Revenge of the *Official* Relationship Advice Thread

[Thebumwhowalks]

Freud would have a field day on this thread.

I am going to start a tribute band called 'Think Freud', read into that one. haha

No offense, but I just don't think you'd ever get out of the locker room area in the ballpark metaphorically speaking.

No offense, but I read your list and I think you're pretty closeminded, judgemental and .... well... a prude. Don't get smug with me, thanks.

Well, I enjoy having ideals to stick behind. There's nothing wrong with that because it means I know exactly what I want and I'm not aimlessly chucking arrows at anything that comes my way, like a few people I know. If guys can't handle my blunt honesty than they're not meant to be the one for me. It's as simple as that. I'm not going to pretend, make myself unhappy, for anyone. You take me as I am or not at all. There's no mask, no prissy primping, no fakery when it comes to me and what I like. If you can't handle that, it's fine with me. You're obviously not the sort of person I'm looking for. What you see with me is the whole package not bits and pieces of a charade. Yes, I'm aggressive. Yes I have morals. Yes, I'm not everybody's cup of tea, but I know there are guys out there who have dated women of the common mold who were burned by them over and over and over again who'd be interested in testing out someone like me with no pretenses about me. If you can't agree with me that's fine because this isn't about your life, it's about mine and you're not all that important to it sorry to say because you're just a lump of intangible 1's and 0's.

And some people wonder why chivalry is dead ...

Put it this way, you know how Natalie Portman portrays Jane and Kat Dennings plays Darcy in the Thor movie? Squish those two into one entity and you have me. I'm intelligent, ambitious and driven as well as fun, bubbly and funny. The chivalrous man will adore me for those traits, not turn me into something that is not me or force me to do anything that I just don't enjoy. I like men for who they are not what I can turn them into. I will only see the greatness that's already in them and try to be the muse and inspire that. What's so wrong about being a strong rock of support and determination? Would you rather have a whimpering, prissy, woman prone to freak outs when they chip a nail?

You have to also understand the atmosphere I come from where my sisters, mostly the younger ones, are always trying to outdo one another to see who can win my mother's attention. Again, think of the movie Thor with Loki and Thor and you kind of get what life has been like for me with two pretty manipulative sisters. Then you'll understand why I am very specific about things because I want to make it absolutely clear from the outset what my expectations are without the poor sap having to guess all the time what my motives are.

Seriously, you guys judge me without ever knowing who I really am in person...not that you possibly could get to know me anyway in real life. But my invitation is open to anyone traveling in the Upstate New York area. Come visit me and say hello unironically. Then you'll see just what a mistake you make by demonizing me.

i don't think anyone is judging you or demonizing you, but you keep mentioning this fun bubbly side you have. why don't you show this side of you on the hype? or show it more often?

Oh if you go in the Avengers or Thor threads it's there. But I view message boards as a place to put out my ideas in a public forum most of the time. The only way to really experience my fun loving side is to meet me in person and bring a copy of MH Freedom Unite (Or Portable 3rd if you're that hard core.) and a PSP with you especially.

 

[ComicChick]

i dont venture into those forums, actually i dont think ive ever been in them in all my hype time haha

but you can convey your fun loving side in the community if no where else.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I would only date a racist if they hated every race on Earth equally.
I don't know what 'religious fundies' are, are they erotic underpants with sexy Jesus images printed on them?

Religious fundamentalist. I mean someone who takes the bible literally, tries to convert me and lives for their Church and nothing else. If you believe in God, that's alright. I'm cool with that as long as you're cool with me not believing in him (her/it/whatever).

I don't know what the definition of a conservative is where you live,

These lovely people: www.freerepublic.com/

Moderate Republicans are okay. I'm talking about hardcore, Limbaugh listening, the-President-is-a-secret-Muslim righties.

'Two and a half men', dude, that is the demographic you *should* be targeting, they might actually laugh at your gags, well, two and a half of them anyway. haha

Yes, not like your jokes obviously. You even write "haha" after them to remind people how hilarious they are.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Drama in the relationship thread. How fitting.

 

[HisMagicTrick]

Yes, there certainly is a lot of tension in here today.

 

[Anita18]

Well, what's on my mind today? It is the word compromise in regards to relationships. I'm mostly been introspecting on this based solely on a silly little Relationship Horrorscope I read. Basically the question in my mind is what do you consider suitable grounds for compromise? We all know that you can't get a guy or girl you date to agree to everything that makes you feel comfortable, but yet you can't promise to compromise on things that are beyond your control or impossible to fulfill. Well, let me give you a few examples of things that I will and won't compromise on based upon personal experience.

Compromisable Things:

1. That dern Toilet Paper roll. I can just flip it around to the way I feel is more comfortable to unravel.

May I also add, the toilet seat. Seriously ladies, it takes less than a second to check and 1 second to put it back down if needed. If you're awake enough to find the bathroom, you're awake enough to check. Nothing to freak out over.

Put it this way, you know how Natalie Portman portrays Jane and Kat Dennings plays Darcy in the Thor movie? Squish those two into one entity and you have me. I'm intelligent, ambitious and driven as well as fun, bubbly and funny.

We're not demonizing you - you actually sound a lot like me and your ideal man actually sounds a lot like my bf. In fact, I think most people who post here wouldn't disagree with your main ideas at all.

The main difference is that we don't write paragraphs upon paragraphs of stream-of-consciousness posts about the same subjects like you do. We don't feel we have to verbalize that we want someone to support us and not change us, because isn't that sort of the default in our modern society? The fact that you post like that (and use very adamant language) definitely colors our idea of what you're like. Multiple similar long posts of dubious helpfulness automatically makes the poster come off obsessive, even if it's not what you intended.

Writing very specifically what kind of man you'd like doesn't really help us give you any advice, beyond maybe getting out of the area if you can't find any men you like. We aren't matchmakers after all, just advice-givers.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Haha Anita rules. And is spot-on.

Writing large, endless blocks of text also gives one the impression that you're a bit... well... in love with yourself. That's probably why you have trouble finding a guy, Jinouga. Because they can't compete with your own self-infatuation.

 

[SpideyVille]

I wonder if she'll reply with another long block of text.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I'd put money on it.

 

[Anubis]

Nothing attracts the dudes like a little self-loathing.

 

[Polaris23]

This is getting pretty funny.

Freud would have a field day on this thread.

So would Nietzsche...

We could re-name this thread "The House of Victim Mentality"...

 

[Godzilla2000]

All I have to say is that if you don't like reading my posts about what's on my mind, then don't respond to them at all. Basically I think what you guys have to say is pretty rubbish. I post roughly the same things at a Monster Hunter Wiki message board and they're not as subversively hostile as you guys. I don't apologize for not thinking just like the masses. And if you can't handle my honesty then tough noogies to you all.

Sometimes I'll laugh at my own bs, because i am just typing up something frivolous and not meant to be taken seriously, so I'll type up something to indicate that. Lots of people do that, they either use 'lol', or a laughing smiley, or type up haha.

I mean, i thought it was pretty obvious that I knew you meant religious fundamentalists, and was just making a joke about the phrase you used, but you thought i really didn't know. So it just goes to show how much can be lost in translation over the net when using humour, and sometimes it's a good idea to add a little smiley or 'laugh track'.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

It's not that you don't think like the masses. Anubis definitely doesn't think like the masses. But he's funny. And sexy.

Try again.

Very closed-minded comment.

"If you don't like what I'm saying, please, leave me to bask in my own ignorance."

Doesn't impress me.

Basically I think what you guys have to say is pretty rubbish.

"I don't like what you are saying. Please, let me bask in my own ignorance."

I post roughly the same things at a Monster Hunter Wiki message board and they're not as subversively hostile as you guys.

"I post similar drivel elsewhere, but they are timid enough to let me bask in my own ignorance."

I don't apologize for not thinking just like the masses.

"I didn't read Anita's post and/or I don't believe that wanting someone who will support us and not want to change us is the general consensus and viewed as desirable to the masses. I'm too busy basking in my own ignorance."

And if you can't handle my honesty then tough noogies to you all.

"If you don't mind, I'll be over here basking in my own ignorance."
