Pet peeves.

Honestly, that is SUCH a dude thing to say. I'm not standoffish at all - you know me, I'm this nice in real life too and I'm uncomfortable being mean to people - and loads of guys see that as an invitation to hit on me. I love you dearly but you're totally wrong, sweetie.

Gay guys, as it turns out, are not exactly the same as girls.

 

I probably am wrong. I don't want to depreciate your experience.

It's only, I've seen women who are rarely harassed. And women that get harassed more than average. I don't think their demeanor is unconnected to it, even though everyone deserves their personal space.

Finally, I wasn't comparing gay dudes to girls. I was comparing them with guys in your life.

Gay dudes occupy the same bracket in my life that creepy old men on the train occupy in yours.

They are usually pushy and creepy. And they get more so, the more I ignore them.

 

Gay guys keep making out with me. No, I'm serious, my gay friends are like "Oh, I'm gay so I can totally make out with you and it doesn't even count." Which is...fine, actually, because they're good kissers.

Anyway, you can start up random conversations on the subway with me whenever you want, big boy.

 

Haha...You are so right about that Molly...that is exactly the reason I won't go into a bar alone to wait for someone...it's like waving a red cape in front of a bull...

I do not want to talk to complete strangers who will probably want to eat my liver with a bowl of fava beans and a nice chianti...

And before anyone freaks out about that, yes, I know there are nice strangers out there, when I slid my car into a ditch this winter, many of them stopped to see if I needed help. But being picked up (because it is always some creepy man) is not on my to-do list...

 

Here's my favorite: "If I were a younger man, you'd be in trouble!" Um, no, because you'd still be ugly and socially awkward.

 

Interesting. I noticed the same. Why is it always some creepy dude, do you know?

I guess I am not creepy. I never approach women ever. They approach me.

So...I may be unloved. But at least I'm not creepy.

 

I'd love to. The thing is...I won't.

As far as I'm concerned, that's a woman's job to do. :juggle:

 

Maybe it is because I prefer to meet people through other people...

I'm glad to hear you are not creepy, praxis.

Also, age plays a factor, men my own age don't seem to bother me, men 20 years older than me do...like when I was 19 being hit on by 40 year olds...

 

Yeah, but you realize I'm in a conundrum.

I can actually say something similar: the women that approach me tend to be fat and disgusting.

Anyway, there is probably an evolutionary wisdom in the fact that men and women are rarely happy with one another.

I, myself, have given up hope. :birds:

 

Same with me. It's old guys or smelly guys or homeless guys or old smelly homeless guys who want to start conversations. The cute college boy with glasses who reads "Life Of Pi" on the train? Doesn't even notice me.

Okay, here's my theory: socially adept, good-looking people have plenty of friends and potential partners that they already know, and therefore do not feel like they have to go up to random people. Desperate old people who don't have a good circle of friends have no better options than to go up to strangers and hope they get lucky.

That makes sense, right?

 

I think it's a bit simplistic.

I don't know if I'm socially adept, as much as I am prideful. And women better take some risks if they expect me to be interested in them.

I guess I have options women-wise...but I choose not to exercise them, because I lose all my respect for women if I have to pick them up.

 

So you just wait for us to pick you up? I'd call you conceited except that I've been hitting on you since I found out how hot you are, so I guess I don't really have a leg to stand on here.

 

so i have to pick up another guy? honestly, so what else is new. dave says it's because i'm intimidating. never been picked up before, i guess i'm not gonna start now.

 

And by the way, Prax, would you please replace your current gallery pic (in which you look like a serial killer) with that other pic (which makes me want to lick you until you're all gone)?

 

Pet peeve...

When fat people tell me that my cat is fat and I should stop feeding her so much...
I REALLY have to bite my tongue...

 

After I get the operation you're in trouble.

Wait, that was awkward wasn't it?

 

what about when your turn your back and fat bitches are chewing on your cat??

 

That bugs the hell out of me too...

 

no doubt. good GOD that's a good freaking picture. but i'm sure he'd be inundatated with annoying flirty women.

oh, i did think of a pet peeve. being a plump woman, i'd like it known that every time i go up to talk to a guy, i'm not trying to get him naked. i typically consider them outta my league and just want someone to talk to and joke around with. and maybe con into a game of fooseball. men who aren't talking to anyone are usually up for a game of fooseball if only someone would come up and ask.

i don't like just sitting there, drinking and chatting. i'm hyper.

 

i love annoying people who can't stand people who make noises when eating. i go out of my way to piss those people off and watch them scoff or stomp away. it makes my day, then i'll go back ot eating quietly.
