Moment of Weakness.

[Joe Wordsworth]

A combination of tired and cold (as the temperature dipped below sixty today) put me in a bad place this morning. Specifically, I have found myself obsessed with the idea of getting back together with my ex.

Rationally, it is a bad idea. We had little in common and she wasn't really my type.

But, I meet women. I have trists pretty regularly. But "relationship"... that's a four letter word in my world. I'm not the sort of guy you marry, I'm not the kind that gets taken home to meet the parents. I'm every bit the "bad boy" that nice guys hate for getting the girls: negligent, dominating, "bad for them", etc.

However, that one isn't good at relationships doesn't mean they don't try or want them. Doesn't mean they don't need them. So, I'm hoping the morning brings something foxy by me when I'm grabbing drinks around lunchtime... 'cause if you've ever gotten one of those sentimental streaks in your head before, you know what I'm talkin' about when I say that its absolutely depressing and maddening.

I hear ya. Take matters into your own hands for the time being. You will feel 100 times better.

Nothing is as UNsatisfying as doing something for the wrong reasons. You'll just end up dissing yourself.

VR, you boring, rational tramp. You run around inducing fun, then killing it as soon as everyone's ready to take the plunge. You tease!

Its just so... not me. How do people deal with shit like that, really?

Traditionally, I drown feelings of regret or sentiment in something foxy, blonde, and not old enough to drink legally. I am, however, trying to change. Ugh.

I don't really like "emoting".

I don't deal with it, at all. I just strap myself in and enjoy the ride. You gotta take the rough with the smooth and just enjoy it for what it is, not for what you wish it would be.

Love life and live and, most importantly, enjoy it! Don't analyse, just go for it.

What Lou said.

It's no fun to get a few years down the road and wonder what if?

Go for it.

 

[Guest]

All I will say is what I have said for years. Almost my anthem now.

I don't regret the things I've done... nearly as much as the things I didn't do.

Take it for what it's worth.

Ask any father, this is what all the boys are like. I know I was when your age.

Anyway, what kind of philosopher are you? Asking ordinary mortals for help in relationships.

I think your main problem here Joe is that you're having trists instead of trysts. Completely different thing and a lot less fun.

Forget about types for ten minutes. Try fat girls for once. Or older women (pensioners are generally good for a fuck and they'll treat you just as bad).

(well! there's plain speaking and there's just plain rude)

Rationally, it is a bad idea. We had little in common and she wasn't really my type.

the question I have is whether you found yourself missing her or just missing "somebody".


If it was little things about her, not little things about being in a relationship, then perhaps you should look at Lou's point more closely...

If it was the whole "someone" to wake up with, to talk to at breakfast, etc., then pay attention to Vella.

I spent years with one ex where we would miss each other, go to dinner, start dancing and find ourselves kissing or discussing whose place to go to and then wake up to reality. just because you have physical chemistry does not meant you should be together. Jen and I were BAD for each other. We just liked to fuck each other.

The why and what of the missing is what you need to determine here.

Then who is the kid in your AV--someone you shook down for his lunch money and a snap-shot?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

You're a BAD boy? Then who's that in your AV?

 

[sincerely_helene]

I stand behind my first suggestion. Wank it off. You'll feel better.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Well, I'm about 6'6" and 220. My picture doesn't really do my dimensions justice. I have been called "manly" before. I never tried working on an image, really... but I smoke, drink, wear leather coats, box.

...I should hunt for a less "cute" picture. I feel I'm not being taken seriously. : )

 

[cheerful_deviant]

...I should hunt for a less "cute" picture. I feel I'm not being taken seriously. : )

I think you should if you want to look like a Bad Ass. And definitly loose the plaid shirt. Bad Asses don't wear plaid.

 

[gauchecritic]

Bad Asses don't wear plaid.

The ones that carry gigantic axes and cut down trees for a living do?

Altogether. Ooooooooh....

LOL Sounds like my ex, only she's 5'5 and 120, and the anti-thesis of manly and not the kind you want to marry if you value your furniture.

She called a few days ago re a death. We got together, then got together again, and it wasn't long before I was reminded of the hell ride. Don't listen to Lou!

Don't do it! lol

So your "manly" and smoke, drink and (OMG) wear leather coats, and those two major endearing qualities, negligent and dominating. Gee whiz, the only thing I like more than that is a guy who wants to tell me all about it. How did your ex let you slip away?

This is a joke thread that no ones caught on to yet, isn't it?

[Guest]

Gosh, this is not the first whinging guy thread I've seen recently. What's up with that? Hmmm, the other guy's only 20-something too.
