Don't be hard on RunSick, he's just been living too long in a place where concepts like romance and machismo don't exist. They've been replaced by weak men with too much money who pay slave labour to build their disposable monuments to chest-thumping, who think it's ok to beat their women (as long as it doesn't leave a mark). Where the epitome of male toughness is who can rev their Range Rover the loudest on Al Wasl on a Thursday night. Where the idea of romance is a generic nightclub populated by bored Uzbekistan hookers being leered at by greased-hair impotent Lebostanis.
I doubt he would recognize anything described in the original post.
