Women got you down?

GO RIDE YOUR BIKE OR GO FISHING.

If you want to remain single, don't swear off the women, that just leads to marriage. Trust me on this.

He's right. I was single for a looooong time. It was the weekend that I officially swore off women, and then went to an SCA drinking /fighting/camping event. My whole point was to get drunk as possible, fight alot, burp, fart, and generally be a rude, gross man. What happened? I met the future Mrs. Ciaran. Fell madly in love and haven't left her side since.

That's how it happens, man.

I remember going to work one day several years ago totally down, the sweety I was dating didn't seem like she was into me. We stopped seeing each other for awhile.

I was smitten and I didn't even know it.

I remember telling my boss that "women are pure evil, I can't shake her out of my mind, I need to go cold turkey and not date for awhile..."

I married her last month.

 

[Jr_Bullit]

haha jen you rule.

wishy washy wishy washy wishy washy.

That's when you need to tell her to **** or get off the pot...

wishy washy is not good...besides, I think you find the best people when you're not looking for them - so your pussabatical will do you some good

 

[Jr_Bullit]

Uh oh.

The Rump Junkie sounds like he's GETTIN' OLD!

-S.S.-

Nahh - he's probably just realized that he can pay someone less than what it costs (time/$$/energy) to get a gal for a one night stand...

Tis true. I went on an "I ain't lookin' for a man so leave me the f' alone"abbatical about a year and a half ago and decided I was gonna pour my heart & soul into riding. I did that, lost 30 pounds, and had a great time and I created my own happiness without a man. I hung out with the BikeMojo folks, volunteered on trail work days, and just had a whole lotta fun. Then I found Mr. Right when I wasn't even looking. I guess it is easier for women to find men in this circle of MTBR folks, but you just never know where you may meet the right chick. Even so, just ride, have fun, and it'll happen when you least expect it.

You're still young, so keep the faith my friend N ride ride ride.

This is how it happened for me. I was into *me* - riding, backpacking, climbing, skiing, etc. Just doing what *I* liked to do. Minding my own business.

Went with a couple of buddies on a Tahoe ski trip, met a great gal, and here I am, almost 10 years later with her & 3 wonderful kids.

LOL... Nope, that's not us. We don't put padding on our sticks. (buncha sissies!) Grab a wooden closet rod, then wrap it with two - four layers of duct tape in a spiral pattern. Now put on your DH armor. Then find a good strong friend and have him hit you with the now duct taped closet rod as hard as he can. That's what we do. Would you like to join us? I do have extra armor.

Hey Guys,

I was reading through your posts and I think there's some wisdom in what Mark is saying, but I think there is more to it.

You know ... open up.

. Who knows ... you might actually find what you're looking for.

I met em both...
Trust me he's open neaky:

 

[Toshi]

Met who? Open? ... Or am I asking a question I might not want an answer to?

biggins. and, yes, "open" probably has all of those meanings in this case ink:

 

[JRB]

OK - where are the pics of Pressley???

 

[biggins]

haha awesome new signature ya got there loco.

i will have you know as well that i am working a deal to trade my bike so ya never know i might give up the ladies.

however it would probably be more difficult for the ladies to give me up....

hahaha - I had faith that you could trade the bike. I am not sure I will buy off on the chick thing. Hell, if burly shirley can find a chick, I know you can.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

that could be a possibility but i do not stick to any one type of woman thats what leads me to discount that theory.

Maybe you should look for a "Lafawnduh" on the net, it worked for Kip.

 

[JRB]

Hey Guys,

I was reading through your posts and I think there's some wisdom in what Mark is saying, but I think there is more to it.

I think sometimes it comes down to wanting what you have, and letting yourself be open to someone else. I think that means really sitting down and getting to know someone, and maybe more importantly, letting someone get to know YOU.

Bars aside, I think you should try and open yourself up more. I think everyone has an interesting story to tell, if you're willing to listen. Maybe the problem has just been that you haven't been willing to go out on that limb. You know ... open up.

There will certainly be some crazy 'moments' along the way. I think sometimes we bring them out in other people, as well as ourselves. It's not science, actually, sometimes I think love is just a few short steps from insanity.

So Biggins, if you need a break, take it. Who knows ... you might actually find what you're looking for.

Bump for the richness of Pressley offering up advice on relationships.

this isn't the 19 year old you are talking about is it? you might have better luck dating women and not those barely legals. (they are all crazy you know).

Just because Biggins is playing the field i fail to see why that would be a problem of his own doing?
It's not like dating ='s strict monogamy these days or anything.....

I found out a long time ago that it's easier on all involved to simply stick to one at a time.

Having multiple women is OK in theory, but in a real application it doesn't usually work for anyone.......... unless you don't want to get serious with any of them.

-S.S.-

 

[El Jefe]

i like to think of it that way but when something is starting between a female and myself i tend to step back and realize how i am changing and sacrifices being made and occaisional bout of vagina induced stupidity and this has led me to the conclusion that i like who i am and what i do and the freedom i enjoy and i'll be damned if i am giving any of it up.

Sounds to me like the problem isn't with the woman/women you date, but with you. Allowing yourself to compromise who you are and what you want for anyone, is a poor decision on your part. You need to grow a backbone and get a little more self esteem. Now, if you're changing because you want to change, then more power to you. But if you're feeling like the changes you make are only for someone else, or that you're not happy with the result, then you're to blame for being to much of a pu$$y to say "no, I'm not comfortable with being like that."

On the surface, taking a break from women may seem like a chance to get in touch with yourself and get back in touch with yourself (literally as well as figuratively ). But you have to be in the game to learn how to play in the game. You have to learn first hand how not to let yourself get beat down or sacrifice your identity. That doesn't mean you should go out and scout out a girl to date asap, but don't close yourself off from the possibility of falling into something. If/when you do, take time frequently to assess where you are in relation to where and who you want to be. If you're straying from that ideal, you can recognize and correct the problem or get out of the relationship early on before you lose your identity or become unhappy. If you're finding your needs and wants are being met, or those things that are important to you are changing naturally, well then, maybe you've found the right girl for you. Good luck. Oh yeah, and in the meantime, lining up a couple of steady booty-call girls never hurts.

exactly besides you have to play the rule of 3 anyway. In order to get 1 good woman, you need to date 3 and hopefully 1 will make the cut.

Hmmhh?
I have found the opposite to be true.
Considering that females are a devious species whenever i have had more than 1 interest than that has always seemed to make me more attractive to female #2.
Like my market value goes up because i have other pursuits.
That works great until one of the 2 really wants to get serious.

On the flip side, whenever i'm dog single and in dire need of female companionship then females are repulsed by my "singleness".
Simply adding a female friend to the mix suddenly invigorates said female.

Yeah. But who the hell wants a woman (on any sort of "long-term" basis) motivated by *that*?

You can pretty much do whatever if you're not interested in getting serious.

My theory is that even the "good" ones are still operating on that principle.

In other words: any decent woman has guys on her tip all the time.
It takes a guy operating on the same level for her to see him as her equal and worth while.
It's subtle but it's definitely there.

Not all females are in that category but most IMO. Heck, most are and aren't able to admit it!

Westy knows what i'm talkin bout.........
ElJefe, LLkoolkeg where are you guys to back me up?

SOOOOOOO true....

In addition to the they want more what they cant have easily.

Example... the other week I am talking to this good looking woman, we start talking bla bla bla, what do you do etc etc. I mention my dog, she says she is allergic, kidding (at the time, but it is very true) I say o then there is no point in me talking to you since it isnt going to go anywhere. Almost IMMEDIATELY she ups her interest level 10 fold.

Stupid chics


























I like them.
