jtval 0 #128 December 7, 2009 Quote Meh.. I'm sure the accent doesn't help, but not all those rejections were in the UK - some of them were from back home as well!!! *sigh*.. That's life, isn't it? I'm living-breathing proof that being hot is just not enough! Well, your accent back home isn't an accent so you lose there too. Come to the US where your slight accent will work for ya. Lemme know when you're in my part of the world I'll show ya.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #133 December 7, 2009 Quote Almost everybody gets the attention that they deserve. Agreed. As a matter of fact, I agree with just about your whole post, Bill. I have a hard time feeling sorry for men or women demanding for attention, that they aren't getting. There is plenty of flirting that happens between the lines in subtle or obvious ways, and if someone isn't reading what seems like obvious clues, then they aren't suitable for the other person, anyway. They simply don't get it, and the two aren't compatible. Move on. As for my answer to the OP's question...I'll take "cream and cake with it" because it sounds yummy.

People who define their contact with the other sex based entirely on looks and sexual opportunity are destined for loneliness, even if they succeed in finding someone of similar mindset. I know women that I am not compatible with on a dating-level, but we are good friends because they are good people. I also introduce them to other friends because they may be good together. People who reduce all contacts to sex will not have any friends among 50% of the population. It is a dumb idea to exclude half of everyone from your life.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #138 December 8, 2009 Quote Hey i said i feel sorry for you. I'm here to help. I'm not sure why you ALWAYS put me down in posts, but I don't honestly care. I agreed with Bill's post and put in my two cents, but you put ME down, never anyone else. It's over-the-top rude... As for attention, I don't need attention on DZ.com. I have more than enough friends, and I'm dating someone wonderful. That's the "cream and cake" option, remember? I have no idea how one post on here is asking for attention...

Nope the deal is this, walk up to guy, look guy straight in the eyes, say hi and introduce your self, talk, if you like take number go back to table and pound some sort of strange colored cocktail that is served in a fish bowl and high five your friends.

mutumbo 0 #142 December 8, 2009 Quote Quote I have this mental image of a post in a jazz forum somewhere, where a woman is posting "women outnumber men here by 10 to 1, and the other 9 guys are sitting on the couch watching a football game drinking Bud Light and farting." I used to have an interest in owning a horse at one point so I'd read the horseback forums for Florida. In one forum the women there were lamenting that there's no men in the sport, outside of the business side of it. So yeah, that definitely happens. looks like im buying a horse!!Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

pontiacgtp00 0 #144 December 8, 2009 Oh and it also helps if you don't introduce yourself to the guy in the suit who drove a jaguar to the club. Try the guy who drove the old ford truck. He won't turn you away unless he's married. Even then, probably not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No half ass ok! All ass or go home! This is a revolution not some sort of high school dance. I know one thing.. I hate bars and clubs.. So I'm pretty unlikely to find someone there.. The thing is Shah.. Walking up to a random stranger and getting a phone number isn't difficult. Heck.. Men who do this have a pretty good chance of walking away with a phone number as well.. It's not difficult to find *someone*.. It's difficult to find a good partner. Someone who is compatible with you & has similar goals & outlooks on life. You could spend all evening in a pub, go up to each and every person in there, and chances are you will not bump into a viable match. Then again, you could go out and do something you enjoy, and meet someone like-minded that just instantly clicks with you somehow.. This isn't about getting phone numbers. I can get phone numbers. Been there, done that. What you're suggesting isn't some kind of revolution.. Women approach men much more often than you realise.. We just don't always seem to get a response because the guy is either uninterested or clueless - either way, we face rejection too.. I don't think it's true that women just sit around waiting for men to make the first move.. Come on.. This isn't the Victorian Age..

Next thing you know they'll want to vote.I feel your pain on the bar scene, Nataly. I don't put much value in meeting someone at the bar. But i'll play devil's advocate Some of the people in bars are climbers, hikers, runners, outdoorsy, self-reliant, goal oreinted etc... I don't kow if thats what you are looking for specifically but its possible that they are there. However, They're not showing themselves in that light. BARFLY's will make themselves known with a quickness. The most time I spent in a bar in the last year is at our running club. Man, you could tell a difference between the drunks who have nothing left to do with their lives and those who just stopped in for a beer. Problem is, You have a better chance of meeting the barfly's because they never freaking leave. The quality people are only there for a few hours a year. But that's like trying to find a diamond in the rough.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #147 December 8, 2009 Nat, don't take this the wrong way.....but I wouldn't date you. You just have too many excuses. Let's go out on Tuesday.......excuse excuse excuse... Let's try this new place to eat.....excuse excuse excuse. All you have given me are excuses which means you are either afraid of failing, which I can totally understand. Or think your poop don't stink and that the perfect man with the perfect smile and who never farts will fall from the sky in his convertible jag drive by you, do some sort of James Bond 360 spin pick up a hand full of flowers and drive back to you jump from his car in a full tuxedo land get on his knees and propose to you. Now back on track, I said "look for guy, make eye contract, walk over, talk, if you like him get his number, return back to gaggle of gals and drink large rainbow colored cocktail. And it doesn't even have to be a bar, heck a book store will do just fine. Now ladies, please give me another excuse. You Nat have used up all your excuses.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
