Woman? Are they really worth the hassle? I hope so!

[Gareth123]

Bloody hell, I'd arranged to have dinner tonight with a young lass that I quite fancy. I've known her for a while (month or so) so thought I'd better go to a bit of effort before asking if she wanted to take things further. Bought a couple of salmon fillets, nice bottle of wine, made dessert, cleaned up a bit. You know the general things a guy will do to get his end away :innocent:

This was arranged yesterday morning. My brother knows about it cos I kicked him out for the night just in case things went well.

I had to pick her up from her place as her car had broken down.

I turn up there tonight and knock on the door. Her father answers and I ask if the young lass is home. Nope sorry not at the moment. Oh where's she gone?

Long story short she's left me high and dry and not even a phone call to say she couldn't make it. The look of pity on her parent's faces, I'll never forget it. I have to say I was slightly embarrassed, and it takes ALOT to embarrass me!

Time to move on and spend my precious time on someone else.

Anyone want to come round and enjoy a nice salmon fillet, glass of wine and dessert? I'm bored outta my tree. I think I'll go and get pissed.

Rant over!

[FJRider]

Apparently ... they are worth the effort .... :yes: Ask any (most) women .... :innocent:

[JellyBellyKelly]

what a bitch!!! we're not all like that!!!!!!

i don't like salmon but am having a drink while perving the net, so can pretend we're having a drink together if you like - i did have friends over but they've gone so i'm now finishing the bottle - cos alcohol goes off if you leave it don't you know........... :)

Thats why us kiwis consume it so fast! We know that it gets "stale?" if left for more than a couple of hours after opening.

[rustic101]

Yip some days I'm glad I am deeply involved in a virtual romance lol

Ok so its net porn but hey....

What was the cost of the meal, wine, and travel to her place? It may have been easier to got visit a professional IMO

[lorenzo.V]

Reading this made me sad and hungry. I'm sorry to hear about your let-down tonight. She was obviously not the one for you. I've had similar situations like this before too. Some women aren't worth the hassle, but the right one is worth their weight in gold.
I hope you have better luck next time...and good on ya for putting in the effort!

[Gareth123]

Yip some days I'm glad I am deeply involved in a virtual romance lol

Ok so its net porn but hey....

What was the cost of the meal, wine, and travel to her place? It may have been easier to got visit a professional IMO

Wine $20
Salmon fillets, side dish and dessert $30
Travel $4
Total $54

Hey if I'd saved that money I'd have half a shag? If someone could confirm current prices...

[Mom]

Apparently ... they are. :yes: Ask any (most) women .... :innocent:

I would be sad to think that was true. I did the almost exact oppostie to Maha the first "date" we had.

It seems the messages were a bit mixed, she did not realise you were serious maybe, always look for the bright side.

That sucks though.

[rustic101]

I have been lead to believe that for $120ish(neg) you could release all the worries of the world, for a fiddy you could perhaps just get a helping hand sharing some of your worries.. Then again you have have just helped yourself and put the money into Bonus Bonds ;)

[Berries]

Sorry dude. She's on her way back home now.

And it was only $100, if you really want that confirming.

Seriously though, first meal, eat out.

[dogsnbikes]

At least you can have seconds tomorrow night(dinner That is)

Yeah they worth it when ya find the right women

[Gareth123]

It seems the messages were a bit mixed, she did not realise you were serious maybe, always look for the bright side.



I didn't want to date her when we first became friends. I'm more gutted she didn't let me know she couldn't come or perhaps didn't want too. Mainly because it made me look like an idiot.

[rustic101]

Cheques in the mail....

[rustic101]

Ahhh friends... Never works 'friends don't do friends'

[kevfromcoro]

strange blokes those shelias....................
sometimes its better to buy it than keep it....
got a few contacts if you are interested.......
cheep.................

[JellyBellyKelly]

if you work it right you probably wouldn't have to pay for it - isn't there something about the way you sit your bananas in the shopping trolley....... or be in the bar at closing time??????

[rustic101]

@Rumgirl. So you have been to the New World in Thorndon on a Tuesday night.. lol

[kevfromcoro]

if you work it right you probably wouldn't have to pay for it - isn't there something about the way you sit your bananas in the shopping trolley....... or be in the bar at closing time??????


haha.. just heard about that one.....
iam in OZ and its a big thing here....
Bananas in the front of the trolley....
Its true.............................................. .....................

[MadDuck]

Anyone want to come round and enjoy a nice salmon fillet, glass of wine and dessert? Yes please. I love salmon and am quite partial to wine :yes:

EDIT: to answer your question. They are if you find the right one

[JellyBellyKelly]

@Rumgirl. So you have been to the New World in Thorndon on a Tuesday night.. lol

no.... i'm in chch, but have heard rumours......:innocent:

[Blackshear]

Don't worry bro, we all go through some form or another.
I booked a table at a not-too-formal restaurant in town for a girl I quite fancy, long story short ended up inviting a friend along at the last minute.
We were both stuffed off our faces, and it was only a single main meal.
I managed to get a glorious picnic out of her on the Sunday following, though. Didn't even get a kiss on the cheeks, hint taken :(

[rustic101]

Well sadly its true, however you have to watch for the 'crazy eyes'... Its my favourite supermarket and I would prefer to keep going back without having to do command rolls around the isle to avoid those crazy impulse purchase mistakes lol

[JellyBellyKelly]

so which way do you point your banana's - and what does it get you???????? purely curious of course.....

[munster]

Dude, she wasn't worthy of your effort. Move on. Someone else will appreciate it one day.

[rustic101]

so which way do you point your banana's - and what does it get you???????? purely curious of course.....

Personally I'm strictly a; bunch facing up with the joined pieces facing me, as I push the trolley. My understanding is that if you are a member of GLBT then its points down and either facing you or away from you dependant of if you give or take (or so I have been told)....

[rustic101]

hen again I normally just look and crash into others (typical male). Would say hi if I was not so shy. It sucks being an introverted extrovert sometimes lol

[MadDuck]

I buy apples because I cant work out the whole banana thing :sunny:

[rustic101]

You don't do pairs (peers) hehe

[CookMySock]

Long story short she's left me high and dry and not even a phone call to say she couldn't make it. The look of pity on her parent's faces, I'll never forget it. I have to say I was slightly embarrassed, and it takes ALOT to embarrass me!Taking chix out is like applying for jobs.

1.) Get as many applications out as you can

2.) Get as many interviews as you can

3.) Get as many offers as you can

4.) Take the best offer you get, but don't tell the others "no" straight away.

If you prepare for 100% success to only 1% of step one, you are going to be disappointed.

So what does it mean when you have to run your own business?

;)

[mashman]

Wine $20
Salmon fillets, side dish and dessert $30
Travel $4
Total $54

Hey if I'd saved that money I'd have half a shag? If someone could confirm current prices...

That's, erm, $10 per finger with $4 left over for the tip... if ya know what I mean?

Chin up fella.

Girls are like investments:

You gotta diversify and play the market, you can't have all your eggs in one basket.

Some will turn out to be junk bonds, or toxic assests - but others will have incredibly high ROI.

Girls are like a box of chocolates, some you like, some you don't, some always get grabbed first before you do, the ones left behind are only reluctantly taken, the gooey centers are always a favourite, whey they are on special its good on your wallet ... and if you don't want any, someone else always will .... :dodge: :whistle: :innocent: :devil2:

[jim.cox]

If it has Tits or Wheels - it will give yoiu trouble in the end

[avgas]

Nope they aren't worth it.
Buy another bike and some whores. Save yourself the money and trouble.

[Grasshopperus]

Woman? Are they really worth the hassle? I hope so!

Well, they're a lot better looking than the other sex.

[MSTRS]

Well said. Go the "do whatever you want whenever you can afford to and not have to tell any bastard about it" route.

Moving in with a woman is like moving in with the olds. Keep that shit casual!

[Maha]

Dont care if the word 'hassle' enters into our day to day or week to week shit at any one time, my wife is worth it.

[firefighter]

Dont care if the word 'hassle' enters into our day to day or week to week shit at any one time, my wife is worth it.

Yeah but that is age dependant. I think the worst mistake is to get tied down or too serious before you're 30, and just as bad is being alone after that.

[Maha]

Yeah but that is age dependant. I think the worst mistake is to get tied down or too serious before you're 30, and just as bad is being alone after that.

Being 47yrs old means I just scrape through then.
I was married first time round for ten years, and yes, no fun being alone half way into your 30's.
We are both in it for keeps this time.

[jim.cox]

'tll she grows old, mean & tired of you

You have to say that,noone wants a carpet muncher(layer) because ya knees are rooted.Oh wait your supposed to get her on her knees,as you were.

Seriously agree with you re 30's and single(well late)was fun times,but with maturity comes realisation life alone can be no fun.Glad my folks found other partners when they did,can't imagine them alone now they're late 60's,and lots pf folks are alone for years after their partners died,my grandmother and ma in law case and points,both husbands died when they were mid 40's and kids to look after,then never found companionship,long time alive and alone,thank god the latest generation have the right idea,age is no barrier to finding a partner.

[Mudfart]

no women are not worth it. stay single and pay for a professional lover once a week. its waaayyyyy cheaper, and you get your life to yourself.
whatever happens dont fuckin get married, thats really dumb. and think bloody hard before baking your bread in her oven. thats when you cant just jump on your bike anymore and go wherever the fuck you want. thats if you get to keep the bike, coz she gonna want a house, and a couple of nice cars first. it will become absolutely vital to be concerned about what the neighbours think of you.
and you will have to clean the house, a lot. and she will still claim she does all the housework.

You paint such a rosy picture!

[cc rider]

Sounds like it's more about the pricking then the roses.

Gareth, Just think, out there right now is a beautiful (is in the eye of the beholder), exciting, honest, loving woman who's wondering if there 's any 'nice' guys left. Maybe you both haven't bumped into each other yet... or maybe you have

Stay true to who you are & the right lady will know :love:

It's easy to see YOU chose the right one first off!:laugh::doh:

[Genie]

and i'm here wondering if men really are worth the hassle.

We all make some bad choices and from those situations comes learning. Learn and move on, there is always better out there...well I'm going to believe that and when I met Mr Wonderful I'll let you know

[Mudfart]

you only have one life, if you sit still for long enough for one female of the species to trick you, then you are the fool.

[Jonathan]

I'm with Mudfart (except for maybe the use of prostitutes). Women will use their wiles to draw you into their trap and then slowly and subtly they begin to drain your life, your freedom, and your money away. So subtle is it that you don't notice UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE!

Finally, when you realise, you try to escape! But lo! They have ways of keeping you in their clutches. They are not afraid to use any and all of the sinister tools they have at their disposal! (and believe me, there are many)

The lucky few who ultimately do make it out alive are left permanently scarred. Although they have been through much terror and hardship a void has been left in their life as they no longer remember how it is to live alone and free. In the end the void is too much to bear and the only way out is to once again fall prey to a woman's grim designs...

I better give CB a heads-up on what is actually expected of her - she's letting her team down.:shifty:

[Fatt Max]

All I can say on this, especially under present circumstances, is to stay true to yourself no matter what.

What ever you see that truth as, it must be yours and yours forever.

It's not good to be a liar, worse still if the one you lie to the most is yourself.

Yes women are worth the hassle, yes women are worth the effort, espescially when you find one that puts in as much as you do. The one that brings a smile to your face just by thinking of her. The one that lights up your world when you're in her presence. The one that causes all the blood in your body to race wildly and bubble in anticipation of what is to come. The one that doesn't mind if you're late as long as you're there. The one that looks deep into your eyes and you just "know".......yes, they are well and truely worth it.

....and sometimes they just want to see how much effort you are prepared to put in before they commit, it's a huge thing for any person to let another into their lives, but when they do you.....ahhhhh 'tis a truely beautiful thing.

how did you know I call her the boss?

[SPman]

If it has Tits or Wheels - it will give yoiu trouble in the end
which end?

[Lissa]

The person who loves the least rules the relationship. Seems you put in all the effort and well she just couldnt be bothered with you. Don't waste your time. Find someone who respects you enough to contact you at least to say she cant make it, its not hard to make a phone call. The secret to a good relationship (I think) is someone who is honest with you, and who wants to be with you, but also respects that you are both individuals. Basically find someone who has the same expectations as you.

[cc rider]

how did you know I call her the boss?she sent a memo
