You could lie like a rug and tell them you were looking for a serious commitment and then leave them at your whim.

Well, if you're going to be damned if you do or damned if you don't, might as well go for the gusto. My experience is that even though women *say* they like honesty, what they really mean to say is that they want guys to tell them what they want to hear as honestly sounding as possible. PLUS, after a while, if you really do actually become evil, women will be beating down your door to go out with you. I mean, even moreso than they are now.

Of course, I just like to hold hands. So, you know, don't mind me.

You know all of those surveys that say that 90% of women look for humor in man more than good looks? They're all filthy rotten lies!

They aren't lining up by any stretch of the term, but they are out there. But I do have an evil friend (he's trying to reform, but he has definitely left a blazing trail of destruction in his wake), and they're lining up to date him while he's at school, and on his current work term in Finland they're lining up to have sex with him (this despite the fact that he has a girlfriend and as such tells them all "no").

What I can't figure out is where to find the ones I'd really be interested in committing to. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about it for another year or so...

Hobbes, of course they're lies. That's just what women say so they can feel good about themselves. Denial and all that.

Yes, still villainous.

I still say the casual stuff helps stave off the urge to jump right into a relationship.

So does Jay Gordon...and the desire to not settle for anything less than everything I want.

Yes, but "casual" for you and "casual" for me don't mean the same thing. I can't do the serial casual thing that you do, because I'm never in one place for long enough.

twinky, I'm as averse to commitment as you are; I'll go on three dates with you. Are you good-looking AND funny?

I think from your posts we can infer which one, mister.

But non-serial casual is okay, too. And can also help.

I think it had to do with killing the Jedi. And political crimes. I think. I need my ginko biloba.

See, I tried that. There was weirdness. I don't regret it, but I don't think it's for me.

..yeah me too but then your hands get sweaty..lol..

I've been too observant, lately. I've a theory that the weirder a boy is the sweeter they are in romance. The more of a jock/prep they are the more they are dating for popularity and things 'after' that. Those 'inexperienced' are so much fun to date as compared to those that 'know the secrets'. By now, I'm used to being a 'first' to some..lol..

Twinky, I'd know alot of ppl who'd love to meet you.

I also know people who abuse the word 'relationships' and 'love'...Too many people actually..

It took me a while, but I finally figured out the difference between lust and love.


I did a lot of playing, and I do mean a lot of playing, before I settled down. I did extra playing for those who went into relationships early.

I've no regrets about any of the playing, but it pales in time and I find myself wanting more. As I'm not one to settle, it gets a little tougher. No big deal, but she has to be something special if she wants me to kiss her or even desire to hold her hand.

I don't think I'd make a very good player.

It took me a lot of soul-searching to sort out lust, infatuation, and love. But it was definitely worth it.

Thanks, Maeth. Unfortunately, I don't know any of them.

Edit:

Why should Cent have any regrets?

Mae's theory about the "weirder" types has more than a little truth to it.

I make a horrible malicious player..I can't lie to people, and I don't like to hurt feelings. Actually, I consider myself one of the abnormally considerate of the player sort. Then again, I'm also becoming more and more motivated by _reactions_...

Yeah, but the "weird" types also have more of a tendency to be the whiny, annoying puppy dogs always tagging along at your heels. Not to say I don't like 'em.... They're just more fragile.

My boyfriend is definitely the wierd, geeky type. I wouldn't have him any other way.

*ssshhhhh don't tell him that though, he thinks he's the hot, lady killer, playa type*


edited to add that wierd & geeky can most definitely be cute and lovable...

"So, I have to be turned on..."


Of course, Mae. And she has to be special. If she's the right one, she'll turn me on just by entering the room.
