    Love
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the complexities of romantic attraction, highlighting two main components: physical attraction and personality attraction. Participants reflect on personal experiences where initial infatuation faded upon discovering deeper personality flaws or physical repulsiveness, leading to the conclusion that superficial love is common. The conversation explores whether one type of attraction is more valuable than the other, with many suggesting that personality often holds greater importance. There is an acknowledgment that while physical attraction is significant, it can be compromised if the personality is compelling. The challenges of online dating are also discussed, emphasizing the potential for misjudgment based on idealized perceptions rather than reality. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that genuine love requires a balance of both physical and emotional connection, and that true love transcends superficiality.

You ate it?! Better not get out of sprinting range of the bathroom then. My medicine chest was low, so I lubed it with WD-40.

We have all had bad dates...but this takes the cake. This was on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. Jay went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience.

She said it was midwinter ... snowing and quite cold...and the guy had taken her skiing to Lake Arrowhead. It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had never met before. They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte.

Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her pee beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car. They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. Unfortunately, in the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself.

All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to pump handles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal.

Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor she answered her date's concerns about "what is taking so long" with a reply that indeed, she was "freezing her butt off and in need of some assistance"! Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem.
Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal!

Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.

As for the Tonight Show...she took the prize hands down...or perhaps that should be "pants down." And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment--This gives a whole new meaning to being "pissed off."

That's the sort of date that either leads to marriage or never, ever, ever, mentioning the other again.

Let's see then... you're not married, and I've never, ever, ever heard you mention anyone... :rolleyes: :-p

I've heard that one before. Was this a show from about 5-6 years ago? That's when I first heard this story.

And you've known Moonbear how long, hmmmm...?

I've only been here about a year...little more, but active about a year. You wouldn't catch me dead on a ski trip...I don't like cold weather, and wouldn't want to actually go outside in cold weather. If anyone ever wants me to join them on a ski trip, I'll be the one sitting by the fireplace drinking hot cocoa while the rest of them freeze their buns off!

And you'll no doubt be collecting those buns to go with your bratwurst. :biggrin:

I prefer that the buns be warm, not frozen.

You said that you'd be in front of the fire. Don't they have toasting forks?

Hmmm...:biggrin: *picks up big, pointy fork* Wonder what I can stick with this?

I suspect you might secretly be a dominatrix at heart, Moonbear.

Make sure you're holding it the right way around. You wouldn't want to short out your electric bra.

Keep up? I've been slowed down for the past half hour or so while trying to open that video for the "office" thread.

But as we Canuks are fond of saying, "I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on." I guess this poor lass got the worst of both worlds.

I'm bloody serious. I can't even remember what thread I'm on any more, and my fingers are starting to hurt. I wish that damned cat was a better typist...

Dear Monster Mentor #1, did you get it to open? I never could.

That's my favorite part of GD. I don't really have to remember what thread I'm in. It's all free association to me...what scary insights does that give you into the way my mind works? :-p

:smile: Yes, I got it to open. It was pretty funny, though a bit long. Watching the first half was enough to get the gist.

I like your new avatar, though you look a bit, um, over-excited there. :biggrin: Your avatar must have just sniffed the butt of some other avatar around here. :smile:

Nothing worse, alas, than I had already surmised.
And I've been free-associating too. No choice. But really, trying to keep up to you buggers is exasperating. Every time I look at the GD page, there's a new post. By the time I get through responding to it, there are 2 new ones somewhere else! It's like friggin' tribbles.

It takes an ass to know an ass? :smile: As you can see, I've already changed it--I realized it might not be appreciated outside GD.

Yes, and he really did give credibility and acceptance to inter-species dating. :-p
