If you’re so fucking loaded, why do you have to go halvsies on a hotel room with your ex? ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > If you’re so fucking loaded, why do you have to go halvsies on a hotel room with your ex? The whole resort was booked because there were 1,900 gymnasts and their families there. All the rooms are apartment sized suites. My ex was only there for 2 days out of 4 and the rooms were $280 a night. I ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room for two of them when I wasn’t hanging out with much better people. I appreciate the question and the chance to give clarification. It was still a great time but it definitely reminded me about why I am not married anymore. I called my Russian girlfriend, came and went anytime I pleased and hung out with a world class gymnast and there was not a fucking thing in the world my ex-wife could do about it. Perfect! That is all I ever asked for. I don’t want revenge, I just don’t like to be screwed with. I am going to do what I want to and it causes extreme problems when someone tries to tell me otherwise. My ex-wife already blew her chips. Now she has no power and she hates it because I can just tell her ‘No’ to anything and often do. It isn’t just her. There were many other gymnastics moms there as well and they are generally the same. I told them ‘No’ to various things as well and that goes over exactly as well as you would expect. I don’t care. ‘No’ means ‘No’ but they aren’t used to not getting what they want because they bully everyone into doing what they want in their Stedford lives. The line straight to hell starts on my left. I am not listening anymore to spoiled bullies with nothing better to do. I am just going to do whatever I want at any time with no regard to anyone else except for my kids. Anyone that tries to stop me better have shoulder pads and a helmet on. ---

**Shagnasty** , you are clearly reviving this thread solely to antagonize other people. Go resurrect your Pit thread if you feel the need to discuss yourself further. Thread closed. ---

**Moderator Warning** > [@Shagnasty](#): > > I need to correct myself in this thread and apologize because it turns out that I was more wrong than Rosie Rosie O’Donnell in a tutu. The gods are smiting me because as soon as I started this thread, I started getting sent really hot women over 40. > > My ex-wife and I had to share a hotel suite at the Arizona Grand last weekend because our daughter was competing in a national gymnastics tournament. Now, I already knew that my ex-wife is objectively hot. It is just a shame that personality transplants haven’t been invented yet. We got into a fight yet again because we can’t be alone with each other without adult supervision and I ended up sleeping on the couch just like we were married again. I got pissed off in the middle of the night and left the room to go to the perpetual firepits outside of the main lobby. > > I saw a really hot blonde sitting next to the fire and joined her. She was as sweet as apple pie and only told me her name was Amanda from Ohio. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that she was Gold Medal Olympian Amanda Borden. Awesome person, over 40 and gorgeous. Don’t worry, I didn’t hit on her although she is my friend now. I just told her stupid stories like I do here. She is married and her husband joined us later but she did provide a good reference point. > > When I got back home, I still had my Russian poker player/millionaire although that was starting to get a little shaky. We weren’t really getting anywhere except for a lot of expensive dinner and casino dates. I finally decided to call it last night and just tell her that I wanted a relationship. The first bomb she dropped on me was that she is really 49 instead of 43 like she claimed before. Not having the sense god gave a goose, I was unphased because she looks like she is in her late 30’s at the most and gorgeous. I went back to her mansion to give her a back rub and was not prepared for her skills when she got turned on. I am honestly wondering if she is a former porn star, if not, she missed her true calling. I am lucky I can still type this retraction. She rode me like a rodeo bull and won. It wasn’t even close. > > Most women over 40 are disgusting but certainly not all of them if you know where to look. I was in Arizona with a group of gymnastics moms that fit all of my stereotypes and made it difficult to even finish dinner but I but I could always wander off to talk to the good ones like Amanda or call my Russian poker player when they became too oppressive. It turns out the solution was just to know who to pick and I am getting much better at that. After discussion with other moderators, you are being given an official warning for trolling. This is your third warning since October (though one was retracted.) I’d advise you think very seriously about future posts before you make them. Do not start another thread on this topic again. Thread closed (again.) ---

**Shagnasty** , after a lengthy discussion and resulting moderator consensus, we have decided that your repeated trolling on this subject warrants a topic ban. You are no longer permitted to start threads on the subject of: **your involvement with women, your opinion of women, or romantic/sexual interactions with women** If you start another thread about any of those things, you will be moderated for it. We’ve decided to keep this narrow in scope for now, and it only applies to threads created by you. You are welcome to post on these topics in threads started by other users. However, if your behavior in those threads becomes trollish, we reserve the right to broaden the topic ban as necessary. Thread closed again, again.
