How come when other guys tease girls its "cute" and "flirtatious"

[JAbuchan08]

Whenever I do it I just end up looking like an idiot.... Seriously how many 20-something girls do you know who like Tom Jones? Not to mention liking his COVERS better than the originals.

I think I gave him some faint praise on these boards a while back.... I take it back.

Oh, did I mention I'm STILL single.
I'm beginning to think its me... nah... couldn't be that.

1. Well, uh, I'm wondering about your name choice...

[JAbuchan08]

2. Its kinda facetious; its supposed to be a dig at gun nuts protecting us

from a tyrannical federal government (they've done a great job, haven't they)
It is also referencing my ambivalence about the second amendment. Obviously I have yet to buy a gun (hence the gonna), but I guess I support the second amendment to a certain extent - I'm just not sure to what extent that is.

[BikeWriter]

4. It could be off-putting to women.

[JAbuchan08]

6. Yeah, but its not like I walk around with a "gonnabuymeagun" nametag

so I think that's a moot point.

3. I'm guessing probably because you're not hot

and are not rich either. Straight non-hot non-rich men need to learn that anything they do vis-a-vis women is wrong. And should stop doing it. Of course, at the point at which you learn that lesson, and stop bothering people, you will be labeled "gay" - don't argue! You just don't know it yet! You're repressing it!

What joy!

8. Sounds like you're where I was at about six months ago, you need to take a

deep breath and tell yourself: "not all women are like that" the rules of attraction are unfair I know, but you have to be attractive to attract.

22. Sheesh! News Flash: Some women are a bit deeper than your

average bird bath - give us some credit, will ya? It might help. :o

[the_spectator]

25. lol I do I do.

Just a bit cranky here today - the heat, plus I've got a SUMMER cold (if it isn't early-stage Lyme Disease!)

5. In praise of older women

Major hint here, gunboy.

Girls mature faster than boys, up to a point. Then they get really dumb, just at the point when you are starting to get smart. And they don't get it, at all. A few years later, they'll be a hell of a lot more clued in than you or I will ever be.

So two suggestions: 1) observe women, strange creatures but not inexplicable 2) date older women.

If all you want is a pair of perky tits, then date a twenty year old and that's what you'll get. If you want conversation, intelligence, a companion, someone who knows what she wants and damn well intends to get it - start looking at women in their forties and older. You won't regret it.

10. some of us in the perky tit brigade

are quite capable of intelligent conversation and companionship.

[JAbuchan08]

11. address the issue at hand! Does Tom Jones suck or not?

What self respecting 20-something (male or female) listens to Tom frickin' Jones?

[liontamer]

13. well I liked him in mars attacks

we all have are non trendy pleasures.

[JAbuchan08]

15. But she worked at a record shop!!!!

then again she was wearing a scarf in 90 degree weather so maybe Tom Jones is not her biggest problem. I think the thing that got me most was that she liked his covers. "You've lost that lovin' feeling came on" and I have to admit I was singing along - but I was singing the Everly Brothers version.

[liontamer]

18. well that just shows how cool she is

She's beyond the need to appease record store snobs.

[JAbuchan08]

19. Too cool for me then I'm only cool enough to be one step behind the trends

I don't really care if she likes Tom Jones or not. I just feel bad that my gentle teasing apparently sounded more like snobbery.

[liontamer]

27. well she probably gets a lot of shit for it

in such a situation, your best bet is to smile and nod and say how cool it is that she is so unique.

[JAbuchan08]

31. I'll keep that in mind,

Just in case I ever talk to a woman again in my life.

[khashka]

26. The two issues at hand

One:
Q. Does Tom Jones suck?
A. Nowadays, yes. When dinosaurs ruled the Earth he was god.

Two:
Q. Why can't you get laid?
A. You're looking for the wrong ladies.....

29. Issue No 3.

Why do I feel the need to post self-deprecating threads about my total romantic ineptitude and why don't I utilize smilies more to shade my meaning where neccessary.

[khashka]

32. Issue No. 3

A: Quick and easy, you are an idiot who needs immediate gratification from people you don't know :)

2nd A: It's been fun. Who cares why? Haven't you had fun? Kinda?

Khash.

[JAbuchan08]

33. fair enough,

I should probably let this thread die now, right. I don't want to though its one of my longest.

[khashka]

34. A hint

You want a long thread?

Try "post a pic of yourself". Pretty fucking endless, but fun and it goes on forever :)

16. Let's hear it for the perky tit brigade!

You help make life worth living... you have nothing to lose but your bras!

[khashka]

21. I apologize if I dissed you

I was making broad sweeping generalizations. Always a mistake :)

But would it be amiss of me to say I might think you are in the minority? I just see so many women sort af "waking up" in their thirties. And I love it when I see it.

If you can skip that disconnect between teenage girls and adult women, then go for it! You have my admiration and I'll point every woman I know in your direction. That sounds sarcastic but I mean it honestly.

The only thing I like more than seeing a woman wake up from that cold sleep, is a woman like you who never has to. It's all we ever really wanted . Maybe we feminists did get something right :)

[liontamer]

28. no true offense taken

:) :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

20. I. Love. You.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Left Is Write]

24. You and me both.

[khashka]

30. Man oh man oh man

I... I... I don't want know what to say. Two of the coolest ladies (and if I can be really pathetically male) two of the most beautiful just complimented me more than I can deserve. I remain speechless.

See! Gunboy, there are girls out there simply too cool to be imagined. You might want to cultivate THEIR interests for a change, rather than your own. Forget Tom Jones unless you wanna throw your panties at him.

23. They're all too mature for me. Apparently though some guys make immaturity

work for them. That's what I'm trying to figure out. .. how do I do that?

[rug]

7. Looks like you got another all-male thread again.

[JAbuchan08]

9. It was a vanity post. I didn't really expect any answers

maybe somebody defending Tom Jones, but other than that....

[GirlinContempt]

12. Sex Bomb was awesome.

[last_texas_dem]

14. Hey you're not alone

I'm so "un-clever" and bad with choosing the right words that I rarely even try to flirt with girls. I just try to be really nice to a girl if I like her a lot. So far, that hasn't seemed to count for very much, though.

But I'm still young, well at least for a little while longer...

17. Nice don't cut it these days...
