FYP



I just got Season 3 of The Office last week and I found the part where Michael goes "I know the crap out of women" and I was like, hey!, that's Cobalt's sig.

Well, forum title, but same difference, yeah.

I picked up Season 3 yesterday and watched one commentary and the first disc deleted scenes. The value is sick...my guess is that's there's the equivalent of 8 episodes worth of deleted scenes in the collection...and they're all hilarious.

Need to quit talkin bout my home town like that. Brockport is the mecca of all things great. I can't help the college is full of roids and stds, the town is awesome.

I feel like this is directly related to your frustration with girls thread. You are going to have very high standards depending on how old you are and they are going to be extremely hard to meet for the woman you're looking for.

Agreed.

No standards ftw! (When I'm drinking).

From the dude living with his girlfriend Also, I have no money online but hope that you find someone. (no money = $200ish).

To Cobalt the "depending on age" thing I said just meant the older you are the less realistic it is to find a girl that has the same standards as you.

I'm 24. Here are my relatively flexible standards...

20-26 years old
attractive to me (sub-points are miscellaneous and not complete)
-not overweight
-medium to long hair
-okay teeth
5'1-6'0
doesn't smoke
doesn't frequently get drunk
doesn't use drugs
virginish
religiously and economically conservative
politically moderate
socially liberal
Christian (inflexible)
doesn't have a boyfriend (key)
likes me (also very key)
romantic
intellectual
outgoing
nice
energetic
loyal/supportive
truthful
somewhat decisive (can choose between two restaurants)
motivated
open-minded

You almost just described Zach! Mostly since you forgot to add the caviat of "female" in there.

I have a feeling Zach gets drink all the time, after all he is canadian.


Zach I would hook you up with a stake but i have $60 dollars online.



Cobalt, doesn't the following seem like a kind of rare combo?

religiously and economically conservative
politically moderate
socially liberal
Christian (inflexible)

LOL. I mean that literally makes me laugh out loud. I joke around about being scuzzy and stuff but I haven't slept with many girls and my standards are pretty high for dating a girl. But yours are just so hard to attain, even if you found such a girl she'd probably be very annoyed you had such a predetermined list of qualities that she wouldn't be interested.

To me, having a list like that is stupid. Women aren't computer programmed. You'll find some that just don't fit into what you've laid out but they are intriguing to you for whatever reason and that will be all that matters.

Things I'm not very flexible on with my gfs. They need to have slept with less people than me. They can't do illegal drugs, but I don't care if they used to. They have to be social and go out occasionally (which means they must also consume alcohol I guess).

Your standards are something we should all aspire to.

His standards are fine. It's not like he's gonna tell a girl those things or anything, he just knows what he's looking for. I have a similar mental checklist that I use and it's pretty extensive as well. Of course, I don't sleep around and I've been with my current GF for almost a year, the one before that was over 2 years and the one before that was 2.5 years.

No worries guys, I've found what I'm looking for in the money department.

Standards:

Bad judgment.

Everything else, I'm flexible on.

sat down at a 10/20 NL game and doubled up?

maybe Mother Teresa has a Christian granddaughter

tSKILLZ187 (1:06:25 PM): trying to think of how i can tactfully say acid and cobalt you're pieces of shit


I'm always willing to help a fellow strat-poster out.

I deleted the ones that I think are fairly normal and make your list too exhaustive, I think it's normal to want to be attracted to your gf, have them like you, and them to be a good person.

These ones are weird to me, but that's because religion means nothing to me and as someone that is religious you are going to have much different thoughts about this than me. I think having the same political alignment is very overrated. Especially when your alignment of choice is moderate! I guess what it comes down to is I think its better to have a girl that isn't your twin in thoughts. It's good to disagree, and helps you put in perspective that two smart good people can have completely different outlooks on the same exact circumstances.



My standards for a GF are similar to Cobalt's. It's just I think I'd be extremely flexible. Sure I know what I like in a girl, but if I met a girl and loved her personality everything else just fits in. You can't control something like that, "wow I love everything about you but your economically aggressive?!!?!? Deal breaker."



I've had two long term gf's. One of 3 years, one of 2 years, and I currently have slept with the same girl for awhile but won't call her my gf cuz I'm weird/don't want her to affect my long term life decisions of where I choose to live.

Ha, crossed my mind.

But no, some of you non-busto FCPers rush to my rescue.

I think it might be time to turn the 25,000 FPP's I have into cash on pokerstars, any idea the best way to do that?

Man, this guy can't take a joke.

Now that's the tact I'm lacking.

meretriciousjay: you might think this is weird, but I like when girls pee on my face. Please don't tell anyone.

oops.

There's a certain irony to that claim!

Having never met you I can't really say you're full of shit with certainty. But I feel like this is not your real take.

Common knowledge.

While I don't necessarily agree with your logic that you want someone different than you (i think it's natural to look for people that you have that stuff in common with) I do share your sentiments on religion, but that's also becuase I'm a heathen who lives in Sin City. I don't know how it would work out to have the huge mental list of standards and then to throw in there "Christian" as well which basically cuts out so many people who might have worked out otherwise.

I guess I'm just happy that I was raised to do my own thing and that my mom decided to stop caring about being a Catholic after college.

Watersports FTW!

Gross.

I think you're my fav poster in this thread. There will be full out 6 poster discussion on something and you will hijack with a post about poker without fail

Also, I have no clue to the answer of your question.

Completely agree. But if they are different it's not something that would turn me off. If anything it would inspire some banter that would be fun for at least a little while.

Here's the thing.

Neck is doing slave labor, working 200 hours a week, all with a plan that ends up with Las Vegas as his residence.

You're debating on Las Vegas or NC and leaning away from the holiest of holy lands.

Let the man hijack a thread or eight!

Yeah, I should really get out there.

I won't be your friend though. Ask Jay, I'm really not a nice person.

actually today is the first day in a long time that I won't have to drop off and pick up poker tables, or deal with crazy people at a surgeons office.

Also I had about 104 drinks last night and blew off half my online bankroll.


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I was joking when I said we'd be friends.

I'm way cooler than you.

now that is funny +1

HU4ROLLZ now?

lol $75 dollars lets go


nah I will just win a few $4.40 180's and be back in money to blow play in 6 max cash games in now time.

Quite.


I'm pretty sure that I qualified that list with 'flexible'...with Christian being the only inflexibility. I dated a girl that wasn't a Christian for 9 months a number of years ago (she lied to me about it at the beginning of the relationship)...it didn't go so well.

Most of those things on the list would appeal to me...but if one or several are different, is it a dealbreaker? No.

Agreed.

I'm not saying, "lower those standards."

But it's possible that he's going to need to hand out some breaks along the way.

It's like Hawkeye said in *M*A*S*H* -- "you're looking for a custom-fit in an off-the-rack-world."

If you take them as they are, they will take you as they are.

If you are a Christian, then that should be your starting point. Also, worry about the money management compatibility. Let all the other standards take care of themselves. Most marriages dissolve over issues of sex and money. Handle those up front, and you'll have a great chance to develop a lasting relationship.

So, if you and your potential girl agree about the Christian views of marriage, you will agree about your views on sex, or at least you will have your minister to argue with about it. (No ... not kidding). And if you agree about money, then your arguments will be about smaller issues.

So I recommend that you start by looking around in a big church. Make friends with an old lady or two or more there. Make friends with old ladies everywhere. You'll be shocked how many hot chicks every old lady knows, has access to and credibility with, and how well they play matchmaker. They LOVE playing matchmaker. And they know what they're doing. Trust me, an old lady can find out more about any chick than the chick herself is gonna tell you in a year. Women have a massive social network, and they all either know or can find something out in a day or two.

Trust me, I know about this stuff.

hey how do you Christians feel about Catholics? just wondering up until a two years ago I was down in rural GA in a bar and someone asked me if I was a Christian and I said I was Catholic. After that they looked at me like I was some sort of leper. I don't really get it but then again I am pretty slow.

I don't know who usurped the term Christian and decided it excluded Catholics.

I agree with you but people really seem to hate the pope. I think it has something to do with his hat.

Raise your hand if you went to Catholic school.

::raises hand::

Also, if you want an accurant count of people who have lost their faith, you can just use the same number of hands from above.

organized religion sucks.

You might undercount.

You did qualify it with flexible, I took the assumption the the flexibility came with things such as "good teeth" and little things like that. Not so much on her views of the world etc. It would seem to me those were the most important and therefore least flexible, I may be wrong.

9 months is a long time for a non-Christian person to not have sex, although it's very possible that had nothing to do with your situation, I'm speaking from my experience here. I know cuz I dated a girl that was very religious and we basically broke up over the sex issue. She lost her virginity to me but it was very tough on her and she would go in and out of being mad at me and disappointed with herself and refusing to have sex again, etc.

That's why from my experience I think it's very important to have the same views on sex with someone that you want to be with, it really is a huge part of a relationship. If being Christian had nothing to do with sex, I assume I'd still be with her.

As someone that isn't religious it's weird to me that people that are religious don't want to be with people that don't share their faith. I thought Christianity was about forgiveness and acceptance. It should be those people that would be most inclusive, not exclusive, but it's quite the opposite.

Back to Cobalt's list of topics. A few of them had to do with American History, let's pop a convo about that, I love that stuff!
