Your advice is just about 100% wrong. Men who do what you say are going to be seen as boring at best, creepy stalkers at worst.
Remember that just like men, women are attracted to what they can't easily obtain. Walking up to her like the Wuss of the Year and gushing about how wonderful she is is guaranteed to lead to disastrous failure. "Nice guys" always do this stuff, though...and that's why they always lose. ;)
OK, why is this thread 900 posts long? Did someone mention cheese-eating stuned møøse-biting beebers, or what?
It's a good thing there are holidays year 'round, or I might have to actually deal with it.
This thread's still going?!
Wow!
Something like that.
Also there were the moonpies and beer somewhere around the 600 mark...
Oh, man, I'd kill for a moonpie right about now. ^^
*misses Tennessee*
Morning, Rosie!
God lord!
Do you people ever sleep!?!
Post-election, people are tired of talking about politics, and would rather construct this do-it-yourself soap opera, instead. ;)
Hello, again.
never! LOL
You must be able to get lots of other good things, though! You're in Norway, your profile says?
I lived in Germany for four years, and though it's good to be back...sometimes I'd kill for some good German food! It just ain't available in rural Vermont!
Sleep is highly overrated.
I just got back from the Philippines last month. I got my Filipina. I am just waiting on the visa to be approved, so she can come to Calfornia. I told her to always remember she is a Filipina, which it why I chose her. The typhoons and earthquakes all came after I left. My long range plan, is to live in the Philippines. The dollar goes a long way, plus she is slowly teaching me to speak Tagalog. It is not easy, but I am making progress.
900 some-odd replies, I'd say this is an issue for most people.
What I see as having happened in the past 30 years or so is the growth of mutual selfishness among men and women.
Gender and culture once gave rule and direction to the participants.
When the feminazis came along and made believe that this 'rule' was on-sided they created an imbalance that causes most of the trouble today.
The fact is that 50 yrs ago, when a girl turned up pregnant TWO people were "in trouble" .
50 yrs ago a man, to BE a'Man', had to conduct himself with respect to women in certain ways that LIMITED (ruled)his nature directed impulses. A man OWED a woman something.
If a lot of men are creeps (and something damn near a majority of them are)thanks to the feminazis they owe NO ONE any thing.
Where as today as well as 50 yrs ago a woman had to be damn careful in who she chose, men today are running into woman who have read the magizine articles, seen Oprah, internalized their rubbish and present it to a man on dates and such as aspects of their personalities or.
I met a nice woman , 30, sweet and attractive who had made a chump of herself with her previous long term moron and she had in the intrim between he and me decided she would draw lines (the violation of which she apparently decide had gotten her into 'trouble' with the idiot).
What I saw was flashes of the real her alternating with a bitch. She was never nasty and I doubt that she was aware that I was aware of what was going on, but understanding didn't mitigate my dislike of someone I went to trouble to see and spend time with treating me, at times, the way an entire stranger might.
I stopped calling her.
Her problem was that SHE DIDN'T CUT THE JACK-ASS LOOSE WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE.
The correct thing to do, for anyone, is to be yourself and take your chances. Girls are vulnerable in certain ways as are boys. These ways differ and aren't 'fair' but no amount of 'creating the new me' is going to iron that out.
I honestly think 'relations' between the sexes has found it's mean level.
Everyone is covered in scabs and determined not to get anymore. Why they don't just stay home and read a book is beyond me.
Want to have their cake and eat it too, I suppose.
My honey is from Southern Batangas, where is yours from? They survived the latest round of typhoons.
Yes, I am intimately familiar with the geography ans I know where Roblon and Palawan are. My honey wants to live in her province of Batangas, as long as it is not close to her relatives. I said that is fine with me. How are your language skills coming? It is a hard language, but I learn a little at a time. I have her on instant messaging, as we speak.
That is good, you were able to learn Tagalog. I guess if you can do it, I can do it too. Did you pick up a lot by watching TV, or simply by being exposed to it all the time? When you go to Palawan, you will be exposed to it again, unless they speak something other than Tagalog there.
