It took me a year to get over an ex girlfriend of four years.
To finally admit that is was over, and she really wasn’t want I needed or wanted in a partner. At the same time, I realized other girls that had been in my life more recently were also not what I needed.
A week later I was re-introduced to the woman that I have now been with for over seven years and will be celebrating three years of marriage with next month. And we have a beautiful 13 month old son.
Everything that happens helps you understand yourself and if you don’t have those experiences, you won’t be who you are or set down the path that you walk.
What you say:
“I like you, and I’d like us to be friends, but I just don’t feel that way about you.”
What he hears:
“I like you, and I’d like us to be friends, and if only I did feel that way about you I would have sex with you.”
Therefore he tries to figure out how to make you feel that way.
What you need to say is: “There is no way I am ever ever ever going to have sex with you, so if that’s the only reason you’re hanging around, you need to give it up and move on.”
Have you ever tried being polite to a telemarketer? It’s the same idea.
Guys aren’t being dense. You’re trying to have it both ways. You want guys to do all the things they only do when they’re trying to have sex with you, but you don’t want them to try to have sex with you.
And we DON’T always want men to try having sex with us. Men and women ARE different in this respect. We communicate in ways we think are clear and guys prefer more directness. Happens all the time. Women are built to nurture and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Perhaps dense was the wrong word choice.
the reason we woo you is so that we can have sex with you. Its a genetic imperative. From evolutionary psychology, basically because reproduction from males requires almost no resources, we try to have sex as often as possible since that increases the chance that our genes live on. Women, the slow sex, expend huge amounts of resources in sex and must ensure that they mate with the best partner they can and that their offspring has the resources to survive. Wooing is a display of those resources. Men’s only reason participate is because its the only way they can procreate with women who hold out for resources. Therefore, by wanting to be wooed without providing sex you are breaking your end of the bargain.
How much of that is babble and how much is true depends on how much you believe my evolutionary psych class sophomore year of college.
I just want to add that (1) there are certainly individuals who are exceptions to the general pattern, on both sides; and (2) evolutionary nature, powerful as it is, is not all-powerful, and one might defy it if one wishes.
The one part of your discussion that I don’t directly relate to is calling women the “slow sex”. I know what you mean, and you’re right. It’s just that I happen to be a man who enjoys slowness in all things, including wooing, so that’s one place where I deviate from the male norm.
Been listening to Melancholy Blues and Play The Game and Teo Torriata and several others. A friend of mine got divorced, bought a house and lost his job all within 3 days so my life is just fine. My heart still hurts, though.
in a lackluster game in SF. Bottom of th eninth Bengie Molina — who is hobbled with a sore leg — pinch hits and hits a 3-run HR,. That is practicallly all the offense that the Giants had tonight.
Bengie was even slower than usual ruounding the bases.
the lovemakers (yeah, remember them from a few years ago?) are in san jose this friday at the blank club. if anyone cares. as is rex navarrette, great filipino comedian
I like beer. I used to like donuts (until I eliminated sugar from my diet). But Bacon donuts with beer sauce doesn’t sound so good. On the other hand, almost everything is better with bacon.
Except, that I keep waking up at about 4:30. When I finally go back to sleep its for about an hour. And the dreams are totally bizarre. And I feel like crap.

“Hey man, can you get me some porn? That would be awesome.”

Do you call that male friend Google?

This is the problem. Women start to believe that THIS IS THE WAY IT HAPPENS.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
I told my ex-gf
All I wanted to do was make you happy. Sorry I failed in the attempt.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Oh, you're making me sad.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
Me too.
ZigFan31 - August 26, 2009
Sorry
I thought it was the truth but we both failed each other.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Well don't apologize to me.
You’re the one going through a breakup, make me sad by all means if it makes you feel any better.
It’s not about failing. It takes a while but it’s about learning more about yourself.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
It took me a year to get over an ex girlfriend of four years.

Been listening to Melancholy Blues and Play The Game and Teo Torriata and several others. A friend of mine got divorced, bought a house and lost his job all within 3 days so my life is just fine. My heart still hurts, though.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Ooh, I looove Melancholy Blues.
So awesome.
iglew - August 26, 2009
that was the last song I heard
before witnessing the upcoming RALLY
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
I've heard THAT before.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
BOO!
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
You know I love you!
Its our team I’m having a problem with.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
I'm with you O2B.
ZigFan31 - August 26, 2009
Alright. We have some strong mojo.
It starts with two and ends with a woo hoo!
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
I like the sound of that!
ZigFan31 - August 26, 2009
That's just great.
Could we maybe pop up the next pitch too? I’d love that.
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009
BAD SCOTT!
bad!
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
Third times a charm?
brian.only - August 26, 2009
DO IT JACK.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
Hello Pam ;-)
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
hello
are you nice on Wednesdays?
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
yes, you made me change my ways
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
Cust wants revenge.
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009
Cust goes deep here.
bank it.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
hmmmmm, no comment
Deborah51 - August 26, 2009
I would take that.
He’s hot!
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
Mount Jack?
iglew - August 26, 2009
you women have dirty minds
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
did you just call iglew a woman?
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
See, I *can* still pass!
iglew - August 26, 2009
depends upon the makeup.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
No, depends on the dress.
iglew - August 26, 2009
I thought you *might* be happy about that
But I didn’t want to answer for you either way
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
wait what
i’m confused now
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
I float as the clouds on air do!
iglew - August 26, 2009
sorry about that
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
Yes we do!
iglew - August 26, 2009
you say that like it's a bad thing
Deborah51 - August 26, 2009
I say he works the walk
MaEl delivers us to the promised land
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
OR
a weak ground out to Hannahan.
One or the other.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
meanwhile, Giants down 3-1 versus Arizona
in a lackluster game in SF. Bottom of th eninth Bengie Molina — who is hobbled with a sore leg — pinch hits and hits a 3-run HR,. That is practicallly all the offense that the Giants had tonight.
Bengie was even slower than usual ruounding the bases.
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
oops...bottom of the eighth, not a walkoff
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
kg redux
noava22 - August 26, 2009
exactly what I was thinking
I just hate mentioning that one because…well, you know…
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
I went to the all star game fanfest when i was a little kid
and they had a “dub your voice making famous calls” booth, and somehow i got the kg scene. it was awful. i have the tape somewhere.
noava22 - August 26, 2009
full count .... come on, do it
ak_A - August 26, 2009
pleasescorepleasescorepleasescore
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
Oops, too late.
Or too early if you’re aiming for the 9th.
iglew - August 26, 2009
crap
ak_A - August 26, 2009
SON OF A
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009

Son of an A!
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
EFFFFF
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
Id like everyone to know that out happened
after I grabbed my AN shirt and placed it on my head
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
Funny how they got to an ad for Jack Daniels
After Jack Cust grounds out.
Jack sounds good right about now.
Hit4TheCycle - August 26, 2009
Jack takes out Jack
that’s Jacked up
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
some scary looking people, esp chicks, on top chef this season
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
I kinda like that mannish-looking one.
but I’m sick like that.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Best part of Top Chef is and always will be, Gail Simmons!
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
I like Padma.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Gail over Padma....I like the pale ones
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
Penelope Ann Cruz?
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
yes yes
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
do you remember the film exec from Sopranos?
Her too.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
NAME?
Amnesiac - August 26, 2009
Don't have it, sorry.
She was very pale and red-headed.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Alicia Witt
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
She plays piano, you know.
iglew - August 26, 2009
the red head from Law & Order?
D-Girl?
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Not sure but it may be her
She totally f’d up Spider!
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
that's her.
effing d-girl!
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
D-Girl?
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
development girl.
I learned that after much research. It basically means she’s WAY down on the totem pole in the corporate film studio.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
who are you rooting for?
im kinda pissed Rick Bayless won the Top Chef Masters… Dude endorsed a burger king sandwich
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
i still don't know their names
takes me a few episodes
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
I try not to pick my favorites before a few eps in.
I think the fat guy with the beard or the driven pretty blonde girl will win it all.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Pretty sure they'll be in there.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
as long as they wash their hands
ak_A - August 26, 2009
A's behind in the bottom of the eighth
and they play tomorrow…so why is Bailey in the game?
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
So what's up
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
See above.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
Baw.
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
all concert goers
the lovemakers (yeah, remember them from a few years ago?) are in san jose this friday at the blank club. if anyone cares. as is rex navarrette, great filipino comedian
noava22 - August 26, 2009
The Lovemakers put on a good show
Fun, fun stuff.
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
i've heard they make out on stage and stuff
or something
noava22 - August 26, 2009
They used to be a couple.
brian.only - August 26, 2009
well, you can see the theatrics for cheaply this weekend
noava22 - August 26, 2009
If you cant tell that by the songs you haven't been listening
or read their press releases.
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
You're right
I haven’t been listening. I just give tickets away to their local shows on my radio show.
noava22 - August 26, 2009
Lol
Their new stuff isn’t nearly as good as Times of Romance
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
Hey
Janes Addiction had lesbians kissing on stage at Lollapalooza 1. It was something else.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Hey
Jane’s Addiction at Shoreline in May sucked.
Just sayin’.
noava22 - August 26, 2009
sorry, that was antagonistic
but they were awful. so bad. at least, imo.
noava22 - August 26, 2009
JA in 2009 is not JA in 1992.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
true
but i have no idea why they headlined in front of trent reznor on his last.tour.ever. as NiN
noava22 - August 26, 2009
There's a guy I know don't like me.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Older and less drugged out
People gots to grows up
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Dude I love the lovemakers and The Hundered Days are playing with them
They are sooo good
I see the Lovemakers all the time
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
Let's go Aaaaa's!
Smaaaash Aaaardsma!
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009
bacon donuts with beer sauce?
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
yum
can you make that?
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
someone on top chef did
they’re making dishes based on their vices
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
what would you make?
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
a chocolate orgasm floating in a cocktail
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
hmmm
what are the ingredients for that
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
let me think, i'm trying to combine my vices...
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
I like bacon.
I like beer. I used to like donuts (until I eliminated sugar from my diet). But Bacon donuts with beer sauce doesn’t sound so good. On the other hand, almost everything is better with bacon.
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009
grilled PB&J with bacon
try it. it has a name but i forgot it
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
Tease is on!
brian.only - August 26, 2009

ak_A - August 26, 2009

LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
You must have spent a great deal of time working on Gilmore Girls photoshops.
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009
It was worth it.
But not really as much time as you might think. Once you get the basics down for one, the others one kinda make themselves.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
robophotoshop!
BERRYJO - August 26, 2009

ak_A - August 26, 2009

Flashfire - August 26, 2009

sirbed - August 26, 2009
I wish that goofy beard would wear off him.
iglew - August 26, 2009
yup
Deborah51 - August 26, 2009
Was it ever worn on?
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
There was a bit of it when he got on base something like his first ten games
Flashfire - August 26, 2009
Oh yeah Im immune to Small Sample Size
on 26 year old suspects from AA
designatedforassignment - August 26, 2009
swing the stick fucker!!!!
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
When did Everidge turn into bad Kust?
worldblee - August 26, 2009
That was annoying...
brian.only - August 26, 2009
k looking?
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
What a pathetic at bat

The shine has worn off
Trainman - August 26, 2009

cityplANner - August 26, 2009
BRING 'EM HOME, NOMAR.
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
Fail Time...
cityplANner - August 26, 2009

ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009

LoneStranger - August 26, 2009

cityplANner - August 26, 2009

cityplANner - August 26, 2009
i would have preferred the quick death
put us out of our misery tonight
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
Well done Nomar
The guy who never met a pitch he didn’t like, going down looking.
walk off bunt - August 26, 2009
That was absolutely awful
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
Swin- oh nevermind...
brian.only - August 26, 2009

ak_A - August 26, 2009

cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
No way! Haha!
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
Hi all.

speckops - August 26, 2009
AK MOJO!!!!!
brian.only - August 26, 2009
Swing the damn bat!

P-U.
IowaA'sFan - August 26, 2009

ak_A - August 26, 2009
A's baseball
let the runs score on wild pitches and passed balls or hit batters.
Trainman - August 26, 2009
Dang it
worldblee - August 26, 2009
unsatisfying
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
ugh
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
game over, suck
OaklandSi - August 26, 2009
KENNNNNNEDYYYYYYYYYYY!
Everidge, Nomar, Kennedy. What a joke.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
Sorry to everyone
I really felt a rally coming tonight :-(
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
yea, didn't you command one
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
I've been striking out a lot lately
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Are you Nomar?
mikev - August 26, 2009
without any mayo or Hamm
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
are you Zigfan's black friend?
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
my fleece as white as snow
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
Take some laxatives, it'll be ok.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
oh shit!
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
uuuugh
(slinks into chair)
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
G'night everyone!
Hope your dreams are better than this game.
worldblee - August 26, 2009
ditto- g'night.
brian.only - August 26, 2009
They've been pretty weird lately.
G’night.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
OMG. Me too.
what’s up with that.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
I'd blame me.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
No idea.
Except, that I keep waking up at about 4:30. When I finally go back to sleep its for about an hour. And the dreams are totally bizarre. And I feel like crap.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
Just don't text me at that time of (un)morning.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
No way. Never.
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
This morning I felt like I got beat up.
:-(
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
Write them down. You may need them someday.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
I'm pretty sure what the're about, mostly
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009
nothing but a big effin tease
Deborah51 - August 26, 2009
In play, tease(z)
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
Oh for cry-yi!
lynnzgal - August 26, 2009

flipgatey3 - August 26, 2009
West World on TCM
ak_A - August 26, 2009
sadface
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
I am sure Ed Crosby and his son are laughing
Trainman - August 26, 2009
to keep from crying
cityplANner - August 26, 2009
All three games we were in it till the end.
iglew - August 26, 2009
That is true...there was a lot of hope in those last few innings
BERRYJO - August 26, 2009
that was an absolutely pathetic series
Deborah51 - August 26, 2009
Swept once again in Seattle
it’s really starting to be football season
sirbed - August 26, 2009
hey o2b, i'll join you for porn-n-steak
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
goulet
noava22 - August 26, 2009
you don't even blink, do you?
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
you win again, you always do
noava22 - August 26, 2009
that's why I come up here.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
Are you from the Bay Area?
i guess we’ll have to meet in Utah.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
LA
we can meet in Vegas
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
I see no trouble with this plan
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
woo-hoo!
vegas.
noava22 - August 26, 2009
and it stays there, in Vegas
ak_A - August 26, 2009
thank goodness
watching porn with a dude would make me fall into a deep depression
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
you could take a drive north to the "ranches"
ak_A - August 26, 2009
...and visit Isabella Soprano
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
i did not follow all the seasons
ak_A - August 26, 2009
can you watch porn in Utah?
sirbed - August 26, 2009
No
but you can live out your fantasies with several women
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
LOL
well-played
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
but you have to marry them first
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
Big Love time
sirbed - August 26, 2009
i might need some of that myself
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
that should be a restaurant
one menu for steaks and drinks. one menu with porn choices
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
i can't even imagine the names you could get for a place like that
noava22 - August 26, 2009
What kind of a concept is that.
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
male bonding at it's worst.
pam5981 - August 26, 2009
yeah
we have to get in a fight on the way, too
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
Well...
ElQuesoCapitan - August 26, 2009
yay.
we’re good at getting swept by other teams that play poor baseball.
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009
we're # 1 we're #1 we're #1
sirbed - August 26, 2009
This game was over when JAck Cust didn;t get the HR call!!
Agree??
BERRYJO - August 26, 2009
+1
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
bedways is rightways now.

I’ll see you all tomorrow….
Leopold Bloom - August 26, 2009

OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009

BERRYJO - August 26, 2009
Pleasant dreams.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009

noava22 - August 26, 2009
Anything else on now
Besides Quick PItch? I see the gnats have taken the lead too. CRappola.
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
new episode of top chef
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
10 o'clock news.
LoneStranger - August 26, 2009
eh
unless they show me how to make those bacon donuts again it’s not worth it
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
lots of tattoos and piercings on these chefs
and 2 kinda cute brothers…maybe you can find the bacon donuts recipe online
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
tattooed young men do not excite me
rather watch CNN and Erica Hill
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
the girls have tatoos and piercings
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
oh
well, i’m not down with tattooed young women either. prefer them more sweet and innocent looking
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
they are scary looking
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
if they don't warsh regularly the grunge, skin flakes can build up
on the piercing metals and slough off into the food.
ak_A - August 26, 2009
TMI !!!!!
BERRYJO - August 26, 2009
Unless you're talking about pierced fingers,
what the hell are their earlobes, eyebrows, nostrils, lips, nipples, or tongues doing in the food???
iglew - August 26, 2009
ask and you shall receive
here’s the recipe: http://www.bravotv.com/foodies/recipes/bacon-donuts-with-chocolate-and-beer-sauce
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
yay!
thanks, dear
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
if you actually make it let me know
OakA'sHoney - August 26, 2009
seems easy enough
though i don’t keep beer or apple ale around consistently. or buttermilk.
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
DVR dude.
all kinds of stuff is on!
noava22 - August 26, 2009
true
Netflix streaming doesn’t have good stuff though.
cuppingmaster - August 26, 2009
horrible product except for Weeds downloads
ohtobe21likehuston - August 26, 2009
and all the frontline specials you can handle

Tenative Tommy
that’s Everidge’s new nickname.

He looked scared up there, unlike his former self in the first few games with Oakland.
