assuming you do?

for some ppl, after all, the answer is going to be zero, and I'm not necessarily confining that to those ppl who are attached. You know, it is quite coomonplace to hear ppl saying "If it happens it happens" or even "If you go round WANTING it to happpen then it WON'T happen, it only happens when you least expect it".

Does actively looking include catching the eye of pretty girls in the street?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 28 August 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Per week:

Actively looking - 5 minutes or so
Thinking about actively looking - 45-60 minutes
Convincing myself that it's probably not worth the bother - 2 maybe 3 hours

Does actively searching include grudge fucks?

I'm so getting one of those badges for the mister.

None at present, but when I have been it's been an hour or two minimum a week, several hours (maybe ten or more) some weeks, maybe one in four.

I expect to find one when I am 72

Actively pursuing someone NEVER works for me. If I meet a woman who strikes my fancy, I really have to relax and let things work themselves out over time. Otherwise, nothing happens.

I have kind of accepted that I'm never going to have any relationships with anyone ever again.

I'm sorry to hear that. What makes you think so?

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 28 August 2004 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Because it just isn't going to happen. Nobody is going to find me attractive on sight, because I just don't look attractive. Nobody is going to find me attractive over time, because sooner or later I'm going to do something incredibly stupid and destructive which will drive them away from me.

― caitlin (caitlin), Saturday, 28 August 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

(like posting posts like that on threads like this. I should get one of those badges.)

― caitlin (caitlin), Saturday, 28 August 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

None. But I sometimes feel that perhaps I should eb looking.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 28 August 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

what do you do the other 3 hours a day?

― dave k, Saturday, 28 August 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i study maths

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 28 August 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

any cute girls wanna hook up?

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Saturday, 28 August 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

(that took 7 seconds, and it's the most I've done in months)

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Saturday, 28 August 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

You suave man.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 28 August 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

none, because damn it all, i'm done being the girl who always asks the guy!

― Maria (Maria), Sunday, 29 August 2004 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

wait, those exist?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I found my perfect partner but her dad intervened. Sigh...

I did meet two girls who new her though, which is the next best thing...right?

― Sir Dante Evans (Sean3), Sunday, 29 August 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, jess, and they feel very unwanted :P

― Maria (Maria), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

clearly you're not asking the right class of men

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

try slightly shady balding loners with paunches who hunch over and look uncomfortable in most social situations

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Get a room.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't Sinead O'Connor already married?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, the issue isn't refusal, it's that some girls just have guys falling over them and then some of us have to be like "HEY! OVER HERE!"

― Maria (Maria), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:09 (twenty-one years ago)

to the sea.

xpost

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:10 (twenty-one years ago)

or to god. whatever.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Same difference.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Sea hippy.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 29 August 2004 01:45 (twenty-one years ago)

― joseph pot (STINKOR™), Sunday, 29 August 2004 02:03 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a pharell joke in here too somewhere

― g--ff (gcannon), Sunday, 29 August 2004 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

slightly shady balding loners with paunches who hunch over and look uncomfortable in most social situations who study maths are attractive.

― youn, Sunday, 29 August 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

You really think so? Naaaaw.

― jim wentworth (wench), Sunday, 29 August 2004 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Interesting thread for me, not having read this place for ages, since 'very little time' has recently become 'absolutely none!' since my earlier efforts have netted me a stalker!

(No, this is not a joke. And why are stalkers always butt-ugly, anyway?)

― _chrissie (chrissie1068), Sunday, 29 August 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Frankly, I'd say most butts are more attractive than most stalkers.

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 29 August 2004 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

the search consumes my soul like a wildfire, burning away all the leaves until there is nothing but an ashen skeleton. just when you think you've completed the quest, "something" always comes up.

pain....pain....pain.....

(I'm only half joking...)
