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

[TomAz]

Hypothesis: she's just using fax to test her boyfriend.

Not saying I believe this to be true, but that it is a plausible motive.

[mountmccabe]

The problem in general is that you're willing to make judgements from the outside looking in with no understanding of the dynamics of the relationship.

Everyone makes judgements from the outside. My judgements are not condemnations. And everyone is an asshole about something some of the time; doing something assholish does not necessarily ruin you for life.

But yeah, I am not big on cheating. All that fucking means is that I shouldn't be with someone who is.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Why is it called cheating anyways? As if you're skipping ahead to an understated goal.

[thelastgreatman]

Isn't it another form of cruelty to deny a woman the immeasurable joy of being bedded by me just because she's in the unfortunate position of being in a relationship with someone else?

[HotHamWater]

I've been involved with a couple of married women, and the main reason why I've felt bad is because my parents have a history of infidelity in their marriage. I saw how much it hurt my mom, so that's why I felt like a bad person for being the "other" guy. I agree that, in both situations, it wasn't my responsibility to keep the vows of the marriage. Also, in both instances, the husband had told the wife he wanted a divorce or separation before she and I had a fling. There were obvious problem with their marriages, and I used that to justify things to myself.

Just know, Fax, that there's a good chance he'll find out about it at some point. The husband found out in both of my situations. Nothing happened either time, but it was rather tense there for a bit.

[ThatGirl]

I was cheated on by my ex husband, with a co worker of mine that pretended to be my friend so she could keep tabs on me. There are definitely instances where both parties are responsible and accountable for the outcomes.

Saturday night a creeper decided the best way to hit on me would be to draw me a tit pic. I told him in writing I was going to throw up all night.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

You see! They dress the way they do and expect guys not to draw them tit pics.

[miscorrections]

To make it super special I later found out he was at the venue with an Anime/Furry Meetup group.

[miscorrections]

The ugly fat girls in fedoras and ties crying outside while complaining about overlarge dicks should've clued me in that disaster was imminent.

[thelastgreatman]

What's wrong with being ugly and fat in a fedora?

[miscorrections]

I don't think Supre would complain about overlarge dicks probing his hamhole.

[miscorrections]

Says the fat bitch.

[faxman75]

Bullfrog head, I like that.

But yeah, they're just dating, and even if they were married... if she strays, it was gonna happen anyway. Might as well be with faxy.

Might as well be. He's a bit of a loser. He was a theif and did some prison time and only got hired because mom works in HR. He has to be talked to regularly about how he explodes in meetings. We are friendly to eachother in that we are co workers. He doesn't own a car and lives far from the city with his mom. She has some issues and lives with her mom as well. They are both in their early 30's. They both look miserable fairly regularly. Tom's guess probably isn't far off either, I think she likes to test how irrational he can be and then calls him out on it. If he ever got in my face over anything I would use my clever phrase "if you feel frogish, leap". That might be fun. Poor guy is also battling addiction so they never go out and drink together. He has ranted about how drinking is a "trigger" and he won't ever put himself in that situation.

I entertain these fantasies because they are much better than the other offer I get from an ex who is just downright scary. That said I have several trips coming up in the next few months with a different platonic friend that i've known since we dated back when we were in our late teens. Faux dates are better than no dates I suppose. I"m not really into her beyond the platonic aspect these days since we've dated twice over the years and it usually ends because we drive eachother crazy or annoy the piss out of each other.

... you are the fucking whitest person I've ever known. Holy shit, Fax.

He doesn't warrant the formal, huh?

[guedita]

Non, absolument non.

[faxman75]

Randy, I know it!

[guedita]

Wait, I thought you said YOU had a downright scary ex that is your other option. Is it this gentleman? I didn't know you swung both ways.

[thelastgreatman]

Looking forward to next week's thread: Faxman Got The Everloving Shit Stomped Out Of Him And Didn't Even Get Laid.

What is feeling "froggish" exactly, Fax? What piece of shitty hip-hop did you incorrectly hear that from?

[marooko]

STAY AWAY!

[faxman75]

Oh, i've discussed her before. I wouldn't know where to begin. Her recent ex-husband who is former military and suffers from PTSD used to call me in near tears asking for advice on how to leave her. She is the kids mom.

A black guy I used to work with in Chicago used to use the phrase regularly. I didn't get it from hip-hop.

[thelastgreatman]

It's froggy, not froggish, you dipshit.

[faxman75]

Thanks for that necessary distinction.

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

That chick isn't going to meet me after all. I am somewhat relieved. Thanks for your help everybody!

What is he swapping his meat for? and what is he getting in exchange for his girlfriend?


Faxman, this just sounds horribly bleak. Don't settle for this kind of cesspool situation. You can do so much better.

[guedita]

I just got a smart phone, and I don't even know what the fuck the TALK application on it is, but I was rudely woken up by it beeping multiple times yesterday morning with an urgent "SIGN ONLINE! HURRY! IMPORTANT!" message from my ex-boyfriend. So I sign onto Gchat thinking that some family member of his has died, only to learn that he wants to tell me that he got his Monomania vinyl in the mail. GET SO FUCKED.

[amyzzz]

yikes.
