I always thought of homely as being more plain-jane than downright uggo.

Fair enough. We can agree it would mean she's not attractive, right? I'm guessing he was trying to say she's good at keeping house rather than his wife is a 5 or below.

Hatorade · Aug 22, 2014

Maybe an auto correct from comely? Then again people haven't used that word for decades.

Said it before, will say it again:
They are out there.
I met my wife when I was almost 36, she was 33. She had one relationship that ended on her 20th birthday. One guy, nothing else past that. She's as homely as they get, a great mother to our kid, and full of love. She's also taking care of herself, not obese, has straight teeth, holds a full time job that is paying ok, has no debt besides what we picked up together for the house, and is not mentally fucked up.

Really the worst gripe I have about her is that she doesn't screw the caps on the water bottles fully closed so if you ever knock one over (not unlikely with a 2-year old around) it ends up in a wet floor.

So yeah they exist.

Guarantee she rode the cock carousel in her 20's and lied to you about her past. Unicorns, even homely Unicorns, don't exist.

Caeden · Aug 22, 2014

Yep. It's just about how many horses were on the carousel. I think 5 is the lowest I've heard from a mid-30's gal and not even sure I bought that.

Caeden · Aug 22, 2014

Though my ex wife only technically rode one until 31. She was my HS sweetheart and we married after college. Popped her cherry and everything. That said, she kept falling down and getting dicks stuck in her mouth hence the ex part.

I'll never forget that convo: "it's not cheating if it's kissing or oral"

God she had shitty friends. Soon as I moved out that carousel went full speed ahead. Godspeed to her new husband and his blind ass letting a guy I know nailed her daily after she and I split give her a ride home from the bar. Dirty bitch.

Multiply by three for the truth.

Last woman I dated was to me an 8. Great body, good face, nice smile. They're all screwed up in some way but you just have to decide if that's the kind of screwed up
you can deal with. She was a complete nag though in terms of trying to get me to improve my career, which I actually did, but was resentful at the time for the pressure.
Biggest problem though was that she haddyspareunia. Yeah, she didn't mention the symptoms until after 9 months of dating and we tried to do therapy, kind of
half-assed though.

"Marry a ugly woman", my grandfather once said, "if you want to be happy."
Considering that all women are eventually going to whither and loose all that beauty of youth... maybe he wasn't wrong.

Post Wall Feminist "Bored" by Her Options After 30.

The tech boom in Seattle is bringing in droves of successful, straight single guys -- all of them insufferable

I sat across from him and listened. He was trim, tall, bearded (as they all seem to be), a recent transplant, having only lived in Seattle for a year or so and worked at a start-up, after burning out at Amazon (as they all seem to have). He rode his bike around town; he had good taste in food and wine; and he lived across the street from where we were meeting. He was a software engineer or did something in tech (as they all did). And he was utterly unmemorable.

In a way they exhibit some of the same qualities of those professions-ego, arrogance, and unlimited amounts of cash. In San Francisco, said Violet, "There were a lot of men to date with disposable income who wanted to take women out. It's just, it was so boring," she said. "My dating life went from dating artists and writers and going on cheap but exciting dates, to men who thought the ability to buy someone an expensive meal made them interesting."

Don't quote that shit. It made me despair for the human species when I first read it a couple of months ago. All I took from it is she was going on dates with nerds when she only likes tattooed hipsters. It is no more a commentary on dating in Seattle than a comment on some self-important person who can't admit to herself she was going against her own preferences.

As for the point at hand, there are no rules for this shit. Some women are down to make arrangements to meet quick, some drag it out and then don't feel a connection because the spontaneity has been crushed out of things. Behind all that you always have to remember that she maybe just wasn't that into you after all.

Himeo · Aug 22, 2014

I think it's a wonderful example of the pretzels women bake in their heads to rationalize the awful decisions they make. Feeeeeeeeeelings > logic.

Speaking of twisted female behavior:

Women admit to regular lies

Nearly one in four British women would try to conceive without their partner's consent if they wanted a baby, research suggests.
A survey by women's magazine That's Life!, found that many women are prepared to lie about almost any aspect of their life.

The Scruples and Lies survey was based on interviews with 5,000 women. It found that 94% confessed to telling fibs, with 48% lying on a daily basis.

The vast majority (84%) said they could lie with a clear conscience - many said deceit was justified as a way of sparing other people's feelings.

Toned down the sexualness of my messages, seems to be working better, I've got different things set up with 3 different girls this week and 2 more that I'm texting. Thanks for the advice.

This. My gf does the same and i just dont get it. Everything is left open.
Besides that, my guess would be that with homely he means that his wife is done with partying all weekend long and enjoys staying home with him / the kid.

From that article

"When everyone is exactly the same, you don't get exposed to different worlds the way you would if you met someone who was a metalworker or a sculptural artist, or an actor, or an industrial designer, or a university professor. Books they read, plays they go to (or star in), people they know, parties they go to-these things are hopefully different than, but complementary to, your own world. The hope is, you'll learn something interesting, and vice versa. When I went to Paris, I went on OKCupid dates with several men as a way to see the city and perhaps have a romantic excursion; one worked at a movie production studio, another was a video editor; one guy worked in finance; another was an interior designer. Each one was thoroughly different than the other."

Fuck you. You visited a foreign country and went on a dating site to get free food and have a travel guide. You go through life wanting other people to show you cool and or exciting things (to you) without giving anything back other than having a pussy. The point of dating is to find someone to date. Not to learn things from and vice versa. Die you stupid cunt.

Probably. I've met a few with low numbers I actually believe. A non-clueless guy will know. Unless she's like 19, when she says she never has done a one night stand she's probably lying 95% of the time. Made up statistic but yeah.

Can't say I fully agree with him, but there's something to passing on the 8-10 range and settling down with a 7-7.5.

Ultimately you're right. Find the crazy that works for you.

I have refused to message a single woman over the age of 30. Personally, I think that's a good "rule" to go by. If a woman didn't think I was good enough for her when she was getting gangbanged by 12 black dudes in a sorority, and the type of woman that rejected going with me to prom because I wasn't "cool" enough, she isn't good enough to get 50% of my retirement. And even anything close to 30 still makes me very leery. Unless she's still hot and I can find evidence that her mom is still hot at 50+, I'm just not interested. It's pretty scary how fast the decline is for most women between 28 and 32.

Oh god, I've become the stereotypical "jaded former nice guy" THANKS WOMEN.

Famm · Aug 23, 2014

Well its good to have standards. Personally, my standards include no transsexual hookers, but hey if "under 30 only" works better for you that's cool too.

Jesus, I hope you don't let all that old, high school resentment bleed into your personal life.

You should seriously see a psychologist and get some professional help man. You have some deep seeded issues with women.
