Title: Tom I need your advice
Post by: MontaukProjekt/PE on June 07, 2011, 02:11:41 AM
Tom I can't seem to have much luck with the ladies :'(. I don't get to date the girls I want to date. Somehow I end up dating ones I don't like. Do you have any advice? Of course other FOT are welcome to give advice, but I would really like the solution from the man himself.
 
Also if Spike 8) is reading this I would like your advice too.

I think Spike might give you advice on how to date a television set.

I know it is cliche to say "things will happen when you least expect it" or "when you aren't looking for it" but that's always been the case for me. I'm not married, engaged or currently in a relationship so maybe someone elses advice is better.

Have you tried the line "Who'da thunk it?!"? I hear that one's pretty popular with the ladies.

Speakin of Taco, I'm starting to catch on to The League. You can reference the characters in that show for picking up girls.

Well I changed it anyway. I had to keep some reference to the philadelphia experiment. You can't have one project without the other

And I am now starting to realize why I dont have any luck with the ladies as these legends are some of the topics that interest me the most. Not the best first date discussion, so... ???

A nutty friend of mine is convinced a house near her is being used by Homeland Security to spy on . . . someone, because an impressive array decorates its exterior.  I think I'll suggest to her that it's an extension of these so-called experiments.

Christina, THEY call me Dave from Knoxville, but you can call me DFK. (and so can everybody else.) What's your sign? Can I get a number?

awesome! Would that be "dee-eff-kay" or "deefkh"?

I hate telling people what my sign is because apparently my sign is like the reigning asshole of the zodiac or something.

You're a Sagittarius?

yes, i believe in the Zodiac. you know why? because it's fun. I was out with some friends once and we were talking signs, and I bet them that the girl across the room was a Cancer (like me). Sure enough she was!

Okay back to the topic:

My only advice is that you have a bit of leeway in regards to a person's interests. Some dudes can't get over the fact that a girl likes different music or books than them, which can be problematic.

For me, I'm just intrigued when a person has a passion for ANYTHING (well, mostly). It's a great opportunity to learn about new things, and about that person.

also: having an 8-ball of coke never hurt either.

Like, being in possession of one or having just taken one?

You railadummy.  You don't "take" an eight-ball.  I'm embarrassed for you.

on second thought: stay away from dirty street drugs. It's a sure indicator of a "total loser" in the eyes of a potential mate.

Montauk might also want to x-post over on this forum for some free Ultimate For-Men Dating/Attraction Advice (http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-warriors-success-power-self-improvement/336389-ultimate-men-dating-attraction-advice.html) as well.

Not necessarily.  Someone might be looking for a codependent

"I'd like a drug, please."

Both of these responses made me laugh a lot.

I'm a zodiac-a-dummy and I know nothing about signs, other than mine is a Libra and I've had some bad experiences with girls born in August (Cancer and Leo, according to a wiki I just did.)

Anyone who knows about this stuff wanna postulate on that for me?

Also: what sign was the Zodiac Killer?

You two ladies really are cut from the same cloth!  Auntie C., when you get some vacation time you should travel to the wilds of Maine.


We Southerners don't know about "eights ball" or whatever.  I'm sure that in 1985 the mean streets of Brooklyn and Lubec, plutonium cocaine is available in every corner drug store, but in 1955 North Carolina it's a little hard to come by!
