The Opposite Sex: you thought __ was a clear sign of interest. It wasn't.

Really, Rex? I thought it was nitpickery that the SDMB was best at.

Oh, it’s not like I care. “It was long ago in a far country, and besides the wench is dead.”

There could be a hundred reasons he let go of you, but you assumed “apparently I am terrible at sex.” He could be embarrassed at something he did wrong, and didn’t satisfy you. Just move on. By the way, nobody’s great at sex the first time.

Speak for yourself. I was a star. A bright, shining star.

I see it this way. If you are a total innocent, an absolute beginner, you may have a chance. If you know even a little bit about the way things are, well, then, forget it. You know even less than the total innocent.

Mindfulness will only hurt you until you are in close to total control of yourself - the practiced playa. Until then, you know less than nothing, and you have less than zero control of the situation. You do not fit into nature’s plan: there is no niche for you.

After visiting her at her apartment for about 2 hours, she asked me if I wanted to spend the night. Upon getting into bed I realized she meant to sleep, nothing else.

Coulda fooled me!

Part of me, a very disturbed part, wonders what effect that would have on my inflammatory bowel disease. I suspect I’d be cured. Temporarily, at least.

Well, we can always find out. Go to your window tomorrow at 1930 Greenwich & stand with your mouth open for thirty seconds; that should be long enough for the insertion. If you survive we can publish a paper on it. (You’ll write the paper, of course, and be listed as junior researcher.)

Yes, in the sense that you’d have no bowels to be inflamed.

We haven’t done the research yet. We only know that in in sharks, toads, crocodiles, penguins, ostriches, platypuses, mice, rats, pigs, tarsiers, gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, the acid-excreting tapeworms destroy all internal organs in no more than six hours, depending on the size of the research subject, and leave the subject to screaming in agony during the period before death. But humans might react differently. We’ll know better once the trials are concluded

Why do you hate science, RNATB? Why?

I have a good one: This girl had sex with me a few times and I slept over at her place a few times. I thought she wanted a relationship.

No, she just wanted a NSA hookup. TOTALLY misread that one!

If I can withstand one of your acid-excreting tapeworms, what makes you think I am going to settle for being listed as the junior researcher, the fact that I’m younger than you?

Also, I apparently stood at the wrong window, because after about 5 minutes I heard a thumping sound behind me and looked to see a tapeworm (or the remains thereof) slithering down my east-facing window.

I’m sorry. Guys are screwed in the head.

:wink:

I read that as National Security Agency hookup at first. Like, she was screwing you for a job offer.
