Out of Pod Experience

I read these articles and magazines like you might read a novel. They present some nice fantasies (you could be dating.. Jude Law! or.. here is you 2 cup sizes bigger) and somewhere in the back of your head you know it's a fantasy but part of you enjoys the experience of imagining. After it's over you subconsciously carry some of it back with you into real life. The theme of the advice is always this horrible combination of celebrity paparazzi materialistic skin deep culture because that's how everyone behaves isn't it? Some of it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Women do think like that.. some of us who are smarter might not think like that all the time.. but these magazines are similar to the articles Rain is posting for the guys. They're a way for you to have a conversation about the opposite gender, figure out what roles to play, how to be cooler, etc.

It's just that these magazines for women are more socially acceptable than articles for men about how they could improve their social life. I think both (for men and women) can sometimes turn life into a caricature and maybe over-generalize things. There is no cookie cutter person after all. That's my belief, anyway..


Neither do my boobs, but it's better than walking around bra-less like a damn hippy! Sometimes we do uncomfortable things to fit into a demographic..

17 signs you're with the man you should marry
http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/relationship-advice/signs-you-should-marry-him

any mention of physical attractiveness is suspiciously absent, but maybe that's the guys' list.

I thought the list was common sense, and the conspiracy theorist in me says the illuminati has become alarmed at low birthrates, and would like happy dating couples to tie the knot.

personally, I get these things from myself. my list

18 reasons you should be with me.

I'm my biggest fan

1. i always brag about me
2. relocating for me is never an issue
3. i share the same values as me.
4. even after years of being with me i still do nice things for me
5. i don't try to change me, but he would change if i asked
6. the best part about being with me isn't just right now, it's also being with me the rest of my life
7. even after years of being with me, every day is new and exciting
8. i don't have to miss me. sometimes i reminisce about how me used to be, though.
9. I can be with me for long periods and still feel like I have my space
10. I'm my go-to person to talk about what happened throughout my day.
11. I can make plans with me, but if i need to change them that's ok with me too.
12. I could cry in front of me, but i also help me get to the root of the issue.
13. when my friends complain about their SO, I think they should try being with someone like me.
14. I'm as close with my family as I like to be
15. I have the same friends as me
16. I let me vent
17. i tell me, out of the blue, i look hot. but also sometimes that i should go on a diet.
18. i can do things like travel with me without fighting all the time.

the only problem i can think of is... sometimes i'm not honest with me.

my best advice for me-me couples is... our relationship improved the most after i stopped worrying about what people thought of us.

the best part is I know exactly what me likes, and I always leave me satisfied.

...and involving someone else is automatically a menage

my thoughts:

love ganker

valid social experiment

the best ones have boyfriends... but only because you didn't meet them first

'i have a boyfriend' doesn't necessarily mean 'i'm not looking'

they'll find a reason to make an upgrade if there is one available.

if it's consensual then why worry

you could try convincing a single girl to be a girlfriend, but it's easier to find one who's already/currently accustomed to being one.

you're the only one missing out

if it isn't you, it'll be someone else. might as well make the both of you happy instead of both of you being unhappy

aren't you glad we're having this discussion

pffft. what's strange about it? it's called jealousy. we're programmed that way. say i have a boyfriend...then i develop "close feelings" for another guy while seeing him. i act on those feelings. what are the chances the boyfriend is going to be "oh, that's cool. whatever!" slim to none. ahem....

on the same token if that boyfriend starts seeing some other ***** while we are together what are the chances i'll be cool with that? zero chance.

so what does that leave us? a world were we forgo all relationships and just screw whoever we want whenever we want without consequence? sounds great. peace, love and venereal disease.

what if you want a family? i have a friend from high school that has 4 kids with 3 different fathers. seems that world you are looking for sort of already exits.

yeah we know, Eevee.

i was going to add:

if men had the same options as women, men would understand how easy it is to rationalize unfaithful-ness. as it is, a woman could have a guy who's amazing, but 25x as many people want to do her than him. a lot of times, the percent difference is infinite, because -no one- is trying to do him.

a person can only fend off that kind of attention for so long.

you gonna finish that sentence?

Here's something interesting, Here's some random profile I made:http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=71657882

Meet bob, he's some random guy I found photos of on Google image search, sorry if you're him, be happy its in the name of science.

His profile is the same as my old profiles. When I first created this profile, his income was set to 60,000-80,000, Had a Bachelors degree and was a Firefighter. So far he's gotten 3 women who have contacted him initially, and about 20 women have written him back all in the space of 2 days. However, I put his education requirements down to High school, and makes 35,000 to 50,000 and works a manual labour job, now no-one writes him back.

Yeah, you'd think people would browse so many that they'd skim almost all of them.

I have a few LGBT friends in SW On. and they all found each other in the clubs/bars/shows(Metal scene). Go where your interests are, you'll eventually find someone I would think!
