A date with me comes with the warning, "You will not be the same after one date with me"!

I do THAT scene from 'When Harry Met Sally'. You know which one i mean. Don't pretend you don't xD


Actually, i don't. haha. I don't try to win him over. I just get on with whatever we're both doing at the time.

I was referring to the image in my experiences. I feel like maybe when you hit a certain age, or whenever you experience that moment where you really shouldn't care, its easy for you to practice what you preach, especially when it comes to social situations. I for one just find it difficult as a woman to be taken seriously. I mean yeah I'm a goofball, all those girly things still intact, but I'm also an adult and I've been through a lot. I care about being respected for the person I am. I dunno, just feel like as women, or rather young adults every little thing gets scrutinized. Are we smarter? I don't know. I do alright for myself. I guess I mean image in the exterior sense rather interior. Hard to explain this. I feel like this is reserved for a rain day talk.

That's cute as hell. I've been told I'm the brunette Meg Ryan. I got those lines down.

Well, we all care about being respected as a person. I can tell you from my experiences; it was a hard battle to be respected as a person especially in the military. We were treated like second class citizens and had to prove our worth especially being the first women to ever sail on a combat ship. Although women had made great strides; you are still going to meet many men that will not respect you as a person. I still get men my age trying to talk down to me and trust me I give them an earful when they try that crap. I would like to say it gets easier being treated as a person when you are a woman but at this point; I can say from personal experience it doesn't no matter what age you are. Are you smarter than my generation? I would like to think that each generation is smarter than the one before as we can accumulate more knowledge through technology and that each generation learns from mistakes of the past generation. I am not niave enough to think I am smarter because I am older but I may be a tad wiser.

literally no girls around mass around here. sucks balllsss

I thought those were the rules of politics.
Then again, what is the difference between the two?

that's wicked sad brah, sahree you're a-hurtin *hugs*

so knew it
you are into me

cause you threaten me every time we speak

<3

Something bothers me about this statement.

Breaking it down:

"There are no girls."

"Sucks balls."

..just saying.

I never saw it as a situation where I needed to do something to impress someone. The decision to be impressed (or not) is something that she's going to generate (or not) internally -- if I have to do any steering or "impressing" or manipulating, it's all sort of pointless.

As it's been a number of years since I've been in that situation, I suppose nowadays I could mention my writing. But only if she initiates the topic.

I'm just myself. No need to try to impress them. If they like me, awesome. If they don't, then I move on.

nothing

I do not try to win them over

with the 2 of them up there hugging each other I was kinda thinking the same thing.....

right I took it as doing something other than what you'd normally do

I mean, I usually do my hair, make up etc

but not so much to impress

although it might appear that way

i usually show em my jerk off techniques that usually impresses em if that dont work i have some nice toys

I dont really try to impress because I dont want to spend a lifetime doing it,,,,,


I find being my 'usual' self works best, using manners, asking questions and staying interested in them and their interests, staying optomistic and supportive, not acting ditzy or less intelligent


those are the things that have sparked and maintained interest in the past,,,,

The minute I think I'm losing her interest... I flex a lil more

Yeah, when I hear people talking about wanting to impress others, I get the idea that they're going out of their way to do something they may not usually do. I'd rather people just be themselves.

dont knock it till you try it
