<< They might as well go try and coat bullets with neosporin ointment. >>



Am I going to be the first to comment on this great imagery? Good line, Square!

I am on the side of "Stop looking, cause thats the only way to meet people."

Pouncing on any chick who smiles back is not the way to meet keepers (I know from experience).

Beat me to that line, CherryTwist

It's all yours. But if my bitterness can bring you a little happiness, what does that say about my bitterness? I'll ponder that awhile.

Well, if it makes you feel better (or is that worse?), it doesn't really make me happy in a "wow, this is great" kind of way. More of a "cool, someone else thinks life sucks" kind of way. Bitterness loves company?

Ah, I think I'll just log off for a while today. I really am in a pisser of a mood. I hate the holidays.

why give up? chasing women is a healthy sport. you lose most of the time but when you win, you get laid.

<< Hey some women aren't atracted to Clooney! >>


So true, tm37. Count me among those women. Nor am I attracted to Mel Gibson, Fabio, the guy from Angel and a number of other male stars who are considered universally attractive to women


<< that's right, throw in your towel... MORE FOR ME! >>

amnesiac, dude, that is freaky, you described my own situation in as many words...im a normal guy, but freaky chicks dig me. its weird...every girl i've liked has turned out to be a nympho (no, i'm not down with that, they are scary anyway) heavy drug user, engaged or some weird sh1t. they've all been hotties though....just last week i got hit on at a party by a hot pair of twins...and yes, i have pics.
oh well, there have to be some semi-normal girls out there tho...

and to you mopers out there, yeah, take a break from chasing chicks. they won't like you until you like you anyway. once your'e happy just being yourself and being w/your friends, the girls will come.

Here's some Lyrics written by Paul Simon after enduring a heart wrenching Breakup with a women he loved dearly



<< A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
>>



Those were words I lived by after my breakup with my Ex Wife, except instead of Books and Poetry it was Computers. The problem is when you build such high walls sometimes they are very difficult to break down.
Nobody like pain but pain is something that is reserved for those who take chances and live life to it fullest.. as is happiness. Also keep in mind that both pain and happiness are fleeting, it just seems like pain lasts longer. The reason is pain is something one usually endures alone where as happiness is something that is usually shared. Being lonely can be painful but the moment you find happiness, especially happiness you share with a special person, all the pain you endured becomes ancient history.

Until the next time

you have no feelings and dont care about anyones feelings.

*kat. <-- so jaded on love, she doesnt even believe in it anymore.

Kinda know what you mean. I just broke up with my girl of 1 year, 1 week, 2 days and a morning. For what reason? Who bloody well knows . And that makes it tough that I still love her so much. I'm gonna take a long brake from this relationship business and simplify things.

she doesnt even believe in it anymore.

In life we sometimes find ourselves at such moments of despair and sadness that the only solution readily available is to wallow in one's own misery and bitterness. Ah bitterness, my only true friend. To hold you in my arms, to cradle you, to love your company and to know that no matter what, you will always be there for me. Sometimes, that's really all we think we have when our "friends" desert us and when we think that we are the unluckiest people on the planet. But what good is that? Ah, I hold my bitterness with such despair that bitterness to deserts me. What is left after bitterness then? Meaningless, meaningless, all is meaningless.

At the end of it all, we realize that if we give up that belief in the impossible, if we let go of heaven and lose all faith in ourselves and in our fellow human beings, we become those base monstrosities we ourselves fear.

My dear, let go of the pain, I realize that I am asking the impossible and that bitterness really can provide some comfort but to lose faith in the goodness of other people, of their worth and of the contributions they make to countless lives is to lose a part of oneself that is very difficult to regain. Call me a hopeless optimist, but I've also "been there and done that" and at the end of it all, there really is nothing left but love.

You claim that you have lost all belief in love and I claim that there is nothing but love. Reach for heaven, you never know when you might actually grab it. But make sure you have a good grip


Cheers !

I don't agree with that...and none of my brethren will be going down quite with this type of statement...believe me! [let the flames begin guys]..... let me tell you something, i'm 23 right now,and i am just realizing that i lost a big opportunity in college....first thing, i know, you might think this you should ve learned when u were in High school- i will be honest, none of u heffers don't know me- i didn't realize how much mother flushing difference that clothing makes - man, i used to wear Jeans bought from Walmart, boxers from Gabes, socks from K-mart, shoes from Target.....and that was all done only twice a year...... all that was a negative. I regret that i didn't get laid at that time, because right now, the pool to choose ppl to choose from has decreased considerably....in all this, there's a woman named "pulis" was on my mind for 3yrs to lose my focus from screwing around...... i wanted her bad! i wish i could go back to college! i'be the master pimp....

Dude, clothes don't make a man. You can put perfume on a pig and it will still be a pig.

eakers,

I'm pretty girly, does that mean I'm excluded from your "I lost all respect for men" phrase?

here is a girl generalization for you: chicks date the lamest guys and then bitch to the nicest guys about how lame the ones they date are.

Solution: go pound a couple of 40's and then you won't have any problem thinking that a female is attractive.....although the attraction may only be temporary!

have confidence in yourself <--- thats the number one key to getting some. Treat yourself right and dont seat on your fast ass and pity yourself.

If you're not attractive what can you do? well shape up that damn beer belly!!!
If you're skinny? build up some freakin muscles and do some exercises.
If you dont have money? getting a damn degree and set yourself up in the right path of earning some.


Chances are you dont have to let life step all over you, take control of it and you'll see a much brighter life. Do something positive to yourself and start being someone. <--- be yourself is the key to happiness. If you can build up that confidence I can garantee you lots girls will be running towards you.

digme is right about puttin on target clothing and K-mart shoes. <--- Girls don't dig that especially those good looking ones. How you dress or present yourself is very important to others. If you can't win a girl with your looks, you'll have to be a doctor or a lawyer to win them with $$$$$$. but thats the sad part when a woman loves you for your $$$$$.

Damn, I feel very lucky. It seems like i have always had someone. Ive only been in 3 relationships in the last 6 years each lasting over a year and only being broken up by distance and circumstance. I think out of those 6 years I was probably single for 3 months total. Unless you are ready to get married I think you should stop being so picky and have some fun. Look for small groups of girls at clubs or the mall or whatever and go after the least attractive one. That usually always works. Do you have a job? Usually when you have a job and work with other people your age they are forced to interact with you even though they may not think that you are the most atractive person in the world. That gives them a chance to see you for who you are and maybe you can work somethign from taht angle. Don't give up.

First, do give up actively seeking. I may only have 19 years under my belt, but one thing I have learned time and time again is that the best things come when you are no longer looking for them. The harder you seek something, the more elusive it becomes. A good analogy is looking for animals in the woods, if you go running through the woods searching, you will miss a lot. However, if you sit down very still in a clearing and do not make a noise, the animals will come to you. So, yes, giving up is a good idea, just don't make yourself blind to the opportunity that will eventually come along.

RedDawn, I always knew there was something deeper to you than the militant liberal.

eakers, not all of us guys are complete jerks. Sure we all have our moments (and generally at the worst possible times), but that doesn't just apply to guys. Sorry to hear about your luck though. As REO Speedwagon said, "Keep pushin' on", it'll get better.
