no matter what you do, there is at least one girl who doesn't mind. every time I think something is obviously gonna send the girls screaming away, I run into a site full of girls who enjoy it. I recently discovered a site for people who enjoy vomit. nobody should have to change, just find the someone who shares your interests, they are out there..........Z

Excuse me?? I am not 'whipped', by anyone. I don't even know Cockroach that well,...I'm just being playful when I make those fun little sexual comments that I know most people hear like reading. So I'm afraid you've read wrong, Mac.

Woah there! Settle down! I didn't mean anything by it, hence the winky. I was just trying to be a little playful, must've backfired. Woah!  ------------------

Starting with the first post:
The famous (overrated) philosopher is written NIETZSCHE.
Enjoy. Or better rad Marx - he´s actually right, and definitely easier to spell!

Nietzsche, Marx, both so angry. Kierkegaard and Pascal are more appealing. Not only is Pascal a mathematician as well as a philosopher, but by reading his Pensees I was able to understand exactly what it was I disliked so much about my ex-boyfriend.

Consider it the "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I don't think the Bible really explores this verse to all its very bawdy possibilities.
Longmont in particular is indeed pretty conservative. Ten miles south in Boulder (where I am) it is much more "liberal" in the sense of embracing the left-wing mostly but still "conservative" in the sense of not being too tolerant of anything else. But I like it, am 12 minutes by bike from work, and can hit Denver in a trice if I am in need of a smoky bar... Back on topic, I've found the drunken lurching interaction surprisingly ineffective at impressing anyone. I don't know how college kids do it. Two of my favorite moments: Me: lemme see yr lef hand.
She: (lifts her hand)
Me: oh good ysee at my age I hafta check see if yr married first har har har
She: ohhhhkayyy (backs away slowly) She: anyone have a lighter?
Me: I have THE lighter! (pulls out very ordinary Zippo) See the lighter? (waves Zippo around in her face) THE LIGHTER!
She: ohhhhkayyy (backs away slowly) |<>

Imean your dad will let you do certain things (such as braid the fuses on five pop bottle rockets and light them) that would cause your mom to have a premature heart attack. ------------------

This reminds me of another thing that will not get women... Having bottle rocket fights... Girls seem to run away and get really pissed off.... Not that I uhhh would do something like that... It must have inadvertently missed my best friend who was standing err...behind me..
*snicker* Ahh the stupid things I did as a kid... It's a wonder I'm still alive. //Thom// ------------------

Alright, first, most girls on this board are admitted geeks, and so their perspective on intelligence isn't the same as most of the girls out there. However, your over generalizing guys. I don't think the average girl cares one way or another about if we read, I think it bothers pop-culture warped fragments of society when we read things that require extra thought, so yes Neitchize is a turn off to pop-culture. Neichize is also quite conratversial and thus a lot of geek girls will have other problems with a guy who spouts Neitchize, or they could feel that constant quoting from "intellectual sources" is to make up for a lack of original thinking.Please keep in mind that I am male, and can't know "The Rules" or they will change "The Rules" as per the last rule (the only rule I know) which is "If any guy learns The Rules, The Rules must change to keep them guessing." So, this is just my take on one matter, please don't kill me for my position in this matter. Also, the attempt to impress them, I think, is only a bad thing when it covers up who you are. I managed to stay attached for 6 continuous years by trying to make the girl happy.... Not so much impress them, but trying to suprise them and keep things intresting... Picknics in the living room, sparkling white grape juice (as I don't drink) and roses whenever I knew it was a tough week, bending over backward to cheer them up.... The problem with trying to impress a girl, in my opinion is that it becomes a show of "I'm so great, you want to be with me...." and if there is anything we learned from human endevour the other person will like you more if you are more interested in them then your self "What can I do for you? How was your day?" Ever book in being a better salesman, better bussinessman or better manager tells you to treat your employees, your clients and your bosses with this kind of respect focused on them. Why then do feel we need to turn the attention of romantic relations on ourselves? ------------------

Wow...GameMaster, I'm taking advice from you now. You certainly seem to know what you're doing. Well, that, and your philosophy about just trying to make them happy goes along with my personal ideas about relationships (That is, if I were to ever actually get into a relationship). I bow to you, oh wise Sensai. ------------------

Heh.. funny you should mention "The Rules" I'm female, and I"ll be damned if *I* know what they are... other than silly..... just my 2 cents....

I never understood why so many of my guy friends seemed to be drawn to the girls who mandated being "impressed" all the time.. Is being with someone really worth trying to impress them all the time? Yes, it is nice to get flowers or be taken out to dinner if you've had a bad day, or even if you haven't, but just having someone to sit around and talk with in sweatpants is nice too. Whey we feel the need to turn the attention of romantic interests on ourselves is probably because we want them to take the interest in us... It is flattering to have someone be interested in you, and from my experience, if you are trying to get into a relationship, the hard part is usually getting them to respond. You already know you want to be with them, but you have to convince them that they want to be with you. Why do male birds have brighter feathers than their female counterparts? To be noticed. To impress the female birds.. Its the same idea.. I don't know, I'm tired, so I'm probly not making sense but personally, I'd take sitting around in pajamas with someone i could have interesting conversations with over flowers any day....

Oh, no no...I don't overgeneralize. But I don't really understand how this paragraph pertains to me...maybe all of it doesn't (but at least in the beginning, it was directed towards me). How have I overgeneralized guys anywho, to your opinon...?------------------

What about flowers, and pleasant conversation while wearing pajamas - would that be even better? Since I certainly don't have the "Rule Book," I wouldn't know, but I have perceived the comfort thing. For early classes, I will routinely see girls in class in pajama pants (or similar items), or the next runner-up would seem to be running pants (pun sort of intended). Personally, I find this interesting, as I guess I would feel out of place dressed like this, though it would probably be quite comfortable. I guess men just can get cut this slack, since perhaps we aren't expected to wear clothing that is potentially uncomfortable (except for some suits), on a routine basis. Curiously, as my current pair was getting tattered, and I've seen ads which tout pajama pants as being a fashion item, I went out to get a pair, and found them labelled "Lounge pants." That makes me feel like an odd person lounging around in my pajamas all day (possibly an old coot), and I don't really intend to wear them out of my house ever, but rather, just for sleeping mainly. I guess it makes a difference that I work in our IT dept after class, and I'd feel silly even in running pants. But if a woman wears it, they are "cute." Such things never cease to amaze me. We live in a world of double or triple standards. Mainly I just want someone I can be around, whose company I enjoy, and good conversations would take place... I'm losing focus, so I'll stop here.
