Need your best snapping-out-of-it-in-Irvine advice

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Oh! While I'm at it....Skek, Oscar, Optimus...is there some secret Conservative club I could join? I don't hate liberals, but I could pretend to....





Thanks again everyone for responding...this has made me laugh :-)
 
[quote author="4walls4me" date=1232714250]Hey, where's Panda? He's always gathering info...surely he knows where guys who likes conservative, Midwestern blonde chicks hang out.



Thanks bv..but 18 is a little too young. I like 'em a 5 to 10 years older than myself...do you have a 35+ half brother or a step-uncle-once-removed?</blockquote>


He's going to tell you to go to church.
 
Church would involve getting up early on Sundays, wouldn't it?



*sigh*



I'm going to have to put in effort aren't I? Rats!!



Actually, I haven't had trouble meeting guys and dating around here...it's finding the right one that's hard, ya know? Perhaps Obama will "spread the wealth" and "redistribute" some of those Alaskan guys down to California. I'd be all right with that, lol.



Fortunately, I'm not looking for a new guy just yet. But you are all giving me things to think about and I appreciate it.

Well I do feel like a loser! Where exactly do you meet all these guys? Send some "not right ones" my way, okay?



Or actually, perhaps it's the vibes I send off. I am not Christian, first of all, and that excludes the vast majority of men who might otherwise be a good match. Plus I'm almost 40 now and have a kid...It seems that the kind of man I want (in his late 30s/early 40s, successful professional or executive with at least a bachelors if not an advanced degree, financially secure, reasonably fit...in other words, pretty much my equal) is not looking for someone like me...he's looking, actually, for someone like you! (aack).

That really should be PANDA and Ten...not me.</blockquote>


I see two white boys in this picture, so it can't be me. I say it is Graphix and Ten.

Sorry Walls,



My first girlfriend ended up being my wife so i am sure that i am the last person you would want to hear any advice from. You just need to find couple of good girl friends like Caycifish, Irvinesinglemom, or SoCal to bond with, then you will forget about that stupid guy.
 
My suggestion: my church-



A day at Santa Anita!

Oh no, Irvinesinglemom, I didn't mean it like that!!! Not at all. I'm sorry my phrasing came off that way.



I'm lucky in that I'll engage strangers if I'm bored. If someone looks interesting, I'll just talk to them (doesn't have to be a guy). And sometimes when i talk to guys for whatever reason they think "she doesn't suck" and ask me out. There's nothing special about me, believe me.



One guy I dated I met on a bench outside the freaking Yardhouse. He seemed like a friendly, good-spirited guy...he was holding his hands kind of over his face and, as I take boxing lessons, I randomly walked up to him and said "your left jaw is open" and took a (playful) punch at him. He thought it was cute this "tiny little girl" (his words) knew about fighting, we starting talking, dated, and are still friends now. Things like that.



I think it's helps I'm comfy just being me.



I don't look so much at education, money, etc...I just look for a man with good head and a good heart. If they got that, everything else falls into place in just about all the other departments.
 
[quote author="irvinesinglemom" date=1232711096]4walls - hang out with me! I rarely get to hang out with girlfriends because everyone either lives too far away or is married with kids and extended family that they're forever needing to attend to and all that crap. I have been single and dateless for more than three years and can tell you that it is just about impossible to meet men in Irvine. And the gym? Forget about it! I have been working out in gyms since I was 22 years old with 15% body fat and I have never, EVER met anyone (guy or girl) in a gym. So other than the minor complication that I generally have a kindergartner tagging along at my heels, I would love to hang out with you!</blockquote>


I can't speak for the ladies, but I can confirm that trying to meet guys at a gym is probably a bad idea. At least if they go to the gym for the purpose of exercise, not socialization. If you are try to build muscle, the amount of rest between sets of lifting weights is very important. If you don't rest long enough, you won't recover enough to have an effective "next" set. If you rest too long, then you lose all the benefit of trying to blast a group of muscles. Though there is variation between people, generally speaking you have somewhere between 30 seconds and 1 1/2 minutes between sets to rest. (I rest 45 seconds) That doesn't leave much time for socializing.

It's no secret, but are you familiar with the <a href="http://www.lincolnclub.org/mc/page.do">Lincoln Club</a>? I'm not a member, but have been considering joining.

Call me cynical...when I was your age I didn't care about education or money or status either. But through experience, I have raised my standards. I will never again date a man who, when I comment that "the instructions are all convoluted", asks what that means and when I tell him it means all twisted and messed up, demands to know why I didn't just say that. Or the man who constantly needs a loan from me because he just lost his minimum wage job. Seriously!



I joined Mensa many years ago but when I attended events, it seemed like the people there were all much older than me, and many of them were just plain weird. I joined an athiest group once but again, the crowd was totally not my type - (when people really press me hard to name my religion, I respond that I am "tolerant." To me, athiest groups are just as bad as religious groups - too preachy and domineering about their personal beliefs, and always trying to convert you).



Okay, this brings me to post #499. Inspired by Trooper, I think I'm going to make Post #500 something a little different....

On second thought, maybe you ought to stay away from the track or the SoCal cardrooms.................
 
Come on ten, this thread had your name all over it from the first post and I haven't even seen you go after the mark.



Go after the prize instead of the CB. No offense BV but i'd like to see ten show his A game. Don't fall for the simple diversion attempt of the CB.



edit: and for 4walls, when I saw you mention midwestern, I do know plenty of girls that love this country bar up in Fullerton with line dancing and crap. Not sure if there are any guys there but usually midwestern and country go hand in hand.



edit #2: the banter between ten and bv reminded me of this show on VH1 I saw recently called Tool Academy.

Dude in that video is Brody Jenner, not me.

You should know better.

My skillz, like those of Kobe, are ill.

MVP caliber!

Here?s what it looks like when someone at my level (Kobe) gives BV a shot.
