This guy apparently researched it, then fucked up the application or it didnt even apply at all. As you mentioned each situation is unique.

billvon 3,016 #92 July 15, 2010 >It's not that I want to be rich it's about having a good life. Sounds like you equate "having a good life" to having money - which may be what's turning off some people. (The attitude "we need X money for us to work well together.")

billvon 3,016 #93 July 15, 2010 True (secondhand) story - Talked to a friend of mine a while back. "I hate men," she said. "OK, what happened?" "Well, I was seeing this guy last week and . . ." She had met this guy at the gym and he'd come over to her place. Things were sort of awkward; no fooling around, not too much mutual attraction. So he left. "Doesn't sound like that much of a problem," I said. "Well, he called me the next day and said he wanted to see me. So I said OK. He drove over and asked if I would come down to his car for a minute." She then began a story in which she walked down to his car in bare feet with only her housekeys. He drove her to his house over her protestations. They went to his place, where he did a lot of cocaine and started watching porn. She wanted nothing to do with either. "So you left then, right?" I asked. "Well, I didn't have any shoes on or my cellphone so what was I going to do?" she answered. The story then continued. He wanted to have sex with her; she refused. So he called his old girlfriend. She came over and they had sex in the bedroom. "So you left then, right? Right?" I asked. "No, haven't you been listening? No shoes. And besides by this time he was drunk too so he couldn't drive me home anyway." She stayed the night (sleeping in the same bed with him and his girlfriend) then had him drive her home the next morning. "OK, I can see where the guy hating thing came from, but you know, part of this is some poor planning on your part," I said. "Well, maybe. But that's not the worst part. The third time I went out with him . . ." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #96 July 15, 2010 QuoteHim: 11:40 pm - I want a friend and someone to fuck my brains out. Reminds me of the movie "Taxi Driver". Robert DeNiro gets a crush on Cybil Shepard, and works up his nerve to ask her out. She finally accepts. Where does Robert take her on this first date? To a porno movie. Cybill storms out, the relationship is over. DeNiro is crushed, goes crazy, and ends up shooting people over a hooker (Jodie Foster). Make like Cybil Shepard - get out before it's too late.

I gave it a shot, but there's only so much you can tell someone who's 25 and hasn't been in many relationships. Some things you have to learn on your own.
