Editor of the Month: Pavlove

[gagTake]

Here at GirlsAskGuys, we love reading all of the myTakes, opinions, and questions our users contribute to the site! We have also created an awesome team of GAG Editors who consistently share creative, personal, and engaging myTakes about topics our users love to read.

To show how much we appreciate all of the hard work of our GAG Editors, we will be selecting an Editor of the Month going forward. These editors have been dedicated to sharing quality myTakes, questions, and opinions throughout the month, while interacting with other users on GirlsAskGuys.

Though it's hard to pick simply one editor each month, we are excited to announce that @pavlove has been selected as our new Editor of the Month! Based out of the United States, @pavlove has been a GirlsAskGuys member since 2009 and is also a Guru Xper Level user. He covers a wide variety of topics on the site, including Dating and Behavior!

@pavlove thank you so much again for all of your hard work, and we hope you enjoy your $25 Amazon gift card!

Check out some of @pavlove's myTakes below and stay tuned for more to come!

Thanks @BellePepper.
At this point, I'm gonna ask you to bring a competition into the foray instead of just deciding who the Editor of the month is. I'm sorry to say but I did read better Takes from other editors here. That take on Donald Trump was just a comment dumpster. It has just one like, from god knows who, from the hundreds of opinions there. I'm sorry this just seems ridiculous.

[9mfeo]

It's not even like his takes are well-written. They're full of run-on sentences, grammatical and logical errors amd are just plain drivel.

[Chief16]

@9mfeo that and there are way better takes out there. Seems like most of the blokes cheering on our guest of honor are genuinely sentimentaly dislike women or just have low self esteem.

[9mfeo]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[9mfeo]

No. He writes the worst possible drivel. He thinks a woman wearing sweatpants means that she wants to fuck. I can't imagine why anyone would think his takes are worthwhile or based on good advice.

[musicbrain5]

That sounds like some RooshV bullshit.

[9mfeo]

@musicbrain5 he wants to write for Return of Kings. What else do you expect?

[9mfeo]

@LoveYouMeanIt you should find his comment on @BellePepper's comment illuminating.

[musicbrain5]

Interesting. GAG would probably promote a MyTake from someone who says they want to post it on Stormfront too.

[9mfeo]

@musicbrain5 I wouldn't be surprised.

[jjmarvin]

I want to bang my head against the wall when he talks about how each gender should act and his sociopathic dating advice. I literally cannot understand the pua mentality on this site.

[9mfeo]

@jjmarvin and get this - Pavlove thinks he's a feminist.

[jjmarvin]

Lol ok now you're messin with me

[9mfeo]

@jjmarvin no, I have the screen shots to prove it.

[SecretScout]

This is just proof that GaG's "quality content" is only based on traffic. Pavlove has been chosen because he writes regularly, being able to write a semi-comprehensive piece on a regular basis is the ONLY thing that makes you Editor, the fact he's a wannabe Pick Up Artist who wants to write for a Pro-Rape site and who writes guides to how to coerce women into sex, how to label people as 'down to fuck' based on the trousers they wear, the fact he's not bright enough to see how dangerous his opinions are... it's just disgusting that you've chosen him as editor, let alone awarded his misguided efforts.

@GirlsAskGuys I think the community of GaG deserve an answer, I think you need to justify yourselves because this is WRONG. By doing this you're showing support for Pavlove's approach to women and encouraging others to listen to him. The boundaries of consent should not be blurred. People should not have assumptions made about their sexuality based on their leisure wear. They should not be taught that No often means Yes. GaG needs to take some fucking responsibility and stop pushing shit, damaging content so it gets more traffic. Stop hiding behind the idea of freedom to express opinions when you remove so many a day because they are offensive or antagonistic.

[Stacyzee]

Congrats pav.

But what about the other editors including myself (first ever of 2016), we don't get a gift card?

I really dislike that Gag does what's suitable for them without taking into account the fairness of others.

[laurapalmer]

It's editor of the month. They're gonna pick one person a month to recognize.

[Stacyzee]

Yes, I received 1,000 xper points but how is that any comparison to a 25 dollar gift card?

Gag, please stop tweaking.

[Stacyzee]

@laurapalmer that's most definitely not my point.

[LoveYouMeanIt]

@Stacyzee I completely understand where you are coming from! I can see how the question of fairness arises with the gift card, but this is actually our first Editor of the Month feature. In the past, we featured Editors of the Week and awarded each editor 1000 Xper points when selected. Going forward, we will be featuring an Editor of the Month and will award each editor a $25 gift card.

There will be more ways to earn Xper points outside of the Editor series, so stay tuned for those!

[laurapalmer]

Sorry it just sounded like you were complaining about not getting a gift card

[Stacyzee]

@LoveYouMeanIt New system again? Okay , gotcha. I just hope this one stays.

[Stacyzee]

Just wondering , does each editor get to win only once? Or can they win again?

[pavlove]

@Stacyzee You were Editor of the Week not Editor of the Month (I was actually the first one... which is why you specify of 2016.) Two things to take away from this--First, I was the first ever Editor of The Week when they invented the concept they also chose me as the first recipient which is in the take they published announcing Editor of the Week was going to be a thing. Second, this should be good news to you because as you were chosen second (i believe) after me then it would follow that you will get chosen as the second Editor of the Month. So sit tight and be happy that we editors are getting more and more recognition as the people who provide actual content to the site (as opposed to mods who just report) even though it's me paving the initial path you are an important part of the editors journey

[LoveYouMeanIt]

Each editor can only win Editor of the Month once per year. Though you have been selected as Editor of the Week already, you are still eligible to be chosen as Editor of the Month in the future :)

Also, this may not apply to you necessarily, but anonymous articles do not contribute to the selection process - For example, if an editor wrote 10 myTakes one month and 9 were anonymous, only 1 would factor into the selection, since we include links to the myTakes in the announcement post. You have a lot of awesome myTakes, so be sure to keep it up!! ;)

[Stacyzee]

@ pavlove They're not choosing in any specific order.
Although you were first in your original year , keep in mind I was not an editor then (so less competition = more chance to soar through ). I am an advocate of fairness. Now that I understand there is a system change once again, I completely comprehend why the rewards were different :)

[Stacyzee]

@pavlove

[Stacyzee]

@pavlove congrats on your winnings as stated once before. You post take after take , so I knew you were lined up.

[Stacyzee]

@LoveYouMeanIt Thanks. I'll definitely try but being as I'm so busy now with work , school and a small kid it's actually harder to post takes as frequently as I did before. I just hope when I'm ready to dish out good read after good reader , editor of the month isn't a discontinued feature by then.

[Stacyzee]

*good read

[BellePepper]

That would mean GaG would have to be fair and stop recognizing people who want to write for pro-rape sites though, @Stacyzee

That's not going to happen!

[LoveYouMeanIt]

@BellePepper We appreciate articles from both a male and female perspective, and we understand that both sexes may not agree on the same opinions - However, I can promise you that GAG does not support people who would write for pro-rape sites.

[9mfeo]

@LoveYouMeanIt wrong. @Pavlove wants to write for Return of Kings and you promote his content.

[BellePepper]

@LoveYouMeanIt You absolutely do and are. Pavlove has straight up said he tries to write for Return of Kings which is the website run by Roosh V aka the guy who tried to organize meetings for guys to talk about how rape should be legal.

I have the screenshot https://oi67.tinypic.com/2earl6x.jpg

And link to prove it.
www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a11385-men-improve-your-sex-game-x100-in-five-minutes-part-2-revenge-of

You have chosen to not only ignore the concerns that MANY users brought up last time Pavlove's work was endorsed by this website but you have also PAID him to write about how to rape people.

[Scrambledagain]

@BellePepper can you send me a screen shot where Pavlov directly or indirectly advocates rape? Those links don't show me anything? Return of kings is a pick up site by roosh yes. But can you send me possibly a screen shot of roosh advocating rape? I want to see where all this is coming from. So far, from your screen shots, I don't see anything wrong?

[BellePepper]

@Scrambledagain are you an idiot? Are you incapable of reading? Did you miss the multiple international news stories about Roosh V's legal rape meet ups? He was actually banned from entering Australia (YOUR COUNTRY) because they didn't want him coming to advocate for legal rape. HOW DID YOU MISS THIS?

[Scrambledagain]

@BellePepper no I saw that. But somebody who believes the media over facts? I'm not fighting im. just saying, bring me the proof without media intervention. I want to see a screen shot of these said rape groups. Rape is a massive word that is overused sometimes and to tag Pavlov or gag with it is unfair without evidence. So unless you can bring me 3 things, you have no leg to stand on: 1) where does Pavlov advocate rape? 2) evidence that roosh advocates rape (no media please... I want to see it from roosh) and 3) how you accuse Pavlov of advocating rape because he wants to possibly write for that blog? Like I wouldn't think that' if a girl wrote for Cosmo magazine that she would do all that crazy sex stuff they advocate?

[BellePepper]

@Scrambledagain Are you serious? Not one but SEVERAL news outlets lying is more likely to you than the guy who writes things like "the pickup bible".
media2.giphy.com/media/Fml0fgAxVx1eM/giphy.gif

[Scrambledagain]

@BellePepper well Several media sites in Europe claim America are the devil. Some media sites say communism is better than democracy. I would be very careful in believing the media. That said, I will go check the site out and see if there is any rape groups k. Will find the evidence myself

[SecretScout]

@LoveYouMeanIt yes you do, you blatantly do and it's ignorant and dishonest to claim you don't. Are you dishonest or are you choosing to be ignorant?

[SecretScout]

@Scrambledagain you need to check out RooshV's website, he now claims the article was satire but that's only since so many countries have tried to ban him that he's been backtracking.

[pavlove]

@Stacyzee Again, I have to point out the fact that it clearly isn't random. They choose the editors out of a pool therefore once you get chosen i won't be of that pool since I've already gotten it, while i was chosen out of a pool that did include you. You choose to make it competitive and since you have i have to point out the flaws in logic. We don't have to make it competitive however if you don't take it there.

[Stacyzee]

@pavlove I doubt they would choose me as editor of the week in January, only to select me 2 months later as Editor of the month.
I'm not in the "pool" if I have not been posting as frequently as I used to. I really think their selection more as to do with who posts the most frequently rather than the content itself. In that aspect, of course I am no competition compared to you.
Please, do not take insult to my response to you, I only responded back to you in the manner I interpreted your message. For some reason, I felt you were painting the message that you are somehow superior. If that's not the impression you meant to give off, then my apologies. It's difficult at times to know someones intentions in a cyberworld that is impersonal (in the aspect that I cannot see you face to face, or hear your voice tone).

[Stacyzee]

Like most of Gag's systems, they found flaw in the editor of the week so they decided to change it. Of course, editor of the week would have fell through the cracks because we only have so much editors here on GAG. What would happen in 3 months time when all editors are selected? They had to change their system. It makes sense to select 12 editors in the entire year.

[pavlove]

I don't believe that who they choose is an indicator of who they find superior, but what i find troublesome is your ego. You seem to really get offended by the thought that they can like me more than you (whoever chooses the editor) that you would assume the reason you weren't picked was because of something that happened months ago when Ellen just started as head of editors/takes.

What i think you need to realize is that no one can judge you or give you value. When/if you get selected it should not make you feel better about what you wrote--how you feel about what you wrote should be all about the message itself and not about you at all. If you feel that you're a significant editor/user on this site, it shouldn't be because others say you are. If it does, you are being controlled, you are at their mercy, you need them to like you to like your work and even if thats only to a small degree, that's pretty sad. I'm not saying not to love the praise but don't build an ego around it

[pavlove]

because as you can see... others can always be chosen for things you feel you deserve. At present you could not be editor of the month for months and then maybe they'll discontinue it. Then you'll make an excuse as to why that is and i find that problematic.

[Stacyzee]

@pavlove Where is this coming from? The only thing I mentioned here, is wanting to know why the prizes were different.
Editor of the Month isn't a badge that's going to make me rich, I am more focused on my future than about a rapid change GAG made. I've been writing since I was a teen, so whether GAG chooses me or not is irrelevant. It isn't their way of saying someone is better than who. This isn't a competition for favoritism, I seem to think you have that idea. I write for myself because It is something that contents my heart, and many others since I have followers that connect with me through my writing.
Your writings are dished out fast, but aren't as good content wise as mine. I'm not throwing any shade at you, nor was I going to mention this, but it seems as if you're trying to dig where you shouldn't. It's like Rihanna being compared to Whitney Houston vocally. Both are good, but they aren't the same.

[pavlove]

Your writings are dished out fast, but aren't as good content wise as mine.<<<< that's highly subjective.

Me getting chosen before you is objective. It happened that way in reality it isn't my opinion that it happened, it actually happened. Lol no one cares about your shade. You have a very fragile ego and you're showing that now. Get a grip and don't try to diss someone else to make yourself feel better about not getting chosen first or make excuses that about something that happened back in January which doesn't even hold up because i was chosen even before that.

[Stacyzee]

@pavlove Judging by the amount of hate you are getting here, (which I did not even face at all when I won an award), I'd like to say that favor of objectivity is against you at this point
You turned my simple question of me wondering why the awards are different this time around, into a competition of who is better than who.
I could careless about who got chosen first, you're the one that keeps talking about it.
I asked a question, and it was answered by an admin to kill my curiosity.
That is all.

[Righttobeararms83]

Fuck this am I going to get notifications everytime someones take about their period gets promoted.

[DaniJ]

Right? I don't want to have 15 notifications every time I log in and none of them have anything to do with me. Then I have to sort through every single one to see if someone answered one of my questions. Lame...

[Righttobeararms83]

@DaniJ do something @BertMacklinFBI

[BertMacklinFBI]

@DaniJ I feel like the system is still bugged but you can alter what notifications you receive through the settings

[Righttobeararms83]

@BertMacklinFBI could you not just use your influence in the boardroom.

[BertMacklinFBI]

i got nothing

[Righttobeararms83]

@BertMacklinFBI we all know your the big swinging dick on gag. It says so on your profile.

[BertMacklinFBI]

I'll agree to that first part lol

[TheDevilInside]

really? Wow. Quality, man. Gag you're soooo going down if this guy is the best writer you've got.

[CHARismatic110]

It seems to be more about quantity in my opinion.

[TheDevilInside]

True

[BellePepper]

@CHARismatic110 I think you're on to something there.

Congrats @pavlove

So is the Editor of the Week done or...

[LoveYouMeanIt]

@CHARismatic110 - Yes, we will be featuring Editors of the Month going forward :)

[CHARismatic110]

@LoveYouMeanIt cool thanks.

[pavlove]

thanks!

[DarkHumorRUs]

Why was I notified about this shit.

[JudgmentDay]

I was about to ask that same question myself.

[pavlove]

cuz you're my number one fan?

[Dipsy]

So everyone can see the editor of the month? So that person gets more attention, would be nice if it were yourself :P

[DarkHumorRUs]

@pavlove dude you're a god damn editor couldn't you just pick yourself?

[red324]

@JudgmentDay

I know. I like the old version of gag better. It was literally perfect, outdated looking maybe, but it was perfect.

[Dipsy]

@red324 i've only been in gag for a year, but yeah i agree, i liked it more a year ago

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Lol everyone seems to hate on this guy, i still don't know why. Anyways cool stuff brah, that second my_take was too damn funny ahahahaha

[clampfan101]

If @pavlove can make the site stop closing our posts, he jolly well better! 😠

[BellePepper]

An editor is someone who writes a lot of mytakes. He has nothing to do with how the site works.

[clampfan101]

@BellePepper What does he EDIT, then? 😕

[BellePepper]

It's not necessarily that editors EDIT anything. They're just "dependable" MyTake posters. GaG talks more about it here www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a21909-become-an-editor-for-girlsaskguys

[clampfan101]

@BellePepper Well, the title shouldn't be "editor", but something more like "Taker". lol

[BellePepper]

I'm sure GaG has a reason for their choice, but you can leave suggestions here https://www.girlsaskguys.com/contact

[clampfan101]

@BellePepper Thanks.

[ThisDudeHere]

And the point of these nominations is?

[MoreThanFriends]

no... one cares
no... one cares

[MoreThanFriends]

incidentally, am i gonna have to unfollow gag for them to stop showing me this shit?

[xHoneyxBeex]

Hey MoreThanFriends,
You can visit your settings page to disable certain notifications. If you do not want to be notified when a user you follow posts a question or myTake, just uncheck the box for that notification and click "save." :)

[dogbert444]

@xHoneyxBeex I don't think there's an option for turning off notifications of new questions and takes from followers. If there is, I've missed it. I have set the options to the minimum for getting notification of essential events.

[xHoneyxBeex]

@dogbert444 yes, there is. If you look under the "Community" section there is one that says, "Someone you follow asks a question or shares a myTake." That's the one I'm referring to here. If someone no longer wants to be notified when a user they follow posts a question or myTake, they should uncheck that one and click save.

[dogbert444]

@xHoneyxBeex It's unchecked. Has been since just after the change.

[xHoneyxBeex]

@dogbert444 So then you shouldn't be receiving any more notifications for when someone you follow posts a question or myTake. Because I have it unchecked myself and I do not receive those notifications. If you are still receiving them then it's a glitch and I can report it to the development team for you.

[dogbert444]

@xHoneyxBeex So why did this one turn up in my notifications? It isn't something that I'm directly interested in.

[xHoneyxBeex]

@dogbert444 As I said, it could be a glitch. I can report it for you to the development team if you think it's not working properly.

[dogbert444]

@xHoneyxBeex I would be most grateful! Thank you! Take care!

[Starfishlover]

When are you going to make me editor of the month? :(

[WeeGeeTheSecond]

Editor of the month: GET RID OF THE 2 DAY QUESTION LIMIT
