It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin: A Thread About Dating

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Try finding a specific Japanese person in the middle of Shibuya. Fucking impossible.

And yet when i was in Japan a few years ago, my brother and I met an Australian couple at a pub in Asakusa and 3 days later randomly ran into them with having had any further interaction in the middle of Shinjuku. We couldn't fucking believe it.

Calling a creeper Rico Suave sounds too nice. But smelling someone is pretty disturbing!!

I've had a guy at work that I've named Norman Bates. For example, people have watched him walked slowly passed me, staring holes in the back of my head. My friend felt dirty for me--I would be happy not knowing the details, but alas!

On the topic of terrible ways to pick up women, my girl friend sometimes has to interact with a really creepy guy who is constantly hitting on her, and this is what she said this morning:

Does she wear strong perfume or deodorant?

Sometimes I am really glad I'm flat-chested and not hot because I never get creepers like that.

Im really really really into flat chested, ,outh breathing, pale gingers. giggidy.




ps...this sort of post is not fun if you still have me on ignore or pretend to have me on ignore.

[Originalbob]

Well, if you're a flirt and skinny, you can still be classified as being "hot". Another example from my work. A horrible co-worker, but she flirted it up with everyone and looked like a meth user, well, in fact she used to be. It also depends on your confidence around men

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Does she wear strong perfume or deodorant?

She does not. it's a pretty amazing thing to say to someone.

asians have sub categories though...you can't pick a specific person out of a group of asians, but you can pick the korean out of the asians or the jap out of the asians.

I hope you realize that "Jap" is kinda derogatory.

The company I work for right now is Japanese based. Even being Asian, I have trouble identifying them.

[frazzles]

Distinguishing between Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans in general is fairly easy, though.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Especially if you hear them speak. The cadence and rhythms of their languages are totally different.

[Goatchella]

sorry i did NOT mean to insult or be derogatory in any way. I love Japanese culture and people.

[Robin]

No worries. I meet a lot of honkies that don't know it's derogatory.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

"Jap" dates back to WWII. Especially offensive to Japanese-Americans people who had family in the US internment camps. It looked like you just didn't know though.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

A funny note about derogatory names: I always hear white people correct other white people on the use of "Persian" with that saying of "Persian is a rug, not person," and yet every person i know whose is from iran 9and i have several friends who were either born there or are 1st gen US-born and still speak Farsi and everything) always use Persian as an adjective for describing people, food, etc. I don't know where the idea that it's derogatory came from.

[Robin]

I don't like it when people call me Oriental. Makes me feel like I'm an Asian craft.

I AM NOT A RUG, DAMMIT!

[Goatchella]

i know that dumb fucks use it to put down other people. I don't hate any certain ethnicity and i am ignorant period.
Sorry to anyone I offended.

[Gundam]

Sure. I also like oxygen and food, in general.

I feel like we have so much in common...

I've never heard this. I took Farsi for over a year, have many Persian friends, and dated a Persian girl for a while. Everyone uses Persian to refer to the both the people and the language. Actually, Farsi is not a proper English term (it'd be like calling German Deutsch) but everyone except the teachers/TAs call it that anyway. In the Persian language, Persian people are referred to as Iranians, but I think the reason Persian is preferred here is because people want to distance themselves from the current regime in Iran.

[fatbastard]

I belive the proper terminology is gook.

used heavily in Vietnam and old Russell Crowe movies

I just found out one of my coworkers might be divorcing after 9 years. He's only a couple months older than I, but I sympathize for him. They've both agreed to visit therapists seperately while mostly living apart.

Question: If someone only gives lip service to Christianity (drinks, smokes, doesn't attend church) and the other has gradually become an Atheist over the last 5 years, do you think it's right to expect them to believe in God as a way to mend the relationship?

[stinkbutt]

Depends how much they want that ass

[Originalbob]

He's protective of his virgin taking pussy, even though he used to be active. He mentioned to me he's sort of excited to live alone and be back in the dating scene, despite my cautions to the wind, but he honestly doesn't want it to end. He's even willing to have missionary lessons to see through the hogwash. I feel bad for him in so many ways.

[Mugwog]

ITS WHAT YOU GET FOR LIVING IN UTAH

[Originalbob]

He wants to move to California for some strange reason

[Mugwog]

He just needs a disconnect from the everyday, it sounds like he wants to be himself, but also trying to consider feelings. If you don't believe in teh same religion as your partner, problems will arise and you will grow tired of hearing bullshit about praying to fix your problems, when you don't even believe in what you're praying to.

[Mugwog]

Everyone thinks california is the promised land.

And it is.

We've got movies, porn, weed, vegetables, hippies, new age thinking, cars, and mangos from mexico. WHO WOULDNT wANT THAT?

[stinkbutt]

People who don't like cancer

[guedita]

People who realize a lot of people in CA are exactly like Mugwog

[M Sparks]

He's protective of his virgin taking pussy, even though he used to be active.

Is this a Mormon phrase?
