Not Dating sucksView Messages“Sniff, sniff, I'm lonely.” 5:51:59 AM 12/25/03 “now here's a thread I can relate to!” 5:55:51 AM 12/25/03 “What are you people doing up before 6 a.m.??? Did ya think Santa arrived??? lol... There ya go: NOT dating sucks... LOL!” 10:03:36 AM 12/25/03 “Me too Ivygal!” 10:03:44 AM 12/25/03 “but look at all the money you all saved by not dating. that has got to be worth SOMETHING!” 10:06:00 AM 12/25/03 “It's funny, but every time I go to a bar and ask the ladies if they want to see my Leki poles, I get slapped.” 10:12:32 AM 12/25/03 “hmmmmm... perhaps POLE*S* is the key word. Ya got TWO??!? eeeeeeeeeek!!!” 10:16:20 AM 12/25/03 “Ummmmm, why do you take your Leki poles to the bar with you? Use them to walk out with? :)” 10:16:41 AM 12/25/03 “is that a leki pole in your pocket or are you just happy....” 10:16:43 AM 12/25/03 “I got Leki poles from Santa ; )” 10:17:37 AM 12/25/03 “bad santa ;)” 10:18:14 AM 12/25/03 “Santa gave his Leki poles away? And YOU got em? Man, you must have really needed em... LOL!!!” 10:18:57 AM 12/25/03 “I've been a good girl, what can I say... ; )” 10:19:37 AM 12/25/03 “how good were you scorchy ;)” 10:22:09 AM 12/25/03 “Well, Scorchy, if ya got both poles then I guess you can't say much and I have to congratulate you. :) Like you tell me, "YOU GO, GIRL!" Now I better stop before Matt kicks me off here.” 10:22:57 AM 12/25/03 “I still say TWO poles it the problem. One guy, two poles.... just not right. Two guys, one pole each... now that sounds more logical. ;-)” 10:24:53 AM 12/25/03 Cost of a date! “Wolfeyes -You have a point. Let's see, my last date required pre-trip auto preparation, in-route auto repair, lodging, gas, oil change, gifts, food and misc. It totaled about $1,250. Well, the date was worth it. But I see I gotta hold my dating down!” 10:26:34 AM 12/25/03 “But, Lizs? What if one is a South pole and one is the North pole? That sounds logical too. No? I mean, one earth, two poles.” 10:26:37 AM 12/25/03 “But I don't want another guy holding my leki pole. That's just wrong.” 10:26:50 AM 12/25/03 “liz, don't rain on lz's parade. What guy wouldn't want two poles?...leki that is ;)” 10:27:13 AM 12/25/03 “Merry Christmas Lizs & Wolfeyes. see you soon wolfeyes” 10:28:32 AM 12/25/03 “See you soon, Ewker! Hopefully, I will be well rested and will behave myself.” 10:30:59 AM 12/25/03 “(This is the 20th time Ewker has wished me "Merry Christmas".... hit the road already, dude!!! LOL!) Thanks, and have a great time during your holiday time off.” 10:31:44 AM 12/25/03 “ok Lizs don't have a merry christmas phhhhhhtttt :(” 10:34:38 AM 12/25/03 “One leaking pole stinks. With two, I'd have to keep covered with a raincoat.” 10:37:47 AM 12/25/03 “One leaking pole stinks. With two, I'd have to keep covered with a raincoat." BoneCrusher 10:37:47 AM 12/25/03 ignore this user -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is one of the ever-more-rare reasons I hang out here. Gotta love the wit!” 11:24:49 AM 12/25/03 “I will be well rested and will behave myself." Wolfeyes 10:30:59 AM 12/25/03 why behave yourself, get wild ;)” 11:27:10 AM 12/25/03 “shake your bon bon” 11:29:21 AM 12/25/03 “I thought that was "moneymaker"...” 11:56:43 AM 12/25/03 “Dating Rocks!! I got a boyfriend for XMAS..woohoo : D Good Santa” 2:00:36 PM 12/25/03 “As we all know.... Sometimes Dating is worse than Not Dating, LOL” 2:05:15 PM 12/25/03 “hmmmmmm... puts out hands in the traditional "weighing of justice" postion..... looking for balance... Which is bett.... err... worse??” 2:18:07 PM 12/25/03 “Datine is better by far. My Old Flame restored my faith in dating.” 2:22:24 PM 12/25/03 “Biased opinion :P” 2:25:03 PM 12/25/03 Let's do the math “weekly Dinner - $40 Movie - $20 Other - $30 Total Weekly - $90 Monthly Flowers - $50 Little Things Purchases - $100 Get-away (every other month) - $200 Total Monthly - $250 Yearly Birthday - $200 Christmas - $200 Misc. Make Her Feel Better Expense - $200 Condoms - $500 Total Yearly - $1,100 Yearly Total Total Weekly = ($90x52) $4,680 Total Monthly = ($250x12) $3,000 Total Yearly = $1,100 Grand Total = $8,780 Being Single, and spending that dough on gear = priceless.” 7:32:34 PM 12/25/03 “Or, maybe I should put that money away in a swiss bank account for a pre-paid divorce program. Hmmmmmm?” 7:34:57 PM 12/25/03 “Cheaper to rent, LOLOL” 7:35:27 PM 12/25/03 “Tilt, that was an outstanding observation. I wonder how much we could save by leasing? I guess we'll have to bring this up at the next HMWH Club Convention.” 7:37:24 PM 12/25/03 “That leasing or rent-to-buy stuff is for the birds... I'm talking 'by the hour'. Did you see The club t-shirt I found? ”7:47:53 PM 12/25/03 “LMAO! Yeah, I saw that, and am very tempted to order one!” 8:00:26 PM 12/25/03 Benefits missing in cost equation! “Buddha Bear - Nice try, but ... Seems to me that recently there was a string showing that sex helps one to live longer. Also, I've found that it induces much better sleep. So, your figures need to be adjusted for the health benefits, as well as some of the social benefits.” 8:15:32 PM 12/25/03 “Ah... but how to quantify? <tsk - tsk - tsk>” 9:05:35 PM 12/25/03 Readjusted Figures “Monthly Sleeping Pill Cost = $25 Young, nubile female nursing care at 60 (with happy ending) - $4,000 per month, less $3,500 Medicare coverage = $500 p/m Yearly total = $6,300 In addition, the opportunity cost of not dating will significantly enhance the cost ratio concerning the sex. Your theory is flawed becuase married folks have less sex than single folks, on average.” 9:06:22 PM 12/25/03 “Somehow I have the feeling that you are resisting. When you meet the right woman your arguments will change.” 9:32:37 PM 12/25/03 “You're right nowslimmer..Loneliness is the pits..Anyway no guy spends that much on me.Even though I am worth it..lol” 10:03:35 PM 12/25/03 Budda Bear “I'd like to see the source of your claim. Runs counter to sociological literature.” 10:55:19 PM 12/25/03 “Soooooooo... don't the gals help pay on dates???! Or have I been foolish all these years??!!?” 11:02:09 PM 12/25/03 “I wouldn't expect my date to help pay for anything. Not on a real "date" date anyway. If it's just friends meeting up to hang out that's different.” 12:06:02 AM 12/26/03 “Droughts of not dating do indeed suck. But BB is dead-on right about the monetary aspects. Dating can get reeeeeeeeeeally pricey. I used to date this one girl who proclaimed herself a feminist and was big-up on women's equal rights and what not.. yet, she never paid for jack when we dated.. never even offered to go dutch once. Talk about trying to have your cake and eat it too..! It mattered little in the end.. I ended up breaking up with her for another girl after 4 months. And the new girl was quite wealthy.” 1:56:18 AM 12/26/03 “That was when your trailname was "Gigolotex".... right? <G>” 3:16:54 AM 12/26/03
