You cannot.
Either way, lost cause. Everyone around here knows who Tessie's lapdog is. You guard your dear Tessie's colon when he is surrounded by evil monsters that wish to pole him.
And, before someone else attempts to rope me with this. I will admit to the possibility that subconsciously, I dislike DeCapprio (See I even used his real name rather than deCappacino) for similar reasons. Although, honestly, I don't know what I could see in him that reflects myself. Or vice versa. But, I must admit to the possibility. These things are often kept from our own eyes before all others. Our most brutal need is to defend ourselves by whatever means necessary. And lying to oneself is easily accomplished.
Well, at first I thought this would be the thread to post this in, but now............(cringe) I am not sure. Oh heck, only live once.
Men are players. I met a guy at a different forum, he seemed nice. Always using words like beautiful, honey, sweet heart, compliments left, right and center. Well, to make a long story short, we started to get a little too close. One night he screws around with my head. I am almost ready to leave my well established life behind, walk away from everything and join him in his country. Well, luckily he didn't. I walked around dazed and confused for about 5 days and my normal defense mechanism kicks in. Pull a prank, laugh it off and relieve the tension. He freaks. Well considering he is the one who screwed with my head in the first place, I had a certain attitude (ya, you know the one). After a few days he tries to PM me. I was cold. He tells me his attitude was a return prank. I did not respond the way he wanted to. He is now playing another female in the same site.
This could be why woman think men suck.

Gendanken,
You said Desi!! How cute.
But I'm afraid that most of us aren't able anymore to think in terms of such dark logic. It is too simple for us.
Yes, exactly.
... and this is how the word "relative", that first meant 'being inter-connected, inter-dependant' began to mean 'worthless, useless'. I try to avoid the word "relative" for this precise reason.
Wait till you hear more of them!
Won-dah-ful.
Technicality: By "ink" do you mean like ink pen, the old classical type, or do you mean other writing utensiles? Damn, but these techincalities are important. I like my notes to look nice. Colourful. But the pens I can buy here either have a too weak colour, or the ink is too strong and goes through the paper. Uh.
Notes from my studies; now, it is informal logic, the subversity of rational thought, English grammar, and a journal.
What can I do? Do you think me a fraud?

A propos Tessie: I think I am something like a Tessie killer. Everytime I show up in his thread or a thread where he posts, he runs.
Truth be told, I haven't done it many times, I even deliberately avoid him (I tell myself I shouldn't pick on people), so it is likely that it is not me who is the reason for his departure.
But so far, the deal was always so: He said something, I replied, he replied, I replied -- and puffff, out he was.

I've heard 1 in 10 are receptive.
*shrug*
I just don't have the stomach for the 9 rejections.
I've tried bring direct in night clubs.
"Would you be offended if I asked if I could kiss you" and other cheesy lines.
It worked only once, possibly because she was intoxicated.
I'm not too bad looking, but I am socially incompetant!
As for the rejections it's like water off a ducks back when you go in expecting nothing.
Wow after 16 pages we begin to have personal stories return. Bravo! Hopefully you won't mind us tearing you apart with our analytical wit.

Pity for those that can't. Simplicity is a virtue. And complex structures can be made from simple concepts. Fractals for instance. With such simple things we can build castles that will stand strong for quite some time. Whereas those who prevail to higher powers build fancy constructions of winding, tortuous thought. But, they stand only because of their incomprehensibility. People who attempt to grapple them into submission are impressed by the difficulty in doing so and attribute this difficulty in comprehension to some kind of truth.
Simplicity, Rosa. Simplicity.
Perhaps I can. For the most part, my experiences have shown that women do not like directness. (Please go to page 11 and read [post=632978]this[/post] post. It says much about why indirectness may not be a bad thing in some ways. And at the same time it is.) But, anyway, women don't like to be confronted so directly when it comes to such things. They like to be given the option of a back door. Of a pretending not to see. Being overly direct offends this need for escape and offends the woman (this is a basic human trait not only women.)
But, I have had recent experience with a woman who did respond well to directness. She had been accosted many times by many men in many ways. Poetically, emotionally, logically, double entendres galore. She had grown weary of this indirectness. This saying by not saying. She had become quite bitter whole process. And lo, I come along and begin a friendship with her. I share with her things about myself and she shared with me things of herself. It was all quite simple and direct. There was some indirect flirtations and the like, but these were generally joking in nature and not truly meant to be taken as indirectness. She really warmed up to me, I must say. A simple, direct approach sparked a respect in her that others failed to achieve in their duplicity. A purity, she calls it. An honesty. A simplicity. Sometimes, when a person is able to delve into their hidden nature. When a person does not wish to lie to themselves, to continue the lying to the self that we are taught since childhood, since the womb. Sometimes, with these wonderful people, directness is the key. It is unfortunate that these people are few and far between. I wish I knew more people like her. She has inspired me greatly. And, I think I inspire her somewhat as well.

How darest thou speakest against my masterful use of the english language!?!
Cmon, Wes, Break with the story of WesMorrisChick. Tell us how you got into her pants the first time. Was it through direct of indirect methods? To which method does she respond better now?
