There are twice as many women on campus, who seem pretty sharp as a group, but the guys are bunch of slackers. All they seem to do is play frisbee golf.” 11:34:26 AM 4/17/02 “Yeah, Newgirl, for what it's worth your mom is probably right. Don't vest anything in a guy who's not willing to deal with the fact that you have a child. Tell 'em immediately and if they run, they weren't worth your time to begin with. Better to find out early.” 11:39:51 AM 4/17/02 “LOL Aero! You are sooo right. I hear them talking about it all the time. I even saw one kid writing a little mini-manifesto on why it helped him relax. Twig, not trying to whine, just expressing my opinion on the scene. What makes you think that I am so "into" myself in the first place? Mike, I'll try the screaming thing, maybe there's another guy out there that thinks it would be cool.” 11:40:13 AM 4/17/02 “What I think sucks is the younger women assuming that the older men aren't interesting. :-)” 11:42:26 AM 4/17/02 “I'm not one of them LeSub. I have guy friends that range in age from 20 something to 50 something. A 33 yr. old guy friend recently introduced me to his business partner, who is 72. He is a very interesting man. In all cases I guess it is best not to assume. That frisbee golf manifesto kid might be interesting.” 11:46:50 AM 4/17/02 “Hey newgirl, come to Sacramento sometime, I'll introduce you to a lawyer friend of mine. He's single, likes to backpack and likes kids. There, now you're all hooked up. :)” 11:50:01 AM 4/17/02 “This thread is too funny! At least us disgusted singles get a chance to vent and the attached get to offer wisdom(?) and advice.” 11:53:41 AM 4/17/02 “'What I think sucks is the younger women assuming that the older men aren't interesting.' :-)" le Subtil I'm always looking and conversing as I bag groceries. Hummm! Does this mean that I'm interested?” 11:56:22 AM 4/17/02 “newgirl, It is definetly harder to meet someone when you're a single Mom, but not impossible. Hang in there! And don't assume because the guy is older he won't be into frisbee golf. lol!” 11:57:38 AM 4/17/02 “I live vicariously through myself.” 11:57:44 AM 4/17/02 “Things I have learned: Men never give up video games, frisbee golf, obsessing over their cars, or beer no matter how old or educated they become. Trust me. I've dated half of N. America.” 12:07:13 PM 4/17/02 “As nice as everyone wants to be, Biz really hit the nail on the head. The complete and honest truth of the matter, is that I have a child. It scares men right off the bat and naturally so, the reaction is understandable. I should be looking for a single dad . . . I wonder if they hang out at the frisbee golf courses. HeHeHe!” 12:08:47 PM 4/17/02 “Wow, Biz, how'd you find the time?” 12:13:15 PM 4/17/02 “'Men never give up video games, frisbee golf, obsessing over their cars, or beer no matter how old or educated they become.' biz Maybe, but I have not had a beer (or any alcohol) for over nine years. Since shedding my last wife, I have not had a good excuse for drinking. Went eight years after the first wife! Then the second drove me to it. (When I drank, I drank plenty.) ------------------------- Trust me. I've dated half of N. America.' biz Dog-gone-it, I'm always in the wrong group.” 12:29:45 PM 4/17/02 “According to biz: Men never give up video games, frisbee golf, obsessing over their cars, or beer no matter how old or educated they become. Video games: never like 'em, so never had to give them up. Obsessing over cars: Necessary(?) evil. I obsess over getting rid of my need for cars. Frisbee golf: frisbee always Beer: used to be Miller in mass quantities, now microbrews in limited quantities. Biz, you are waayyyyy... to smart to make such generalizations!” 12:40:50 PM 4/17/02 “I never dated anyone named biz. There as a Liz, and a few I called Jiz, but no Biz.” 12:41:14 PM 4/17/02 “Quiz: What do biz and Wilt Chamberlain have in common? Answer: Hyperbole.” 12:52:20 PM 4/17/02 “Did you actually call them Jiz to their face?” 12:54:03 PM 4/17/02 “Thomas Sean Connery will be 72 as of August 25, <G>.” 12:58:48 PM 4/17/02 “Sheesh, what a straight line.” 1:01:25 PM 4/17/02 “Sean Connery . . . yum.” 1:08:20 PM 4/17/02 Clint Eastwood Too.......72 “Shee-it I, for one, never got the car thing. I've only fooled with video games a few times and scratched my head in amazement at my boys playing for hours. Beer- I only drink good stuff now and try for moderation. nowslimmer- Beer helps hold my marriage together. I will spend hours practicing guitar, but not enough to be anything more than a decent musician. It takes more time than I have to give but it is great therapy......for something, I'm sure.” 1:27:16 PM 4/17/02 Apologies to Mark Twain “Biz: I totally resent the idea that we men are too simple minded to come up with new bad habits. For example, women used to complain that I would never give up backpacking, posting on websites, obsessing over my backpacking gear, and debating philosophy and politics.... I've proved them all wrong. Its been incredibly easy to give these things up, I've done it hundreds of times.” 1:55:28 PM 4/17/02 “newgirl – If the guys you are meeting are scared off by your daughter, you aren’t meeting men, just boys. My wife had a 4-year-old when I met her. She’s the one I refer to as my oldest daughter (not stepdaughter, just daughter). It was a package deal and I got a bargain.” 1:58:33 PM 4/17/02 I'm ashamed to admit this but.... “...this keeps reminding me of the episode of Friends, where Rachel, having discovered she's pregnant, is sitting in the coffee shop thinking when her old boyfriend comes up and starts talking about how he'd like to get back together. She says, "I'm pregnant" and his response is something like "OK, nice to see you again, bye!" and a quick retreat. When I was a young man, I dated a girl who had a two-year-old daughter. It didn't work out, but that didn't have anything to do with her having a child. Eventually you will find a man who's not scared off by your daughter, Newgirl.” 2:06:04 PM 4/17/02 “Thanks! You are all too sweet.” 2:20:38 PM 4/17/02 Picky? 2:23:11 PM 4/17/02 “Violet reminded me of an experience. In the open camping area at Deep Creek (GSMNP) several years ago, I was surrounded by a very large group from Davidson, NC. One little girl stole my heart. Questions by her during an interrupted conversation aroused my curiousity. So, on the way home one month later, I took an extra day to stop in Davidson. At the City Hall I was immediately recognized by two women, who had been chaperons with the group. I inquired about the girl and learned that she was from a broken home. Had she been an orphan, I intended to see about adopting her as a single parent. I may not have much, but I felt that I could give her the love of an interested parent. So, we are not all afraid of envolvement with children, or single mothers with children.” 2:28:30 PM 4/17/02 “That is soooo HILARIOUS! Violin, you made me laugh and I needed that. Thanks!” 2:31:03 PM 4/17/02 “That is really sweet Nowslimmer. I have hope.” 2:34:23 PM 4/17/02 “A woman drove you to drink?” 2:39:38 PM 4/17/02 “I'd love to have a daughter, but I'll have to wait and see if I get a grandaughter to spoil-but not too soon!” 2:41:49 PM 4/17/02 “Violin - That was a good one! I've heard that it pays to advertise. Likewise, at my age, I've found that I have to beat my own drum!” 2:42:33 PM 4/17/02 “See, now I think men hate to hear a woman beating her own drum.” 2:46:26 PM 4/17/02 “violin, crap that's my boyfriend! Oh well, back to the dating scene” 2:48:59 PM 4/17/02 “'A woman drove you to drink?' biz Yes, biz, at least in a way. I should have broken up immediately, instead, but love and hope can be strong incentives to search for an alternative. The booze helped nothing. The tale is too personal to disclose fully here.” 2:54:58 PM 4/17/02 “sorry to hear that nowslimmer. Ok, some men give up beer. But only because it is associated with evil heartbreak.” 2:57:06 PM 4/17/02 “I went out with a girl in college who worked part-time as a grocery store checker. Her other job was keeping the books at the strip joint her mom owned!! I had to go pick her up at her mom's business one night and to my great disappointment it was "Ladies night" with an all-male review performing. Gawd! what a freshman year that was!” 3:02:47 PM 4/17/02 “How funny, the Sean Hannity Radio Show discussion is paralleling this thread-dating, relationships, single parenting.....” 3:03:14 PM 4/17/02 “Video games-guilty Cars-recovering (ok ok guilty) Frisbee golf-What kinda crap is that? Beer-Never Ahh Newgirl, have a little faith. It'll happen sooner than you think.” 3:17:23 PM 4/17/02 “What do they have to say on the sub. Pathman? Anything we haven't covered here. Aero, you have had some interesting encounters!” 3:17:57 PM 4/17/02 “biz - I guess in a way the first time was an evil heartbreak. I was heartbroken about losing my four children in a divorce, and too weak to resist alcohol. I spent part of a night in the LA Jail when charged with a DUI. At that time I decided that if I was going to drink, I should not drive. But since I was going to drive, I decided I should not drink. I have never had any respect for the use of drugs. And now I feel that anyone drinking is foolish. And for smoking, in view of all the evidence, I have little tolerance. Frequently, when I see the actions of a girl, I say to myself, "She was pretty, until she put that cigarette in her month." These views are mine. I still make mistakes, but I am in better condition than during most of my life.” 3:19:14 PM 4/17/02 “That's it Tom! I've got a terrible memory for exact quotes, but I can clearly picture the way he said it. That had me laughing just reading your post. "I've dated half of N. America." Woo Hoo! Boy Howdy! Earth girls ARE easy! At least the ones in Arizona. "Men never give up video games" Darn, and I don't even play video games. "frisbee golf," Played it a few times. It didn't turn me on. I much prefer ultimate friz or real golf. "obsessing over their cars," I like my cars but I don't LOVE my cars. "or beer no matter how old or educated they become." Sorry to disappoint, but I don't drink beer. "Trust me." Trust Biz? Bwaaaaaaahahahahaha” 3:38:12 PM 4/17/02 “Doesn't Crazy Mike enjoy frisbee golf? If newgirl would just post a pic of herself, this whole deal could be closed.” 3:50:15 PM 4/17/02 “NG, that is what is weird, the callers are not quite as "rough" as the TT crowd, but the caller could be the same people.” 3:56:34 PM 4/17/02 “Another case of someone else ripping off TT.” 4:23:55 PM 4/17/02 You Know What They Say... “If she'll put a cigarette in her mouth, she'll put anything... You finish it.” 4:26:45 PM 4/17/02 “You can always turn that around, Chief... If she does smoke, you can always claim that it's better for her than a cigarette...” 4:37:43 PM 4/17/02 Jump to Page << prev
