Not sure you can be best friends with someone you are "repulsed" by.

You can if you're female. I would say the vast majority of us look past all that and just see the person on the inside. If they are especially unattractive I think it only makes you feel even sorrier for them and want to help them / befriend them even more. Everybody needs a friend.

I'm sure you're right that the opposite isn't true for guys, though.
 
In defense of the ice cream eater who waited 4 YEARS... I will say, I do kind of get it. To be honest, the moment I saw him, I said, "This one is not going to turn out well for him." The poor guy was... well... not the best looking of the bunch, I'm sorry to say. That was before they showed her feeding him. Maybe his looks are why he seemed to be in total denial that she liked him, overlooking every obvious clue. Happy ending. There is a lid for every pot!

Real men don't acknowledge a "friend zone". Don't most relationships start in the "friend zone"? Stay friends with her, and you never know, she might change her mind, esp if she sees you dating other women.

Have you ever used somebody to make another person jealous??

Do most relationships start in the friend zone? I've wondered that. Mine was opposite: "Hey, nice to meet you. Want to go out?"..."Ok. What's your name again?" Then became friends afterwards.  :)
 
Series finale of The Office tonight with a 1 hour special!

:( I'm really going to miss this show. It's one of the very few programs I've seen every episode of. It was great, although it wasn't the same since Michael left.

Real Housewives of the Bering Sea... err, I mean... Deadliest Catch:

Last night's episode was good. Jake Anderson flipped a switch, throwing fists at the guy running the block. Lots of drama ensued in the wheelhouse complete with soap opera background dramatic piano music. "I loooved youuu!  :'( "It's like watching Days of Our Lives but with beards and plastic overalls.

I always get excited when this show is on. Some of these boats are raking in $1M per crab season. Deck hands are getting $40k for a trip out. Elliot is doing surprisingly well this year. He's captaining his own vessel. Raking in the dough. He forfeited a full ride to college on an ice hockey scholarship and a chance at the pros to become a crab fisherman and he ain't sorry.
 
Anybody watching Mad Men?

As you can see, I am, because I've changed my profile picture to the 1968 version of myself.

This season is very bizarre. Don Draper tripped out on drugs. The scenes were played out as though you're inside his head.

Fyi, it was already decided a while ago that next season would be their last.
 
An anniversary gift suggestion for Mrs. Iho to give:

They had bacon gift sets on sayitwithbacon.com. Money clip, bacon cufflinks or Swiss Army type knife. All, of course, with gift boxed bacon. Sold out.

LOL, is he wearing a parachute.

No safety net!

No harness!

Deadliest Catch - good season.

After butting heads with Freddy a while, the greenhorn - who looks to be a flyweight - decided to settle this on his terms. He sucker-punched Freddy while he had his back turned. Right away, I said to the TV ('cause I talk to the TV), "Are you crazy?! You don't mess with an Island Boy!!"

Then the deckhand says, "Is he crazy? You can't mess with an Island Boy."

Then I yelled, "That's what I said!!"

Windmill arms ensued. Freddy held back. But it was enough to spell the demise of the greenhorn.



 
Dang, Catfish is good. Last night:

This one guy thinks he's chatting online to a beautiful woman. He falls in love. They "date" online for 7 months. He sends her money... thousands. He gives up his bank account info (who the heck does that, btw.) He doesn't even have a car himself and lives with his dad.

She turns out to be a fake. Well, the feelings were real. But she's a chunky monkey, not the same face, and has a different name. (He is too cute for her and he knows it.)

She used the money he sent her. She went online and bought a diamond engagement ring. She mailed it to herself with a note "written by him", which she opened in front of her mother. She took a photo of her ring and put it on Facebook where she announced their "engagement" to everyone.

The mother has a screw loose. She knew her daughter was faking the guy out but over the moon about them being "engaged".

Once he knows what she really looks like, he's over it and wants his money back. LOL
 
New show I'm watching "Naked and Afraid".

Basic premise, let's take a guy and gal that don't know each other that each have some basic survival skills.  Let's strip them, and drop them off some place for 21 days.  Step one, go find your naked counterpart.  Locations: Tanzania, some small island in the Maldives, Costa Rican jungle etc.

Give each one a single survival instrument, i.e. a hatchet, a sparkie fire starter, bush knife, or some other instrument

Film.

Next, wonder exactly how the filming is going since the naked woman is running through the night bringing food back with hyenas supposedly threaten her, but the film crew is running along filming in night vision.



 
They've been "dating" online for 8 years. He says he wants to be the father of her child.
But he won't talk to her on Skype.
Mkay. Yah sure.
Let's see who crawls out from under the floor boards this time.

The last episode of Catfish was stupidly ridiculous.

Two black gay guys have an online affair. One would never Skype, always had an excuse. Finally, the other guy got a plane ticket and flew down to see him. Sat there for 2 hrs. at a restaurant waiting on him. No show. The catfish called him and said, "Sorry but somebody carjacked me. Then they ran over me with my own car. My arm is broken and I can't see you." He emails the guy a pic as "proof"... a white hand and arm inside a cast. His boyfriend thinks something is up but not convinced (really??) Remember, I said he's black.

He also pretended to be smoking hot. Can you tell which guy is disappointed?

Last night's episode of Catfish was UH-MAZING!!!! I had to pause the TV because I was screaming!  :D
I wish someone else here watched this program.  :'(

A reverse search on the guy's phone number pulled up a profile for an older, married black guy. The total opposite of what Derek said he is. There were some genuine concerns. He wouldn't meet her for 8 years. She was engaged to somebody else but broke it off when he de-friended her for it on Facebook. She even got pregnant by another guy and he still wouldn't meet her. Nev and Max warned her this is shady.

He was real!! He was just too insecure to meet her. He was actually deathly afraid to meet her. He was trembling and sweating. All this time, he just didn't feel he was "perfect enough" to meet her. Especially where his finances are concerned.

They had their first date the day they met. Instead of talking about things like your favorite movie or other normal first date conversation it was, "I love you and I want to spend my life with you." Pretty much as soon as they met in person they decided to get engaged. They were very nervous and awkward but the chemistry was there.

The ideal outcome finally happened on this show!
 
Haven't read all of the posts, but is anyone watching Sherlock? I think it is a pretty good show for those who like crime scene mysteries.

Just starting watching it on Netflix... it's an excellent show... only 6 episodes over 2 seasons which is weird but I guess because they are so long they are like mini movies.

I still like Elementary for it's "American" portrayal of Sherlock... but both series are really good (Sherlock being more like the Robert Downey Jr movies).
 
I will have to check out Elementary.  Thanks!


Anyone watch Property Virgins? House Hunters? or any of the other HGTV shows?

Some of the comments that people say on these shows are quite interesting.  I am quite intrigued when the lady on Property Virgins always walks the client down the street of their favorite area and asks, "How much do you think it costs to live on the street you love in your favorite neighborhood?" to which the people reply some ridiculously off price that is far below. Do they not do any research?  (This may be an IR2 type of question)  But do people really go into real estate completely blind?  When I was a child, I used to find it strange that my friend's dad would read Consumer's Report and do research prior to buying anything.  Now, I find myself spending hours researching nearly every purchase.  :-\
