Ladies: never discuss potential interests to us guys
Posted: 1/13/2007 1:01:57 AM
She's an idiot..she is playing headgames. She did that, simply bc she is addicted to the attention and also, at the same time, she likes to appear " hot " and basically " sought after "...so she did it in front of you, ever so tackily, as part of game playing. She wanted to see how you would react and instead of the jealous rage she probably wanted you to display ( to stroke her stupid ego ), it did the opposite as in disgust you, instead.

Larwilliams, instead of your wisdom and advice, maybe you should read a book on how to hold a woman's attention. I mean, what are you, a farkin sage? I am one of 'us guys', and let me assure you, you are NOT my representative, ok?
Whatever man, I never want to be representing guys who's only ability when they see something they don't agree with, is to lash out.

by the way, I have no problems keeping a ladies' attention. If anything, i'm usually spoiled with it. As an example, I had a nice latino-type cutie approach me last night at guys night out. We chatted for quite some time, she bought me a drink, and asked to dance. Obviously, I held her attention well. Could've taken her home, but that's not what I am looking for right now.

I am far from being a "farkin sage". But I do think my appearance and personality generally get me more leeway and attention than I truly deserve.

I'd say your right. I've had girls who are generally ****y and demanding to everyone they meet, literally meltdown and become nice to me because I cut them down and made it obvious I wouldn't tolerate BS.

I wasn't lashing out. It was a request for you to take your hand off it. You are self indulgent, long winded, and boorish. Didn't they invent blogs for people to express their wonder at themselves?
And if you didnt' mean 'us guys', don't put it in your title, der. Try 'never discuss potential interests to guys who think like me'!

I don't care what anyone says - answering a cell phone during a date of any kind is just RUDE!

Whether it's a call, or a text, or logging onto POF, it's insulting!

Talking about POF experiences could be ok - just what has gone on, funny stories, cool people you hang out with - but other 'potentials' again.. just insulting!

And vice versa. OP I agree with everyone... she is tactless and not worth the time to even start a thread on her. But it does go both ways.

I was out on a third date with a man. Dinner at his house... all was going great...candles, wine, great ambiance. Over dinner we were laughing and sharing cyber dating stories. All of a sudden he says... "OMG today I was on Match and saw a woman that just wowed me. Everything about her just did it for me" He went on to say that he sent her a wink but didn't think anything would come of it because she lived too far away. Hello...date sitting across the table here!!! The man just couldn't understand why I was ticked.

This is just a recent personal experience from last evening that I think might be good for some girls to hear. I met a cool girl last night and mostly had a good time hanging with her. However, for whatever reason, she picks up her cell phone, logs into POF and starts talking about guys who have contacted her recently.


There are a few ways to interpret this. In any combination of the following:

1) She's not 'in' to you
2) She is trying to get the 'competetive' side of you to come out
3) She is dumb as a button and has no dating etiquette
4) She has no class

On a dead end {The other people ploy}:

If I was to talk about my any of my ex's or other relationships; although interesting, they are connection killers. It is no different for women. Period.
Unless they are dating illeterate, it is a not so subtle way of chasing someone off.
Some things you just don't do on a date. That is unless you are trying to put an end to future dates.
She might find you fun to hang out with but she might not see a 'relationship' there. This being the case you get to wear the dreaded 'Big Brother' label. Good luck removing it. It's harder to remove than crazy glue and all women subconsiously see it. Your dating life may never be the same again...

On Distractions{Re: the phone}:

Unless she has kids or a really important job, the phone should be off. Same goes for any man. It means that they are giving you their undivided attention. And for the love of god, turn off the text messenging. It counts as a phone call.
I was on a date and this chick was on the blasted phone pretty much every 10 min guaranteed. People constanly Calling/IM/Texting her and of course her reply. It was like I took her whole world on a date. Needless to say I never called her for a second date.
Technology has a place... Not at the dinner table, a theatre and certainly not on a date.

We're cool.. even though I have learned alot in my young life, there is still yet much to be learned obviously. Hence why I am here.

I never intend to express wonder in myself. If anything, I am quite surprised at the attention I get. By traditional standards, I would be considered ugly as f*ck.

And boorish? why do you think that??

Wow.. that is bad. I would personally never discuss other girls (outside of friends) on a date. Just disrespectful towards the date itself.

Well you know, personally I don't think people should tell other people what to do so I would describe
"Ladies: never discuss potential interests to us guys"
as boorish.
Having said that I would like to end this discussion with a hug and a beer larwilliams so
From now on I will be nice and sweet okay, cause I like it better that way. You have your way, I have mine, that is the way it is

I used to do this when I was younger.

It was nothing personal. I was just chit chatting about what was on my mind.

No need to be nice and sweet with me, friend. Lord knows I find it hard to be nice and sweet myself, seeing the sh*t myself and my boys are expected to put up with sometimes. If you were here, i'd buy you a drink and learn from ya.

... all i can say is, it's common courtesy and COMMON sense to ignore the cell, the pager and EVERYTHING during a "date", casual visit, ANYTHING!

MANY people men/women need to learn common courtesy. Oh man, next man that looks at his cell and/or text messages while with me is GOING DOWN boys down... ha ha ha ha
