He better add in the gun shot or glass breaking sound for each letter that appears on the slide.

It would make you look like such a loser for putting that much effort into the breakup. All he has to do is call her or go see her and say it's over. This is childish and a petty.

LMFAO!!! Omg, EPIC! I especially loved the graph that shows the amount of effort put into the relationship by each person. :lmao: I almost cried laughing so hard. Thanks! I was having a really crappy day and you've made me feel better, lol. I know break-ups are not funny, I'm going through one right now myself but I think the key to getting past struggles life is to find what little humor you can in those experiences.

He would only be showing it to her. Doing it infront of a crowd would be incredibly mean and I doubt she would like that one bit.

Yeah, on the other hand, she's really going to be impressed with the Powerpoint...

 

Seriously who would break up with someone infront of a crowd and provide snacks lol?

I think the thing you are (he is...) missing is: Seriously, who would break up with someone using a Powerpoint presentation, lol?

 

I honestly don't think you guys quite understand how this will work. He is just going to provide a few graphs etc to explain why they broke up. Also some clip art etc to help make her feel better. I think it sounds like quite a nice idea to be honest.

I'm starting to get a sense of why they are breaking up: he has NO SENSE AT ALL how a woman's mind works. Not that any of us men have a total handle on that, but jeez, is he not able to see that he's driving a car full speed into a concrete wall here?

 

He's breaking up with her, and clip art is going to make her feel better? Bwaaaahahahahahah!!!!!

Yeah - I was going to cry "troll", but at least it's humorous....

I'll talk to him tonight and tell him that I've talked it over with some people and they think it's a bad idea. Thanks everyone. Honestly though I still don't see the harm in it. I think she would appreciate the gesture. She would also appreciate to see that he cares about her enough to put in the effort. It also makes explaining some of the reasons alot easier. The reasons for them breaking up are quite confusing and I think some graphs etc will help. I still think he is pretty set on the idea and has already started working on it. It just means that she can clearly understand the reasons rather than being left wondering. I think he is going to give her a copy of it also so she can look back on it later and have a clear idea.

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but have you actually ever met any of these... um... women?

Look, I really don't want to press down the throttle when a train crash is coming, but please, please, please, you have to promise to come back and let us know how this turns out, OK?

So my friend has been with his gf for about 2 and a half years. He say's that he thinks it's time him and his gf break up but he wants to do it in a special way. He thinks that a powerpoint presentation might be the way to go. What do you guys think of this? Anyone got any stories on being broken up with or breaking up with people through powerpint.

 

Is this a joke? Does your friend have no balls?

 

2 and a half years and he wants to end it in a cruel way? How is it possible to break up with someone in a special way? WTF.

I had a talk to him last night with some of the guys about it. We all unanimously agreed it was a good idea so it looks like it's all go. He is still working on it but should be doing it soon. I will update you all on how it goes as it should be in the next few days. Might even post it up up if he let's me. I still think she will like it.

What a foolish idea.

One day someone will humiliate him as much as he is going to humiliate her by doing this.

Actually, I think you'll find Ricky Gervaise is The Man. Michael Scott is just a poor transatlantic imitation.

 

Which is why it would be much better to give her an original break-up, as opposed to some tacky attempt to be clever. Which fails.

 

 

Ah yes, David Brent. It's a shame they stopped the UK version so early on. It was so much more uncomfortable to watch :p

Sorry, whatever credibility you had is slipping away... How old are you guys?

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

I lurk on these forums, and this is one of the funniest threads I've read in a good while. I don't mean to sound insensitive, because if this is real then there is going to be some very unfortunate young lady on the business end of this. But wow... If he really goes through with this and then gives her the file for future reference, he is unfathomably bold.

 

Truthfully, I hope it does happen, because... it seems so logical! :laugh:

This is the greatest idea I have ever heard. Kudos

Have you tried giving a powerpoint presentation to your GF to tell her why you'd like a liberal attitude to sexual freedom?

 

That might be an idea.

 

clinical, analytical, logical, to the point, graphically illustrated, and sequentially indisputable.

 

Wonder how she'd go for that......

All of us are low 20's. Look, we understand that this isn't the normal route for breaking up with someone. But what is life without risk? The presentation will be nice and I think she will like it. She will obviously be sad about the breakup. However, the fact he has put all this effort into being nice about it is something she should appreciate. Anyway he is going to see her in the weekend and will be showing it to her then. From what I've seen of it it's pretty good.

Yes, it looks good because you're all in your low 20's. You assume she'll appreciate it, but I think she'll just think he's a jerk.

And the reason we all know it's a really bad idea, is because we're not in our early 20's any more.

we have the benefit of hindsight.

 

experience tells us that whilst this may look brilliant on paper, actually putting the theory into practice is fraught with problems. it's an emotional minefield.

Rather like this PP presentation, in fact.....

I suspect it will all look great on paper.

It's all very clear-cut, precise, analytical and carefully evaluated.

Emotions, however, rarely result in such neatly-clipped responses.....

Has he factored that bit in....?

OMG, really?

 

What types of retirement benefits will she be receiving? Aside from not having the pleasure of such a technical guy around?

 

Will there be some sort of golden parachute for her running this company into the ground? Or for him choosing to dissolve the partnership? Are the bail-out benefits clearly outlined for both parties?

 

Has your friend run the cost/benefit analysis of this endeavour?

 

I suspect she should counter-power point. With bolder graphics and louder more personal sound effects that explain perhaps more then he would like to know.

 

I can understand analyzing information. Notes, spread sheets, or I guess a PP presentation. However, if the delivery has to be technical then maybe that is/was part of the problem?

Wait,

 

Now I'm into this idea.

 

As for her counter power point she should include a bar graph of all of her ex's penis sizes and show where exactly he measures up.

 

Both length and girth should be noted. As well as freaky x factor.

 

I mean he might find that helpful as well, correct? Since we are all being "nice"?

 

Coupled with a pie graph indicating the attention given to his power point break up compilation versus the time he could have spent repairing their relationship.

 

Oh yes I give this idea 5 stars. 5 star bad ideas.

 

Excellent thread.

See, I'm not even sure it looks so good on paper.... ;)

Ok, at this point, I feel a little guilty, because this has definitely become like going to the car races kinda secretly hoping to see a good crash, but I'm only saying outright what others are thinking: please, you have to let us know how this turns out...

 

( I'm still holding out the possibility that SD123 is a sock puppet for Goldpile. )

You see if I was a female being presented with this information, the most logical thing for me to do would be kicking the guy's scrotum so hard he coughed up his own balls, and then walking out of the room 1/5th of the way in. Time wasted.
