Wait a minute... are "huge jugs" and "large fun bags' referring to different pieces of female anatomy?

If so, I definitely need to date more often...

No. She has capacious liquid dispensing utensils and extremely commodious bags of goodies for parties.

Sounds like Montana, Big Sky country

Reminds me of

O beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!


or

Oh give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam,
and the dear and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day!


:biggrin:

Montypython!

Another way to make a nerd fall in love with you is to correctly use movie references.
Srs.

I like how when MissSilva started this thread, Evo was the first person to respond... I expected nothing less. That and Cyrus mocking every woman and even that CrazyTosser with his responses.. it wouldn't be a 'dating thread' in PF without it.

That out of the way and hopefully grabbing the attention of the frequent readers, I'll throw my hat into the ring.


When I considered myself a nerd, I found it very difficult to ask women out to do thing with me.. I just excessively mocked them to cover up my insecurity, kind of like Cyrus does.. except the girls seem to like it on here? Oh, how I love the anonymity and animosity of internet advice..


Back to the basic question though: What do 'nerdy' guys like in women? excuse me.. like in girls.. I believe was the term.

I honestly have to laugh at this question. I have a lot of 'nerdy' friends, some might consider me a nerd.. whatever.. but the thing they have in common is: if a girl can stand their nerdiness and is nice to them and they have enough in common, then we have a classic case of FFS. First ____ Syndrome. That's no joke. That's true, I've seen it happen.. a few times now with friends.

But seriously, if you break free of the first and are lost in the single world, no worries. If you can find any random girl/guy that can put up with your quirks, you have a decent shot of having something.

And if the girl is really 'dominate', she can reel nerds in like fish in a barrel. So dominate girls that are reading this, simply walk up to any 'nerd' that looks worth the time of getting to know. Easy as that.

So, what is a fractal?

He said:
When you solve an integral, you see your function with a microscope so that the curves become lines.
I said:
Yes, and it is very easy to get the area of a rectangle.
He said:
So, if you have a fractal, no matter how powerful is the microscope, you will never see a simple line, you will keep seeing "cartoons".

There's a difference between a flirty, funny, cocky way of "mocking" girls, and being creepy/annoying about it.

I hardly enjoy Cyrus' stereotypical comments but sarcasm is a coping mechanism and taking him seriously seems to do diddly-squat so what else can you do?

I appreciate your input. Mocking girls in real life would get you a kick in the pants, not any sort of enjoyment, just trust me on this one. :)

In the north of Mexico, almost all men make stereotypical comments. It is assumed that if they do not do it, they are gays, and for them being gay is worse than being a murder.
The socially expected answer from women is a nice "hee,hee,hee". Almost any other answer can lead to you being labeled as a radical feminist and to be ostracized.
In addition, most people, men and women understand feminism as "the doctrine of superiority of women" and are very urged to clear that they "hate such a thing".

HAHAHAAHAHAhah, oooooo boy. That's rich. You think I mock girls. HI-LARI-OUS.

I think you should keep your comments about how I talk to others to yourself until you've actually met me and can make such qualifiying statements. Otherwise, it comes off as foolish. Just a suggestion.

Without condoning or condemning the poster, his post is qualified ("the girls ... on here") to a scope that is within his purvue. o:)

Oh dear, guys it's all in good fun. It's just an internet forum. I'm sure Cyrus is charming in real life, no matter what odd online persona he likes to take on. No use getting upset about something like this; it's better to be upset with things worth worrying about (like that UPS lost my textbook order and I have one week until class starts).

I trust you on that one. ;)


Cyrus: Perhaps I touched a nerve? I was simply making a point. Don't take it too personal; this is the internet, yet insecurities can still be read. Also, I believe it was someone else who called your posts/you 'creepy/annoying' . . . lol.

LindaAC: I have meet 'Northern' Mexicans, and your description is very accurate. They treat their women like objects. But I'm going to have to disagree on 'Men do not know what they want. They are mysterious beings.' They know what they want, but it's not always settling down and having a family or having a relationship. Usually I've found women seem to not know what they want.. lots of mood swings and insecurities. Some of the best looking women are the most insecure about their looks.. crazy.

How can such a pretty woman...make such a LOUSY post?

Actually, I wasn't aiming that at Cyrus. Quite the opposite.

That's terrible! People making such derogatory comments about women are really emotionally immature.

If LydiaAC's comments are correct, it seems to be a culture-wide thing, not laid at the feet of the individuals.

So if everyone is doing it, it is ok? That is nowhere near an excuse.

Within the context of the words used, 'nerdy' is equivalent to 'intelligent but deficient in social skills'.

So... why would any girl be attracted to such a guy? How lame would it be to have a partner that you can't socialise with, and can't introduce to people for fear of embarassing you?
