Guilty pleasures????

So, I wanted to share this song with everyone, as I recently came across it. Admittedly I find it intoxicating and although Lana doesn't necessary fit my prototypical piece of eye candy I find her absurdly sexy. I've always found women capable of singing to be hot. I'm not sure if it's because I have no singing abilities whatsoever, so maybe I see them as a missing piece to me...who knows. I'm not trying to psychoanalyze myself and I don't want you assholes poking around my brain so just check out the song...

Good right?

After listening to the above song this morning and then seeing the 'best movie ever' post today I started wonder what everyone's guilty pleasures are? I don't particularly mean in a sexual manner...so don't tell us about your self abuse in the bathroom stalls at the office...I'm just curious if there are things you enjoy that you wouldn't tell people you knew in real life or if there are activities you partake in that may not be seen as 'stereotypical' Wall Street behavior? For example, IP is into hang gliding and I watch the Jersey Shore. Oddly enough, I actually find the show mostly repulsive but I watch in amazement, constantly wondering how it's possible for people to live in the manner they do.

Anyways, what abnormal hobbies and/or freak show activities do you guys participate in if you manage to get some spare time?

Regards

FinancialNoviceII...I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something about her that's so damn appealing...

Yeah, my thought exactly. I'm not sure what it is about her but I feel like I've been hypnotized and now I'm forced to be attracted to her...not that she isn't good looking...but there is just something about her.

Well, we agree on something.

 

Well, I would say I have two types of guilty pleasures. First one is kinda like yours, watching dumbass reality shows and listening to chick music. The other type is a little mean. I enjoy messing mentally with girls that I meet online. I'll talk to a girl on OkCupid or Match, arrange a time to meet and never show up for the date. Or I'll even date a girl for 2-3 months, and it's going nowhere, completely break off contact without an explanation.

I get a kick out of it, it's fun to watch people try to make sense of what happened.

I'm fairly certainly that's the same vice Patrick Bateman had before he bought his chainsaw. LOL.

If you're looking for the proper coping mechanisms to resolve the abandonment issues from your own childhood, you should really look for victims in another market. Girls seeking relationships from strangers on the internet are generally less emotionally intelligent than their non-internet peers. You won't learn anything from them.

If you really want to get over this, you're going to have to try to get a woman to approach you in public. Chances are a confident woman, after you abandon her, will give you the learning experience you're look for. Godspeed, and way to be frugal in not paying for a therapist.

Downward spiral, dude. Not good.

This is extremely fucked up. I'm not going to judge you for it as I have my own psychological demons that I'm trying to beat, but I'm telling you, because I know from experience, this will lead you down a road of misery and loneliness. You should probably go see a therapist, one who is specifically trained in handling cluster B personality disorders.

God bless you.

Gawd, where do I begin? Females aged 16-19 and 40-55, boy bands, liberal Democrat women, Avril Lavigne, lana spelled backward with women, Diet Coke, college football, dachshunds and other dogs with floppy ears, and Taco Bell. And trust me, I've left off a lot of fcked up sht lest my actual name and address are ever revealed (which is likely at some point with my luck).

Don't worry, Aviator takes the cake for biggest creeper dick move in this thread by far. That post was borderline sociopathic... I hope he was kidding hahaha

on a side note I'm still a senior in college so it's still ok to creep on junior/senior hs girls

I'd say that a chick giving a dude a Cleveland Steamer is more on the hardcore end of the spectrum.

she wasn't wearing the leather or anything though and i don't think she ever did. honestly, for the most part she seemed like a pretty normal lady in her early 30's who worked at a real estate company. then i found out she did like foot fetish shit, which was a little weird, then i saw her taking a shit on a guy...

Holy fuck, Aviator. You are messed up. Haha.

My guilty pleasure is having 'country music hour' when there's nobody in the office late at night. Putting on some really bad ass country and answering calls with a redneck accent. 'Git-R done!' I've had many laughs when someone from the asian office is calling. Of course compliance isn't very happy about it, but who cares. I make it rain or in the words of Daniel Tosh 'I make it hail. Throwing change at sluts. I'm a baller on a budget, biatch.'

EDIT: For those who don't know who Daniel Tosh is:

i just watched the music video 3 times in a row. i am captivated by her and this song

 

To answer the question, I don't really have any guilty pleasures, or rather I feel neither guilt nor shame about enjoying the things that I enjoy.
