WHY I SPENT MY SATURDAY ALONE

chix are evul!

Yeah, that was a joke. I'm a decent-looking guy as I'm sure at least half of the populace who insist they aren't really are. So, why am I single?
Actions speak louder than words. I try to amuse people all the time by acting out a non-nspecific satirical character to try and add some message to my entertaining. I imagine that those who would be interested are only so until they see me acting like a moron.
During my last two-day week of school, I decided that it might be nice to lower my guard enough to get a date for Cardiac Day, but of course it didn't pan out as desired. All these normal people need more than two chances to yank a guy around before agreeing to a date. "Well, what about the 'not so normal' ones?" Those people don't go to community colleges.

So, I woulda gone barhopping that day to meet some single ladies, but... Damb my lack of a license!

So, there's always next year. So, in the meantime, I have nothing going on

Maybe this forum should start a personals branch...

I definitely wouldn't mind dating a TMNT fan, ya know?

And, I have this theory... Out of all you humble ladies here, how many of you drink or smoke? Please send your answers in a PM as I'm sure everyone would appreciate the thread staying on topic.
Oh, and I guess if anyone wants to reply to tell me how ugly I must be or anything like that is welcome to it. I like feeling involved in the conversation and not like I'm speaking to hear my own voice... or to read my own font.

Allo.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-16-2004, 06:43 AM

I'm married to my work.

*gobo* · 02-16-2004, 06:50 AM

o_O You a gigolo, Matt? I imagine this must be the busiest time of the year for gigalos...

*The Defibrillator* · 02-16-2004, 08:34 AM

^Hehe.

Yeah, being single doesn't mean you're a loser. Everyone is single at some point, right?

*raphael_is_cool* · 02-16-2004, 12:46 PM

There's some advantages to being single

- Not bending over backwards like a loved-up dork to please the other person

- Not pissing off your friends by being a loved-up dork and thinking only of your partner

- Saving money and time?

You sound like you met my friends before.

They're all like that right now. It's only gotten worse over the past year. And, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but no girls seem interested in participating in my poll.

Do they think I'll cyber-hit on them or something?

j/k

**Kali** · 02-16-2004, 02:52 PM

*sigh* I'll tell you what I really don't like about Valentine's Day.

The whole concept.

One day out of the year when you show the person/people you care about that you care about them. If you ask me, you should do that every single day! I don't want a bouquet of roses once a year, some jewelry once a year, expensive chocolates once a year. I don't want any of that. If people like getting these gifts, yay for you, but not everyone likes getting gifts.

There are several other holidays that run on the concept of appreciating certain people in your life for one day, and I don't like them either. People just get way too stressed out over over-commercialized holidays.

**Machias Banshee** · 02-16-2004, 03:06 PM

Hear hear!

Yeah, there's a lot of holidays like that. Mother's Day, Father's Day... Have people gotten SO busy that they can ONLY do something on THAT Day?! Its crazy!

Jeez, I went to Hannaford the other day and almost got blinded by all the wretched pink. It was like being trapped in the Barbie Aisle!!!

Hehe... That happened to me a month ago when the one store near me started putting out their stuff for Valentine's Day (yes a month early)... I unsuspectingly walked into one of their aisles, when *BAM* pink EVERYWHERE!

I left there and told people I was almost blinded when I walked in there...

Caster_Troy · 02-16-2004, 04:14 PM

So then survey says: V-day sucks. Man, I can't wait for Halloween. Now there's a holiday worth celebrating!

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-16-2004, 05:10 PM

FYI, what we celebrate as "Valentine's Day" today is actually a bastardization of the Roman festival Lupercalia. Look it up if you don't know what I mean

**HorseTechie** · 02-17-2004, 11:50 AM

Hmmm... I don't mind the concept of Valentines Day, really.

Even though the idea of it is to make sure you make your love one known, I just think of it as a way to also give that relationship some time to seriously stop and erflect on it longer than a few minutes. To realize the loved one is not something you take for granted. Sure, one should be cherishing their loved ones everyday of the year... but to be honest, most of the married couples between the age of 30 - 50 will so SOOOOO busy with jobs, and errands, and taking care of the kids an their activities, that doing anything "special" or romantic all the time like they used to when they were young and free is really difficult!

My husband has been working two jobs now for the last 10 days, so I hardly got to see him very much. So it was nice to stop and say "Hay, let's eat out and see a movie" on Sunday, cause we were so busy working like a dog to get the money to pay bills and save up for the rest of our lifes. Mhh...

The one thing I do hate about Valentines though, is the fraggin' commercialism. The way they MAKE you feel like you HAVE to give and/or recieve Valentines, or candy, or flowers, or diamond rings... or Cialis!

Bleah... I'm a total Scrooge in that respect. While I will observe Valentines, I don't bother to hand out Valentines or sutff like that anymore.

Yeah, but you get to scare the sh!t out of little kids while you're at it...

MTN889 · 02-18-2004, 04:43 PM

Hey, I WANT a girlfriend, I don't need one, and I don't need one to be happy. You all want girlfriends just so you can look cool.

Yes, but with costumes and candy that does not come in a cheap, little heart shaped box!!! Oh yeah, and pumpkins. Those things rock!

Well hell, Halloween is as much of a bastardized holiday as Valentines Day when it comes right down to it. But, in the end, what does it matter. I don‘t get pissed off at the Christians and others who celebrate Easter just because they ripped it from my heritage and so forth.
The majority of the ‘holidays’ celebrated now are just some bastardized versions of the originals from way back when.

Have another beer, I say.
