I'm a skinny guy, and I don't have a girlfriend right now either! So BAH! You're theories shot. Skinny guys of the world unite, and stand up to Pharris and his popycock theories!
DAMN STRAIGHT. Girls don't just look for skinny, emaciated guys who have no chest hair and do choreographed dance moves with three or four other guys with whom they have a dubious, latently homosexual relationship. Or even just skinny guys like myself. I think there was a movie a few years back called The Tao of Steve or something. If I remember correctly, the movie follows a rather unattractive man who, due to a certain method he developed, gets more women than Wilt Chamberlain (okay, well, maybe not that much, but you get the idea). The point is, and I'm sure that the girls on the site may agree with me on this, that, and this is coming from many a conversation with women-friends, any guy who has a good, sparkling, witty personality is infinitely more attractive than a hunk with absolutely no personality whatsoever.
Or atleast, that's what I'm banking on.

The Tao of Steve is one of my favourite movies. The theory inside it is probably VERY true...I'd suggest everyone rent it and meet back here after the show for tea and crackers and a discussion group.
By the way, Steve is played by Donal Logue, who I consider underappreciated despite his regretable sitcom.

Yes, Grounded For Life. I actually consider it much better faire than almost any other sitcom on the market...but that really doesn't say much.
Disclaimer: The agreement in the preceeding statement is in no way a denial of the pre-established fact that the Shostie in question is both stupid AND confused.

Thats another thing im fed up with - Hollywood feedin us this nonsense that fat men get hot wives...
It gives false hope, man...
Examples of this travesty:
Grounded for life (yeah, SURE... that chick is SO hot and he is .. well, hes fat AND ugly looking! But it is a great show...)
The Honeymooners (And by that through, The FLintstones)
King of Queens (Again, that chick is WAY fucking hot)
According to Jim
...and I just know there are many moe shining examples...

Oh yes, it happens. Hey, im with a 'hottie' in the picture in question...
Im not saying its an impossibility... its just a rarity.
Women are trained to go for looks, and ESPECIALLY, money. If a guy's got cash, hes got Gash.
Now, this is an empty and void thing, but it exisists nonetheless.
(Im not suggesting that my doppleganger friend of yours' girlfriend is with him for money, im just trhowing ideas out there about MOST women)
Th point today is that most women dont understand relationships. And its not really their fault. They are trained to find the best possible breeding stock with the most moeny available to them. The more attractive they are, the more looks and money this potential suitor is going to require.
What I hope is (Horribly offensive 'Pharris' diatribe coming) that these women who conscienciously worry only about stature and money, etc. find themselves alone and wretched, when their trophy status becomes null with their man finding a more attractive and younger girl some time down the road. I also hope that the weathly men in these situations were planning in advance with a strict and firm prenup.
Am I being cruel? Sure am. I wish evil EVIL things on most people who walk this planet. I dont care. Say what you will about me, but I am an evil bastard.
Some other things I wish for vengance on the world...
I wish uterine or testicular cancer on anyone who has ever cheated on a girlfriend/boyfriend or spouse. Furthermore, if said person has children, I sincerley hope they lose custody (Through a very public and PAINFUl mudslinging trial) and suffers immensley at doing so.
I hope that every 'hottie' chick or guy (as we seem to be calling them on this board today) that has EVER rejected someone less 'attractive' as they are finds themselves fat, wrinkled and unwanted in a few short years. Vengence is sweet.
I hope that anyone who takes a trophy wife suffers without love.. and anyone who has wantonly become a trophy wife suffers similar indignities.
Lastly, I hope that all of the good hearted beautiful people (There has to be SOME out there) finds someone who will truly love them, despite their outer beauty. I truly do. I know somewhere there are some really good looking girls (and hey, some guys too.. ive got to be fair about this!) who may just not realize that they are indeed great looking. And who knows.. maybe some of them will find that weird looking guy or that chubby girl and find more love.
It could happen... Hey, dont judge me too harshly.. i just watch 'Beauty and the Beast'...What can I say, im esily influenced.

Well then look forward to your wrinkles and fatness because you have rejected plenty of women because they were not hot enough. You are one of the most criticle people when it comes to a girls looks so how can you have this ridiculous double standard? If you are not attracted to someone, you are not attracted to someone. Physical attractiveness does play a huge part in relationships. You can't force yourself to be attracted to someone you're not, even if their personality is stellar. Personality of course plays just as big of a role. If you just attracted to a hottie, but you can't stand the sound of her voice and want to claw your eyes out when she speaks. Then that's not going to work either. It's a combo. A happy meal of love if you will. All the pieces need to be working together.

Allrighteee then.
Yes Blackout I agree that we attract things into our life that mirror the limitations we set in our minds, however as far as being mysogynistic and attracting girls goes, I don't think the two necessarily conflict. I shall elaborate. I have known many a girl gettin' man in my day, and I have found that they are, in fact, the most mysogynistic of all men! Yes even more than the no ass gettin' other 95% of the male gender. A good looking male friend of mine once said in response to my inquiry asking just how it was that he could in fact hate women as much as he did when he got laid every night, "How can I fuckin' respect these bitches that have no respect for themselves? I can do anything that I want to them and they still fuckin' call me everyday." The words of a poet I know. Also, as much as they bash women, do you ever see rap stars struggling to find scantily clad chicks to shake that ass in one of their videos??
As I said once before, many PEOPLE will put up with attractive people's bullshit. Sad but true. The thing is though. Can we really blame attractive people for their behavior? By attractive I mean the 8 to 10% of humans that are really really good looking. I don't mean to say that all very attractive people act like jackoffs, but a great many of them do. Think about this. If you are an attractive person you do not lead a normal life. Your whole lifestyle is based upon the fact that everyone treats you differently. Every where you go all day every day people are trying to fuck you. It's really that simple. AND...if you are attractive, chances are that you've been attractive for a few years and have thus been subject to everyone's sexual advances for probably most of your life. Ultimately everyone is responsible for their own actions, but are we really surprised that hotties frequently turn out to be jackoffs? WE TRAIN THEM TO BE by putting up with their bullshit. Remember when you were in Middle and High school? Most of the popular kids were the really attractive ones. What happens is that they learn early on that they DO NOT require things the rest of us need in order to mate successfully. Some of these things include but are not limited to:
tact, intelligence, class, patience, knowledge of anything other than cheerleading, football, cars, and beer, a conscience, kindness, compassion, etc.
So Pharris before you lash out at hot girls remember that you have helped make them into the moral abhorrations that they are. MAybe you can take comfort in this though. Women are attracted to wealthy, handsome, and famous men, "bad boys" as we'll call them. No one can deny this. Just ask Jay-Z. Fortunately for the rest of maledom the shelf life of such individuals is a short one. Why? Because women eventually tire of the bad boy, That is if the bad boy lets them hang around long enough to allow them to become disenfranchised. No one can blame a woman for being attracted to such men. They are exciting. It's true. I've got cable. BUT, it is a wise, and mature woman that can understand the difference between what she wants and what she needs. The rest will just remain fodder for the bad boy armada. Sadly, few women ever reach this level of thought. I've also been told by reliable sources that bad boys are not always so great in bed. A side effect of egotism at its finest I suppose.

In my verbosity I forgot to also mention that women also are attracted to kind, intelligent, confident, and laid back men. It seems to me that this would be the better route for you to go dear Pharris. Obviously displaying such qualities will not rival the girl getting power of the bad boy, but do you need to have sex with all the women? Perhaps just a few will suffice. I still maintain that girls won't dig you just for being an asshole, but it'll be fun to watch you try.
Good luck

Come on folks this thread is declining in quality. What was a once a forum for some very profound musings on perhaps the most profound of all subjects has regressed to mere frat boy highjinx. Have any of us found the love of our lives yet? Do any of us think we will? Let's get back to form.
WHY IS LOVE SO DIFFICULT TO FIND? Or is it just me?

Perhaps naming your Penis and Finding Love are somehow related? Perhaps a well-named Penis, say "Stiffy" or "Stickman" will attract more ladies than say a Penis named "Drippy" or "Gert". At the very least a well named Penis will be more memorable.
I could've sworn there was a saying, "It's not the size that matters, but the moniker by which you refer to it". I recently was approached for Corporate Sponsorship of mine. I'm still debating weather to go with "The Office Depot Box Opener" or "Home Depot's - The Hammer". Both offers were very lucrative.
Love truly comes in many forms. And unrequited Love of ones Penis (your first love, yes?), can ultimately be the first step in allowing yourself to be loved. And allowing your "Anaheim Angel's Thunderstick" to be loved as well.
-SAH
PS: Anaheim Angel's Thunderstick is a sports reference and may confuse some readers. All Penis names are copyrighted and cannot be used without consent - or unless you are female and naked.

I fervently believe love is so difficult to find because both sexes have been conditioned since youth by an un-ending barrage of sexual-charged media imagery that precludes the need for an outdated theory such as "love" to exist.
Nobody wants to invest the time, energy, and emotional weight when they can simply have a good time and walk away.

Here's a question. Is there such a thing as "the love of our lives"? Or does it only exist in Merchant Ivory films and Isak Dinesen novels. I am not being cynical - just wondering if we can indeed find that one person that will fit us and all our quirks for the rest of our adult lives. Are we being realistic? We even get married to begin with? There is a theory that we are not even meant to mate for life...it is against human nature. Interestingly, I read that birds are the most monogamous species out there, 90% do mate for life.
------
The theory that monogamy originated from an equal partnership in "child-rearing" explains why only a small percentage (approximately three-percent) of mammals are monogamous (3). In mammals, females alone produce milk for the young. The percentage of primates that are monogamous is, however, considerably higheræperhaps as large as fifteen percent. Most other mammals practice either promiscuity or polygyny (4).
In promiscuity animals have many mates and, furthermore, no relationships with those mates beyond the act of sex. The reproductive strategy for promiscuous species seems to be the spreading of sperm widely and abundantly. Males who have faithful mates, whether one or a harem of faithful females, use their energy instead to secure the territory for their partners and offspring, thereby giving the young ones a better chance to grow to adulthood (4).
Polygyny describes a situation in which a single male mates with multiple females. Some scientists have even placed Homo sapiens in this category by citing studies of human culture in which four in five societies practice polygyny. The difference is that species other than humans do not make the pretense of faithfully bonding for life (2, 4).
Researchers observe that these different strategies are revealed in the size of an animal's testes. Chimpanzees and gorillas provide a nice example. Chimps are promiscuous, and gorillas are polygynous. Male gorilla bodies are about four times bigger that male chimp bodies, but the chimps' testes are four times larger than gorillas'--sixteen times larger, proportionally.(4)
The chimps have larger testes because it is important for them to have sex with many females and spread their seed. They are not committed to any one female, and they have no assurance of the survival of their children because they are not obligated to care for any particular one. Gorillas, on the other hand, are committed to a group of females. They devote less energy to spreading their genes and more to protecting their territory and providing for their females and their children. Thus, they do not need larger testes (4).

Leave it to elf to research this and report back to you guys.
Pharris, I see that your new persona is really being worked on. Well done - what a way to make sure that you attract chicks if you call them vapid. Insults are a tremendous aphrodisiac.

I'd like to think that there is "one person out there for every other person," I just haven't found the girl yet. I'm starting to question whether or not she's actually IN this country.
Oh well. I guess I'll just continue on my current "tag and release" program. That is to say, with a gun, I fire tranquilizer darts into a hot girl's neck. Then, while she's unconscious, I attach a large plastic collar with a GPS system. It makes the cute girls easier to stalk... I mean, track! Track!

I highly doubt there's one specific person programmed to be "yours", but I find it very mathematically likely that there's, statistically, at least one person programmed to be close enough to your mental image that you ascribe to them the title of "the one".

Oh boy, where do I begin...
Does my OLD persona answer this or does the new and imporved Slick-ass Playa Gangsta Pharris with the Thug accessory pack?
Here are my thoughts either way...
I do not necessarily believe that 'destiny' creates one other soul for you - thats kinda silly. Why would that person always live within a 30 miles radius of you? Its just not logical.
However - I believe that you CREATE your standing as the one, through your actions, emotions and behaviour.
For example...
You meet someone, you click, you go on a date, youre very attracted and you feel that special 'instant connection'. You may fall head over heels in just a matter of minutes.
Is this person 'The One'?
Well, if you continue your relationship, they commit themselves to you through with their time, their energy, their love and emotions...
Guess what?
They're the one.
as the saying goes, the key to life is to love someone and be loved in return.
If you have that going for you, then most certainly, you have found 'the one'. And so has your mate.
Now, if one of you starts acting like a shit head, cheating on you, oh, I dont know, lets say she stabs you in the side with a letter opener and then while you're at work she packs up all of her AND your stuff and takes off back to georgia - well, maybe shes not the one.
She WAS, at one point, but her actions changed the status.
Now, as another example, (one for the ladies) Lets say you meet this groovy guy, sure, hes a bit husky and hasnt shaved in a few weeks, but he's really cool and super smart & funny.. and his enormously thick penis just adds to the pot...
Well, he COULD be the one!
Now, again, if he kicks your dog or sleeps with all of your sorority sisters or some other such infraction, it's plainly clear that the relationship will end and his 'The One' status will be revoked.
It all amounts to this - If someone is your signifigant other, and you are happy with them and they you, they are the one. You dont need to continue to look, becuase you found someone to fill the romantic-mate-partner-spouse role.
If they for whatever reason cease to fill that role, you look until you find another 'one'.
Its like the old saying goes... 'Its always in the last spot you look!'
Of course it is.. once you find it, you stop looking!

As Zathras would say, "I live for the one. I die for the one." And Jet Li was The One, but that was a very shitty movie.
I believe that One-ness is a fluid concept in the same way that "There Can Be Only One" applies to all the Highlander movies and the teevee series.
Or as the closing store clerk replied to Stephen Wright when asked about being open 24 hours: "Not in a row!"
There can be many Ones, and all of them different. It's a living, breathing concept that changes as you and the One changes. What is One today might be a non-One tomorrow. After all, it didn't matter if you One or lose, but how you played the game. Some hispanic people might call you the Juan, but that's neither here nor there.

I read that thing, but hey - Everyone knows the Rams have been gay since they left L.A.
If that thory IS proved true, you can bet it will spell the end of the homosexual lifestyle. If indeed this hormonal malfunction can be figured out, it will be erradicated within a few generations.
Just like other medical 'snafus', such as malformation and defective organs, we will eventually rid the world of homosexuality.
The only question that remains is, who the hell will be watching 'Will & Grace' reruns?

I am extrelemly prejudiced of those with Leukemia, and those who hate dogs as well.
I hate nearly everyone, especially those with stupid, self serving agendas.

Ok, so about this whole true love, soul mates, "the one" subject. I've kind of developed a grudge against movies. The way that they portray love is totally unrealistic. However, it's so enticing that you just want to believe that it can happen. It's a big let down when you realize that real life isn't the same. Movies like Moulin Rouge, Meet Joe Black, What Dreams May Come, Romeo and Juliet and such are some of my favorates, but I'm wondering if this is a healthy obsession. I love them, but I hate them at the same time because they get my hopes up.

Actually most of themovies you mentioned are pretty realistic at least ot the extent that the end in tragedy. But life doesn't have to be one big tragedy - but one or several big tradgedies survived will make your happy moments happier.

Okay, true enough. I was talking more about the whole idea of falling head over heels, homerun, out of the park in love with someone. It just doesn't happen like it does in the movies. On a side note, I think I agree with Flip that Disney is at least partially to blame. I watched those movies my whole life thinking that could happen one day. They should really tell you not to attempt that at home. I guess they left that out of the disclaimer.

Oh, grow up...
Disney is not to blame. The idea of romantic love has been aruond a lot longer than 1928.
I cant fucking stand it when Disney has to be everyone's punching bag - Guess what. There are millions of people who are married to the love of their lives.
As I posted earlier, your true love isnt someone intended for you by the fates, its someone who loves you becuase of your commitment and your time and your energy.
Why not blame Disney becasue the Blue Fairy doesnt visit you at night, or becuase none of your attempts at making Flubber have been successful.
Just because YOU cant keep hold of a guy, Disney is to blame?
biatch, please....

You don't need to defend Disney. I love Disney too. And besides, they've got the best lawyers in the country for that kind of thing. I guess you would have to be in a different sitution to understand what I'm saying about their movies. As for millions of people being married to their true love, I say that's b.s. True love does not happen in real life. It just doesn't. And I guess that's they way I have to think to get through life with realistic expectations.

well that's optimistic.
Rachael - do you think that its impossible to meet someone that you dig, who digs you - who you can stand to be around for the next 30,40, 50 years - make a family with, play shuffle board with, share income tax returns with that you don't want to kill?
Perhaps we won't go to heaven made up of our most fondest fantasies and oil paint - but...surely it can't be that unrealistic to imagine sharing your life with another human being (without completely "settling")
