Just passing by the forums and noticed the Community Zone. Interesting stuff you have going on in here .
And funny too.

 

This thread is funny?? I dont understand what your getting at there buddy? Do you mean Community Zone in genral is funny?

 

Yes, community zone in general. And I take that back, I would say "fun". :beer:

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

Thanks WWR, you know for some reason I think I might have heard of that before, but you're probably right, there would be no point in acting like someone I'm not and all etc. The community threads are "fun" and I find them funny at times too. Maybe not really the "war zone" so much but what would you expect with a name like that.

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

OT: The original concept behind the War Zone is for potentially heated discussions to be held here rather than the general chat area. It was called Temper Overload when Sniper first set it up. It was changed with the idea that it'd be used for political/religious/etc. discussion that could be a bunch of - on issues. I'd seen something similar instituted over at PC Perspective's forums and liked the idea.

Simply put, TWZ is there for intelligent discussion of ideas and beliefs, in a civil manner. You can be Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken, just to toss out a few names.

exfoliate-long, late night talks on the phone 3hours+ between 10PM and 2AM = instant win.

 

Think of it this way, you pretend to be someone you're not and you actually fall for this girl and she for you. She's gonna find out or your conscience is gonna make you tell her, one way or the other, it's gonna be a BIG hurt for both of ya, sure you may get rejected for who you are but it's a lot better than breaking two hearts at once.

Nice mate, thanks, that's very true. Ever thought of writing a book dude?

(crying)

 

aww poor thing, it's okay, you and Addis need to go clubbin' that's all! :good:

 

On relationships or in general?

Ninja, clubbin' ain't guaranteed to get you a girl, I've never gone clubbin' and got many many girls.

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

A book on relationships, judging by your posts you know how it's done, you must be quite the ladies man:good:

 

I'm by no means Cassanova here, but WWR really is on the mark. I've been to a club all of one whole time (and that was because I won tickets to see a band playing there). I mean, I met my g/f at work. Both my brothers have met their ladies at work too (one happens to be engaged). If you just want a lot of women to hang with, clubbin' might be the way to go. It's also not to say you can't find a good one in the club, but just realize, that's not the only place to find them...especially since many have an age restriction (due to alcohol being served).

I think a lot of long-lasting relationships have to do with respect for the other person. I don't do anything to my gf without her permission. It's not about booty call (consider that a bonus, IMO); it's respect. I'm no expert here, I'm just going by what I've found to work out well for me. I will say that my gf is my best friend now. I've got guys I've known since high school and still hang out with, but there's just some things that I don't talk about with them but I do with the gf. We think alike and get along. We can speak to each other without reservations in total honesty.

Yes, it may seem sappy, but it's the truth.

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

That's so true B, very nicely posted:good:

 

You've got it on the mark as well B, respect is a large part of it, but so is interest.

Say like meeting girls at a club, if you're not the kind who goes to clubs often then don't go looking for girls there, 'cause chances are you're gonna meet the kind of girl who loves to go out clubbing a LOT and if you get into a relationship with them you'll get dragged out and moaned at when you don't enjoy yourself.

It all goes back to the point of being yourself, don't go to a club just to meet girls, go because you want to see what it's like, if you like it, go more often and THEN start looking for girls after you're settled into it.

Best place to meet a girl, as B has said, is at your place of work, then you share a common interest, even if you both despise it, it still gives you something to talk about to which you can both relate to, she might tell you her point of view from which you've never thought about or vice-versa. May seem lame but it gets you talking and from there you can find other interests to share.

Remember, getting to know a potential girlfriend is no different than getting to know a normal friend, find a common ground and explore from there. After that you can get your other interests going.

Haha, gone through a LOT of pain to know what I do right now and I wouldn't recommend my path to ANYONE in the world.

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

I definitely vouch for those statements once again. Common intrests help too (in my case, I have to give some thanks to Monty Python) as well as being friends. We've been friends far longer than we've dated, which helps a lot. Even if you don't date, having a lady as a friend does give a different perspective on things you just don't comprehend as a guy.

 

But at the same time having a girl as a good friend whom you want to get with can be a bad thing. Because you have a lot of complications, like you not wanting to lose the friendship if things work out, plus she may be reluctant (many girls are) to 'ruin the friendship'. It's never 100% true and I never speak of it as being so, stereotypes never fit everyone exactly and nor do generalisations. But it is a common thing for girls to do, it happened to a friend of mine, he actually fell in love with his closest friend and when he told her she didn't say a word but completely distanced herself from him, really tragic thing.

But about the perspective thing, I have to totally agree with that, a female perspective is a very interesting thing to learn, no matter how boisterous the girl, there is always some feminie insight that you may be interested in.

 

haha, i think location interferes with this, im kinda in NJ :x:

we'll figure out something, we should just get everyone from HF to meet somewhere haha, how about stonehenge? seems quite suitable, we'll do a lan party there :good:

 

We're not a couple, thanks -OR- How's your love life?

Wow, this thread is really packed with more raw wisdom than any other in recent memory. Great job guys. Lan party, haha!
