Title: My Girlfriend Is Stalking Me
Post by: Pathos on April 13, 2010, 09:57:12 pm
My girlfriend is stalking me on the internet, reading my emails, following my forum posts and generally being a creepy cow about it.

And I love her. ;D

( Now she's distracted, how do I get her to stop it without her killing my dog? )

Touché. In reality, it's sort've like Resident Evil Code Veronica. I dress up as my twin sister who became an ant-zombie-thing and have discussions with myself.

She can't kill your dog if you do it first.  You can also password your computer so only you can use it...

If she's really doing that, she's everything but perfect. In fact, in my book disrespect for privacy is a prime reason for dumping someone. If I caught anyone reading my texts etc without my permission, any relations between me and that person (be it a girlfriend, a friend or a relative) would be over.

and what it means for the potential for any future relationship you're in to be stable/healthy.

I mean, if you're that easily cowed and controlled, what's to keep the desire for optimal genes from you ending up the chump raising some other guy's kid?

Lol, she's not watching, I'm sure.

My girlfriend does it all the time too. I just gave her my password for a bunch of stuff, but not email. Just facebook, MSN, this forum, etc.

I actually met her by dialing random numbers from other people's phones and trolling them. She found out that I was the guy she kept stalking back at uni/the library. Match made in heaven.

Oh, advice? Enjoy it  ;D

Says who?  If they both enjoy life this way, what's wrong with it?  If it's making him unhappy, that's one thing, if he doesn't care, that's another.  I wouldn't go around so casually proclaiming that another person needs to restructure their personality.  Not everyone must have or will have need of strong willpower.

This is a rather sinister line.  What's to keep her from cheating on him because he doesn't fulfill some macho fantasy you've attributed to her based on generalizations of human behavior?  A lot of things, like being a thinking human being that, I assume, loves and cares for him.  Not every person is constantly looking out for the optimal genes or pursuing the person who attracts them most in the shallowest of ways.  If that's the type of woman she is, then he'd be better off without her, so it's a point not worth pondering.

If it actually bothers you, then talk to her about it and make sure it stops.
If you're cool with it, then don't.

I don't understand why you'd need to ask an internet forum about this. If someone's doing something that bugs you, then talk to them about it.

Obviously if he's posted about it on here, there's a problem of some sort.  Either she's bragging about her control over him to us or he's distressed by her power over him.  Or possibly it's all an elaborate joke on us here on the boards.

We all need enough willpower not to be slaves or victims of domestic abuse.  I contend that he is not showing enough willpower to avoid falling victim to the latter fate.

Macho fantasy?  Hah.  More like extrapolations from what I know of evolutionary biology.  Women want A. Good Genes for offspring and B. a mate they know isn't going to leave them or reproduce with other women.  The individual who provides A does not have to provide B and vice versa.  We have no way of knowing if/when she'll come to the conclusion that his lack of (implied)confidence and (shown)willpower will result in her having less and less of an opinion of him until she views him as little more than a slave, unworthy of love.

And yes, it is a sinister line.  Sadly not as sinister as it could be since I didn't type it left-handed.  The point is to highlight the unfortunate implications and the bad possibilities.

There's no point in highlighting the fluffy-bunny possibilities.

So because he doesn't have enough willpower to go up against her on this, he wouldn't have the willpower to resist worse domestic abuse?  I'm sure you recognize that as a fallacy, my friend.

It's almost as if you believe people are entirely slaves to their most base of sexual fantasies or desires, are you saying you are exactly that and live your life by it?  I certainly hope not.  If not, maybe you shouldn't assume others are.  For example, a man may prefer a 5'0" bimbo with huge breasts, high pitched voice, and overly feminine face that offers no opposing opinions or views to him and is always submissive and agreeable, or be turned on by it the most (evolutionary biology).  He may fantasize about it in his mind.  Does that mean he will choose to pursue these types of women?  Does that mean he will cheat on the wife he loves for these types of women?  Don't be so eager to hand out judgment on people you don't know based on mere statistics.  If you keep up on scientific journals, you will be well aware of the study that has shown statistical correlation is more often wrong than right.  Evolutionary biology does not even come close to explaining individuals and their choices, maybe the general trend of society or humanity, but not an individual.  It's merely statistical correlations that we infer preferences from.  If 60% of bay12games members were pedophiles, kept in their own separate sub-forum away from the non-pedophiles, would you appreciate strangers assuming you are a pedophile for coming here?  Or how about strangers expressing concern to your family that you may be a pedophile?

People talking about "good genes" and "evolutionary biology" tend to not take into account several things, like the fact that, in social animals, a trait that's bad for an individual is sometimes still positive for the group.

Of course, it's a hypersimplistic perspective of something like relationships anyway. You can be nervous and underconfident but still have plenty of other positive traits, such that your significant other won't go around boning other people at the first opportunity (or ever, necessarily).

The fact that he's enduring anything that could be qualified as domestic abuse is bad, if it is actually a fact that such is the case.  I'm inclined to believe that there's something sketchy with the situation as presented at the very least and express concern about the perceived lack of self-defense.

Nah.  I just wanted to present a risk of continuing to be weak-willed and easily pushed around and provide an explanation for how/why it can happen rather than saying with a certainty that X will always happen.  I meant it more of a hypothetical future partner anyway, thus taking more advantage of the innate uncertainty of life and the fact that I cannot account for individual personalities but could speak to generalities.  Also, it was said from a perspective of such things influencing us (since we are, after all, free-willed, sapient creatures) rather than out and out controlling us.  I apologize for leaving out that bit of explication.

Or maybe I have existential crises where I ponder whether my genetic material is worth passing on to future generations.  *shrug*  Near as I can tell, my personal beliefs don't really enter into whether or not he is potentially putting himself in a situation where he has a greater risk of being cheated on.

Don't be so eager to hand out judgment on people you don't know based on mere statistics.

I'll concede this, I was too quite to come to a moral conclusion on the individuals involved considering what we've actually seen.  I stand by the sentiment that it is a ridiculous situation and if he doesn't have enough willpower to keep from telling someone his password, he deserves what seems to be happening to him.  I'll just refrain from thinking about the pair of them as horrible people.

I apologize for the tone I took with you and for not more fully laying out my position overall.

If 60% of bay12games members were pedophiles, kept in their own separate sub-forum away from the non-pedophiles, would you appreciate strangers assuming you are a pedophile for coming here?  Or how about strangers expressing concern to your family that you may be a pedophile?

I might not appreciate it, but if there was any data to back that up it would be a reasonable thing for them to be concerned about if they found out I was a member of the boards.  However, if this was available in a common knowledge form such that someone random could know it, likely I would know it as well and would need quite a bit of incentive to start or, once learned, maintain ties to such a website that condoned pedophilia and allowed it to flourish even if it were just in a specific sub-forum.

I'm not sure where you're going with the talking to my family here, since I have no ability to actually influence his life beyond what words, words, words can do.
Title: Re: My Girlfriend Is Stalking Me
Post by: Kebooo on April 20, 2010, 09:23:12 pm
Here's my real point: this is a girl the guy loves, and I assume trusts.  Maybe that's not true, but I think it's reasonable to assume, or else why would he so easily give up his passwords?  Well, you've just questioned her faithfulness and honesty.  Maybe she'd dump him, but to suggest she might get pregnant with another man, have the other man's child, and have him raise it?  That is more sinister than even the average simpleton's life.  I would agree with your general point when looking at the whole of humanity, because many people aren't honest, do cheat, and do follow their most base desires.

I like to think the type of people visiting bay12games have a good eye for decent people, and thus girlfriends.  Might not be true, but I think it's preferable to assuming the worst.  If neither of the two were reading the topic at all, I wouldn't consider the implication disrespectful.  Consider this; his girlfriend may be reading your lines and has now just had you question her honesty and faithfulness by the mere fact she is a woman.  You don't know anything about her, her principles, her morals, her care for him, yet still felt compelled to question her honesty and faithfulness, putting them up in the air.  The "going to your family" was meant that you may have just indirectly told his family (his girlfriend) that you have enough doubt in her faithfulness to warrant raising.  Maybe a poor analogy, I was merely stating you probably wouldn't want strangers planting seeds of doubt in your family's trust of you.

One last thing, I'd like to object to the idea attractiveness of a man or woman is a definitive indicator of their health or "better" genetics.  After all, most of us would consider someone highly intelligent to have good genes, but as far as evolution is concerned, all that matters is the amount of successful offspring you pass on.  Someone could live longer, be healthier in middle age, be more intelligent, and yet be less fertile.  Who really has the worst genes, when it comes to a conscious evaluation?  Our preferences are because of correlations (X feature has Y probability of Z), and that means they can deceive us when it comes to what we would commonly measure as "good genes".

Dude... you guys may enjoy this sort of thing, but it's kind of ridiculous.  I'm not saying you can't have a good relationship with stalking in.  At this point, however, it's a bit like the high schoolers I see groping each other in the parking lot.  Groping, much like stalking, is a sweet better indulged in private.

Pathos my friend, or perhaps pathos's girlfriend, let me share some incite with you that I gathered through some pretty horrific personal experience.


See, years back before my current life as a hermit I had a girlfriend who I see shades of yours in. Her obsessive intrusions on your privacy could mean many things, things I can't guess without seeing you in person, but more then likely its one of these two: She's either so entirely obsessed and dependent upon you that she jealously seeks to destroy your other relationships or she's feeling guilty about her own infidelity and taking this guilt out on you by subconsciously assuming that you must be cheating too. Theres the chance that she's just extremely controlling and manipulative but thats something I hope you'd notice on your own. Considering her post of you being a serial cheater I'm leaning toward it being entirely possible that she's just abusing you to feed her own insecurities but once again, I can't be sure.

I recommend you two sit down and try to calmly talk out exactly why she feels the need to check up on your private dealings and see if there's a way to make her feel at ease enough to stop doing it. However, if she simply refuses to stop and continues to invade your personal space then I suggest getting out before you're in too deep.

Otherwise you may end up like me, dropping off the map, moving to another state and still being stalked by a bi-polar nutcase.

I've found that the very best thing to do is simply ignore her. Seriously, I've tried practically everything to get rid of her, legal or otherwise, and the only thing which really seems to bring her stalkiness down to "very occasional"  is simply ignoring her. Anything else and she knows shes getting a rise out of me and pushes harder.

So am I to understand you're being bribed and coerced through sex to reveal your secrets to this domineering overprotective violator of your privacy? And that she believes you're a serial cheater and you deny it, only you've already revealed a lack of willpower at resisting feminine charms?

I think the problem here is you, my friend. If you had a pair and were a man you'd not be playing peek and poke with some girl you don't trust just because she's available. You're already showing her you're not in control of yourself; how do you expect to be on even equal footing with her? Its far more likely you'll wind up groveling at her feet every time your cell phone bill reveals a phone number she didn't exclusively whitelist.

Do what I did; dated stone cold chaste for seven years and then married the girl.

Learn how to do a death glare, psycho grin, and buy a knife.
Kubrick stare with an army survival knife is my preferred combo.
If it's a pocket knife, repeatedly and idly flick it open, close, open, close.
If it's weighted evenly, you could probably flip it.

No, see, in Australia carrying a concealed weapon (or a weapon you don't have a license for I think? Something along those lines) is against the law, and walking along the street with a knife out will get the police called.

See, in Australia, the police are trained to handle dangerous situations and if you're being menaced by a person with a weapon, you're not supposed to pull your own weapon and have at him. There are some parts of town where it isn't safe to travel at night, but that's true for anywhere and usually, (fairly rare) muggings don't leave people dead because they pulled a pocket knife on a mugger that could well be carrying one of their own.

EDIT: This isn't the topic for this. Feel free to post whatever pithy comment you want on freedom and liberty and how carrying a weapon is a good idea because people won't attack other people if they might be carrying a weapon or whatever, but if you want to discuss this start a topic.

Nope.  It's generally referred to as "brandishing" and some states at least definitely outlaw it.  Here's an example from California law: (http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/417.html)

Quote
Every person who, except in self-defense, in the
presence of any other person, draws or exhibits any deadly weapon
whatsoever, other than a firearm, in a rude, angry, or threatening
manner, or who in any manner, unlawfully uses a deadly weapon other
than a firearm in any fight or quarrel is guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 30
days.

And even in the ones that don't outlaw it explicitly, if you go around pointing a knife at people, you will get the cops called on you, and they'll find something to charge you with.

Ah, yeah, I misunderstood what he meant about knives.  However, it's still not "perfectly legal" to walk around with a non-firearm projectile weapon.  Walking around with an air rifle in public can get you arrested. (http://www.recordpub.com/news/article/4505773)  If you're under 13, you can't carry a loaded air rifle in public in Illinois.

Nah, I'm just prepared for normal everyday problem solving. In my pockets right now I have the aforementioned cutting implements, the multi-tool, a led flashlight, a moleskine note book, 2 pens, a wallet and car keys.

The spike thing has multiple uses but I mainly use it for puncturing hard objects or poking small holes. Its great as a glass hammer as well. Most recently I used it to puncture the top of a water jug, open a coconut, tear the plastic wrap on a dvd and scratch a small mark in a piece of scrap wood so I could use it as a impromptu ruler.

Seriously, between all this talk (and extreme confusing) about weapon-carrying to Nikov bragging about how awesome it is that he essentially - in his view, mind - turned his girlfriend (now wife) into some kind of Stockholm Syndrome-afflicted slave to passion, this is all pretty funny.


Speaking of weapon laws, a lot of non-firearm-oriented ones (at least in much of the US, and probably elsewhere) are really hilarious. Here's (http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/statutes/title11/11-47/11-47-42.HTM) the one for my state.

Aside from the extremely confusing wording in some places (does "wear or carry concealed" mean "wear, or carry concealed" or "wear concealed or carry concealed", anyway? And if it's implied that you can carry a sword-in-cane if you don't intend to use it unlawfully, how the hell does that work, since it's by design concealed?), here is my favorite part:

Quote
No person shall carry or possess or attempt to use against another any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slingshot, billy, sandclub, sandbag, metal knuckles, slap glove, bludgeon, stun-gun, or the so called "Kung-Fu" weapons

If I recall correctly, flamethrowers are "legal" in all states, but in a handful you need permits (I believe mainly particularly flammable states, like California) to use/own one.

If someone can give me an actual legal definition for "the so called 'Kung-Fu' weapons", I will eat my goddamn hat. What does that even mean? It's like they're going by crap they've seen in movies.

Last part of the derail for me, but I just had to say something. They make it sound like if this law wasn't in effect, everyone, down to the children, would be fighting like New York gangsters thrown into a 1970's Kung Fu movie. As if people are actively fighting each other will billy clubs, knuckles, paintball guns, and fancy Oriental blades.

So how is the stalking going?

Wildfires would be dangerous in America, especially once there's a war on our doorstep. Woodlands are huge, and controls are somewhat lax, as we seem to employ 'if it ain't causing trouble yet, don't fix it' mentality

They were traveling at at 100 km/h, by the way.

Wildfires in my part of the US can get very large very quickly. That's because where I live is technically a semiarid desert, but with way too many flammable trees. It doesn't help that the forest floors are covered in EXTREMELY flammable pine needles, up to six inches thick in parts.

On the "legal flamethrower": There is no technical law about it. Of course, INTERNATIONAL law states that they are illegal, and I'm sure there is a national law about it.

On Hawaii and volcanoes: Too late, guys, it IS erupting... of course, it is a lava volcano, not a blast volcano (i.e. uber-hot dust cloud), and currently is making a new island of Hawaii. Yep, it is still pretty much harmless. No, I will not describe in any manner why it will never doom the hawaiians.

Sort of. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamethrower#Private_ownership) International treaties ban their use in combat, although the US didn't sign any of those treaties. They did, however, stop using them, presumably on the grounds that a missile with pinpoint accuracy launched from a plane miles away was far better than a guy crawling to within fifty meters of the target with a giant can of napalm attached to a squirtgun. :3

Quote
If I recall correctly, flamethrowers are "legal" in all states, but in a handful you need permits (I believe mainly particularly flammable states, like California) to use/own one.
Quote
In the United States, private ownership of a flamethrower is not restricted by federal law, but is restricted in some states, such as California, by state laws (cf. California Health and Welfare Codes 12750-12761, Flamethrowing Devices)
