Ah! Yes, and gamer guys who can say the same. Say... I'm a hermit who has no interest in relationships, and you're a sensible woman who has no interest in relationships, we'd be miserable together... WE'RE PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER! *coughs* That was terrible. Given how things are in our world though, I don't blame anyone who has the sense to avoid relationships. People do disgusting things, and make life miserable for one-another. It's easier just to live and let live, forget the crap we put up with growing up, and drown in vodka. Mmmm...  My fiancee' met and it was love at first sight litterally. We havent spent more than 2 days straight apart since we met. We even live together now. Just wait... things happen in mysterious ways. |

Ah. "Love at first sight" never really worked out well for me, haha! I've had a lot of bad relationships start out like that; one woman even fell in love with me when she saw me in my Domino's uniform. I miss that uniform... and that job. Ehm... but yeah, for most "love at first sight" relationships, I give 'em two months -- tops. My track record spans from one to... three, maybe four months was my longest relationship. If anything they're all more summer romances than anything. As far as I'm concerned, commitment is lacking in such a shallow world.
Honestly, I hope the ones I was involved with make like the food in my fridge and perish.

I can't believe I started another offtopic discussion! xDD Haha, this time it was definitely not intentional. But oh well, now that the lion is out of its cage... Note: consider this post to be 6 posts. xD I'm 18. And I won't quit gaming, never, because it's part of my life, proudly.   I share your sentiments, but when I try to explain this to my fiancee' she just gives me the "look" .... Its tough being a 'gamer' (I really hate that word) Ah, I know quite well that "look". xD It's common to happen. When a girl learn how much of a gamer you really are, she might stare like that. I think you just have to moderately show her how and why you like games. Well, at least that's kind of how I do when I tell a girl gaming is part of my hobbies. The funny thing is almost every girl from my brothers generation (he is 18) likes to play at least one game. Video games have become so "norm" in children culture now its hard to find anyone who hasn't enjoyed at least one video game. My lady would never sit down to on purposely play anything other than wii sports or ddr wii, but she recently asked me to order an old snes game from ebay. She played it with her brother and loved it.... I was damn shocked!! Regardless what I am trying to get at is even "nice girls" who don't like Video games, actually enjoy playing them when put in the right environment. However, Unsavory Maggot, given a ton of evidence to the fact that the all alluring "gamer girl" can be something to be avoided, at all costs haha. Ha! Yes, nowadays almost every person has played a game, even if just once. For example, there's this girl from college I'm in really "good terms with" ( ). She clearly said "I hate games". But within time I became her friend and I learned she used to play games a bit in her past, like Donkey Kong Country for SNES and some stuff. Also I've seen she actually doesn't like games much, because she doesn't know games very well at all! I mean, just like your fiancee, I bet she would love games like WarioWare, Wii Sports and that stuff. Not games like RPGs, etc., but rather something to... just play, when you feel like doing it. My fiancee' met and it was love at first sight litterally. We havent spent more than 2 days straight apart since we met. We even live together now. Just wait... things happen in mysterious ways. Hmmm... that's very unusual. I wonder where you met her for the first time though... Hm, I hope you don't mind if I ask this, but are you together for a very long time? Like... 6 months or more... If you two fell in love at first sight AND you two understand very well each other or have a very healthy relationship AND are together for a good time... consider yourself ridiculously lucky. xD Honestly. Because the odds for that to happen is so small, it could be considered impossible, like winning in the lottery. xD You just need a good night getting wasted with buddies. Haha, I'd totally take you up on that offer too! Thankfully, I got some in the fridge; I'm good for now! Heh, I'm sure you would enjoy something like that, Unsavory Maggot. xD Man, there was a time I lived in hell, purely. For 4 consecutive years or so. I told you a bit of that story once. xD When I finally found people I could trust and stuff, duuuuuude... You have no idea WHAT A WEIGHT was left out of my shoulders. We went once to a "disco" (but just a bit more hardcore than that  ) with some guys and stuff, just for fun. Man, after so many years in my own prison, I felt I could finally die happily, with satisfaction. I mean, you just need what Justinzero said. xD Yeah, as much as relationships may suck, I WANT ONE.  -Tom Just be careful with what you wish. xD The issue is, generally, to maintain the relationship. For example, when you get into a relationship, we tend to go a lot to the... sexual part (kissing and stuff) and forget the friendship part. We can't forget to have other things to do with the person. For example, you both like a type of music? Then share it and appreciate it alongside with the person. Discuss about the music and stuff. You both like a movie? Go see it, and leave all the close contact to some other time, somewhere else. Be careful not to be doomed by obsession, of any sort. Also be careful not to be heavily dependent on the person. And other things. Relationships are RISKY, you have to use extreme caution. On a side note, I must say that all I learned was through my own mistakes. BIG ONES. I'm glad I did them nowadays, because otherwise I wouldn't have acquired the knowledge I have today. I mean, be careful! xD Hm, I never dated a girl who was hardcore in games, etc.. But I suppose the odds are that they might be emotionally unbalanced? I don't know. Oh yeah, also there's another little thing. I think it's better to have a great friendship with someone, men and women alike, instead of all that sexual relationship we all are discussing about. Friends are all you need, socially speaking. A close relationship with someone is just optional, because you'll both gain and lose with it. I, myself, would like to live without getting on a very serious relationship. I'd like to spend time with all the people I like (friends and family), and date some girls once in a while. For me, dating and that is just great, rather than diving in big relationships. This is the end of my post. xD (I wonder who read all of that. Hmmm... I hope at least a soul did. Or whatever, anyway. ) |

Yeah, I read it. I don't like watching women play games... haha. I mean, the ones I've watched get so pissy and moody, toss their controllers around and act like little children when they lose.  At least when I play, I'm a good sport about it. |

I have to admit (and I doubt I'm the first one to say this) he's certainly wise beyond his years. Not just a love guru, but a friendship guru aswell. All I can ever seem to do is make like an ostrich, run away, and hide my head in the ground until everyone disappears, haha. I don't even know if I have what it takes to figure out whether or not I can trust actually anyone. I mean, I weed out not just the weeds, but the grass too...
My land is a barren, desolate land,
of neither grass nor weed, but sand...

Ya know, it's kind of strange but all my relationships started without physical or visual contact. @_@;
My first relationship was back when I was around 16 when I was a total anime and manga loving dork. I was into snail mail correspondence then and met some guy a few years older than me through that. He lived in the US and visited a few times. I think this lasted for a year. We sort of ... drifted apart eventually but it was mostly cuz of me since his every-weekend phone calls got annoying and I sort of stopped talking to him. :/
My next one was even more short-lived! I met a local guy through the Internets through a forum & IRC channel where like a bunch of people with similar interests hung out. This time, I think we were both to blame because a) I wasn't taking the relationship that seriously cuz he never outright said he liked me and b) he tried to force something on me that I didn't like.
My current one is pretty good though cuz we're both hermits, have the same dorky humour, and share quite a bit of interests (including gaming although we're sort of different in the type of games we play and like) and he totally respects my space and makes sure I'm not uncomfortable with anything. :3 Oh and we met through the Internet and from the same group as above. ^^;
I guess the one neat thing about meeting without seeing a person first is that you can be more or less certain that the person likes you for who you are and not what you look like. :D Of course, if you're putting up a front and lying all the time, then that could be an issue in the long run. :P

I both agree, and disagree. Have you ever seen that episode of South Park where I think Stan's sister's in a relationship with this guy on the net, and the internet of the world gets shut down? Well when they met, it was brief and un-fun. I think that sums up internet dating; fun on the net, but lame in person. Plus... you don't know if you're dating someone REALLY shallow or not until you meet them, and if you find they are... well in my case, I'd be screwed. Also: I find it weird that in most of my relationships, the women attempt to begin that whole physical aspect... I mean, is that like a way of saying I'm too slow? That's another issue I have; they come on too fast, and I tell them no, and then they have the nerve to tell me I'm too fast -- and it's like whatever, you tried getting in my pants first, dammit! They just don't make their intentions clear at all. In my opinion, if you intend to get all fooly cooly with another person... well I mean... I dunno, it's just funky that you'd be whoring yourself out like that only for the purpose of enjoyment and not because you want anything more than that. I mean, if I played around with everyone I dated... I'd be like the Jenna Jameson of man-whores. Plus that just spreads diseases that don't need anymore spreading. I swear, next time I'll just say "you better put on a ring before you massage my thing". I mean, do you want to spread disease or be exclusive? It's weird, they say men don't get used... a lot of them say it... but they do, they use us. I've been used more times than I can count on one hand. So instead of being walked on, treated like crap, or dealing with the nonsense of personal relationships, I just say hell with it and hide out here where nobody will find me. Furthermore: Looks like that chick's done with me. She doesn't respond to any of my messages whatsoever, and she's been online every day. Whatever that's all about, I don't know, don't care, good riddance. She dresses like a slut anyway.  Edit: That is, she hasn't said anything for a month. Not even a hint that it's over. |

I don't even know if I have what it takes to figure out whether or not I can trust actually anyone. I mean, I weed out not just the weeds, but the grass too... My land is a barren, desolate land, of neither grass nor weed, but sand... Firstly, thanks a lot for the compliments, nunuu and Unsavory Maggot. I think it was a bit overdone. xD But I appreciate it anyway. Maggot, you're sounding just like me some time ago, it's scarily surprising... Back when I lived at my own Dark Age, I did what you just said: I hid my head in the ground until everyone disappeared. I fought not to do it, but I was given no other choice. I was forced to stay like that from 2003 to 2005. In 2006 everyone disappeared (things changed). The absolutely only thing I had then was family (and I never was specially close with them or anything. We are very "neutral" among ourselves). From there on, I had the chance to start from 0 (zero) again, instead of -999. I can safely say, trusting others takes a lot of time. I don't know if you had similar problems in which I did, but I know that suffering makes one stronger, and more "mature". Just be careful to where you redirect all that strength later on. I used mine later on wisdom, curiosity and flexibility. I started being all philosophical and I was curious about the human (and other species') mind. Thus leading me to want to study psychology in a great university, in which I still intend to go to someday. Maybe after 5 years or something. Basically I'm saying you're not really alone. I believe many people in the world share similar experiences. I hope I could add a spot of light there. I'd want to join this conversation, but I don't know what to say. It's so much easier for me having conversations on MSN. True. xDD It's kind of hard to know what to say here... it's something very delicate... =x |

At least this time I'm not running from Neo Nazis (obviously not for your typical reasons) or the red and blue bandana heads... just the infinite stupidity of mankind. I just need to have a bad run-in with the hell's angels; only then will my life be complete, hahaha! Edit: I think alot of that strength went toward a bunch of holes in my apartment's walls, and a hole in my wallet. I think it's my disorder that's making me stronger though, 'cause I'm often pissed for no reason and I shop like a damn kid in a candy store when I'm upset, and joy? Hell, I'm more chipper than a five year old hopped up on coffee and easter candy. I have meds to balance all of that out, but... I stopped taking them. Life's just easier to deal with when my mind's all up in a mobius loop, pulling 180's left and right. It scared me at first... but I've never been able to push people away like I am now. All since the day something inside of me finally decided to really snap. Now it's like having a funeral, christmas and "someone fucking stole all of my shit, man!" all at once, all the time. X) I've always been passive too, but I tell you... I want to feel fists coming in from all angles, and return the favor in a jolly red pool. |

They just don't make their intentions clear at all. xD I don't really understand some women too. There are some who are comprehensible and some that aren't at all. Like, there were some days my ex wanted my attention, a lot. Then the next day, she didn't want anything with me at all. Then the other day there she was again with her thoughts completely changed. And so on. Very confusing. But I know it was somewhat related to these biological issues women have... you know... It's weird, they say men don't get used... a lot of them say it... but they do, they use us. I've been used more times than I can count on one hand. So instead of being walked on, treated like crap, or dealing with the nonsense of personal relationships, I just say hell with it and hide out here where nobody will find me. I confirm that, men are also used. You must also get angry when you hear some women saying "men are all bastards, they only use us" and stuff. That's actually f***ing unfair, I know. I was also used once. It doesn't happen as much, but there're men who also say that about women. That happens to both sides. Not because men/ women are stupid, it's the sick human race. |

Yeah, I've heard it; and at the time I'd heard it, I actually felt sorry for the bitch and agreed. Nowadays I'd rather have just ripped her ugly head off and made a helmet out of it, because I understand my side of the coin, and I understand theirs. People really are just a big stain on the underpants of our great planet.

I digress; even if they find a nice one, they'll still consider him a piece of trash. Believe me, I'm all too familiar with women who talk about being stomped on by men turning around and treating me like I'm the person that raped/threatened/abused/attacked them. I'd be your shoulder to cry on, but don't you fucking dare compare me to them, bitch!  |

Wow. This topic really exploded! Just to add my two cents: While my comments above do make me sound rather naive, I've actually had my fair share of bad relationships, so I pretty much know exactly what I'm looking for at this point. See, I'm a bit of a hermit. I like having "me time," and if I don't get enough me time in a day, I get cranky. REALLY cranky. I also have a lot of friends, though. And I make a point of hanging out with them whenever I can. But my friends can very easily overstay their welcomes pretty quickly - and then when they leave, I feel like I'm on vacation or something! I almost feel bad at how GLAD I am to see them all go home. So for me, what I'm looking for in a relationship is simple. I don't need great sex, I don't need gorgeous looks... all I need is someone with whom I feel so comfortable that her presence does NOT leave me feeling like I need some "me time" to recover from hanging out with her. In short, I want a woman whose presence in no way detracts from my relaxation. That's pretty much it! I can fully agree with you on that. I though I was the only person on earth that thought like that... I am so damn relived. |
