Wow....Dating sure does suck.

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

Dating sure does suck. Well in my vast experience yes. Ever since I broke up with my gold-digging, homocidally-prone, bat-shit insane fiancee 3 years ago and gotten over my debilitating self-hating depression, I tried to get back on the dating scene about a month ago. It's not doing to well. As a matter of fact its just like how it was before I was with that nightmare mentioned above. You see, I'm a very laid back guy. I'm not those douche-bags who pop they're collar and act all tough, nor am I a white-boy who acts "Ghetto Thug" even though they're from a well to do neighborhood. I've been to clubs, singles bars, and the such yet no god-damned luck. I'm not looking for sympathy here nor to score points with anyone else. I just want to let off a lil steam before I jump back into the game again. After all like the song says "Love is a battlefield" and before I start singing it like a tone deaf idiot I'm gonna say this.:

Fucking dating and its stupid rules and stupid how to act and its lame ass bull-honkery and its goofy ways and its ping pong and its craptastic...crappity...crap! At least I get to wear my kick ass suit (minus the goddamn ties I hate ties!) and my Double Black Ralph Lauren cologne (stuff is awesome-sauce). Guh, anyone else here have any trouble? Also please no pity parties! This isn't 2channel!

Rules of dating? What in the hell.

Well, I'd for one wouldn't look in places that I normally don't frequent, like bars. Just be sure you would want to date a person that hangs out in the places you look for them...

Duno. Best advice is, be happy by yourself first, then add someone else, if it happens, it happens. shrug.

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

Yea, thats the road I'm generally taking. As for the rules of dating, many people tell me there are and yes I did say "What in the hell?" followed by a good chuckle. Right now I'm still confident in myself but if I luck out I luck out. I'm not gonna be some dominating crazy guy from a LifeTime movie and demand they go out with me. That would be creepy!

[amtalx]

Protip: Clubs and singles bars are good for random hookups, bad for relationship material.

Branch out and make new friends, then make friends with their friends, etc. Eventually you will come across someone that is well adjusted and doesn't suck the marrow from your bones.

[Sinue_v2]

Personally, I think prostitutes are far cheaper in the long run - and they're usually a lot more agreeable. You are THE SHIT to them, the best thing that ever happened to them... so long as you got the green. Probably the better solution if you're just looking to chase away the lonelies.

Love and commitment... they're great and there's nothing better than when it's returned your way, but you can't force it. It'll come when it comes, and supposedly you'll know it when you find it - but then, 2 out of 3 couples end up divorcing so... yeah, your gamble. Still, it's not worth the aggravation of dealing with a gold-digging psychopath "in the mean time".

Till you find something good, keep your ties light and if things start going south, get the hell out quick before it gets messy. Head on down the road, and keep a ball popped out just in case someone else you meet is interested.


That might just be the gin talking though.

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

Take heed I broke up with that leech a long time ago, so its just me Sinue. I was happy that my family took me back because I was afraid they would have disowned me after all the drama she caused (aside from wanting to kill me in my sleep she said if we have kids they are not seeing my parents. Along with that she told me I couldn't do anything right by myself and she needed to look over my shoulder 24/7 in order for me to do things properly. That included taking care of the children...if we had any).

Ok...so upon reading that all I got was women like guys that are hot and have lots of money. Guys just wanna screw. Ok...

I think I should quit dating all together. This is making my head hurt! Which leads to the next question. Cat or Dog?

[Solstis]

Unless it's a super-fashionable suit, I'd suggest toning it down a bit. The kinds of women you'd attract by looking like "money" might not be the sort you want.

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

Eh, its just that everyone tells me to look good and thats how I just go as. All...suity and stuff. Maybe I should just take this casually. Its just that my family...ugh! "When are you gonna get a girlfriend? You need a girlfriend! Nya nya nya nya!". Bull honkery!

[Zyrusticae]

Dating? What? Huh?

No, really... what?

You know, I think dating is complete and utter bullshit. I've never done it. Not once. And why would I? I'd rather make friends with someone, and if they show interest, I'll show interest in kind. Dating just... ugh. I just don't get it. It's ridiculous. How does it help? Isn't it better to just, y'know, befriend someone first instead of jumping into this silliness?

Bah, whatever. I'm just too socially inept for this world, it seems...

[Vanzazikon]

You may find random people to be quite interesting.

It's not like you aren't trying to become friends when you date. You just, well, expect a little extra something down the road.

Oh, and do try not wearing a suit. Maybe a nice wool jacket or something, but not the whole suit deal. Don't bring your power-tie on a date!

See that, I can understand...and get. Thanks AC9. That helps alot! Also its nice to see more people from Jersey that are PSU fans. I thought I was the only one in New Jersey that like PSU! HOTCHA!

[Sinue_v2]

Isn't it better to just, y'know, befriend someone first instead of jumping into this silliness?

That's... a fine line to walk. Ideally, that's how it should work. You want your partner to be your best friend. Seems to me, though, that often comes after wards. A few wrong moves trying to "befriend" her, and you'll never amount to anything other than "Her Friend". You end up becoming an emotional tampon she goes to a few times a month when she has to blow off steam.

Not that she won't value your friendship, and there's nothing wrong with that, but if you're going for a relationship - it doesn't seem to me to be the best way to go about it. Dating allows you to enjoy their company and get to know each other, with the express intention of being the precursor to a relationship.

But I ain't the Love Guru here, just throwing out some observations. The only girl I'm even remotely interested in right now, I damned well know better than to go out with. I've known her since we were kids, and she's a devious heartbreaker. She doesn't mean it... it just... works out that way. My real chance to be with her as more than a friend passed me by, because she was already in a failing relationship and - regardless - I don't cheat or abide cheating. Call it corny, and make fun of my dusty junk... but I do have morals and standards. So while we could have been hooking up, I was keeping my distance and the friendship established.

I don't even care there. She's amazing. The kind of woman who just lights up the room when she enters. The kind where every day is an adventure. She just finds SOME WAY to into some shit and then by amazing string of coincidence - get back out of it. She has her baggage, but at her core she's probably one of the best person I know... and I try to surround myself with good people. So just being by her side, either as a friend or something more, is an incredible high. She's fire... I just don't know if I want to get burned and possibly lose her again.

Jen's only one of the S's. Guess which. :D

Personally, I'd rather have Smart/Sane. Sexy is just a perk, and that's why they invented porn and hidden files. But damnit... why does sexy and insane is so irresistible!

[Inazuma]

Gold diggers suck but it shouldn't be a problem to someone who is aware of it. Instead of letting them take advantage of you, why not turn the tables? Make them think they have a chance at getting your money but don't actually give them any. They will want to have sex with you as an "investment". Have fun with the sex and be sure to protect your money.

It's like marriage. It's terrible and not worth it but it won't ever be a problem for someone who knows the truth. If you get scammed by a gold digger through marriage or otherwise, it's your own fault.

tl;dr
Don't give your money to women.

[TheOneHero]

Ignorance: Masturbation doesn't cure it.

OP: Most of my experience with dating hasn't gone beyond a few dates with a single person. Of course, I look at dating as a way to get to know someone to see if you'd like to try the "couple" thing. (I've noticed the definition has certainly changed with most people, particularly High School kids.)

[Inazuma]

Ignorance: Masturbation doesn't cure it.


Can you please explain why getting married is a good idea? Me being ignorant or masturbating has nothing to do with marriage.

The only reason I can come up with is if the person you are marrying has more money than you. If that's not the case, marriage would be a bad idea.

[SpikeOtacon]

Masturbating has nothing to do with marriage.


Shows what you know.

[Lance813]

Haha, Ohh Spike. ;o

Find a female friend and ask her if she knows anyone whos single and looking. Or you could just ask the friend...

Clubs/bar =/= dating material. Go there if you want to have a one night stand, not a lifetime commitment.

So yea, have you ever had a girlfriend? Because if you abide by this "wonderful" advice then I suggest you bury your head in the sand and just wait for the day of your own death... relationships aren't just about the money and/or sex... in my opinion it's about falling in love with someone (but we know that love is almost nonexistant these days...)

I swear, I could have asked a 6 year old for advice and he/she would have given me something more intelligent to say...

Anyway, I kinda hear ya on the whole dating thing, even though I never really tried it myself, I have had the experience of the girlfriend thing, and as much as I didn't like it, it didn't turn out so well either... but oh well, life goes on like that.

Just try to enjoy yourself bud, life's too short.

EDIT: Also, since when was it a smart idea to bring up marriage in this topic, it's about DATING, Inazuma, for god's sake try READING for once in your life, it WILL do you some good...

[xBladeM6x]

The biggest problem to me, seems as though you might be looking in the wrong places, and that you are looking all together. It's kinda like PSU. When you are looking for something, it seems like it knows and it won't drop because of it. But if you just happen to be strolling along in the mission to do it just for fun, like 3 of the thing you were originally hunting drops.

Basically, I'm trying to say that obviously dating isn't easy but it's 10x harder when it's something that you are looking for, because it seems like you look for the wrong things in people and it doesn't turn out good.

At least, it's the way it worked for me. And the girl I'm with now, I plan on being with for good. Trust me when I tell you, things are meant to happen a certain way, but I actually met my current gf on PSU of all places. Since then it has been amazing. ^^; (Before anyone says anything, yes it's a real life relationship, not just internet or whatever. >_>

PM me if you want to know a little more about what I mean. ^^

[furrypaws]

Can you please explain why getting married is a good idea?

Beause having someone to share your thoughts, life, and feelings with (yes, outside of blogging), someone you know better than yourself, someone who will always be there for you in your time of need and you for there's is the most valuable thing in the world.

Yes, I know you're going to say those things are useless in the longrun. Blah blah blah whatever. When you look at those with successful marriages and how incredibly happy and satisfied they are, you might understand better. Money isn't everything.

But, once again, you're going to tell me that it is.

You are a hypocritical pathetic piece of shit that is lower than any noun possibly conceivable by the human mind.

Everyone is becoming more retarded from just reading what you say, you are a disease on this forum, amongst these people, and this earth.

Please, no one likes you here, save what little dignity you truly believe you have and just go the hell away before you get banned.

We deserve that much.

[Sayara]

Marriage can help with econcomic struggles too. Just a thought.

Yeah, the concept of marriage is in trouble with the high divorce rates and Cohabitation in existance, but if you ever get that feeling that you found your #1, its a great feeling

THOUGH COICIDENTLY, this is about dating. (hinthintwinkwinknudge) From my silly experencies, Don't rush it, Be forceful obviously, but if things dont go right, don't fret just try again. It took me like 4 tries to actually get a real stable girlfriend :wacko:

[MetaZedlen]

@Aisha: His intelligence isn't high enough to understand that he is contradicting himself...

That, or he just likes to spew out bullshit out of every side and hope that no one catches on-, wait, that's from stupidity too...

Damn it...

I was not talking about myself at all. If you must know my personal opinion on this, I do not want to get married, period. I don't think it's right to marry for money. You are way too eager to find a reason to get upset at me.

[MetaZedlen]

^See what I mean, he just can't read enough to understand that he is constantly screwing up...

Lets refocus on the original topic at hand and not marriage. In future reference, any out of discussion should be addressed in PMs.

Also, fuck ties, fuck them indeed. Damn nooses always choking your throat like some bitch hell bent on killing you.

I love how I get an infraction for my post and this thread still remains open and Inazuma is still here.

Good job guys.
