I'm 40, the cute girl from upstairs is 23. When she stopped by to commiserate about loud neighbors, we had a beer, went dancing, and then had sex. Afterward, she seemed weird and left abruptly. I wrote her a note, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but I love you and look forward to seeing you again." She hasn't looked at me since. Where did I go wrong? -- Mr. Neighbor

Grateful as you may be to a girl for having sex with you, it's never a good idea to let on. You could've had a future with her -- the kind 40-year-old guys without handfuls of bling typically have with 23-year-old girls: jump-starting their cars, lugging their couches up four flights of stairs, and maybe catching a little action when there are no hot young guys to be found. You blew it, though, with "I'm a lonely sack of emptiness!" -- which is how "I love you" translates after one beer, one dance, and one roll in the sack. (You say "I love you"; she says "It seemed like a good idea at the time.")

What's a peed nat?

Like,
is it one of those little flys that swarm around if you go in the woods?

[HitmanLV]

I've got the good woman. I'm in no rush to run to the altar, though!

But that's probably another story! ;-)

though me and Mr. Jeeves have considered co-hosting a $ 1,000-a-head weekeend seminar here in Las Vegas to turn Freeper 'nice guys' into more macho, decisive, and uncompromising types. ....what a joke you are!

That's not the BS you were spewing on the thread a couple of days ago. You were trying to convince every one you weren't the macho type that play games with women as Mr. Jeeves seems to be and tried to distance yourself from him.

....but try as you may most of us saw right threw those lies!

Give up trying to convince us woman your anything else!

[wolfcreek]

Maybe the date-rape drug thing but, maybe she's just a "one roll and your out" type woman. Women are indeed strange creatures.

[najida]

~~sigh~~

I feel so much better now.

(can you be addicted to snorting mens pictures?)

[Dashing Dasher]

If you continue to read this thread, you will get very angry and will be in need of adult beverages.

WARNING!!!

[Dashing Dasher]

Yes, but it's not a bad thing.

[HitmanLV]

Earth to Caroline - I explicitly stood up for Mr. Jeeves and vouched for him personally.

The problem, I think, is that you seem to think that being macho, decisive and masculine is somehow inconsistent with not playing games with women.

Those are not inconsistent things.

[PaulaB]

LOL

[EX52D]

LOL...too late for me. :)

[PaulaB]

True...but who never liked a puzzle?

[SweetCaroline]

I'm a hustler

"SURPRISE" "SURPRISE"....not!

The Freeperets had you pegged a long time ago.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Best I could do on short notice. ;)

[najida]

No argument here....just about everything women read about fictional 'heros' are men who are macho, decisive and masculine.

HOWEVER,
They all have a soft gooshy underbelly, want a house full of babies and will kill anyone who even looks at the love of his life cross eyed.

[HitmanLV]

It's a good thing. What's so bad about being a hustler? I'm a hustler in the Nathan Detroit/Sgt Bilko tradition - a proud tradition.

[najida]

Thanks,

What kind of cake do you want? ;)

[HitmanLV]

Yes, I agree with you. And my belly is gooshy. Haha!

All I am saying is that those qualities are not necessarily mutually exclusive, that's all.
