I didn't mean to avoid this earlier, DC. You are worthy of getting a response from me as well.
lol I said that a couple of times in shoutbox just to tease you that you should get into Justin Bieber and other artists that kids your age listen to but it was all in jest. I didn't really think that you should start listening to Pop more just to fit in with your age group. That is completely fine if you think my taste is horrible but see the thing that people aren't noticing. I listen to a crapload of awful artists but I do listen to some decent ones as well. It's like a shotgun shell. It goes out and hits a lot of random targets and some of them are artists that get super flak around here for liking but I'm fine with that. I'm listening to the artist, it's not like I'm forcing you or any other person to listen to the same dreadful crap I listen to. I know it's crap and I still listen to it.

FBD is probably right that you over compensate how manly you are on here since you aren't in real life. Whatever, i don't have much beef with you but i do agree with what FBD says. Feel free to respond with attitude.

Over the top male stuff? Sure, I'm a bit aggressive at times but that's because I'm changing and forcing myself to become more alpha male. In the past I was more like s_k, just in the fact that I would play the friend zone and wait months sometimes even years for a girl that doesn't give two s
hits about me. I needed to change this wishy washy beta male part of me and I did.
I don't even like the typical **** that guys like if you want to get specific. I don't like beer, it tastes like piss. I don't like big DD tits. I'm not even worried about breast size on a girl. Sure, I'm an ass guy and I talk about it but I don't see how that makes me the stereotypical over the top male figure. Yes, I like sports so the **** what? Most guys like them too. I mostly only like Hockey and Football. I don't like Baseball like the stereotypical male. I don't get how you can agree with what FBD said and you and I talk more than I talk with him. That's fine though you are entitled to your opinion and so is he.

I've talked to you about this in the past s_k. It's similar to that saying that people fear what they don't understand.
I told you not everyone is ready to hear everything and even if you tell them that doesn't mean they will understand. People are predisposed to judge things and people which they don't understand. I had a feeling that this day would come and you would finally realize what I was telling you earlier. It's nice to be an open book about your condition but even when you talk about it. People will go around harping that you are just using your condition as an excuse because they don't fully understand it. They don't live in your shoes on a day to day basis and they haven't experienced first hand what you have in the past.
Take care s_k and good luck. I hope you get a chance to read this before taking off for good. Life is all about lessons. Take what has happened over the past few days and learn from this. I'm not sure that you need to be completely closed off but just be a little more cautious about what you tell people because they don't NEED to know.

Yeah, I understand that. I still listen to the dreadful stuff that I used to before coming here but I also added more artists/bands.
There are people that lurk and learn about a lot of artists but they never post or even if they do post they don't post in the genre forum where they discovered a new artist that they like now. I'm in this position the latter.
Also, LastFM isn't that great of an indicator for what I listen to. I have casettes, cds and I watch youtube videos especially of artists that other members post here. Last FM doesn't pick up on those points. The reason you don't know that I listen to classical is because I have some artists that I listen to every Sunday while I'm cleaning up my apartment and LastFM doesn't get a chance to know about it. When LastFM can start scrobbling cds, cassettes and youtube videos then it will be more accurate. I'll even add vinyl in there for those audiophiles out there that listen to vinyl.
