Arabella Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 ROFL... :D:D This has got to be the funniest thing I have heard in a long time!! :D:D ROFL... Keep it real... Lol, you know what's funny? My story is posted all over the boards. It's so real, it's actually sad. My last ex was a broke college student, mentally ill, who had been involved in drug abuse (pills) and weed prior to meeting me and eventually fell into it again during our relationship. The depression he sunk into as a result of his abuse was the eventual cause for our break up. So, maybe, just maybe... some of us are actually honest when we say that we know what we want... and it isn't money. Arabella
Ilovehim Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 also i don't think you should take it so personal. i understand that many of us like/dislike certain things about others. i know guys who wouldn't even want to date a girl who goes to clubs alot. i dont club alot but sometimes i do like to go. i dont take it personal because thats their opinion. yes if i liked a guy and he turned me down because i went clubbing "once in 4 months" i would feel dissapointed but at the end of the day i wouldnt want to date him either..what is one of my favorite quotes "find someone who knows all your flaws, mistakes and differences and loves you anyway." seriously lets drop this subject, its blown out of proportion.
Arabella Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Well I am sorry about your ex but you should know who you get involved with better before doing so. And I highly doubt smoking weed was the cause of his depression. It was probably the one thing that kept him sane through it all. He admitted that smoking weed and being permanently stoned caused him to flunk a WHOLE YEAR of college and had bowed to do better. I knew who I was getting involved with, I knew about the mental illnesses, the prior substance abuse, etc. He was an incredible person back then and I didn't care about any of what he had done in the past. He became depressed primarily because he was not being medicated (he was bipolar), then he stopped giving a damn about anything (including school and me) and began smoking pot again... and things crashed and burned shortly thereafter. Some of us have bad first-hand experiences that make us feel entitled to have the opinions that we have in regards to weed. Don't forget... drugs of any kind affect people very differently depending on their own individual brain chemistry and what other issues they have going on. Arabella
Ilovehim Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I feel ya, just don't get why it is such a big deal to some people. Then you ask them why and they don't even know or they respond with a list of myths. i am talking from personal experience. i havent done drugs but someone very close to me has and it is a very sad story to see how much drugs can change someone's life for the worst. i'm not here to bash you or say that you are not a good guy because i don't know you. but all i can say is that my experiences with people who did weed and other drugs has not been pleasant. i havent met someone who only did weed once in a while so i wont speak about that and though it would be nice to have everyone agree with our opinions, it doesn't work that way. we can agree to disagree and hold an argument without taking it personal or offending anyone.
Arabella Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Famous last words of an ill person. Blame everything and everyone but yourself. The weed MADE him flunk college. He couldn't have ever sat down, smoked a joint and learned something cool - the WEED just wouldn't let him do it. Some people aren't strong enough to handle stuff. Survival of the fittest, I suppose. Well, the fact is that prior to smoking weed he was doing fine. Then he got a roommate who was a drug dealer and he had perpetual access to the stuff and started abusing it. I'm not saying smoking a joint twice a week is going to ruin anyone's lives, but being perpetually stoned can and often does. Arabella
Arabella Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 And you base this on the one personal experience you've had. So now all people who smoke weed fall into this category in your mind. I personally befriended 2 successful business owners, a lawyer, an Electrical Engineer and a college professor who smokes weed. So according to your rationality, I should think that people who enjoy weed are more intelligent, creative and loyal than others. Hardly. What I'm saying is that I've seen what weed can do. It doesn't mean that it will do this to everyone... but it does have the potential for it. I used to smoke weed when I was a teen and I just stopped because I didn't like how it made me feel. The key is in self-regulation. If you can do what you do and be successful stoned... more power to you. Many people cannot, and I'm not willing to risk it. Arabella
Ilovehim Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I feel ya. I am not a big advocate of drug use. But you must understand that this statement is a lie. This is bull%&** If you have ever drank alcohol, you have taken a very POWERFUL substance. Many have died and ruined families because of alcohol, and you can very EASILY argue that it is more detrimental than WEED. Alcohol has NO medicinal use - no one has ever died from weed overdose. Think about what you are saying. i don't recall saying alcohol is good for you but i do admitt that yes i do drink alcohol sometimes but i dont abuse it however. im not saying im perfect and im very aware that there are some guys who wouldnt want to date me if im going to drink even occasionally and i dont care because its simply their choice. weed is not as bad as other drugs but it still can be harmful and so can be alcohol. i never said alcohol is good for you, i just simply admitted that i do drink at times.
Woggle Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Not all women have a problem with weed. Both my wife and I like to toke up and have tried other things on occasion and we are both successful and productive people. The Nancy Reagan just say no crap has a lot of people brainwashed.
doushenka Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I can be the greatest husband or boyfriend. I can be a great provider, listener and lover. I can be a good father and family man. From the way you're behaving here: Yeah, right, and I bet you've got a bridge in Brooklyn you'd like to sell me. Hint: if you want people to think better of pot smokers, don't joke about killing prostitutes, don't call grown women "girls" for disagreeing with you, and since you're single and I'm not, please don't condescend to me by telling me I might find someone to love once I lose whatever attitude you don't like. A toke on a Sunday afternoon? I could handle that if it didn't get out of hand. Rampant misogyny coupled with a violent streak wider than my grandmother's dainties? Yeah, not so much.
aerogurl87 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Total bull#$^!!! once you got a glance of his car and his money, you'd forget all about your "important/petty" convictions. So now you believe ALL women are gold diggers? Wow, somebody needs to get out more. And by the way, I dated a guy with a nice condo right on the beach in Florida, had a sweet ride, and spent a grand on me on one night while out clubbing. But the idiot was on his blackberry the whole time we were out at dinner together and guess what happened to him. He got kicked to the curb! Money isn't everything and it sure as hell can't buy my heart, or common courtesy for that part.
doushenka Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Oh great woman in a relationship, I bow down to you. How superior you must feel since you have chosen to breed at this time. Breed? No, thanks. If anything, I long for the day when the doctor wakes me in the recovery room and says, "Congratulations, D. You're barren." People look at me like I'm, um, high.
bac Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 More specific - what are the things that REALLY impress you? good looks - easy to find good sex drive - easy to find openness - rare to find has some money - rare to find knowledge
zetkin Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I have found that most women like humor. Make a girl laugh and you have an inside track to their heart. Totally agree - for me humor is number one
likestolaugh Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 my goodness... ShamWOW... smoke weed all you want. I don't think anyone here thinks you shouldn't. I'm a guy, and personally I wouldn't want my gf smoking weed a lot. I don't like the smell, nor the personality changes that result during it. just personal preference. I don't disrespect someone if they do it, so stop trying to get insulted and defensive if weed isn't something that everybody wants to be with.
tigereyes1428 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 what i really dont get is the fact its non addictive supposedly yet people such as yourselves seem happy to give up relationships with people who wont accept your habit - as for your reference that weed helped you from a business perspective by clearing your mind..... would you not like to be able to do that without the use of any drug or alcohol? your stuck in your ways and stating loud and clear that you will always put weed before any future partners and the have to like it or lump it - that selfish uncompromising attitude may actually be the dealbreaker for people and not the actual weed - whilst i agree people should not try to change people sometimes you need to change bits to allow a relationship to grow and flourish - everyone had their priorities and their opinions - and this is just mine - i hope that i have not offended you in any way - i am just giving me opinion as asked - take care..
tkgirl Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Then you are just as much or MORE of a druggie than me. I don't date druggies. Ewww. Cooties. See where I am going with this? no.. enlighten us shamwow... you like to get high and you get way annoyed with people that don't share your POV on pot? seriously, you need to chill bro... maybe a bong hit would help? c'mon... you've taken this thread way off topic... enough already!
