That's the attitude. Bass players get in line behind the guitar players and singers, but that should help weed out the truly psychotic ones:D

Is it just me, or is there, with girls at bars, a direct correlation between great looking and psycho?

The surest and quickest way to forget a woman is to get another one. ;)
Also, I like your attitude. :thumbsup:

I disagree. I think that is an over generalization.


My parents met one another on a Sierra Club hike, and got married 3 years later.


At the age 29, each of them had NEVER been with anyone before.


They stayed married for 64 wonderful years.


Every single morning they would hug good morning and kiss in the kitchen.

They were both utterly devoted, and faithful for their entire life, to one another.



At 92 years old, one finally died.


Ten days later so did the other.


Of a broken heart, I have absolutely no doubt.



It would have been my dearest wish to get to end like that. It was my model.

You seem like a good guy but I’m afraid you are suffering from “CBD” – Chronic B*tch Dependency – which you will eventually outgrow.

You feel you need a relationship, but at your age, you don’t. You have a really good thing going and don’t realize it: A woman who disappears for days, every week or so, leaving you free of endless chatter, drama, ball-busting, etc. (I dated a flight attendant for 2 years; it’s a good setup.)

Play your music, talk to other women, and let the flight attendant be your bread and butter sexually. Then, when you are surrounded by female groupies, you won’t put out a desperate vibe, which will make you even more desirable to them.

It’s a shame; women don’t appreciate genuinely caring and romantic men. In fact, they seem to despise them, so keep that in mind the next time you are feeling blue about this girl.

x 144 I know, I have lived here and on 4 other continents. The only place worse that I know of personally is Kosovo

How does that prove that monogamy is not a conditioned thing?

The remark was made in resposne to one which said that people are NOT naturallly monogamous.


My experience was
that as a practical experience, they were.


Do you think another way of living is better?


If so - please share your reasons why, if you have any.

So you are saying they were not influenced by societal conditioning and that they were born to be monogamous?

Yes and no. Depends on the person/persons concerned. I have known people to be in a polyamorous relationship and all have been happy. I have know people who are swingers who cannot wrap their minds around a poly relationship. I have known "vanilla" people who cannot even stand their spouses looking at porn. Note, this was years ago for a research project in school so things might have changed since then.

Does steak or lobster taste better?

realized that soon after the whole "can we just be friends" deal. Only thing I feel is numb. After over two years, I think I should feel more - but I just don't care anymore.


She's the type that'll never know what she wants. Some poor sap (NOT me) will ask her to marry him. She'll realize that's not what she wanted and will move onto husband two, three, four.....(she'll collect a lot of **** in the process, thats for sure.) But she'll never be happy.


I don't need that. I don't deserve that.

It felt GOOD telling her where the door was and show herself out. Nothing like the feeling of not being walked on anymore.

"Can we be friends" simply translated: I don't want to be the cause of this breakup so we will use this friendship to transition out of the relationship and in the meantime, I don't have to look as guilty in the eyes of others.

If you knew that, why did you stick so long with her?

You'll recover. Just be happy that you are learning these lessons while you are young. Just make sure you don't become bitter or vindictive, and punish other women for the things this one did. You might drive away the one who will appreciate you.

exactly.



I was with her for two weeks after she spoke such words.

forget her, move along....

To add to the stress, I was laid off today.




damn boeing and lockheed unions.

If you were to just get laid, the stress would be reduced.

What have the unions got to do with you being laid off?

workin on it, give a kid a couple days to recover...




Boeing and Lockheed have been on strike. Boeing's strike has ended, and their machinist's union is a lot more strict. Being a non-union shop, most of our work was sent to union shops.

Lockheed is on strike.


I do think they'll call back, but not anytime soon.

I really don't like unions.

Some guys get a girl and miss their palms........:D ......Sometimes.

Me neither.


EU has it right. over here it seems they only protect lazy-over paid workers.
