25 is nothing dude, just go to places with younger women! :lol

I know, 25 is still young lol
I've got some friends in their early 30s though (33) that are starting to feel like they've missed their window though.

I never really thought about settling down, kids or any of that shit.
Then I met someone that wanted it last year, and a small part of the reason that we split up might have been because I didn't want those things and she realised that long term we prob wouldn't work (there were probably lots of other reasons why we broke up though).

Anyway, shortly after we broke up I began to think that actually maybe I would like those things one day, and then I started thinking 'shit, maybe I'd better start looking now?'
Unless I wanna be like some of my older friends that are in their 30s and still single.

First the mullet thing now this bullshit...You're on a roll. Please, by all means, don't stop.

Seriously. Either make it clear you're joking or stop giving terrible advice

Seriously?

It's absolutely true.

Obviously, you don't know a lot of these folks, but I went to a school where a lot of the kids had missionary parents.

They all got married before 21.

I understand that you're not familiar with this lifestyle, but your ignorance about it does not mean it's not true.

Well I think we can both agree that your experience, like anyone else's (including mine), is primarily anecdotal, and should be taken worth a grain of salt.

Curious...where do you live?

jamesinclair guy doesn't seem to be posting anything offensive but you're getting offended. You should do some reflecting it seems. Lighten up.

Come on, this dude is implying that people should grow mullets, or some kind of long hair (to their asses even) and pick up Jesus freaks. Oh...alright....that's perfectly sound and applicable advice...

Offensive? No. Questionable and kind of odd? Yes. I'm not mad at all, just kind of perplexed at what he's posting. But hey, if that's what gets him girls and gets him laid, awesome. more power to him. However, I have my doubts. My methods are vastly different, yet seem to work considerably well. I fully understand there is a bit of anecote to personal experience. What works for me, won't necessarily work for others.

Remember, this is the same dude who told us that we don't know what we're talking about, yet nothing significant happened on his date. It was a normal ass, run-of-the-mill outing. It's not like he got any tail. He was pretty quick to talk shit, when no one was being hostile. So if anyone is upset, or defensive, it's him. At least for me, any shit talking is purely in jest and not meant to be personal. We're all grown ass men here right? We can take a few jokes now and then.

Anyway, I don't want it going further than this. Quite frankly, I don't give a shit. I said what I said and that's that. Nothing more.

 

[jamesinclair]

I never said to pick up religious chicks, I was talking about why they get married young. I would not date a highly religious person.

Also, I've moved around my whole life. Mexico, Connecticut, Brazil, Massachusetts, California, Venezuela, Puerto Rico....and more. So I've gotten exposed to a whole mix of people and cultures.

I don't see Pennsylvania in there. You're good in my book

And yeah, in my experience, girls from Arizona are much different than girls here in Jersey :lol

 

[The Shadow]

When I was in my early teenage years I was inexperienced and it def hurt more because I thought I may have lost the 'one', but then you turn 18, go to college or whatever, and realise that there are loads of women about and you can easily move on...

Then you hit late 20s/early 30s and realise that lots of the 'good' girls are now taken...
Sure you can try and and bounce around different women like you did in college but that starts to feel empty, plus you're maybe not as young and good looking as you were 10 years ago - maybe time is running out?

I'm only 25 so I'm not quite at this stage yet, but I have single friends that are older than me and can see this happening to them at the moment :lol
I prob shouldn't laugh because there's a possibility that I'll be there in a few years!

Here's the thing though, it can always seem like the "good girls" are taken if you have the mindset that someone needs to be in a relationship to be worthwhile. It's just an attitude but not supported by evidence. There's plenty of single girls out there that aren't taken.

But I will tell you one thing, there are people in their late 20's and early thirties that are still single and flatly refuse to settle down. They may bitch and moan about the opposite sex and how they can't find a "good one" but I tend to believe it's all them. I know a lot of single girls that are like that and a few guys. Despite the fact that they're constantly blaming the opposite sex, I can't help but feel it's them. There's something about them that flatly refuses to grow up.

So yeah, don't think that's typical behavior. It's very common for people to get married in their twenties but there's no requirement that you have to meet someone within a short window there in order to avoid being alone forever.

Yeah, little over 4 months. I wonder if I spent a little much, but she also got me a gift (and one for my mom actually) when she came back from Africa (why this gift is great, she loves Africa) so whatever. Besides, the store gave me a 20 billion dollar bill

Believe it or not, what he says is true for some groups. Here in Alberta, they sometimes call Bible School "Bridal School" for the simple reason that like minded people go there to find wives/husbands.

He's also right about the mullet thing, but only if the guy has awesome hair

 

[Acid08]

Spent some Christmas money on acid today and had a nice little time with my friends in SF. One of the things I realized tonight was something about the relationship between men and women. Men want a girl because they can squeeze them. Nothing is better than holding a girl(or guy to be fair) that they can hold close and squeeze and the same feeling will be reciprocated. It is one of the greater pleasures in life. Anyway, this is what I was thinking about tonight. I want a squeeze all of my own.

Peace out everyone <3

Several of the hard core religious people I know in their early 20s/late teens are married to or engaged to their first boyfriend/girlfriend (some with very quick "dating->engagement->married" times too (like ~4 months)). So you might say it is BS, but marrying young in religious circles to escape hell still exists :lol

So I was going out with this girl and some of my friends last night. She was off from work nearby and went to where I was with drinking buddies. She told me she was going elsewhere to drink. I just said go ahead, not giving much a shit. She owes me three rounds of beer and she said she was gonna repay them later. Then she patted my right thigh three times very close to the dick and left.

What the fuck am I supposed to think about this situation :lol :lol

You should take her name. Then grab her ass and see if she really intends to live up to the understated promise.

 

[farnham]

Honest question...

Aside from obvious tax benefits....

Why do people still insist on getting married?!?!

there are people that like to have kids

and to be honest its better for the kid to be raised in a family with parents due to various reasons (financial problems, single moms or dads still disregarded in some parts of the world for example)

Man I just broke up with my GF of the last 10 months, or should I say we broke up. Your post is depressing as hell to me cuz I miss this so much. We just got back from a trip to the Caribbean and a month later we are done and apparently she really hates me.

Fuck I miss her already. She was really awesome in so many ways but there was always the nagging voice in my head that she wasn't the one. But it sure as hell was nice being with her. When she wasn't driving me crazy. I am so not looking forward to being alone. I did my best but it seems like it could never be enough.


.... Forever alone

Don't rush it. Girls want to settle down early, but men have more margin. You'll be more of a "man" as you get older, so it will still be easy for you to find a good girl regardless of your age, as long as you do something with your life. My father had me in his early 40s, my mother was in her late 20s. He was in top shape (still is today for his age) and quite smart.

I'm 28, but I'm not gonna settle down soon. My life has played out in slow motion, so i'm behind my age as far as life goes, but since I look younger than I am I'm feeling like I got a bit of a second chance. There are various things I want to do first, such as travel more, buy a house, etc., before I meet a girl I'll spend the rest of my life with. And I'm thinking that by then I'll be more mature, have more life experience, more financial stability, etc., to make the right choice when it comes to a woman that would become my wife, and raise the kid(s) better than I could in my 20s.

Its a terrible feeling and no one should go through that.

Okay, so I have a female friend. Her boyfriend left for a cruise over christmas for about a week. Ever since he left she's been constantly talking to me on facebook chat. I used to never really talk to her, as she's mostly an acquaintance. I don't get it. And I would say it's just friendly, and it probably is, but she's constantly starting a chat with me. This doesn't happen with anyone else.

only spend 20-30 minutes at the bookstore. After that, if you think she'll agree, suggest you go to your/her place. If you don't think that will fly, suggest you go to another place in the area. Rinse, and repeat

Fuck dude, this is too true. In fact, it is something that I started realizing for myself, but you just spelled it out for me.
There is this one girl that I have known for a little bit and has got me feeling all blue cause of this. We were at my place with another dude and we toked up in my house. Right after she started getting all cuddly with me as we watched a movie. It was the greatest feeling just having her lie on me and hold my hand.
My friend got the idea and left pretty early, leaving us alone. She wouldn't let me kiss her or anything like that, kept teasing me, so we ended up just cuddling for a bit longer before she had to leave.
Anyways, long story short, thoughts of this girl are killing my game. I went clubbing yesterday and couldn't keep my mind off her. I just kept thinking how much I wanted to be with her. I hate this feeling and I hope that it passes soon. Its only been like two days since, so I'm assuming my brain will slowly start avoiding those thoughts. Fucking one-itis.

So I have a date with a girl on Thursday. We're going rock climbing. She hinted that she really wants to go to the movies too... I'd rather go to dinner. Would it be weird going from rock climbing to the movies? I'd imagine we'd be hungry and not many chances to talk at the movies..

You can always go to dinner after the movie, which is better than going to the movies after the dinner. That way you get a bit of down, then go eat in the most face-to-face moment of the day and have stuff to talk about. It's a great way to end the day really. Best scenario, you then end up at either one's place.

I'm getting annoyed that just about every girl I meet randomly and hit it off with just happens to have a boyfriend. I'd be willing to believe they were lying to get rid of me if I was a creeper but that isn't the case.

Personally, I preach that its easier to score when all you have to deal with is the goalkeeper (boyfriend) but this shit is getting a little nuts.

You aren't a creeper but you intentionally go for girls who are already taken because you find it is easier to have sex with them?

There's a reason James Bond doesn't bother with single women (the married women are likely looking for something new, and they won't waste their time playing games since they only have a small window of opportunity to get laid before the rooster comes back).

OK so my family is very close friends with another family. my mother and sister encouraged me to give a call to the middle of the other family's three daughters, said she liked me, etc. i did, so she came out for a blizzard drinkathon last night. fit college girl who takes care of herself real well

so at the end of the night we started to go at it back at her place, but it stopped before the smang. she went to bed and i went out to keep drinking.

now my sister is prying and this chick is ringing me up bc she is leaving the country for two months in a few days. i do not want a gf, or attachment of any kind.

QUESTION: are the potential awkward family moments of the future, whether it is from the girl, her family, or my sister, worth a couple of nights of fun?

i am not sure
