Dating Tips: 12 Things You Don't Know About Women
By Esquire
http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/88620/dating-tips-12-things-you-dont-know-about-women
1. Christina Applegate
"Call us back right away. That 'three day' business does not apply. We're getting older, and we don't have time to screw around. Wait too long and we'll lose interest. Trust me on this one."
2. Courtney Cox
"We pay closer attention to your hands than you think. It's bad enough if you don't have manly hands, but if your nails are longer than ours, forget it."
3. Padma Lakshmi
"Some of us prefer boxing to yoga. None of us actually likes Pilates."
4. Alyssa Milano
"Women are innately self-conscious. This is not a choice; it's a genderwide condition. On a bad day, I look in the mirror and see my ten-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Bertha. On a really bad day, Bertha sees her two-hundred-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Brian Dennehy."
5. Poppy Montgomery
"When considering whether or not to ask out the girl you're afraid to talk to, keep this in mind: No matter who you are or what you look like, it's always flattering when you hit on us. Always."
6. Tea Leoni
"Supersecret: Unless we're blind or have no night-light in the bathroom, the whole toilet-seat thing is exaggerated and meant to control you."
7. Mariska Hargitay
"We love the fact that it takes you only twelve minutes to get ready for anything, be it a black tie [event] or a basketball game. When it takes longer than that... what are you doing in there?"
"We are all about our necks. Feel free to spend as much time there as you wish."
8. Emily Deschanel
"Even if we've only been dating a few weeks, don't introduce us as your 'lady friend' -- or that's exactly what we'll become."
9. Jenna Fischer
"If we run into your ex-girlfriend in public, the first thing you should do is put your arm around us. And if we have to introduce ourselves, you are in big trouble."
10. Julie Delpy
"We need you to be reachable at all times, but we don't always pick up our phones when you call. We realize this seems like a double standard; if you'd like to discuss it further, just leave a message."
11. Maria Bello
"We're afraid of commitment, too. You may think we spend our time scheming ways to trap you into marriage, but many of us are quite happy being independent and autonomous. Besides, we're not in any rush to quit lusting after young Calvin Klein models."
12. Kyra Sedgwick
"Our friends are not your enemies, and our enemies better not be your friends."

I always put the toilet lid down just because I have had a string of clumsy GFs and am tired of 'losing' things to the toilet which I have to spend money to replace (see: makeup, toothbrushes, towels, etc)

Being one of those crabby groggy individuals when I first wake up, I expect the seat to be down. If its not, I am going to be really cranky if I dont manage to catch myself before I fall in.

While I don't quite 'get' the big deal, the toilet seat is definitely one of those pick-your-battles kinda things.
Why shouldn't women have to raise it when they're done, so we don't have to in order to avoid peeing all over the seat (a far more distressing condition, IMO), hmmmm?... whatever - "Yes ma'am, I'll try to do better and never forget it." :lol:
"Her name is Brian Dennehy."

I figure I'm the one scrubbing that toilet seat (thank gawd my hubby has good aim) and the entire rest of the bathroom, he can darn well put the seat down for me. I dont however say anything about it, unless I have indeed had an incident. :lol:

I think toilet seats should come a foot controller that a man could just step on, lifts the seat, then steps off and lowers the seat. Problem solved.

I believe it is a control thing with women.
When badgered to put the seat down, I make sure I do. But I also close the lid. Then they still have to operate something in order to pee, but can't say shit.

Falling in Sucks. That is all I have to say. My parents have a cool toilet that you just flick the seat and it gently lowers itself. Kinda nice actually.

"Even if we've only been dating a few weeks, don't introduce us as your 'lady friend' -- or that's exactly what we'll become."
Ok, this one I a) don't get and b) have gotten crap for. No I don't say "lady friend" but if she's introducing herself why do I get crap for not introducing them as my girlfriend? And what am I supposed to say if we haven't had the talk at this point?

I have his/hers bathrooms for the most part.
The upstairs bathroom is "hers" and if I use it, the lid goes down with the seat.
The basement bathroom is mine. The seat stays up.
Women should put the seat up for us, that way we don't piss on it because we don't feel like putting it up.

How bout just saying..."this is (insert name here)"? We don't always need our title announced. I personally don't like lady friend. Don't know why.
I think because it sounds "old" that I don't like it. Like something my Dad or Grandpa would say when referring to their, um, "lady friend".
Women should put the seat up for us, that way we don't piss on it because we don't feel like putting it up.
I've actually done this before. I leave it however I find it, although habit has me put the lid down too. I have dogs and don't want the drinking out of their since I put cleaners and such in. Erik has his own bathroom, so not a big deal. Not a big deal either way though.
As for the rest of them, I don't think most apply to me.
How bout just saying..."this is (insert name here)"? We don't always need our title announced. I personally don't like lady friend. Don't know why.

Lady Friend just sounds stupid and what's even worse is 'old lady'. There is no need for a title, my name will do fine. And if you call me either that's probably the end of our dating anyway so no biggie.
As for the toilet seat I just don't get it. Who cares ! seriously get over it, Who sits without looking anyway?

I also think "lady friend" and "old lady" sound stupid. And agree on the toilet seat. You have to walk toward the toilet, so you can see that the seat is up. Just put it down. Not that tough. My 4 year old has already learned to put the seat down when she goes into the bathroom, and doesn't bitch about it to me, either. :lol:

BTW, "lady" is a stupid word overall. Can't think of any time when I would ever use it.

I saw this on yahoo too and man, do I have opinions. Man opinions. Ladies, here's what men will never say to your face about the 12 things we don't know about you.
[QUOTE=Captain Morgan;308101]1. Christina Applegate
"Call us back right away. That 'three day' business does not apply. We're getting older, and we don't have time to screw around. Wait too long and we'll lose interest. Trust me on this one." There is no rule when I will call a girl back. Women cannot survive without head games, played either on themselves, those around them, or me. Thus, no matter when I call you back I know it will be wrong. And fuck your old ass Christina Applegate, if I've got to work two doubles in a row with five hours of sleep you get to wait. If your too desperate to do that then fine, go out and find another sucker to jump at your beck and call.
2. Courtney Cox
"We pay closer attention to your hands than you think. It's bad enough if you don't have manly hands, but if your nails are longer than ours, forget it." I can't disagree with this one. Men shouldn't have long nails.
3. Padma Lakshmi
"Some of us prefer boxing to yoga. None of us actually likes Pilates."And while that may be true, when I get the fights on Saturday night you're still expected to make yourself scarce
4. Alyssa Milano
"Women are innately self-conscious. This is not a choice; it's a genderwide condition. On a bad day, I look in the mirror and see my ten-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Bertha. On a really bad day, Bertha sees her two-hundred-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Brian Dennehy."Awesome, you're a nutjob just like every other chick on the planet. Here's a news flash - men are innately sick of your bullshit. It's a gender-wide frustration, and we've had way more than enough. I don't care if you feel like a blimp are about to slash your wrists - if I say you look fine, I better not hear another goddamn word about it. Fish for self-confidence reinforcement somewhere else. Unless your job is to look good nobody gives a shit, if I do, I'll tell you and yes, it'll be constructive. Stop asking me loaded questions, stop being psycho, and stop expecting a free pass on it.
5. Poppy Montgomery
"When considering whether or not to ask out the girl you're afraid to talk to, keep this in mind: No matter who you are or what you look like, it's always flattering when you hit on us. Always."Sure, that's why you're such bitches about it, because you're flattered?
6. Tea Leoni
"Supersecret: Unless we're blind or have no night-light in the bathroom, the whole toilet-seat thing is exaggerated and meant to control you."Big surprise. We know already, which is why we conveniently "forget"
7. Mariska Hargitay
"We love the fact that it takes you only twelve minutes to get ready for anything, be it a black tie [event] or a basketball game. When it takes longer than that... what are you doing in there?"None of your goddamn business. I'm probably going to the john, which is convenient because that's where I am. Instead of questioning what I'm doing why don't you leave me to enjoy the only private place left to me.
"We are all about our necks. Feel free to spend as much time there as you wish."Awesome for you. I'm all about my penis. Start spending some more time there or the only thing I'll want to do to your neck will take about 15 to 20 minutes and send me to prison.
8. Emily Deschanel
"Even if we've only been dating a few weeks, don't introduce us as your 'lady friend' -- or that's exactly what we'll become."I'll introduce you as whatever pops into my head and seems appropriate. Don't like it? There are lots of less pleasant alternatives, both for names to refer to you by and guys for you to be standing next to. Go investigate some examples of both. If you can go and graphically discuss all sorts of things about me, my body, and our possible future together I can call you whatever I want.
9. Jenna Fischer
"If we run into your ex-girlfriend in public, the first thing you should do is put your arm around us. And if we have to introduce ourselves, you are in big trouble."If we run into my ex-girlfriend in public I'm already going to have a shitty night, so you being a bitch about it is the wrong move, especially if you don't want to be the next ex I run into. Nothing to do with any of my life before you is your business. Let those moments happen free of your meddling and you'll last a lot longer around me.
10. Julie Delpy
"We need you to be reachable at all times, but we don't always pick up our phones when you call. We realize this seems like a double standard; if you'd like to discuss it further, just leave a message."Bitch, if I'm paying for your cell phone you better answer it when I call. I don't care if you're on the phone with God, if I call you better click over and see what the fuck I want. And don't expect to reach me all the time, I have a job. You know, it's that thing I do so I can pay for your cell phone? If I'm busy I'm not answering the phone. Fuck your double standard.
11. Maria Bello
"We're afraid of commitment, too. You may think we spend our time scheming ways to trap you into marriage, but many of us are quite happy being independent and autonomous. Besides, we're not in any rush to quit lusting after young Calvin Klein models."You're a fucking liar Maria Bello. You want to trap us and our money, and while you like looking at Calvin Klein models, if your Victoria Secret catalogue shows up while you're gone I'll get bitched at. Well fuck you.
12. Kyra Sedgwick
"Our friends are not your enemies, and our enemies better not be your friends."Your friends are out to get me and you both and we both fucking know it. As for my friends, again, that's none of your concern. The best course of action is for neither of us to be forced to spend time around each others' friends.

Hardy, har, har! MOST of you don't have the balls to take control of your relationships regardless of the girl's age. Most of you can't seem to realize that it's something like 2-1 female to male and that we actually have the upper hand in this situation. Most of you don't realize that a woman will respect you and want you more if you take charge and don't allow her to run the show. Most of you allow yourselves to be controlled by your dick and have yet to realize that your SO has a pussy, not THE pussy!
I'm not saying that you should be an asshole but the fawning and ass kissing isn't really getting you anywhere. Invariably, the women that I have treated to best, have been the ones that have cheated on me or treated me the worse. They need us as much, if not more than we need them. Realize this and truly understand it. Unfortunately, the equal partnership thing is almost impossible (women that tell you that they have it are really in charge), if someone is going to be the boss, why not make sure that it is you?

It's this very mindset that is the root of this problem. You HAVE to believe this way to gain the upper hand! When you factor in marriage, homosexuality, age, etc...by the time a man and a woman are about 35 or so the odds fall steeply in our favor! At least world wide. I must admit that there has been a steep increase in males being born in the last few decades... boo, hiss!

There's a pretty big spectrum between "fawning and ass kissing" and "controlling the relationship." I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that most sane women want a little bit of both of those things. In my experience, equality in a relationship ain't always illusion.

Hahaha! Whatever, it never ceases to amaze me how many of you pansies will automatically give up any rights in a relationship and allow yourselves to be led around by your dicks! I see them everyday at work, the wife totally runs the show. Some of these guys can't even make a $20 decision without consulting the "boss", pathetic! imho!
It's all a matter of leverage guys. In my case, she doesn't have any, so I get to do as I please. The reason that she doesn't have any leverage is that I didn't give her any. When she is nice to me and gives me what I want, I'm nice to her and give her what she wants. Period.
There is no such thing as an equal relationship. Someone always gives more/gets more. Someone always has the final say. That includes friendships, family, marriages, work, you name it. If you have two people with "equal" say and they want something different, how will it ever be resolved? Someone has to give in, usually the "weaker" partner.
I understand that things change when you have children, get married etc. How many guys you know that are in marriages because they don't want to lose their stuff, their children, etc. That's gotta suck!

I understand that things change when you have children, get married etc. How many guys you know that are in marriages because they don't want to lose their stuff, their children, etc. That's gotta suck!

Hahaha! Whatever, it never ceases to amaze me how many of you pansies will automatically give up any rights in a relationship and allow yourselves to be led around by your dicks! I see them everyday at work, the wife totally runs the show. Some of these guys can't even make a $20 decision without consulting the "boss", pathetic! imho!
It's all a matter of leverage guys. In my case, she doesn't have any, so I get to do as I please. The reason that she doesn't have any leverage is that I didn't give her any. When she is nice to me and gives me what I want, I'm nice to her and give her what she wants. Period.

It's this very mindset that is the root of this problem. You HAVE to believe this way to gain the upper hand! When you factor in marriage, homosexuality, age, etc...by the time a man and a woman are about 35 or so the odds fall steeply in our favor! At least world wide.
OK, I've factored in marriage..........Oh wait, a marriage includes both a man AND a woman, so she would be off the market too.
And ok, I've factored in homosexualtiy too.......Oh wait, women can be homesexual too.
So, your theory is.............what exactly?
Last I checked the Census, the USA was about 49% male, 51% female. Not exactly a 2:1 ratio :lol: :lol:

Thank you. Thats why its called a "partnership". Equal give and take.
Ha give me a break! I'm willing to bet that there are several non-equal aspects of your marriage. I'm not trying to pick on you but there are always things that the woman is allowed to do that the man isn't. For example, women can be friends with ex-boyfriends/fucks but can men? Especially if the girl in question is hotter? Women can have gay male friends., can your husband have hot lesbian friends? You can go out of town and stay with 10+ single men in a house...can your husband go out of town and stay with a bunch of hot single women (that you've never met, btw) in a house for a week or two? You realize that I'm just fucking with you but seriously, there isn't any such thing as a totally equal relationship. In fact, it's normally women who claim that it is...rarely do men say that everything is equal (unless she is around).
Equal,
You both work the same and contribute the same financially.
You both take care of the children equally and have an equal say in their upbringing.
You both take care of the yard work equally.
You both do the housework equally.
You both have the same say in how the house is decorated.
ETC...

:rofl: Equal doesnt equate to 50/50 on everything. Some things will be 70/30 or 90/10 based on the compromises that couples make, that doesnt mean they arent equals and dont have the same rights as individuals in the relationship.
For example: The house decorating in our home is 90/10. His 10% is moving the stuff around that I pick out. Why the non 50/50 ratio? Because he doesnt give a crap what I put in the house. He could live on a bean bag.
The finances are not 50/50 because I dont make near the money he does, but there are things that I do, not necessarily monetary that make up the difference.
House cleaning is 70/30. My 70, because I do the majority of the house (he may mop) but he does the laundry (which I despise) so that pretty much makes it 50/50 in my book.
Would I allow him to go spend time with his friends (hot females that I dont know)? Hell yeah, the same way he let me spend a few days with you bunch of psychos! :lol: Why? Because we have TRUST. I should put that in larger font.
TRUST
Is he friends with all his ex girlfriends and am I okay with this? Yes actually his last serious girlfriend is a very good friend of mine and we spend time with her and her husband fairly often. Weird, but it works. He is military, so after this year he will be gone alot. He deploys with female air crew. Im good with that, the same as he is good with me hanging out with my crazy motorcycle buddies.
I dont have the right to tell him he cant do things or spend time with people, as he doesnt have the right to tell me the same. We respect and trust each other and that makes us partners.

A lot of women adopt an "aloof" attitude that comes across as if they're too good for you, when in reality it's because they don't have the confidence to turn down a man politely.......So they just avoid talking to those men altogether.
The best women are those who aren't afraid to be friendly with any guy, even ones who they aren't attracted to.........Because they know that even if he asks her out, she has the communication skills to decline clearly yet politely, without offending him.

She thinks she pays too much, and I say she doesn't pay enough. She works a lot, me not so much.
She says she tries to help out around the house, as do I.
And she uses my car and the only money I ever see for that is the occasional 20 in fuel.
She thinks this is unfair. Even though she doesn't even pay 2/5. And now she wants to pay even less, and I refuse.
I've told her, I can have a roomate who pays me more and then I don't have to worry about them at all. Thing is, she'd have to find her own place, and its hard to find a place for 600 all inclusive like she gets here.

Not to take over Homeslice's role as resident nit picker but equal does mean 50/50 guys... I'm just saying that all of your "70/30"s and "90/10"s rarely average out to be an honest 50/50. I'm not saying that you can't be "satisfied" with the level of disparity. I'm saying that there IS disparity and you know it. If you wipe away all this "we're equal partners" bullshit and look deep down, you'll see that no matter how slight the difference in authority is, SOMEONE has the final say in your relationships. Just because one partner doesn't "give a shit" about a certain aspect of your lives and delegates that responsibility to you, doesn't change the fact that you're the First Mate to his Captain...

Well, my response is going to be predictable...but it depends on if you're willing to "compromise" that much. Personally, if you can afford it and you're willing to "pay" to have her around then it's all good. If you don't think that she is worth the expense, then go and find a girl that can either pay more to live there or that IS worth the extra money a month.
This is where the "equal partners" thing gets you. There was a time when men were more than happy to go to work and leave their SOs at home. Now we have an entire generation of women, not you girls apparently, that don't want to take care of the house alone and don't want to pay half either. I dumped a girl over this a few years ago. She thought that she could blow her money on whatever and I would cover the living expenses if she never actually moved ALL of her stuff in from her parents house. Plus my house would be a mess on top of it when I got home....Guess again. Now on the other hand, my last Michigan SO, got to pay much less than half because I decided that she was worth it. She kept the house clean, was fucking stupid hot and a porno star level FUCK!!!
I actually agree with tigger. Equal partners is a nice wording we use to try to make ourselves feel better, it never works out that way. One partner usually bites their tongue better and just accepts the role as submissive. There can only be one dominant.

What Anthony said.
I think Tigger has the biggest e-penis of anybody I've seen on the Internet. This whole thread has just made me laugh. I think what alot of people miss is that there is a huge difference between being *whipped* and respect.
There are things Carolina does. There are things I do. I've never kept *score* of who does what, and I know she doesn't either. People actually do that?
If you're keeping score, why bother being in a relationship? Seriously? I don't get that. If all you care about is quantifying who did what when and how much, get a cat. At least you know for a fact the cat won't be doing anything.
And for the record, I put the toilet seat down. Carolina has never once asked me to do so. It's just something I do.

Nobody keeps score. The only time I ever bring up paying more is when she gets on my case about some pointless shit. And its not everyday, its rarely even monthly. But, it does happen.
I shovelled the driveway twice the other night, and woke up early to shovel the car out to bring her to work. When I picked her up after work, she gave me shit about my snowpants being on the floor since she went to work.. You mean those pants that were outside longer than you were to make sure you could get into work? Ya, they've earned their right to be there.
Honestly, she is worth it. I wouldn't be doing it if she wereent.
Some of the arguments just don't make sense. I should pay more because I make more? Well then, I will be ending my contract at work ASAP, and taking a minimum wage job with zero stress and even less effort. You have fun carrying our bills... :lol

Tigger and Trip are right. I've been married six years, and a relationship is not equal. I bight my tongue about a lot of shit, whereas Ulu vents about everything. I pay all the bills except for her truck, and everything is in my name. She does all the housework except my laundry, I do the yard work. She does 90% of the kid-raising, I'm the one who beats him. Is our life equal? Fuck no, not even close? Do we both do our part so it evens out? No, hell no. I'm doing way more shit. Ask her and she'll tell you she does more. And yes we keep score, everybody does. The day I lose the moral high ground I have to start helping more, which is how we avoid fights, because I can tell when she's getting pissed and do an assessment, then up my workload for a while or contribute more in some other way (hence me sucking it up and coming to North Dakota, I'm fucking MILES ahead on the leaderboard after this little jaunt.) Relationships are all about doing shitty things you wouldn't have to if you were single. The goal is to do just enough shitty things, or the right shitty things, to make the other person happy they don't have to do those shitty things so they'll do something that makes you happy in return, which usually ends up being shitty for them. Your relationship works in the long term when you find a good balance of shitty things that make each other happy and you can stand. And eventually those things become a little less repugnant through familiarity, and that's what love is people. Overcoming a basic, inherent loathing through repetition generating a general numbness.

Depends on what you mean by "worse." Most guys are pretty straight forward about their motivation. You know what you're getting. Most women seem to have been reared on the teachings of Machiavelli. If a guy has ulterior motives when it comes to a friendship with a woman then you'll either find out about them in short order, or he'll just stop coming around. If a woman does, then it could be years before you have a clue what was really on her mind.
I've had several female friends who, while they said that they weren't looking for a relationship with me (which I was fine with, by the way), would still be obviously jealous when I was actually seeing someone.
Guys are monomaniacal, and it shows in all aspects of life. Women are multi-taskers, and it shows in all aspects of life.

So it's OK if you have multiple g/fs, but the those of us who have been married more than once are losers?

No,no, no I don't claim to be an expert on relationships. Nor am I saying that my way is the only way. I tend to end relationships rather quickly for various reasons. Oh and I never said that you all are "losers"...

Not to split hairs, but that's exactly how it's supposed to be done. You get the courtin' out of the way, then ya get hitched for life. You're supposed to have multiple bf/gf for that very reason. It's so you don't marry the first one that comes along and then get divorced.

Point made. But have met many people that spend decades looking for the "right one". Some people can never be happy no matter how many they date. Not that this applies to Tigger.
But those of us who have been married more than once were at least brave/stupid enough to give the other sex another chance.

That's what I have actually tried to tell this guy I know just the other day. He's marrying a girl that he has only dated for a couple months AND he's leaving for the Army in 6 months...not to mention that this chick is a total slut- the villiage bicycle type. Sucker.

The "right one" is a two way street. I'm 46; never married. Got close in my 20s (her idea) and it didn't happen (her idea also). I've met a couple of women over the years that I thought I could be happy with but since they didn't feel the same way, nothing ever came of it.
Keep in mind that most of the people who publish books on how to have the perfect relationship have had a lot of practise at it, with multiple partners ;)

If you're so happy, get married, then come talk to me in five years. Don't want to get married yet? Yeah, that's what I thought. And you're quite welcome for the jest.

Hahaha! Whatever, it never ceases to amaze me how many of you pansies will automatically give up any rights in a relationship and allow yourselves to be led around by your dicks! I see them everyday at work, the wife totally runs the show. Some of these guys can't even make a $20 decision without consulting the "boss", pathetic! imho!
It's all a matter of leverage guys. In my case, she doesn't have any, so I get to do as I please. The reason that she doesn't have any leverage is that I didn't give her any. When she is nice to me and gives me what I want, I'm nice to her and give her what she wants. Period.
There is no such thing as an equal relationship. Someone always gives more/gets more. Someone always has the final say. That includes friendships, family, marriages, work, you name it. If you have two people with "equal" say and they want something different, how will it ever be resolved? Someone has to give in, usually the "weaker" partner.
I understand that things change when you have children, get married etc. How many guys you know that are in marriages because they don't want to lose their stuff, their children, etc. That's gotta suck!
I don't mean to reign in on your parade, but isn't the girl you are seeing 21 or so and still in college? And she is living with you or not? If she is living with you, she is getting free room and board instead of paying for a dorm or renting a house....now when her intern comes (this summer from another thread) you are going to break up. BUT!!! It is because you don't like long distance relationships, not because she persuaded you to do so? Coincidence or not?

Am I an ass because I refuse to cover my girlfriends share?
She thinks she pays too much, and I say she doesn't pay enough. She works a lot, me not so much.
She says she tries to help out around the house, as do I.
And she uses my car and the only money I ever see for that is the occasional 20 in fuel.
She thinks this is unfair. Even though she doesn't even pay 2/5. And now she wants to pay even less, and I refuse.
I've told her, I can have a roomate who pays me more and then I don't have to worry about them at all. Thing is, she'd have to find her own place, and its hard to find a place for 600 all inclusive like she gets here.
What do you all think? Am I charging her top much?
A g/f is a chick you go drive to her house to take out. A wife is the one who moves in.
Did you expect her to pay half without a contract? lol

But those of us who have been married more than once were at least brave/stupid enough to give the other sex another chance.
Some people would say this of me. However, it hasn't been decades yet, and I'm not really "looking" very hard. I'm just dating when I get a chance and if I meet the right one, so be it. Just hasn't happened yet. A friend of mine once said he doesn't want to die alone. He's married to a bitch because he doesn't want to get divorced for a 3rd time. I think I prefer being single. :lol:

No it isn't "perspective", it's reality...and don't you mean "rain on my parade"?
She doesn't live with me-she has her own apartment and pays more rent than I do. Trust me, IF she lived with me, she would be required to pay rent.
She is in college but she is far from hurting for money- In fact her 21 year old ass did something you can't, she bought a new motorcycle with cash. Oh and bought a 2008 Ninja 250 last Spring, also for cash.
Her degree requires an internship, there is no decision there to be made. She leaves, we're through. IF she manages to get her internship locally, we'll see.
FWIW I don't claim to control what she does but I do claim to control what I do and what I will put up with. Period.

3 months?...sigh... where do you get your facts?For one, she is not from here so she will have no reason to come back here... and she has to go to graduate school in 2011. You know bud, you a pretty good fact check girl but seriously, why would you pretend to know what we are doing?
FTR Of course, I would stop seeing someone that I dated for 6 months if they left for 3... why not? If she wants to keep the option open for future relations, okay but I won't stay committed to someone who isn't here. I guess I'm just a jerk.

Who needs Christmas presents, this board is more than enough entertainment!
I liked being married, just chose the wrong ones. I've always paid my own bills, still do even living with someone. Sometimes being with someone is great, other times it's hell. If this relationship goes in the dumpster, I'll happily live alone, maybe find a screw buddy that rides a bike and wants to travel.
3 months?...sigh... where do you get your facts?
I am betting it was an assumption of an internship lasting just over the summer and then her coming back to grad school, since summer is 3 months.
Pretty reasonable assumption.

Has she given you any indication that this graduate school would probably be somewhere else? I don't remember you saying so, but then again I don't read all your posts :idk:

I don't put even 10% of what happens to me on this forum but anyway, it is a bad habit that I need to get a handle on. The problem is that this forum started with a "few" friends that some interest in each others daily lives and now it's populated with a bunch of people who are haters and don't give a fuck about each other, other than other forum cliques and regional groups. The people that I was "friends" with are mostly gone or rarely post on here anymore. I needed to recognize this,Thank you for pointing this out to me.

You need to put a stop to that shit NOW. Tell her if she wants a divorce you'll drive to the lawyer, but otherwise she better never mention that shit again, unless she wants it. Having your keys and/or a lawyer's card in your hand helps underscore the point. Ulu tried that garbage a few years ago before Poot. The second time she mentioned it I told her if she said the word divorce to me again it would be serious and I didn't want to hear it just to create drama. A couple months later she tried it a third time. I got up, went and got the pre-prepared package I picked up at legal and dropped that shit on the table. Told her if she wanted a divorce all she had to do was sign and if she wanted one to sign now, otherwise never say that fucking word to me again, I take that shit serious. Needless to say she didn't really want one and I threw the papers away.
I'm not trying to be a badass, and I know women play little games but ladies, this is important: Never throw the possibility of your marriage ending out to make a point or get what you want. That is way to serious to be used in an argument. Nobody wants to be in a relationship they have to convince the other person to be in. If you want to leave GTFO, but don't ever throw that out there for emotional manipulation, it's shitty and beneath you and the heartbreak of a divorce is not to be taken lightly, I don't care how pissed you are or how badly you want to win an argument. That little argument is today, divorce is for fucking ever.
In the same vein, the next time a chick (or anyone for that matter) say something like "Well why don't I just kill myself then" They're getting slapped in the mouth. Doing something like that scars those that love you for life, and saying something because your little pussy hurts is despicable beyond description.
