Males and Females

[MasterOLightning]

Well, we're sure emphasizing the "Males" part of this thread. The next show I'm going to is Swans. Not at all familiar with the venue or area in that case.

Reggie's is one of the best venues in the city in terms of sound and price, but the neighborhood is kind of gross at night. Used to be you could drink beers in the alley in back of Reggie's until the good bands went on, but now there are either junkies back there or the staff makes you drink in back of the post office instead.

I made a booboo tonight and drunkenly messaged my ex who I was hoping was mature enough to be friends with me again but I actually doubt it.

Didn't say anything important but said being friends would be nice. Doubt she will respond nicely though if at all. Oh well EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES LOL

I'm just waiting for Sunday to fall in love... So that I could buy all your candy for half off.

I know I've seen Zeph's girlfriend. She gets around town.

Yeah, I really like Reggies as well. Where else can I get $3 tall boys of Colt 45? I can usually get a pint of Zombie Dust there as well which is always great.

Map Room is my favorite beer joint in that area. Perhaps we can all meet up there in the not too distant future.


Also, Happy Valentines Day!

I just want three things: a man that is sensitive, has some ambition, and is able to carry on a conversation once in awhile. Apparently that's asking a lot.

 

[Dak]

Being sensitive and having ambition are two traits that appear to be increasingly disconnected. Having ambition and a job also appears to be increasingly disconnected. It's easier to talk about what one is "going to do".

 

[Krow]

I'm pretty sure I have no ambition. Working 60 hours a week fucks that. My life revolves around waiting for music in the mail and getting drunk because everything else sucks cunt.

We live very similar lives.

Except I get more sunshine in my weather forecast.

EDIT:

This is almost sig worthy, btw.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Dak, i see what you did there. But I mean I just think it's basic though. Be nice, work (or work towards something if you don't) and talk once in awhile . What is the world coming to if this is not the norm?


People don't have to like be the president or any thing. Theres nothing wrong with having a job and living modestly. That's what I do. I only think it's ridiculous when people just refuse to work or,like, do something. Surely parent's hospitality runs thin? My mom kicked me out at 18 because I didn't have a job... Different strokes I suppose.

Edit: agreed with Kafkax: music alochol and cunts. Life is grand.

Incentives incentives incentives. You think it's bad here, look at Japan. The system incentivizes the behavior it is getting, whether intentional or not. The results of easy money and and the elevation of consumption.

I went through a stretch of doing basically nothing due to crippling depression and anxiety. I wouldn't have expected anyone to date me, though, and I never saw that as a sustainable lifestyle. I suspect there are a lot of people in a similar situation, although there are probably some who are just really really lazy.

 

[MoSeN]

Most guys might hate it but I think my girl type is someone talkative and a little clingy.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Yes, there clearly needs to be some balance. People aren't just tax paying machines or consumption machines. Free time and socialization are also important to develop hobbies and have meaningful relationships, but you also have to live and unfortunately it's difficult to do so without some income (if i understood what you said).

Waif: and I get that and sympathize with people like that as I too suffer from anxiety and extreme shyness. But if that's the case yeah, absolutely get the help you need first before anything( like finding a job and getting into a relationship). It's just not fair to think someone else can solve all the issues.

 

[Dak]

You're not the only woman complaining about the difficulty of finding a single* guy that is striving towards his goals/working and also has a reasonable measure of social skills. It's a pretty common complaint. Might need to start looking for those guys that lack some social skills. Plenty of lonely male geeks wishing some woman would connect with them. Just gotta get to where you feel comfortable telling them they should shower more often

 

[KafkaX]

Not all men who dont shower frequently lack social skills and ambition.

(In b4 this starts the shower frequency shit storm poll).

Truth. I plan on getting more social once I can get a new job with a shorter commute, but working 8.5 hours a day and commuting another 2.5 leaves little time and patience.

That being said, I also find an absolute disconnect in being social to meet a chick who wants to be anti-social together. While many relationships degenerate to being homebodies, I would genuinely like to find someone who wants to be homebodies together. I've given up on finding the ideal woman who is into metal and gaming and whatnot and settled to "doesn't hate hearing metal and likes being a homebody and animals/crafts/cooking or whatever other random homebody shit people do" type of person. I don't want to play myself up as being this super exciting renaissance man that most women want and then pull the rug out from under her and make her miserable with my boring homebody ass. It's disingenuous and setting a relationship up to fail. (For the record I don't think I'm boring at all, I think I'm awesome but its a matter of perspective particularly introvert vs extrovert, etc.)

But no fatties- this is where the plan keeps falling apart regardless of the work/commute dilemma...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I shower and apply deodorant and stuff, but my toenails reveal the truth. Every time a girl smiles at me I'm reminded to clip them, maybe twice a year.

 

[KafkaX]

I just puked a little in my mouth.

Thats the fucking worse. Even I wont go that low, as to keep unkept toenails.
