guy, if even only for a long enough amount of time to make out with her before barfing all over blind pig. That actually happened, I started kissing her, then I barfed on her and got escorted out the back. It is really awkward when I see her around now.
The world's greatest pick up line is this:
"Hi"
followed by
"What is your name?"
you respond with
"My name is…."
now you are talking to a girl that you previously did not even know. Congratulations you have beat out half the guys in the bar already. Now just don't screw it up. Do that by choosing from the following list of questions:
"Where are you from?"
"What is your major?"
"What is it like growing up in…."
"Are you in a sorority or spirit group?"
"Who do you know here?"
"What grade are you in?"
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"What do you think of the new Beyonce song?"
"Describe your perfect man."
"Do you like technology?"
Notice all of these questions are open ended except the last one. That is because it gives her a chance to talk while you try not to barf. To be honest, I usually only make it to like the second one before I'm not paying attention to what she is saying and by question three I have transitioned to "Are you trying to get out of here?"
That last question about technology is actually gold. She will try to talk about technology and what her favorite is, but don't let her. Tell her it is just a yes or no question. Regardless of what she says, just slowly now your head, look at her with a slight grin, and say "I figured you would say that." It will actually drive her crazy. Then proceed to change the subject or ask her if she is trying to leave.
Here are things you NEVER say to a girl when you are talking to her.
"I'm the *insert some position* in *insert some organization."
"You have a nice ass"
"you are pretty/beautiful/cool/different/unique"
"can I touch it?"
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Want to see my car?"
"Want to see a picture of my dog?"
"I have a boat."
any story that starts with "So this one time…"
"will you come back with me?"
"can i kiss you"
"i want to kiss you"
"your lips look so kissable"
"want to come back to my place?"
"can i take you out for dinner sometime?"
What do all of these have in common? They are what drunk frat boys say, they are needy and permission seeking, and they show that you are trying to prove your self worth.
I'm lucky in that all I have to do is say "My name is Thor" and she usually recognizes that I was SG President, and if she doesn't one of my friends will be a good wingman and jump in and be like "Don't you know Thor? He was the president."
I don't like to use the president card because it is a crutch and it takes the fun out of talking to girls, but honestly I am usually ready to leave if I have resorted to leaving my drunk guy friends to talk to a girl one on one. Two weeks ago I had the most fun I've ever had getting a girl to kiss me. The reason was because I met her outside of a bar scene, she had no idea who I was or if I had any social status, and I literally had to convince her I was cool all through game. It was a rush, it was exciting, and a hundred times more pleasurable then getting a drunk girl with daddy issues to kiss me at abels. I actually told the girl I was gay but experimenting, and for whatever reason she couldn't tell if I was lying or not. Then I made fun of her for being a lot younger than me and telling her she had so much to look forward to in the coming years. It worked, I won, and then got chased out of the lake house by her boyfriend who was trying to kill me…. but thats a whole different blog post I could write about another time.
You don't have to be the President though, just come up with something. Even if you are "Larry the guy with green pants" girls will want to hook up with you. They may think you are uglier than an ape, but they can go home and tell all their friends that they hooked up with "Larry the green pants guy" and all their friends will laugh and be like "oh i saw him barf on another girl at blind pig once, he is really funny though." If you can't tell, when I am not Thor the president, I am Larry the green pants guy that sometimes gets too drunk and barfs on adpi's.
The final piece of advice I have for talking to girls is to confuse them. Honestly they deserve it, they have perplexed men since the beginning of time when they tricked us to eat the devil's food in the garden of eden. Give them a taste of their own medicine. If you can confuse their brain, then they will go home with you. Again, I don't know why and it doesn't make sense but it just does. I have blogged a list of text messages where I have said things that literally make no sense to me, but have prompted a favorable response from the female I was texting. Oh and while we are on it, DON'T TEXT GIRLS! They don't care what you are doing, and they don't want you to ask them about their day. Seriously, they have girlfriends for all that. You don't really care, you just want to sleep with them. I only text girls that I hook up with two things "DT?" or "coming over tonight?" Thats it. I don't want to know what they had for lunch or what they thought about the Justin Bieber movie, that is the nice clingy guys job to find all that out. I just want to know if she is going to spend the night, or if I need to text someone else for that.
In conclusion, women are the best. You should love them and treat them with respect. Do the opposite of what they want, unless they say no. Always do what they say when they say no! I am by no means a master of any of this. I strike out twice as much as I succeed. In the next post are some of my biggest failures, they are funny, and I actually suck with girls, I have just managed to find a couple things that work and keep swinging even after I strike out over and over again. Sometimes I worry that I am callous to love and emotion because I will block a girl after she leaves my apartment because I never want to hear from her again, and I can't even remember her name. So then I have to block like four girls with the name that I think it could be. But…. some day I will love someone, and make her my wife, and have children and settle down. I thought I found her twice, but turns out I didn't because one is in Costa Rica, and the other doesn't love me back for whatever reason, actually she has plenty of reason. She knows I'm actually an engineering nerd that was lucky to get with her in the first place with my nerd socks, cargo pants, and shrunk crop top shirts that I dried too hot in the dryer.
Also read the following two books, they are very eye-opening. Just google free pdf and then the title and you should be able to find them. They are each a couple hundred pages long but you will learn lots.
Conquer your campus - Mark Redman (I think)
Attraction isn't a choice - David Deangelo

- As a woman, I am so offended by this long-winded piece of self-affirmation that I don't even know where to start. You have just successfully ensured that no intelligent, self-respecting female will ever have anything to do with you again. You managed to objectify and generalize about 50% of the entire world with one post. When I go out and meet guys, the only thing I really ask for right off the bat is to not be treated as if I am interchangeable with every other girl in the venue. In fact, I don't like it when guys "try to confuse me", I actually like it when they text me back, and I certainly hate it when my desirable qualities are listed out as if I am racehorse going to stud. If we really are "unique" you can start respecting us by not writing a blog post on how we all like to be treated.Reply
On the other hand, if this was satirical piece, great work! 
Thor puts female friend in place by guaranteeing that her job in life is to help mother the next generation Even in his apology, he reveals his misogyny.Reply
Additionally, have fun with the google results your future employers come up with when typing in your name. High five bro.Reply- I'm confused, is this satire? If so, shouldn't we all take a deep breath?Reply
- It was a piece of garbage and your friend should never forgive you for being so freaking pompous. Think before you speak, bro.Reply
He probably did think and this is the scary part. Even in this "apology" he revealed his true self: pompous, misogynistic, arrogant asshole.Reply
I'm glad you're sorry because you lost a friend. Wait, no I'm not! If that was the only reason for you taking down this post, you're still a disgusting misogynistic ass.Reply
I am so upset to see this come from a Longhorn's voice.Reply
The proof that you haven't learned a thing is that instead of apologizing to every female who had the tolerance to read that entire piece of garbage, you try to defend your words as "satire" and give an apology to one person. You claim to love women as you reduce us to items of physical conquer and "life-making" seduction. The pure fact that you would sit down and write such a long post on your "expertise" is misogynistic enough.
Kindly grow up and learn to have respect for someone besides yourself. And while you're at it, apologize profusely to your mother for making her pay for your dumb, privileged mistakes.
Or maybe you could just "confuse" her in your intellectual superiority.- Thor, your ego truly got the best of you. Better learn now than later.Reply
I don't think you hate women, I think you love yourself so blindly you can't see anything else. - "Go Vegan." I read this as, "Despite my glaring omissions of human decency, I still think of myself as being in a position to tell you what to do." Well, you'll make a great addition to the body of politicians some day. Good luck with your sense of ontological superiority.Reply
- Oh honey..if a farm wife from halfway across the country knows who you are, then you have really screwed up. And all of your future employers will be able to see these deep thoughts forever. You would have been better off with sexting or something; at least as seen as youthful stupidity. But this..? Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. Perhaps aiming for self-employment would be your best option.Reply
- Haha! I know who he is.. and I live in Norway :D
- Mr.Lund is truly an international asshole!
- Dude, speaking as a recent UT alum, you need to get over yourself and your egoistical bs. Sad to see people like you as the face of anything I was associated with. Really you took this down because people informed you of how much of a dick you are, and you made an ass of yourself. Many people in the UT community don't want your asinine comments to be associated in any way with their institution. Get ready for your time at UT to be the high point of your life carrying that entitled attitude with you.Reply
To restate another comment: EVEN YOUR APOLOGY IS MISOGYNISTIC. Women are more than machines on earth to give birth to asshats like yourself. 
Here's a tip...you SHAMED her. You didn't "ashame her."Reply
If you're going to go on misogynistic rants, at least, AT LEAST, use proper grammar. Tool.
- There's no need to nitpick his grammar... That's truly the least of the problems here.
- Hey, I'd definitely recommend you keep getting help. People make mistakes, and yours seemed to come mostly from ignorance. BUT you're taking the steps to educate yourself and taking the most constructive criticism and comments, as evidenced by your thoughts on male privilege (study more on that, gender roles, societal expectations and imperatives for women as well as the concept of the male gaze). While you said/are still kinda saying some fairly misogynistic and uneducated things that can be helped and it's fairly easy for you to understand what was wrong and better yourself, which you seem to be trying to do! It takes time and an effort to really grasp some of these concepts! Keep up the good work and I hope you can get past this event in your life. Also, please try to not let the most vitriolic (and least helpful, guys) comments get to you.Reply
The misogyny comes through brightly shining; ditto the huge ego, the cluelessness, and confusion about how to put thoughts to keyboard - in other words - incredibly bad writing, while also managing to show to how intellectually shallow you are. I'm not sure where "large purses" and "technology" (exactly how do YOU define technology, anyway?) fit into this picture, if at all. I have some advice for you, Thor: learn to use grammar, learn to spell, make your sentences coherent, AND, stop writing about women - your experience is very obviously extremely limited, and you weren't paying attention when you did encounter a woman. I sincerely hope there will come a day when your frontal lobes are completely mature, and you see what is important in life. You seem to have some respect for your Mother - she's a woman.Reply- type 'cache:' before the URL (in Chrome) if you want to see the original post.Reply

Truth hurts! You have to be cruel to be kind. I don't understand why women got upset. He's just telling the truth.
Too bad he had to compromise his principles and back down
Is that a descendant of Alfred E. Newman?
And he says women are hard to understand?????
He is a Texan and we expect no less from the evolutionary impaired.
I don't believe this man has ever seen a woman naked- well maybe at a special club.
He looks like Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.
And I would say when she points and laughs at your naked body, she is telling the truth!
He is very immature, very unfunny, and very naive. Idiot.
So
am I lying when I say I think Thor Lund is an idiot? I'm fully dressed
BTW. Somehow I doubt this guy gets many ladies naked, he really
doesn't understand women.
hahaha... like HE'D know!!
This self-involved boy is completely deluded.
The only woman who will tell a man the truth is his Mother !
"The
only way to get a woman to tell the truth is to get her naked"--No,
Thor, not even then. How many times has a naked woman told you, "That
was AMAZING!"?
I think that sweater is keeping him from meeting Miss Right.
What a dork
He lives in Texas and he's a vegan?
He's kin to Ted Cruz, Texas Senator.
This sweater is more disturbing than any of the junk he's spewing.
Nice sweater.
Judging from the photo, his "knowledge" of women would be largely speculative.
No reason to be offended, or visit his blog.
What did he do or say wrong?
How to offend a woman? be a man!
he will probably cringe in a few years.
I'm not loving that cardigan, that's for sure!
Reminds me of Jay from Inbetweeners. He ain't getting laid, not in that jumper!
As if he's ever seen a woman naked.
that's a load of rubbish "yes darling you were magnificent" is usually a lie.
From the looks of him, I doubt he's seen many naked women!
His
knowledge about women is equivalent to another young person the same
age, who solely drinks cheap wine coolers, subsequently believing he's a
wine connoisseur
Does anyone really think this guy have ever seen a naked woman in person?
Wow--how did a twelve year old get into UT and become a student president???
He is stupid and wrong, why? Because whenever I'm naked, I lie like a trooper.
If he thinks we only lie while wearing clothes, he can't have met (m)any naked women!!!
Sorry, they still lie even when naked...
But even naked men will still lie.
if a girl is lieing about her natural hair colour this could be true
He looks and sounds very unpleasant to me. He hardly is very successful with ladies.
I
can pretty much guarantee that no woman picked out that sweater for
him, and that he probably hasn't seen too many women naked. Most likely
been told 'no' a lot.
If that was true it would make job interviews and court cases much more interesting...
With his geeky looks I don't think he'll get many woman naked.
It¿ obviously never occurred to him that women have been known to fake orgasms
Whatever he learned about women was learned at a distance.
This
is not sexism. If a woman wrote something like this about a man (which I
am sure is already out there) I doubt there would be an uprising. Stop
being so sensitive people. People love drama.
- a growed ass woman
They are not really women at that age. It's a lot of uptalk and fry. Wait until you are 30 and then see what you found out.
I don't think he could pick anyone up in that weird nordic cosby sweater. Only hipsters pull that off.
Erm, looking at his photo I very much doubt that any woman has ever got naked near him. Unless he paid them, possibly.
What
rubbish and long winded rubbish at that. He knows nothing and looks as
though he's never even had a girlfriend for more than 5 mins. Why not
just get on with your day pal and keep your silly crap to yourself.
he seems to have a thing about oversized purses!
'I love women, a lot. I love when they look at me, talk to me, and
laugh at me. ' ......yeah, that last part sounds about right.
What
he's learned about women is apparently very little. But what I've
learned about him is that he has zero taste in fashion and that sweater
would embarrass a hobo.
It's
okay to have opinions. I get that. But how would he like it if
someone posted that guys with droopy eyes and big noses are all red neck
hill billies and should be avoided at all costs. Or guys who wear zip
up sweaters are all Mama's boys. You really can't tell what a person is
like by superficial means. It takes time to get to know someone. And
let me tell you, Thor baby......after this, you'll be lucky if you ever
see a woman naked again!
He thinks we tell the truth when we are naked.........yeah right. And I suppose no woman ever faked an orgasm?
It's
not a game, you don't have to trick people into bed with you. It's
called striking up a relationship and if you don't have enough about you
to be able to do that just by being yourself, then you won't have any
respect for yourself and neither will anyone else.
TexAss
That
is what he learned. If you don't like it or disagree then do your own
research and publish your findings. Since when did everyone become so
bloody sensitive....!?
urgh. He's gross
The sexism might possibly be forgiven if it were true or funny but it's neither.
As
a former spy and B&D Master, I have to admit that Mr Lund is
telling a fact long known to CIA. The truth always hurts when we pry it
out from under fantasy. Of course, both men and women are susceptible to
this, but with women - well, it;s just more fun. Orgasm, anyone?
There is a name for men who understand women... Misogynists
Going to university sometimes doesn't help and some people remain idiots.
The
bloke is deluded, he would be lucky to get a blow up doll naked, never
mind a confused female he is trying to "neg". Most women can spot men
negging a mile off but if you can't here is a clue, if a conversation
with any man makes you feel insecure, unhappy, even just abit off, or if
you have any niggling doubt that something doesn't quite feel right,
even though the bloke if coming across as nice or just a joker, then get
as much distance between you and him. Don't let insecure plebs mess
with your head so they can have a laugh/ and or lay at your expense!!!!
A tactic hailed in the woman hater's bible "the game", any guy who
belives this is nuts, the amount of men, my friends, and myself have
blown out of the water the minute they start this tripe is unbelievable.
You want to get a woman naked? want to get her to open up and be
truthful? Don't be nasty, cruel or play games with her head.
Student? He looks like a middle aged man!
With that cardigan I find anything he says bogus before he even opens him rude and ignorant mouth.
The only time you might get truth from a man is when he's drunk and incapable of lying.
what
you have learned from this story is that men will always be confused
about women - no matter his genes/DNA, country of parental origin - the
US state in which he lives or what he looks like or level of education.
The only man in America who really understands women is Hugh Hefner - he
made them look beautiful and then gave them lots of money and made them
famous forever - he paid attention to them and flattered them with
clever lighting...... and he did pretty well also.
Advice
on women? 1) One at a time. 2) Never compare a woman to any other woman
unless it's to say how much better they are. 3) The only safe answer to
"How do I look?" is "Irresistible!". 4) When asked to comment on
another woman, say you didn't notice her or can't remember what she
looked like. 5) Say as little as possible, listen as much as possible.
6) Be your own man and don't try to please her: You're not a dog. Be
loving and respectful, but if she needs to be told to shut up and
behave, tell her. But remember the same goes for you, we all screw up
now and then. - That'll do for now. lol
