I think that sounds reasonable, but Bob said he didn't want it to turn into an "Us against John" situation.

That's just it- when you're among a group of friends that you're comfortable with- you like them, you thik they like you- it doesn't seem like a big deal to walk up and say "Hey! What's up?" I'm sure that's what John is doing, thinking that everyone's just as happy to see him as he is to see them. But even the socially challenged can tell from across the room when a guy is doing his pick-up routine. I mean, a guy, a girl, exchanging glances, lightly touching on the arm, lots of giggling, maybe intense heads-together conversation, do be do be do... you get the picture. I can't imagine John busting in on something like that, and I'm thinking these guys are just being whiney little babies... no?

Nice smile! A bit mischievous with the sparkly eyes...

My pleasure! Yes, please!

YES they do! This is a bunch of junior high psuedo-drama bullshit. You're right- it is rude. Even when you're among friends, you can't just walk up and expect to be welcomed into a two-person circle...

John would never do something like that. I mean, he doesn't even cuss in front of me out of respect- he's a total gentleman. I've been to plenty of parties with him, and NEVER seen him get even the slightest bit out of hand. He does, however, get bored and restless easily, which leads to him wandering around and accidentally ruining mojo. I too would like to see one of these blocks...

personal attack, personal attack. on a now official post whoring quest to hijack this thread... I had no such intentions, read my post before this one I was trying to help, but now.... moowaaaahaaa Ooh- no fair! You posted this while I was replying to you! I appreciated your input! And now, you accuse me of attacking, though it is common knowledge that the title of postwhore is practically an honor around here! Why, I oughtta . . . Sigh. Hijack if you must... I'm sure plenty of other people will help me out... 'sall good dude you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

You and DJL make good points. To your point- the guys don't care what the girls think (I'm sure they all think every woman wants them), it's the perception of intentional blocking that's pissing them off, even if the intended receiver didn't want it anyway. DJL- you're right. I think my buddy is just oblivious.

Ooohhh! Nice triceps!! There are hotties all over this forum! C'mon guys! More pictures! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

yardhippie, slim, you postwhores, stop hijacking my thread! Don't make me pull this thread over!

I'm thinking they need to instate a group rule: If you see a guy, talking to a girl, all by themselves, DO NOT insert yourself into the conversation. I guess I can see the point: if a guy is trying to hook up, another guy butting in seriously derails the flow and direction he was heading...

See! That's what I think! John's not doing it on purpose, I mean, he's not being predatory about it at all. I think the rest of the guys should pull their wadded jockeys out of their butts and learn to fend for themselves. For that matter, if I've got the hots for a guy, and another guy joins the conversation, I'm not going to suddenly change my mind. And if I'm not interested in the first place, it doesn't matter anyway.

This is a guy issue I don't know how to handle- need some suggestions please. Here goes: a guy I know, Bob*, just asked me for advice about our mutual friend, another guy I have known for a long time and am fairly close to (platonically). Seems this mutual friend, we'll call him John, has a habit of going to parties and cockblocking the other guys who are trying to hook up. I'm not sure what this entails, though I can't imagine he's doing much more than joining conversations. Whatever he's doing, it's enough that the other guys are ready to shut him out. Bob, as the leader of this group, has been asked to do something. He is trying to be sensitive about it since John tends to have depression issues, and also, Bob really would like to keep John in the group. I made several suggestions: 1. Hook Bob up first- keep him occupied 2. Flat out tell him to take a hike when he moves in 3. Team up and sideline him if a potential cockblock scenario presents itself. They already tried those, and they didn't work. I swear, it's like a mating episode on 'Wild Kingdom'. So, I'm at a loss. Suggestions are welcome. Oh, and these are whuffos I'm talking about, so please bear that in mind... Thanks. *names have been changed to protect the innocent you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

ooohhh, myyy! Thank you! tee hee!

LSHICAPAL!! (laughing so hard I cried and peed a little) just kidding about the pee . . . that's just gross . . . you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

My instructor stopped giving me landing instructions almost from the get-go, but of course I still wore a radio through student status. On a particularly beautiful fall day, with lots of people on the DZ, I had done several jumps. My instructor had been messing with me most of the day too- to which I always responded in kind. Well, on final approach, I'm concentrating, in full flight, aware of all the spectators, when he comes in over the radio: "Hey Rebecca, don't fuck up!" Yeah, guess what happened. "OMG- don't fuck up! Don't fuck up!" "That was NOT my fault!!!" EVERYONE was laughing. Hee hee- it WAS pretty damn funny . . . and it looked great on the video he shot.

I keep clicking, but nothing's happening! nuthin'! I know we've already established there's no link . . . I just felt like posting. (ugh- I feel so dirty.)

Actually, I DO. I'm an AF brat, and I've got a BIG weakness for Air Force dudes- especially PJs and pilots!! edit: You're welcome!

NOOOOOooooo!!! Take it back! This thread should stay just as it is... an unlocked haven for all the fine men out there to explore their exhibitionist urges in a safe, non-threatening environment. That said, hot damn, JT and TB!! Lookin' good!!! So, uh, how you doin'?

Yay!! Say hi to Cora for me- she SO rocks! Hope you ladies have a fantastic time! (Wish I could be there- I'd love to meet you too, Michele!) Take care and have soft landings!

AGAIN with the slacking, people! Sigh. That's okay- that's okay- it's not your fault- I'll take care of it . . . BBBEEEEEEEEEEERR!!! There- all better . . . Welcome!!

I can't believe nobody has said it already... sheesh, slackers. Here goes: BEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!! Come on in, dude, the forums are fine...

{{}} That's an extra special hug for you, sweetie! (even though I don't know you-- you seem like someone I'd want to hug) OK, now I'm REALLY going to bed!! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

OOOoohhh!!! Bytch, I am SO jealous!! OK, drunk now-- going to bed ... really ... I am ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
