The Curse of the Detroit Lions Posted: 12/31/2008 11:23:58 AM
Ya know,Ya can't blame Matt Millan for the entire problem...Let's hope TO gets Traded to Detroit..TO really knows how to wreck a team...Detroit won't know what HIT them You can't detroy what's already blown up. Bringing in TO would be like the US dropping a second bomb on Nagasaki at the end of WWII. Willy Ford is THE problem in Detroit. The more I hear Mayhew talk though, the more I think that the old man finally hit a decent target with one of his blind dart throws.

Biggest joke in sports Posted: 12/29/2008 3:48:36 PM
For the first time ever I have exactly zero optimism that the Lions will do ANYTHING positive. Before, even under Millen's inept handling of the team, I hoped that they'd get SOMETHING right. Now, just a day after finishing 0-16, and 1 -23 over their last 24 games, William Clay Ford rewards 2 of the stooges who have presided over this embarrassment of a pro team, Martin Mayhew and Tom Lewand, with PROMOTIONS. The smart thing would have been to hire Parcells or Piolli or someone who actually knows what they're doing. A smart GM would be able to take the 5 picks they have in the top 3 rounds and use them to get some building blocks for a good team. Instead, the Lions will be lucky if they have 2 of the players from the upcoming draft on their roster in 3 years. Seriously, is there any team in pro sports run worse that the Lions? I think that even the Raiders and that screwed up mess that Al Davis has them in are in better shape than Detroit. I need a

Why does this happen and what am I doing wrong? Posted: 9/1/2008 7:24:51 AM
First, are you sure that your dates turn into nothing more than booty calls, or is that just your opinion? Second, are you telling the guys that you want to go out and do stuff, or are you just accepting that they come over to your place or you go over to theirs and hop into bed? Third, if you don't like the kinds of guys you're dating, start dating different kinds of guys.

answer time between mails Posted: 8/31/2008 1:00:13 PM
If I don't answer an e-mail when I first get it, I tend to not answer, so I usually answer them when I get them. Every person is different. Some people think that an immediate answer is a sign of neediness or desperation. Some people think that if you've been on-line and haven't answered, you're not that interested.

Do men select women that are… Posted: 8/31/2008 12:55:59 PM
One, it's easier to be with someone who will get along with your family. Two, most people's values are shaped by their parents, and they tend to choose mates who conform to those values. For example, most devout Christians wouldn't date a Wiccan, and liberals tend not to marry conservatives. Then there's that whole Freudian "everyone wants to have sex with their mother/father" thing, which I'm not sure I buy into.

Athletic or A Few Extra Pounds Posted: 8/20/2008 7:19:02 PM
Let's put it this way, you are neither average nor athletic if... you have more than one chin. you have to move your belly to see your toes. you think it's ok to order 2 Big Macs, 3 fries, and an apple pie as long as you get a Diet Coke. you get winded walking up a couple flights of stairs (legit medical conditions excluded). you can't comfortably fit in a theater seat. you've ever claimed to be big boned. your athletic career was over 10 years ago, other than beer league softball. Men and women are both guilty of all of those.

too poor to date? Posted: 8/19/2008 6:17:28 PM
Unfortunately, a lot of women expect to be pampered and spoiled. In general, the better looking they are, the more they expect it because they've always had guys buying them all kinds of things. It's going to take a lot of time to find someone who doesn't mind not spending a lot of money for dates. I'm in the same boat as you are, and so far after the first couple times I've gotten together with someone, if I hadn't spent much money on the dates I never hear from them again even if we had fun.

You f-ed up. He banged you all night because he was pissed. It was an anger f--k, nothing more. You were a moron for driving regardless of whether or not he told you to and that it wasn't a cop. You were equally dumb for putting yourself in a position to kiss someone else. Your state of intoxication was no excuse for it, because you put yourself in that state. He probably doesn't trust you, and with good reason. He night not dumb you, but if he does, learn your lessons and watch how much you drink in the future. Drinking's only bad when you don't know your limits, which you apparently struggle with.

why do men always want sex so early in a relationship? Posted: 8/17/2008 6:24:04 PM
If a guy wants sex right away he's an ass. If he doesn't want sex right away he's either gay, is in need of some viagra or cialis, or has a teeny weenie. Personally, I'd rather be an ass.

New profile equals less interest... Posted: 8/17/2008 12:41:33 PM
For some people, their career needs to come first for them. Some professions like chefs, lawyers, doctors, etc. demand long hours, and those who date or marry them have to be willing to come second. Hell, I just started a job as a cable tech, and there will be nights I won't get done until 9 or 10 at night. It's decent money, but not something I want to do very long. You'll just need to be aware of what kind of hours he puts in, and be honest if you think that you're being relegated to when he has time. The one thing you need to keep in mind is that it's harder to rearrange a schedule or tell a boss that you can't work extra for a new relationship that might end at any moment. I know that if I've only been seeing someone a short time I'd be less likely to potentially piss off my boss than I would if it was someone I had been seeing for a few months and I knew it was a solid, committed relationship and she wasn't going to bail because she met my friends for the first time and didn't like them, or something equally trivial.

Not many women meet your criteria of being able to discuss foreign policy and baseball. You might want to make yourself sound less picky if you want more responses. A better picture might help too. Regardless of what some women claim, they're interested in looks as much as most guys are.

To be honest, you sound kind of needy and demanding. It should be understood that if you're dating someone that you'd be willing to make sure you have time for them. Stating it the way you do makes you sound either bitter about guys not spending enough time with you or that you expect to be #1 in their lives at all times. Sometimes you need to do what you have to in order to keep your job or get ahead. Personally, I wouldn't want to get involved with someone who likely wouldn't support me in my career if it meant not spending a lot of time with her as long as it wasn't an issue that would be long term.

Too much stuff? Posted: 8/17/2008 10:00:16 AM
Why wait when I'm ready? We've been separated over a year, and it should have been finalized 2 months ago. My son had an appointment with a specialist (he has cerebral palsy) on the day of our original court date and we had to choose between postponing the doctor for 6 months or the court for 3-4 months. We're working together, but she had already paid a retainer for a lawyer so we decided to use one to help facilitate it. The lawyer's horrible and has caused some delays by not wording things the way we told her to, and my ex got confused a couple of other times and had her rewrite something that was right, which has caused even more delays. I guess I don't see the big deal about 2 months either way when there is zero chance of reconciliation, but if you don't want to date a separated person, that's your right.

Olive Oil is technically still a virgin. She calls her vagina "Spinach" just to get Popeye's attention. On a more serious note... a virgin is anyone who hasn't had sex. A guy who says that men can't be virgins is a moron. And extra virgin olive oil is the first pressing of the olives, virgin is the second, IIRC.

Men don't. Boys do sometimes. It's to make themselves look better to the other boys. I agree with Chodie about the generalizations. How would you like daily posts about why all women are gold diggers, or why all women think they're so much better than others because they think they're hot?

It's been a year, and I had my rebound relationship already. I have no intentions of going back with my ex, and she's given up on the idea too. I'm not going to be getting married right away, but I'm to the point where I wouldn't be opposed to meeting someone I could marry in a couple years. I'm kind of on the fence with saying I'm divorced when it's not final. I'm generally pretty honest even when the truth hurts, and fudging details like that can come back at bite you right square on your sit-down parts.

If the KHL takes off, it might mean a future unification of the two. Of course, with the whining some east coast teams do about traveling to the west coast, I can just about imagine the crying about flying to Moscow for a game. I don't know what they'd do about the travel times for the Cup Finals between a US team and a Euro team. But yes, starting the regular season outside of North America is bull. All it does is cheat the fans of the teams that go over.

RE: forum post-That was in response to a woman who spent 3 pages complaining that her boyfriend hadn't tried to have sex with her because she really wanted to sleep with him, then said "he tried and I turned him down." It's more irritation at women who say they want one thing and then complain when they get it, or want to play games like that. How do you deal with the separation thing? It's obviously temporary, and I just got a letter with a final court date of Oct 14. I know there's an issue with "still married" but I don't want to lie about it either. Thanks for the advice. I fixed some of the stuff, and what I didn't I think is important to get out in the open.

men who pay child support Posted: 8/16/2008 2:46:21 PM
I didn't read all 5 pages, so if I'm parroting someone else, I apologize. Some women don't want a guy who pays out child support because they're selfish, and money that goes to an ex-wife/baby mama means that there is less money available for him to buy her stuff. Some women don't want to deal with having an ex in the picture for the duration of their relationship. Some aren't gold-digging whores and are realistic enough to acknowledge that a lot of single guys over a certain age do have a child with another woman. I''d suggest skipping the first 2 types and focusing on type 3, although they do seem to be by far the minority of single women.

Step 1- Call him and apologize, and do something to show him that you really do care about him. Step 2- If he says he's done, leave it. Don't keep calling. If he still wants to see you, do NOT say it will never happen again, because it probably will. Tell him you're working on the issue. Step 3- Talk to a counselor/shrink/clergy member or someone else about it, and keep going back until you ahve the issue resolved as much as you can.

High Maintenance Woman Posted: 8/11/2008 7:52:55 PM
Ok guys... What the attaction to whiney, needy, ****y women? I see it all the time and just don't get it. There's something to be said about the thrill of the chace, but I've met more men who talk about ex's that refused to work and have seen women literally pout and throw drinks at their guy for no reason, and THEY PUT UP WITH IT.... I even know some guys who detach from their friends but still allow their woman to go out with the girls while they stay home.... It's like the scene from French Kiss where Meg Ryan's man leaves her for the pouty French girl.... Seriously....what's the draw here??? I am an independent woman, sometimes to a fault, but I don't consider that a drawback. I don't want to be coddles or catered to. I truly want to find someone to SHARE my life with, not someone to take care of me. Sure, I would LOVE to have a man who was thoughtful and did nice things like wash my car while he was out and plan a special suprise or two. One who'd enjoy finding a cold beer on the sink for after his hot shower after work and a surprise ticket to the game... Talk about nice guys finishing last.... I often think I'm too nice. Maybe I need to pull the pouty, whiney act, but it's just NOT ME!!! So SERIOUSLY...can you guys explain???? I love you. Marry me. All kidding aside, it's the same reason women like the guys they know are going to treat them like dookie. People are f-ed up.

Men jumping in, in the beginning of a relationship Posted: 8/11/2008 7:43:36 PM
You can't say "guys do it for this reason" any more than you can say that "women do X because of Y." Every guy will have a different reason. If I'm into a woman, I'll call and/or e-mail her at least once a day, even early in a relationship. I like to let her know I'm thinking about her and want to communicate with her. Sex is good, but it's not my goal. Other guys I know do it because they think it'll get a woman into bed quicker. Saying "guys do it to get a girl into bed" screws me because that's not my intention, but because that was another guy's goal, every time someone does that a woman thinks that every guy is only trying to get some Boom-chika-wah-wah. How would you feel about someone saying "women are only looking for guys to buy them stuff" because their last 3 girlfriends were gold diggers?

Why guys want to meet right away? Posted: 8/8/2008 8:13:58 PM
Because we're tired of women with "average" "athletic" (looking like a beach ball doesn't mean you're athletic) or "thin" bodies weighing as much as we do, and the "32 year old" meaning how old they were when we graduated high school 15 years ago. We're also tired of women wanting to just talk on-line for months and then deciding that we're better off just being friends or meeting some other guy at a bar or somewhere. 2-3 e-mails, 2-3 IMs/phone calls, then meet. After that I'm moving on. If you want to meet after that and I'm free, I'll consider it, but I'm not going to wait for you to decide you want to meet me without looking for someone less paranoid. What's the big deal about meeting? You meet in a public place, drive separate, and let people know what's going on. Have a friend call after an hour or two to make sure everything is ok. If you met a guy at a friend's party and liked him, would you insist on a month of e-mails and phone calls before getting together for a one-on-one date? Of course not, it's stupid. On-line shouldn't be much different.

Document EVERYTHING she says or does, and keep the court informed. That is not a good situation for your child to be in, and I would immediately make sure that he is not around her unsupervised. She may or may not be serious about killing herself, but if she does do it she may decide to take him with her, or just plain kill him to get to you. Honestly, the best thing you can do is try to support her as much as you can without getting emotionally involved, but your son's safety and your safety have to come before anything else.

Vancouver Canucks the most under-rated team in the NHL Posted: 8/6/2008 3:43:51 PM
You must be kidding. The Canuckleheads lost 2 of their top 6 forwards, finished last a weak NW division, and have a weak group of d-men. They aren't even close to being underrated. BTW, Demitra will only score 50 if he can actually play a whole season, and 70 points each from your 2 best forwards isn't that much production. Detroit has 6 or 7 guys who could hit 60 or 70, depending on their ice time.

why all the mixed signals? Posted: 8/6/2008 3:37:02 PM
Because a lot of women lose interest the instant a guy appears to be genuinely into her. Once he stops acting aloof, at least occasionally, he becomes either too nice, too easy to alk over, or too needy. I'm not saying that you do it, or that all women do, but at least 80% of the women I've been interested in have played that game. BTW, women can play the hot/cold game too.

Some women like it too. It's just a "thing." Might as well ask why some people like anal sex, or titty f--ks. I think it has something to do with her being a "dirty" or "bad" girl. You know the old saying, Betty Crocker in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
