Marriage and the Power of Divorce

The dating world just doesn't really work like that. Going out with someone and getting to know them, that's great. They call that a date.

I guess I meant going out and doing activities with other people in a group - not necessarily 1 on 1; like I've gone to several Porsche Club events lately and met women (haha shutup, I know what the come back will be), I meet a lot of women through work, sports I play, divorced moms who are mothers to my kids friends, etc - I meet lots of people and talk to them/get to know them without dating. If I had interest in one of them, I'd already know a lot about them before asking them out.

Thats all I'm suggesting. I could be out of touch.

Well it's not like that doesn't happen as well. But I wouldn't, for instance, be hanging out with single moms because I don't have children. Also, I don't really want to date a single mom. The difference is there aren't "plenty of single women" at your social events, you only think that because you genuinely aren't in tune with being on the lookout. You know the phrase "Don't shit where you eat"? I work in a building full of nurses. It's not a hospital either, these are nurses who are on our staff to answer calls for all the Medicaid patients who have questions about where they can go for treatment or just to get treatment advice over the phone. About 80 of them. Lots of them are hot, and aside from the fact that we all know nurses are crazy I'd never date any of them simply because I work with them. If I met a woman at my golf club I'd be hesitant to date them as well. The opportunity for that to turn into a disaster and ruin the experience at the club for me is way too high.

I think you have been out of the game for so long you just don't realize how exhausting it can be.

I feel you on this. I made the mistake of banging this girl I met at a running club I had been going to for over a year. At the time, I wasn't really looking for a relationship and I told her that. Hilarity did not ensue and I do not go to that running club anymore... which is a shame because I really liked it. I've followed the don't date where you work/play rule steadfast for years and just one slip up ruined one of the highlights of my week.

Its hard to meet decent women. These days you pretty much have to resort to online dating and play the numbers. Which... you've always had to play the numbers. It's not like that's anything new. The venues are different. And yeah, you do not want to shit where you eat. As tempting as it may be at times and as much as that little voice might be telling you, "Oh...sometimesit works!" It's just real retarded, sir.

Or else you could just admit that you'll die alone, your cat is going to eat your eyeballs first, and just pay for it.

I commend it.

Did you bang yourself out of Rogue?

TJT · Jul 11, 2014

No, I banged myself out of the Austin Beer Runner Club actually! I supplanted it with a Trail Running Club instead. Still fun, I liked the beer dynamic more for a weeknight excerise/fun event. The Trail Running people are a bit more hardcore than I like to be on a weekday afternoon. My best runs are in the early morning.

I get the impression that Khane has a checklist as long as his arm and the girl that meets everything on it doesn't actually exist.

Cool. I used to play dodgeball in the Austin Sports & Social Club a while back. Another good activity + beer arrangement...

what hte fuck wombat, I've got blue balls form that story

Yeah sorry guys, I really wish there could have been a "happy ending" (no pun intended). Even drunk, I just couldn't rationalize banging someone that insulted my family. There was no way I could do it without feeling like some desperate hippocrite. Plus, the problem is when you bang crazy, you're immediately their boyfriend in their mind, and that's just a nightmare not worth dealing with.. Or at least I didn't/don't have the energy to deal with it anymore.

In retrospect, I think that was one of the first times I authentically felt "old". Turning down sex with a 9 due to principles isn't something I ever thought I'd have to experience.

BrutulTM · Jul 11, 2014

You made the right choice. Having sex with a hot chick isn't that much different than having sex with anyone else once you get into it and it would have resulted in 100 times the amount of cuntiness that you had to put up with (she comes off more cunty than crazy in this story IMO). You have the lingerie picture which you can use to tell your friends that you fucked her and showing your friends is the best part about hooking up with a hot girl anyway.

Yeah I never got into the Sports & Social clubs. Mainly because I hate teamsports. Triathlons/Cycling/Running/Swimming have always been my exercise jams.

And I totally would have banged that crazy hot Vet. I also have four sisters and I don't think I would have hesitated for a fraction of a second. Just means I wouldn't feel remotely bad when I never called her crazy ass back.

Cad's version of dating:

Meets girl at party, "Hi, would you like to accompany me on some group events that are not dates? I find you attractive but don't want to jump into dating before I find out if I actually like you, so we will have a chaperon for a few outings that are not dates."

No, actually not that at all. You meet girls at activities you're already doing anyway, that they are also doing anyway. Not invite them to those activities.

What if all you do is play MMOs?

You aren't too old to have saved/share her pic

I'll check to see if I still have the pic somewhere. The current GF is insanely jealous and went absolutely apeshit when she "stumbled" upon my photo collection that was synced from my IPhone. I was obliged to delete everything but I may have it in an old backup.

"might have an old backup"

You either a liar or a complete n00b

No, he's got a pretty good point. Dating people that you already know really does help in filtering out people that might otherwise take you several dates to realize aren't any good for you. You can get to know single members of the opposite sex, prior to trying to fuck them. Getting "set up" by friends can be extremely awkward and sometimes people don't have good judgement in that sort of thing, but it can also work great because hopefully the people matching the couple up know them, know their interests etc. And just the fact that you're running in the same social circles automatically means that you're likely more compatible than two strangers meeting over the internet. But "set ups" aside, meeting someone through friend or a hobby/activity is a pretty good way to go about things. If you're dating online, you either have to be extremely lucky, or go through a lot of chicks, before you're going to stumble across one that's even reasonably compatible for you.

So then you friend up with a couple of them and fuck their friends who do not work with you. Everyone wins!

Why bother lying dude.. I could find any pic of some chic in lingerie on the internet and post it here if I wanted to lie.. The pic wasn't that important to me, is from almost two years ago, and I had a raging GF that was threating my life over keeping it, amongst others.
