Dating sucks

“yeah she knows it's here but she thinks we only write about things like backpacking. Hummmm come to think about it, thats all I ever show her from here anyway.”

“Meet better looking guys backpacking.. except they are..hmm married!!!!!!!!

Oh well, maybe I should thru hike?
nawwww maybe I should just say...f#$@ it!
sounds good to me..”

“we married guys are good pickin's we don't complain, don't kiss and tell and don't expect anything more from ya!”

“drooly gimmedats!!! LMAO Lyndy.

>:D”

“oh great! somebody gave her access again.”

“maybe matt should start another section on thebackpacker.com . . . online dating for backpackers”

“Just hang at your local version of Cabela's and start conversations with chicks trying on boots! ;-)”

“yeah... well she can just... go outside and play hide and go fuk herself.

Shoulda seen this one coming... she wasn't for me anyway, i'll find someone new, someone who won't fuk me over in the end...”

“ah nowslimmer! I'm sorry to hear that your date cancelled. You sound much more healthier than she is anyway. Have a great time on your long trip! Oh, and thank you for the compliment. :)

simer! I'm sorry to hear that your date didn't work out either. You know, it sometimes takes a lot of dates before we find the "one".

sirpete, stick with your wife, it's not always greener on the other side is it single people? There are pros and cons to both sides. I haven't drawn up a list but I think it would be about even don't you?

hum...let's see:

pros for being married:
1. always have someone at home to talk with.
2. always have someone to cuddle with every night.
3. ummm...I can't think of anymore. That's terrible isn't it? Oh, can have sex probably more often than a single person! Maybe?

pros for being single:
1. can do anything you want on the weekends.
2. can cook dinner or get take out and eat late at night if you feel the urge.
3. don't have to ask anyone if you can go somewhere without them.”

“that about sums it up hikerchic - It would be nice to have someone to cuddle every night and still be able to do anything I want”

“Then don't buy... rent! LOL

(or maybe a lease...)”

“yeah wingding! And why can't it be like that? We should all be able to do whatever we want even if we have a partner!”

“You all forgot that when you get married, you may end up with one of those messy things called kids.




And you may have a baby or two as well.

:D”

you gals are like reading my mind...this exactly what I am talkin about there!!!”

“finally someone who understands my marrital frustrations”

“lol...you are going to get yourself in trouble! Did you see that one hot chick at ESU?”

“no I didn't do tell more LOL”

“what do you want to do sirpete?”

“He wants to spread tar all over himself and roll in feathers...and say "Hey I'm ChickenMAN!!!"”

“in reference to Advent...

do tell more about the "chic from ESU"
ESU East Stroudsburg University

ya see Adv and I are professional life long students. I've been in college since I got out of high school and still don't have a masters degree.

Sometimes I wonder why I still go but I tell ya the classes just keep getting better. Like this conservation Biology class I just finished, it was pretty good. Nothing like school after a hard day at work to really make you think. Keeps me feeling alive upstairs...if ya know what I mean.”

“LOL@Adv. No I want to rube tar all over them and then......oh never mind”

“I was just joking...but there are plenty there. I started my main summer session class on Monday....”

“...married folks are happier and more healthy, [on average].”

“And they get more and better sex too, contrary to popular wisdom. It's great being married!”

“backpacking is definitely a better option. :)”

“so, today at work we discussed the vast difference between "dating" and "going out"
so, if dating sucks,....does going out suck too?
i dont think so....do you?”

“Is "going out" like "hanging out?"”

“just what is the difference between dating and going out?”

“Going out is when friends can have a good time together without strings attached. It is nice just to have someone to "go out"with.
Just have a good time. :~ )
Dating? Is just different.”

“I agree with trekkngirl & om, when just "going out" with someone there is no expectations compared to dating. It leaves you with, "so where do we go from here? Are we an item or exclusive or what? I'm not sure if I like you that much or not."”

“I thought there were no strings attached until you get to the committed relationship part. I see no difference between the two other than a date might lead to something more - and that's not to say just "hanging out" couldn't lead to more too.”

“there are 4 stages in a relationship (or so i'm told by prominent bachelors)

Stage 1: the Talking Stage.
Obviously, this includes talking. guy thinks girl's cool, girl thinks guy's cool, but they NEVER categorize each other as boyfriend/girlfriend and are not seen in public together. sleeping together involved. if this lasts, stage 2 occurs several months later.
Stage 2: the Hanging Out Stage.
the guy may actually take the girl out in public, but not w/ his buddies, and tell his friends he met a 'cool girl'. sleeping together involved. if this lasts, and the girl stays cool, stage 3 occurs w/in 3 months.
Stage 3: the Seeing Each Other Stage.
this stage involves the girl to meet the buddies. if they approve, stage 4 occurs. if they don't, back on to stage 2 with other girls he's been in stage 1 with.
Stage 4: Boyfriend/Girlfriend.
boy can secretly see other girls, but he expects girl to be true....”

“pros for being married:
1. always have someone at home to talk with.

wondering if hikerchic5 has ever been married”

“I found a post-it last night with "The Givers of Pain and Delight" scribbled on it... and here's what I found. Remember this one? It's a classic.



SPOCK'S BRAIN
(The Givers of Pain and Delight)

AIRED: September 20, 1968
WRITER: Lee Cronin

GUESTS:
Marj Dusay (Kara)
Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel)
James Daris (Creature)
Sheila Leighton (Luma)


PLOT

A race of imbecile women steal Spock's brain to run their society. McCoy and Scotty hook up Spock's body to move via remote control. Kirk must decide which of three inhabited planets the brain was taken to, although none of them should possess the technology to surgically remove a living brain. Naturally, after Chekov's descriptions of the planets' evolution and population, Kirk chooses the most primitive. Women live in a climate-controlled underground complex, while men live in a semi-savage state on the surface in an Arctic environment. McCoy puts on 'the Teacher,' a thinking cap that gives one great knowledge for a short while, then re-installs Spock's brain. Without their supercomputer (or Spock's brain) to keep everything running, the women have to begin thinking for themselves and interacting with men again.



QUOTES

"Givers of Pain and Delight, she said..."
--Kirk

"Well, surely you noticed the delightful aspects."
--McCoy

"I certainly did notice those delightful aspects."
--Kirk

"Brain and more brain; what is brain?"
--Space Bimbo

"Yes, it's so simple a child could do it!"
--McCoy

"He's operating at warp speed!"
--Scotty.

While I might trust the doctor to remove a splinter or lance a boil, I cannot trust him to replace a brain."
--Spock

"The knowledge to reconnect a brain does not exist yet in the galaxy.
--Spock

"I never should have re-connected his mouth!"
--McCoy

“I Yam what I Yam !!”

“hey!! you stole my quote!”

“ewker, yes, that hikerchic5 girl has been married...............twice! one long one and one short one. ooh, that's funny.”

“INNUENDO!”

“Stage 2: the Hanging Out Stage.
the guy may actually take the girl out in public, but not w/ his buddies, and tell his friends he met a 'cool girl'. sleeping together involved. if this lasts, and the girl stays cool, stage 3 occurs w/in 3 months.


what about the o-shiit stage where you wake up one morning and you will allow the girl next to you to stay because you don't want your friends to see how ugly she is???”

“Story from my single days...

There was one girl who I dated when I was younger for a brief period of time...I was 17 and she was 21...

The relationship didn't last long, but we did become initmate during that period of time.

Well...we happened to work together and I don't think she ever stopped liking me.

Over the next 7 years even though we didn't ever date again...she happened to have radar for when I wasn't with anyone and we would "hook up"....

I would try to keep these occasion "hush-hush" from other people at work because the place was like a grape-vine but unforunately her sister happened to also work with us...

EVERY FREAK'N TIME WE DID SOMETHING AT HER PARENTS HER SISTER WOULD CATCH US!!!!!

Either she would see me come out of her room, or sneaking out of the house...etc....never failed!

Then she would run back and tell everyone at work.

Grrrrrr...

End of Story”

“The obvious solution to that problem was to nail the sister too.....
Dang yankees don't know nuttin. ;)”

“Is this the carpentry thread?”

“Dating sucks!

...AND THEN YOU SCORE!”

then you know the pros of marriage you had listed don't apply to married couples after the 1st yr, usually”

“its not like the guy gets any after the first year..... :{

Yam those bachelors were just being nice.

boy meets girl
boy nails girl
boy talks with girl
boy realises girl nuts
boy dumps girl

girl meets boy
girl lets boy have his way
girl talks with boy
girl realises boy is jerk
girl dumps boy

hmmm.... one wonders at times.”

“The sister was a little toooooo big for me.

Yeah big enough to lose her credit card and blame us for taking it....when she stood up it fell out of the rolls of her shirt and she said "oh there it is"......seriously!!!”

“Thank you for TMI Adventurist! lol”

“Then there's the classic Country plotline...

Boy meets Truck.
Boy loses Truck.
Boy gets Truck.”

“sirpete--
stage 2: guy doesn't bring girl home, therefore, doesn't have to worry about buddies finding girl. always stays at girl's home...

dom--
it takes a looooooooong time for girl to find out guy is jerk, therefore, guy dumps girl first. (guys are very good at foolin' girl)

tilt....
DOGS love trucks...therefore...guy gets dog??”

“dog get's little white dalmation hairs all over truck's interior...”
