Pallando will return in "Never Say Never Again"

[Flannel Boy]

It's all about online dating without the actual online dating website.

It is. I must learn your secret.

[CajoleJuice]

Yes, I know I stole your post. I just wanted to be a dick.

[Flannel Boy]

I'm going to steal your girl. She on my home turf, god damn it.

[Flannel Boy]

Or you hook me up with her chubby friend.

[Phoenix Dark]

This is a baseball post, isn't it

[FatalT]

Okay I'm done sleeping around. It was a fun month but I can't handle NSA sex. I'm sticking with one special girl now who I've been talking to, going to the movies with, having dinner with, and hanging out with since October. I've already met her parents and they approve.

[Flannel Boy]

******** explained her answer publicly

Q: Do you believe in ghosts?

A: Yes

Explanation: “i've been visited by the ghost of kitties past, so i kind of have to believe.”

 

These are the types of women who reject me.

[Barry Egan]

keep in mind that if you're expecting a rational dating market, you're the analogue to whatever Libertarians are to economics.   

[Flannel Boy]

The market has decided I lack lure. 

Time to give new dates gold.

[demi]

This girl is fucking awesome, she's a BBW with a really cute face, long wavy brown hair, and glasses. She slept over, wants to see me again. Really great personality, also fun to talk to and spend time with - yeah this is pretty awesome

No recording for us?

[hampster]

Past pets never revisted you? Guess they didn't love you that much :'(

[Flannel Boy]

I would have thought that your bed would bounce more frequently than a coupe of times a year with your looks.

[Shadow Mod]

Where does Flannel live?

[Rufus]

Winnipeg.

[Shadow Mod]

Winnipeg.

Oh, that shithole?

[brawndolicious]

You can't survive without a shithole.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

my gf is getting wayyyyyy too attached to me, like constantly texting me and wanting to be with me but all i wnat is some privacy to hang out with people how do i fix this ty lads

[Phoenix Dark]

first gonna need pics, since you're not a gentlemen.

Second just tell her you enjoy being with her but need some space. But don't call her and say it like that. Hang out with her, do something fun, then a couple days later tell her whatever you need to tell her.

[nudemacusers]

i'm so glad i'm married. I feel for you bros out there.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

thanks pd. she's spent like no less than 5 times trying to get me to drive a half hour and pick her up and bring her back to my place. no thnx.

[FatalT]

Nevermind I'm not done being a manwhore.

[Phoenix Dark]

...actually I would have brought her over lol

[Shadow Mod]

Why can't she come to you?

[nudemacusers]

Nevermind I'm not done being a manwhore.

I remember my manslut days. They were fun but troubling.

[Flannel Boy]

my gf is getting wayyyyyy too attached to me

Your first warning occurred when her hand was attached to your penis for an entire hour.

[Shadow Mod]

I haven't been single for a long time. It's probably not so healthy either but whatevs.

[nudemacusers]

Nevermind I'm not done being a manwhore.

I remember my manslut days. They were fun but troubling.

This is how I feel. And they were only fun in the sense that everything seems funner through nostalgia goggles. I remember being miserable a lot of the time. I feel like there was only a total of a few months my entire life where I actually enjoyed being single.

yeah pretty much. chasing skirts (and mostly failing) is a lot of work and depressing as fuck.

I get my kicks now by encouraging bad, reckless behavior in my single friends.

Single manslut days were terribly depressing for the most part.  There's countless threads and posts on this forum about it from me.  lulz.  I've told my wife that if we end I'm not jumping back into the dating world.  Hookers and video games.  Fuck dating.

[nudemacusers]

Dude if I get divorced I'm probably going gay. I don't know how to talk to women anymore.

[Mupepe]

   I don't think I ever knew.  I just had a routine that worked often enough for my liking.  And now that I don't try to sleep with women and I talk to them like human beings I get flirted with a lot.  But I bet if I was to ever try to act on one of those flirtations I'd turn into a bumbling fucking mess.  No thanks.  Don't need that kind of stress.

[nudemacusers]

Why does trying to sleep with women != talking to them like human beings?

nah, it's more not knowing how to go from A -> B. I have lost that skill.

[Mupepe]

because I don't think straight when I'm thinking with my dick?  I tend to treat them like an object when I think of them as an object.

I don't have the skill to go from A -> B either, it just happens. My main gripe is going from B -> C.

B -> C is easy. Ignoring B and going straight to C, I've found, is even easier. Just grab it.

[nudemacusers]

I can't think of any.

[Shadow Mod]

Ooof. Spoiled rich girl? Does she have a maid?

[Steve Contra]

And if yes, are you doing the maid yet?

[nudemacusers]

can I send her my beautifulpeople.com profile?

[Flannel Boy]

Ooof. Spoiled rich girl? Does she have a maid?

Two. Her mother bought her a car on a whim today when she barely uses the one she already has.

[tiesto]

Girl came over last nite and she cooked for me <3

I showed her some DDS2 and she actually understood wtf was going on. When I finally found a savepoint she was like "watch, right before you get to it you're gonna get into a battle!". She is not much of a gamer but she does know of KH and doesnt mind that I'm into them... and even though she doesn't like a lot of edm she is still willing to hear my sets...

[demi]

tounge punch her fart box and put a ring on it, tiesto. you aint getting any younger.

[Phoenix Dark]

what did she cook, and did you help?

[Groogrux]

Random thought: When some people are scouting their potential partners out, many people worry too much about having the same hobbies or similar musical tastes or liking the same TV shows... But for the most part how many of us like the same music we liked 10 years ago, or are still into the same hobbies? These things are all very much on the surface of who we are.

It's more important to find a person who shares your values. When we can manage that, everything else becomes easier.

[Reb]

My girl has shit music taste and doesn't care about games.

She does comment on my Binding of Isaac goings on sometimes though.

I think that's partly an age thing. Lots of people tend to define themselves over stuff they like, especially when they are younger. And liking the same stuff just makes it easier to socialize together, be it music or other hobbies. This plays a lesser role when you're older and less about getting to know knew stuff or seeing the newest bands or whatever and more about settling down and finding your place in life. In fact I think after some time it's good to have some interests that are different between you and your partner because being together all the time drives almost anyone mad.

In the long term values (and matching personalities) definetely trump common interests, no doubts about that.

Very true. My wife really doesn't enjoy half the entertainment I do, but why would I care? We do have, however, the same overall goals in life and share a pretty close set of values. I think I consciously set out to find someone like that, I think it would get kinda old to have someone that was into the same stuff I was.

This is the sort of relationship advice every poor sap needs.  I'd put 5-6 things above shared interests for the health of a long term relationship.

[CajoleJuice]

Yeah but Roger Ebert said to never marry someone who doesn't like the same movies as you, guys.

And now he's dead

Why'd you have to go and say that?

too far bro

[Mr. Gundam]

My wife and I like a lot of the same music and movies, but she doesn't give a shit about games or giant robots. I don't think I could've dated/married someone who liked all the same things as me.

[Shadow Mod]

You can find stuff that overlaps. Introduce your partner to new shit. Definitely need something to talk about. I'd say having a similar core philosophy is more important than specific interests at this point since a good partner will sometimes tag along even if they're not super into it. But if you're not on the same page about how you want life to be, what's the point of shared interests.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'll never understand some people's obsession with determining their mate based on the acceptance of all their hobbies. Honestly it's not a concept I was familiar with until I ventured on GAF a decade ago and saw people saying if a woman didn't appreciate the art of videogames, or anime etc they couldn't date them.

I can think of a host of values I'd want a girlfriend or wife to have, and they all revolve around being a decent person - and the same ideals and standards I hold myself to. Does she treat people with respect, is she trustworthy, would she make a good mother (regardless of whether we plan on having kids or not), etc. And then there's stuff like: is she funny/decent sense of humor. Sure I'd like to meet someone who shared some hobbies or interests like reading, some types of music, etc. But if she's not into politics or sports I'm not going to be like "too bad, we can't be together."

Although I suppose I couldn't date a woman who liked Jay-Z more than Nas...

Big Pimpin is a better song than anything Nas ever wrote.
