ALL REMOTELY ATTRACTIVE woman today implicitly KNOW they have total assumptive power over most men at any given time
True.
And I'm going to just make it clear that women have no power over me- more clear than ever. A man's libido can definitely be used against him, but a real man is not going to put up with that bullshit. If I were with anyone that tried to pull something like that, it'd be over the second I walked away.
You seem lonely, btw. I guess I'm super fortunate to not know what being lonely feels like because I enjoy being alone so much. Really, all I'd like is a cute friend that wants to have some fun. If I never find that, then eventually I might just have to pay for it. Definitely not ideal, but better than no sex ever. Just a few times would be enough, just for the sake of the experience, since I really don't have much of a desire any more to have someone hang around me constantly.

yES, THIS added Thread IS Needed!! What's her name? :-*
I came to a fairly simple revelation lately. I absolutely
need to have something on my mind at all times or it starts getting to "The Dating Thread" territory. I got very much in a mode I don't like to get in, and throughout the whole thread. I will never again post anything about thoughts of asking someone out before I actually do it, because the whole dialogue just isn't good for your mind. All everyone did was make more nervous.
Just hang onto your pride, snyprrr, and remember to not be too nice to anyone that doesn't blatantly like you. Because they don't deserve it.

You're only nervous because you lack confidence in yourself. Only when you have the belief in yourself will you score a date with a woman. The only one who is under pressure is you and that shouldn't be happening at all.

I meant nervous in a more general sense. I don't lack confidence, either.
And sometimes confidence doesn't really come into play. You might not be able to attract someone if you're just too short, tall, white, black, whatever, no matter how confident you are... I can say that the reverse (women who have been interested in me) didn't seem any more appealing just because they were full of confidence.

But you seem to suffer from some kind of neurosis to where you can't even ask a woman out. The evidence is in your many posts on 'The Dating Thread'. Many times with women, they love a good personality with a great sense of humor. I've come to realization that it's not me but actually with the women I'm pursuing. There's nothing wrong with who I am and I suppose the reason why I'm still single has more to do with my honesty than anything else.

The internet is a strange place. It can make you believe girls like this actually exist:
https://www.youtube.com/v/ljbatdvknzY
I used to wonder if the myth of a guy playing guitar attracts girls is true, and no, it isn't. A girl playing guitar attracts tons of guys (many of her videos have disabled comments because of this). A guy playing guitar is just another of the many guys playing guitar.
Probably 90% of the girls I've known are only interested in parties, clubbing, going to the beach and have no special hobbies or interests and are very boring to talk to. As in, I'd have no interest hanging out with the male equivalent of them. The small percentage of girls that have any common interests with me at all are going to have so many guys chasing them that the competition would be like fighting off an army. I've already experienced this is in real life- they don't even have to be that cute, just not ugly is good enough for this.
I spent the day yesterday with my friend and it's just incredible how the similarities are. We were at Hooters :P (first time he'd been, second time for me) and talking about this girl at my work that used to flirt with us all the time. Anyways, I started to realize how incredibly similar our whole situation is. We're very, very much on the same wavelength. I don't think he's dated anyone either, and he's 23- he's never ever mentioned an ex-girlfriend and I've talked to him a lot over the nearly 2 years I've known him. He's not very big on going out and meeting people and just doesn't go to parties. He has friends that he has gone out and met- the guy at the tobacco store and some guy at the flea market. No girls that I know of.
So we were talking about the girl I was talking about on the other thread and he's just more honest. He doesn't care at all to hang out with her (I wanted us three to hang out together) because they have absolutely nothing in common. Same here. Really, I just wanted to like her and forget that she said she isn't into classical music because there's no singing in it. Or that every time you tell her a simple joke a little kid could understand, she just says, "huh?" This is the best candidate in 3 years? I consider her and this other girl I work with (who my dad recently described as looking exactly like a real life Barbie) friends, and I would never use this word in their face, but... bimbos.
Greg, here's a possible solution: forget about dating and forget about women. You are obviously much more happy being alone and if every woman you end up liking is a bimbo, then this should be a sign or something, right? It means you're not actually ready nor truly want a relationship with a woman right now. It seems you just continue to complain about things that you're actually perfectly fine without. My suggestion is to LIVE YOUR LIFE and forget whether you'll meet a woman or not. Sometimes the most amazing things happen when you least suspect it.

So, really what you're saying is that we should all just become world champion mastribators? (utube it- hilarious!!!)
Come on- we all know what you're really advising when you say that. There is only one other solution... fap fap fap fap...
Greg, AGAIN- you DO NOT "deal with" women because the play guitar or like the same man-thing you do... you deal with women to SAVE YOUR FLIPPIN LIFE- as in, You Fuck Them! to save your life from all this turgidity that we all seem to have here on this semen-backed-up forum.
BEST CANDIDATE?????
Does she have a pussy? Does she make yer dick hard? THAT'S your compatibility right there. THAT'S WHY YOUR "FRIENDS" ARE PEOPLE WITH PENISES!!!!!!!!!!!
gaaaaaah- Greg, I want to shake your shoulders loose-
grrrrrr >:D
HERE'S THE RULES FOR THE WEEK. You know I'll play along with you, so don't back down. ASK AT LEAST ONE GIRL A DAY- go up to her
"Hey, I am really attracted to you. Do you like what you see here?"
"Yea, you're kinda cute, tee hee."
"Wanna go wit me to da _________?" or "Would you kiss me right here?"
"tee hee, ok..."
JUST DO IT GREG
I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO--- THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU ANYMOar!! :laugh:
Here's what I dealt with yesterday:
I told you about the "batshit crazy" lady- hot milf lady that's just over the top wacky (almost cat-lady, but not there)- and she's in the 'program' ---- and I've been trying to guage but without much luck getting past the medicated non-sexiness.
So, I'd been avoiding her since she calls me for rides, but I took her yesterday. I was going to give her a ride last last Sunday (not yesterday), but my car was in the shop.
SOOO,- I'm riding her yesterday, and she says she relapsed last Sunday after I couldn't ride her- and she said something about going downtown... frat guys... black guys....
whaaaa??????
wait
(I'm thinking to myself)
Did you just say that you got drunk and fucked a bunch of guys last week when I couldn't give you a ride?? Did she just say that?? As she was telling the story, she got disgusted with herself and said she wasn't ready to talk about it. So, I don't know if I heard her correctly...
BUUUUUUT
WTF??????
So, here I've been trying to guage this whole thing, playing my normal Gomer Pyle self around the ladies, and JUST LIKE THEY'RE ALL BEEN DOING RECENTLY- tthey "fuck up" and go get some from the first guy they see when they're wasted (or whatever).
So, now, I threw up a little in my mouth thinking about her getting gang banged last weekend when I would have most certainly volunteered to babysit her while she drank (rubbing hands together my little precious)....
anyhow, yet another one I've been trying to work on goes out and prolly bangs others as I look like foool number one
AGAIN
Greg- you're not even trying, are you?
THERE ARE NO "GOOD PROSPECTS"- if she makes your dick hard, THAT'S your "prospect". It's THE ONLY THING--
Get male friends for "satisfying comraderie" and FUCK women. Stick your dick in them and fuck them right in the pussy.
SOMEONE- ON THIS FORUM---- PLEASE FUCK SOME CHICK----SOMEWHERE---- PLEASE----SOMEONE---ANYONE----
OH, NOW i'M DEPRESSED and it's only 8 on my only day off. waaaah

Maybe you should hang out on a college campus instead. Set up your guitar on a street corner and shred.

Yeah, I'm fine without one, but you only get one life. Would you live your entire life without sex or even anything close to it? I don't think anyone (minus asexuals) would.
QuoteGet male friends for "satisfying comraderie" and FUCK women. Stick your dick in them and fuck them right in the pussy.
Lol. I guess it should be that simple. It would be so much better to be best friends at the same time, though.
As for the randomly trying to pick up girls tactic that you were mentioning... well, for one, I totally hate talking to strangers, so that's not helpful. And I almost never see any girl in their 20's walking around alone. They are
always with a guy. The only exception is when they are sometimes with a parent. It's so odd when a girl I find attractive even checks out at my register while alone- I think weeks pass between the times that happens, not even exaggerating.

yes, and in fairytale land IT IS!!!!
But Almighty God in His Infinite Wisdom wanted you to have friends WITH penises, I mean, fuuu, convince your best male friend to get a sex change, I dunno. ::)
GIRLS ARE NOT TO BE YOUR "BUD". PERIOD.
They can be, but that moot. Right now a black woman is my best bud out, but,... err,... no, Greg....
best friend + sex = something fucked up happens usually
That's why, Greg. There MUST be a chasm of "difference" to have something to work on.
I mean, I'm sorry, but it's kinda ghey wanting best friend/lover thing- see, guys are horny all the time, and guys like the company of other guys, so why not fuck them too, that way one can fuck, and then go out for beers n shit. See, teh ghey has taken this easy way out, wanting none of that female drama shit that amounts to WORK- they just want to fuck and party- that's why da chicks and teh ghey are such good friends because they just want to have fun fun fun and be silly all the time- I think the sex is somewhat irrelevant to both parties when they are around one another....
anyhow,I know, that was stupid--
it's late
Once, I met a girl who loved old horror movies just as much as me, on Halloween. OF COURSE nothing happened because she was still a GIRL and there was other stuff besides the stuff we bonded over.
Fuck, Greg, pick someone based on your "religion". period. - like, was it daverz who posted that atheist girl? see? he knows he would only be happy with someone who shared his deepest convictions, nothing else. I'd like a Calvinist witch burner, but, where oh where would I find that, AND cute????
southern florida = no p for greg?

Correct, you only get one life, so why worry about things that are out of your control? For me, sex is meaningless unless it's with someone you're deeply in love with. Call me old-fashioned, but that's just the way I feel. There's more to life than sex and what makes it incredibly sad is that some people base their whole life on trying to sleep with as many women as they can. I don't accept this kind of behavior at all and think it is immature.

But it is very expansive. I knew a guy back in the 1970's who kept a book with a list of all the women he bedded down and specific notes on their sexual qualities. Then he got married, burned the book and now has been married for over 30 years with three grandchildren. He has had a very fine life.

now now- let's nuance it a bit here, eh?
Girls make better musicians
Boys make better composers
Of course girls can be your "friend" - I mean, I have had lots of them JUST friends (it just helps when I find them COMPLETELY UNATTRACTIVE- we can all see this, no?- unattr5active to YOU- don't bigot me here!!)
But you're supposed to have a male friend that transcends- think of David and Jonathan from the OT- and of course there are thooose who want to turn the bond of manly friendship into lasciviousness- but, hey-
I still have my best friends from youth, and, wondrously, these are my deepest conversations still
AGAIN-
if you meet someone who shares your cosmic world view, you have a lot more in common than if you bond over xenakis or anime or baseball or blah.
Seriously, if I meet a chick who says she's a practicing witch or something, eh, no,- more than likely she's not like me, but I'd still know beforehand...
I think some of the guys here are just afraid of this "sex object" thing
There's this guy when we go out, and he's middle aged, verrry socially goofy, pants hiked up, man boobs,- and so some of the guys were just pretend stripping for a moment and this guy freeeaks!!- so of course I get into the act and this guy's "stooop stooop oh stoooop" and everyone's like, He Don Kno, Do He??? The closet is a dark place,- and everyone can still hear what you do in there, lolz!!!!
Oh, I guess i'm going to take a night off from the Girl Problems and take my aloneness like a man for a change :blank:
moar and moar and moar yet moar gurl problums
I have no idea what you're getting at... ???
Regardless, that's just my personal preference... it would just be so much more fun to date a girl that you can take to a metal or classical concert, anime convention, or whatever than one that wants you to go to stupid parties all the time.

Here's an idea: how about actually attending some of these events and maybe you can meet a woman that you have a lot in common with? For me, I don't care if the woman I'm going to be intimate with likes the same kind of music as I do, this isn't a deal-breaker regardless of how much I love music. I can't expect a woman to like all of the same things I like. I need more of a balance or, in my case, a voice of reason. :)
Have you frustrated guys tried the dating sites? I met my partner on Match.com, been with her 6 years. My daughter met her husband on Match.com also, they've been married happily 12 years. OK Cupid is a good one that is free, unlike Match. You get to know and consider women who have the same interests you do, and there are plenty on those sites who like classical music. You strike up a correspondence and don't meet unless something clicks. A lot better than going to bars or wherever else you're trying, or trying to pick them up on the street. I think there are some newer sites also which I don't know anything about.

OK Cupid is a good one that is free, unlike Match. You get to know and consider women who have the same interests you do, and there are plenty on those sites who like classical music. You strike up a correspondence and don't meet unless something clicks. A lot better than going to bars or wherever else you're trying, or trying to pick them up on the street. I think there are some newer sites also which I don't know anything about.
Yeah, I'm keeping that option open when I move. I tried a couple of dating sites, but in my area there weren't enough matches. There's a ton of girls in the city, though.

That guy sounds like my friend who I was talking about in that other thread. Recently only going for guys that are at least a 9, and she isn't a 9. But probably well aware of this.
Personally, I wouldn't consider anything below a 5 or 6. Absolutely no point in being in a relationship with someone you aren't attracted to when you are so well off by yourself.
The other side of my family (who I very rarely talk to) is a bit different.
I'm a granduncle now. :-X
I was anhungered, when the phone rang.
It was the BatShitCrazyLady with the great rack- oy she looks like such an Italian naughty teacher milf... sorry...
yea, so, against what I don't know, I took her out for cheesesteak- I spent money on a bitch yo- fuck- oh what a mistake- this chick is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo negative, just droning on about ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL her problems non-stop,- every part of her mind and body-
so, she even invited me in.....
so, they, at the door,- I DID- I did lean in just like reeeal not-at-all, and she jumps back, "Did you just try to kiss me?"
"NO!" I said, pivoted, and just walked away as she said something, startled that I just had had it.
HAD IT. >:D >:D >:D
FUUUUUUU.......
I'm just not even meeting any "good crazy" woman,... just all bad bad bad,.... I'm not even "picking" them, this is just what's available,- oh, it sucks,.
shouldn't have answered phone,... I was like, eh, why not? what am i doing? nothing. well, i guess nothoing is better than putting up with crazy blah blah blah.
aaaahhhhh, i can;t tell yoouuuuu- i want to pound the table!!!! >:D :'( >:D :'( >:D :'(
thank you snyprrr for this thread 0:)

That seems to be quite characteristic of almost all of the Italians that I've known... (and of ones that I've heard of).
Did know that Italy has very low marriage satisfaction rates (the lowest out of 10 countries studied)?

I remember the first time I ventured beyond reading the SDCBT I saw table pounding, popcorn munching, pfffting, men named after pastries, and a rapidly changing picture labeled as a "mirror image." I feared I had wandered into a den of loons. But at least, I told myself, no sign yet that they are La Mer aficionados.

So, I go bowling with my friend again last night and just seeing couple our age... kinda annoys me.
First dream: Holding hands with cutest girl I used to know (RIP), nothing besides that happens.
Second dream: I'm dreaming and I'm in some type of doctor's office where couples are assigned to have sex in rooms for some type of observation/experiment (?), and I even see one couple naked and excited. (There's also the "grindr" room for gay couples, but luckily I didn't see that part lol). So, as soon as I'm about to ask the doctor if I could participate in this experiment, my alarm goes off.
I told another friend I'd meet them early to play basketball. I drive to the court and they aren't there.
This is the tip of the iceberg of what I could complain about. And since I'm not allowed to drink despite being of age to do so 7 years ago, any wonder why I try to consume my mind with video games?

We're ALL slipping, trust me. :(
So... what types of girls do you guys like?
Personally, this girl has been my favorite for the last several years. I guess my favorite type is the really girly and goofy type, even if she's the biggest airhead ever (that also plays guitar!). Too bad she isn't real... I wish I knew any real girls that I could actually fall in love with, because it's kinda impossible with someone who isn't even real. :P

That's exactly me... sunshine to offset the gloom and doom lol. Someone who is silly and smiles a lot, not too serious. Basically the opposite of me is what I find attractive for a female. (other than the silliness- which I can outdo most people if I'm in that rare state of mind)

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
everytime it's time to say goodbye it's all ack-ward and she turns her head when I try to kiss her. It's going to end soon :(... this is now where I've been countless times lately...
really gitls? I'm just here to be YOUR personal muse and nothing else??? I thought it was you who were supposed to be the muse. I mean, you've inspired three songs out of ME, how many songs about me have YOU written? SO THEN- it is I who "love" you with songs, and attentions, and listen,... and it is YOU who REWARD me with what I NEEED to sustain me, namely, the "you-guessed-it". Yea, I don't really care about the mind anymore- both mindful, and mindless girls have reeeeejected me over the course of this plank, so, no, the mind and all that comes with it is irrelevant.
There is ONLY one qualification: you must like me ENOUGH to give "it" "up",... and you suuure well know that that is your worth, for you so readily withhold it from your suitor.

Too bad I've only seen her once in one of my lucid dreams. She was sleeping and then I just woke up. :P Definitely would love to jam with that band, having interesting conversations with them, etc. I've had some more successes lucid dreaming lately, but it's still not easy.
That's the appeal of lucid dreaming, though... you can make the impossible possible. If I still believed in heaven, I'd actually be taking that picture seriously. The one thing you want most you can either get now or wait 60 years? Pfffffff. Yeah, if I were a young Muslim living in some poor country with no hope for anything, I'd definitely become a suicide bomber. I totally get the appeal.
Last night... was different. I actually went to a club with a friend. Not that I like clubs, but just out of sheer boredom and wanting to go somewhere different...
So, I've never seen that many young, pretty girls in one place. My friend and her friend went hunting for guys and got some phone numbers, so I guess I probably could have done the same if I wanted to. The main problem is that I just don't dance, so when I was near the dance floor just watching my friends dance, I just avoided eye contact with any girls that looked like they might ask me. I've just always hated party music (or practically anything pop or similar), so never took any time to learn how to dance because I've never wanted to. And my friend's friend yelling at me "You gotta be more social! Taaaaaaaaaaalk to people!" lol
Probably the main entertainment was my friend, a grown woman, reverting to sounding like a retarded 5 year old after drinking too much. Beer can take 16 years off your (mental) age!
It's just ridiculous with my parents freaking out that I might have "drank or alcohol or had sex" because I got home so late. They can't even fall asleep until I get home. Basically, I'm 27 but have to live like I'm 17. If I even successfully picked up a girl, they would automatically hate her just because I met her in a club or a bar. So where exactly again do you meet women if not at work? Cause I could ask for more phone numbers in one night at a club than I could have 8 years of working at the same place.
But really, once I eventually have a good job and don't mind paying $60/month for a good phone, I'll use Tinder since I here that's what everyone else is using nowadays. I just don't like clubs and would rather not have to feign interest in crappy music and dancing just to get a girlfriend.

Why do you always have to overcomplicate things, Greg? If you're looking for the 'perfect woman,' she doesn't exist. What it sounds like to me is a woman you meet at a club, for example, can never meet your standards. Everyone has flaws including you. Stop being such a shallow person. If I'm wrong, then, by all means, call me out on it, but I think you're behaving like a child. Who cares if you're home late? You're 27 years old. Who cares if your parents disapprove of a woman you met at a club or bar? If they're that judgmental, then perhaps you should have a little talk with them about how you're old enough to decide who is right for you and who isn't.
My own situation is quite simple: I like this woman at work (she's a customer) and I know she likes me, but she has a phobia about handing me out her number and wants me to come see her at the restaurant she works. Well, she no longer works at this restaurant, so the next time I see her I'm going for it. I'm laying it all on the line and I don't give a damn what she thinks. If she truly likes me, then she'll agree with every word I tell her and feel the same way. Other than this, I don't have much going on.

Not sure how I made it sound like that. The point I was trying to make is that it was full of girls that I might be interested. Actually, the thought of actually getting a phone number somehow didn't even occur to me the whole time I was there; but after the fact, I'm just thinking of what I would have to do if I ever wanted to go back and actually ask for a number. I'm not good with meeting new people or parties- AT ALL. So yeah, it's complicated to me because I have no experience dancing/picking up women.

Sometimes you just don't want to hear the complaints. And you know, I can't afford to live on my own yet. So they have their own rules which have nothing to do with my age.

Are your parents that inflexible that they won't allow you to have a life outside of the house? I know you have to live with them right now, but jeez man it sounds like they need to get a grip and come to terms with the fact that you're not a kid anymore. Do you pay them rent or help them pay bills? If you do, then they need to understand that you're allowed to come and go as you please.
As for picking up women, you don't have to be good at it, you just have to actually try. Rejection is a part of it, but there are plenty of fish in the sea. If you see a cute woman at a club again (if you go back), then don't be afraid to approach her. You should really be more confident in yourself. We'll all equal on this planet and no one is above anyone else unless you're a criminal, rapist, murderer, etc. Of course, I'm better and you're better than those people. ;D

It's not the confidence part- if I asked for a dozen phone numbers, then yeah, I'll probably get a couple. My fear just goes away knowing that if I'm rejected, I can ask someone else 2 minutes later. It's not like work, where you can go years at a time before finding anyone else interesting (it's been 5 years since I even asked anyone). Being rejected in that case means how many more years do I have to wait?
What I mean is that 1) I really don't know what to say to people; 2) I could ask someone to dance, which is the typical way of getting to know someone, but I don't dance. So if I ever went back one day I'd have to get those issues sorted out first. Though I don't plan to any time soon...

You really don't know what to say but you can come to GMG and tell everyone your business? Such a contradiction. Just be yourself. Try to find common ground with a woman, but if you can't be yourself around her, then you need to find a woman you can be yourself around. The woman who can tolerate you and your crazy thoughts is the one for you. :)

Man, your situation sure is f'ed up. You don't have to live like you're 17. You're not
supposed to live like you're 17. I don't know your parents and I certainly don't want to insult them in any way, but from what you've shared here, they're ruining your life.

They're hardcore conservative Christians, if that helps paint the picture a bit more. My brother has a "vow of purity until marriage" framed in his room. He turns 18 in a few weeks and hasn't dated anyone, so it will be interesting how it goes for him when he gets a job. It's not like he'd be able to bring a girl home and do anything lol. His only friends have been church friends for quite a few years now. And my parents basically never have friends over or do anything with anyone, and all of their friends are just from church, too.

I mean just getting a conversation started isn't easy for me. I have no problem talking to people once I have something to talk about.
Starting a conversation at an anime convention would be super easy because people are dressed up and everyone is around interesting stuff to talk about- at a club or a bar, for me the only thing that comes to mind to say is, "HinormalpersonyoulooklikeanormalpersonmynameisGregIhopeyoureallyarenormaltoo." :P
I am not a very social person. But I have found the easiest way to meet people is to join an interest group and be available for some of the backstage work, like setting up/putting away chairs, mailing committees that sort of thing. You gradually get drawn into the more social side of things and also get to see who are dependable and who you want to avoid.
Arrive early for something that interests you and volunteer your help. It gives you an excuse to get out of the house.

Arrive early for something that interests you and volunteer your help. It gives you an excuse to get out of the house.
Well, that's something to think about. Good ideas. :)

They're hardcore conservative Christians, if that helps paint the picture a bit more. My brother has a "vow of purity until marriage" framed in his room. He turns 18 in a few weeks and hasn't dated anyone, so it will be interesting how it goes for him when he gets a job. It's not like he'd be able to bring a girl home and do anything lol. His only friends have been church friends for quite a few years now. And my parents basically never have friends over or do anything with anyone, and all of their friends are just from church, too.
Oh, I have just have to add one more irrelevant thing.
I also hate how they are constantly saying stuff about one of my friends- suspecting that he smokes pot (ok, he went through a brief phase of experimenting) and that he isn't aiming anywhere right now for a career or school. If I set my standards so high that everyone has to be so squeaky clean and goal-oriented as me, I wouldn't have any friends (most friends I've had the last 5 years smoke pot occasionally). And what do expect, career-wise, when all of your friends come from the same workplace, which is retail? Some rich overachievers? ::)
Okay, I think I'm done...

I thought as much. I'm from a Christian family myself but this is unfathomable to me.
The least you can do is take listener's advice to heart.
So, I like this woman at work and I have a suspicion that she likes me as well. The only problem is she has two kids. She just moved to the area from Maine and I'm sure she doesn't know anyone, but I feel like I would be leading her on if I were to become involved with her because I'm not into women who have more than one kid. What should I do?

If you are only looking for something serious, don't... if you don't care about being serious or not, do? Idk...

Ask her out. Sell one kid on eBay.
I'm going to make sure every day to ask John if he asked her out yet until he does...
That's the thing...I'd love to get serious with her (if we actually start to date), but the having kids part would really put a damper on things. I guess there's no harm in dating her with no intention of getting serious. Again, I would just hate to lead her on. She seems like a sweet person.

I do have another prospect, but, with her, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to get some balls and ask her. She's VERY attractive and the few occasions we have spoken, she seems like a sweet, kind person and quiet, too. I do well with more quiet people it seems. I can get them to come out of their shell a bit more.

Was re-watching
Dead Poets Society last night (alone—cannot watch it with the missus, it would bum her out too awfully). Watching afresh the scene where Neil deceives Keating (who probably only about half-believes it) into thinking that he did talk to Big Daddy, I very nearly spoke aloud the thought,
Oh, this cannot end well, can it?

I am surprised at
Karl's callousness. Second thoughts can be a bitch; tossing a coin is best.
I've decided not to ask her out. :) If she said 'yes,' and something developed between us, it would be a long, difficult road for me (and her, too, I imagine) because I don't believe I could ever bring myself to be truly invested in something I'm trying to avoid (i. e. a woman with more than one kid). This said, the other woman I was mentioning last night is definitely 'in my sights' now. 8)

John - that's like not eating bread because you don't like the crust - only
you don't even know whether or not you don't like the crust, you only
think you might not. The kids may be fun and interesting and in desperate need of classical music indoctrination.
Nothing comes from avoidance but the same old. Relationships can be tiresome, frustrating and fruitless; they can also provide
the most rewarding (and illuminating) moments of your life. I say categorically, check it out, there's no obligation. Yet. ;D

This may sound shallow, and I'm sure many would agree it is, but I don't want to be these kids' 'father-in-law' or anything of the sort. I might like to have a kid, or two, at some point, but I'm not attached to the idea of taking care of someone else's kids, especially if they aren't my own. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so I've simply decided to move onto someone else. Again, I also don't like the idea of leading people on, so I should quit while I'm ahead here and let someone else who wants that kind of life step up to the plate.

Not wanting to lead her on sounds very admirable. Anyway, she probably didn't like Nielsen so it may have been doomed from the start anyway. 8)

One kid, two kids, red kids, blue kids ;D (my Dr. Seuss moment for the day)--if she has even one child, you're already getting a "package deal." She's never going to put you ahead of her children, and you shouldn't want her to. On the other hand, the best way to the heart of such a woman is through her kids. 8)

You're certainly right, which is why I've decided not to pursue. I actually saw her walk out the other night with another guy and they were both smiling at each other and seemed to be enjoying each other's company. There's someone out there for everyone. I just have to find the right one for me. Lord knows I've certainly been patient.

Both versions are fine, but I don't really listen to the work that much. This isn't to say I don't enjoy it, it's just that there's so much other Schoenberg I would rather hear like
Five Pieces for Orchestra or
Die Jakobsleiter for example. 8)

Unless you want the unvarnished truuuth, that should be enough to tell you... "Mission Accomplished",... ( also known as "IFHRITP",... and you can look that one up!!)
amazing what lots of alcohol will do ::)
anyhow, we're not necessarilky out of the wood yet (lol!),... I will most certainly let gentle readers know what's up as soon as we get a handle on whether this thing has legs,... should know by next week,...
but, yes,... I DOOOO feel just a touch more,... errr, less desperate for a change,... and, on the mystical side, it definitely happened according to some kind of plan that I'm not in charge of,... it was all very reminiscent of other situations and other, similar, people...
Drunk Girl Rules are in effect, though. Unpredictability prevails, so, it behooves me to find someone less,... errr,.... NOT drunk. BUUUUUT,... ERRR,....
(yes, can you tell my communication skillz are particularly bad right now because I don't just want to come out and say IFHRITP,... twice, even,... yaaay!! But, yes, as far as this Thread(s) are concerned, we can all have a round of nerd hand claps,... I'm guessing this is the first time for all of us here,... go on, pat yourselves on the back, you deserve it!!
However, I'd really like to talk about the cute little red haired girl who sings,... looks like Kidman-ish,... ugh, three kids,... quiiiiite full of herself,... frankly, she seems like a complete,,,,errr,... but, sometimes I think IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET WITH SOMEONE YOU DON'T LIKE ALL THAT MUCH, SO THAT YOU DON'T BECOME CRAZY- LET THEM LIKE YOU MORE THAN YOU LIKE THEM--- you knooow the trouble always starts when you're the one falling hard-

(you talk too much- stop typing now)
wasn't going to happen.

The guy that gave me his guitar 10 years ago... I was hangin one night and a girl came and plopped next to me, so I started flirting,... turned out she was the widow of my friend,... that was a year ago,... if you dig into 'A Failed Experiment' Thread you can probably get a scoop what was going on,... try right after halloween last year,... anyhow, I saw her the other week, andwe just hooked up,... but, here may be the most important thing- she's a drunky drunk like many girls I've dated- though not so unprredictable, but that still I think has been a part of why this isn't heating up like it should--- but, yea, she seems to still like me, but she's been having issues getting out this last week and I have to distance myself so i don't take it personal... errr....
I mean, I when someone gives out sex, one wants some mo' of it,... but that makes me sooooo eager, and that makes me call too much, etc etc, so, I have to chiill but I'm still now craving every woman I see,...I just see me chompin down on some butt cheeks, yee haw!!
oh- the 2nd time Mr. winky was a little too relaxed and things were very "eastern", mmmm, so, I think since mr. winky has been rejected so much he's a bit scurred at the prospects of...
oy- you know, thatr's just TMI for me, ack.....
yea, she's not my "girlfriend" yet........ but, I doooo need a non-drunk frankly.....
little red haired girl crossed off list.... waaah.....
the older rocker lady widow who's somewhat musical just wants to chum out, but I don't know how much i can hang with her if nothing's going on- she has a greeeat rack that makes being "just friends" more than merely difficult- and, I have told her how I felt....
bottom line = I'm still in torment, but, yes, I did get my first pie in years, but nothing panning out yet, but,.... and but,... and but......

Ha! :P Well, as much as I think I could juggle dating two women, it's just too exhausting to think about in actuality. The real story is nothing materialized between myself and the Hispanic woman whereas I met this Vietnamese woman yesterday and we hit it off pretty well I think. We've been texting each other and last night we talked for about an hour. We're supposed to go out Monday. I'm not getting my hopes up, though, but I do hope she and I can have a good time together with no awkwardness and uneasy silence.

Just started using Tinder since I finally got a phone that uses Android.
So far I got a few cute girls that like my picture. You can only do so many "likes" every day, though (probably a good thing).
Two major problems, though: 1. don't remember what I set my radius to, and 2. I suck at talking to new people. :P There's literally no information in this app about a person besides their picture and age (probably also a good thing, though). So kinda forces me to be direct, I guess... so maybe these are actually good things instead of problems?

Let me know how it goes for you, Greg. I'm curious to know whether Tinder works or not.

Currently messaging a girl that is super cute... I did set my radius too far, though. 50 miles... and the cute ones live so far away. Setting it down to 30... if I did 10-20 I'd probably hardly get anything.
This girl looks like the girl I used to like 4 or 5 years ago, but she's even cuter. I think this app has its benefits for me personally, already... just knowing that there are a fair enough cute girls out there that like a picture of me definitely helps make me feel better.
The future would be blindingly bright for me, though, if I actually could pick up a girl. There's a good chance I'll be working full-time on the UCF campus next year. All I would have to do is talk to a girl while on my lunch break. But Tinder would be a good thing to use since I suck at that. It's a completely different world over there.

Ha! :P Well, as much as I think I could juggle dating two women, it's just too exhausting to think about in actuality.
Just play some Delius to pacify them. ;)
My friend and colleague uses Tinder with varying degrees of success. He's mostly found it useful for hookups/one night stands, but even then it depends on which part of the country he's currently in. When he visited us a while ago my girlfriend was watching him use it and often berated him for being too fussy in his choices. Also, the two of them were enjoying playing 'Spot the bot'.
Quote from: Greg on September 03, 2015, 07:24:53 PMCurrently messaging a girl that is super cute... I did set my radius too far, though. 50 miles... and the cute ones live so far away. Setting it down to 30... if I did 10-20 I'd probably hardly get anything.
This girl looks like the girl I used to like 4 or 5 years ago, but she's even cuter. I think this app has its benefits for me personally, already... just knowing that there are a fair enough cute girls out there that like a picture of me definitely helps make me feel better.
The future would be blindingly bright for me, though, if I actually could pick up a girl. There's a good chance I'll be working full-time on the UCF campus next year. All I would have to do is talk to a girl while on my lunch break. But Tinder would be a good thing to use since I suck at that. It's a completely different world over there. Just old people where I live, sooo many young people over there.
So in the town/city you currently live in there are absolutely no women from the ages 21-26 that are attractive and single? What is the population in the town/city you live in?
Yes, I can imagine working on the campus of a college would quite nice indeed. Obviously, plenty of women and, who knows, maybe even some Japanese ones. ;)

There are, just nothing like it is in the city. Within preferable driving distance, about 30,000 people. And the area is more designed for retired people.
And where I live feels like an island... it's like a 20 minute radius where people are. Past that, you have 30 minutes of nearly uninhabited areas, with the exception of one town.
Regardless, I'm not sure how serious I can take all of this until I move. I'm not interested in one-night stands, and if I move in 6 months or so, what's the point of dating someone that lives nearby?

Delius certainly helps my insomnia as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course. :)
I once thought of writing a skit (sort of a parody of Haydn's Farewell Symphony) where all the orchestra players playing a Delius piece fall asleep, one by one. But I couldn't stay awake to finish it.

No, don't do that. It was probably very difficult for him to have taken that risk after five years. You need to find a way to tell him you're not interested without humiliating him or sacrificing whatever friendship you may have had.

Haha, it's all cool. We just laughed and went on to talk about other stuff.
"Have a girlfriend?" "No." "Have a boyfriend?" "
Noooooo." "Wanna be my boyfriend?" Then we just laughed. Being casual and keeping expectations low is how you do it.
Now that I realize it, that's the third time a guy has shown interest in my, at least hoping I were bisexual.
That's a good way of handling it. Of course, I was kidding when I said run. This is a good friend of yours after all, so it's best to be honest.
OK, that's better. :)

Are you sure you're not? You might as well try. You could find your anime boy, instead.

1) gREG "CAN'T FIND" A GIRL.
2) gREG IS "INTO" aNIME.
3) (whoops) Greg now has issued an invite to his Coming Out Party.
Oh, Greg, where did we go wrong here??? :(
"Hey, brah, ... bein' my good bud an all, could you help jerk me while we both watch this porn naked on the couch? I mean, we're just bros, but, hey, isn't that what a brah is for?"This happened to me in the '90s, greg,... I know,... you want to joke about it now,... but,... if you need a shoulder, I'm here for you! ;) :'(
BTW- got the "can't make it" message today- am calling now----- gulp,.... "two week curse" in effect???? hope not,.... I've been having THAT feeling....
OK- just called,- obviously had to leave a short message,... yea, bummed,... all the signs are there,...
:(
Back to
I really don't get the joke... not sure what being gay has to do with anime. If anything, the anime community tends to be more heterosexual than normal. Where I work (a hardware store) there tends to be more gays and lesbians than the general population. So where are you people going with that? ???
I've been using Tinder and all of my matches are just too far away. There's hardly anyone within a reasonable (~30 minute) radius. Same problem with the two sites I tried previously (plentyoffish and match.com). Can't wait to move out of my area.
I was actually having a conversation with a girl on Tinder and then all of a sudden, after I mentioned that I go to the same school that she does, the messages are gone and she's completely disappeared. ::)

Very strange. Perhaps she got spooked? So she mentioned she went your school and then after that you said you go to the same school? Hmmm...sounds like she might have thought you were a psycho murderer who has a family in his freezer? ;D

Yep, I asked her what she studies and then it happened. Wouldn't be surprised if she thought that- psycopaths can converse like normal people, too.
I could probably be successful at Tinder if after I moved, I presented a sort of "dudebro" image- my pictures only being me drinking a beer at the beach, pics with friends, a shirtless mirror selfie and me playing an
acoustic guitar (presumably for country music). Girls do most often enjoy the three worst genres of music in the history of mankind (country, rap, pop) (even more than guys in my personal observation), so the acoustic guitar (rathern than electric) could be ambiguous (little do they know I use it to come up with music that sounds like Takemitsu guitar pieces).
oh Greg- my whole Post just got Deleted,... you are one lucky guy, lol!!
btw- yes, it seems girls like those "regular" things like acoustic guitars and country music,... and you've got to just leave it at that,...
NO- seriously, Greg, if you truly want what we all seem to be pining for here,- go to your nearest Symphony Orchestra or Music School and begin your tactics there- I mean,... well, it seems far fetched, but I'm sure anyone here who accidentally bumps into a (cute) girl at the coffee shop and then find out she's played the Boulez Flute Sonata- i dunno, it would probably make me jizz my pants- but, how would that work if she wasn't attractive...hmmm?????
Look at some symphony videos- are those chicks attractive??-
COULD I EVEN IMAGINE my dream girl liking Xenakis????
WHICH BRINGS ME- to this current girl I've met- I told you she cancelled last night- so, today I called, and LOL- the phone clicks to message at 2 1/2 rings, meaning, she prolly bumped me-
BUT
then she called back, and I picked her up- ate Vietnamese- and then, cruising, I said- "Hey, can we have an... adult conversatrion?" (she chuckled) "about us meeting?"
OK, she says,-
So, I ask her if she's still sleeping with bla bla, or anyone else,- I tell her how insecure I am- I tell her how she's a girl who has many many suitors and yet no wun wuves wittle me- and I just give her all the whiny needy clingy shit I could throw at her- and then explained myself- and we discussed-
a couple of beers
and then I'm taking her back, and she's like, where are we going?, I'm taking you back,
AND SHE SAYS
"I thought you were taking me yto your place to fuuuuuuuuu my brains out!!"
:o :o :o
:o :o :o
:o :o :o
TIRES SCREEEECHING INTO PARKING LOT
WHAAAT DID SHE JUST SAY?????
So, lol, I told her that just having this good conversation was enough for me today- haha,... did I really???? :laugh:
So I shot for definite plans for a sleepover next week- we'll see----

It wouldn't...
Been on Tinder, just trying out my preferred range now (no more than 20 miles), still getting some matches within range, thankfully. And trying to talk to them. Idk, guess that's all I can do for now...
Having a conversation with a match on Tinder that is HOT, then asked if she's seen any good movies lately and conversation seems to have died. :P
I feel like a dork for doing this, but I think I should upload a shirtless pic to my album. Maybe they like the face but don't want to risk the possibility that my body looks like a sack of tomatos? :P ;D
I could certainly understand if that's why they might shy away from getting into conversation territory where I suggest we meet up.
I tried the Tinder thing (with a push from Greg) and removed the app from my phone in a day or two. This app is just garbage and it also seemed to drain my battery life, so good riddance, Tinder! I'm still on POF and I'm currently talking to someone I actually met on there before and we just never hit it off, but things seem to be going good right now. I remember talking to her on the phone and it just seemed the chemistry wasn't there, but, in all honesty, I hate the phone and I'm definitely not good at talking on it. Hopefully, things go better this time around. She lives about 30 minutes away, which is nothing.
Yeah, I can't say that I "like" it, either, but it's the most used dating app, and numbers are the most important thing when you live where I do.

Too bad it isn't working for you, though. :-\ Women are a bit hesitant about giving out their number, but I can't say that I can blame them. I think the best thing for you to do, Greg, is not worry about this stuff right now. Wait until you actually live in a more populated area where there are plenty of women around.

Definitely good advice, just seems I can't help at least trying.
When I move, I'll have 1) my own place; 2) a steady career with actual normal hours and 3) FAAAARR more girls to choose from.
It's just the waiting is almost absurd at this point... personally, although I don't think anything of it, I just don't look forward to having to dodge answers to possible questions that might reveal that they're my first date even though I'm 27 (or 28 after I move). Just awkward, though you know, if they think anything negative of it, they could go jump off a cliff for all I care. ::)

Well, to avoid that issue altogether, don't tell the woman this is your actual first date. ;) Problem solved on your end. :D I can understand how the waiting is hard (trust me I know about the waiting all too well), you just have to look at your situation realistically. Your chances of meeting a woman in your town, from the way you've been talking, is completely out of the question. So, it seems strange to me for someone who has no interest in dating someone who is an hour or so away to continue to try hooking up with someone seeing as you're not going to make the effort to actually see the woman in question who lives an hour away.
MI, what happened to the women from a week or two ago?

I did change my radius for no more than 30 minutes away, but yeah, totally true...
So then just whatever, I guess. Nothing more to say than that.

I uninstalled Tinder. Just got tiresome thinking about it, and don't want people to see the app if they have to use my phone.
Best to drop any expectations, I guess. Most people would expect someone who isn't fat, ugly, or short (or have any other sort of highly off-putting personality feature) to have found a girlfriend sometime far before my age, but I guess things just work differently for me for some reason. Even years ago when I would tell friends that (after they asked), they are initially confused and in disbelief before they get that I'm not kidding. It's only going to be more awkward with new friends as I get older, so I'm just going to have to prepare to weird people out even more. >:D :P
I will keep loving my anime girls, though. >:D >:D >:D ;D (hey, it's either them or being in love with nothing- and none of that "love yourself" bullshit, I'm not gay :P )
At least I got Yui...

I'd hate to see you give up, Greg, but, at the same time, I would like to see you actually live in an area, or within reasonable driving distance, that has 1. obviously a larger population of people and 2. more women your age or close to your age. Only when you make that move to a 'busier' town/city will you find a woman that you would like to get to know and pursue.

I asked my friend if she thought I come across as gay, and the answer is no. Didn't think so, but doesn't hurt to get a second opinion? Maybe gay guys just tend to hope guys who seem straight are actually bisexual or in the closet?
I hope snyprrr doesn't mind me being somewhat off-topic, but today was one of the weirdest days ever.
I accidentally slept nearly 12 hours, which might be a record for me. I woke up when I was supposed to be at work. All day felt like derealization.
I worked with my friend (the girl that I was wanting to date earlier this year) outside on the register again, and saw this couple kissing in the parking lot. You know what we were doing at that time? We tied plastic sheets to ourselves to make them look like capes and then stood in front of the fan, pretending we're Superman. Perfect snapshot of my life right there.
Last night I had lucid dreams and finally achieved that one specific experience that I wanted most (everyone has their own). Next I think I would like to experience blowing up planets with my finger a la DBZ.
Typical facebook status update from one of my friends:

I accidentally slept nearly 12 hours, which might be a record for me. I woke up when I was supposed to be at work. All day felt like derealization.
I worked with my friend (the girl that I was wanting to date earlier this year) outside on the register again, and saw this couple kissing in the parking lot. You know what we were doing at that time? We tied plastic sheets to ourselves to make them look like capes and then stood in front of the fan, pretending we're Superman. Perfect snapshot of my life right there.
Last night I had lucid dreams and finally achieved that one specific experience that I wanted most (everyone has their own). Next I think I would like to experience blowing up planets with my finger a la DBZ.
again, whole Post deleted......
wtf???
Anyhoo,... so, it looks like I have a girlfriend,... the widow of the guy who gave me my guitatr 10 years ago... cute,...
there's some issssssues...
but,... for now,...
I took some of those gas station pills today b4 I saw her,... lol :laugh:
OK, Thread Officially Closed :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
(suuuuure it is fiunny bouy, sure it is...)
Yeah, I saw the video of that guy.

He's an actor and director, btw.
Smells like I got dumped. :(
Yea, it has gone from "baby baby" to the absolute most typical girl behavior- almost in the blink of an eye. There's been a whole lot of "I'll call you back later" that never materializes, some drunck babble on the phone,- I saw her last week and we talked and she seemed affectionate enough, but, I feel like I'm turning into a wuss again, calling simply to get some confirmation when there is none, whatever,...
Your boy snyprrr laid her out so well she got the scurrreds,... I don't know,... I'm kind of depressed seeing as this thing seemed it was going to last at least through the season...
excuse me whilst I pity myself:
:'( :'( :'(
:'( :'( :'(

OK,... sniff,... I guess we'll... sniff... deal with it...

Sooo,... Greg,... how's it hangin'?
I can tell you now that I'm assuming 'Dumped' status,... I called one final time (yes, I use the phone like a blunt instrument sometimes,... it's a habit I need to rectify),... which means that, if she thinks I'm being a stalker, it will take X-days before she realizes I haven't called for a while...
oh, sorry,...
worked myself into a niiice headache today...
My main thing is, I think I know now that I TALK TOO MUCH... and girls don't want a guy to talk, that simple. You can't show any real feelings, say no real thing, don't rock their fantasy world one iota... ahhhh, I'm such a dikk :(

Yeah. Less talk = probably better. Especially when it's about your problems. Talking about your problems is kinda viewed as a feminine thing, so yeah, that's probably why I save that for here (mainly). The type of man women desire are the ones who have less problems to even talk about. Or you could at least try to maintain that illusion that you have no problems to talk about.

OK, seems I'm not as dumped as I thought I was,... mm ::),... yes, it was all me acting like a little girly-man, call the wahmbulance,... yes, the power of a drunk girl's absent mindedness is greater than my puny feelings!
So, now at least, actually, my talking too much seems better than I imagined.
You're going to love this, but, at one point in the very latest conversation, she said, "You're like my intellectual overlord"!!!! Ask me if I popped a boner!! :laugh: :laugh:
Yea,... boy, I'm such a weeny boy- this chick was brought up more self reliant than I was,... no one wants to "be the chick" it seems, lolz!!
Oh, if you're not laughing you're crying, I guess,... mm :blank:
At least you have a woman, snyprrr. I have had two failed attempts recently. One attempt was online with a woman I thought would be fun to go out with, but, long story short, she ended up being incredibly inconsiderate and not someone of their word. The next woman gave me her number after we seemed to hit it off but then backed out of the idea of possibly going out on a date, which left me holding the bag. Damn, I'm just so tired of looking, but I'm not giving up. I've got to stay optimistic even though it may seem kind of bleak for me right now.

How do you even meet these people?
The only girl I even talk to now is my friend who I was talking about before. I'm only still trying to hang out with her again because my other friends are too busy (we really have nothing in common). I had to resort to tagging along with my friend while he's doing deliveries at work just to see a friend, and he's the only friend I've been able to hang out with in a few months.
And I had the time to see him only because for some reason my professor isn't assigning homework this week. Doesn't quite work well when everyone is busy 40-60 hours a week and have different schedules.

The one woman I met online, I met on POF, which has mostly been a dead-end, but I seemed to find someone I had some things in common with. The other woman is a fellow associate and, like I said, we seemed to hit it off, but apparently not. ::) Anyway, I'm quite fortunate in that 1. I live in a pretty populated area and 2. this is a college town (w/ three colleges spread out), so there's an influx of women here, but I seem to still be striking out left and right. Like I said, I'm staying optimistic as should you, Greg.
But, with you, Greg, it's like I said before, you're just going to have to wait until you're able to live in a more populated area. Until then, it's just going to be one dry spell after another.

Regardless, that's just my personal preference... it would just be so much more fun to date a girl that you can take to a metal or classical concert, anime convention, or whatever than one that wants you to go to stupid parties all the time.
i'd like a girl who isn't offended by the thought of me :(

I liked this girl at work and I even got her number and everything, but, boy, does she have some major baggage and not the kind I'd like to bring home or even deal with myself.
A friend's facebook post:

Dreaming is a dangerous thing. Better to keep in mind that the world is just a random thing and asking that much from it is an unreasonable request.

The only reason he got with Bulma is because Bulma was aggressively pursuing him. Vegeta is so relatable, even if I "am Gohan." Uptight and grouchy all the time lol.
"Vegeta may not be as sweet as Goku, but he's more reliable."
While out doing stuff, every now and then I get to talk to a cute girl and just think that I had some sort of sweet, charming personality I might actually have a chance. But I just never feel like talking to anyone unless I have to.

Yes, listening to Nothing lately. I recognize you say it's weird. And yes I like that as well. Sometimes I wonder what Nietzsche would have thought of this kind of music. I think he would have found it great that these kinds of music were made, totally different from his time. We live gradually more in a world Nietzsche has blown us into. :)
Need to appreciate the music more fully. Often I listen music pretty onconcentrated. I listen to it, but my thoughts flander.
I think the vocals on Obzen are great.
They only have own show planned in 2016 in Iceland I see on their site.

I know, right! You just made me imagine Schopenhauer headbanging to New Millenium Cyanide Christ! :D
On the back cover of Schopenhauer's newest book, is the text:
"DISCIPLES, COME JOIN WITH ME TO SAVE A FAILED HUMANITY. FOLLOW THE GOD OF CYANIDE INTO THE NEW ETERNITY."
>:D
I've had the same thoughts. What if we could bring back Mahler, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, etc. and introduce someone like Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, BTBAM, etc. to them? That would be so awesome.
I just checked the site, too. Although at first my reaction is: :( , my next reaction was: Oh, yes! 8)
You know what that means? They are likely hard at work on their next album that is due out next year.

I'm not that fond of Schopenhauer. Just reading his stuff for educational reasons, not because I like to follow him in his thoughts. Schopenhauer is the guy of pityness for others.
Curious after your song!
Schopenhauer is a good read however. And I'm just curious, so I read him. But Nietzsche said Schopenhauer was wrong in everything.

You may be interested in Derrida. Difficult to read, but this (below) I read now. Much fun (though I am just at a quarter). With funny illustration throughout. About "decentering" among other concepts. Insights that could rather have practical use.

Well I like it, I just read some short passages on music and sex. Also a chapter about painting, so I think I can learn from it. Good to have more than one source to introduce yourself to certain philosophies. I want to read his own books as well, that's of course the main dish, but that requires much more focus.
Just easy reads are good for some overview. I have some 4,5 introductions to philosophy. Great books. In a few pages you get explained a thinker.
I read also books or just (little or larger) parts of books written by the thinkers themselves, first or after of course. Not always useful to read the whole book (an advice of Schopenhauer, so I'm gonna do that with his ones :)). On the other side, you need to re-read.
A short list of books I've read:
Arnold Cornelis:
- Logic of Feeling
- The Retarded Time
- Restpoints of the Spirit
Nietzsche:
- Human all too human (the most of it, still reading)
- The Gay Science
- Beyond Good and Evil
- The Antichrist
- Dawn
- Twilight of the Idols
Some Sloterdijk (my enemy, but he has also something usefull to say)
Foucault (part of books, now reading "Birth of the Clinic")
Some other stuff.
Also Schelling and Bergson have my particular interest nowadays. Usefull stuff I think for my activities ("building a better knowledge"). Also Plato, much books of him on the shelves. And some philosophy of science (Kwa, very usefull stuff).

I really understand little with your obsession for anime girls, Greg, only the slightest impression. For me it's just the same as barbie. I actually considered to buy a barbie (Muriel) but then I have think of you.. ;)

Greg, if you don't stop with your obsession for anime girls, a waste of time, I'm afraid you won't get a crush on a real girl.

That's not a problem. If I knew any girls worth having a crush on, then I could develop a crush on them. Since I don't know any, then it really doesn't matter.

But Greg, admit. Falling in love with anime girls is pure misery. Do you have friends who like anime girls like you? Then it's misery together, even worse. And since there are more like you, this is the case.

The more time you spend on anime girls, the less chance you meet a dreamgirl.

This girl is his favorite:

I get the appeal- she's a great character. And he also really likes the ones from the same show with my favorite girls.
I don't know him extremely well, but he's always been a really interesting person to me. I think this guy would have more success if he a) didn't live in the same area I do; b) weren't so introverted; c) were into something like working out rather than anime. He's a very good looking and very fun to be around sort of guy, but is always complaining about not having a cute girl to watch anime with lol.

There's no "time" that I spend on anime girls. I spend almost all of my time either doing homework or working, so not much of a chance to meet someone. (I'm actually supposed to be doing homework right now, but posting on here instead). :P
The last time I had a crush on a girl was like 5 years ago, and she's married with kids now. So kinda pointless to think about her. I like thinking about girls, so who else is there to even think about? I guess if I were a movie watcher, I'd be thinking about actresses. But I like anime a lot more, so there ya go.

Relative to this thread, possibly. This is exactly what I hate about the new politically correct movement.
"Not being attracted to certain races makes you racist."
So what's next? Not being attracted to the same gender makes you homophobic? Not being attracted to fat or skinny people makes you hate them? Notice the whole site is without any comments section, so they can maintain their own safe space, free of any criticism while they go on their little witch hunt. Reminds me of Soviet communism.

But I'm not so stupid to fall in love with them. Just building fantasies and masturbate to enjoy and process all that stuff!
She (Katya) tweeted this:
"Think about me like I know you will 😌"
Of course I think about her, but more to process things, that's thrilling (the thrill being the meaning of the interaction, with all emotions involved) and interesting, not to stick to it.

Physical characteristics, maybe? Accent/language? etc.
My friend, for example, was accused of being racist for not liking black guys, and I've never heard anything remotely racist sounding coming from her. I know a white guy who only likes Hispanic women (he's married to one) and doesn't like white girls, yet I've never heard him say anything bad about his own race. One of my best friends never seemed interested in white girls when we were growing up (he's black and seemed to only be interested in black girls). And a guy I work with is black/Hispanic and only likes white girls, yet implying that he's racist against black people would be the joke of the century.
Just a few examples I can think of at the moment...
Quote from: Greg on November 11, 2015, 04:06:52 AM

My friend, for example...
I don't want to use your friends as examples, because the purpose is not to comment on them (and I don;t want to appear to be attacking them or anything - I don't know them).
In the end, it really depends what is meant. If someone says they prefer blue eyes, and they accept any race/ethnic group with that characteristic (or at least would consider it), then there doesn't seem to be a problem. But if someone says blue eyes and white skin only, I would probably think that person biased, perhaps worse. It is one thing to have a preference and another thing entirely to exclude a group. I don't doubt that a matchmaker would meet both, but figuring out who is who may be more complicated. There are also socio-economic factors at play, especially when we expand the pool. What I mean here is some may cite certain factors because they are interested in a wealthier partner who can provide for them (not necessarily love).

That's basically the same thing, though. For example, I don't think a site like blackpeoplemeet, which is dating for black people trying to find other black people, is racist. People can't help their sexual preferences and will seek those out, which may involve excluding other races (that site, for example, is defined by excluding non-black people). Nothing wrong with that.
That article that I linked to related this to employers and employees, which is terrible. Two totally different things.

There is something profoundly depressing about the schoolgirl animation and the "most seductive thing" comment. Not only because it's a cartoon rather than a human being; even in the context of pornography, which is almost all fantasy of a sort, this is a blatantly unreal fantasy, something which does not exist in real life. The most attractive quality about it (I assume? since it's not attractive to me) is bashfulness, and eagerness to please - as if the most attractive thing about women is their bashfulness and eagerness to please. More worryingly, maybe, we have a grown adult fetishizing a schoolgirl.
Paging Dr. Freud...
The point is I think Greg just likes that.
This is not at all as pervert as porno.

Why schoolgirl? Could be any girl as far as appropriate. I'm sure Greg doesn't fall for schoolgirls by definition.
But I hope however Greg will outgrow the genre.
I think this kind of cartoons are just a compensation for reality. It's a form of emancipation, though surely with adverse effects, one can hope that this kind of cartoons lead to a positive change in society. But that takes time.
Yeah, I think Greg's liking of anime girls has turned into an unhealthy obsession.

Thanks, Henk. You're right, I don't in particular have a thing for schoolgirls- it's just that particular picture that struck me. Those hips and that girly expression. (A large percentage of anime takes place in high school/involves high school characters).

If we're talking about real girls, my favorite I've seen is the gifs of Katee Owen dancing. That is some amazing stuff.
I used to search around for stuff like that... but then I realized almost all of it is terrible. The worst part is seeing naked guys.

So just wondering... do you prefer a girl to boss you around rather than think about how to please you? The girls I used to like could often be loud and aggressive, but that was not something I really cared about or thought much about. Liking that type specifically is having a tsundere fetish. Not saying that you are/aren't, or that's bad. Though I don't like the word "fetish-" all it is is a derogatory term used to describe any sexual interest that isn't mainstream. You wouldn't call homosexuality a fetish, for example.
One of the most attractive things about a woman can be their "bashfulness and eagerness to please," yes, but only if you're willing to act the same way right back at them. But definitely not the most attractive thing- appearance tops that, of course.
I just want to clarify... I like "moe" aka "cuteness," but to a limit. That character to me looks like she could be 20. Young is good, but too young I'm not interested in. For example:
(http://galerie.nautiljon.com/09/79/yuru_yuri_756997.jpg)
too young looking, not appealing.

So just wondering... do you prefer a girl to boss you around rather than think about how to please you?
Well, hang on right there. That's a false choice. I prefer a girl to be an independent human being who likes to be around me because we better each other. And sometimes that means we want to please each other, and sometimes that means we do our own thing, and in general, we act with love and compassion and respect but not with dependency.
There's a time and place for bossiness and for servitude but those are not "default settings" for a healthy 21st-century relationship, are they? Obviously kink/fetish is different, if you like to boss around, or be bossed around, in bed, that is a totally different story. There are plenty of strong and independent people who kinda wanna get on their knees. But that's not what I'm talking about.

People with fetishes are usually very comfortable with using the word. Fetish might be derogatory if somebody says it in a derogatory way, but a lot of things can be derogatory if you say them a certain way.
Also, "fetish" isn't just any sexual interest outside the mainstream. The dictionary definition is a heightened sexual interest in an object that isn't a sex organ (feet, certain clothing, you know the story).

Yes but in order to do that they must first grow up out of their own immaturity and childishness... and some cases might just be hopeless...
I've decided to stop with tweeting to young and good looking girls on Twitter and Facebook. Had a negative experience, which reminded me I'm turning 36 this month and I'm too old for it.
Yes, I feel growing more mature. Maybe stop with all these kicks. I have a lot pictures of sexy girls (not too young) and women on my hard drive, but collecting more doesn't feel good anymore. I'll use the stuff I have though for the mindmaps I create with Prezi. It's part of my history, so it's good.

In general: if, in real life, a (mature) man keeps thinking and acting like a (immature) boy, a (mature) woman might lose interest soon.
Agree.
However one can still love young girls if one's mature. Maybe Nabakov was one of them.
I think however I won't consider it. I really feel some sort of gap now between me and young girls, that wasn't there a week ago.

What the actual fuck? Are we saying that just because Nabokov wrote
Lolita, that means he supported pedophiles or was a pedophile? This is terrifying.
And just so you know, Nabokov's wife, to whom he was devoted all his life, was only 3 years younger than he was.

+1.
Quote from: V.N.Lolita is a special favorite of mine. It was my most difficult book—the book that treated of a theme which was so distant, so remote, from my own emotional life that it gave me a special pleasure to use my combinational talent to make it real.
Quote from: V.N.I would say that of all my books Lolita has left me with the most pleasurable afterglow—perhaps because it is the purest of all, the most abstract and carefully contrived. I am probably responsible for the odd fact that people don't seem to name their daughters Lolita any more. I have heard of young female poodles being given that name since 1956, but of no human beings.

Is Lolita about a pedophile? Didn't read the book, but I thought it was just quite innocent.

Oh yes, a very erudite and (satirically) professorial pedophile, who (in essence) abducts a 12-year old. $:)
You can find a summary here:

Ok, already found some information.
Let me make clear I'm not a pedophile. These guys must have a hard life, unless they actually practicise their sexuality. Even just masturbating. I would certainly sterilize myself if I was. What a relief would that be!

Let me be clear. I mean with "young girls" no childs, but girls who are mature enough for sex with one other.
I myself was a young guy a week ago, now I've grown an old guy / adult (maybe some hours to go yet however). :)
Things go wrong again. I feel myself be accused of the most terrible things. Once more things get related to Nietzsche.

We have Nabokov on our side!
Shouldn't have written this, if I don't know what I am talking about. A lesson for me.

Nobody here is accusing you of anything (well, apart from speaking of
Nabokov as if you knew what you spoke of, but you clarified yourself already),
Henk. Take it easy. :)
I already have a hard history with girls.
The worst thing, to confess one thing, the rest is innocence, for which I feel still guilty is that I tweeted Bar Refaeli, a model, and took her the advice to postpone pregnancy till she would be 36 years old. For in this way she could enjoy her youth longer. I think there was a cause for it, but I don't know exactly any more.
I feel still bad about it with panical feelings at times, like now. What if I damaged her for maybe whole her life?
I wrote her more tweets, innocent, but still there is a context of tweets and she might have internalized things. I think not, but a FB photo of her with a serious face, which can be interpreted as sad, triggers the whole thing, like other things as well. So I wait now, worried and questioning my consience, to see her happy.
I've seen pictures of that lady. She needs to eat a bit more IMO, she looks nearly malnourished. Then again, most models seem to look like that.
Also people looking at my Twitter favourites could think that I am some sort of pervert, which makes things worse. I reflect on this now, because I stopped with it.
Is collecting pictures of sexy women perverse?
I have my own codes for it, and so I can look myself in the mirror and that's what counts for me. But it's not easy getting all kind of signals at once that you are a some kind of pervert.
The only thing it makes sad. Masturbating is the most saddest thing a human can do, said Harry Mulisch.
So it can influence your whole life in a bad way. But I have found a solution for myself, to have the love I need. Doesn't fix everything however, but I can live with it.
From now on I just gonna put my antrophology glasses on watching young people's behaviour.

A more personal advice (to some) might be: grow up a little, get rid of all those Teenage Kicks and start thinking of the other sexe as (mature) WOMEN instead of (childish) girls.
Talk about describing the type of women I don't like. I don't think that has anything to do with growing up, either. I have to be mature, goal-oriented and work-oriented to get through each day already. It's not fun. Telling me something that is about as futile as telling a gay man to go straight- you can't help which personality type you are attracted to, either.
Some older women can retain that type of personality, and I think it's an attractive quality. For example, my FF11 linkshell leader or my friend's mom. (Though I'm not into women 20 years older than me). My FF11 linkshell leader, I swear, I could almost have fallen in love with just reading her chat and not looking at a picture. Greeting ten people individually like "hi Greg :)," "hi otherperson :)" or accidentally typing into the wrong chat 3 times in a row is just hilarious and endearing at the same time.
Probably why I joke about marrying that anime character, Yui Hirasawa. The looks, the moe/cute/goofy personality and being interested in something I also like (playing guitar). Many women have the first two or the last two qualities, but I've yet to encounter one that has all three. Even in fiction it's somewhat rare. I don't think I could ever not be attracted while recalling the scenes of her rolling around the floor while reading a manga, only to stop to eat a single potato and then giggle; or sleeping with her guitar; or randomly making a messed up looking claw and remarking that it's a D Minor chord. She also never gets angry at anyone. If someone just like her existed in the real world, I'd probably lose my mind- it would be the only thing that would encourage me to have a traditional sort of male role: marry and have kids with her, letting her stay at home and working for her to make her life easy. But for now, I really don't see the point of working for anyone else, marrying, or having kids.
Of course, there's too much of a good thing, too. My friend, for example, has that sort of personality, but when she gets drunk and talks like a 5 year old, there's nothing attractive about that at all.
Greg, there's nowadays a lot of talk about "designer babies". If that will become reality, or let's say rather you would have been a product of it, then you would become happy?
That's in my view a danger of todays society. People like you, just saying it rude, but I value you high, have certain expectations beforehand, your reality is pre-structured by virtual worlds in which you develop certain artificial preferences served for you by others.. The things you mention are just memes.
Genetical modification is an interesting topic however, of which much things can be said as well of virtual worlds, social media etcetera. It will change everything, it already does so.. the thing is we must take the benefits of it.

Henk, in the unlikely case you're not trolling us to oblivion, let me say this: if you seriously believe a celebrity of any kind cares about what you tweet, your perception of reality needs fixing.

There are people who actually discover such things in their lover before expecting it. That's rather real love. Yours can only be dissillusion. Even, Greg, when you find a girl like it, I think it won't work. There's always something that doesn't match your 'constructed' ideal.

Well, Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, and he certainly killed a notable royal while sleeping as his honored guest 8)
This dismal thread is certainly getting more activity than the legitimate Shakespeare thread.

I think Henk needs to seek out counseling and the assistance of professionals with some of his thoughts and mental habits.
This thread has certainly made a turn for the worse. It really should be put out of its misery. Mods...what do you think?

I'm not reassured.

Or maybe rather yes. I can say much things about it, but I will not elaborate further.
