Title: are you in a relationship (non virtual)
Post by: captain-custard on December 23, 2008, 03:44:44 am
so after a debate in one of the iamzack posts i was wondering what are youi all up too when the relationship depasses the man / machine realm

please be honest ... you can vote 3 times one for your relationship status ,one for your gender and one for your oreintation


i left the snuffle........ option out as relations with invisible life forms are technically virtual



ps please can the moderators not add voting options to the poll, if you waznt to see something added please post here and we can discuss it

lol i'm sure many of us exit the realm of Freespace at least once a week

However I was interested in making a spoof campaign in which Karajorma was God in the form of a sath, and was subsequently assimilated into the freespace universe during the 70's as a US Army Black Project designed to fight the the Russians, but was scrapped and given to Interplay. So in that case Karajorma...



IS

FREESPACE


 :lol:

and thus would never exit the realm and wouldn't be able to take part in the poll when selecting his gender, as you notably omitted Machine


joking, joking

I needed four options to cover everything. :(

EDIT: Actually, five, to cover gender too. :P

To explain: I am male. I have a girlfriend. I identify myself as both hetero and bi at the same time, for the simple reason that I do not react to the human male form in a sexual sense but remain curious about the actual experience when it's a given that I'm never going to meet someone I'd actually care to try it with. (Wrap your head around that, if you can.) Also the committed relationship with the girlfriend involves sex toys. :P

mmmmh .  . . this is painful. I'm with a girl who's going up to a college town 90 miles away in a month, so I guess she's really just a fling, although I really wish she was more . . . but life is like that  :sigh:

So yeah, I guess that would be closer to toy in a way, which is just a horrible thing to say.

But yeah, I'm not a total lamer, although some days it seems like it.

I've edited the poll to allow users to change their votes. It comes handy when additional options are added, like the single. As much as I wanted to fix spelling too, that is Goober's job. :p

Edit: WTF means "if it stays still long enough ill give it a try". :wtf: That can be interpreted in too many ways.

Alright so I'm an idiot and clicked single and then realized your gathering other data too.  I should learn how to read and stop making fun of people who don't :D

Anyways...yeah ...single...its how things are.  Things are too complicated for relationships...but it'd probably be nice. Then I could do the couple things that my friends are all into these days.  I'm the token single person...have to keep up the representation you know.

Except the biology more or less rebelled and, as I noted, I can't be really considered bi or bi-curious because that implies some kind of possiblity it would actually happen, which, given the fact I don't react at all to guys, it isn't. So it's not even really bi-curious...it's academically curious.

It is that easy. And how do you know you don't catch anyones interest? If you have friends just work your way around the social web, and you'll find someone. If you don't, get some :P

Pretty sure Darwin awards are granted only to those who successfully off themselves (and thus hopefully removing themselves from the genepool) doing something incredibly stupid.

Most of the folks here are young and have some time before they are no longer able to spawn.  Since the majority are male...it'll be a while too!

On a more serious note...bringing children into the world is an expensive proposition and a very long term commitment.  Better to have things sorted out in other areas prior to doing such a thing.  Just common sense speaking.  Not sure if being in college/university or attending high school is the right time these days.  Perhaps in the 15th century.

Y'know, I'm really starting to wonder if, having entered my fourth decade, I've become one of those dopey old farts who just doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the world any more. I just don't get what is going on with this whole "furry fandom" sex thing at all. Furverts? Yiffing? Someone did a study on this? I even read the Wikipedia entry quoted below but that just didn't help me either - if anything, I feel even more bemused.

Has the world moved on and left me behind? I know I'm not the most open-minded guy, but: "...about half of the furry fans are estimated to be in a relationship, with 76% of those having a relationship with another furry..."

WTF????


Wikipedia, BTW:

<< Differing approaches to sexuality have been a source of controversy and conflict in furry fandom.[citation needed] Examples of sexual aspects within furry fandom include erotic art and furry-themed cybersex.[43][44] The term "yiff" is most commonly used to indicate sexual activity or sexual material within the fandom—this applies to sexual activity and interaction within the subculture whether online (in the form of cybersex) or offline.[45][46] Many members of the furry community feel that the overly sexual component gives the rest of them a bad name, and may use the derogatory term "furvert" to describe such people. (See the following section for more details.)

The majority of furries report a non-judgmental attitude towards certain aspects of sexuality and a high tolerance for variety in sexual orientation and activity[citation needed]. 19-25% of the fandom members report homosexuality, 37-48% bisexuality, and 3-8% other forms of alternative sexual relationships. About 2% state an interest in zoophilia, and less than 1% an interest in plushophilia.[47][26] Initially, the bulk of these figures were collected by David J. Rust in 1997 but since then further research has been conducted to update these findings. About half of the furry fans are estimated to be in a relationship, with 76% of those having a relationship with another furry.[47][26] >>

Besides, the time we spend as friends is a good time to test if we can really get in a relationship. For now, the outlook is poor.

Yeah, I'm a narrow minded SOB

I think it'll do me better to refrain from putting forward my own personal experience in layman's terms, and rather just sit on the sidelines.
Yeah I also agree about the difference in terms with those issues between east and west, hell, I'm Asian by definition (Sri Lankan.... if you didn't already guess that by looking at my username) living in Aus. But people who grow up in a different environment at home and a dramatically different scene socially seem to rebel against one or the other, so I've grown up with a kind of distaste to the conservativeness and integrity of relationships my parents always talk about. It grows especially worse when your home life is pretty much like living in another country (...take a guess?), where anything related to Christianity, the West, the military etc can be met with a wall of criticism by the two domineering members of the family.

Anyway, is she hawwwt?

Well basically now I subconsciously do things that rebel against the social values my parents taught me (mostly my Mother, Jesus, her teenage years were more sheltered than a bloody dog's kennel, meaning she basically understands none of what I talk about). Now I'm the token Christian of our household because 'it made more sense than a bloody wheel' (apologies for any Buddhists here, I was 11 when I said that to my parents, I have a slightly more respectful attitude towards the religion now),  I'm now the family's resident gangster (referring to clothing style only, my parents drug education seems to have penetrated my parental shields), and Military Cadet. Pretty much a summary of everything my Mother doesn't understand in the Western World. Hell, when I told her the guys in Easy Company in Band of Brothers were the kind of people I respected she didn't talk to me for about a week. But my Father's brother (my uncle) served in the sl army for quite a while before becoming a geo, so my dad has more of an insight into what I meant by that, as well as the fact he led pretty much the total opposite of my mother's adolescence, and knows what I mean when I say "I NEED these baggy jeans to LIVE! I dont' wanna get beat up on the way to the video store!" whereas my mother would rather tell me to 'listen to some real music' and 'get better grades', the latter of which she really pushes me to do, so I have respect for her for that. But otherwise she's basically a fish out of water when it comes to my social life.

I don't think I'll ever be able to use my mate's body covered in loose leaves as cover... or tell my section that we'd have to leave the 2IC behind because his wounds were slowing the whole section down.

I'm single because quite frankly everywhere i go, all the women are in relationships. And it pisses me the **** off!!! Not only that the women i do like and ask out turn me down. **** YOU BIATCHES!!! At least i don't get told the "i want to wait". Even though that may be a good response, it'd send me up the wall. I'd much rather not hear about a prospect that may or may not happen. To me, that responses garners in a cheesey ****ing answer that the girl could come up with to give me false hope because she didn't want to hurt me.

I'd rather be hurt than misled. I like yes's or no's the best. I have much more respect for a woman who'll tell me no than some bull**** answer. And i don't get hurt in hearing a no, i feel great comfort in getting a sure response. Regardless of whether or not i'll be pissed off temporarily. In which case prospects for women in fairbanks isn't really that great at all. I'm a nice guy with a good sense of humor and high self esteem and is intelligent (this is great because i'm not bland, i don't hate myself, and so on). Women get along great with me all the time. I'm raelly blunt with the things i say, but that's just me. I make sure that doesn't get in the way of things. At times it can. I have many woman friends, but this pisses me off. No female is romantically interested in me? WTF!!!

So i'm looking elsewhere. I did gain yellow fever recently, but whatever. I still have hope for the area i'm living right now.

Time for some beer at the bar a block away now. Of which to stay away from the hot chicks with kids, which just makes me think "OH NOW YOU WANT SOMEBODY WHO'S COOL HEADED AND STABLE?"

S-99, I hope you don't believe them. There are many women who claim to be in a relationship while the truth is different.

And even women engaged with someone else might spend a night(or an afternoon) with you.

Post by: Dilmah G on January 11, 2009, 04:08:20 am
Well I'll tell you what a 'player' once said to me, and it's helped a lot

You say you have a lot of Chick Friends, that's your problem right there, if you buy her a drink, pay her compliments, act as her f*cking doormat, she's going to treat you like a girlfriend, that's right, girlfriend, she's going to talk with you for hours about all kinds of 'chick issues', that's not getting you anywhere is it? I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a woman a drink, rather you she should probably be your gf before you start doing so.

If you do buy her the drink at the bar kinda thing, you're just like every other guy whose come, tried, and failed, and is now at the bottom of her fonebook. Point I'm making is, you have to be DIFFERENT, by this I don't mean you dress like I do/as if you're my age (I'm assuming you're dramatically older than me, like most other people here), I mean you have to come off as confident, funny, smart, cool... in other words, not her F*CKING DOORMAT!

Now you do that, by acting different, you have your own style now, from this day onwards, you shall never buy women drinks, women buy YOU drinks. That means you act confident, hell, slightly arrogant (not in general, just to women, to show you're funny, have good self esteem), now don't take that the wrong way and walk up to the local bimbo and throw her drink in her face and tell her to buy another one. That's called being an asshole. You have to come off decent, but not 'too nice', it's okay to act like you normally would and actually buy her drink once in a while, but seriously, EVERYONE does that, it is OLD, if you see another guy doing it and failing, learn a lesson from it, and don't do it.

Don't think Im saying every chick out there is a ***** either, there are nice chicks, but you need to give them a reason to like you, is your hair good? do you work out? do you make money (if your looking at a goldigger, still helps sometimes though), are you UNIQUE? are you NOT a carbon copy of every white male out there

Depends on wheter or not you want a serious relationship. If everything you want is to f**k then you shouldn't care about her ignorance...but if you do want to experience something serious then forget about her.

Ignorant people are very likely to come from ignorant families. My gf is not ignorant, I met her when I was still attending the lycee, but her relatives are. And that bugs me because I usually feel like "What kind of people are those?!? :wtf:"

Its true...everywhere I go now and not a single single girl in sight.  Well a small few....but nothing clicking there.  The last wedding I was at I don't think there was anyone single there at all.  I'm thinking the last resort of online dating may still come up.  Those eHarmony commercials are starting to work.

Maybe I just got lucky then, I mean we had a ruff spot that nearly took us apart, but it really only strengthened our relationship in the end. I wasn't looking for a relationship, not even a friend, yet I not only found the best friend I could ever ask for, but also found the person I love dearly and somehow loves me. For those who believe in God, I know we were set up, for those who don't just come to your own conclusion.

But, the reason I said it was comical, is that maybe if you can't find someone, just don't get desperate. I just wonder if most aren't willing to go through the time it takes to create a strong relationship and just want something to occur overnight, and BTW that includes listening to problems and sincerely wanting to help out, not just wanting them to fall into your arms for listening.

No problems with any of that.  Even met a couple of people that I think I'm compatible with and just have that feeling that they could be the right one ...which is where the other shoe always drops.  Not single...not for a long time...totally unavailable.  I got burned waiting for one once just to see if that would work.

Not desperate...but sometimes its a bit hard: only single person in the entire venue, only single person in the party, gift cards such as movie night free for two, trips I'd like to take...but have to go by myself (meeting new people is fine and all...do it all the time...but ...usually unfulfilling), etc.

As far as getting out and being with friends....that takes work and sometimes its serious amounts of work.  People will remember if you go to something but they will remember even more if you didn't.  As much as I hate it.,.Facebook has been key for both keeping in touch with people as well as organizing events within my circles of friends.  I'm out every weekend or every other weekend...

Keep up with people. Invest the time.  Its worth it.

 :nod: Yep. Except I have MySpace instead of Facebook. *Waits for flak* :p

Although I haven't attempted as much as you. :sigh: Because I'm a bit lazy. I'll try to try, though, since it was my New Year's resolution.

My main problem here is that, quite honestly, I don't have any friends at all around here, at least not in the face-to-face sense.  (Hell, I don't really have any acquaintances, even.)  I didn't keep in touch with any of my high school classmates after I graduated (which was a good five years ago), and I only really made one or two good friends over my college years.  I have been keeping in sporadic IM contact with my best friend from school (who, amusingly enough, just got engaged to her boyfriend at the same school), but that's about it.  I'm not saying this in a moping way or as someone who's looking for sympathy, but I really don't have any sort of physical social interaction at all at the moment.  What I do have is a great group of online friends I got involved with via a particular forum, so I'm not entirely cut off from the outside world, but even then, I balk at the idea of meeting them face-to-face.

Thats the way I felt after I left highschool.  I suppose you've moved a few times in between?  That makes things hard.  If someone is more than an hour drive away its often impossible to keep things up.

20 minutes away for me and I believe 10 or more minutes don't really make the difference. I know a guy who takes about one hour and a half to visit his gf without any problems.

Not once, unless you count going to school and back every semester.  We've lived in this house for more than 15 years now.  Unfortunately, said longevity has done nothing to aid my social life. :p

I just mean friends in general.  If its your girlfriend and thats how it has to be...then thats doable I suppose.  I know people who have managed.  I have no idea personally.

Well, depends...now, with the University, my friends are spread all over Italy but we try to keep in touch if possible. Let's face it, friends and gfs usually aren't conveniently close to us.

Or in my case just not convenient at all.
