GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Once again, define "successful". When you do so, you will get an answer. I don't believe in answering moving target questions. You're the moving target ... not me. Why not define you own "successful", just expand with your opinion, I opened a door for you. You've been willing to offer opinions and freely expand so far. But TBF, if you're not successful, I understand. Just say so. Who knows you might learn something about meeting guys?
Art_Critic Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I understand this ... and I appreciate you candor. BTW - are you getting this ART? You are talking to me like I am a womanless child.. I've been married for 5 years.. lived with at least 5 other women one for 4 years..and have had countless relationships besides the ones that I mentioned.. I am in a relationship now as we speak of 9 months.. I have never had a problem getting women.. ever So I don't need to listen.. my style has always worked for me... I have never asked someone what works.. because I already knew what worked.. I have given my opinion on the calling issue.. if you choose to not listen to it fine.. but remember this... I'll be having sex tonight.. will you ? hahahaha
GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 So Tan is the man, eh? This may be totally rude and inappropriate, but did Tan and SG hit it? It doesn't seem so, so she probably lowered his batting average! Hmmm ... I senced a little 'tricity and sexual tension there. Yep, Tan's the man. When I grow up that's what I wanna be

Eric, stop with the backhanded insults and games. Define "successful" and I will answer your question.
GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 You are talking to me like I am a womanless child.. Oh stop ... I was only referring to your remark that, if she gave the number then she's interested. You gotta admit buddy ... that's just not true Admit that and I'll believe the rest of what you say. I've been married for 5 years.. lived with at least 5 other women one for 4 years..and have had countless relationships besides the ones that I mentioned.. I am in a relationship now as we speak of 9 months.. I have never had a problem getting women.. ever So I don't need to listen.. my style has always worked for me... I have never asked someone what works.. because I already knew what worked.. OK OK - I believe you I'll be having sex tonight.. will you ? hahahaha Yep! Thanks for askin' But just so you know ... I'm still learning ... figuring stuff out.

It doesn't seem so, so she probably lowered his batting average! Well to be clear the .500 batting average is in terms of meeting a girl and getting a number with genuine interest. And, yes, SG's was genuine.
Trialbyfire Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Well Eric/Greg/Shan/Diamond or whomever you want to be today, I'm waiting. Piss or get off the pot. Define "successful".
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Well to be clear the .500 batting average is in terms of meeting a girl and getting a number with genuine interest. And, yes, SG's was genuine. Obviously it was genuine - I offered it to you of my own volition. You didn't even have to ask.
GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Well Eric/Greg/Shan/Diamond or whomever you want to be today, What's that supposed to mean? I'm waiting. Piss or get off the pot. Would you get this way if I didn't call right away? I'd see it as a good sign if you did. Define "successful". OK - "successful" as in "Is your love life really good? Now that you find out what the guy wants and give it to him?" Does that REALLY work for you? I'm not insulting you (not on purpose anyway) But I'm challenging you because I still don't think that "finding out what she wants and giving it to her" will always work (in my experience anyway). I guess I'm saying that I doubt that it really works for you either ... or other women either. Would other women agree with you? Find out what her guy wants and give it to him - Does that really work for other women. I doubt it. Not that simple. It made me wonder about how successful you really are? No offense intended
Trialbyfire Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 OK - "successful" as in "Is your love life really good? Now that you find out what the guy wants and give it to him?" Does that REALLY work for you? Based on this definition, it does REALLY, REALLY work for me. -edit: I should also expand on this and state that many times, both of us want the same thing(s).
doiask42much Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 So...SG and Tan, what happened after that, if I may be so nosy? Sorry if I'm being too inquisitive. Just wondered how many people have found romance on LS. Not that I'm looking for that. GregsBad, I tend to agree. It's not hard to find out what he wants, as men are charmingly simple most of the time, but it's hard to give it to him, as most often what he wants is not what I want and vice versa. Like I joined LS bitching about this very subject, that my bf doesn't want to do things other than sit, watch tv, eat, and have sex. I've been giving that to him, but it hasn't been making me happy. And I want to go out and do stuff, anything at all, and he doesn't. And for him groom himself a bit better. Heh. I know ideally you're supposed to compromise, but it's easier said than done and I definitely end up doing more of what he wants than vice versa, just because I'm the eager to please sort, whereas he has never cared much about what people think of him. I was hoping to figure out whether I could be happy with him the way he is or not, and I guess the jury is still out, though he seems to be making more of an effort now that I have spoken up and encouraged him to resume hobbies that he seems to have discarded.
doiask42much Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 TBF, you're lucky to find men who want the same things. I guess that's where I have been going wrong? I guess for me, I like guys who are the opposite of what I am, as I know I am messed up (but I'm working on it!). I look for someone to balance me out, I guess. So then it usually ends up being that we don't necessarily have a lot in common, which is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes not.

They seem to find me. I'm not certain why.
oppath Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 It's not that I do a seek and find because I don't prowl. They seem to find me. I'm not certain why. they find you because you are hot, smart, and funny as hell .
tanbark813 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 So...SG and Tan, what happened after that, if I may be so nosy? We have yet to see.
Trialbyfire Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 they find you because you are hot, smart, and funny as hell . Awww oppath, that's so kind of you to say. Thanks.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 We have yet to see. He's playing it cool, but he's pretty much smitten.
GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 ... but he's pretty much smitten. I like that attitude ... Yep ... he wants me ... he can't stop thnkin' about me
doiask42much Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Yes, but how does SG feel about Tan? Hm? Okay, I'm getting waaaay too nosy.
tanbark813 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Yes, but how does SG feel about Tan? Hm? I don't like to brag but she wants to have my babies.

I was hoping to figure out whether I could be happy with him the way he is or not, and I guess the jury is still out, though he seems to be making more of an effort now that I have spoken up and encouraged him to resume hobbies that he seems to have discarded. In real life, I don't get far if I tell the truth - up front about what I like. But it's really good if let it out AFTER some time. I love dining (I can afford it), cooking, dancing, candles at home with music, the jacuzzi and my fireplace right there. I prefer to cook, give her foot rubs which turns me on too. Making her squirm in my arms. I write poetry and can easily make her laugh - a lot. But I just don't let on about these things at first. It sounds like BS, wussy patronizing, I think. It doesn't work - not at first anyway - works great later on. What does work - for me. A little cocky, could care less. Early compliments - with an attractive girl - ho-hum goes nowwhere. Instead - Tease her about her stupid Dooney Burke that doesn' go with her shoes. She'll act offended, demand I take it back, I won't. But say "what were you thinking?" You have a brown purse with DB all over it and black shoes. You want me to be honest or not? Then after awhile, I'm like "allowed" to let a few complments trickle thru. Like "I like your pedicure ... I love that little flower on your big toe". But not overdoing it, it doesn't work like it's supposed to. It's a game and I do some pretending. But I don't lie other than game playing. I act like a sort of an a**hole, at first, cause it works. I blame it on women that have to be this way But I love women and it's what I have to do.
GregsBad Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I don't like to brag but she wants to have my babies. Well just look at that face! Why not?
tanbark813 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Well just look at that face! Why not? Thanks, bro.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Well just look at that face! Why not? TB's a hottie, but I didn't think he had the power to turn a straight man gay!
