I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT MEN!!!!!!!

Relationships are not tough. Only the bad ones are. The good ones take some effort...one must PUT the relationship there and take responsibility for it. But effort is worth it, living through hell is not.



I don't really feel sorry for me. Just them. They'll never know how tremendously awesome being part of a relationship is because they never try in the first place.

Right on the money. Good relationships are not tough. The ones that are tough, are bad ones that are not worth the time or effort.

Relationships based on head games never work out, and yup...those are tough relationships. Be honest and relationships based on honesty are not tough...at all.

It's like the BS that life is hard, or...no one gets anywhere without hard work.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. If you think life is hard, it is you that is making it that way. If you think work is hard (and I don't mean physical labor), you are in the wrong line of work. Work that is a labor of love isn't hard at all.

Work, relationships, and life itself are beautiful things that only you make easy or tough.
 
Find yourself a nice blue collar worker, like a construction worker, carpenter, ect. They know what they want and if you hook one of them they will treat you like gold.
Stay away from those preppy geek types or the modern hippie types that are burnt, confused, and have not an ounce of common sense. Find a real person not a phoney and as someone else said earlier, don't try to find MR. Atlas or Fabio.
Your best bet is a regular Joe most of the time. God Bless and Good Luck.
 
No Dis. The point is not that. There is no point. People date because its the ritual peole go through when they want to hook up and have sex. From that point on they determine the varying degrees of compatibility. If you're searching for mister right you're constantly on that horribly contrived "interview" type of situation. First there's sex and physical attraction. Nothing else. Then there's the time inbetween and leading up to sex. Somewhere in there, a guy realizes that hey, I like this chick. I like being around her. That's when feelings start happening for a guy. But if a guy has sex with you and then he sees crazy eyes. He's gonna run for the hills everytime. Even if you disguise your intentions well, you can't hide crazy eyes.

Exactly right. Down with Sundogue and Relic this time. Maki's got it as far as I'm concerned.

Keep looking for mr. right and you'll soon be 60 with a house full of cats. Hasn't life taught you that its when you STOP LOOKING that you find what you're looking for? Thats how its always worked for me, relationships arent any different.
 
Here's the solution:
Just give up on the gals/guys, marry a Bass instead.

1. They will not cheat on you
2. You don't get jealous when someone else plays them
3. They look better without make up
4. Your friends will like them
5. They cost less.
6. When you slap them, they sound better
7. You can have more than one and the others don't get jealous
8. If you call them the other's name, they don't complain
9. You still can produce beautiful things
10. They are less complicated and never lie

+1. Or uh... so I've heard. Wake-n-bake and a nice 3 hour surf session. The best right there.

Nothing like being 60 miles out to sea on the good ship Slugworth and hauling in a 35lb yellowtail while watching the sunrise and the cracking a couple cool ones to celebrate.
I gave up smoking everything years ago...

:eek: Nice. You know that I work as a deckhand on our lifeguard vessel in the summer right? We fish and sometimes for fun we radar ping schools and free dive them with a harpoon gun. Almost died once. Man that was stupid. LOL. About a month ago some yellow tail got caught in a warm current and washed to shore. Got caught in the low tide shallows. :D
