Um, no. Psy-cho.

I showed it to MrsCPG. This was one of the women who called during what we called The Year Of The Drunken Dial. MrsCPG would answer, simply hand me the phone and leave the room.

I agree. That's a crap cop-out. That 'real women' have curves.
That's like saying someone only got rich because they were corrupt.
Or someone was successful cuz they were such a suck-up.
It's what losery sour-grape people say because they can't suck it up and try as hard as other people...so they poop all over their accomplishments to make themselves feel better.

That being said, I still stick by never really having heard any people in my life saying that someone OWES them a date despite their being overweight.

Heh, this thread still going? What to say, what to say...

How's about this, once again referencing my dating history being more negative than positive, consider this:

What would your life be like if you got that person as a nerd? Would she treat you like a king and you'd both live happily, or make fun of you in front of her peers and cheat on you maliciously? I can't think of one person who was a total nerd win over the heart of a woman who thought she was too good for him, and if she went with him you'll see it in her actions when she makes fun of him in front of others, or treats him like crap because he's afraid to stand up to her.

You know, "lazy, ugly, small ***** etc" insults? Would it really be worth it? Trust me that if she chose the d-bag over you YOU'VE DODGED A BULLET, I'm talking those large sized bullets from Super Mario World. (You see that? Geek reference, COME AT ME BRO!)

I never knew a nerd girl back in HS and College but I wished every day that I did. Near every woman I've met were into smoking, drinking, both, or just party-party-party and I've never been invited to one so whatever. Luck of the draw I guess. What prevented me from becoming some bitter stereotype was the first week I've moved to Phoenix when I was trying to go to college. I could talk to women and not feel ashamed and it was freaking awesome. Perhaps OP should consider moving elsewhere and start fresh, it worked wonders.

Look if you're successful at 30 and these women start looking you up, look at the before and after, have a good laugh, and GET RID OF HER PICTURE/FRIEND REQUEST. Expect the ulterior motive: She's getting divorced, possibly broke, with children and she may assume you're still that "nice guy" who could never say no. Or, hey maybe she's just trying to apologize and catch up... either way, don't bother with it otherwise she might think you haven't moved on. Last thing you want to do is give them the impression you've been thinking about them after all these years.

I understand revenge is a sweet sweet nectar that is satisfying the longer you wait to take that sip, but I compare it to Coca-cola... It's sweet at first, but it leaves you with a nasty aftertaste later on.

In my early 30s, I received a wedding invitation from her. On the invitation itself, she had scrawled "This Could Have Been You!"

The OP reminds me of her.
Funny and yet still very scary!

I have to be honest but I have a friend who is sort of cuckoo crazy like this...and I always fear for the guy when her relationships end.

Are you f'ing kidding me? For show? What show would that be? And no, I have no emotional attachment to this issue whatsover. Just stating the facts based on my experience. I think I pushed your buttons and you don't like it, so you tried, rather uncleverly while making spelling and grammatical errors, to debunk me.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen and the weak have risen!"

Seen this stuff before and it goes both ways. Men and women do this the same but I think it's more women on the basis that they do the majority of the choosing in relationships. Men do most of the asking. Sometimes financial success isn't even a part of the equation.

I've seen geeky/nerdy type guys have a total body transformation when they reach their adult years. Same thing with young girls considered the ugly duckling that grew into beautiful swans. Not all of them became financial success stories. In fact a lot of them are hard working individuals paying the bills just like everyone else.

On the flipside, I've seen the A-list guys and girls from highschool and college grow into nothing. They got all the attention in their youth and made all the cliques. The rude awakening comes when they realize it's a whole different ballgame in the real world.

Serious truth in this, a lot if people aren't dating material after a bad experience.

LOL guys go for nerdy girls all the time. Guys love the shy quiet girl in the library with glasses, who behind closed doors suddenly reveals her wild side. There are tons of porn fantasies about this kind of thing.

WAIT A MINUTE.............FAST FOWARD


Nerdy guy is now 37 and he's no longer nedy looking, he's transformed his body to a lean muscle machine and he's spent the last 15 years working on his career and building his business. He now earns a high 6 figure income and is well traveled.


Oh, wait a minute............NOW YOU WANT HIM.


Yes, the above story is real and it happens.


I say, to heck with her. She's no longer the cute 20 something girl, she's now 35 and used up and has had a series a bad relationships and a divorce.

Yup, this happens to guys all of the time.
This emotion, in a nutshell, is the entire force driving civilization. Why did Mike Angelo carve "David"? Why did Einstein bend his brain to elucidate the mysteries of time and space? Why did we brave the frontiers, build the rail roads, plumb the ocean's depths and put men on the Moon?

All to get revenge on the hot girl in high school. True fact.

Exactly which of my buttons did you push?
