It’s not “sneak bragging” to point out that if you are attractive and in good shape that you aren’t going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel as you suggested here:

PS, regarding this tired meme that “women only have to walk six feet to have sex if they want to” : Yeah, maybe, if you have no standards and don’t give a shit about the person you are having sex with. If you actually want to find someone you have an emotional connection with and find attractive, instead of just using the criterion “will have sex with me if asked,” it’s a bit more difficult. *
It occurred to me this morning that in light of his refusal to update us, the answer to tdn’s original question can be definitively determined to be “Satan.”
I didn’t read that suggestion at all. It was a response, not to the OP, but to another post suggesting that the woman didn’t need to drive to have sex. If anything the OP was classified in the “someone you have an emotional connection to” category.
Oh. Well then that makes him a douchebag. There should be a rule that if you start more than 3 relationship threads without returning to them you get banned ;).
Of course you are very fit. Very fit and very, very attractive. Could you rate your fitness/attractiveness on a scale of 1-10 for us? Because, I’m pretty impressed as it is but if it turns out that you’re a 9 or even a mythical 10, I’m going to be SUPER impressed.
I just want to be able to accurately gauge my impressedness.
I think a lot of people find it bizarre that this woman is going to fix up her clunker so she can drive six hours to meet some guy from internet site for some strange at a discount hotel. Just – what the hell? Apologies if this means I’m sneak bragging, too.
I’m really only directing that at LurkerInNJ’s whole “I’m so unbelievably fit and attractive that I can get a new relationship like you buy new underpants” thing.
Based on tdn’s most recent threads, I think he’s following a certain guide book on how to woo the ladies. One of the testimonials for the book in question include getting a woman to do something like this. And the book itself uses terms like “giving women a great experience” actually explaining how to set up the encounter, as well as “creating a closeness” or whatever it was tdn said about the last one.
And, no, I’m not saying anything good or bad about tdn. It’s just an observation. I used to read those books back when I was a kid. The reason I never tried the techniques offered was because my goals were different than that of the author.
Well, the majority of the people I have met in my adult life have been in relationships. Everyone in my family is in a relationship, me being the last holdout a few years ago. It’s not so easy for everyone but you shouldn’t feel snubbed by someone who says they could manage average.
Yikes. It seems like this has hit some button with you that is making you a bit unreasonable. LurkerInNJ didn’t seem to say that as far as I can tell. It seems like you took her statement where she disagreed with you and are pretending that she claims she’s super hot. What I read was her responding to your notion that you need/want an emotional connection. She simply said that if she wants emotional connections she looks for a relationship. If she just wants sex (which is what that old tired meme is about) she looks for someone who simply meets “other personal standards” she holds.
Somehow you twisted that into sneak bragging, which is hilarious as you’ve spent most of this thread defending someone who drops brags like rain falls in Seattle. Brags that I’m not too sure a lot of people around here believe.
Only then, in response to your odd snide response did they bring up attractive and fit.
Yah, I have to say I’m about a “4” right now, and far from fit. And I’m pretty well certain that I could go down to the local and find a partner in about 35 seconds if I chose to do so. It’s nice to be female, if that’s type of thing you want; in which case you deserve to get it.
Hm. OK, clearly I have seriously misinterpreted LurkerInNJ’s tone/intent. Yeah, the whole “if I want a relationship I just go get one” bugged me but I think you are right that I read more bragginess into it than was there. My apologies to LurkerInNJ for inappropriately unholstering the .50-cal Snark Cannon.
