That hasn't stopped a couple of TT women from unloading and trashing the guy after a breakup. ;-)

Ewker - I say it's her Navy boyfriend. He posts a little.”

“bingo, SS

i wouldn't trash anyone on here unless they deserved it. it's a public forum, no reason to do that. keep the trash talking private! my name is not mamabear ;)”

“I like her style! Scortch theat is! Loose lips sink ships!yo bear!”

“Scorchy - My respect for you just went up a notch.
I knew I liked you for some reason. ;-)”

“I forgot about her Navy Guy. She is such a flirt anyway. You should have seen the way she came on to me once she got me on the couch, oh sorry that is a professional secert ;)”

“Yep, she is such a dang flirt. I think she got mad at me when I told her I needed a 'mature' woman and I don't date women of an age I could be the daddy of. ;-)”

“You guys are too funny”

“B-4 O -62 !”

“Why do women try to make men crazy?”

“and Vice Versa RoamAround,
this is an equal opportunity dilemma”

“yeah, I suppose so - the world may never know the answers to such questions.”

“by the way things are better,. it was a misunderstanding.”

“Well, I'm over the new boy. He's a lovely friend, but the sparks are not there. It's over. It wasn't that intensely exciting AND we're still going to be great friends. We're both too busy to fall in love or do other misc. stuff like that.

I know, I know . . . I have nothing exciting to add to the thread.”

“I'm going to need serious help in about 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear about "the new boy" newgirl. The 'sparks' are important!”

“Serious help in two weeks? Do tell, Buddha Bear.

Bummer, newgirl. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

“What's up with you Artex? Any dates with hottie weather girls lately?”

“Well, not really. But, I signed up at the dating service "It's Just Lunch" yesterday. I must stress, I'm doing this strictly for work. I'd never do this on my own (nor could I afford it). Cameras are following me around during the whole process, and will also follow me on the first date. We're doing a story on it for the week before Valentine's Day. I'm supposed to have my first date this Friday, so long as they can find a match who doesn't mind being on t.v. It's proved interesting so far.”

“I don't envy you, artex.

First dates are bad enough without being on TV. Argh.”

“Artex - You rock. No regular dating scene for you.

What did you put in your dating information file?

Question 1: Who would you rather dance with?
a. Blond
b. Brunette
c. Redhead
d. A dead wild boar

Please let us know who the service matches you up with!!”

“LOL @ Phil!!

I'll post updates as they occur. It might be tricky for the dating service to find a woman who'd agree to be on camera for the exact reason Phaedrus pointed out. They sounded confident they could make it happen by Friday though.”

“Good luck Arty, may the forces of the HMWH Club be with you!”

“Thanks. I'll need it.”

“Dang, sounds kinda cool Artex. Your our resident reality TV star!”

“let us know when to watch the show artex.

why don't men and women understand each other?”

“wingding, maybe we have to understand ourselves before we can understand the opposite sex”

“Remember, In Genesis, G-d ripped a rib out of Adam to make Eve. Same fleshy stuff (vs. plants or wild boar for that matter), separated since creation, not a chance to be the same again. ;-)”

“I was thinking about politics the other day, then about the number of threads on TT about politics, then that most of the posters on the political threads are men...which somehow made me think of the "dating sucks" thread...
:)

And then how men say "I just don't understand women" but when it comes to politics, they read about it, talk about it, watch it on tv, argue their points, etc.
Men who say they are “bad communicators” seem to be quite prolific when it comes to politics.

Anyway, if you followed that train of thought…I came to this conclusion: what if all the energy expended on the insanity called politics was spent on the other insanity called relationship?

Not male bashing, just sharing an observation…



Cool beans Artex! Are you gonna fart on tv?

o(=D”

“that's funny twigeater, i was just thinking the same thing...that the men around here are the ones contributing to the political threads, for the most part. very interesting!

my friend says the same thing about football...that her sig. other has more invested emotionally in a stupid game than in their relationship. LOL!! the way she said it was really funny, though.”

“you may be on to something there twigeater.”

“LMAO @ Twiggie! No, I'll behave myself. But you make a good point about a possible correlation between the politics at dating. However, to play counterpoint, I avoid those political threads because I think they're pointless and stupid, and do devote much time and effort at trying to figure women out. I've made little progress though, and wonder if my time would be better spent arguing about why liberals and/or conservatives are ruining the country.”

BB are you referring to what to get for Valentine's Day? Any woman worth her salt would love a boiled bunny. You could boil it up together. LOL
just teasin' ya...”

“LOL@twiggy!
You have mail, dear.”

“mmmmmmmmm, bunny boilers!”

“yeah lyra, we're on standby for working nights and weekends, and I was worried about this weekend since I'm having a b-day party for my grandkids...(the philosophy here is appts can be changed, plans cancelled)

BUT no worries - the super bowl is this weekend - and my boss said in staff meeting this am that he'd hate to have to quit to watch the game...

Anyway, I think the sports "thing" is that the Pats and the Sox will be around forever, but each season is new and exciting to them. On the other hand, they see the same woman, year after year, doing the same thing...(I guess anyway)

:)”

“Course this also reminds me of that movie where this newlywed woman couldn't get her husband to "mind." (it was a 50s movie) So her mother gave her a book on how to train puppies and she applied it to her husband.

mail? oh goody!”

“yeah, if i could just get Tarpy to "go" on the newspaper or outside instead of on the carpet, we'd be all set. moo haa haa!!”

“How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.

Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine
will probably never
be able to support you.

Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allowsd them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.

How do you know when a woman is about to say something
smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told
me.."

How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.

Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.


What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.

I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.

Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.”

“Artex, you ought to open a blog, man. Your life is kewl.

Hey, Scorch, why don't you come to FYAO IV? Lots of folks from PA. will be there. Only the very nicest of ladies and gentlemen, except for...





BOOM boom, BOOM boom,BOOM boom...





THE CRAZY CANYUCKS! (Jnywlkr and I)”

“LOL--training puppies--I have had this same man for 40 years now and he still throws his socks and underwear and leaves globs of toothpaste all over the sink and mirror and so on--I shoulda had that book!!”

“Make that Canucks.

Your official Canyuck dork.”

“Don't come crying for advice on valentine's day in a couple of weeks. Plan now, unless you're going to dump here before you have to do the romantic thing.

Oh, and yes you really do have to do the romantic thing. Doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful.”

“BB won't you be at FYAO on V-day?
Read up on what gremlin's doing per advice from Dare, LOL”

“Yeah, I'll be at FYAO! I'll definately read Dare's advice, thanks for the tip. Twiggy, will you be boiling any bunnies for any special guys on that day?”

“For anyone who really wants to know, there's a better chance of changing peoples' minds about politics than understanding women.

We're playing the odds.”

“Phaeddy got it right! Wuth all the madness in politics, there is still more logic in it than relationships.”

“Phaedrus - For once, I agree completely with you! ;-)”

“logic! in politics! oh brother! rolling my eyes so bad they are stuck up in my head LOL

I wish I could write like BB, I could make up some funny stories that show how much the politics I see is like relationships.”
