I ran out of tasty lunch foods. There's homemade lasagna.

If you knew ANYTHING than you have known that 95% of the female population would do many things for a 75% dark chocolate bar.

Oh I know, you've told me before.

It was worth a try anyway.

When I started this thread, I never meant for it to turn into a flirting session between Nihil and Moosey, but I think it's kind of, well, sweet. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/tomato.gif[/img]

Moosey--I don't know you very well, but you seem intelligent, witty, and nice.

And, Nihil needs a woman--bad.

If I lived in a Polish or Russian village, I'd be the yenta.

On the other hand, as one of my friends once said, "The mating rituals of all species are often inexplicable and strange."

[MIKolbe]

wow.. you're right... you dont know moosey very well....

[Moosey]

Lol, you'd be surprised how against the arrangement Nihil is.

I wish we lived in a Russian village. That'd be boss (minus the arranged marriage thing).

Methinks Nihil doth protest too much.

Yeah arranged marriages would be a negative--particularly if you never got to meet the person beforehand. On the other hand, sometimes dating smells of elderberries and an arranged marriage (to which you would have the full power to object) doesn't sound ALL bad.

If my parents had had the power to arrange marriages, although they have never said this, I know exactly who they would have had me marry (the son of my father's best friend). He grew up to be intelligent, nice, successful, and VERY good looking--even heterosexual. So, maybe I would have done better with him, than the husband I picked on my own (huge mistake). On the other hand, the guy my parents would have wanted me to marry might have objected to ME as not being good enough for him. (His wife is VERY attractive.) So, nothing is perfect.

You may be right. He has legitimate concerns so I can't say that I blame him.

MIKolbe, although you are wise in many things, and I adore you (in a totally platonic way that would only amuse (not offend) your wife), you would make a crummy yenta.

Thank goodness for Moosey that you are already spoken for.

Many of Nihil's "legitimate" concerns are all in his imagination or he has made them more important than they are. I will hit him upside the head the next time we talk.

Trust me--Nihil wants (and needs) a woman--bad. But, he is scared, so he only goes for women he has adored from afar, or who live so far away that they are not a threat. Like most men his age, he is very scared. Also, unfortunately women grow up faster than men, so he may be too young. However, Nihil shows wisdom far beyond his years, so the "too young" ideally would apply less to him.

Unfortunately, it's the very intelligent, but really nice guys who are the biggest noobs with women. Guys with the IQ of a mailbox can't see why women wouldn't be falling all over them. Intelligent guys see their faults and weaknesses and magnify them out of proportion.

Sorry, what did I say? You lost me.

I wish MIKolbe wasn't spoken for, but, hey, that's life. Plus, I'm old enough to be his babysistter. So, platonic is cool, I can live with that.

[IgnatiusofLoyola]

Duplicate post. Why is the system doing this?

Welp, I'm not going to wait around for the epiphany. I don't have that many good years left in me

Nihil's epiphany? Yeah, I think that's wise. Sometimes the smartest, nicest guys are the slowest, and the most clueless. He'll get there, but he's going to wander around like an idiot for a few years. Might keep him humble. But, frustrating for the women around him.

I still don't understand your comment after I said MIKolbe was spoken for, but that's cool. You know I wasn't trying to be offensive or mean.

Wait until you get a little older. ALL the good ones seem to be taken. I've decided I'd rather be single than be married to a guy who drives a snowplow and scratches his beer belly. Silly, I know, because I'm in no position to be fussy, but I still have my limits.

One positive note--All my workmates that it seemed like would never get married actually did, but some had to wait until their 30's. Some great guys are REALLY slow. But, suddenly the slow guys got hit with the urge to get married, and my co-workers were in the right place at the right time.
