Hive For The Holidays!

Yeah, all in all it was a pretty awesome story. Followed by the tale of the woman he was next with (the marriage didn't last, shockingly).

He apparently met the woman who didn't become wife #10 at the same bar as he met wife #9. Really, I must be hanging out at the wrong bars, there are clearly a lot more disparate women out there than I thought.

The problem is the bar scene. We ladies go there to fun and for those of us that want a one-night-stand, meet a guy for that. Otherwise we like to be courted somewhere romantic. Well, most of us at least.

Okay, okay. Thats me. I guess I rewally can't vouch for other women.

Have you ever tried striking up a convo witha lady at a book store?

One of my favorite sayings is "Life's a joke.."

Whoever thought o the saying "Life's a beach" needs to be slapped, and hard.

Heh, I'm not actually trying to pick up women at any bars, since I don't actually go to any. I was mostly joking. But neither do I try to pick up women at bookstores despite spending far more time in them. I'd have the same problem anywhere, which is feeling extremely awkward about striking up a conversation with any stranger.

It just smacks a little too much of arrogance. I will talk to you, because I assume that you will want to talk to me.

Really, I had a phase where I was fond of that one.

Life's a beach, look out for hypodermic needles in the sand.

or, my personal favorite

Life is like the sun, which, as I journey towards it, is bound to give me cancer.

1998-2002 were the years I spent accumulating pessimistic quotes. Some of them are great fun.

There was another part of that quote... but it might offend people.

I think thats part of your problem then hafrogman. You need to have enough courage to walk up to a lady, smile at her and give her a compliment, regarless oif whether you think she will or won't talk to you.

My problem also.

My gf saids my shyness (in real life) often comes of as being pompous and snobby.

Yeah, there were even books published. It was a good time. Meditations for a Miserable Millenium. A lot of doom and gloom around the turn of the century, but light hearted.

Granted. But knowing you have a problem and fixing it are two different things. So far nobody sells confidence in a bottle. So telling people to be more confident only makes them more self-conscious about being shy.
