well zigman actually has a good point. when donating blood (at least where i am) they allways check for sti's and the such as they wouldnt give out blood to patients with HIV in it. apparentyl they send u a letter saying they found things in your blood and you should see a doctor (read that in a magazine). so all ugotta do is ask if she ever dontes blood (if not neg op aswell). if its ur gf then say ur mate lost a family member this day and u gotta donate blood and u want her to come and save 3 lives aswell

i just ask strait up "do you have any STDs or anything?" but thats probably because i can to be blunt.

that and if she says no and you get something form her you can sue for lots of money.

but i always use condoms. so no worries.

I hate to be a dick, but lately that's what I'm good at. that depends on the keyboard layout you're using. If you're using a US-DORVAK keyboard right/left depending on your dominant hand, then yes, it is much easier. However, even a US-QWERTY keyboard doesn't make all US English words easier to type...

The positioning of the keys was set that way so that the most commonly used keys were spaced apart, so a typewriter wouldn't get stuck as often.

lol, you better believe im going to fight back for this.. I've never been more passionate about anything in my entire life. Sry for getting off topic rye, but this is personnal now..



Ok, in the example of 'rite' versus 'right' in 'rite' there are 4 clusters of keys involved. each of the keys required an extra movement because of their positioning being too far apart. whereas 'right' has 3 clusters, one for the R one for the I and one for the ght. Making it faster to type. In the issue of 'dat' versus that the positioning of d, a and t means the awkward strokes take longer, each have 3 clusters.. this one is open for debate.

What a title!

Are you kidding me? Honestly, wtf? Who cares about keyboard spacing, if you'll want to be power nerds then a PUA forum is NOT the place! I'm here to learn and discuss the techniques for attracting and closing desirable women, that's the thing I'm most passionate about.

On that note, don't mind me as I forcefully drag this thread back on topic...

While it's true that someone could have an STI and not know about it, talking about the issue is really the best you can hope to do. Of course you should always have safe sex, but if you are really that concerned then there is nothing wrong with slowing down the sex portion and building enough comfort and attraction for the two of you to go get tested together.

If you want to go that route then you are really building towards an LTR. If that's what pick up is to you then go for it!
