CFMO - women's club

“Ok, only one request. Never-the-less.

But let's talk about that women's hike. Maybe this will get the trip started for real. Thinking spring, thinking central location, where were we on this? I don't see it on the trip page.”

“had a trip ever been in the works?? how's about mid to late april.....i guess easter is in there.
what part of michigan are you in, dhutch?”

“How about 19,20,21? Easter Weekend, but many have extra time off. What a great way to celebrate rebirth, than with nature. Anyone, hop right in with where this was left off last time. I'll try my best to help organize.

I'm in Southeast Michigan, South Lyon, north of Ann Arbor.”

“is this a trip near Michigan?”

“I still love this idea. The trip doesn't necessarily need to be in MI, we can find a compromise.

Unfortunatly, I'll be in Boston Easter weekend, watching a friend run the Boston Marathon.”

“dang smiley, you always come up with something to keep you from backpacking ;)

If I am not mistaken wasn't Evergreen trying to get up a womans only hike later on this yr?”

“how about wva or kentucky?? is that pretty central? i've never bpacked ohio or indiana--not sure what's there...”

“Yes, we can have two can't we???!
Autumn seems so far away.

Roll Call!”

“yeah, i fear i will never meet the 'ever busy' smiley girl!”

“I am a busy girl, I have many things (too many) going on in life! I did get out for a nice little dayhike yesterday, though.

One of these days, Yam, it will all come together!”

“How about somewhere further south? <G>”

“I want to go! Where's it going to be?”

“Don't make us set up a private trip, boys! ;)”

“Curses! Foiled again!”

“I love the idea of a womens hike, where do I sign up?”

“One of these days, Yam, it will all come together!"

ok, so to heck with me huh...thanks”

“Hi, can I be part of this man hater club.
I dont' like hiking with boys either.
Its' my right as a woman to exclude anyone I want.
If the boys dont' like it, they can just go cry to their mommy.
Im' happy dhutch1, yam, mapleleaf, and smiley girl hate men also.
More WomenOnly hikes!
GrrlPower!”

“I am pretty sure that these women do not hate men. I am pretty sure that is not the point of this trip. I am pretty sure that most of the men here do understand that. I am pretty sure that most of the women here understand that. I am pretty sure there is no "man hater club" here. What I am not so sure of is how you came to any of your conclusions based on the above posts. It's a good thing you live in California. It would a better thing if you were a troll.”

“Yeah, what wolfeyes said. :)

Now Ewker, I never said I didn't want to meet ya. Don't jump to such conclusions!”

“Pat21 = troll.”

“Pat must be a s/he.”

“A husband comes home from work after another long day at the office.

Upon entering his front door, however, he is puzzled to find the hallway scattered with toys, jackets and a pile of unopened mail on the floor. Even more surprising, when he entered the living room he found toys everywhere, overflowing ashtrays and dirty teacups from the night before. Now starting to get worried that something might be wrong, he goes into the kitchen, only to find the sink full of dirty dishes, the tiled floor filthy from muddy paw prints and kids' footprints, and again toys, unwrapped food and an even bigger mess.

Now in a panic, he quickly climbs the cluttered stairs and bursts into the bedroom, only to find the bed unmade and his wife sitting at the window admiring the view.

"What the hell has happened dear? It's like a war zone in here!"

"Well dear, every day you walk through that door from a long day at the office, and every day you ask me the same question: 'what did you do today dear?' Well today I didn't do it!!!"”

“I just found reference to the women's hike being September, Lost Cove - I think TN. I'll try to get Evergreen in on this and get it on the trips page. It should probably be private so we can gather an invitation list. Sorry guys, your not invited. We can handle this ourselves.

New business - Need input

Letting a guy off easy when they are way too serious. Too nice to be mean to, not exciting enough to be more than friends. My instinct says to go with the, "You'd make a great friend, but I'd hate to hold you back from meeting the woman of your dreams" speech. How do you ladies do it?”

“i met a guy once who wasn't exciting enough to be more than a friend. three years later, i married him. we have our 8th anniversary next month. he's the love of my life, and has never mistreated me. i'm incredibly happy that i married a "nice guy." he's a great dad, too. my sister married a bad boy and all that's brought her is misery.

now, as for getting rid of your nice guy, you just have to be honest. say "you are a wonderful man, but i'm just not interested in this going any farther. i'm so sorry, but i just can't change the way i feel." make it sincere and from the heart, and he should understand, even though he won't like it. but be prepared, if he REALLY cares for you he will be hurt. alas, i always preferred those relationshps that mutually drifted apart. HATED breaking up.”

“Tarbubble is right, just say you aren't interested in taking it any further. Enough said.”

“I've done all of that. He doesn't get it. I'm going the direct route for the third time this evening. The only option after that is to give up the friendship entirely.”

“Pick up some Amway brochures and try to sell him on it the next time you meet?”

“tell him you've joined the other team! ;-)”

“Seriously though, I had a woman give me The Hint once by bringing a friend she wanted me to meet on a lunch date.”

“Dhutch, its nice to be friends and all, but heck, if he doesn't get the point now, a friendship may not work out anyway! DUMP HIM! :)”

“i had that problem a couple years ago. this guy was one of my best friends, but he kept pushing for more. i think i told him a quazillian times that i only liked him as a friend. it took me moving to another state and cutting off communication with him for several months for him to understand i meant it. and even now, when i go back to MN to visit, he starts getting ideas.

unfortunately some people just cannot shut down those feelings so you may have to say goodbye to his friendship. unless you want to constantly be telling him how you feel. but it gets old.
just my experience.”

“we can't win can we. Too nice and we're boring - we're wild enough to sleep around and you get pissed.... Am I supposed to be in here ;op

On a serious note if the guy is this nice he's probably already gots lots of female friends who all whine at him about how crap thier lives are. Dump him and let him move on to someone who will appreciate him.”

“a wise person once told me:
we don't know what the heck we want. but it sure ain't what we got.”

“never satisfied.... so to speak :o)”

“hasn't this been discussed before on the "What Women Want" thread.

After pages and pages of this and that it was finally determined that women don't know what they want in a guy ;)”

“gosh darn ewker i don't read all the past threads!!

btw what's up with your email?”

“nothing that I know of, I will send you one instead of a reply, lets see if that works”

“Oh sure, you'll e-mail yam but won't reply to mine!”

“I think one way to keep women on their toes is to make them jealous ;op”

“have you sent me one today?”

“no, i was referring to your question about IR!”

“Chick Hike?
I am there, chicklets.”

“better watch out bazooka joe you just might get chewed on”

“... 'blowed'-up, popped and stuck under a desk.”

“You guys thinking what I'm thinking.

idnightma antypa aidra ;-)”

“Artex, this is your best troll yet!”

“Even better than Jello Fog?”

“Thats what the gals around here call their women only trips...

It somehow sounds a lot better then when guys set up all male trips....All Dicks, no Chicks...

That's just, wrong......”

“yeah Jello Jog is just pathetic”

“I call my member bazooka for a reason.”
