Twink, is this a fight worth your energies? This one I'd let go, it won't accomplish anything except make you feel bad. There will come a time when you'll learn to smile at the crap people say, say "Thank you for your input." and walk away. It only has to affect you if you let it. IP: Logged |

Nah don't listen to them.......Let the anger flow through you. Feel the power of the dark side. I was in a particularly foul mood when I wrote that last post. It wasn't really meant to be rude. *shrug* But.....feel free to hold it against me as long as you like. //Thom// ------------------ IP: Logged |

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? ------------------ IP: Logged |

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. ------------------ IP: Logged |

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....

quote: 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.

However, I don't enjoy following fads and/or mimicking others, so I don't wear mine to school and such. It sickens me that I'd need to wear things others are just to be 'comfy'...that altogether makes me feel uncomfortable. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Here I am to kick a dead horse. What my experience was (I say was because I'm happily married, and have been for 4 years) may or may not help but here goes. Don't: Try to be something you're not. Most girls will see right through it. Try to force girls to accept you for who you are. People have prejudices, and (unfortunately) will commonly exclude you from their circle of friends because of your opinions/beliefs/behaviors. Its sad, but it happens, so remember that if they don't like you for who you are, you'd probably be miserable if you stuck with them for long anyway. Give up on yourself. You will sometimes feel as though you are worthless, or that no one likes you. Don't believe it, and don't fall for it. You're better than that, and often, that's part of the reason that people will ostracize you. This is a short list, but are the most important ones I could think of off the top of my head. Best of luck to all of you. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Eastern philosophy makes more sense anyway. now on to the real issue: PJ's. I find that woodland cammo pants make excellent PJs. comfy, durable with all kinds of pocket space. Anyway, i'm over reading Neitczhe. as a matter of fact, i'm back to reading works by Tesla. IP: Logged |

We all need to stop talking about "The Rules" because there really is no such thing. Rules change on an individual basis from relationship to relationship. For instance, flowers and romance and intellectual conversations are all well and good, but for me, the *best* part of being with someone is being able to sit in a room together, be quiet, and just breath, and let the rest of the world go away. And I personally feel that the best pajamas are any kind of flannel ones, as long as they have kitties on them. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Thank you, heir roach, for your kind words, truly you are an ubberman to be. Twinkle, I meant that the guys who said "reading is a turn off to girls" were over generalizing, and the girls who said "Yes we do" are people from the board and will be more intelligent than the girl next door, unless she happens to be a geek. The comment about "The Rules" was to mean that I didn't know everything, just that what I typically do has worked for me (untill recent, when I am attracting people who aren't my type). Now, what won't get you a girl? Look at Pope of Perl's "What Not to Do" list in the "Found Geekette in training..." thread. Add to that list: IP: Logged |

Speaking of phone numbers, I was just reading about a "rejection line" in NYC-if you don't want to go out with someone, you can give him the number 212-479-7990. He will get a recorded message saying that the person who gave this to you doesn't want to ever see you again. Then you can press options for "comfort specialists",who tell you she wasn't good enough for you, etc. I called it for the heck of it, and it's pretty funny. I know-it's not very sensitive, but you have to take it as the joke it was meant to be. Please don't yell at me, guys. IP: Logged |

snupy: That phone number - now that is so bloody stupid, what on earth did you... haha, just kidding ya ;-) I like it actually, a fittingly evil sense of humour. Now, the only couple of annoying girls I had after me when I was younger never asked me for my number, else that would have been fun. OK, one of them would have deserved it, but I feel sorry for the other actually, she seemed nice enough, but I don't think was my type. Now, I know of the one person I really ought to have given that to - my female tag-along at university. I always thought she was in her twenties, but she told me, and maintains, that she's 50-something (wth?). I won't post anything cruel (no matter how true) here, I don't want to be slanderous, but that number does sound deliciously good to use on her. No, I'd never do anything like that, which is probably why I got stuck with her for so long. With luck, we'll be doing different modules this year, and I'll see as little of her as possible, before I actually snap... ;-) - uilleann IP: Logged |

Quoting Bregalad: If you can't tell the difference between a 25 year old and a 50 year old you need to get your eyes checked. It doesn't matter how well you take care of yourself, time leaves its mark on all of us. That is the thing, though, I should be able to tell (my vision is adequate), and that is what worries me. She isn't exactly the most truthful person I know, and at first I thought it was just some sort of stupid joke or deceit. Now, I really don't know. She's also genuinely paranoid, it seems (she came from some African state, so mabye her life as a child genuinely harmed her mind, I don't know, but she makes Nayt seem somewhat on the mild side) but also motherly (eww, please, my own mother is enough, thanks). Grr...</rant> Edit: Just asked a fellow student over AIM how old he reckons she is; he replied: "36? she ain't 50 something. She is clearly deranged." Well, there you go. - uilleann IP: Logged |
