Find the Right Girl: No drugs, No Sex on First Date

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the desire for a meaningful romantic relationship, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection over physical intimacy. The original poster expresses frustration with recent dating experiences, particularly with women who are perceived as promiscuous, and highlights a preference for partners who are funny, intelligent, and drug-free. There is a recurring theme of seeking deeper conversations and connections rather than superficial attractions. Participants share their own experiences and challenges in finding compatible partners, often lamenting the difficulty of meeting intelligent and humorous individuals. The conversation takes a humorous turn with the introduction of a fictional "Get-Too-Much Syndrome" (GTMS), which serves as a comedic commentary on the dating struggles faced by some men. Overall, the thread blends serious reflections on relationship dynamics with lighthearted banter, showcasing a mix of vulnerability and humor in the quest for love.

It was my search for more information on string theory that brought me to PF. I only have a simple layman's understanding of it.Tom McCurdy said:

Many women, like me, find intelligent men exciting. Intelligence and a great sense of humor are the two most important things.humanino said:Yes. Sorry. I can do anything else if you please

In order : piano, guitare and saxophone are the only ones I can make something not too bad with. Unfortunately, none of them can I play as a virtuose of course.

1 : Maybe I could seduce Evo
2 : Evo could have any guy she wants
so I guess, maybe I could seduce any woman
Woohoo ! I'm going to try tonight
If I am not here tomorrow, that's because I left for the paradise islands with a rich and beautiful woman
I'll send you a picture and a postcard from the yacht

Yes, you can have any woman you want. Just post a note here before you take off with your new woman so we won't worry about you!

Poor Tribdog is drowning in sorrow because he gets too much sex from beautiful women and you two, humanino and Evo, are making out right in front of him. Shame on you. Have you no compassion for the poor guy?

I have been afraid of rejection for years, until realizing I could have success with girls. And after that, I also realized "who cares ?" you have to try. The more you try the more you are likely to get it

A word now from The Tribdog Foundation.
We have millions of researchers trying desperately to find the cause of gettin-too-much syndrome. Only after we find how this happens can we hope to achieve success.
Remember the words of our founder: "Never have so many, given so much, to so few, so often."
Please give till it hurts. Every piece helps.
Give to those who get. Thank you.
Smooth operators are standing by.

We're back to continue our Tribdog Internet-Athon to benefit research into the cause and cure of Gettin-Too-Much Syndrome (GTMS).
We have some great stars on tap to provide entertainment for this worthy cause.
Madonna will perform "Like a Virgin."
Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones will sing their hit: "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
Micheal Jackson will be doing: "Beat It."
Just to name a few.
But it's not all fun and games here. Not by a long shot. Our researchers believe that a cure is possible! They are collecting antibodies from persons afflicted with Can't-Get-Any disease. They believe that these antibodies can be made into a vaccine that when given to a sufferer of GTMS will turn that person from Gettin-Too-Much to Might-Get-Some-If-You're-Real-Lucky. We can only hope. The procedure is dangerous though and could send them right over to Wouldn't-Get-Any-If-You-Paid-For-It-And-Wore-A-Bag. More research is definitely needed.

I am too afraid of the "Wouldn't-Get-Any-If-You-Paid-For-It-And-Wore-A-Bag" if the process cannot be inverted. I prefer to become a priest.
Or better : I will buy myself a "I'm into physics"-front "and I love scratching my ***** in pubic"-back T-shirt. If that is not enough I will by a "I have nematode parasites, and consider getting smallpox" hat.

Here we are again at the Tribdog Internet-Athon working for a cure for GTMS, the dreaded disease that can afflict people of all ages, but certainly hits hardest on the young.
Let's hear a big round of applause for Aerosmith performing the Beatles "Come Together."
Let's have a look at our tally board.
(Please note that we have been polling our pledge people with a few simple questions.)
So far we have pledges from...Well it seems no one has actually pledged, but several have left us some coments.
Married men say they refuse to pledge because they think that someone ought to be getting some.
Unmarried women say, leave him alone.
Married women say, Hummm this is odd, they also say leave him alone.
Unmarried men say they would pledge but they waste all of their money trying to get some.
So as you can see this leaves our total at 0.
Oh well. We're going to keep at this though.
In the meantime here is George Thoroughgood and "Bad To The Bone."
Remember give from your heart and for our larger donations we will give you a heart pin so you can put a heart-on for GTMS.
Hang in there Tribdog, this is all for you!

Artman, this is truly a great cause and I am so proud of you for championing the plight of those afflicted with GTMS. The musical guests you have selected add so much.Artman said:
I am deeply touched as I know others here in GD are.

Novel Protein Absent in Get-Too-Much Syndrome (GTMS) Patients
P.F. Moonbear
Center for GTMS Studies
Abstract:
Get-Too-Much Syndrome (GTMS) has been reported as an important quality-of-life issue affecting nearly 15% of men aged 19-35. Those afflicted with this disorder commonly report symptoms including inability to sustain long-term relationships, frequent occurrences of characteristic swelling on one or both sides of the face resembling a "hand print," and difficulty recalling names of sexual partners. GTMS appears to preferentially afflict men in highly paid professions, which has led a number of researchers to hypothesize that occupational exposure to an unidentified substance may lead to GTMS. However, we propose an alternate hypothesis based on behavioral observations of men in natural settings. In our previous report, we noted that men afflicted with GTMS were more likely to congregate in locations with high populations of women, and were less likely than normal controls to congregate in locations with predominantly male populations, such as sports arenas and physics lectures. Therefore, we compared GTMS patients with normal controls recruited from local sports arenas. Subjects were matched for socioeconomic status, average weekly alcohol consumption, height and weight. Blood samples were collected from both groups for comparison of numerous indicators of endocrine and health status. For most parameters measured, including free testosterone concentrations, LDL
DL ratios, and immune function, no significant differences were detected for the two groups. However, a novel protein with MW=25kDa was identified in blood samples of normal controls that was undetectable in GTMS subjects. We propose that this novel protein, which we have named GEEK (GTMS Environmental Evasion Kinase), is part of a second-messenger cascade required for normal neuronal function in men. This disruption of this neuronal function in the absence of GEEK likely leads to the altered behavior of GTMS patients, resulting in them getting too much. Further studies are planned to determine if GEEK is up-regulated during aging, when GTMS symptoms typically lessen. We also propose that GEEK has increased activity in the presence of the chaperone molecule, WIFE (Wild Inhibition-Free Ending protein), possibly explaining the rapid cessation of GTMS symptoms that is correlated with detection of WIFE. These findings suggest a novel molecular basis for GTMS, and provide the possibility of development of therapeutic approaches for treating GTMS with either GEEK proteins or WIFE. Support provided by: Tribdog Foundation Grant #12345.
