Different Species

[scheherazade_79]

Tell me to go to sleep or sober up if I'm talking a load of bullshit, but does anyone else feel like Frodo when it comes to the dating game?

I've met several beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated women in the past and they seem like a totally different species from me.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not having a crisis of self-confidence, because I actually kind of like the way I am. I don't put on any acts and I'm true to my own emotions.

But sometimes I feel like some kind of quirky Frodo-type character trying to win over a goddess. Why is it that these women never have a hair out of place, never get a zit, never fart or burp, nor pick a horrible outfit, trip or do something similarly embarrassing?

I wouldn't be able to achieve that if I tried.

I always feel like Frodo when I go out with my friends. I am the biggest, and also the goofiest. In the dating game, I can't sympathize but I can empathize. I got married at 19 to my sweety from high school so I have it made, but I do know that I can't attain goddesshood though I try.

I always feel like an ogre around really feminine women -- the dainty, elegant, coiffed-and-manicured types -- but they're not a type that would interest me sexually unless they have a really down-to-earth altruistic personality (which is quite unlikely), so it's really not a problem.

I am the antithesis of that: tall, large frame, athletic, not a stitch of make-up, and all of about 15 minutes from the time I step into the shower until I'm ready to walk out the door.

Yep.

And I prefer to dress for comfort rather than fashion, though we don't have the bucks for high fashion anyway, I suppose.

I am most comfortable in a pair of Levi's and a T-shirt or tank. Colder months find me with Levi's (or Lee's slacks if I have to be more formal) and a tank or T but with another shirt over that. I do love sweaters and jackets because I can wear them over jeans.

And then I look at one of my professors and I'm in awe.

She has a multitude of suits, always follows the proper fashion color with the proper time of the year, she has 100+ pair of shoes, and her makeup and jewelry always match her clothing. And she seems to easily scurry around in those heels all day long.

I couldn't do it. I'm lucky to find a matching pair of earrings in the morning.

(Hell, some mornings I'm lucky to find clean underwear.)

I find tall, large frame and athletic really sexy actually. It's more comfortable for sprawling on top of and cuddling with.

I know the feeling. I have fewer than five pairs of shoes, trainers and slippers included in that number.

I'm more of a troll myself.

But, impeccable people are not gods and godesses to me, but rather represent some kind of spooky alien invasion a la Body Snatchers. People who are perfect creep me out. If non of their flaws are on the outside, they must have them all on the inside, is how I tend to reason.

I think I'm with you there, Liar. I'm sorry to lower the tone of all this, but do you ever find there are some people that you could never ever imagine taking a shit?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!!

I never wear make up. My idea of fixing my hair is blow drying it. I live in jeans and shorts.
My ex's family of well-dressed, perfectly made up women continually try to get me to change, but I just can't. If someone isn't attracted to me the way I am, I guess it's their loss. Cuz I can't be that other kind of girl.

Get over here and clean the coffee off my keyboard, woman! (Then you can sprawl atop me!)

Don't change, Sophia. I tried it once before and it was soul-destroying. You sound fantastic the way you are

The coffee might have dried by the time I get over there, but I'll take you up on the offer!

No never, love, but how so? Of course I go in thinking they have to win me, and well being almost 40 and still getting beautiful model-type, not that I brag, its just what I get ... 18 year olds ... :| PM if it troubles you. They all fart and get pimples.

I will at least give tips

You should write a book about it, Charley. I bet there'd be plenty of takers - me for one!

People have - just not for bi or lesbian pick ups

Exactly. They just plain terrify me. Same goes for the perennially cheerful.

So do you!

I am also one of those who can not for the life of me maintain the perfect house. I get so frustrated b/c all it feels like I do is clean but I never have one of those houses you can walk into and see no dust.

I would like to be able to see my hardwood floors.

Occasionally.

I've always been a frodo sort of character..short and dark haired.. I've always been amazed how some ladies look as though they've just come straight from the beauty parlour after doing a hard days work and not a hair is out of place! I always seem to look "wrong" in make up! I tried eye-liner once..that was scary! I now just admire these beautiful ladies from afar....while I'm in my jeans and wellies looking like i've been through a hedge backwards!

 

[Dar~]

I can't be bothered to do my hair and make up everyday. Hell, dressy for me is clean jeans and a nice (machine washable) top. When I go out I put on Eyeshadow, mascara, blush, and chapstick.

 

[SeaCat]

From the male perspective.

I don't care for those people who act like they dont' fart. Oh how they are offended by even the hint that they may take a piss or worse yet take a shit.

Let me clue you in on them. They fart, they piss, and they shit just like the rest of us.

My uncles ex was one of these women who would claim to be perfect. Hell when she needed to take a piss she stated she had to Micturate. According to her sex in anything other than a marriage, behind closed doors with the lights off and in the missionary position was somehow against the laws of the universe. HAH!

My Uncle felt she had been playing him for a fool so he hired me to follow her. (What the hell he paid for all the equipment as well as room, and I got to keep the equipment.) Within a month I had roughly fourty hours of video of her and damned near every scuzz she could convince she was for real. We're talking gangbangs, we're talking anal, we're talking BDSm complete with whips, cuffs and chains. Hell we're even talking water sports and scat. Mama Mia what a show that was in the courtroom when my uncle started playing the tapes. (Yes I got to keep my pick of the tapes, she was a looker.)

In other words these perfect people are just like us, they just can't admit to it. Don't let them give you a snow job.

Well, really who can be bothered to take something to the dry cleaners? I mean Really.
