Another "women" venting thread.

[Aeson]

I'm not doing surgery. I'm much to granola for anything like that. I'm exercising nearly every day -- but the toning is taking a whole lot longer than the weight loss. I'm hoping that next time I fast my body will take away the extra skin. I'm just going to have to try and find out.

It could still be an option. Go with what is right for you.

I try to, in all things. Surgery to do what some hard work could do doesn't sound right for me.

A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, "Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful?"
Holding out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well made.
Yet, added he, none of you can tell where it pinches me.

That is the solution to every problem.

She's probably a flake. If she was late because she was involved in her art, then she's a flake. And women who are too flirtatious on the first date... don't get me started.

I call upon all female members to start a "men" ranting thread right now!!

Sniffles, I took the liberty of creating just such a thread for all ENWomen to go nuts and tear us a new one if they so desire. I'd love to hear the opposing viewpoint.

Look at it this way, now you're free to sleep with her sister.

That's the best comment I've seen in this thread.

I have been in this situation too. A couple of years ago I chatted with a guy on email, then we met for dinner. I thought it went very well, but then he wouldn't respond back to emails. A week later I finally said "You're just not that into me, are you?" and he responded with "You're right, I felt no chemistry." I think he just didn't like my looks, personally, but meh. To each his own. But I do hate that cowardice that causes people to just stop responding so they don't have to say "I'm sorry but it won't work out." Pansies (and I refer to both men and women when I say that, although I do think men do it more often than women, probably because they think the woman will cry if they say anything negative, and men would rather have their fingernails pulled out than listen to a woman cry).

I will say this: I have known a lot of "artists," because I was one of the drama-club-art-club-black-fingernail-polish kids in high school. If someone is pursuing art as employment, they are very very much into art. It's easy to get lost in a piece that you're working on. And, if she's struggling to make ends meet with her art, she may not have the time to stop working, except to eat and sleep. Artists are a strange breed; they can get immersed in their work and not come up for air for days.

I would say not to write her off until you hear out of her mouth that she's not interested. Something could have happened, she could have been in a car accident, or maybe, yes, maybe she's not that into you. But if you like her, you're doing her a disservice by assigning her intentions that she didn't have. I told KenM the same thing, until he found out from the woman that she wasn't interested in him. Which turned out to be the case. But you know, not all that situation's dogs were barking.

From now on I'm just take my wooden club and bop a woman on the head and drag her by the hair back to my cave. If she grabs the club and beats me with it, I will follow her back to hers. Seems so much easier.

Ah, the "caveman method" of mating...

"Now this is what we call the act of mating....."

Pardon the minor hijack.



Dude, I just got the mental image of an ewok opening up with force lightening on someone and something in my brain popped.

No more than seeing a Klingon doing the same....


There's times I've felt that people need a good *ZOT* early in the morning.... replaces the need for coffee.

I havn't so much written her off as decided not to pursue the situation until I do hear from her. My current null hypothesis (if you will) is that she's not into me. If she calls back and is into me ... all the better.

But I've left enough messages. I'll wait and let myself think about someone else.... Like the not very attractive girl whose got the hots for me. I'll spend an hour or two with her. At around midnight, after work. Perhaps with some beer.

So, are you saying women are like footwear?

But where's the fun in that?

I think seeing people with podlings hanging off their foreheads becuase they were playing with themselves would be funny.

All joking aside, I disagree with this. At the risk of sounding mysogonistic, she's not worth the time. People - men and women - reveal themselves and their nature most clearly through their actions, what they actually do, rather than what they say. Her action has been, at best, to pointedly ignore you.

That is not saying she is a bad person or anything, just that you should move on.

And I've never been 100% convienced other people are worth all the fuss and bother - its just the alternitives to other people leave something to be desired.
