The Dating Game - 2013 Version

[Mike_Oxready]

PLAYERS and PLAYETTES GUIDE

"HOW TO PLAY "THE DATING GAME"

don't be too eager - don't be too available - don't be too honest - think of dating as an exercise

stay cool - stay non-committal - keep all doors open - try to keep something better waiting in the wings

don't give any true feelings away - don't wear your heart on your sleeve - don't say, "I Love You"

don't let 'em know you're interested - don't get emotionally involved - do not immediately answer a phone call or email

make 'em think they're smart, wonderful, praise 'em, stroke their ego - leave as much as you can about yourself un-said

tell 'em what they want to hear - Never lose the upper hand - Never let 'em off the hook if you might be able to use 'em sometime


The Player's / Playette's entire mental attitude about love, sex, relationships,etc It's just a Game. It's all about power, manipulation and deceit.
You can never let on that you want anything very serious if you ever do, you lose. You just do what it takes to not get voted off the island ...
They are a Player / Playette for a reason, the reason being: they are not ready to settle down.
So ... if you're up for fun, then hop in the sand box; otherwise, just keep hanging from those monkey bars.

[Saint Peter]

Have you ever had a date?

 

[Sean]

If the spelling wasn't so good I'd swear this was an Ish thread.

 

[Mike_Oxready]

Have you ever had a date?

You mean like with a real person or just someone who lives on Lit?

No sex on a first date for anyone who pays any attention to this nonsense.

 

[Saint Peter]

You mean like with a real person or just someone who lives on Lit?

Real and alive. Not your cousin or sister's friend. No money exchanging hands.

You know, like that.

tyvm for that. It's probably pretty fucking lame, though - no politics, no racism, no class division, no gender wars & all that good shit.

 

[Mike_Oxready]

No sex on a first date for anyone who pays any attention to this nonsense.

I think the idea is to hold back on all that cheap physical shit until you're sure you can use it as a bargaining tool.

 

[Mike_Oxready]

Real and alive. Not your cousin or sister's friend. No money exchanging hands.

You know, like that.

Enlighten us - is that how it's done?

 

[Saint Peter]

Enlighten us - is that how it's done?

That sounds like a no.

 

[Mike_Oxready]

That sounds like a no.

Did you see this presented as someone's personal problem?

Strange how your filters work.

Carry on.

Carry on.

What if we scratch the cousin and sister's friend exclusion? Off the table.

Now have you ever had a date?

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Can I play? Or is it men only?

 

[Saint Peter]

Can I play? Or is it men only?

Do it.

No cousins or sister's friends. Everything else is fair game.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Do it.

No cousins or sister's friends. Everything else is fair game.

I have some hot cousins. I will cheat to win, just so you know.

 

[Saint Peter]

Noted.



Are you a cop?

 

[Mike_Oxready]

Can I play? Or is it men only?

You are very welcome to play.

lol - I'm only certain about my own gender.

I'd break down & tell StP to fuck off, but I remember that you never argue with a moron since they just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Noted.



Are you a cop?

I bet you ask that of all your dates.

I prefer sex to gender, but that's just me.

 

[Saint Peter]

I bet you ask that of all your dates.

I don't kiss and tell.




Are you a cop?

 

[Mike_Oxready]

I prefer sex to gender, but that's just me.

Agreed. I prefer good sex to good gender anytime.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

I don't kiss and tell.




Are you a cop?

Are you a Saint?

 

[Saint Peter]

Are you a Saint?

Sometimes.

"HOW TO PLAY "THE DATING GAME"

Just ran across this. Do you think we have evolved to this?

I hope not.

My brain nearly exploded at "think of dating as an exercise." I straight away thought of my pelvic floor muscles.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Sometimes.

I'm never a cop, if that absolves you of any legal restrictions to playing the dating game.
