Anela Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I think that's what she is talking about. And what I find ironic, is that I have never met a guy who was doing that, but I have met several early 20's women who were. One wanted somebody that was in some Euro-rock band, another wanted some pretty boy anime character, and another was waiting for Solid Snake. I have no idea who Solid Snake is. That one doesn't sound safe to google. I've been there. It was when I wasn't ready to actually deal with a real guy, so I crushed on a fantasy (although he was a real guy, just not one I knew and had contact with). *edit. Okay, that guy is an anime character.

Okay, that guy is an anime character. ROFL! Solid Snake is not a porn star! Interesting how you said that you were not ready to deal with a real guy so you crushed on a fake one instead. When that happened, how old were you, have you had boyfriends yet, sex?
zengirl Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Old? She's younger than me. Old to be a virgin and it not be talked about ad nauseum in marketing materials, especially since she's had several long R stints. I really was confused as to what the OP means. If it means, "Who'd wait around for a superstar actress when he's just a regular Joe?" then. . . I don't think many people are doing that, because they understand they'll never land Jessica Biel, even if they want her. Which many also do not. If anyone is waiting for anyone, they're in for a rocky ride. If they're waiting for an imaginary person or an imaginary version of a person (which, unless they knew the celeb, that'd be all they had), then they're kind of silly on top of that.
EasyHeart Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I still don't get it. Why would you "wait" for someone you'll never even meet?
Disenchantedly Yours Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 The thing about waiting for some fantasy ideal is that you never know what someone is really like until you date them. So you spend years waiting for that one special hot girl and finally get her - then what? What if she ends up being nuts, or horrible in bed, or a cheater? The best strategy is to go on dates with as many people as possible. Give anyone who you find the least bit attractive a shot. Most of them will not be right for you, but you may just find someone really cool... What if she just ends up being human? She's not even a cheater or horrible in bed. Just human. Even hot girls are human and aren't perfect. It's so easy to hold an over idealized image up and sigh and day dream about it. But when you actually have to deal with a real person, even a hot one, they are still HUMAN. Prone to their own needs, mistakes, life experiences that won't always think just like you. It's easy to relate to fantasy partners because you create a perfect relationship in your head. Even Jessica Alba isn't perfect. The what happens? You are going to be on the quest for a new partner. Because even hot celebrities break up.
joystickd Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Waiting for someone. Oh my! That would be a waste of time when there are plenty of women out here.
Feelsgoodman Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I remember somewhere that guys would wait for their dream girl. Even though personally Jessica is over rated and a mediocre actress and engaged to a complete douche. So why am I being told that waiting is dumb and not worth it? Yet apparently an over rated actress is? Life is too short to "wait" for anyone.
