*Official* Relationship Advice Thread Strikes Back

[Optimus_Prime_]

Please. He'll get bored of "chicks" and "socializing", miss reading about Cyclops and the rest of the X-Men, and end up out of shape and girlfriend-less like me

It's true I do miss Cyclops. He doesn't return my phone calls now

The people at my comic shop are cool as heck. Not weird and nerdy like the Simpsons guy. I'm in there chatting w/ them for at least 20 mins every Wed

The guys who sell locally here are cool dudes. Needless to say they seemed kind of mad when I broke it to them that I wouldn't be needing a box anymore. We had a talk about it. Obviously I agreed to buy whatever they had already pulled.

I'm dropping $20-$40 a week these days

Seriously, it's not even funny anymore. I'm all for capitalism, but comics for a while now have been pursuing a really sh***y business strategy. If you're going to charge more stop producing ten interlocking titles per character. I remember the old days when I could get all my X-Men stories by buying Uncanny X-Men every month. Now I get some fraction of a mega-event or some lead up to a mega-event if I only collect one title.

If I were a single man, there's no way I'd meet my g/f at a bar. People get real ugly when the lights come on at last call

Although I'm betraying my attempt to be positive in this post, let me be clear; I HATE BARS (and nightclubs). I've picked up a few girls here and there at these places, but I remember none of their names, nor do I really wish to have anymore contact with them. I'm sure their are plenty of nice people who would make wonderful girlfriends in them, but the atmosphere is all wrong.

Firstly, although I don't mind dressing up, I'm way more comfortable wearing whatever the hell I want. I never feel very at ease with myself when I'm in these places because I, and I fear everyone else, is trying to put on a front. I mean very rarely do I meet anyone I'd categorize as "friendly" in a bar.

Usually I just go to bars to hang out with people I already know, not to approach people I don't. I definitely need adaquate lighting and low pressure atmospheres to meet people. Parties are always fun ways to meet people for me, as is my weekend job (gym front desk). I also use Facebook, not so much for new people, but to network with acquaintences I might otherwise not have much conversation with.

practice at home. read stuff out loud to yourself, books, magazines, comics, newspaper articles, song lyrics, etc. say your ABC's over and over, mix up the order of the letters, etc. it will help you a lot

Don't know why I quoted this one...meant your other post. But I'll be on my parents auto insurance automatically once I get a license.

 

[enterthemadness]

Sooooo....maybe I am just thinking about it too much, but um...it's been just over 24 hours since the guy said this chick would friend request me on facebook. And he said that we should be friends first, the chick and me, for our little FWB. And she's hot...but...

So I just stop worrying about rather she will actually friend request me? . I'm under the impression since she and him talked already, she would had already friend requested me.

Whatever, at least I get to keep my beard.

Haha. Yeah, you know I love your comic-habit The nerdy part of you is endearing and part of what makes you attractive to me. However...I do think it helps that I've got a very nerdy side, too. And honestly, none of my girl friends can relate to that part of me at ALL. So, I can see people's predicament in finding women who are into "nerdier" things.

If I were a single man, there's no way I'd meet my g/f at a bar. People get real ugly when the lights come on at last call

Honestly, if we ever broke up, I think I'd have to join eHarmony or something. People stare at me plenty of places, but the bar is the only place where people ever actually get bold and say something. And I hate it when they do

I don't understand bars. If I ever go to a bar, I doubt they would carry my beer, Labatt Blue, so no point in going. Not to mention it's cheaper to buy the beer at a market or package store.

 

[Scourge2099]

Because God thought giving me a speech problem would be hilarious. Although I'm not as angry anymore as just plain old tired. I just don't feel confident when I talk.

God gave me a speech problem to bro. In my head I sound fine and educated like I know I am , but when I talk it sounds totally different. I end up sounding either ******ed or gay or something. I sound "normal" when I yell though. That's why I brood a lot.

Yeah, but it's the third best place to pick up skanks and ****es.

That truly sucks . No one asks where you are from, like comment on an accent?

I know if I curse, it's easier for people to make out what I'm saying. Weird.

 

[enterthemadness]

Clearly you mean cheaters and herpes.

 

[Anubis]

Same thing.

Good thing is, you can't get herpes twice!

Based on my looks , they either think I'm Mexican or Filipino even though I'm freaking Creole ( French , Black , Native American) and Japanese. I guess my accent is Californian though. It should be because I was born here damnit.

I "get" bars. I don't "get" seeking a relationship from someone you meet in one.

Much like I "get" people seeking significant others on the internet, but I don't "get" them doing that through Facebook.

 

[Anubis]

Facebook is also like a bar, except it's mostly chicks you used to know that made some really bad decisions with their life, so now they'll probably do you while their baby daddy is in Afghanistan.

 

[Hound55]

Yeah, but it's the third best place to pick up skanks and ****es.

Yeah? What's one and two?[/lobbed in softball pitch]

 

[Anubis]

The Free clinic and church.

 

[Hound55]

That wasn't nearly as funny as I was hoping.

You let me down, 'Nubs...

...Although it does sound like you have a very interesting Facebook friend list.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but it's not a joke. You wanna find some skanks and ****es, theres no place like Church. I myself hooked up with a few chicks at the clinic I worked at. After I knew the penicillin had kicked in of course.

 

[Scourge2099]

I had a one night stand with some **** I saw in line in a supermarket deli.

 

[Anubis]

You dirty ****.

 

[Hound55]

Yeah, but it's not a joke. You wanna find some skanks and ****es, theres no place like Church. I myself hooked up with a few chicks at the clinic I worked at. After I knew the penicillin had kicked in of course.

So it's in reverse order?

Church first, then Free Clinics...

 

[Scourge2099]

You dirty ****.

She made me the best sandwich ever after we were done too.t:

 

[Anubis]

Oh yeah. The only reason they're at church is because of what they did on Saturday.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Oh yeah. The only reason they're at church is because of what they did on Saturday.

if you're catholic you go for the ones that don't get up for communion

 

[Anubis]

See? Trainwreck knows what's up.

 

[Hound55]

Yeah?

I'd have thought you target those who take a hell of a long time in the booth...

Those who need to take communion twice...
