I assume Orta reported him for being single, but a Bentley Jones crush is also possible.

Oh, and my girlfriend and I did all our Valentines day stuff this morning. Now the lady is watching Law & Order and I'm wasting my Sunday afternoon on this forum. True love ;)

You guys need to get out and find some womens. Even if they are paid for by your local stripping club. I mean, girls have to go to college too.

Can't say I like this day either. Maybe its because I'm not the flowers and chocolate type of person.

This day sucks me thinks.

It's a pretty nice day to watch the Blade trilogy.

GIRL: So did you went out with your girlfriend on valentines? ^_^
ME: NO I STAYED ALONE AT HOME AND WATCHED BLADE ALL AFTERNOON
GIRL: wow ur so hardcore, let's have babies. ^_^

I don't know of any strip clubs around here. There are hostess bars. Calling them that is being nice though, those places are between hostess bars and downright brothels.

I dislike the day because it's cheesy and celebrated by hypocrites. It doesn't beat Christmas on that scale but it's enough to annoy me.

Worst yet how it ended up being the same day as Carnaval's sunday. It's happy couple's and kids dressed-up as spiderman day.

I think there shouldn't be a specific day to be nice to the one you love. You could do it all year long!

Clearly you have never met a girl before... They aren't that smart.
Trust me, if girls werent into it, men wouldnt do stupid shit like that.

No man as ever thought
'you know what would make this sitation perfect? rose pettles'

... We just want bang bang bang. And then we want you to get off and put your junk away as SOON as we blow our load, because it's suprising how quickly we lose interest after and become down right repulsed by what we just did.

I can't remember what she did read, but it was certainly better than Archie at least. I do remember she said Venom comics were her 'guilty pleasure', and I can't for the life of me remember what else she read.
I think one was some Australian comic named "Chrome" or similar.

Oh and Identity Crisis or something like that.

My girlfriend hates games.
She used to play Megadrive with her brother growing up so I bought an extra PS3 pad to play the megadrive collection with me.
She played about half an hour of Streets of rage and that was it. bloomin' waste of £30! (the dualshock 3 not the collection, that is pure awesome!)

Apart from that she 'plays' wiifit and I let her win on Mariokart wii.
I will make her play SASAR as it's better than MK in almost every way (no 2player online and no 2 player cup games)

I think it stems from,

'Look baby I just preordered an Xbox360, it's my first console since the Dreamcast but I swear it'll be me last'.

followed a year later by,

'I know I said that the 360 would be my last console but the wii is so different I hardly think it counts. I promise that this will be my last.'

followed a year later by

'Okay I am getting a PS3 but I am selling my wii on ebay to pay for it, this is just lke swapping consoles so it doesn't count.'

followed by her coming home in august to see a wii in the tv bench next to my PS3 and 360.

'sigh'

I was just joking about the pad, I wanted it for the sega game and also for the rumble anyway.

Also, I don't play games when it's the two of us as I know she wouldn't enjoy it.

My gf likes watching me play Braid, Seaman, Viva Pinata and The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. SHe also gets a kick out of any avatar game, because I think she thinks my 360 avatar is better looking than I am (he has better clothing, at least).

Quote from: "Monkeroony"
My girlfriend hates games.

HA! Similar experience with me.

We moved in together 3.5 years ago and I had a PS2 and Dreamcast hooked up, plus an XBOX in storage. PS2 was the DVD player so really only the Dreamcast stood out as a gaming device.

Then 1 year later the XBOX came out to join the other two.

Then another year later my parents drove out to visit and brought me my second Dreamcast, my Genesis, my Nomad, my Sega CD, my 32X, my Saturn, my Game Gear and about 60 games! LOL oh man....

Then 7 months ago I bought a 360 after winning $350 at a cruise ship casino. She didn't like the idea, but once I showed her the wonders of NetFlix via the 360, she literally said "thank you" to me!

Now the game systems are at a good level, and most are in the back room in a discreet TV cabinet. If I bought a PS3 or Wii, I think I'd be single. lol

Yeah I never bought comics by the issue (apart from when I was really young and buying Sonic Comics!  :P ) , I always either get the collected paperbacks or graphic novels. I personally prefer it that way, much easier to store and probably cheaper in the long run.

Also I have no patience to wait a month between each chapter, which is why I prefer reading comics that are finished or close to the end of their run.

As for the Mortal Kombat shenanigans, you should have made him play Virtua Fighter instead! :afroman:

...As for this 40% malarkey, I agree that it must be very wide, I wouldn't consider someone who has only played the Wii and DS a gamer... I wouldn't consider someone who only plays Guitar Hero a gamer.

Yeah sometimes the employees at those game stores are hopeless, although I've never personally had any that didn't know their stuff. The worst I've had was the manager at my local EBgames saying that he heard Bayonetta only got "mixed reviews" and I was all like "OMGWTFBBQ it's like da best you wobbegog! 10/10 from Hyper magazine!"

And I've seen a couple of girls serving before as well, one of them was wearing a rooster hat from the Scribblenauts game. I was going to make a joke, but all I could think of were ones relating to 'Cocks'...

GAME dude are usually really nice people. This one time I was at the mall during Sony's E3 conference, so I entered the store and asked how was it going. They politely informed me and traded thoughts on how some awesome games were coming out at the time..

How come a girl puts you in the "friend zone" in a middle of a romantic relationship without either of us screwing up anything?

I'm just going to use this thread to say that I missed you guys. I've been rather absent these days because of being too busy dealing with failing relationships.

How come a girl puts you in the "friend zone" in a middle of a romantic relationship without either of us screwing up anything?

What the fuck. Seriously, I don't get it. She's indeed my best friend, but there was quite a bit more than that going on.

It's just frustrating you know..
Women are odd creatures. If another girl finds you 'attractive', she will fall all over you like you are the cure for cancer.

I have a problem with my boyfriend and I need some advise. What do you do when they always try to dominate you? Lately he has been telling me to shut up a lot and has been acting very aggressive. He also wants me around him too much, but last night I ditched him and he kept phoning my house. I am not sure how to react.

It's clear he wants you to become a transexual. Not post-op though, he still wants the male genetalia. I reccommend getting some surgery in Mexico with a no-questions-asked doctor.

You got the wrong definition of a whore, that sounds more like the definition of a teenage girl.

This is a whore:
Quote from: "Websters"
Main Entry: 1whore  
Pronunciation: ˈhȯr, ˈhu̇r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English hore, from Old English hōre; akin to Old Norse hōra whore, hōrr adulterer, Latin carus dear — more at charity
Date: before 12th century
1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money
3 : a venal or unscrupulous person

Also, 95% of girls cannot make up their minds; she will have a phase where she will want to date you again after she gets mad at the new guy.

What's the best way to get blood stains out of tile grout (The stuff in between tiles on, say a bathroom floor)? Bleach?
(Related to relationships, it involved a prostitute)
Title: Re: Relationship Thread

In my ignorance I'd say paint them.
Title: Re: Relationship Thread
Post by: Sega Uranus on April 27, 2010, 01:22:14 pm
If you follow Orta's advice you would have to remember to dispose of the paint and whatever you used to paint with as traces of blood will remain.

However, it is recommended you import the strongest brand of Norwegian bleach you can possibly find. Before it arrives, pour a rancid bowl of a day old water, garlic and onion mix that you have baked for an hour in every section of the floor said blood is in. If you have forgotten where some was, cover as much of the room as possible. Once the Norwegian bleach has arrived, use it on the floor to get rid of the stains. If by some chance random dogs come into the room said blood was in, they would not be able to sense it through the bleach and concoction I have described.

As an extra precaution, it is best to depose of any records you may have had of purchasing all of the above.

Next time you go out on a date and you agree to meet up at some place, go to a nearby place where you can see her but she can't see you. Stand there for a while until she's almost about to leave and then show up. Don't say you're sorry. This will make her value you more. You're important and she needs you no matter how late you are.

If you're in a group, don't stand next to her.. Just go lean against a wall and take out your mobile phone and text something. You're not needy. She is needy. She will come TO YOU.

Don't tell her you need her. Tell her you want to spend time with her, when she suggests a date say you're busy. When you feel like it, call her and tell her to come be with you "right now!". Be pissed if she doesn't. She will come.

If she comes over your house for dinner and you're alone, make sure you only have the one drink she hates the most. Make her drink tap water. When she whines about it say you'll make it up for her with some great sex. Get some.

I got slapped today.. Something about a female colleague of mine being a cunt and me stating so..
Then I said "get off my face, please" and I was all cool with everything and went on talking to whom I was talking to before, and this somehow really pissed her off. Awesome shit. Then her boyfriend got all though guy and I laughed at his face and he made a really funny mad face so I laughed harder and I almost got punched but I didn't, and this also pissed her off even more.

Girls are weird. I love my douchey self :3

Every girl I have been with has been manipulative. I do not mind it as much as other people do, and do not really think of it as a negative personality trait, but most likely it is me just being a pussy. Maybe people here just do not realize how clever some women can be?

Tell her, "I find you attractive, do you want to go to the movies".

Peel the band-aid, if its not good, move on. Simple. Better than waiting and being attached. Plus, if a girl liked you, I'm sure you would appreciate the bluntness.

Post by: fluffymoochicken on June 11, 2010, 01:38:07 am
They don't appreciate that much bluntness, George. o__o We're not assuming that this girl is totally desperate, are we?

Asking her to a coffee shop or a small, casual restaurant would be a much better option. But don't simply ask her out of the blue, either. Talk to her a bit first, and try to give the impression that you're someone who she'd enjoy hanging out with. People are attracted to those with calm self-confidence, but not blunt arrogance. Also, make sure to be a good listener, and not spend large amounts of time talking about yourself unless she's interested to hear it. Most importantly, don't ever lie about yourself or try to make yourself seem like you're someone you're not (unless you're hoping for a one night stand or something).

Obviously, I'm not an expert at dating girls, but I'd say that's some rather universal advice. I hope that it wasn't too obvious or anything. ^__^

George, that kind of approach is called the Pygmalion Effect or the self-fulfilling prophecy.  It's like, I know you don't like me, so let's get it over with. It's better to take the time to get to know someone first.  They don't know if they like you at first unless you can impress them with something--personality, whatever.

Again:

It's 3AM, I forgot how to fall asleep. I just wait around and wait till morning is here.
She's waiting for me to call her, I've forgotten how to care. No matter how much I love her I'm just too afraid of the future to do something about it.
I've cried yet, I forgot what it is to be sad. I did so many bad things I don't allow myself to feel miserable.

I love life, I hate myself. I don't think about it because it isn't worth affecting myself and her because of it. Still, it's 3h30AM and here I am alone wanting her here, praying she's awake too, crying over me and my damned weakness.

I'm sounding off a bit unfair though. Maybe it is true. I may just wish she yearns for me, but I want to spend my life with her. But not this way.. Not apart.. Holding each other, loving each other.

I don't realize what she means to me. Maybe I never will.. I'm just happy to have her.
Love of mine, wherever you are I hope you are aware that I love you.

Fuck my sins. I've awaited your kiss for too long.

Advice: Crackdude, everything you typed above? Don't tell her that or act like that around her. Girls don't want to date a guy that is down on themselves, they want someone that could protect them and be confident.

Walk up to her house, break down her door, punch her abusive dad in the face and have sex in her parents bed room. After, walk downstairs and force her mother to make you hamburger helper, basket in glory because she will write of your legend in her diary.
Title: Re: Relationship Thread
Post by: Orta on June 13, 2010, 03:28:32 am
Call her or you'll regret it. I second George's advice. Even if you're a sentimental whiny bitch like myself, get that mask and act confident.
Title: Re: Relationship Thread
Post by: crackdude on June 13, 2010, 10:01:46 am
That's exactly what I'm feeling! I'm mr Man around her and she loves it. But when I'm alone I feel so...down.. I hate being so damn far away from her. I'm a needy son of a bitch lol

Well, I probably better not punch her father in the face since he's probably going to be my professor in University, but yeah that sounds like something I would do.

I will be confident! Thanks guys.

Secondly It sounds like everything is working out for you. I don't see a big problem... Sure maybe you got with another girl but whats a guy to do! If this M girl stopped talking to you for 3 months you are only to expect that she has left you and its time to move on.

I don't think you have any reason to feel guilty. So long as you don't tell her that in those 3 months or so you didn't see anyone you haven't lied to her... So you are not in the wrong at all. And at the end of the day what she doesnt know cant hurt her.

Well I know that this thread is no longer active I thought it was interesting and should add my own thoughts in.

I have been dating my Boyfriend for a little over a year and he is just great. He loves to watch movies, listen to music and play video games. He has opened my mind to so many great things like the Dreamcast system. Also Anime shows and movies like Hayao Miyazaki and Cowboy Bebop. Since we have been together I know own all of the Miyazaki movies. Almost everything written or directed by Joss Whedon. I went out and bought a PS3. He introduced me to these Forums. I am truly lucky. We have a ton of stuff in common.

So.. A thing just happened.
On the previous pages I'm talking about this girl, M. What I posted was 2 years ago. Since then I've moved on and am in a stable relationship with a girl I love dearly, I'll call her N. I love N.


I haven't talked to M in a long time. But today I got in bed and noticed a message on my phone from her:


"Damn, I have no right to do this to you!! But damn suddenly I'm missing you, I don't know why. I picked up my notebook [from when we were dating] and I saw something that awoke many things inside me. I don't know if you remember but you wrote: 'I love you. You're my life. You're my partner and I love you'. And fuck I felt a grip inside... I'm a dumbass for doing this to you and I have no right, but I want you to know that part of me still loves you or I don't know what this is, I'm sorry. Forget this.. I don't know why I'm saying it.. Damn.."


It was fucked. up.
I gently told her off.. But reading this caused a certain impact in me. I was NOT expecting this. Even more so now that I've moved on.


Maybe I'm just a big wimp over these things, but I'm kinda sad for her..

That's the worst kind of bitch. Bitches do that shit all the time, my ex tried to pull this crap with me, and I was with her for nearly five years. Stay strong and dodge her, it can only end in disaster.

You seem to already have that planned out, just know I support your decision to stay with 'N'.

Just remember man, she starts to bitch that sending you that text is a bad idea at the end of the message. Just remember, if she truly thought it was a bad idea, why'd she send it? Because she's attempting to pull some weak ass reverse-psychology bullshit on you, you aren't stupid, you see through that.

Once you're moved in, saying you're dating is odd, since you're together all the time and share a place. So boyfriend/girlfriend living together for three years, then got engaged and then married.

So I guess it doesn't feel that different, seeing as our living situation married is the same as it was for the three previous years living together in sin.

The real changes are that things are far more relaxed. I mean, no expectations in terms of proposing and no wedding planning since it has all already happened. Also, there are the little government perks and the status symbol of having a ring. But yeah, not terribly different.

@crackdude:
I ran into a similar situation in the past. Definitely stay away, and stick with N.

@Barry:
Sorry, I totally thought it had been October 2010.
Also, that sounds nice. I'm 20, don't wanna rush things, but living with someone is an idea that appeals to me..


@Soup:
Thanks man..
I see that this is a quite common situation? I had no idea..

No problem.
It's probably more common than it should be.
Good memories tend to be the ones that stick with people after long stretches of time. So some people run across something that reminds them of the way they imagine things were, and will try to get that back. The big thing to remember is that things are never the same after a full on breakup, and those idealized memories aren't reality anymore.

You're much better off in the happy relationship you're in.
