So therefore why bring this up with some girl you like the look of? Not only is it a compromise of your own integrity but your judging the girl already on the assumption she's interested in gossip rags on no basis whatsoever.

Cool, do that then, at least its more authentic to who you are.

Why does it have to be so extreme. Have you thought about just bringing up the weather or something the girl is wearing that's sparked your interest. You don't have to talk about your favourite French film director straight away.

What a contradiction. By your own admission celeb gossip isn't a interest of yours so how would it even be common ground? Having polar opposite interests is perfectly acceptable, maybe your missing this point?

I would agree and would also say that when I've been in these situations never once was the common ground found in trivial celeb gossip.

So you compromised your own values on something you openly eschewed at the behest of garnering female attention. This makes you sound like a pussyhound.

Its neither of those things. It's nonsense.

How? It's a lie, you will get found out and you will look stupid.

Unfortunately there's a mountain of guys that will eat this shit up in an effort to get the glorious prize of the golden diamond encrusted vagina.
