ncermak Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 There are probably as many answers to that questioin as there are guys... Earlier in this thread (or somewhere on this board) it was said "no matter how teriffic she is remember some other guy got sick of her" or something to that effect. While somewhat degrading in one sense...it also has some truth. she wasn't right for someone...(and this goes both ways). very few in life fall in love with the first person we date, get married and live happily ever (unfortunately). The rest of us get sick of the other person for whatever reason..or they us. The best we can hope for is to find that special someone and not settle for less. What I look for: intelligence, adventure, fun, social. the person who can put a smile on your face with a thought. the twinkle in her eye as she glances at me from across the room. The person I want to introduce to my friends and family. basically, take it back to that cheesy yet great 80's classic by Depech mode: "somebody" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes their family. Good kisser. Not dying to have more kids. Is that enough? Good traits Randy, I'll echo that. Lets add a few. Likes herself.. that is she is ok being by herself or alone. This is a good barometer in my book. How well she does by herself for several days at a time. Or does she call and say "I'm lonely" , if so drop her. Does she have a life after work or is she waiting for someone to make her happy after the 8-5 work is done. If so drop her. Is not a Control-freak. If she gets upset when things are not done her way or is always blaming others. If so drop her. Go to Smart or intelligence. If she can operate a VCR timer and all the controls plus use a computer, that is a good test. If not drop her. Check out her family specially her mother, if the mother is a bitc* then drop her. If the family is messed most likely so is she. Gals reading this - replace her with him. It works both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C5 Golfer Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Kinda in line with this post: I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to have to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger... "Man, that guy is stupid" I thought to myself. I always smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why. I drive 48 miles each way everyday to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper to bumper. Most of the bumper to bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass everyday. Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has pms. That's 642. According to cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449. According to the national institute of health, 22% of all females have considered suicide or homicide. That's 98. And 34% describe men as there biggest problem. That's 33. According to the NRA, 5% of all females carry weapons. That means that every single day I drive past at least 1 female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, and has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has pms, and is armed.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 SWM in dead-end job seeks dumpy neurotic for mutual psychological torture, tepid sex, and co-dependency. I enjoy drinking, smoking, pornography, and self-righteous indignation. I can't stand movies, and the last album I bought was The Marshall Tucker Band's Greatest Hits. I have middling intelligence but try to appear smarter by affecting a world-weary air, memorizing useless facts, and chuckling at my own mean-spirited, agenda-driven jokes. I'm 40, but look 50 and feel 60. You are a whiny, bitter shrew with a misplaced sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations. In time you will become coolly hostile when I don't fulfill every unmet need you've ever had. Bonus points if you just finished screwing every guy in town and but now want to take it slow with me. My perfect night would include getting hammered in a sleazy bar while you flirt with seedy old drunks, followed by an embarrassing screaming match. I would be open to an unsatisfying fling that leaves me filled with regret and dread but prefer a long-term, soul crushing descent into booze and pills. No friendships. I don't need any goddamn friends. Age unimportant, but I will condescend to women under 30 and rehash mother issues with women over 40. Serious replies only, please.

Hahahahaha.... uh, good thing I'm on reasonably good terms with her! What did you teach her to shoot? I took my lovely girlfriend out to the range and started her on a 22 , she did great, progressed to a 380 she did great and then she wanted to try the 9mm and she did great. So she asked what that big guy you are shooting? She went on the 40SW and did great with that too. She now has a Concealed weapons permit. Did I do the right thing??

Jon Dahl Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 .38 in my old .357 S&W, never let her have a go at the .45 ACP or anything larger, such as my LAR Grizzly .45 winmag!!!

C5 Golfer Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Anyone try shooting the 500 S&W Magnums? Talk about some power in a handgun... Have not but that is mere child's play compared to shooting a .460 Weatherby Mag. I have never ever been shaken so bad after pulling a trigger. I had to fire it again because I did not believe it hit that hard. Well, I should have believed it. How'd we get on this subject when we were talking about dating and relationships? Hope it is not all related or some of us are in big trouble. :) :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think your comment applies to "all" men. There are a few of us trying to mend the damage so many of the idiots incur on a daily basis. I sure hope this thread is not used for any measure of the idiot stick. Wenn ich mich nicht sehr irre ...:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateW Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 It was my GF who dragged me to the range this summer. I've shot a few times but never really got into it, she was totally new to it. She went from "that .38 frightens me, stand further away while you shoot it" to "gee, I hope they have some compact .45s to rent this time." The work-your-way-up from a .22 approach worked very well for her; for me it was work-your-way-up from a .40. I used to find .45s uncomfortable but now we're both saving up for 1911s. Every gun shop we go to, she's like "do you have any small-frame 1911s with 4-inch barrels?" Like the kid from the "Christmas Story" movie.
