New You may have won the battle
but the war's not over. I'm not giving up on you or your misguided, lovelorn soul.
Keep the candles burning, maybe do a little dance, too.
I'll do the same for you.

. . I got me shaman drum here and I'll play it a tune for the Bio - but I ain't gett'n down me Siberian shaman outfit with the wrought iron bones an do a dance unless she says it's real serious (that sucker's heavy an' a bit warm in a SoCal winter). Last thing I want though, is ta drum 'er into the land of the dead - so hey Bio - be well!

New No need for the suit
Just light up a wicker man in the yard and have at it.

And when I'm feeling better I'll dance for your soul with my scarves in the moonlight. The dance is probably best done naked, but it's way too cold for that. I think it will still be effective with a parka and boots. We shall see.

New Well, I got out the drum and did a few . . .
. . patterns for you. Unfortunately, the only image of you I had fresh in mind was your Halloween picture, so if you get an excomunication letter from the Pope, that's probably how it came about.

Oh well, at least in my mind you were smiling.

New Geez, bio
I don't see Andrew doing that anyway. _I_ think he'd prefer to find a girl he doesn't have to be a jerk to.

I think MOST single 'nice guys' have to get over the nice-guy/jerk thing. I don't think either one is related to attracting a woman (except obliquely, as I said before). It's taken a lot of 'counselling' from my female friends for me to reach that conclusion.

I do have more than a few female friends, and I've had to console them SO many times about the jerks they were dating... (three of them have found really nice guys woth their time now, btw - all meeting their guys in really unusual circumstance, only one of them not actively looking) It's hard not to see jerks as having an advantage - I used to be very bitter about the subject myself. So much so I pretty much gave up on that part of my life for a long time. They are very frank with me now; they are actively trying to help me rather commiserating. I really am hoping to figure out what's what - so far it seems a 'mating display' of wealth and/or health (and/or) fitness is primary.

Next I've come to the conclusion that it's the ability to engage the lady personally. That can be intellectually, socially, or physically (dancing, etc.) - and the engagement is what counts, not necessarily whether the engagement is good or bad (I've had tales or arguments, spills, and lousy dancers - though the good anecdotes outnumber the bad). The more of these things, the better. Looks outside of health/fitness don't seem to matter that much... (I'm personally working on health/fitness, myself. That's something that benefits me anyway).

Being a nice guy doesn't seem to enter the situation. It gets you friends (sometimes very good friends), though, if the 'mating display' is rejected. That isn't a bad thing - but it can feed bitterness.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
