Should I be upset that my fiance is watching a video of how to pick up women?
He said he found it on "the onion" (website). There is a guy that is an expert pick up artist. My fiance is glued to his tv and says "he can’t believe this idiot". The guy is somewhat attractive and dresses a bit alternatively.
Why is he interested in this? And if he is honest when he says "I can’t believe it"… why is he so superficial on how he looks?
Once I think that I’ve figured the male species out.. it proves that I’ve been horribly wrong.
**He is glued to his computer..not tv.
The Onion is a comedy site. It’s a parody of a newspaper. Watching that video is about the equivilent of watching a routine about picking up girls on Saturday Night Live: it’s a joke, and he finds it funny.
I wouldn’t worry about this unless you find him watching a serious instruction tape on the subject.

i would be!
he doesnt need to learn how to pick up women anymore he’s getting married!

No, you should be more concerned that he’s finding guys attractive. I suggest reconsidering the wedding.

At least he was honest with you about what he is doing. Maybe he was curious. If you haven’t seen him try anything then why make a big deal. He is the one that asked you to marry him right? I wouldn’t worry right now. If there’s a change in him later, then worry.

What’s wrong with checking out something strange on the internet? And by the way, just for your information, there’s a whole reality tv show dedicated to teaching males how to be a pick up artist.
Perhaps your fiance is just in awe that someone could be that weird.
Why are you so untrusting of a man you have dedicated your life to and promised to marry? If you don’t trust him, you should have said no when he asked.

dont be upset my guy and i watch porn and s*** couples usually disprove of together at least he is not hiding it

It’s just a show. Why do people get sooo upset about watching a show? Don’t blow it out of proportion.
Is he taking notes? Then you might have a problem
References :
it sounds like he’s watching the site like people watch car wrecks; they just can’t tear themselves away from the horror.
i watch military movies for the same reason. i was in teh military and i love nothing better than to tear apart movies that don’t use proper military speak, rank, etc.
of course, if he’s taking notes, that’s another story…

I don’t know his motivations for watching the video. Do bear in mind, though, that nothing about The Onion is intended to be serious. So if your guy is looking for new tricks on such a video, you must have said ‘yes’ to a rather dim bulb.
Chances are it’s evidence of a weird sense of humor, more than anything else. If he starts dressing like the idiot in the video, though, all bets are off.

Well, I know married women who read books intended for singles like "The Rules." or even look through personals? Why? Strictly for entertainment and laughs. Some personals are hilarious!
Looking at that video doesn’t mean he’s going to put it into practise. If he’s calling the guy an idiot, that’s a sign to me that he doesn’t approve of what the guy is saying. But if you are feeling a bit uncomfortable about him viewing this video, tell him your feelings about it.

I’d be upset. And I would be demanding to know why he needs to watch it. And I would be watching him….very
closely!!
References :
no i think its interesting too bc that guy who call shimself the pick up artist is extremely ugly and i do not understand how he gets girls, im sure ur fiances thinking the same thing too.
References :
No. He probably just found the link and clicked on it because it looked interesting. Now..it’s different if he’s actually implementing the tricks, but I watch all kinds of stuff online that I will never do or use, it’s just for entertainment.

You need to handle your insecurities before you get married. There’s a reality show on VHI about that pick up artist and my husband and I hooked on it. It’s a good show and has some good drama. I think your fiance is just watching it for entertainment purposes.

The Onion?
The Onion is a parody newspaper with a strong tradition of rarefied comedy. Among its headlines:
FDA Approves Seconds
Al Gore Caught Warming Globe To Increase Box Office Profits
Bill Of Rights Pared Down To A Manageable Six
Suffice to say, if your husband begins turning to The Onion for *advice* on this sort of thing, your concern should be with his mental wellbeing, not his fidelity. In the meantime, I beg of you all, develop a sense of humor. Why should she be worried about this?! It doesn’t need explained away, it needn’t be just for curiousity; it’s a bloomin’ joke! Assertions that our plaintiff should be upset at this are akin to saying he’s becoming a born-again Christian by watching Sam Kinison tapes.

You need to have a serious eye to eye conversation. This is not good.
