That is her profile. I admit I have been out of the dating circle for about six years, but darn woman are more evil than ever. I warn all W's stay away from this one.
I trust no one, Stone Cold coined the phrase that should of been mine, but a woman like this proves it. She has a lot of wrestling qualities, Money Money Money, I think is the song.
I know this is going to be banished, but there is a point I want to make. Why is there not a woman that wants to be loved as much as I want to love?
Irony post 1"69"
Here now are the Top Ten cruel responses I could whip up to this post: 10. Exactly how many lists did you recite to her before she went nuts?
9. Don't worry, I'm heeding your advice and IMMEDIATELY cancelling my road trip to....Bristol, TN
8. So, exactly how much time passed between the moment you met her and the moment you shared with her your views on the evilness of women?
7. Geez, guy...what'd you do, eat her baby?
6. She probably broke it off because it drove her nuts to keep reading "should of" instead of "should have"
5. So wait... you're saying she's on the rebound?
4. "I trust no one..." so please enjoy reading my detailed life story - well, at least you left off your Social Security number
3. If her profile name is brokenwings523, does that make yours brokeass10?
2. Too bad you can't crosspost this to the OOForums
And the number one response...
1. I gotta hand it to you - it takes SOME balls to let everyone know publicly that you're the MOST PATHETIC PERSON TO EVER MAKE A PUBLIC POST ON THIS FINE BOARD. Congratulations.
Welcome back, TTP. You've survived a relationship, relatively unscathed, which is good. You have all your extremities, right?
Originally posted by TopTenProWhy is there not a woman that wants to be loved as much as I want to love?
I could go on with the old "there's someone for everyone" clichee, or the classic "you'll find her when you're not looking"...much like my friends and family do when I'm single.
Singlehood sucks, I admit. Such is why I've worked so hard at the relationship I'm involved in. Sarah and I have lots to work at, but I do believe she's as close to being the perfect match for me as I'll ever get.
If, for any reason...she and I have been best friends for close to a decade.
Anyhow, a few tips I can suggest in meeting someone new:
1. Try looking in music stores. Years ago, I met a girl at a music shop in Calgary, and we ended up dating for almost a year. All because we shared the same musical interests (at the time).
2. Bookstores are always good. Often, there's a coffeeshop build into a bookstore (at least here in Canada there are) so perhaps that'll help.
3. Depending on how much you trust your friends, ask them to set you up.
4. Never say never to online matchmakers. I've met some folks on them, and while nothing really serious came of them, some good times were indeed had by all..er...well, both.
5. Very worst case scenario: You can always send away for one of those Russian brides :-D
Best of luck to you, TTP -- dating is a difficult thing, but it's worth it.

You do realize that in any dating situation where your SO has a child, you will ALWAYS be #2 (or #3, #4, etc.) in her life. Being single sucks, I agree, but you have to learn to pick and choose your potential soulmate. IMO, it's always best to start fresh rather than find someone who has children and probably excess baggage from past relationships.
"All women suck...Blah, blah, blah...." And you know what us girls say? "All men suck...blah, blah, blah....." Yes, it sucks to be dumped by some psycho, or to be be dumped because YOU ARE the psycho one- but it happens to all of us. Bitch to your friends, watch a bad movie, get drunk and get over it. Being a bitter cry-baby isn't so attractive to the opposite sex.
And if you want to meet someone, go take a class. Take a night class in something interesting at a community college, take ballroom dance lessons, go to a music seminar, etc.
Finally, NEVER EVER date a girl with an add on the internet (excluding those legitimate dating services that have an internet part to them). If there is an attractive girl with an add on Fark or Yahoo or The Spark or something, there is a good chance she's a raving lunatic. Attractive, personable, mentally competent girls can probably find dates the old-fashioned way. Even girls who are just a little crazy can find dates. Only girls with crippling emotional problems (or want to sell you land in Nigeria) have internet adds.

As a long term investment, land in Nigeria is not that awful. If you can capitalize on the current instability to buy the land for pennies or less on the dollar, it could be extremely profitable. Should a stable government eventually come to power and with its vast oil reserves, a person could potentially make a fortune off of this investment. It would be extremely risky due to political unrest, but the payoff could be astronomical. Plus, its not like anyone is making any new land anytime soon.

Oh, man, CRZ's STILL GOT IT! BURN!
WADSWORTH: The games up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun. SCARLET: Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick? WADSWORTH: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study. Two for the chandelier, two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram. SCARLET:That's not six. WADSWORTH: One plus two plus two plus one. SCARLET:Nuh, uh. There was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus ONE plus one. WADSWORTH: Even if you are right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus TWO plus one plus one. SCARLET:(thinking) Okay, fine.One plus two plus one--(angered) Shut up!

I disagree WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I've been on a good number of dates with women I'd met online, eitehr through messages on Matchdoctor, or perhaps those who have even IM'ed me out of the blue...and I've yet to have a bad experience. it's a twofold thing, really: you gotta get really, really comfortable with someone before getting together with them, and second: you gotta be CAREFUL.
I tend to avoid telephone dating services, if for any reasons, they're too expensive, and I don't like to talk. At least, not on the phone.
I'd like to know more about Top Ten Pro's situation, and what he went through.
Originally posted by ZureulYou come off as sounding desperate and probably smothering her. That's my first reaction from that line.
That's heartless, man. Obviously, he posted his thoughts here because he anticipated a sympathetic crowd, people to commiserate with and laugh with, too.
Come on, now. WOuld it be so hard to be a bit supportive? I'd love to see you think 100% straight and be totally normal if a relationship you'd been involved in ended. I dare ya!
(rant mode = off) My apologies, but a heartbreak is a tough thing to get over.

Yep, heartbreak is certainly a tough thing to get over. But this is a message board, not a support group (although it can be a very supportive place).
It's one thing to wear your heart on your sleeve, it's another to attach a neon sign describing your current emotional state.
Originally posted by TopTenPro Why is there not a woman that wants to be loved as much as I want to love?
Totally amateur psychoanalysis, but you asked for it:
You make it sound like you're having a hard time finding someone who you can "absorb" all the love you have to give. But what you're selling is probably not what you think you're selling; and you already know that nobody's buying.
My best advice is to figure out what makes you happy. If the best answer to that is, "making someone else happy," you're probably in for a rough ride. Making your happiness dependant on someone else's sounds nice, especially when you're willing to do whatever you can to keep that person happy. But eventually she'll figure it out and realize that's a lot of pressure on HER, not you.
So if you really like to help people and make them happy, there are plenty of occupations out there that will allow you to do that; you're just not likely to get love (or sex) in return. Otherwise it's probably best to have a look at yourself and really try to figure out what you love in life. Once you do that you stand a chance (although then you have to figure out how to balance life and love ).
A strong relationship is two whole people leading two whole lives that are complimentary; it's not two people together making one person or one life.

Some people can use services such as this as a support group type thing.
Case in point: Way back when (December 2003) I was requested to attend a funeral with my then-girlfriend, Faith...and seeing as though I had never attended a funeral before nad was extremely nervous about that, I went to the people I trusted and knew could help me through - this board. The people who responded offered some great advice and thoughts (The W) concerning the subject matter, and I was thankful that people were so caring.
Also, has Tarnish taken into consideration that TTP's English may not be the greatest, and that his emotions are kind of lost in translation? NOt everyone is great at expressing themselves.

Just because he's from Tennessee doesn't mean he's too inept to grasp the English language. It's a good indication, yes, but it's by no means a definite thing.

If you're truly wondering why we all find it so easy to be unhelpful to TTP, the fact that 8 of his first 12 threads ended up in BANISHED might explain it. Yes maybe we are being unreasonable and unfeeling, but there is a past history to consider here.
"During his term in office, George Bush has relentlessly continued to be presidentdespite the clear benefits to America his absence would bring to the lives of citizens everywhere."
Thats not a personal ad, thats a yahoo profile, two completely different things.
Either way, warning people to "stay away" from her is sorta childish. Not like a ton of Ws are from Bristol, and are looking for dates.
Also, trying to hook up with girls you work with isnt exactly a recipe for a happy future most of the time. Especially when you are thier manager. If things dont go well, it only makes you look like a dick most of the time. I would try looking outside the workplace.
But, good luck in the future. (BTW, Church groups are always filled with single girls.)
This is Brokenwings and I would just like the chance to defend myself...I am not going to stoop to your level Bobby...but I will say this...Whatever you may have had is gone...you couldn't leave well enough alone could you? And thank you for those of you out there who were men enough to let me know what was going on...you know who you are...it's good to see there are still a few of you out there...If I were out there for the money...I would have never talked to you Bobby...It would be different if we were dating...but we weren't...hell we never even went on a date...now I know why...You have a beautiful little girl...why don't you spend half the energy on her as you do trying to bring me down...and you wonder why you aren't with anyone...what a joke...thanks again for everything...at least I know now what not to look for...
As a good friend of mine once said, after my engagement was shot to hell, "Experience is the best teacher. Consider yourself schooled."
It always gets better. Until then, there'll be drink and blues music. Always works for me.
And yet... and yet. Don't put this on *women* though. It's short sighted at best. Some of them have it in them to be straight with you, but not if you write off the whole gender. That was what that experience taught me.
Edit: Let's lose that joke, as Leroy just made a good point just south of here.

Very, very nice! Well done! I'm not so big on chili, but I do think I'll go ahead & get some crawfish tails & do the puff pastry pies you've pointed at in the blog -- see what my New Orleans friends have to say about it. :-) Congratulations!
