The train wreck....
 
I used to blog about my online and real life dating experiences, and will probably continue to do so, but I would really rather have a little thread here that I can let stuff spew from my mouth and you guys can comment...or not...as you seem fit.

I put the moz on myself with this latest guy, in chat the other day I mentioned how much I liked him and how I had high expectations.....now...nothing!!

At the moment, I'm being really girly and sitting on my hands so I dont do the dumb txt message thing.

I *really* like this guy...like.. really...and have gone into over analysing, self destructive mode.

xoxoxoBruce 06-16-2008 10:07 AM

You can let it all hang out here, without repercussions. We'll love you longtime, regardless. :heartpump

Sundae 06-16-2008 10:49 AM

:corn:
Oh goodie. I can enjoy dating vicariously to prepare me for the real thing!

Aliantha 06-16-2008 05:50 PM

Just ring him and suggest a date mate. Don't agonize or wring your hands, and definitely don't do nothing.

One phone call with a suggestion of a meeting is not psycho behaviour, and it's not over the top. It's just an indication of your desire to spend some time with said male.

That's what I think.

DucksNuts 06-16-2008 08:13 PM

I'm sitting on my hands....he's been really busy....trains race horses....so I am just waiting and seeing what happens.

He's s'posed to have a couple of days off this week and was going to come over here for them....so....just.waiting.

Oh and I should probably clarify things regarding photographer-dude...he's just really a fuckbuddy...we are the people we sleep with, when we arent sleeping with anyone else.

Anyways, I posted in the other thread the quote from his email to me, he's realised the penthouse chick is a whacker...living in the past....so now he wants to know when he can come...err...banging on my door again.

Funny...I see him in a slightly different light, after he fell for the b/s she was feeding him.

Clodfobble 06-16-2008 08:23 PM

Yeah, if you already have plans made with him, I'd say keep those hands nice and squashed. You can wait it out.

jinx 06-16-2008 08:30 PM

Which one is the guy you were considering relocating for?

DucksNuts 06-16-2008 08:58 PM

Ha.....keep up with my men jinx :p ....he dumped me, see this thread.

See, this will keep up the dumpedness in one thread.

jinx 06-16-2008 09:16 PM

Did he have an identifying characteristic though, like photographer guy and army guy? And what are we calling the new guy? Help me out here...

SteveDallas 06-16-2008 10:15 PM

How about some charts or diagrams?

DucksNuts 06-17-2008 01:47 AM

He was electrician guy...lets call the new guy Horse guy. ;)

Horse guy txt me before and said he's been super busy....yay!!

Thanks ducks, this will help me to follow it all more accurately. But I'm more of a visual guy, so...;)

DucksNuts 06-17-2008 07:35 PM

I can put a picture of each of their penises...peni...peniseseses in here if that helps you Lookout?

You know I would do anything for you :)

Cicero 06-17-2008 08:46 PM

Horse guy. lol! That's so funny in so many ways, ok, let's call him that.
;)

lookout123 06-18-2008 01:24 AM

i guess that depends on what the peni are doing at the time ducks. ;)

seriously though i just had this image of you collecting photos of every penis you've seen. like tacked up on your wall or something "hey look, a collage!"

DucksNuts 06-18-2008 04:30 AM

Doesnt every girl have a penis collage on their wall?

Yes??

No??

Oh...

Elspode 06-18-2008 07:15 AM

I've dated women whom I am pretty sure had peni in jars of formaldehyde...

loTEK911 06-18-2008 07:31 AM

Thats why I no longer date women with collections of knives... an daggers... an axes. Being a notch on th bed post is degrading enough. Being a center piece in a jar, well, I jus couldn't live with th shame. An insisting you ave your lovers spats in public places gets old... :right:

Aliantha 06-18-2008 06:42 PM

I think it's low brow to air your problems in public. It's unpleasant to listen to couples argue in public places. Even pubs.

lookout123 06-19-2008 12:30 AM

so this won't be a thread you'll be a regular in then?

Aliantha 06-19-2008 12:32 AM

What are you talking about?

lookout123 06-19-2008 12:35 AM

Nothing. I was just being a smartass, but now I realize that I misread the sequence of a couple posts. So I'll just leave this as yet further evidence of my dumbassery.

Aliantha 06-19-2008 12:45 AM

Oh well that's ok. Glad I didn't go getting all pissy over it then. :) That would have just been silly.

DucksNuts 06-22-2008 04:43 AM

I grow impatient of mr hot-cold Horse guy, I am not writing him off, coz he is nearly perfect (except for the workaholicness and hotcoldness)....but...Im an options open kinda girl.

Enter....the diesel dude. He's a diesel mechanic, has been standoffishly flirting with me for a couple of weeks and he stole one of my business cards the other day, which has my mobile number (cell) on it....surprise, I have had a heaps of sms messages this weekend...Im seeing more of his personality via sms....or a different part of it anyways.

I wish Horse dude would sort himself out.

:headshake :headshake :headshake :headshake No, no, no, no, no... please don't!!! :eek:

Just the stor... ies (;) ) please. I don't get a lot of entertainment in my life.

Oh... the kinkier, the better! :p

DucksNuts 06-24-2008 09:46 PM

Arrrghhhhh :D

I just got some beautiful flowers delivered to work with a card..."Here's to the unknown"


I dont know which dude they are from.....HELP?

regular.joe 06-24-2008 09:59 PM

Does it matter? Enjoy the intrigue.

xoxoxoBruce 06-24-2008 10:47 PM

Send a thank you for the flowers email to each of them. The one that sent them will be satisfied, and the others will spurred to shit-or-get-off-the-pot, realizing they have competition. ;)

HungLikeJesus 06-25-2008 12:10 AM

DN, those are from me. I remember you like yellow.

DucksNuts 06-25-2008 07:41 AM

Is that why you gave me Red Roses, HLJ??? ;)

Diesel dude, who was the phantom flower giver, has just left after dinner....no sex (this is becoming a habit).

I like Horse guy.

xoxoxoBruce 06-25-2008 08:56 AM

Next time he comes over for dinner, serve him whipped cream and your chops.:blush:

Sundae 06-25-2008 06:53 PM

You like Horse because you don't know where you stand.

Damn, wish I had a phantom flower sender to have dinner with! The not having sex part I am handling myself

no comment - just a smirk

DucksNuts 06-25-2008 11:31 PM

Phantom Flower sender and I have been bickering all morning via txt/sms message.

A misunderstanding about whether we are gonna see each other again....he's cracked the poos now and not talking to me.

Spanka.

Horse dude and I are spending next weekend together :)

Well whatever it was that he did, it had to have been worth it to get to say that phrase, right? I like Horsie dude better anyway.

Big Sarge 06-26-2008 01:22 PM

SEX???? Somebody said sex? What is that? I haven't had any in 11 months. Sigh

Sundae 06-26-2008 05:09 PM

Let's put it this way - I'm looking forward to the next World Cup.

DucksNuts 06-26-2008 06:55 PM

Ok...seriously....Im not *that* much of a tart...but enter Footie dude.

Oh.my.god....this guy is HaWt...they do say opposites attract dont they?

I've been off the dating wagon for waaaaay too long.

Oh and Clod, I like Horsie dude better too, but he is hard work.

DucksNuts 07-06-2008 05:22 AM

Horsie dude has fallen off his horse or something? Actually, he's gone a little nutty, but thats guaranteed to keep me interested and waiting his call.

Phantom flower sender has been here all day....helping me paint the back lounge room. That says something doesnt it? He's very lovely and funny and helpful and sweet. Guys dont like being called sweet.

Footie dude.....hmmm...no further comment as yet.

Aliantha 07-06-2008 06:19 PM

Go for the one helping you with your house. Some guys like being called sweet, and it's usually those ones that are worth hanging on to. Anyway, what would I know. I fucked up plenty when I was younger, and nothing much has changed.

Pooka 07-08-2008 07:45 AM

I always liked a guy who works with his hands... especially those who aren't afraid to get dirty.... does Diesel man wear one of those monkey suits? I've been trying to get Flint into one of those jumpers for years now... dirty dirty...

A man who will spend his free time helping you with house projects seems well worth investing in in other capacities... he is thoughful, helpful, and still romantic (the flowers)... whats not to like?? He doesn't have some wierd deformity or smell does he?

morethanpretty 07-12-2008 07:12 PM

A man who voluntarily helps with home improvement? I thought that only happened on PBS...

Pico and ME 07-12-2008 10:23 PM

Wow.

Ducks, the man who is working to keep your attention is the keeper. The one who you need to work to get his attention is the loser.

But I know what its like to fall for someone like the horse guy. I let someone like him go to marry my husband. I still think about him now and then, but I did make the better choice.

In the meantime...are you having fun or what!

Wow!

not necessarily. It depends on if he is trying to buy her with little tokens or why he is sending flowers. What's his angle.

agreed only if it isn't being sought in desperation.

Pico and ME 07-13-2008 10:41 AM

Well generally speaking...I think most men 'chase' a woman with the same angle in mind. At least initially...:D.

Aliantha 07-13-2008 05:48 PM

I'm with Pico. Generally if a guy is doing all he can to impress you by helping you out with jobs around the house etc, then he's probably after your attention and affection. That'd probably be his 'angle'.

It's very cool to be cynical about people's motives these days, but seriously, there are a lot of lovely people out there who really just want to be loved. What's so wrong with that?

classicman 07-13-2008 06:21 PM

Right on, Ali!

And get in her pants.

Shawnee123 07-14-2008 11:11 AM

Guys who help you out, one thing...clingy guys who fall all over themselves over everything you do, that's a whole other ball of wax. Desperately needing to be loved in order to maintain any semblance of self-worth, or because they just can't be alone, is not a good thing; that kind of fawning adoration will either burn out or make you sick of the sight of them, knowing their every ounce of happiness should not depend on whether or not you like them that day. I dated one of those. I really really tried. He took me to great places, did whatever I wanted, but would cry if I was feeling quiet and not responding to his every "are you OK? did I do something? please talk to me. please..." Just saying "I'm not very talkative right now, I'm just quiet sometimes" only led to more pleading, which made me quieter, which made him whine more, which pissed me off.

Just my 2 cents, without passing what would be ill-informed judgment on any of the guys.

well, duh
who the fuck wouldn't love that

DucksNuts 07-14-2008 08:46 PM

Meh, Diesel dude is MIA :rolleyes:

I have a lunch date later this week with....errr.....river dude. He's a guy I met online last year, but the timing was really crappy and we stopped chatting (seriously crappy, we were chatting on the phone and he walked in to find his elderly mother passed on :eek:)....

Sundae 07-15-2008 03:45 AM

River Dude?
No, he's Crappy Timing Dude to me.

Hey - it could be worse, he could be Dead Mother Dude.

DucksNuts 07-15-2008 05:12 AM

ok....River dude (named coz he lives near the Murray River), shall hereby be known as Bad Timing Dude.

morethanpretty 08-12-2008 01:15 AM

So...hows it goin?

xoxoxoBruce 08-31-2008 02:16 AM

Ducky, you have to move to Nar Nar Goon town in Victoria state!

There's a "man drought" on the Australian coast, and a "man dam" in the country’s remote bush. Though the nation was flush with men some 30 years ago, due to immigration policies that favored males, today's Australian women have it harder than their baby boomer sisters did 30 years ago.

Demographer Bernard Salt's book "Man Drought," which was released this week, reveals that love is really where you look for it in Australia, and that it pays to go the distance.

“There is simply less product for 30-something women, in particular, to choose from,” he said.

"In the old days, we believed Mr. or Mrs. Right would show up someday, but as we remain single for much longer, and are far more mobile, the chances are more remote," Salt told Reuters.

ZenGum 08-31-2008 02:54 AM

Mrs. Right???!!!
That just ain't right!

DucksNuts 08-31-2008 06:13 AM

This made headlines last month....

A SEVERE female drought has gripped Mount Isa, but Mayor John Molony thinks he has the answer: ugly girls.

Men outnumber women at a ratio of about five to one in the testosterone town and the female famine is taking its toll on young blokes.

But the quick-thinking Mayor suggested these could be the perfect conditions for `ugly ducklings' to flourish into beautiful swans and find true happiness in the Isa.

"May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa," Cr Molony said.

"Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness.

"Often those who are beauty-disadvantaged are uphappy with their lot.

"Some, in other places in Australia, need to proceed to Mount Isa where happiness awaits.

"And, really, beauty is only skin deep. Isn't there a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that evolves into a beautiful swan?"

The miners' mecca has traditionally been a man's world – and young fellas say living in the Isa is about earning money, not finding love.

In 2006 there were just 819 females aged 20-24 living in town, compared with 994 in 1996. While most blokes accept the female drought is `just the way it is out here' – they still have a few suggestions as to how to lure the ladies out west.

Builder Paul Woodlands, 25, said the pay for jobs traditionally filled by women did not seem to match what the blokes could earn and there was little incentive for women to stay in the remote town.

"I know a few women who have come out here to do hairdressing, but they left to go back to the coast because the pay was bad and there's not much to do," Mr Woodlands said.

"I think if they improved wages for those types of jobs, it might help.

"There's definitely a lack of beautiful women, blokes are not as picky – you take what you can get."

Grant Rollings, 26, dubbed the Isa `the beer goggle' capital of Australia.

He said blokes were far less choosy when it came to women, because they were few and far between.

Electrician Paul McDonald said his mates warned him not to bring his girlfriend to the Isa as she would become prey to the men.

Though he claimed the divorce rate is skyrocketing in Mount Isa, after 12 months he is still happily attached.

Fly-in, fly-out miner Luke Eastgate, 22, hinted that while there were women around, many were not the type to take home to meet your mother.

"There are a small number of professionals, like school teachers and nurses, but it's more of an open set-up, it's difficult to find a girlfriend in this town and keep her."

Mr Eastgate said many young professionals were in Mount Isa for a short time to start their career before they moved back to larger cities.


Sundae 09-01-2008 05:57 AM

I was online booking my plane ticket. Then I reread it checking for the address.

Damn.
They've got enough of my type already.

Aliantha 09-01-2008 11:14 PM

They could always use more SG. ;)

The whole issue has caused a bit of an uproar though as Ducks pointed out.

Personally I thought it was the funniest blunder I've ever heard a politician make, but he'll probably survive it. After all, most of his voters are men. lol

DucksNuts 09-03-2008 05:43 AM

Yeah, it was amusing...and effective.

I read that the amount of women up there had increased dramatically.

Now, back to our regular viewing.....

Horse dude is STILL yanking my chain.....he has the same kinda hold over me that army dude has....and its mainly because I dont know when and if he is gonna pop back into my life. When he does, he has my....well....he thinks undivided attention.

In the meantime....I may post some pics in the NSFW thread :)
