thought not..

Nope, I'm afraid not. We're an all-men forum at the moment :/.

Reminds me of my good ole boarding school... snif snif (nostalgy)

perhaps we should make pre-woman plans...

the mental image i get is as soon as she says 'Hi!' gets some cute avatar and completely comes off to us as a lady...some of us are gonna jump all over her and probly scare her off...

Maybe we should collaberate to compose a manual for dealing with new girls...like a first impression type book.

that way we could attract more females and keep them..as opposed to scaring them off.

it depends on what day you ask my shoog :D :P  :twisted:

use more pretty colors and place nice shining thingies to atracht them

I'm of the female gender. Woot! Go me.

Quick, grab her! She's an endangered species and shouldn't be allowed out in the open!!  :P

*throws a net*
....
.....
...
got her
....
....
....
sooooo what should I do now... I'm not used to meet women :D

the question is how old is she?

almost got in trouble with something like that  :lol:

AAAA!! Netted! Curses!
I'm 19. I'm all legal and stuff. wait. shouldn't have said that.  :D

I'm 19 too...now that we've found all the girl/s, how old us everybody?

And nice portrait Wyndi ;)

to quote Blink 182

"My friends say I should act my age - what's my age again? what's my age again?"

answer 22 years and still counting  :lol:

guess I best release the big catch from the net ..
*puts the net away*
*whistles innocently*  :D

Head for the hills:

I'm 38 (or rather 18 with 20 years of experience) whahaha

Im Eighteen..also 'legal'  :wink:   :lol:
Yay i can be sued!..erm..wait thats not fun.
i cant think of anything real impressive about myself :(
OH! i weild the metal pipe-o-justice! :D guess that..may be cool

hehe.. i find it so strange that you can't drink in the US till you are 21.. yet you can drive your kids to the park :P ...

wot!? no laydeez?! WTF?!!!?!!?

On a more upsetting note, I'm forced to listen to Ronan Keating whilst I'm on the computer. I stupidly said that I didn't mind him, but that was obviously before the CD came on. Now I'm ready to do some killing.

Where's the pipe?

have you not read the thread??? there is one lady to be precise!

The urge to kill was obviously impairing my reading ability. You're right, there is one girl here, but I'm not sure how much of her will be left when Sean, McPhisto and DevelinTales have finished with her :P

The urge to kill went away slightly there, the vacuum came on, but it's back now and as strong as ever. I'm going to hopefully have a shower and then play Harvest Moon.

Life is good.

Ronan Keating is bad.

Vacuum cleaners are good. I think we need noisier ones, though :P

Ronan Keeting? You poor, poor man. My girlfriend and her mates are into Britney and the like, so when a bunch of us are hanging out, the old gender divisions come into play, when all the guys rush to put on Metallica or Dire Straits or something, and the girls try to stick on J'Lo or *shudder* Justin Timberlake...

Oh dear lord... Justin Timberlake? Why hasn't anyone shot that guy, yet?
Hey Newts. Which Harvest Moon are you playing?

Harvest moon has to be one of the wierdest games ever, I dont really get the point of making a game on farming and feeding animals. I tried playing one of the GB games once, the intro on what to do was about 20 mins long...

:lol: Newts mate your making me out to be some sort of ravenous..boy..
at least TRY to make me sound good ;) hehe. I can run off and beat this Ronan Keating person upside the head with the pipe...should leave a decent mark ;)
Timberlake is big on my list anyhow..figure there should be a time where i could get 'em both at once..ahhh the thought is soothing :)

hehe i rather enjoy harvest moon..i own..a few of them hehe :)

I leave with a wiggle..since i havnt done it in a while..

*Wiggle*

Well Ronan Keating will be on my "death list" right after Robbie Williams - man how I h8 this guy and his music....

..nevertheless there is one funny story about him - he played at a famous German open air festival - "Rock am Ring" (which should mean that it's a rock festival at the "hockenheim ring" race track). Let's say he didn't fit in there and the people waiting for the follow up band didn't really like but curse him. So he jumped of the stage and started shouting at the audience... at least until one of them hit him right in the face and knocked him out......

maybe we should ask if Mr Keiting wants to play at Rock am Ring aswell.....

My sister loves harvest moon - for me playing farmer is work not fun (same counts for "The Sims" ) - nevertheless I can here this music and especially the sound effects no more - they cause a nervous break down.
Reminds of those days when my sister watched non stop "Dirty Dancing" during the holidays..... *arg*

Iiiiiiiii haaaaaaaaad the time of my liiiiiiiiiiiiife

:lol: kidding ;) I rather enjoyed that film..although i could never relate to it.
....wow my mind is blank..

:twisted: :evil:  :twisted: :evil:   :twisted:
My brain cells still selfdestructwhen the hear that song ...

...

.....

It took ages before I could watch another Partric Swayze movie - tho "road house" is a damn cool movie .....

I'm a lady, but only by night.

:cry: I think I feel bad for you Gustave

... odd how this is the only forum who doesn't find me halarious.

We're a tough crowd I guess ;).

Don't worry though, we still love you  :P

well since we've established the presence of a least One female in here..i'd like to throw out a general statement:

Im nice, Funny (i think), Sweet, Caring, I cry, I write Poetry, I write Stories, I LOVE to cuddle, Im very romantic, Im very intimate, Very honorable, High moral values, Intelligent (i think), Well spoken, I can Cook, I Clean.....from what i understand im one of them fairly 'desireable' guys out there..

At least i think so..although ive no evidence that i am since if i changed myself completely...grabbed a '40, started beating women, and spreading bastard children throughout the land...i'd be the next best thing since sliced bread :P

i know the obvious answer to this question: Should i wait it out? or should i grab a pair of brass knuckles and go to town?

It just bugs me how easily the nice guy can really finish last..makes zero logical sense...
hehe i guess i can just keep beating my head against a wall ;) or bury myself in games and work to where i dont notice..yeah that sounds better.

*Runs off for some Nocturnal Sabatoge*

Important, important, super-important lesson: DONT TRY. At least, don't look like you're trying. I've seen too many of my mates (most of the nice guy variety) suddenly turn into these cringe-inducing romantic stereotypes...they were even using bad 'lines'.  :shock:
But then, if u don't try, maybe nothing will happen...sounds like a catch 22 situation to me.
Umm, I think I was pretty much a hopeless romantic type...then followed five years of being stuffed around by a girl. Now we're together, and will hopefully never part - my point is, I dont think Im nearly so dreamer-like now.
Conclusion: delve into videogames! Just don't do so to the point where u lose all social skills - thats when u oughta start worrying!

Hah, im sure u didnt need to hear all that - it's just such a familiar situation these days...

Well that's a good lesson!
Never try either do or do not but never try  :D

"Nice guys finish last" even Green Day know that so be mean machos  :D

Well a friend of mine - he is more or less what I would call a nice guy - caught his last girlfriend with the super nice girls movie boy clich? - ya know this "You look like your freezing" "Nah it's ok" "No you are freezing - take my jacket" kinda dialogues. It was sooooo funny watching them - I had to laugh all the time.

IMHO you should always be true to yourself and never pretend to be someone else just to get a girl.

You know I'm a Buddhist and I'm one of the intelligent/immature people. But I must say this forum has some half intelligent people in it. And I'm not one to pass out compliments very often. People here tend to see things as black and white which I naturally don't but it's not nessisarily a bad thing, I usually take things inpersonal and counter with a joke. But on to the topic, Sigmund Freud said "Love and suicide are not much different." so if you're only in a relationship for dominance and/or sex feel the wraith of suffering. Learn to love your man or women as an equal, not a better or worse, I believe it's called unconditional love. Shoot me I talk to much, I must be getting high off the stench in my room.

A famous (and actually one of the few who are not only famous and taught at school but also really good) German writer had the idea that pain/tragedy and fun/humor are really close together. He considered the tragic comedy as the only suitable kind for a play.

Nevertheless I would say that there are a bunch of things which have to be done entirely or not at all as doing them partially ends up as a mess.
you can either play things safe or take a high risk but things in between tend to end up in chaos - I mean compare it to poker either you drop out of the game when you are not sure to win or you will pretend to have a good set of cards till the end - if you leave the match in the middle you will just loose money for nothing.
Sure you can't see everything in black and white (especially when talking bout people they usually ain't complete assholes vs the good guys but every person has its own unique pro and cons) but for behavior it's usually a good choice.

"Play your cards to the max" as I tend to say

if i was in it for sex why would i mention my cooking abilities?  :lol:
Ah! a very important topic when it comes to things of this nature:
In recent decades a stereotype has been forming..Guys only want one thing. This is a hard thing to overcome :( especially when a girl cant quite tell if your longing for her in that way..or not..unless your being obvious.

I feel that sex is one of those things that two people can share with eachother that they wont share with anyone/many others (since some relationships just dont work out in the end for whatever reason). If some lady came up to me and demanded 'satisfaction' i'd probly turn her down since ive no clue who she is..that and at the present moment ive just woken up and i need to get to my morning hygene routine. Very moral of me right? However a part of me is goin "NYAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!"...never said these urges were easy ;).

Now im one of those jacket-offering type fellows (start laughin' bEn ;)), i hold doors open for ladies..push in chairs...offer my chair and sit on the floor...but most of that doesnt mean a thing to most women since they feel im being nice for the sole purpose of getting into their pants..they're a tough crowd :(.

Ive no trouble waiting it out..since at the moment im so involved with my games..that it'd take alot to pull me away from them (sometimes sleep cant get in my way! muhuahahaha!!). Im just worried that when and if i do find someone on this stinkin' planet to share my heart with she'll be so mentally and emotionally banged-up by the 'macho' guys that i cant stand her :( Im seeing a recent trend in that my worries are unfounded...but i do worry alot (blame my mom!).

And trust me, i know that if i pour it all out to Blahia it wont change much...it just helps to vent..you know? Gives me hope so i dont have to let it out quite so often :). Just a schpeal that was brought to my mind *shrug*

Now ive got to go make Phill's eyes explode ;)

hey Seani - the jacket-offering joke was caused by 2 things
a)it is totally against the usual personality of my friend
b)I strongly believe that you should not "overprotect" a person - it's like removing their own will and personality. If somebody tells me he doesn't freeze it's ok and I will let him live.  I mean the reason why I like or do not like somebody (including women) is their personality and that's why I don't want to change it. Sure it is just a small interference but it can end up quite ridiculous ... still can't forget when the girfriend of another friend of mine forced him to brush his teeth at that very moment and not later.

I know that from the other side - my last girlfriend always tried to "protect" me from my own unawareness to such events like rain, storms and stuff. But come on it's not my way to behave like I'm made of sugar and can't stand some drops of rain. It just got on my nerves because I would not change - a person running round being afraid of anything is just not my personality.

Leave people their own space to develop and to be themselves and do not act as if you knew what is right for them.

BTW: If relations would be just about sex then why to start one anyway? I mean you can get sex easier by just staying solo and fetching some good looking wanna be whores every day.

I cant see how a simple kind gesture such as offering someone my coat could possibly insult their validity as an intelligent human being...
am i demanding that they take it? am i forcing them to? if they say 'no' its their problem...at least i offered.
its not like i'd take a bullet for them.

EDIT: Normally i dont even offer it unless i see someone shivering...which is an obvious sign of the body trying to generate heat...if they really really like shivering, catching a cold, and being miserable later then they can just have it i guess :P

I'll offer my coat because it's kind. I open doors because it's polite. I say thank-you because it's polite.

None of these are attempts to a) Get in someone's knickers or b) Change their personality.

But hey, to each their own.

I'm learning German myself and I must say that after speaking with quite a few German people I've really taking a liking to them. The reason I say this is I find myself leaning towards bEn often in this conversation although everyone here is bringing up good arguments I think bEns point we need to let people develop individually is a key point in life not nessisarily relationships. There comes a certain level of spirituality we Buddhists practice that is seeing everyone as an equal and instead of meditating or training by ourselves we meditate and train together to reach a new level of spirituality. Perhaps this can be done with love towards a man or women.

There's a really interesting book out soon that basically recommends women should sacrifice their careers and own personal happiness in order to cater to their husband's every whim - they should stay at home, look after the children and always make sure his dinner is on the table. The best bit is that it was written by a woman. How splendid.

If some [not all] women fail to appreciate a kind gesture which, in some small way, makes their life a little easier and more pleasant, then we're probably better off without them anyway. Thankfully, not all women are like this, so don't give up hope, young'un.

Well you're right what I mean is to make sb do things that they do not want to do - it's a difference to offer sth than to force sb even gently to do sth.
And as I said - if it's your nature it's fine - if you just play to get in so knickers it is sth to laugh about.  As I say you should be yourself because you can't pretend to be someone else for the rest of yourself.

Another thing I would say is that sure you are always thankful when somebody pretends you from harm. But if it's neither needed nor wanted and it's not like they doom themselves you should let them be. I mean you can easily overprotect somebody and even make the smalles decision for him - come on if I wear a coat or not - I can decide that on my own -don't I?

Yeah Newts - I never understand women - according to such topics I know 3 kinda women
a) those who believe in feminism meaning nothing but sexism against men (ya know these "femele quotas", "we need a female president/ceo/anything" kinda women)
b) those who think similar to the most sexistic guy there is - which would be the one who wrote the book you talk about
c)those who believe in equalness and both expect and live that - usually those are against these "female quotas" and stuff and usually I would say they think like men - at least those I know.

well you can make it TWO ladies now.... :D   and guys...just be yourselves....if a woman/girl won't like you in a erotic/loving way, just leave her alone and be good friends with her....  There is no need for pretence, y'all.

In the end its probly the best thing...just trying to understand why you ladies tell us this..but yet go for the guys who dont act like themselves :P
or are jerks..real bad jerks..

I think im just gonna give up on female companionship beyond friendship..put my dick in a vice-grip, and marry my computer.

Suckgas!!! Good to see you around after all that time! :D
How are you doing these days? :)

Were i in a situation of offering my coat to a lady, i would do so immediatly while expressing some dissatisfaction for parting with that article of clothing, therefore not explicitly revealing my intentions. ;)

There's nothing the ladies love more than a whining gentleman :P

Wow, how did this thread get revived?  Ladies...heh..don't even want to begin.

LOOOOOOOOOL this is probably the best quote I read for quite some time.

Sig worthy dude!!! :D

ooookkkk... ill skip the whole thread and go to the part where i say welcome back suckgas...

about the rest, i dont know, i dont care, and i have not comment about it.....

I've even done away with the banner promoting my beloved website (http://www.prosody.co.uk/) in order to accommodate that fine piece of prose :D

:lol:
never have i thought i'd be quoted..and sig'ed :)

this is indeed a joyous day!

And yet your own sig is woefully lacking in top quoting action :P Here's some of my favourite quotes to help out;





That's about all for now. Failing that, you can use my banner to promote the best band in the world (http://www.prosody.co.uk) :p

Hmmm...so i guess the topic's changed huh?  From females to quotes...  :roll:   How "man"like.

Aniways, I'm doing fine Dev.... :D and hi to you Alberto...u still around? :P

It would seem I haven't welcomed you back, suckgas, so welcome back. One minor thing - your sidepic/avatar/portrait/whatever won't show up at all, because it's not uploaded anywhere on the Internet, you're trying to link to it from your computer, which won't work. I'm sure if you sent a nice email to Dev with that as an attachment he'd upload it :) Just don't say "it shows up fine on my computer" - it would, because the picture is on your computer :P

PS Having double-checked it seems you're actually linking to a directory, and not a specific picture :\ Life is so very complicated sometimes.

I guess it's that we discussed the topic until it ran into a dead-end and died.... and - as I learned from Zombie movies - the living that are evil so we nearly invisibly changed the subject to protect you all...  :D

i welcomed her back in my own special way ;)

she knows im glad to see her :)

as for ladies elsewhere :x  go take your high and mighty attitude and make me a sammich

You won't get any sammiches with that attitude.  You have to make them think your listening, then have them make you food as you stare at them blankly while they babble.

jk.  I don't need other enemies (hides under covers)

:lol:

I honestly dont feel that way..but eh *shrug* its a change of pace.

Or, as we say, in England,

http://freespace.virgin.net/mike.spezzano/FASTSHOW/knickers.wav

He'll hate me for hotlinking, but I don't care, it's only about 80k :P

Offering your coat doesn''t work for me... i''ve tried that...

When she reached into my pockets she went mad at me.
I have the urge to always carry something around that''s illegal, and usually in multiples

You, too, eh?

I guess as long as she doesn't tell the cops, your home free.  Just hope your other 'offers' make up for the nasty things in your pockets.

the best thing i offer a girl is a holiday trip in a few months... by then i either like them alot and pay for the damn thing or i''ve already dumped the poor thing..

either way they will feel incredibly flattered at first :)

all I offer a girl is my love and loyality..if that ain't enough she may leave for good ... the next morning  :P

A wise man once said:

Women, if you chase a dog it runs away...
Treat em like shit and they come running.

hmmm perhaps they're too busy coming up with arguable points about us having penises...

enjoy it...dont hate it :(

*turkey mating call*  :lol:
*wiggle*

It''s my duty, duty to wiggle booty, booty !

Cmon seani dance like a Bojangles
