Ouch.

I’ve fucked things up before, and I’ve fucked things up with girls before, but jesus christ this hurts like a motherfucker. I haven’t remembered feeling like this, even in high school. It’s like I want to punch myself in the face.

What the fuck?

…well, if it’s bad enough that you slide into a decade-long stint of celebacy, we can talk. And, at that time, I’d say to you, time to get fucked. And you’d get fucked. And maybe you’d find love, have a kid, and yet still, in silent moments, suddenly say, what the fuck?! I speak from experience. I mean, ya, what the fuck!!! Whatever… :confused:

… okay im done.

Boolyah! I knew that whole experience would finally pay off sometime!! :laughing:

Physical exercise and time. Oh, and resist the urge to date someone else right away.

With the emphasis on “right away”.

Just wait for the train, ity, it will eventually get to you During that time, take a good look around and laugh at everything and everyone you see. It does pass the time. And be sure before you board, you know exactly where that train is going and make sure you have enough to pay the price of the ride. Also, ask yourself “Is this where I want to go”?

and here… :romance-kisscheek:

sigh

this is bad. i can’t even bear to look at other girls right now.

…and no, i’m not crossing the fence.

Sometimes, It, you just gotta get on with things…

Yeah, trying.

If there’s an upside to all of this, I’ve discovered so many new bands to listen to.

Poor ity, if he resorts to this, he’s really going down into the abyss.

If I were you tab, I’d stay out of it.

hmm the thought just occurred to me, tab, is this the way you deal with your existential nothingness?

It looks like the guys are getting ready to drown these things…perhaps they’re ready for the real thing. :laughing: :laughing:

Well, I used to have some great existential nothingness, but then the kids came along and ruined it all. The two aren’t compatable apparently.

That’s quite, intentionally or unintentionally, funny. “Abyss” is the company that makes those really expensive, and scarily lifelike, realdolls™.

Yes, yes, I shouldn’t know that but I do. :shifty:

I’m sitting here laughing like a fool…ah, what a catharsis. I think that kids can both cause us existential nothingness, and also, yes, rid us of it. I pray with you it will always be the latter.

I had no idea that abyss was the company… and that is what had me laughing. Perhaps i am a bit psychic and that picture really is very funny.

And I can almost picture you at the moment you were drowning yours and became emancipated, in a matter of speaking. :wink: Poor tab…and look what you have to show for finally letting “her” go…beautiful.

Ok thread closed, the HQ has been retaken.

Yes, women and children ruin everything. That’s why I’m avoiding both these days…

Fabi,

Can i shake you? You don’t see things dualistically at all do you, my dear?

Women and children – or in my case, men and children can make life very well living.

Dive into those water, Fabi…you might be surprised where you will come out. Just be sure to swim.

That doesn’t make women easier to deal with my dear…I’m keeping distance from your gender these days for…personal reasons.

Where is UR by the way? That guy knows women much better than anyone else here. He would surely give It (and me) some useful advice on this subject…

Oh, okay, then it will be the blind leading the blind. But that’s okay. Fabi, are you you drinking at the moment?

Ur if at some point you read this, don’t be upset with me - you know I always liked and respected you.

But you and Fabi had better watch out for those potholes and gutters.

Fabi, better still, what are you drinking at the moment? :banana-dance:

Ps. Unless you were thinking of Aiden and that would have been Nah giving him all of that so-called good adviceon girls and dating. Remember? Maybe that’s who/what you are remembering.

Here’s my 2 cents, for what it’s worth…

First of all, most people don’t know anything about attracting the opposite sex, which can be frustrating. I went from one extreme to the other, so I know both sides of the fence.

Here’s the deal. Even when I was at the top of my game (and I won’t go into details, but I was satisfied with what I was getting), there would still be women who rejected me. It’s difficult not to take it personally, but sometimes, it’s just not personal.

I don’t know how long your relationship was. It’s funny, because society and the film/TV industry have somewhat demonized the entire “It’s not you, it’s me,” line. But you have to realize that this can be 100% true. You can really appreciate somebody who has amazing qualities, and at the same time realize that you find different qualities than what they possess important.

For instance, one person might be more focused on family than career. Or maybe one person wants somebody they can talk philosophy with because they love it, while another couldn’t give a flying **** if their partner wants to talk philosophy, even though they love it.

The entire dating process is to figure out what is most important to you in a mate, and a mutual understanding that the process is the same for the other person. And trust me, it’s better to have somebody break it off with you because they know you’re not exactly what they’re looking than it is for that person to settle and marry you, then only half love you for the rest of their life.
