Foo - have you ever noticed

Have you ever noticed that when word gets out that for what ever reason or another that you are basically celibate, people start throwing their panties at you?

No, hadn't noticed that.

No, can't say that I've ever had panties thrown at me.

figurative sense,

havent had actual panties thrown at me since ummm
say college

Figuratively? Um. No. But that's probably because I'm too old for the male population under 55. :p

I wished I'd noticed such a thing. Does it only happen to guys?

I don't wear panties. Except for really really really special occasions, like Grandma's birthday.

Usually happens as soon as I'm "off the market".

it is weird, it is like the day i decided i wanted to be left alone for a bit to deal with my issues, i got proposistioned several times, i have had people call dibs. my life just gets weirder by the day.

Actually, the whole time I wore a wedding ring, I was surprised at the number of men who'd strike up a conversation out of the blue -- on busses, trains, planes, in grocery stores, waiting at a street corner, etc.... I guess there's a safety factor of some sort. They feel they can practice flirting without it going anywhere. <shrug>

I haven't worn my ring since November. And I may as well be invisible....

My wife and I talked about this a while back. People talk to married men and women when they are out for the challenge. I know of many men that are not married the wear wedding rings for this purpose. It seems to be a challenge to take the married guy home with you.

I tend to be "invisible" to others, regardless of whether I'm single or dating at the time.

That sounds like a good angle to try. I'll have to start spreading that rumor. ;)

I'm just gonna stop trying to meet single men.

<decision made, standing back, waiting for them to start flockin' in>

No, can't say that I've ever had panties thrown at me.

Your avatar has, I can guarantee you that!!! Thought it was my grandmother, sorry for the cornfusion.

Egad, c0urt! Is she lookin' for a daddy? :eek:

I hear ya, it's the worst super power ever. You would think the CIA or MI6 would have offered up a spy job by now.

I basically understand it this way:

Women don't like needy guys. Women need mates that can offer support for them and theirs, not extra baggage.

So why would she choose a man who is not trying to have sex with her , i.e. an alpha male (sure leader/go getter)?

Well it comes down to why is the man celibate? Is it his choice, for personal, ethical, or professional (too busy) reasons? Has he bagged so many one-night stands that now he's ready to possibly---key word: possibly--slow down for the "right woman"?

All of these factors are attactive to a woman. It means you are the alpha male, just possibly ripe for a taming.

However, if you are celibate for reasons beyond your control, be that financial, social, or physical/mental problems that have led to your lack of confidence coupled with a poor self-esteem...then you will turn potential females away from you.

You will come off as needing sex, not abstaining from your sexuality.

And let's face it, women don't like needy guys.

Be glad you don't have my problems!

In school, I get followed around by a bevy of 18-20 year old girls! I feel like I'm being chased by my daughters or nieces! It actually does get old......I'm not kidding! At first it was kind of an ego booster, but what can I say? I have no common ground with them AND I'm married!:(

I've tried that approach. Didn't work.

'Dipper, you are more like "us" than you realize. ;)

Women are lookin' for the man who is not "needy." The man who is satisified with his life. The man who enjoys living and life and is satisfied, yet open to the possibility of sharin it with another. And, believe me, we can pick up on the fakes. ;)

Thanks, 'Dipper, for your astute, yet, for reasons-nature-made-ya, uncluttered input. :) I loves me mah youngah 'Dippah. :)

Donna, Vega - You are BOTH very nice ladies. Single guys in your areas must be blind...

...or scared of cyclists.

...or strong women.

I haven't had panties thrown at me recently, but I'll ask my wife to pitch her's my way.:rolleyes:

Tom, I teach 10th graders, I am so tired of seeing nearly everything their parents gave them. I am getting turned off when I see pretty young girls. THAT is a truly a drag.

wow dipper, that was a well worded and insightful answer.

my dad actually came along and in one of his few words of wisdom (his jaw is currently broken in two places) so his words of wisdom are few and far between, "each girl wants to think she can be
the one so to speak. the one to get you to settle down, and to be the one to tame you. which is odd. they all know i am a flight risk given how many times i am have skipped town on a whim since high school


as for the preggo chick, i told her to take a number someone else already called first dibs.

eh...does this expain why your nickname for me is Mr. Silicone? :rolleyes:

You must be one of those charming types, c0urt.

according to a friend i am really charismatic and sell myself really well. so maybe.

it is odd really, but pretty much anytime i dont answer my celly more than once people start to assume i have skipped town again

Perhaps not so odd since you say that is a habit of yours.

??? Did I ever call you "Mr. Silicone"? If so, perhaps in the way that you don't seem to take things personally.... But I don't recall this. PM me with the ref.... <concerned Vega look, especially given the way you highlighted>

No, you never called me that. That was my self-deprecating humor. The humor gets kind of lost without the rythm of a normal conversation. Also, some of my ambiguous references are not easy to grasp. :rolleyes:

mmkay. I mean, I know your humor, but I didn't want others to get the wrong impression that perhaps I'd somehow dismissed you as a "fake." :)

I had a nasty bra thrown at me the other day. Someone dug it out of the wall at an old medical school.

You find the weirdest things doing demolition.

Wow. That's really bizarre.
