Let's just be honest...I've downloaded a ******** of porn

[clenny]

let it be known

if you have any type of serious relationship, she'll eventually stumble across the fact that you watch porn. Might as well let it be known. Then you can tell her you cleaned out the files best you could out of respect for her but she might run across some hidden files you didn't know to delete. Maybe there will be some gnashing of teeth and such but most women come to the realization that men are pigs and their civilizing effect only goes so far. I agree with the lady that said you must be young. You didn't say but I wonder if there's a religious overtone here? She'll get over it and/or she'll try to pray you out of it. I doubt there will be an ultimatum. In short, you're going to have to man up about it eventually; why not now?

Lol - if she is an IT Major I would be doing a whole new clean install with a new HD

I'd go one better ..... REMOVE THE PORN LADEN HARD DRIVE

Install a NEW DRIVE and do a fresh install !!!!

This is why its a good idea to install the OS on an external drive .... boot from that drive and go watch the porn .... when you're done shut down and disconnect the drive !!!!

This thread is such a waste of everyone's time.

And you're wasting your time by telling us that. Irony is fun, isn't it?

 

[tooz]

it's pretty easy.
first, find any files that are still around and stick them in the trash, then "secure empty trash".
next, fire up disk utility, go to your hard-drive and hit "erase free space"
this will make impossible to recover the files, (unless she is CIA )
next time, store it all in an encrypted disc image, or watch it with safe browsing.

Dude's, this is not about porn its about personal freedom! He needs to take her hand off his balls and understand he can do wth he wants with his life, forget the sneaky hidin stuff

Ha! You're obviously single, a newlywed or unattached.

Do not listen to this fool! One does not piss off the Mrs.

Porn is a good outlet to let off some steam (did I say it right?) I mean, what would you women rather have? Your guy hitting it off with other women or be faithful and watch some porn instead?

Some women actually consider it cheating if their boyfriend/husband watches porn.

Of course, some women actuyally enjoy watchign porn with their boyfriend/husband.

THe trick is to find out which kind she is before she finds your porn.

 

[devburke]

What does THAT have to do with the effects that porn has on anyone regardless of his/her worldview?

Didn’t mean any offense

I was just saying so because every time I’ve heard someone talk about why porn is evil and stuff and you need it out of your life before it consumes you, that someone has been a super-religious Christian organization. Again, not saying anything about your average Christian, only a comment on some of the more intense, Evangelical ones.

I realize I’m walking on touchy ground here, but I don’t mean to say anything bad about anyone

My opinion

Well Bro,

you have a real problem in, er, on your hands. My advice is that if you wish to continue with this girl, buy her her own Mac, and never give up your passwords. No telling what she may find that you have forgotten about.

Besides, why is she so curious about YOUR Mac anyway? She may be on to you already.

I am sweating and having palpitations for you.

sek

....and now my girlfriend, who is an IT major, wants to use my computer to "learn" how to do data recovery on Macs.

So, the question is: how the **** do I delete any traces of websites viewed and porn downloaded before I give my laptop to her?

I'm talking temporary files, db files, caches, the works - everything. This bitch is gonna tear my **** up if she catches me looking at porn.

I've reset Safari and deleted all porn from my computer, but there's still got to be files that show I've viewed porn right? How the **** do I get rid of those?

I'm on 10.6.

Thanks for helping a brother out!

 

[scottkifnw]

Ouch

The pain.

Really, and seriously, communication is key. Boundaries are essential. What did you guys decide on or discuss? Do you really want to put yourself in a situation where you have to be the police officer to your mate?

A bit of honesty would relieve the stress you both are obviously feeling.

Hey,
this seemed like the right place to post this!

I am a IT major and I'm about to borrow my boyfriends computer for file recovering.
He will surely try to delete his HD so I won't find out that he is surfing porno - how can I recover those files anyway?

 

[djrod]

Drop the mac and buy another one, it's the safest

 

[devburke]

I think you should take the complete opposite approach. Completely overload it with porn! Your user icon? Porn! Your desktop background? Porn! The videos in your iTunes library? Porn! Your Movies folder? Porn! Your iPhoto library? Porn! Your pictures folder? Porn! Your iMovie library? Porn! Your homepage? Porn! Your bookmarks? Porn! Your RSS feeds? Porn! Your Top Sites? Porn! Custom icons? Porn! Your iCal events? Watching porn! The last text entered into Spotlight? “Porn”! The last thing you looked up in Dictionary.app? Porn! DVD left in the computer? Porn! Recent items? Porn! Name of your HD? “Porn Storage”! Username? “Porn Man”! Photo Booth? Hilariously distorted porn!

It would be funny! Or, alternatively, it would mask all your porn as just part of the joke!

this is hilarious and it gets my vote!

I mean, it's probably what she is looking for anyway. It's like the ultimate double-bluff!

There is no better solution to the problem of a nosy significant other than to plant something 10 times worse than they anticipate finding. With this in mind, the answer to your problem is:

download a bunch of gay porn

"hide" it in a folder where this "IT major" will find it but think you tried to hide it from prying eyes.

after finding it, she'll be so embarrassed/conflicted and until that point, she thought you only swung her way. She'll wish she never started poking around in your business. You can reveal your plan at a later date over drinks!

 

[sdsvtdriver]

Best thread ever!

OP, tell her the truth: Either she will surprise you and show you her freaky side or you will get to see the true evil within and decide if you want to keep her around. Better to find out now than loose half your stuff to her in a few years. Or if you have the $$$ buy her her own macbook!


If you choose to get rid of your collection (NNNNoooooooo!!!) than you can use a guide put together by Phoenix local radio station www.98kupd.com called the "Pause & Toss" specifically for dudes that have women that will not allow porn. These are the movies you can display in your movie collection and not have people know the real reason you own it.... for the great, non-porno, porno scenes ! Watch the collection grow and play along at home. They ask every celebrity that they interview which movies to include.

This sounds like something Fitz would come up with.

If he does that he wont be having motions because his mbp will be shoved up his ass lol

How about this, normally the ones who are insecure/jealous are the ones who are banging your best mate............. just to make things worse

 

[bigandy]

Quite frankly, I'm shocked and disgusted that you lot still count your collections in Gigabytes.


7 erase of the whole drive pass is suitable. Or a new hard drive and a clean install. Or a Mac off eBay for her.

Or the easiest solution, mentioned several times - tell her. It might work out well*.



* And by well, I don't mean Two Girls One Cup Live.

You know what will be even more hilarious? If his girlfriend accidentally finds this thread.
