Sweetheart, you lost me at "drunk driving"

I’d dispute ‘vast majority’ but even if so, what’s the big deal? Are you guys seriously looking for ‘shallow’? Of course, this assumes this thread is about finding a partner (which I also assumed the OP might be thinking about) rather than just a warm body to squirm around with.

Granted, if you’re about quantity rather than quality, that may be the case. But how dull.

Yeah, fair enough. If his first words to you on the date were about scoring “pussy” with his car, frankly he deserves all the upbraiding he can get. TokyoPlayer is right on the money about that.

But if a guy mentioned his plans to buy an expensive car without the kind of crude attitude the OP talked about, and was told that he should spend his money in other ways instead, I’d think it was preachy. Sure, charity and investments are worthy things to talk about, but not as a rebuttal to someone’s perceived skewed priorities.

But I like the fact that the OP put this shmuck in his place.

Okay, I jumped around heifer.org for a bit. Still don’t know what an ark of livestock is. Which seems to indicate that you have to be pretty deep into this thing to think of arks of livestock when you have 50K to spend.

I’m a nice guy, polite, strong work ethic, funny, safety conscious, honest, I rarely drink, don’t smoke, hold my farts whenever possible, and I own a $30,000 car which has been restored with no intent (or ability) to attract women. Still…

…makes me think it is my normal-sized nose which is my curse.

I’ve got bad news for you, but yes many, many young men are purely looking to get laid as often as possible. We tend to grow out of it, but really don’t pretend that this is somehow a revelation. And it’s not just men who are that shallow, as frankly I managed to get laid on many an occasion, and mostly that was because I wore fashionable clothes, drove a nice car, worked out and basically relied on many other silly little factors that a lot of women seemed to go for.

Yes it’s shallow, but there you go. I have no idea why men like to do this, but judging by how many of us go through a stage like that either there’s something in the water, or the media makes us desire it, or it’s genetic, or we’re all terribly insecure and trying to validate ourselves, or god knows what - but rolling your eyes at Deth just because he states the obvious is just kidding yourself.

Nope, quite often gratuitous sex was anything but dull. I know that we’d like to think that people who get laid a lot all have a deep hollowness inside that mere copulation with as many attractive people as you can get your paws on, but frankly from ages 17 - 27 I found it all incredibly satisfying and interesting. Seriously, why would you find lots of sex dull?

What kind of porn?

Didn’t you get the memo? People with nothing better to do with their time than post to the Dope a hundred times a week are in the perfect position to lecture other people about quality of life. :smiley:

phouka, if the guy had used the word ‘pillock’ in any context, would you have jumped his bones?

And, can you really buy a house of any kind in Plano for $150K? I bought a house in Plano (1705 Judy Lane IIRC) for $14.5K back in 1962; back in the 80s and 90s, customers of mine from the Plano area threw around figures in the $300 to $500K range for that specific address.

Actually, you just have to look in the catalog, although I note there aren’t as many details in the online one. Basically, you give Heifer.org five grand, and they send a metric shitload of farm animals to someplace poor.

(there are smaller donation amount for smaller things, too, starting with the $40 for a flock of geese/ducks)

Sweetheart, you lost me at “fart-holding”. :smiley:

Zeriel: Yeah, I figured that much out. But how many animals in an ark? What’s the benefit to the recipient? And all like that. Seems a bit presumptuous to list arks of livestock along with houses and retirement funds, as if they’re all equally obvious choices.

Naw, Quiddity Glomfusters right. Theres a level of maturity where sex with a dull person IS dull.

There’s no denying that many, many girls will sleep with a guy with a 50K car. But we (normally) don’t marry those guys. :slight_smile:

However, there are a percentage of girls who will go entirely the opposite way and not sleep with you at all if you are too flashy.

What a great line.

Sometimes one 5 (on the keeper scale) is better than zero tens.

Two of each, silly. :wink:

You are one funny chick, did ya know that? :slight_smile:

Awww, shucks! Thanks.

Naked drunk guys driving Ferraris, I bet. phouka’s not fooling anyone!

Do you mean physically or mentally?

I have a 7-year old truck. Good thing I’m already hooked up!

Where’s the downside? :stuck_out_tongue:
