And I think I know the difference between smiling and laughing, since smiling very seldom includes a snort. So a no snort kind of smile is probably supposed to generate a nice feeling ? That would be a pleasant departure from the self analysis it usually prompts.
I know that feeling, too, I have wondered if someone is smiling bc they like me or think I'm dumb. The "laughing at you not with you" kind of feeling.

I just sense so much confusion and angst in some of these guys' posts. I was wondering if that's a "thing." I usually would be able to determine within minutes of meeting someone whether like me or not, are undecided, or don't care.

There are the guys who are confused... and then there are just loads and loads of guys who are simply griping, who want someone to hold their hand every step of the way, and who think they need some freebies, or deserve them on some level.


It's kind of pervasive, yep.


HEFFAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!


Dis my new fav'rit ting, yeah?

LOL! Why not? "Ma riches" couldn't last forever...

Oh, in other news of the weekend's social goings-on, a friend got laid off from his job, and is now going into the sex toy business. He says there is a fortune to be made, and has partnered with a couple of companies that produce product, and he had a couple of items with him to show off their quality. I shared a couple of ideas with him, and now he wants me to patent said ideas and get involved in this endeavor.

I have no idea what to think of this.

Does he like me? Should I ask him out?

I suspect he likes you, but not LIKES YOU-likes you... like, ya know? If ya know, ya know more than I, because I never know (as so richly illustrated in the course of this conversation).

Oh my god. I'm remembering a conversation last night, my boyfriend thinks we should become life coaches. Be a couple doing life coaching together. So like, we could be the couple that does life coaching, AND peddles sex toys. Sounds like a winner!

"No, you don't need a whole new philosophy or a new career. Just a better strap on. You're welcome."

*snerk*

I honestly think that's the conclusion. If not something they can do differently, then women should start giving out samples.

I think the realization and understanding that everyone has different tastes is very important. They're not going to be everyone's cup of tea. It takes a VERY long time to find someone who is truly compatible with you, as a person. I also think when they look at these other guys (jerks in particular) with gfs, they automatically assume the relationship must be great. They put it on a pedestal which is very unrealistic.
