Due to the size and their public openness they have to be absolutely sedate.

See: Gelding.

I stopped into the Fort Collins brewery a year or so ago but they had them all turned out in an exercise pen. Never got to see them up close. But the sampled beer they give you is fresh. Hot damn.

Here's a "clean" version of how I feel right about now...

And for all the uppity girls I've known who have said...
-- "I'm just really into my career/school/whatever right now"
-- "you're a really nice guy, but I just wanna be friends"
-- "it's not you, it's me"
-- et cetera, ad infinitum

...here's what I'd really like to play for them:

I know!!! Geez.

i dont get it?

I think the most irritating part is how a phrase like "I just wanna be friends" can have about 15 different meanings, ranging from "I really do like you and want to remain friends" to "I will file a restraining order if I ever so much as spot you from 100 yards away in a public venue."  Most commonly it simply seems to mean "if I never see you again, it'll be too soon." (no threat of restraining order) 

To all the women of this board, I make one humble request: just be honest.  Don't try to hide what you mean because of some misguided desire to be "nice".  The nicest thing you can do for a guy is just to be upfront and honest.  Trust me, he'll get over it.  If, on the other hand, you repeatedly tell "white lies" because you think it's somehow less hurtful, in the end when he finds out how you really feel, it'll only piss him off that you lied.

So, just be honest.

And do me a favor... please pass that along to all your other female companions.

Thanks.

Ah well at least they call you back and inform you of why they don't like you...

Nah, I've only had one tell me what she didn't like... but we had actually been going out for around 4 months, so that was part of an uncomfortable (but necessary) last conversation.  Plus, we were both thinking the same thing for reciprocal reasons.  Worldview clashes weren't goin' away anytime soon.

Otherwise, nobody else has bothered to explain "why".  The only thing I ever get is that I'm "a nice guy".    Yeah, that's about as descriptive as DOS telling you "Bad command or filename".  Or to borrow a phrase from a favorite movie:

"'PC loadletter'... what the f**k does that mean?!?"

Alls I know is, out of multiple turndowns there's only one thing in common... me.  I can't just blame all the girls (okay... I can and will blame some of them, but there's a couple I can't legitimately blame).  So I'd kinda like to figure out what the heck is "wrong" with me so I can fix it and move on.

I just realised... why, oh why, am I discussing relationship stuff with the DMF?    *sigh*... Obviously I'm too tired to be thinking straight.

I did the same thing and it got me to a very good place.

Because you WUV us!!

But seriously, instead of blaming yourself, why don't you look at the wiminz you be chasin. If they continue to shoot you down, maybe they be the wrong wiminz for you? Re-evaluate the stuff you are looking for in a girl and branch out a little.
