Look around in my controls.


The thing is, they really don't have the perspective that we do. Yes, it's really, really painful to see her pick a douche over you, but I'm sure she doesn't realize it. Eventually she will, and maybe at that time, you'll be waiting and she'll be ready for someone better. Then again, maybe not. Maybe by then you'll have found someone better (although it seems impossible right now). Life's funny that way sometimes. Everyone here is hoping it works out for you, as you deserve. Just try to keep in mind that there are people all around the country who may not have even met you but sincerely care about your well-being and believe you deserve the best.

It's always been sort of a bummer for me when I see a good (nice, funny, etc) guy fall for a total bitch, just because she's pretty and/or happened to give him some kind of attention. But then again, these guys choose to get into and stay in these ridiculous relationships.

So I guess my feelings are that they feel the repercussions of the unfortunate pairing, and if they think that's worth it, then I guess that's their choice.

Still, I wish you the best. I have faith it will all work out.

Also, I feel like this comic somehow fits the subject at hand:

It's a matter of perspective too. Maybe this guy my ex is dating appears to be nice and funny and "good", but his actions show that he has zero integrity and is a dishonest smurf. But people won't realize that. Same goes for the opposite-gender situation. Anyway, thanks. Good luck to you too.

UC: I've turned another thread emo. Let's get back to typical ADT.

RT: Whenever I cut my fingernails, I end up cutting them all even if I just intended to trim one or two long ones. I guess it's compulsiveness due to playing the piano, even though I haven't played in nearly a month (which is, in turn, a UC).

PS: 6-hour power energy shots work, I am wide awake.

PS: Emily actually came over and sat next to me in class today.

UC:I don't know if It was just to see the game board better.

Girls are often the immature, irrational, and opportunistic sex. We kind of get a bad rap, especially as teenagers.

THAT!

Some of us can't help that we find bitchy women very attractive

Ehh to be honest, I tend to believe girls generally have the best intentions in mind, which I can't say for most of us. Then again the girls I'm friendly with are basically just the nice, smart ones, so I'm probably way off if I generalize that to the whole population. Still, I'm not all that high on the decency of most men.

Nah, they just have you fooled...

Decency has nothing to do with gender.

I FRIGGIN HATE MACLAURIN SERIES.

So does God.

PS: I can save my data.

UC: It will cost 170 bucks.

(Well, I'm doing it anyway, so I can get back to statistic-izin' in a few days.)

One of the few things I almost always get in calculus. Buuut I'm guessing yours are harder. By a lot.

probably not, actually.

This.

Look, what most of you guys fail to understand is that guys do all the same things you are complaining about. They have unrealistic expectations of what a girl is supposed to look and act like, and are immediately frightened by any signs of intelligence. And, of course, the response to this will be "only douches are like this", etc., but only stupid, worthless girls date assholes. Nice girls exist, but they aren't always the most obvious candidates.

Bolded= I agree.

Why don't you agree with this:


It's true. Only douchey guys do it, but still.

And to clarify, I merely said



to avoid making untrue blanket statements. I agree, guys and girls do the same things.

Another thing: have any of you guys considered that having no luck with ladies is your fault? I'm sure most of you wouldn't date an ugly, creepy girl. Can you expect girls to make exceptions you wouldn't?

Well... it completely doesn't apply to me. I can't stand girls who aren't smart. Most of my friends really like girls who are as smart or smarter than them (although these are few and far between at my high school, for some reason). Most guys, though... yeah, I could sorta see that.

Ouch, and double standards suck so no.

Oh, of course. I was mostly addressing others' issues. My problems are entirely my fault. This post is seriously not sarcastic.

Look:

I don't mean to be (too) harsh, but even the most insecure of guys have these really ridiculous expectations of girls. Most of the posters here, I would say, are probably only a little guilty of this, but still. It's a good thought to have.

HR: What happened to Mike Rollins mania?

it is unspoken and just as prevalent.

You do suck.
Be a little more aggressive, express some interest. I don't know many girls who are comfortable making the first move.

1. I'm not complaining that I have no luck, I'm actually doing pretty well.
2. We want to complain by nature whether we have grounds to or not. It's a biological imperative, I'm pretty sure.

In that case, I haven't seen a Rollins post for a while, has he ascended to another dimension of being or something like that?

It was a pretty generalized statement, RM.

No need to start getting defensive. It signals an insecurity.

you shut your noob mouth.

So much for equality, girls should be a little more aggressive too.

Awww, debater can't get any wimmens either?



note: don't worry, I am sure you have much success with the opposite sex. or the same, if you're feeling frisky.

Who said anything about equality?

i've said all i have to say on this matter.

Equality? Don't be naïve. Girls are told from a very young age that aggression is bad. It's hard for most to turn back the tides. I'm merely discussing what is, and not what should be.

Edit: When I say "bad", I mean that it is discouraged socially. A sexually aggressive girl is a slut, an athletically aggressive girl is butch. There are a lot of pretty obvious double standards here.

The way to cultivate a good relationship is not to be "aggressive". It's to be polite, courteous, honest, and open.

I'm not talking about cultivating a relationship. I'm talking about having relations with girls on a basic level.

Probably extremely good advice.

Yeah, well

here's some unfair things: attractiveness is a prerequisite. until you're good looking, everything you do will be construed as creepy rather than charming or cute.

so, just be sure and be good looking, ok guys?

You should teach a course on this amazing program.

This is so true. I've never known a girl to say "I met such a smart guy today!" or "Oh my god, check him out, he's so cultured!"

It's always "OMG HOT GUY!!!!!!!"

And this is true even for girls I generally respect.

Not necessarily. I'm OK-looking (my girlfriend always said I was good-looking), but then she dumped me for a guy who is, to put it mildly, uglier than a smurfing troll with smurf on its smurf.

PS: I finally managed to become today's top poster, now I can finally sleep knowing I accomplished my life's purpose.

Och. I'm not that bad looking or creepy.

GUYS
DO
THE
SAME
THING

They notice when a pretty girl walks in the room. Smart girls? Smart girls are usually (don't start on the whole "I'm not like that" spiel, because I could go on and on about how I'm not like the girls you are all talking about, and it wouldn't matter) ignored or feared.

Unless he's a teacher and over 40.

Otherwise, yes, it's always OMG HOT GUY.

If it's your life's purpose, you might as well just kill yourself. I mean, you've peaked already. Not much more to live for.

I wasn't saying you were. It's okay. But sometimes guys expect to have this perfect girl when they aren't so perfect themselves, and it's not fair.
