My Ex still has my Pink Floyd - Division Bell CD *grumbles*

It's only stuff guys...

My ex can have whatever she wants, as long as she leaves me the fuck alone.

You go out with someone for that long and find out it wasn't you that was weird...

[kleph]

GODDAMMIT! stop being romantic in my bitterness thread!

i had the coolest shirt in the world once. alan moore and bill sienkiewicz did a book called Big Numbers that ran exactly two spectacular issues before the publisher folded. i found the ONLY shop in Dallas Texas that had a promotional t-shirt from that book and wore it proudly for three months. until...

it's hard to say which hurts worse... missing her or remembering the shirt and being pissed at her and missing her all over again.

Luckily I took mine with me when I left. Either that or my new gf sorted out a replacement.

you, my friend, need to begin writing about it.

[Drakin]

My one regret was a little champion of a kitten called Mr Bungle, i so wish i had of taken that little guy when my ex slept with my flatmate and my best friend. (seperatly and together)

I only heard later that the little guy died from a combination of neglect and automobile.

Poor little guy he rocked... used to give me headbutts when i was feeling down..

Only kitten i have ever known to stand on two legs and advance on you with paws n claws out if he hated you... shredded several shins that way..

thats all very well but who'd want to read about it!

I must admit tho that over the last 4-5 months I have been rapidly improving. 8 years worth of relationship/marrige sure take their toll :p

[kleph]

the reading matters not at all, but the writing is what will change the world.

I got out of a 5 year relationship. I have to say that the last year and a half have involved a gradual pulling away on my part.

Ah well, this shit happens. If I hadn't gone right into another relationship I think I might have been worse off.

$3.75, the last tme I checked.

[plext]

That's pretty cheap now that you're earning pounds. :)

[Maestro]

Aldi will have a sale. It'll cost a measely $1.00; you have to get in early, wait around for ages with all the other people, and when you finally get to the bit where you pay they'll rush you so that you aren't sure you got correct change, plus you have to bag it yourself. You get great value for money, but there's more effort involved.

I love obscure supermarket metaphors.

[Wolfette13]

There is an old quote that says
"Love is grand but divorce is one hundred grand".

Should I put that in the quote thread instead.
Relationships are very tough expecially when one is wandering the timber and the other is still on the porch. Humans tend grow and change in the emotional and spiritual status as they get older. If the one you love does not move forward with you the relationship can be very strained. However, breaking up in any language is hard to do. That little piece of soul people leave behind is perhaps not gone forever just on vacation for a while.
I can only speak from my own experiences with relationships though and I have found when I am in a good relationship I write a lot more in my journals I write more poetry as well as other stories. It seems when a relationship has ended and my emotions are full of turmoil I don't write as much but there is a certain sorrow and melancholy to the poetry and stories I do write in the midst of my grief from the loss and the start of the healing process.

[Grumblefish]

Love is free, you pack of sissies.

[Nandragon]

The price of love is Pain.
you may quote ME on that.

I want those 19yrs back! MF's! first one took 7 GOOD years of my life. The other took what was left of my figure, confidence, freedom, 12yrs, my sexuality, my damn Pioneer component stereo & the speakers, my truck, dignity and natural brown hair.

They all took my trust in men.
How the hell do I get THAT back?

I have been cheated on, ripped off, and screwed over by most women I have dated--And you will get that response from most guys that actually date girls, and not just fuck them.
If you date those hot looking bad boys, you will get the bad guy treatment. It does work both ways:mad:
Try dating a nice guy once.

[Nandragon]

Nice guys are just so damn needy!
They cling and stuff, and have little penises...

For some reason someone that tries to pleaze you to no end, just isn't appealing.

And hence......problem with the world #43278.

Well....I was in a relationship once....thats better left alone because all I can say is that im glad that never went anywhere. I have no confidence in women because women like to be bullshitted to and thats one of my major flaws in that I speak my mind. Women like to be lied to and dont like honest guys, they also like to play mind games which piss me off no end.

Simply put, unless I can meet someone who doesnt have a silver spoon shoved up her arse and doesnt think she is Gods gift to the universe, id forgo any sort of relationship. Dont think im happy about it, but as the neo-nazi feminists reckon, women dont need men, and as dogs have more rights than white males under the age of 25, its best we live with the dogs.

No, no, no. It must be the WOMEN you're dating.

No one wants to be lied to. We don't want to be alone.
You know maybe u should try that puppy dog I'm hurt shit, sometimes it gets you laid. But as with me...I'm to old to play games, life's to short! I wanna get right to the point, if we meet GREAT, but most times not. I'm picky and have criteria. No hormonal judgments to sway the issues. I derived my criteria from the emotional and physical abuse of dip shits from hell, and yes, uncle bubba that means u too!

You make so much sense at times, Nan :)

[Nandragon]

Sometimes I get the point across better than others.

Thanks, I guess for the compliment;)

[beowulf437]

Nandragon I'm a nice guy but I'm not clingly and needy nor do I have a small penis.

I don't think a cool car/bike/truck makes you a man, in some cases it makes you look like an idiot.

Tattoos are OK for some people but why in the hell would someone want to cover their whole body in them.

I don't hang out in bars. There are two reasons I go to bars, to play darts on tuesdays or some one has hired me to do something for them.

I don't 'need' anything. I love to have intelligent conversations. I love to hug and kiss. I do not take well to anyone trying to take care of me. I don't need a mother.

I don't insult people. I try to be honest with everyone. I do my best not to hurt the feelings of others. I thoroughly enjoy the company of women, and they seem to enjoy my company (might be because I look at their eyes instead of their breast).

I don't start fights, cause trouble for other people, steal, or make a nuisance my self.

I do hold the record for the most cops in a single arrest in my town (thuvia and me). After we were arrested the local cops wanted to let us go, and I still have my security clearance.

[ShadowNemesis]

Definitely get a dog. Our "Buttons" is a shitzuXmalteseXchinese crested.........

and they don't run off to canberra with a work colleague either.

[Wolfette13]

I can attest to what Beo has said, except for the arrest part I didn't know him and Thuvia then. They both are wonderful and I love them both. They will do anything in the world to help someone if they can and expect nothing in return. I know they have helped me a lot and I am considered part of their family even though there is no biological connection. It is purely total acceptance and love. Most of the people we know are quite independent of each other while maintaining their marital relationship as well. I will say that we all are needy at some point and some more than others, that is just part of being human and we try not to make it a way of life just a part of life that will pass with time, experience and spiritual growth. (my humble opinion).

[Mr Bigglesworth]

Nan, im not suggesting for a minute that youre a feminazi, actually youre cool and I respect you alot :p

I used to have the school of thought that I would meet someone, love them and id be happy just with that feeling. I now find that, not only does it take forever to actually find someone attractive, but I doubt any good will that a woman will exhibit towards me. The best example is a certain girl I spent months getting to know, never saying a word about a boyfriend, then when I asked her out she spills the beans, and then the same night she tells me her boyfriend was abusing her physically and that he went overseas and got engaged to someone else, then came back. She would make funny promises like "I promise to call", "Meet me at XYZ at 9:00" and never commit to them.

I also find that women respond best to guys who are arrogant, rude and nasty. The only time I ever earned the respect of a girl was when I was really pissed off with her, when I was nice she trod all over me. Otherwise I tended to attract airheads who, at the time, were interested in the fact that I was earning alot of money.

If there was some way to chemically/surgically remove any biological need to want to have a girlfriend/partner/wife, id do it in a second.

[DrDivad]

chemical castration

[Tintin]

o no I w33p/ph33r for NanDragon's loss of sexuality! ;)

Merch... hmm... I think overall I've broken even. In a purely economic sense.

My pet rant is related, and that is about society's expecation of men to gamble with (and therefore risk losing) their dignity by being the 'agent of action' in initiating relationships. Yes yes I know Sambellina has asked a guy out once before so there goes my argument.

I know for a fact that cannot possibly be true - I consider myself a fairly nice guy (I certainly wouldn't steal from a girl I was doing) and I try to respect their feelings, and deal with silly mood changes! but I have a good size penis , and I am not needy, unless I need a BJ before work (then I have been known to beg):D . Clingy? I thought only females were like that?!
Whats the old saying? - you reap what you sow (sp) . Try a different "nice guy" mabye you'll get lucky.

A GIRL'S PRAYER
Lord, before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who's loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
When he says he'll call, he won't wait weeks.
I pray that he is gainfully employed,
And when I spend his cash, he won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "How big's my behind?"
One who'll make love till my body's a'twitchin,
In the hall, in the garden and in the kitchen!
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
Amen.


A GUY'S PRAYER
Lord, I pray for a nympho with huge boobs who owns a liquor store and likes
to fish.
Amen.

I do have a slight problem of emotional disconnect when under stress. A psycologist told me this is would be valuble if I were a cop or a firefighter, but it does keep me from doing things that are too stupid.

[unicron]

All women are nuts, Im 24 a decent guy, Not too bad looking, own my own house, car, erning 50-60k a year, yet can I get a date? hell no! yet all the time my female freinds bich and rant how there are no good men left in the world, and when I ask them out all i get is the "Oh I just think as you as a friend" shit. And yes I am drunk so what I am saying is the truth.

women are so danm shallow :( :mad:

[Wolfette13]

Not every woman on earth is shallow and not every man on earth is an arse who treats good women like crap. I think all the arse men should get together with all the shallow women and leave the rest of us to each other. :D

[beowulf437]

Wolfette is right. All the assholes and shallow people should get together.

I guess I'm lucky (as a nice guy) to have married an intelligent, capable woman. What really gets me though is the number of truly shallow people there are out there. Too many people are hung up on a specific type or on what the other person owns.

Sorry but I find that very shallow: "I'm 24, a decent guy, not too bad looking, own my house, car earning 50-60k a year."

Saying that, you might be a decent guy, WTF do I know? Maybe you lack the necessary sex appeal? Maybe you need to lower your standards a bit? Leave the Cameron Diaz's of the worlds to the George Clooneys or whoever this years sex symbols are.

I bet you there's someone there, in your circle of female friends, a friend of a friend perhaps, who's thinking: "Why doesn't he ever ask me out?"

We love the attention don't we.

Time can wither the passion in the bloom of anyone's love? *Bleurgh*

[Nandragon]

usually when girls are telling a guy and visa versa that they think of them as friends...that just means they like who you are, but are not attracted to you. Let me rephrase that, either they like you or the attention you offer them. but ur not fuckable. sorry.

They could be lying............they could be attached and just want to keep them around for when they need someone.......It's cruel, but it happens.

[Bostonmess]

Then shove a carrot down the front of your pants Geggle, I'm sure you'll get some offers then. ;)
