Matt Ryan especially. Everyone figured he would have a very rough season given how bad the Falcons were supposed to be. Also add in Chris Johnson (RB) to the stellar rookies discussion. That little guy is already an elite RB.

Let the games begin 2008 - 2009 NFL Football
Posted: 10/24/2008 2:30:23 PM
Dallas is going to get dominated by Tampa Bay. The Bucs are actually really good. Their defense and running game are stellar and Garcia doesn't make many mistakes. Dallas is looking at a 4-4 record after Sunday.

More or less intelligent?
Posted: 10/23/2008 10:39:01 AM
I'd pick about equal intelligence, but since that isn't an option I'd say more intelligent than me would be my preference. I like healthy civil debates about things and with people lacking on the intuition/intelligence side those can get lame real fast.

I don't like explaining current events, politics, or other basic knowledge about what is going on in the world to people either. People need to actually open up a newspaper or a book every now and then and take some interest in the world they live in, not just their little bubble of existence.

Where do I start???
Posted: 10/13/2008 10:49:48 AM
First off, guys do like it when a girl makes a first move...as long as that move doesn't end up clingy or anything. More conservative guys might get turned off by a girl that is a little aggressive, but most guys will welcome it.

As far as dealing with a small town and not knowing anyone...start off by making some girl friends. Then they can show you the ins-and-outs of the dating scene in your town. You can goto the best bars with them and meet their friends (of which you might find a good guy). If your town has a shopping center with clothing stores (or whatever stores are more female oriented) go there and just strike up conversations with people and you will meet girls that you get along with.

Loss of interest or too comfortable?
Posted: 10/13/2008 10:43:58 AM
I think he had his relationship between yourself and him built up via the non-face-to-face communication (IM/phone) to be 'perfect'. You each showed eachother your best sides while talking on IM/phone and he probably a bit too much on cloud-nine about how well everything was going.

Then your first fight happens and his whole built-up idea of you being 'perfect' is put to the test and he is having problems realizing that spending actual time with someone never is the same as just talking online or on the phone where people can mask issues or just ignore sides of themselves that they know are not attractive.

I think you should ask him about why the change in attitude and that you want to work through whatever is bothering him. If he says 'nothing is wrong' and continues to be aloof to you, then I'd chalk this whole thing up to just misplaced expectations that turned out to be more frill than substance.

I think the Dodgers should have made Bartman a special consultant to the team and had him sit in the Dodgers dug-out and just give the evil eye to every Cubs pitcher/batter until they choked. Man that would be funny.

The most overrated team so far this year in the NFL.
Posted: 10/3/2008 8:17:13 AM
I think Brady's injury all but proves that he is the best QB in the NFL. Eventhough the Pats lost a few key defensive players they still had practically the same offense they had last year. Brady definitely earns his paychecks when you see how he had that elite offense perform compared to how it is without him.

IM Etiquette
Posted: 10/2/2008 11:36:13 AM
Common sense and courtesy is always appreciated with IMs in general (not just on this site), but to list out an etiquette for IMing is kind of lame. The internets are serious business.

Will you be my girlfriend?
Posted: 10/1/2008 8:46:09 AM
I haven't heard of that line working since like 1955. These aren't the days where you ask someone to be your girlfriend or "go steady" with you after the first time you meet them.

Maybe he is really bad at expressing himself in a smooth way, but even so, obviously that isn't your style so you are right to feel weird about that.

If I were you, I would look elsewhere.

Posted: 9/30/2008 11:22:05 AM
The Patriots surely haven't played like they were expected to play but when your one-of-a-kind QB goes down in game 1, I think everyone gives them a pass this season.

I don't think the Giants are overrated...in fact most experts were saying how this year they would barely make the playoffs before the season started. And right now they are on top of the NFC East, so they were actually underrated.

My overrated teams so far:
Colts
Browns
Chargers

Odd dating requests...
Posted: 9/29/2008 11:37:27 AM
Maybe she said it to either:

A) Throw you a curveball to see if you would freak out. She might have some sort of humor that likes to mess with people.

B) She gave you an opportunity to say something like "Well maybe later you'll be able to take them off yourself". You did say the chemistry was very strong.

this site doesn't work for me
Posted: 9/24/2008 10:37:54 AM
Honestly, you'd have better luck meeting people at a place like a town square with lots of things to do in public or at a Target store than on a dating site.

The appeal of dating sites is that it is just more convenient and more safe than putting yourself out there in real life.

Chemistry/compatibility
Posted: 9/24/2008 9:43:30 AM
To me, chemistry is 100% attraction including body language, flirting and sexual appeal. You figure out if there is chemistry on the first date. You figure out compatibility (i.e. whether he/she is like me, has a good personality, etc.) after 2-4 dates.

Fighting the battle of indifference
Posted: 9/24/2008 9:38:47 AM
I think if you are battling indifference with your dating scene for a period of time then you need to look elsewhere to meet people. Online dating not working for you? Then find reasons to go out in public (i.e. the grocery store, Target, Costco, town squares) and try to strike up conversations with people you might want to get to know better.

The trick to making a good impression in real life is to not show all your cards right away. If you like someone alot when you first meet them, don't tell them you are ga-ga over them. Just play it cool, be funny, and act like seeing that person again isn't the most important thing in the world. Women like a bit of a chase, even if that chase is just the guy acting like he 'might' call them but inside he is already planning what he will do on the first date.

There is nothing wrong with getting physical quickly if the chemistry is there. Sometimes the guy just isn't interested in anything beyond that and lies about his intentions.

Some guys use internet dating sites as ways to be players when they can't be like that in real life. They will say the lovey dovey things just as long as it takes to get you in the sack.

Long term vs short term dating.
Posted: 9/23/2008 11:24:00 AM
Well Utah is the state probably the worst for casual dating since the Mormon and religious influences are so strong there. Alot of Mormon chicks are hot though so I bet you could find one to shack up with you easily if you wanted, for the long term of course.

the worst Rejections you have seen
Posted: 9/23/2008 11:08:52 AM
I gave a girl a bad rejection a few years ago. I was 20 and I think she was too. We had met online and she wanted to meet me in person. We had been flirting alot online and figured I'd at least get some sex out of it.

Well she comes over and is a bit crazier than she had let on. Like really spacey and kinda dumb to boot. Well she was hot so we fooled around in my bedroom for a while. Now my roommate brings her friend over and I'm digging her friend. The crazy chick I just banged is still in my room asleep from drinking too much and so I end up making out with the friend of my roommate in the next room while she is sleeping.

The crazy chick realizes what is going on and storms out. I still met my goal of at least getting laid! lol

Tony Kornheiser on MNF

I think Tony is way too over the top. He is annoying and adds almost nothing to the commentary of the actual football played. Instead he just says things to stir things up and usually the other two guys just pause and don't say anything because they know how stupid Tony is.

Dumped mid date!!
Posted: 9/22/2008 10:46:08 AM
I had a moment like this, oddly enough.

I met this girl, brought her back to my place. She was a little crazy, but was hot. We were fooling around in my room during the day (which was nice), but the crazy factor came back and was annoying to me later on. My roommate brought another girl over to our house that night and the crazy girl fell asleep early. I ended up making out with the girl that just came over while the other girl was passed out in my bed lol.

Personally, I think you led him on. If you know a guy has interest in you and you agree on a weekend trip where he pays for everything you have to know he is expecting to hook up with you. If it was a group of friends going on a weekend trip then that is different, but when it is just you and him you have to know what he is expecting.

Can anyone offer some input on this?
Posted: 9/22/2008 10:40:04 AM
Also take into account that people just getting out of long relationships that ended badly come to these sites to get ego boosters, to know that the opposite sex still wants them. When push comes to shove and the person they flirt with wants to meet them they back off because their ego boost is complete.

Posted: 9/22/2008 10:20:44 AM
I'm a Broncos fan too...I gotta say that I think Denver likes giving us fans a heart attack at the end of games so far this year.

I love our offense and how aggressive it is, but our defense is so terrible right now. It is scary going into games against good opponents and knowing that the offense will have to score close to 40 points to win. I shudder to think how many points a team like the Cowboys would score against us.

asking out a woman who you don't know if she's single or not..
Posted: 9/22/2008 10:12:07 AM
To follow up on my earlier post, after you find times to strike up conversations with her at work and get to know her a little better you can offer to goto lunch together (as business friends). Don't pay for her lunch, just sit down and talk as friends.

If you can get through a couple of lunches together and there is obvious chemistry going on then you can ask her out to dinner as a date.

Normally, I wouldn't advise someone to take such a slow approach to asking someone out, but asking someone out that you work with needs to be done with care. If you just all up and ask her out and she says no then there is weirdness. If you take her to lunch as friends and see that there is no real chemistry then you can spare yourself the weirdness.

I'd personally try to start up conversations with her before asking her out to make sure that you like her personality and that she likes yours. Women are way more comfortable going out with someone they have talked to on a friendly basis before. It also shows that you are confident and not desperate to go out with them.

Guys losing steam?
Posted: 9/22/2008 8:37:14 AM
Well guys that straight up ask "so when are we gonna hook up?" are obviously ones to stay away from, like you did.

Also, online dating is different than traditional dating in the sense that people feel safe behind their computers. People can choose to be people they want to be in real life but aren't. Like being a player, for instance. A guy that never was smooth enough in real life can have a much easier time trying to be that kind of guy online since he feels that there is no risk macking on alot of chicks from his PC.

I could be wrong, but maybe you are attracted to guys that are the ultra flirtatious type with a little bravado in their personality. I am attracted to confident women too that are flirty so I know all about that lol.

interracial dating
Posted: 9/22/2008 8:31:47 AM
I've never dated a black girl but I wouldn't be against it. I just don't think I fit into the black culture at all to have much in common with many of them.

I grew up in Alaska where it is 80% white, went to a college that is in a 85% white town...so you can see how I might not fit into more urban cultures.

Posted: 9/22/2008 8:24:16 AM
Maybe the guys you choose to date from this site are the player types that try to say all the right things to keep you happy but just want to see if their facade will get them in your pants. Don't be surprised if one or more of them contact you down the road and offer up some excuse for not calling you sooner so they can try again to get you in bed.

I'm making assumptions, of course, but it is also the possibility that something is turning them off. Are you very opinionated and confrontational? Sometimes guys run for the hills when that side of someone shows up on the first date.

The Giants couldn't have asked for a better way to start the season at 3-0. Plax+Eli is turning out to be one of the elite hook-ups with Brady-Moss out of the picture this year. The only problem for the Giants is that they are in the NFC East, which should still send 3 teams to the playoffs.

The Patriots looked so horrible yesterday. Brady definitely shows he earns his paycheck by his team getting dominated by the lowly Miami Dolphins without him.

One thing that I'd be worried about is the NE defense looking so crappy. Ronnie Brown running against them (and passing) was like watching Mike Tyson fight an infant.

Sorry, NE fans, you aren't even making the playoffs this year.
