Do these girls shave?

Muslim girls have been removing pubic hair way before the Europeans even knew what hair was. A muslim girl is like a hundred times more likely to be cleaned up down there than a Euro.

In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice under the Sunan al-Fitra.[18]

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

We need to have a similar mandate in the United States.

[Powerslave]

Maybe the United States need to convert to Islam

[Diunx]

So Wrath how do they feel about Latin Americans over there?

[fistfulofmetal]

i was out shopping for food today. typically i just wander around the general vicinity where my mother is currently shopping. we turned into an isle and encountered two person family, a mother and her daughter. i noticed that the daughter seemed to be looking in my direction but i was mostly oblivious and staring at random foods on the shelves. my eyes did catch hers and we both smiled towards each other. eventually we both moved on.

a little bit later we were at the other end of the store and we crossed paths with the mother from the other family. this time she greeted my mom and they started talking. apparently they knew each other from a long time ago. and apparently the daughter was someone i knew from a long time ago as well. thats why she smiled, she knew me. now her face did seem vaguely familiar to me but for the life of me i couldnt remember who she was.

at this point, a normal person would probably walk over to the daughter and strike up a conversation. find out who she is and how they remember her. possibly exchange pleasantries and maybe even phone numbers so they can catch up.

unfortunately i'm not a normal person. instead i spent the remaining time at the store walking around trying to remember who the daughter was on my own. eventually leaving and never really finding out.


it wasn't until i was walking back into my house when i realized how big of an opportunity i missed.

Secret Life of Fistfulofmetal

[Phoenix Dark]

You shop for food with your mom? Did she drive you home in the backseat afterwords?

[fistfulofmetal]

front seat. i don't drive. only time to replenish my food for the week.

[Powerslave]

You know I actually really hoped your story would have ended on a positive note. Damnit why are there hardly success stories posted on the bore 

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I secretly enjoy failed social interaction stories because I can relate 

[close]

[Phoenix Dark]

Did she hold your hand

It's just odd hearing a story about a grown man shopping with his mother, and eying an allegedly grown woman also shopping with her mother.

[fistfulofmetal]

shopping with a parent is fairly common, PD. it's the perfect activity to spend time with your parent while also being productive.

[lennedsay]

You don't drive? Well that's two rides you won't be giving that girl.

What's sad is that she smiled at you. Anytime I run into someone like that, I completely ignore them. She wanted to jump your socially awkward bone, bro.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I doubt fistful would know what to do in these situations anyway.

[Himu]

Remember these anime shirts in the early 2000's?

[Himu]

Fistful: in those situations just be honest or play it cool. I prefer the play it cool route because that will often lead to a moment where you both don't remember each other, causing a few laughs.

You: Heyyyyyy, It's been a while. When was the last time we saw each other?
Her: blahblahblah
You: cool, we should hang out some time. Got a facebook?

And you can get a potential date out of it too.

I mean, she smiled at you man. Did you smile back? It's not rocket science. It's just natural to smile back when someone smile at you, right?

[Madrun Badrun]

It's just natural to smile back when someone smile at you, right?

NOOOO


 

[Himu]

You have the same problem Mike?

It seems I've found the crux of the problem here: you guys lack confidence, not only in yourselves but just in general.

We need to help you fix that.

[Powerslave]

Father_Mike more like Child_Mike

holy shit himuro is fucking genius!

[Himu]

I am, aren't I?

[Powerslave]

yeeah man, it only took you 5 years to figure it out!

[Himu]

I know, right?

I just imagined that these guys would at least have the common decency to smile back if someone smiled at them. That's beyond "socially distinguished mentally-challenged" and I should know, I have over 30k posts on this board!

[Powerslave]

I usually kick their face in with my steel boots when people smile at me. I thought this was all common behavioral stuff

[Phoenix Dark]

It's just natural to smile back when someone smile at you, right?

NOOOO


 

I just nod my head

[cool breeze]

Being socially distinguished mentally-challenged is the best.  You're the biggest asshole and nicest guy at the same time.

It has nothing to do with confidence, btw.

[Madrun Badrun]

It's just natural to smile back when someone smile at you, right?

NOOOO


 

I just nod my head

ya.  Though sometimes its so slight that I worry that I didn't even do anything.  I always think I should smile back but I don't think about it until after the moment is past.

[Madrun Badrun]

 You're the biggest asshole and nicest guy at the same time.

This is exactly right.

[Powerslave]

I just nod my head

what you meant to say was "I just smh"

[Madrun Badrun]

I just swatted a fly out of the air with my barehand and then when I touched my laptop I got a rather big shock.  Could this be the origin story to my now developing superpowers?

[BlueTsunami]

Fistful, you should have said this

How bout' me, you, my mom and your mom all go out for some drinks later

[fistfulofmetal]

whatevs


edit: i'm still trying to place the face. mind's going through everyone i knew back when i went to catholic school but i just can't seem to nail it down.

[bork]

Remember these anime shirts in the early 2000's?



(Image removed from quote.)

Yeah, there were Samurai Shodown, DBZ, and Spider-Man designs all over the place.

The first time I saw someone wearing one was when a co-worker's friend's boyfriend came into the game store.  He had on one of the Samurai Shodown shirts.  I was a HUGE Neo-Geo nerd at the time and asked him "hey that's pretty cool!  Where did you buy it?"  His response was "I don't tell people where I get my clothes.  Don't want anyone copying me.  "  I found them at Hot Topic shortly after and after looking around that store, decided I didn't want one after all. 

[Diunx]

Can't you just ask your mom?

[Powerslave]

Can't you just ask your mom?

Yeah and while he's at it, he can ask his mom to set up a date between them as well. So easy

[fistfulofmetal]

she already tried but has a shitty memory for everything so all i got was "she was a buddy you knew back in catholic school"

not really helpful.

[Powerslave]

nice guys finish last

mr....'nice' guy

[brawndolicious]

If you don't remember her then just ask ask where do you "remember her from"?  And then just follow through with that trying to understand how cool it would be not to have sex with your dominant hand.  There's not a lot of need for building up confidence or whatever.

So Wrath how do they feel about Latin Americans over there?

Oh we love latino's and latina's over here 

Because they look alike?

[fistfulofmetal]

im not the kind of to-my-self socially crippled person you see holding his arms to his chest and freaked out when anyone walks near me. i'm just oblivious. i don't catch signals or signs. i don't notice other people around me. just wander around in my own world. other than that i'm pretty normal. of course i'd do badly in a romantic situation but thats just due to inexperience. problem is i dont care enough to obtain it.

[Madrun Badrun]

Just had an hour long talk trying to convince my mom that we should get dogs.  It wasn't going so good until I showed her pictures of shiba pups and then it was all like "Ya lets get dogs!" 

[Brehvolution]

They let Rhianna sing that god awful "Rude Boy" song just now on the Nickelodeon kid's choice awards. 

At the end, they played the nuke launch alarm from Modern Warfare2 which played into what I was thinking.

"Nuke that stage from orbit!"

[fistfulofmetal]

do i have to add blu ray access to my netflix account to be able to stream in HD? also is this how you do the whole "instant 1080p" stuff on the 360?

[drew]

just press a for hd streaming

[Powerslave]

just wander around in my own world. other than that i'm pretty normal. of course i'd do badly in a romantic situation but thats just due to inexperience. problem is i dont care enough to obtain it.

yeah enjoy this state of mind while it still lasts

[drew]

have you ever had sex?

people tend to pursue it once theyve had it

[Diunx]

Awesome, all the suddenly firefox stopped saving my session, firefox support forums aren't helping looks like I'm goig back to opera

[Diunx]

Rocky V is on TCM!!!

"We are changing, we are turning into...regular people"

Best movie ever

[fistfulofmetal]

ah i see. some movies are HD, some aren't

watching Mongol now

[ch1nchilla]

Dinner last night went well, her family is super friendly and we had a fun dinner. Then went clubbing and spent too much money. But that's the way it usually goes, it seems. Freezing and miserable today in Tokyo.

[Boogie]

sex is dangerous yo

well, i can agree with that at least.

[elektrikluv]

Because they look alike?

Yep and because Latina's have big asses, arabs love big asses.

In google trends, the countries that have most searched 'ass':

1) Morocco
2) Egypt



I've never met a latina with a big ass (and there were a lot at my catholic secondary school). Maybe the ones that migrate to England have small asses, because they're shunned in their homeland!

Do you consider yourself to have a big ass?  Maybe you should post a pic so we can unbiasedly judge it.

She's posted several pictures and your post is creepy.

Its big, yes. And no, I will not post pictures to be 'judged'. Creepy.

Nena, muestranos ese culo.

[The Fake Shemp]

Miracles do exist.

I had to do a clean install on my laptop a few weeks ago, and moved YEARS of writing onto a USB flash drive - which my brother inadvertently put into the washer and dryer... twice.

I do not know how the data survived, but it has and now it smells like springtime breeze.

[Ichirou]

Copy all that porn....errrr...'years of writing'...to another drive, stat.

[The Fake Shemp]

Who downloads porn these days?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Besides, I don't think a 1GB flash stick would be large enough.

[The Fake Shemp]

You're Saudi, right?

[The Fake Shemp]

Okay, just putting my list together.

[Diunx]

Who downloads porn from ares? who downloads anything from ares?
