And so it begins.....

[BroncoMama]

Today at lunch, my ten year old informed me that he needs a girlfriend. He then asked how he should go about finding one. I told him to call up his Uncle Cody and ask him for advice......

How are they so cute and small one day and then the next they're telling you they want a girlfriend???? :wtf:

 

[Meat_]

Alright Brendon!

Just wait until Alyssa starts looking for a boyfriend.

 

[Cody]

why in the hell would he want to do a thing like that?!?

I mean, girls are grand and all, but he's got at least another 20 years of freedom to look forward to before he throws in the towel. Don't let him give up so early!

Hmmmm...maybe I should let him call Uncle Cody. Might not be the conversation I had imagined!

in my young 28 years, I've found only 3 things that are universally consistent amongst all of the fairer sex.

1) They don't understand themselves, so they can not be understood by anyone else
2) They are prone to bouts of emotional irrationality, and in turn blind to logic
3) They are cold blooded liars. Every last one of them.

That 3rd may sound a bit harsh, but every time you ask a women a black or white question, and their answer is "I don't care". They are lying. That is just the most innocent example.

That’s not to say they don’t have some redeeming qualities.

My opinion should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. I’m shaped by universal disappointment in every girl I’ve ever been excited about, which combined with how content I am with my life and the independence I value so highly, manifests itself as indifference towards relationships. I don't need one to be happy, and won't feel disapointed if I never find that right girl that can put up with me.


I have a feeling I'm going to get gang stomped by our happy married folk in this thread lol

It has already started with Alyssa as well. She currently has a crush on a gentleman who resides in Utah and has taken to texting him on as frequent of a basis as her mother will allow. She is seven and we are in for a world of trouble with that one.

I have nothing to debate with you Cody, you are absolutely correct! Most days I don't understand myself, therefore why would my husband? I am prone to bouts of emotional irrationality and logic annoys me. And last but not least, I do lie.

Example: Do you want to go out this weekend? NO.

The truth: Of course I want to go out! I want to go rock crawling, but I can't so therefore, I'm going to stay at home and pout because I'm currently transfer case-less.

Here's the kicker though, my husband knows all this about me and loves me anyways. The day will come when you'll meet someone who knocks your socks off and you will gladly give up your independence because being without her is only misery.

cody I agree with you 150% and wish that I had learned this lesson so early on as you have.... it would have made my life so easy going.... I wouldn't have an exwife that tells her own daughter one thing then tells the world another... causing life to be a total hell for everyone! joy joy!!!

rant over...
carry on...

Sorry Tara for raining on your parade....

Tara, you have just begun.

I have a daughter who just turned 16She has a senior at her school taking her to Sweethearts dance in a couple of weeks. I am having one helluva time biting my tongue and not telling him how I will end his life if he touches my baby.

Add to that a pair of 15 year old boys in the house, and it's an adventure. All the girls texting them constantly is rediculous.

Tara told me to lighten up, to which I told her it was the one time in life I got to be totally irrational and it was her job to be the logical one. I have always told my daughter she couldn't date until she was 30.

There just aren't a lot of deaf, mute, girls out there that are at minimum 75% as awesome as I am.

Plus, I don't see any reason why I should "give up" anything to be in a relationship. It shouldn't be a sacrifice. It should compliment what I arleady do.

 

[Milner]

Keeley is not allowed to date EVER!!

 

[phatfoto]

My daughter isn't dating while in college, so far, she has a 5 year plan... More power to her, and no, none of you can have her number...

My slightly older son is probably going to be married way too soon, only because everyone he hangs around with does. My fault for sending him to Snow...

That, is a fantastic post.

I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine a boy wanting to take Lyssie out. My two neices are 15 and 17 and that is giving me plenty of grey hair, I can't imagine what it will be like when it's my own babies.

Keeley is not allowed to date EVER!!

I like your confidence. Keep us posted on how that works for ya.

yaaa brendon make your parants go crazzzzyyyyyyy

j/k dont really

Maybe I'll just leave him with you....whaddya think of that????

That's a foolish dream. That would be a relationship of take.

I used to sharpen my knives when a guy came to visit or take my daughter out. I have a nice long sharpening stone that with a long drawn out stroke with a blade, gets a guys attention. Knives are so much more personal than guns. My daughter was NEVER home late without a prior call and explanation. Now, I don't have that "control".

Date til 30? I've told both kids I don't want to be a grandparent before I'm 50. I'm not too sure I'm going to make it...

Good luck!!!!

 

[Cody]

That's a foolish dream. That would be a relationship of take.

How is that take? The pair is stronger than the sum of it's parts.

I personally think any relationship based on need or fear is bad. I don't want anyone to NEED me around or keep me around for fear of being alone. That's bogus.

I want someone that has their own things in life, and chooses to be with me and vice versa. Too many people get hitched because they are afraid of being alone, or don't know how to make themselves happy without an external influence like a companion. You have to know what makes yourself happy before you can be happy with anyone else, and once you know that, you have a more grounded outlook on what sacrifices you are willing to make to be with someone without giving up who you are and what makes you happy.

I don't feel any pressure to get married, and the idea that I might never find someone doesn't frighten me in the least. Life is about experiences and sure, it's nice to share those experiences with someone you care about, but you should never let yourself become dependent upon an external influence for happiness. It comes from inside.

If that is foolish self centered ideal, then I guess I'll never get married. I'll just have to keep on being comfortable in my own skin and enjoying the **** out of life and the choices I've made.

As a happily married guy, I agree 100% with you Cody. If my wife and I weren't together any longer, both of us would be fine. Both of us are very independent but at the same time we love to be around each other. I don't think either of us have gave up who we ever were. We've matured and grown-up a bit but we both still enjoy everything we ever have.

 

[Meat_]

Cody, I used to think exactly as you do.

And I'm still not far from it.

I will NEVER be with someone just to be with someone, I too have been wrecked by every female I've ever been interested in save one.... to the point that I went 6 years without so much as a date.

I used to scoff at people who needed someone around, even if it was someone they didn't really like, just so they wouldn't be alone. I still don't understand that, but I don't judge them for it anymore.

However, I have also felt the misery of not being with someone to which I would give everything I am.

Having been the way you are for most of my life, and having felt the connection, I would choose the feeling of belonging that came before the misery.

But then I've always been a giver, who everyone sees as an asshole.

I have also seen some very happy marriages that work like Caleb's

Maybe I'll just sit down and shut up.

 

[Cody]

I've never been wrecked by any girl. I've had some bad experiences, and some good ones. I've been disapointed by pretty much all of them that I've ever been excited about, but that's just the way it goes. Doesn't mean I close my mind to the possibility, I just don't waste my time trying to find a round hole for a square peg...or a square hole for my round peg...errr nevermind

If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm not going to try to force the issue for fear of being without something.
