Two year rule... Did I make it up?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I won’t date a guy with contact lenses. Either wear glasses, or dont (but you must wear them if you need them) I’ve dated two guys who wore them, the whole… “but I cant stay over because I need to soak my lenses” and the “Damn you bought the wrong kind of saline!” (when hey, I was doing you a favour…) thing just turns me off…

Also I wont date boy nurses, I work with them, they have this whole “Im still masculine” thing to get through and its boring…

Other than that… Im pretty accepting. Ive dated older younger different religions different races, different time zones and socio-economic backgrounds. Nothing fazes me exept the contact lenses and the boynurse thing.

My parents are a year a month and a day apart in age… 35 years and they still kiss in parkinglots!

Sorry I didn’t mean to double post…

one more thing…

I always ask a guy if he would eat a beetle on a 30 dollar bet. If he says yes, or if he says no, or if he asks some sort of defining question, thats ok… If he tells me thats a stupid question my next comment is “Check please!”

Well, I don’t think RPGs are very important any more in the world of ATGWs, or PGWs in general. My rules would be:

She must be able to field-strip, blindfolded, AKs, HKs, AR-15s, Chinese copies and the Singapore series.

She must be familiar the various classes of 40mm launcher ammo, and not be likely to get them mixed up.

She must consistently group 3" or less at 100 yards (offhand or bipod, I’m not picky)

Now, do you understand why I’m single?

Am I reading Hippocrates right?
He’s not just a big box for storing large semi-aquatic mammals, is he?

I must say, damn I’m good at making nerdy firearms references sound risque. Field-strip, blindfolded? I had myself in stitches over that one.

I bet you can still see why I’m still single.

Seriously, though, my dating rules would be more like:

Must be attractive. This rule is first, but not foremost. The first thing I notice about women IRL is the way they look. If they look like a haddock, sorry, no, let’s be friends. But I find most women between 20 and 40 (et al.) to be atractive, so it’s not a big barrier.

Must be interesting and interested. Giggles lose points. She’d better be smart/masochistic enough to be interested in all the kooky ideas I generate. Preferably, she’d also be smart enough to help me sort the kooky-but-great ideas from the kooky-and-stupid ideas. Preferably well-educated.

Must not have any odious personal habits. Tobacco is the big one, but gum-snapping, seismic belching, and torturing small rodents would all be grounds for immediate failure.

Must not hold everything I do wrong against me. I do a lot of stuff wrong. I still can’t quite get the soap suds off the dishes I hand wash. It’s not because of an abiding disrepect for the female sex.

Must not be extremely demonstrative with emotions. There’s nothing wrong with the stereotypically Italian (I have Italian-American relatives, I know the stereotype and its limitations) habit of hand-waving and voice-raising, but I can’t handle the foot-stomping, slapping-self-in-forehead, shouting style of communication. I’ve tried it before, in a relationship with a very nice, smart, sensible Italian-American. Didn’t work; she just about wore me out every time we talked about anything serious.

hmmm…tough one.

i have no standards. i’m as loose as the day is long. lol

alive. that’s what i require.

actually, i like what somebunny up there said…it seems wrong to have an expectation for what a person should measure up to. rather, it would seem, that love is whimsical and true love isn’t about meeting somebody’s checklist…it’s about loving the things about a person that DON’T meet the checklist. or something. okay, so i am not very eloquent. all i know is that both times i have been in love - i swore up and down that neither was my “type” for the first few weeks. somehow, i fell madly anyway. of course, since those relationships didn’t last, it would seem obvious that perhaps next time i should go for my “type” and maybe that one will last. and what’s more - we weren’t even talking about love - we were talking about dating.

like i said - for a date, my initial requirement is that he (or she) be alive.

whew

I don’t know if you made up the two-year rule or not. But, I have followed that in the past. I think it all depends on the ages of those people involved. For instance: the two year difference between a college senior (me) and a college sophomore (whoever) can be quite great in terms of life experience, maturity, etc. However, for those who no longer can be classified by class-standing, two years doesn’t amount to any more than a hill of beans.
