So why do you date?

Im trying to find a wife ;) Any single ladies out there?

Casual sex works so much better.

I would if if women would let me.

Kill a pig, skin it, then present the skin in a ceremonial fashion. She will be yours forever.

All the women I don't like want me, and all the women I like don't want me. I can't win!

*siiiiiiiigh*

That aside, dating is just fun. It's fun to be with someone, it's fun to flirt. That's all it is at this stage of my life.

for a guy... i think it is a pyschological thing... SEX. :fluffle:
Sex is why we drink,
sex is why we want money,
sex is why we gamble,
sex is why we date.

that is just the experiances i have had as a guy, and from discussions with friends :cool:

I have a feeling that probably every female on this earth (excluding my family members and those who have yet to meet me) does one (or more) of the following:
-hate me
-despise me
-think I'm an internet nerd (Can't have anything to do with 2+ hours of NS a day, can it?)
-think I'm a politics nerd
-think I'm a gaming nerd
-think I'm socially inept and a moron
-etc etc ad nauseum

If only I could find someone who is interested in what I am interested in.

Dating sucks.

I wouldn't know. I don't even know anybody!

I'm incredibly busy with school and work right now, such a commitment would be the straw that broke the madmans back.

option #4. but now i just gotta find a girl who isn't repulsed by me. :(

Y'know, with the right girl, these things work FOR you. ;)

Gaming girls do exist, you just have to look reeeeeeally hard for them.

To me, dating is about getting together with someone and having fun. It can turn romantic, but whatever happens happens and that's that.

AMEN, brother! This is completely what dating is about! :D

Odds are you'll find one before I do.

Believe it or not, there are girls out there who want 'nerdy' guys. I'm one of them, guys like this are generally sweeter, they listen, can hold a decent conversation and will watch Alien with me... but I prefer to call my men intellectual.

The problem is none of you exist in real-life. Begone, internet spawn! :p

Right now, dating is about having fun and getting close to someone for me. Marriage is like this dim little light on the horizon, a slight consideration, but not the focus. Later, I'm sure I'll get more serious, but for now...I'm just happy with my boyfriend.

And nerdy guys rock. They are the bestest ones! ;)

Yup!
I am living proof that geeky girls exist.

The point of dating something is so you can find out how old it is

They hide in their caves as well as gaming guys? If so, we'll never meet, even if we're in the same dorm. But if we're in the same chat room however... lol

i get sadistic pleasure in breaking girls hearts

i get pleasure in raising their hopes, self esteem and happiness then shattering it and spitting in their faces.

i like to hurt, it makes me feel complete.

What about looking hideous, does that work? Ever?

Ah, casual sex is OK for me. Why do you need anything else?

The end result is marriage, but not every dating relationship should be treated like it will end in marriage. Of course, if you know you're going to clash with this person later on, why bother (Unless, of course, she's a REALLY good lay ;) )

Financial security for your progeny.

"Dating" is the name given to the stupid courtship rituals people feel they have to go through when attracted to someone. It's also got some elements of a job interview and a police inspection, making it all the more fun and worthwhile.

Dating involves standardized behaviors designed to eliminate the need for individual thought. Instead of actually figuring out what to do with someone, you just say "date" and then a host of agendas, pre-written (mostly by popular culture and mass media) pops up automatically with no actual cognition, imagination or - heaven forbid! - even romance.

Meanwhile, 'romance' is just like dating, though much more vague and even more overhyped and boring.

I'm a human animal. I see another human animal I'm attracted to, that's that. Why date? So I can talk about stupid shit as some sort of test to screen me from all the genetic mistakes my partner has likely 'dated' before? Bullshit! People need to be more honest, and it starts with stripping away these tired euphemisms and rituals.

And fetching me a beer.

Dating is for whatever the parties want it to be for.

*shudders* Dating horrid horrid. Tis what got me married.

And no it's the intelligent men who like gaming, politics, open friendly debates, etc... that are the myth. They do not exist as far as I can find. And the ones that do are taken and a line-up for them when and if they break up has ensued.

Correction: What the female-half wants it to be for. :D

That's because we're all in our caves hiding from society. :p

Dating, like marriage and most other relationships, is either mutual or nothing at all. :p

Oh, this senseless life of casual sex...

I think I prefer a cave.

*crawls into cave*

Hmmm... where's the bedroom?

Dating, like marriage and most other relationships, is either mutual or nothing at all. :p

It's mutual in the sense that the guy is often more than willing to tag along. :p

Though there are reverse relationships too...

I didn't want an exclusive, long term, long distance relationship. My boyfriend did though. And here I am.

LOL Talose.

He must be worth hanging onto then. :)

What doesn't work is being a perpetual whiner who thinks nothing about themselves is any good. Low self-esteem is a REAL turn off.

If you have low self-esteem, at least put up a good front to appear confident.

Yup!

Wow, I never pegged you as female, N.A. :p

I actually know a girl with that shirt... as well as a "I <3 Nerds" shirt. :D

I tried, and it didn't work. Maybe I'm just not good enough at the front thing.

well, it works better if it's not a front. think about that.

Correction: What the female-half wants it to be for. :DToo true.
Well, I suppose it can never be too true. If I don't get what I want, I'm gone. But I don't see why that won't work for guys too.

Or they live on the other end of the world. *wavehand* :D

To be honest, dating is for getting laid with someone you like.

Dating's crap. I prefer to go with biological instinct--nature's way ;) Plus, in the end, there's most likely no such thing as "the one", but you can have a number of really good mates. ;)

On top of that, no girl would be sane enough to actually want me. :p

I can totally relate!

Personally, I think we should go back rto arranged marriage. Love is nice as a concept, but not practical as a basis for Marriage. Money, influence, background, that is what is important. Love can come in arranged marriages, and if not, thats what consorts are for.

Wheres the "I've never had the chance to date" section?

*waves back at Jester*

Yeah but who arranges the marriages Ren? My family tried that for me... The first one left me all but standying at the alter and the second turned out to already be married and to have been a convicted sex offender to boot. *shudders* thanks I can screw my life up perfectly well on my own without family assistance.
