peacock feathers
 

I am supersingle at the moment, and have been doing a lot of dating. I've run into some characters, and I thought I'd start a thread on things boys (or girls) have said to you on dates that were funny, or that made you go :eek:

The one thing that made me go :eek: was:

Ex-boytoy: "Would you give up your dream job to travel [God knows where to . . . as in Podunk, USA] for my calling as a youth minister?"

Moi: "Hell no!"

Ex-boytoy: "Well, that's not fair!"

Moi: "Well, let me ask you the same question. 'Would you be content on living in a big city, such as NYC, for my career?'"

Ex-boytoy: "No."

Moi: "OK. Now you know how I'd feel."

Ex-boytoy: "Well, the wife should follow her husband around and make all of the compromises."

Moi: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I will share a few from my date on Saturday:

Scenario 1-(this one is phone conversation pre-date)
Me (in a polite tone): Well, thanks for calling. I'm excited to see you on Saturday.
Date: You don't know how excited you are.
Me: :rolleyes:

Scenario 2-
Date: The girl I was standing next to (while he was waiting for me) told me I was naive.
Me: There's nothing wrong with that.
Date: I'm not naive, but I do think she is jaded.
Me: Jaded people frequently think un-jaded people are naive.
Date: I can tell you are naive.
Me: um. I am trusting.
Date: No, I like it. I don't want girls to be too smart .
Me: :eek: :eek: :eek: (and I'm a feminist!)

I jokingly asked a blind date "Any felony convictions?" and he replied "Just one" .. and he was serious! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

hahahaha!! See.. that's something I would say in jest if I was asked!

I said the same to a POTENTIAL date. Only about parole. And he was like, Well, the thing IS....

I can't see most of you finding people to date you girls. Is that a bad thing to say or just an opinion? Perhaps it's something funny.

-Rudey
--Who knows right?

Ex-bf had the same problem. I was like uh.......

My thing is, if I'm going to pay you to go on a date with me, you should at least be presentable.

Especially with the amount I'm paying.

Well I'm wearing the boy shorts and the wifebeater so deal with it.

-Rudey

As long as you let me lead you around by guiding the back of your neck with my manly hand, we'll be fine.

*yawn*
And I can't see anyone wanting to date you either. But who knows, you might hide your cockiness and chauvinism in person.

"My last girlfriend was a 10 in looks but only a 4 in personality and you're only an 8 in looks but you're a 10 in personality."

WTH???? :eek:

cocky

adj : overly self-confident or self-assertive; "a very cocky young man"

Hmmm I didn't say anything about me - just you girls. So really if we're speaking English, this wouldn't fit the bill here.

chau·vin·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shv-nzm)
n.
Militant devotion to and glorification of one's country; fanatical patriotism.
Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender, group, or kind: “the chauvinism... of making extraterrestrial life in our own image” (Henry S.F. Cooper, Jr.).

Now I'm assuming we're talking about my gender here since you're a girl. Not only do I not qualify under the other definitions, but this one is ridiculous since I made no claim whatsoever to my gender being superior.

In fact even in other threads, I've been self-confident but not cocky and definitely not chauvinistic.

So the question is, do we use the same version of English?

-Rudey

oh snap!


-RC
--this one isn't sarcastic, either

KSig RC is that guy that stands around the two guys in the fraternity house that are gonna fight and cups his hands around his mouth and yells, "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH"




I think I'm going to start being the stupid girl who jumps in the middle of a fight between two guys, talking smack the whole time because she thinks she won't get hit because she's a girl.

I'll have to get much fatter for this though. Usually That Girl is pretty fat.

If you get fat, I'll take time out of my busy night of ooooohing and pushing on fights to get obliterated and take you home. Deal?

-RC
--"home" being "the back of a dude named spindler's car"

It's putting on those last 20 lbs to make it to 400 that's gonna be tough.

I think I'm up for the challenge.

yaaay! you should start a thread asking for support, help, and expert advice. I'd say that's the way to do it.

-RC
--I said "do it" heh

again, *yawn*

You really should do some more cardio and change your diet around if you're so tired. Plus since you're single and all, men find it more attractive when a woman is in shape and not tired all the time.

-Rudey

Michelle, let me personally reccomend gaining LOTS of WEIGHT. As in the more the better. As in, if you can fit in your normal office chair, gain some more.

Boys love it. Plus I can wear pajamas all the time because I can't fit in anything else.

he he he.

HotDamn- would that make me more tired? Because Rudey says boys don't like that. And I agree with everything that Rudey says :rolleyes:

LOTS AND LOTS AND OODLES OF WEIGHT!!!

-RUDEY
--WHY AM I SCREAMING?!?!

Michelle, I do hope you said "see ya" to that one.

You really should do some more cardio and change your diet around if you're so tired. Plus since you're single and all, men find it more attractive when a woman is in shape and not tired all the time.

-RC
--irony

So I started doing cardio at lunch but I'm wondering if it's worth it because I can only run on the treadmill for about 20 min by the time I walk over to the gym on base, change, and leave with enough time to shower, change and walk back.

20 min does not seem like enough to make me not *yawn* too.

20 min is more than adequate; go four times a week and you'll actually see approximately the same results (w/in ~%5) as you would for doing double that three times a week. Do 'interval' training for better cardio/calorie results (2 min at a pace you cannot keep up for 5 min, then 3 min just below your mile pace, ie "sprint the turns, jog the straightaways").

-RC
--first serious non-football post in weeks

Yeah but I should've specified it's a very slow 20 min. I had 3 months off from running (broke my foot in 3 places.) So yeah. I'm not sure if it counts as cardio when the guy next to you is running 2 mph faster, not sweating, and wearing a shirt that says "ROBERTS FAMILY REUNION 1959".

dude, think you can get that guy to send me that shirt? that would be so sweet. that was a hell of a year for reunions.

-RC
--yeah it's definitely better than nothing, you'll be amazed how quickly you build back to your previous level

I want a tshirt that says Chang family reunion - 1959. That would make my day.

-Rudey

20 min is something though, and Rob's right, you'd be surprised how fast you get up to another level. The interval training works well to increase endurance, but also have a day a week when you really push yourself past your normal limits distance-wise.

I was able to push my max distance from 6 to 9 miles in a short time working it out that way (and at a good pace too).

Participating in Dance Marathon is also a really great way to get in shape!

That's one workout you can't FAKE your way out of

She was pretty fat, duder - not sure if it's really all that good of a workout. Maybe if you're the President?


Then again, stealing identities is exhausting work - back to the grind, boys

Bwahahahahaha.

No rest for the wicked.

hahaha someone said peacock!

Get it?

Pea=pee
Cock=cock
