Billionare Toys
I'm watching a show on the Travel Channel called "Billionaire Toys." They just showed a $350,000 RV that had a 40 inch TV with surround sound, a king size bed, a fire place, a TV system that slides outside with a 36 inch TV..so you can watch it outside! and to beat it all a garage in the back. You can fit a small car INSIDE this thing.

LOL, interesting life there simer...ride a snowmobile to school, watch tv in a hotel lobby.

Now they are showing the worlds most expensive grill..$72,000
Dub

nah, i've heard of more expensive girls than that
simer190
11:56:04 PM
1/22/04

but hey, it's my life... i wouldnt' want it any other way, i just gotta find myself a decent woman... you'd think they'd come that way up here on the edge of the bwca, ya know... but the 4 girls that actually attend this school are either sluts, stupid dogs, ohhh boy that's gonna get me introuble some day... i'm gonna shut up now
simer190
11:58:10 PM
1/22/04

Well simer, take my advice...keep away from the sluts and stupid dogs (unless you just plan on using one then be careful) and the high maintenance ones aren't much better. Where do you go that there are only 4 girls? That sucks since a big part of college is women. I think you need to transfer somewhere like OSU that has 25,000 women our age, half of which are extremely hot.
Dub

simer,
Just remember that. If you ever go to grad school, pick one with a high female to male ratio.
lumberzac
12:01:04 AM
1/23/04

OU (ohio university) has a superior female to male ratio. I think it's 2-3 girls per 1 guy.
Dub
12:01:54 AM
1/23/04

yeah, i know... that was my biggest regret on choosing this school... you know, the outdoor canoe country college, on the edge of the wilderness. I decided to go to school because someone told me there was chicks there, so i go to this college where guys outnumber girls 25-1 or something like that... i didn't even know what i was going to school for until i got here, i basically closed my eyes and pointed and said yeah, i'll take that.

yeah sure, come on out and visit, maybe i'll set up a TT trip sometime if anybody's interested in comin out to ely, a winter BWCA trip doesn't require any special permits other than self registration
simer190
12:07:28 AM
1/23/04

lol, sounds like what happened to me. That's how i picked my degree as well, lol.

The best women I've dated are the girls in between hot and average who have to work a job to get through school, are far from feminists and being prissy. They understand the value of a dollar and appreciate it when you bring them things (which high maint. chicks kinda throw away). They are kind enough to pick up your room and cook you dinner so long as you are nice to them. And they can look really hot if they want too but not to the point where they always look hot which causes them to flirt with every guy they meet because they know they can have him. Also, the ones that are your friends first make much better girlfriends. This is what Dub has learned about women in his short life.
Dub

I learned a lot about girls in my life... enough to know not to trust them.
simer190
12:09:59 AM

hehe, like i said before: the only woman you can trust is the one your daddy can't.
Dub

can't sleep

Dub is learning very fast.

Simer - you gotta get out more. but sounds like you live in a cool place, just bad for dating. which might really be a good thing at times.
Roam Around
12:12:09 AM

and never make a girl the highest priority in your life, do what you want to do first, and let a girl some second... or third... or somewhere in there, women can't be that important can they?
simer190
12:13:16 AM
1/23/04

You can always find women in other places. How close are you to a big city? You can find them in bars, clubs, coffee shops, grocery stores, churches, and bookstores. Sounds like you're in a place where snow is in abundence...you should be able to find some snow bunnies on the slopes. Go skiing and offer to take one on a snowmobile ride.
Dub
12:14:06 AM
1/23/04

Simer, you've almost got the idea. Your life and family should come first in your life, then your woman somewhere after that. However, make her think she comes first and things will be much better.
Dub
12:15:13 AM

Nice to see you back Roam.
Dub
12:15:28 AM
1/23/04

The key is finding one that likes to do what you like to do, but not all of the time. Alone time is important.
lumberzac

1/23/04

err... this town is the school, i suppose i could go hang out at the high school... eh, nearest "city" is probably 10,000 people, 50 miles away, and without a car... Duluth is about 2 hrs away, that'd probably be the place to find chicks... if i had a car
simer190
12:16:06 AM
1/23/04

When I lived in WV we'd make trips to other cities an hour or two away for nights out on the town. You've probably got a friend with a car, find him and talk him into going chick hunting in the next town every other weekend.

Lumberzac is right, gotta find one with common interests. Opposites to attract but I find those relationships suck.
Dub
12:18:30 AM
1/23/04

yeah, i'm leaning towards common interests... as soon as i can drag a girl along on a backpacking trip at -20, and she enjoys it, then i know I have a keeper
simer190
12:20:23 AM
1/23/04

If you find one. Let me know if she has a sister.
lumberzac
12:22:04 AM
1/23/04

You'll make a mistake if "drag" a girl on a backpacking trip and when she says she likes it you keep her. Women will often like what you like until you've dated for awhile, or as my buddies say, for the first year of your marriage. Then they say, "that was your thing, i'm not interested in it anymore. I want to do my thing."

Find a chick that's already into backpacking in -20. Don't ever drag one into it.
