Nah man, I'm a sucker for the ladies in heels. Does wonderful things for the ass.

That said have you ever been to Toyko? You'd have a meltdown. Thousands of girls all in enormous heels, all walking intoed and shuffling down the street. And it's a bow legged apocalypse: like a rickets epidemic afflicting young girls. I can't think the footwear is helping much.

Fuck it though, they're doing it for us. Should probably salute the fact they're jeopardising their health for our viewing pleasure.

This really says it all.

That girl you met that you seemed to hit it off with at lunch today?

Shes taken. Everytime. :(
IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateit.

And when they are single, fate has a way of fucking you in the asshole...like her dying abruptly of a disease in her sleep. :(

Sometimes, I hate the world. And I think it's out to get me.

Totally irrational, I know. If those people existed in the first place, then there must be more people out there just like them who you haven't met yet. I am a confident guy who has no problem chatting it up with a girl that some guys would consider to be out of their league. But goddamnit on a stickkkk, as far as the ones I am totally compatible with go, it never works out due to them "having a baby's daddy" or something along those lines (happened to me a couple of days ago, actually. I'm so used to it, that I kinda figured that she was taken the second I sat on that bench to converse, though I didn't let it show in the conversation.)

There are so many average girls that I can/could have get into a relationship with. But I'd be deceiving myself if I told myself that any of them would make me happy. (PROTIP: they never do. And I end up being even more dissatisfied than when I was single)

I know it sounds fucked up, but I'm sick of waiting around for that special someone. It's time to take an opportunity instead of hoping it will drop in my lap by pure chance.

And by "take an opportunity," I don't mean rape. :lol: I'm just saying the boyfriend crap should be irrelevant and I should be able to charm the girl in question naturally, slowly leading her to question her feelings and the importance of the relationship she is currently in. I did that once with positive results. In a ruthless world, you have to be equally as ruthless to win. Call me an asshole, but I'd rather be the biggest one in the world than a loser. Just my two cents.

Oh, and it's also worth noting that, in my case, smoking hot women with actual personalities and strong chemistry between us ARE LIKE FUCKING UNICORNS. So when I do see one, the only thing I am thinking is "holy shit, I hope she is single. All I need is one window of opportunity and I will prove myself." And of course, they never are. It's a law of the freaking universe, dontcha know.

Speaking of girls, here's something else that annoys me.

So I'm in this play at my community college, and I play some character who I don't particularly care for or identify with in the slightest. My "wife" is the most hideous piece of shit I have encountered in a long time. We have to hold hands (I'm gagging as I'm typing this) and she does little irritating things to get my attention, such as purposely bumping her knee against something, saying "ow ow ow" in hopes that I will ask "What's wrong? Are you ok?" It's as pathetic as you can get. Straight up, I deserve better than this shit. I feel sorry for pretty girls who have to deal with obnoxious men on a daily basis. This is like the opposite of that.

The good news is, we are playing a couple in our late 60s whose marriage is deteriorating. :lol: So naturally, we are great on stage together.

I believe the bow-leggedness is due to the girls being made to sit seizai style (sitting on the floor with your legs tucked under you) for long hours since they were children. My wife doesn't walk like this because she wasn't raised that way. She sat in chairs. Chinese and Korean families sit in chairs too, so this is a J-thing. Being slightly bow-legged is a little cute, but not in the way the video you linked shows.

I bet GP will have some better insight into this and tell me if I'm wrong or not.

That's interesting. I actually thought it was genetic, like the shark teeth.

Personally I don't think being slightly bow legged is 'cute', but each to their own greg, you disability fetishist. :mrgreen:

You are aware of the Ladder Theory, right? Once a chick has decided in her mind you're not "her type," you have a better chance of being hit by lighting, living through that s*** and becoming clairvoyant, and using your newfound powers to win the lottery 8)

Aaaaanyway, I stopped giving myself illusions about those things, but I'm old so I guess that's how it's supposed to be. Kids, take advantage of being in school because it is your best chance to land a chick or two. Alls I say, try doing it from a corporate or office environment, when you're not even talking about some mystery "boyfriend" ruse to make you go away, but actual engagement and wedding rings with diamonds the size of a racoon's brain 8)

Now you mention it, that sounds like a pretty realistic appraisal.

How weird.

I can hang with that, glasses are cool. I just don't want to have to carry them up flights of stairs.

Ladder theory is infuriating. It's crass, vulgar, and lacking dignity. However, it's all the more annoying because, unlike most things I dislike, I can't really disagree with it - it actually appears to correctly model relationships most of the time.

The "game" (I hate using the word in that context) really is that stupid.

It annoys me when people call first person shooters / ego shooters a shoot'em'up... i get all excited that shmup is mentioned only to find out they are talking about an FPS. Get the terminology right, damn it.

I bet this one is going to stir some of you up.

I hate with a passion the combination of tape and bubble wrap. Those of you who think putting stuff in bubble wrap and then rolling tons of tape around it need shooting.

As long as the box is sturdy and the insides don't bob around and is protected by something soft what more can you ask?

The reason I say this is because on occasion it takes me 20 minutes to get the damn item that I've lost all my enthusiasm for the item by the time I get to it.

You've obviously not dealt with the Italian postal service. :shock:
every single package I've sent to Italian customers is received looking like it went through a tree-shredder.

Vampire orgy books.

Like these ones.

I don't like being compared to a fucking vampire/werewolf hybrid thing by my girlfriend and her mate when they sit there talking about the stuff in this every day. Fortunately I annoy them back by taking the mickey out of every last thing they mention. When they get sick and tired of me mocking them and say so I'll just say it right back in my typical brutal honesty.

Gaaaah. I've ready fan fiction and furry fiction written better than that tripe, and they weren't that good to begin with.

:lol: I will make sure people know I'm not in Italy then. Packages are designed to be opened surely? Maybe there should be a worldwide adoption of tuppaware boxes for postal application.

On Youtube, there's a ton of "True Colors" covers that credit the original to Phil Collins, or even Glee, rather than Cindy Lauper.

Can't people spend a minute checking a few facts before opening their mouths and letting the world know how absolutely ignorant they are?! :evil:
