Jadehand: I'm completely available, and I'll get trashed with you and we can plan the innevitable downfall of stupidity. I'm also a schemer (this just doesn't look to be spelled right), and like Wash, I was laconic once, but never had a fry cook opportunity. So get a bottle of vodka and a notebook (cos we'll need to take notes of course, what good is planning if you can't attempt to make out your drunked scribblings the next day), and we will figure this out.
I always wanted a bumper sticker that said: I wish stupidity were fatal so you'd die. I figured I might get rear ended a lot with that though.
And LightMeDark: You know what? You know what's wrong with you. If you don't think you should be in a relationship, then don't be. It's your life dude, I'm only trying to show you some other perspectives and stuff. Opening your mind and your eyes can lead you to open your heart.
ScorpionRegent: Hell no, I'm not settling, I'm just trying to find cool interesting funny guys. Nice would be good, but I'm not exactly nice (see re above: stupid people comment) so I'm not looking for a saint. I love the idea of Lawyers, I am adding it to the list, Settlers, Lawyers and Fighters, yay! A trifecta!!
Mai: I still love this thread even through all it's ups and downs, isn't that how we are supposed to love a good friend, I mean thread? hehe
Not a Saint,

To Blackeyedgirl
Oh no, she's going to get drunk!
Here is your brain.
Here is your brain on vodka.
Here is your brain on vodka with a tequila chaser.
Here is your brain as you're dry heaveing peanut butter at two in the morning:
"Oh god! Oh god! just let me die now! Oh god if you let me die now, I'll never drink again!" (Strange how drunks can come up sound logical arguments when they are praying to die)
If you don't want to have this happen to you, drink with some form of restraint, I didn't, once upon a time. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent only the alcohol. Actually it was Sake. Well I didn't die and I have drunk again, albeit with far more moderation.
If you are going to do research fueled by ingested chemicals, then take a hint from the late Hunter S. Thompsen (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and many other savage tales) Don't write down your notes, use a tape recorder instead. Tape absorbs information almost at the speed of thought, well at the speed of sound atleast.
Instead of a bumpersticker just get a custom made license frame. If you don't have those near you I'll get one for you as a (Kwanza, Chananka, Xmas, Beltaine) gift. I don't think that sentiment makes you not nice. You are just exspressing a interest in raising the average IQ of your surrounding local. Honestly I don't wish all stupid people dead. I had to drive the short bus for a school district once. Those developmentally impaired kids were, for the most part, extremely sweet,... for the most part. The people I wish dead are the ugly stupid, as in ugly drunks. I can hang with happy stupid (sometimes they can be contagious) and quiet stupid just sits there and doesn't bother anybody, but ugly stupid, those people that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to think up that fictional race called orcs, well the ugly stupid, they just got to go!
Well It's time to get back on topic. I wish you well on your quest my lady. May you find what you are looking for: a cool, interesting, funny guy who isn't a saint. Hey why settle for one? May you a find a lot of cool, interesting, funny guys and sample them, until you find your keeper. Here's a hint: the man who knows you may be seeing other men and isn't frightened off and doesn't immediately demand you commit to him and truly is interested in your happiness and is willing to give you the space to find it. Well, that man may just be your keeper, a man of true courage. So long as he's not hiding the fact from you he's married already, and is interested in a commited to a exclusive monogamous relationship. That is the prize right? The winner gets to share everything with you, exclusively. I'm not asking in a judgemental fashion, but it's important to know what you want and to communicate it openly because that's the key to success in so many things, communication. And when you change, hey everybody does, keep communicating. There is nothing more frustrating for a man than the cliche of a woman who sends out subtle signals and expects the man to read her mind. Or for the woman the cliche of the guy who just doesn't get it. Sometimes we need more than a hint, sometimes not. It may not be your fault, maybe we just aren't paying close enough attention, but regardless the message is still getting lost. Oh shit I'm tangenting! Well I'm rambling awfully now. To wrap this up I'll just say that I've read enough of this thread to know that you deserve to be happy finding the man you seek and that any man that is sampled and considered by you is damn lucky, probably more than he will ever appreciate. Point of clarification, by sampleing I never meant to imply anything vulgar, however your imagination is your own, use it at your own risk.
More to follow...

Hmm... girlpower.
Feel like I just got a right-left-right combo to the jaw. Soon as my braincells regroup I'll get back to you and respond.
Am already formulating a theory about a great hive-mind telepathy conspiracy involving women disarming men. It's all about stealing our mojo.
Suffice it to say, you've given a good account of yourself. I'll come back with a barbed and prickly attack once my mojo is replenished.
woman: I am woman, hear me roar!
man: I am man, fetch me beer.
Don't get comfortable. I'm not done yet. Just recuperating. That was a 3-pronged attack by the female of the species, and my mojo is taxed. The "masculinst" movement must live.

hee-hee!! And in preparation of a masculine/feminine tirade, I've prepared my own:
I followed this thread a bit last week (or sometime), but I've been too busy and I'm just catching up today. I want in on the discussion but I'm so far behind! I'll try to catch up without killing you all with exposition.
I'm relatively new to FFF (and to internet posting in general, actually) so let me introduce myself a bit. I'm a scientist but I have my sides. Often my day will go like this - play ice hockey with the girls early, go to work and write code and plot squiggly lines all day, go to ballet/modern dance class, maybe catch some more hockey with the guys at night. Or go home and watch FF.
I like dressing up and dancing at clubs (trance addict here) I play cello (oh, the Bach suites!) I knit. I rarely wear makeup. I'm a tall and skinny ballerina type but not so fashionable. I love scifi. I love Jane Austen. I home brew. I'll go along with the "nice" stereotype for a second - I have a history of frightening off "nice" guys but not living up to the standards of "hotty" guys. Maybe I'm just not the trophy type?Anyway, I don't have these hobbies because they fit some definition, I do them because I tried them and they're fun. I'm so over the whole man must be like this (beer yum) and women must be like that (omg, where's my mascara?) I wish people would chill about definitions and just do what's enjoyable. It's so hard to find a man who is manly (physically speaking, call me shallow but I do like manly men
) but open minded. I was watching TV with a boyfriend once and The Age of Innocence came on, and after five minutes he said - "this is a chick flick" and immediately tuned out. It was too big a challenge to his masculinity, I guess! *wussy*An example of the way I wish things were: there's this commercial I'm quite fond of. Opening: church full of flowers and wedding goers - but where's the groom? Everyone is whispering, the pretty young bride looks worried. She goes searching - opens a closet door and there's the groom and his buddies *gasp* drinking beer and watching the game, oh no! She's all mad - but she says something along the lines of "Why didn't you tell me the game was on? What's the score?" and grabs a beer and pulls up a chair. And the best man gets all teary "Man, you are so lucky!"
That's how it should be, with the vice-versa of course. My man should allow me to paint his toenails if I'm in the mood and also take (or give) a hip check on the ice. Never apologize to me if he wants to drink beer with the guys (just take me along now and then.) He must know that the BBCs Pride and Prejudice can be enjoyable whether you personally have indoor plumbing or outdoor plumbing.
OK, I'm running out of ramble, I'm sure I'll come with more later. Thanks for the topic Mai, it really is though provoking and fun! And excellent work avoidance ...

I LOVE BBC's P&P!! I hope the new movie coming out is as good. I'm worried, though. 2hr movie versus 6 hr mini-series. Guess I'll find out this weekend when I go see it!

This is of course coming from what I call a 'buddy-chick' which is the chick that gets to hang with the boys, and occasionally gets to have sex with one of them, but whom none of them would ever seriously date (because they say things like 'i don't want to be in a relationship' and then WHAM! they end up in one, right after crushing 'buddy-chick's' hopes and dreams, no I'm not bitter).
As someone who's recently been crushed by the gigantic arm of 'friendship' I've gotta say, I still believe that you should only date people who you would be friends with, cos if you wouldn't be their friend outside of yoru relationship what in the hell kind of person are you dating??
Any and all intersted men-folk in the greater Wisconsin area are encouraged to gimme a shout, cos I'm willing to try anything at this point, and hell, I already know we both like Firefly! That's a good starting point right?? PM me or check out my blog for more info and peering into my deranged mind. (there's also photos there)
My god I just pimped myself! I feel kinda dirt-er okay about it though....
-BEG out...

Kaylee: "Yes. One of them's a doctor."
No argument here; just trying to answer the question "Where are the nice guys?"
How's this for a corollary - we'll call it "where can I find the girl/woman/gal (pick one or add your own) that I can be comfortable with and settle down?" Again the answer is that there are people all around us that would make more than suitable partners; but we, as men, tend to put on our track shoes when we meet someone who could be 'the one'. Fair enough?
"C'mon, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one."
