[Isric]

Every guy has a handful of them: "Why girls suck stories."
2 months of shameless flirting, joking around, and just all around guy/girl stuff, and I finally decided to ask her out. She looks at me and says: "sorry, I just don't think you're what I'm looking for." Alrightly then. What were the 2 months for? Eidunno. Girls bite.

[Chris]

Man, that sounds like a harsh sentence to say, even if she said it in a nice tone.

Sounds like she is picking guys from a grocery aisle or something lol

[Jabberwocky]

We're not all bad... really, but I know a few. I have a friend who's seeing 4 guys right now... 2 are best friends... and they don't know about the others. And I can say the same about guys... last night I went out to the club and three guys hit on me and all they wanted was a quicky... right. And then when I get on messenger all guys want to talk about is sex and my bra size...
But just because there's a few sickos out there doesn't mean they all are.

I have an EXTREMELY simmilar story to Isric's. This girl and I where hanging out on weekends, she flirted a LOT, for at least a month and a half or so. Then OUT OF THE BLUE...I get this e-mail from her, saying how she knows I like her and that she doesn't want that kind of relationship with me. WELL JEEZUZ!! COULDA FOOLED ME GIRL!! Girls do bite. not all, but this one sure did.

------------------

[Chapel]

The last girl I dated did a 180 on me. She actually dumped me 3 times within the same month. That was a record high for me. I didn't understand it. We had a great time together. I never pressured her into doing anything. Every week we got closer and at the end of the week she would dump me. Happened all back to back. One night we are into heavy petting and sharing dreams and stories... next day she doesn't want to be involved with me. Tell ya what though.. you think the first time you get dumped is bad.. the second and third are even worse. Don't ask me why I put up with it. Other forces were in control of me.

[Brain]

I liked a girl once, we got along pretty faboo, good friends and all. She knew I liked her, but instead of telling me straight out that she wasn't interested, she gets together with one of her friends and conspires. This other friend happens to know an old buddy of mine over the net, whom I was still in contact with. So the friend got my old buddy to say that he'd visited my town and met up with the girl I was interested in and had gotten together, hence, I would lose interest due to her now being 'off limits'. My current friends asked about it, and she told them the story aswell. Didn't take me too long to figure out the lie and confront her about it. "Sorry, I just don't feel the same way about you."

Yeah, good way to go about it...

[lotor]

Just be patient and get used to it guys. Most girls are like this all the way through college. Girls don't mature much (not physically gutter minds) from 14 to 23 years of age.

You guys should see "High Fidelity" Great movie about guys top 5 worst breakups. Really funny though.

[Jabberwocky]

I resent that... I've spent three years with the guy I'm with. He wanted seperate lives (space) I gave it to him, but then he wanted to know whom I was with, what I was doing, and were I went... He wanted me to go to the computer gaming place here in town I did... then he gets mad when I was there. He wanted me to come and talk to him about when I have a problem with him and then he got pist when I did... I went through the whole thing when his X-g/f said her kid was his, I was there when he went through 4 job changes (which isn't easy), I was there for him when he called me up... I spent 8 hours one day in a very small room while he fixed a computer...He promised me a promise ring three years ago (still haven't seen it... and over the last three years I lost count how many time he's broken up with me... He now just wants to be "friends"... Yeah we tried that before... started dating again... broke up... just friends... started dating... broke up... etc... see there's guys out there just the same. It's just all confusing...

im too nice to girls, i should treat girls with less respect than i do. im finding girls actualing like being treated like shit...
the more i ignore or lookdown on a female, the more she wants to get in my pants...what the hell is up with that?
and last night i got into a drunken brawl and when it was over 4 hot girls are on top of me running their hands all over my body...my guess is that its all some primal thing...or maybe girls are just plain evil

[lotor]

Jabberwocky why do you put up with it. It shows your lack of maturity by not respecting yourself enough to dump that punk for good.

What do you mean you resent what I said? No offense but you just proved my point by letting this fiasco go on so long.

Go find someone new.

[Chapel]

I don't think it has anything to do with maturity. If you are in love then you will put up with alot of things. I had my head on straight before my the last girl I dated and now I'm so messed up its ridiculous. I hate her for the way she has treated me, but if she called me right now and said lets try it again.. I would probably cave in. I know how jabberwocky feels I guess and it sucks big donkey dick.

[Transcendence]

Keeping the Faith is another movie you shoudl see. Kinda fits a situation I'm in now. 3 best friends - 2 guys, 1 girl. Girl moves, years later, girl comes back into town on a job thing and all hell breaks loose.

I've come to dislike relationships because of my past...I've had the "make ex jealous" reason, slut reason, and overly-honest-yet-pathological-liar-psycho reason..

girls suck.


/edit: I also have noticed how girls seem to like being treated not-so-nicely. I'm exactly what a friend/interest is looking for...she knows I care for her and so forth, but due to our being so close, she could never go out with a friend. There's more to it than that, but that's what it comes down to..

[Ian]

You mean she doesn't want to go out with you BECAUSE you are friends? hmm...that sounds simmilar to the excuse a girl I know made. Seems pretty lame to me.

[Chapel]

So... punch her! Then give her a wink.

[Spitfire]

Who needs girls?

I have my Athlon 900...

[Jabberwocky]

It's so funny I hear the same thing about boys from my female friends...
lotor... It's not maturity... It has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with love. He does love me (he's told his friends who's told me and he's told me) and I love him. It's just we've been together in a serious relationship when we should be learning about ourselves. And now we're trying to find out who we are, and the change is putting some weight on our relationship... I'm heading to college soon out of town and that's putting some strain on us. So I put up with it cause I know we've gone through worse, and just giving up is why there's so many divorces in the world today... "oh we're having a problem. We'll get a divorce..." Just because there's some trouble in a relationship it doesn't mean to give up.

Ian: It's more of the "if we weren't such good friends I wouldnt mind dating[or whatever]"
lol..chapel...no..she's the type you can't do that with

Spitfire: amen. As long as I have my music, computer, and art...I'm a content little geek

Jabber....good job. It's nice seeing someone trying to work things out instead of saying something isnt working just because everything isn't fairytale quality..

[Impaler]

Girls use us as self-esteem training wheels.

They all have one eye on Generic HotGuy with Abs and FastCar.

But they don't have the self-esteem to go and approach aforementioned HotGuy, so they decide that we're "not so bad."

So they flirt with us and we compliment them and assure them that they're really beautiful and smart and Heaven on two legs. And gullible ol' us falls for this and fall in love and think "Wow. This girl actually accepts me for who I am. I love her!" She thinks "Wow. If this guy loves me, then HotGuy should love me too! I was silly all along!"

So she gives you the ol' "You're nice, but you're just not what I'm looking for. I think it'd be best if we were just friends.

And she blows you off and does that little female scamper off to HotGuy and giggles and asks him out, only to find out that he's taken or gay or he flat-out won't go out with her.

So she says "He wasn't so great anyways." and walks back to you, in need of more self-esteem injection. We're still in love, so we gladly and blindly oblige.

*sigh*

Damn. I'm in love with FOUR girls.

Can it get any better/worse?

------------------
My signature is slightly better than yours.

[Transcendence]

My everlasting, currently at 4 years, situation tops that. I could write a novel on it. Atleast 500 pages with new stuff added almost every day. I thought about doing it for personal pleasure [in an emotionally sadistic way], but I'm too lazy.

[Chris]

I don't have a GF right now, for 2 reasons..
1. Don't have any money
-You know what I'm talking about, "Let's go out to dinner", flowers, blah, blah, blah.

2. They are always around
-If you have had a roommate before, you know this can and will get annoying


FaithInChaos: What party were you at? You gotta send me the address lol, god, my town was so small the only parties we had were like 1950's parties.

[Spitfire]

Impaler :

your story gets close to the truth, but you kinda lost me around the part where he's gay and she returns

[Jabberwocky]

Impaler- My X (?) b/f isn't the cutest, doesn't have abs of steal, for god sakes he's a computer tech... but I love him for who he is not what he looks like...
And guys do the same thing... thin, short skirted, sex straved blondes is what guys look for.

Chris- My x (?) b/f was buying me flowers every other day and he was going broke doing so... So I asked him to stop to save himself some money, and when he wanted his space I gave it to him. He wanted to "hang with the boys" I let him... Never asked him where he went, what he did, whom he was with.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

I dont remember having ever seen blonde thin short-skirted girls outside of movies. I must be living on the wrong planet.

[JayBee]

Don't like thin blondes, sex starved or not. There's something about the whole "Blondes are idiots" stereotype that's made them all decided to prove us wrong and be SUPEREVIL and cunning!

Bah.

And Fiona (my other half) doesn't wear short skirts, isn't blonde, and is the cutest girl on the planet

And I miss her cos she lives like 200 miles away

sorry.

...sob!...

Then you guys haven't seen the Freshman class at my school... talk about your Brittney wanna be's... you couldn't fill a thimble with all their brains put together... like totally for sure...
Anyways about the solid men... the abs of steal? Forget that. Like cuddling up to a box of rocks!

My highschool is plagued with the casual bleach-blonde-bimbos. Some are nice though. I do have a thing for short skirts and boots though...

I'm too picky to have a girlfriend..except for the 4 year person. heh. Money is also a problem. I dont even like blondes..I'm more of a brunette and redhead fan Granted, looks do play atleast a small role in things, but I'm more into personality. You could be with the most attractive person on earth, but they'd still be a total bore. Besides, looks dont last forever...

[Brishen]

Man, a girl will not going to go out with you because she actually doesn't want to go out with you, not because you're "too nice" or "such a good friend." That's a lame ploy to "let you down easy." Ha. Girls like nice guys! They really do! The ones who like to be treated like shit were taught that that is what they deserve, or they're... Surrey girls (wait, crap, I live in Surrey!).

Don't get me wrong, yes I am female, but I generally just hate people, so I can say this: girls like nice guys, but some girls are just fucking stupid. There are girls out there who jerk men around. But there are also really nice girls.

The best advice I ever got was "Date a geek." Why? Because the geeks are the nice ones. They haven't had the humanity sucked out of 'em by years spent in the social limelight.

So let me go get my pocket protector, ahyuk.

So treat girls well. (And treat yourself well. People like people who like themselves. Similarly, you are treated just how you project you ought to be treated.) Somehow, someway, someday, you'll cash in all that stockpiled karma.... You may not catch yourself a large-breasted, 5'10" buxom beauty, but you'll sure as hell find a gal you can take home to Ma.

And for the record, I love Britney Spears and I'd wanna touch her boobies.

Kidding.... Kidding.

[shahar2k]

hmm, well if you have a thing for skirts and high boots, I must confess I have a thing for Goth girls, and just any freaks in general. I guess it's cus out of experience I found that the more unusual the person is, the longer they hold my interest in conversation. the more attractive they seem to me. I dunno maybe I'm just a freak that way, but I prefer to be able to talk about philosophies, and technical things, (and games ) with a girl than to be able to say that she looks hot, infact I'd even go as far as saying that my visual perception of a girl will depend more on her mind than her looks....

as for girls just being stupid, and unpredicteable, well... guys, look around you, if you'r a geek, than you know that non geeks aren't the most... open people around, and frankly, unless you really don't have much experience with girls (at least at your 20's) much less BEING a girl, to try and predict them, this goes the same for girls, guys are diffrent, deal with it. what can I say, buckle up get ready for a ride, and if you've figured the other gender out, I'm betting your life is pretty boring.

I'm just having fun with life for now.
