Let us bitterly contemplate our failures

Source?

I lie a lot, I don’t know why. I think it’s just because it’s one of the only things I can do.

haha a cat scratched it and I needed something to bitch about so that I was able to post. lol

I’m experiencing this right now…

I seem to have lost the ability to try when it comes to relationships. I have two girls (not “perfect” girls mind… one is a single mom and the other is a little larger and taller than average) that seem interested in me, and I’ve even taken one out to dinner, but it seems like I cannae even work up the energy to progress things further.

I suppose I can think of a few reasons why not:

A) I don’t know how.
The only relationships i’ve had were in high school, and that was awhile ago. College relationships aren’t super different but they are still different.

B ) I’m not really that into them.
When I fall for a girl I fall hard, and when I don’t fall for a girl I have very little romantic interest in them. The girls I fall for seem fairly random – but they are all exceedingly beautiful in just the right way. Going after these girls has not worked in the past, so I’m trying to ignore my instincts. Boy is that difficult, let me tell ya.

C)I’m Affrraaaaaid.
Rejection is a big thing to me. Its happened so many times that in my mind, one more time and I’m done for. Of course it will hurt alot but my logical mind knows that I wont off myself if I get rejected again. Every time I get put off it takes longer for me to recover, though. Last time it took around 6 months for me to even consider feeling anything for anyone again. It usually about doubles every time, so I fully expect it to take me a year to get over the next failed relationship.

Totally with you, pal.

Maybe you should proceed further with the single mum. She might be more desperate for some action. Of course, she will also likely be looking for a daddy. So you should straighten things out by clearly stating what you want before proceeding further.

If they are both not beautiful enough to meet even your lowest needs, then just forget it. Be friends with them. Of course you should know that the less you are interested, the more interest in you they will likely have. That’s how life works. Tough shit.

seems alot of people are having this problem these days. me too, In fact I didn’t feel much for relationships till just a little while ago a random (pretty) girl at the pool wanted me to “take her for a ride” haha. It’s odd though, cause I wasn’t super concerned about my looks or anything. Just needed the encouragement.

there ARE good looking girls with their eyes on you there havlok, trust me. :slight_smile:

Yeah I just wish girls would be so straight forward towards me, too.

When I was still together with my ex fiance, we sometimes went to University together, and afterwards she always told me:
“Gee, did you notice those girls giving you looks?”

And I was like: “WUT?!”

I NEVER noticed anything like that. I don’t wanna know how many opportunities I have missed by simply not noticing… whew…

On New Years Eve a girl from school called me to say happy new year (I had not heard from her in years), and she seemed to be kinda drunk, cause she confessed to me that she had had a crush on me in school. I remembered her being a hot little chick and was all like: “ZOMFG! NOOO!”
But it got better. One day back in teenage years her best friend (who was also pretty) had invited me over to a sit-in, saying that SHE (the hot girl) was also there. I was too shy to go there all by myself, so I took my cousin with me to back me up. The evening didn’t go as planned, supposedly…
On the phone on New Years Eve that girl told me that back on that party day she had planned to finally hit on me after drinking with me. But due to me taking my cousin with me it all went wrong and she was too afraid to try. Or even try again.

That girl was the hottest piece of ass I could ever have had in my life.

I sincerely wanted to die upon hearing this. After that phone call she never called again. And I was shocked the whole holiday long.

and just letting all know now: nothing ever happend between myself and said girl, because I have people that I know and care about that I would rather be with. (for life)

Just wondering there Danson, It sounds like women in germany are quite different than over here. Here they have lives and faces and pretty much alot of stuff other than just boobs and ass.

I c wut U did thar.

Yeah that sounded pretty sexist, you’re right. Sorry for that. It’s just that she had the most praised bottom of the whole school. Seriously. You know - boys kept lists with what girl had the greatest boobs, the loveliest face, the hottest ass… she had the hottest ass. Boys smiled happily when she was called forth by the teacher to write something on the board. Coz she always wore tight pants. Boy did we worhip her for that…

She also had a lovely face, actually. And was overall very pretty and hot. And intelligent. Smart. Even clever. And incredibly nice.

So nice that most guys didn’t dare come close to her. She was just too perfect. Ever heard of the “no fuckin chance”-syndrome? That was why I never hit on her.

I usually don’t speak about girls in such a sexist manner - dunno what came over me. I never told her what a crush I had actually had on her back in the day.

Don’t mistake me for a sexist - I am rather the opposite in real life.

haha awright, just checking. :stuck_out_tongue:

Time for some more failure.

I decided to watch TNA wrestling on Youtube… See what’s changed since the old days of WCW when I was a kid. I died a little inside.

I’ve never been able to watch more than 30 seconds of pro wrestling consecutively. I like watching autistic meatheads hurt each other and themselves, and I’m willing to set aside my suspension of disbelief to believe they are actually fighting. But as soon as anyone involved with pro wrestling opens their mouth to say something, i instinctively change the channel. It’s literally painful to watch meatheads try to act, even when all they are being asked to do is act angry, which theoretically they should be good at due to the roid rage.

Well, my ex’s brother was doing some (show) wrestling, and while everything is scripted, written out and none of them can act for shit, the “sport” itself actually requires a lot of training, and even though it’s all coordinated, the hits and kicks and drops still hurt your body. So my hats off to them.

But yes, the show itself is just painful to watch.

I actually like watching wrestling.

It’s like watching a really, really, REALLY bad show or movie. So bad and fuckin awkward that you can’t keep yourself from laughing at the stupidity put into it.

Yesterday I saw “Balls of Fury” on TV and couldn’t stop myself from chuckling at the extreme absurdity and utter FAIL in this movie. As it ended, I was like: “Hell yeah, that was the stupidest movie I have ever seen, and it was worth watching it. Every other movie will be awesome now that I’ve seen this shit!”

That’s the same kinda attitude I have towards wrestling. It’s so dumb you just have to love watching it.

Judging by the pictures I’ve seen of you, you are quite good looking (and I usually don’t make men compliments for their looks :wink: )

Internet pictures ≠ real life looks.

They are almost always exaggerated representations of what a person could look like if they were constantly viewed in the same lighting and the best angle.

That’s not to say that CTID isn’t attractive, he very might well be and just have a poor self image. I’m just clarifying the possible discrepancy between internets and IRL.

Meh. The last picture I posted on the “Post Your Pic…” thread was me turning the camera toward me, hitting the shutter button, looking at it, saying “Hey, that wasn’t a total pile of shit.” And here we are.

If you have the money, go to a stylist and give yourself a makeover. Might change not only how other people see you, but also how you see yourself.

Or grow long hair and a beard :3

And score with suicidal metal chicks.
