    Pity gift is a bad idea. All it does is reinforce that she is single.

    I have spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a boob picture of her. I cannot. I feel like I've disappointed the Ants Community. I am a failure of a man.

    I don't know a single girl who see it as something other than a pity gift, and her perception is more important than your intent.

    This article sums up my thoughts on the impacts of online dating and social media. People are electing for easy, non-awkward methods of communication so often that when it finally comes to dating and being social, they've never learned simple social skills and correct body language.

    This article is gold.
    Who are these people? Everyone who's graduating from college without a significant other?

    How do you meet people organically when we already know going to the bar is a shitty proposition for meeting someone?

    Re: Dating is miserable

    Something else I noticed in the article...
    Quote:
    Shifting gender roles are also contributing to the confusion experienced on first dates.

    "Men are almost afraid of being in the role of pursuing because they don't want to be perceived as creepy," Battista said. "And successful, independent women still want men to step up. As a result, it's almost like a standoff."

    Rejection, the kind that manifested itself in the awkward insecurities of middle school and survived maturity, remains the biggest enemy of dating success, LoDolce said.

    "People think that being rejected is going to be the worst moment of their life," LoDolce said. "This does not have to be the end of the world."
    This is the result of societal projections. Society creates the idea that a man persuing a woman could be creepy. That's compounded when actual creepy people commit crimes and it's all over the news.

    Society also treats failure as a god awful, terrible thing. There are certainly times where failure cannot and should not be an option (paraphrasing Apollo 13 a bit there!). However, one scenario that stands out to me is when the government tested the nationwide alert system back a year or so ago. People freaked out because it didn't work succesfully. It was the first time a system like that had ever been tested...it would have been a sheer miracle if it would have worked perfectly. Yet, people freaked out because it failed. Perhaps if we stopped treating failure so negatively, online dating wouldn't be damaging social skills nearly as much as we perceive that it does.

    Make sure to randomly pull out your phone for a quick picture pose. Tell her its for your internet friends who don't believe she has such fantastic boobs.

    It usually goes like this:

    <chick> So you're in a band?
    <me> No, it's my favorite band.
    <chick> So it's a bunch of friends who are in a cover band of your favorite band?
    <me> No, we just talk about the band.
    <chick> So, it's a bunch of people sitting around doing nothing but talking about a band? Do you ever hang out with them?
    <me> Well, some of them at shows every now and then.
    <chick> I don't get it.

    I hear the long week, sir. Ready for a break tomorrow with only a 9 hour shift. It's going to be grand.

    McBoobies has a crazy exboyfriend. Like Drown kids in the tub kind of crazy. Maybe I'm wrong but I tend to judge people that date crazy people for any extended period of time. One thing if you want to nut because we all know the nutso's are the best in bed. But to date one for a long time makes me feel like something is wrong with them.

    I went to California for 9 days, took my 6 year old to Disneyland. Road tripped from Arkansas. The only part that really sucked was hitting a random fucking blizzard in Arizona that held me up an extra half a day. That shit was insane. The rest was fun, I felt like a kid again.
