Out this evening with a girl I met as I was leaving a club last week. So there's that. Wish me luck gentlemen.

At one point, one of the kids there threw water on her, and she said to me "I'm absolutely soaked!" and grabbed my hand and put it on her leg, at which point I told her I was seeing someone. We exchanged e-mails but didn't really talk. Anyway, I see her at this cookout on Sunday. We start chatting it up and I told her that the relationship wasn't really a thing anymore. I could tell that the wheels were turning in her head. Anyway, everybody was wasted but neither of us were drinking.
I gave her a look and asked if she's thinking what I'm thinking. She responded, "I dunno...what are you thinking? Because I'm probably thinking the same thing..." I said that I give our odds of sneaking away without getting caught are pretty low. She goes "Well...it isn't impossible..."

Anyway, I get back to MI and trainwreck (the girl I broke up with...she became a full blown alcoholic while we were dating and a pathological liar. Hence the breakup - I don't have time for that gak) hits me up...she's been hitting me up nonstop all week. I tell her we can MAYBE be friends with benefits if she can turn her life around, and reevaluate then. Anyway, since I've gotten back up here I've been fooling around with her and semi-rekindling a more-than-friendship with my old research assistant. No solid plans yet but it's pretty much only a matter of time.
As if that's not enough conflict-of-interests for you, I'm on Tinder the other day and I see a former student of mine. Hmmmmm...to swipe yes or no? feth it, YOLO, I swiped right and to my surprise, "it's a match." Anyway, I send her, "Well if this isn't awkward..." She writes back..."It's only awkward if you want it to be " So apparently that's a thing.
Wish me luck gents. I've traveled a hard path in the past, but I know that this next semester will be full of all sorts of debauchery, and my body is ready.
Maybe it's because i'm still out my mind from last night, but I just love this whole thing. Denzel for maximum approval.

Luck. Don't forget to stretch, you aren't as young as you used to be.
Thank you sir.
Last night saw the date with that former student of mine. I secured tickets to a really cheesy acapella show on campus then we broke into my office building after hours and fooled around on the roof.
While out we bumped into another former student of mine. They were like uh....is that a thing? Hahaha...guess the jig is up. Small town USA. I have a feeling my reign of terror will come to a screeching halt once all parties involved figure it out. However, until then, I will be the anti-hero you never knew you wanted.
Good luck with your club find. May that fair wench polish your sword til it shines like the sun on the sea (I'm trying to translate this into nerdspeak for public consumption )

Beside, I am pretty sure since she is only 17, that would be against the law.

The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in culture.
Its kind of weird.
Just read up on it.
It basically assumes that women are animals and that you can manipulate them into worshipping you by playing them psychologically.
It's absurd.
Ah, its not THAT absurd, when you boil it down all mentally stable humans are fairly predictable and behave under a certain set of psychological parameters, most evidenced by patterns of behavior on the individual level... the idea that one can manipulate those patterns to achieve the desired effect however, IS quite absurd.
Gamer girls are quite shy about it, because... well gamer girls are looked down upon by their peers.
Tangent - today I was beyond infuriated. Was playing a marathon session of Counterstrike GO with some friends and one of the players on one of the servers was a woman (and a married lesbian woman at that), and instantly about half the server started hating on her for absolutely no reason other than the fact that she was a woman playing Counterstrike (and then later a lesbian woman playing Counterstrike). I did what I could to put a stop to it, but my god the level of troll was unbearable.
Well, this might help you deal with the waiting, with what was certainly one of the best female vampire I have seen (specifying female only because else, Cassidy comes into the fray):

Ganguro? I guess thats japanese for guido/oompa-loompa

I think it helps to point out that women have the same problems when it comes to dating as men do. So if you try online dating the lesson is, be polite and keep your dates.
I try (tried, I quit Tinder, prolly try it again in a few months) picking up black women(really any woman im attracted (key word) to, im not picky as long as they're of age and not outright psychotic or substance abusers) all the time... no luck whatsoever.
the shrouded lord wrote: Well, I might as well ask here.
I'd just like to say, I'm not one to post my problems on the Internet. I have no form of social media, and am subscribed exclusively to THIS forum.
I'd like to note, I am 15. And confused.
I've never really understood the entire point of 'dating', even marriage seems just a mannor of owner-ship, granted a two-way one.
Anyway, For the last two odd years, I have been good friends with a girl. Recently, she invited me to the cinemas.
I accepted. On the weekend, We saw the movie, guardians of the galaxy, had lunch and spent an hour or two in an arcade.
After returning to school, a number of her friends began making comments suggesting me and her to be a couple. She seemed somewhat annoyed by this.
Later she suggested we see another movie together, to which I responded positively.
The thing is, a few day later, and a few days ago, she told me (I don't remember what we were talking about) that she has a boyfriend in America. She also had a picture. This was surprising.
For one thing, I had begun to consider that she may be attracted to me, for another, it was rediculously out of the blue. She'd never talked about this person before, and a friend of hers who I talked to hadn't heard of him. a friend of mine has theorised that she may be lying to make me jealous, but honestly, i can't imagine some one being so attracted to me as to lie. (let's just say that I'm not the skinniest, or tallest tenth grader.
I'm confused, and random people on the Internet seem the best people to ask advise.
Kid, you're at an age where nobody knows wtf is going on or what they're doing, the sooner you learn to accept that, the sooner you'll learn not to worry about it, and the sooner you can be happy. Best advice I can give you, don't worry about what shes thinking, concern yourself only with what you're thinking, and do what feels right.

Ashiraya wrote: I have brown hair. Where's brown on the hawtness scale?
Ordinarily, I dont think it really makes a difference, but in this case Im going to have to say that its a pretty serious negative modifier as you're a scandinavian woman without blonde hair...
But seriously, I 'love redheads' and 'love girls with long black hair' and 'love girls with blue eyes' and 'love girls with green eyes' and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... yet the woman i'm most attracted to at the moment has brown hair and brown eyes. As much as people state a preference, that rarely translates into what they'll find attractive/a 'scale'.
It's just as good as any hair colour, the only hair colours I'm not keen on are grey and white.
Really? I think more women should be comfortable letting their hair go grey/white, I think a woman confident enough with herself to let their age show through that way is sexy as hell (obviously I'm talking within reason here, I don't find 80 year old women attractive, at least not usually)
Yeah, I definitely want to date a 50ish woman with sagging tits that nags me all the time.
Yeah, oddly enough, latina women might be the one ethnic group that I dont usually find attractive...
I do not think Ashiraya wants to send me picture of herself nude. I do not think I want Ashiraya do send me picture of herself nude either.
Yeah, thatd be illegal, shes only 17.
But seriously though guys, can we ease up on Ashiraya a bit, we're getting into borderline creeper territory here, considering shes here for dating advice as well, on top of the fact that shes probably the only womans perspective in the thread, maybe we should be a bit more considerate, eh?

Oh, I have no problem with women owning their age I just don't find white or grey hair sexy on younger women (it looks odd to me) and I usually am not into older women (although there's exceptions I have seen hot woman in the 40-50 range).

The burning pits of Hades, also known as Sweden in summer
Don't worry, guys! You're not being creepy, really. I've seen far worse, and Oxayotl was just joking. There's been some useful stuff in this thread. Keep it rolling!
If you aren't attractive by conventional western standards (re: physically fit, not like balding etc) then I wouldn't recommend bothering with Tinder. That's not a knock on anyone, it's just that Tinder by its very nature encourages vanity. With its swipe set-up, its maximum of like 20 words for your "profile" and unlimited picture space, the app wants "shoppers" to basically swipe through people as fast as possible. If they see your picture and don't immediately think "hawt", they're never going to stick around long enough to see your personality, whether it be good, gakky, confident etc.
Tinder's a D2F site. If you want people to give your personality a chance, use relationship sites like OkCupid/Match etc. Site research shows that many women will actually read your entire profiles before moving on with those types of sites, so if you're not rocking the bod but you've got a kickass personality, there's still a chance.
As well, with dating sites you can initiate the conversation, rather than wait for a "match". Sad as it may seem, we live in a society where it's nominally a Man's job to make contact. Even if a Woman reads your profile and likes what she sees, very rarely will they message you first. If you see a chick whose profile catches your eye, send them a message, and go from there. The worst that can happen is that they'll either say that they're only on their for fun/have a man, or they won't say anything. Doesn't reflect on you either way.

I do not know, man. Apparently it is Japanese girls that are orange due to abuse of tanning lotion, but in this movie they are blackface instead. It is Japan, so better not look up to deep.
Wikipedia has an article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro Also no idea what guido or oompa-loompa means.

Me saying I do not want her to send me nude picture was borderline creeper territory? “Not” being the important word in that sentence.
The only way I can think of that would make it inconsiderate would be if that was meant as a way to say she is ugly, but since I have never seen her, that could hardly be the case.
My original point in this discussion was that I could not “rate” her just on hair color, or on any trivial description like that, but only on actually looking at the whole. Same thing you explained, really. So I jokingly asked for a picture.
Bullockist wrote: I'm not certain Hybrid but I think asking for a picture of a woman in a metal box might be more freaky than asking for a nude shot.
Well, only if you miss the reference to this and that . I know Ashiraya got at least the first reference, but the second is mostly famous in France so maybe it was lost.
If I did not know Ashiaraya well enough to be sure she would get at least the first reference, yeah, I would not have said that because it would have sounded pretty creepy. But here, just after she did use Dawn of War's splendid voice acting, it was too tempting.

Former student, we'll call her "Conflict of Interests," invited me to a wedding this coming Saturday. I've been spending most weeknights with Trainwreck up until now. The dilemma has nothing to do with Trainwreck but rather has to do with 40k...
The wedding ceremony starts at 1, and I've been playing 40k on Saturdays 12-4. I'd rather play 40k than go to the wedding ceremony but I would like to go to the reception. I dunno...
The other thing is, I think I'm growing a conscience. Conflict of Interests is incredibly sexy but apparently has had a gak past...had an eating disorder, used to be a cutter, etc. She lives with people who are major players in my department at the university so if things go badly with her it could follow me to work. She's also been incredibly forward when it comes to what she's looking for...for example she asked a girl at work to "read our tarot cards" (I may feth on the first date, but I don't tarot until at least date #3), and kept talking about having a "good feeling about us". She then made a comment about "us seeing each other" to which I responded, "Is that what we're doing? Hold your horses there conflict of interests..." Meh...We shall see gentlemen. She's great looking and fun to hang out with but I'm thinking that she may be a little bit off her rocker and pushy for something super serious super quickly.
To play 40k and play it safe, or to go to a wedding with Conflict of Interests? Getting laid hasn't been a problem since I've been seeing Trainwreck so I wouldn't be going just to bang Conflict of Interests (though at a wedding that would probably happen), and I know that it's unhealthy to be hanging out with Trainwreck exclusively. That said, the more enjoyable day sounds like a day of 40k followed by an evening of grilling food and banging Trainwreck viciously.
