Chat Thread 40: What in the world is JeffCvt's other name?

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 3:41 pm

Can't say I dislike them, I really like their songs, I'm just getting tired of them due to over-listening in the past couple of years.
So, speaking of British singers of that time... Petula Clark? Anyone?

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:44 pm

I have a bunch of Beatles music on my ipod, but none that I regularly listen to. I only have ~75 songs on my favorites playlist (Which is the one I default to 90% of the time) and another 15 songs not on that playlist that I listen to often, but don't put on it.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 6:08 pm

I need to put some Beatles on my ipod. I was a pretty terrible music fan before I got to college so I never really ended up purchasing/downloading any of their music.

Let's take music discussion to the music thread, please.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 11:30 pm

Thanks, I felt forced out by my lack of knowledge into the Beatles...

If you ever feel left out, introduce a new topic to which you can contribute. That's how we do thing here ^_^

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 2:16 am

Yeah totally. The whole point of this thread is so that it can go just about anywhere as long as it doesn't turn into a topic we have a thread for for too long.

Or role-playing. It used to be bad about that.

That's nothing compared to what things were. It's not role playing so much as this thread turning entirely into directionless role playing.

And Housefox asking Sonic id Furreh out. ;P

Great, so the Housepets Forum is also an online dating site now?

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:23 pm

Or The Dating Game: Housepets edition. Which would totally kill law and order in the ratings department.

If only because it sounds like getting pets a date...which sounds awesome and really weird at the same time.

And you guys complained about it?!?

It was for science!

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 2:50 pm

You can get away with anything if you shout "For Science!" right before you do it. No one will question science.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 3:00 pm

But it really was science! knowing whose power levels and compatabilities is an important part of science!

That, and conga lines.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 3:17 pm

conga lines are pretty much the final frontier.

Most of the senior members have dated at least one person from the forum. It's bound to happen when we all spend so much time together.

I gotta say, my pickin's are pretty good what with this skewed gender ratio. *kicks back feet in chair*

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 8:35 pm

Well I dunno about good but your pickins are at least pretty varied. : p

True Seth, true. Some people just aren't ready for a relationship.

Also long-distance relationships are great, but humans are meant to interact personally, not solely through technology. After being on both sides of the table, I feel like I can at least have an opinion on that without being considered ignorant.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 9:53 pm

Too bad. 'Cause I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for you getting a boyfriend here.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:06 pm

I have a hard time getting a girlfriend ANYWHERE... closest I've come is this person I've met on Minecraft, and even then I was pretty sure she wasn't who she said she was.

I know too much about the world...

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:12 pm

I've never had a significant other. Have I been in love triangles, I'm pretty sure I have. But I've never had a girlfriend. Too much work.

I could rattle off a few that have had a crush on me, but I'm not that kind of girl.

Yeah but you're right. It wasn't that hard for me to get a boyfriend here, even if it was quite a while ago.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:22 pm

To be honest, I agree. Women seem to be much less accepting of a man's quirks; getting a girlfriend is like getting a job. If you're not their version of perfect, you're not getting hired. Same goes the other way around, I suppose.

Post by **Obbl** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:29 pm

Though, to be honest, if you're looking for your life mate, I should hope you'd be at least a bit picky.

Though I suppose it's more important what you're picky about in the long run.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:43 pm

Exactly. Wouldn't want to marry the prettiest only to find that she's a total "charming young woman".

Guys, hello, there's a chick standing right here. I'd appreciate it if you guys would step off the girl-hate and didn't group all females into some terrible category because it hasn't been rainbows and butterflies in the romance department. Y'all don't see me making statements that generalize all beings with a Y chromosome as idiots with ridiculously high standards.

And so I direct you guys to a Jenna Marbles video, with some swearing and slight suggestive themes as a warning, but the rest of the content is abolutely perfect, and it's called "Nice Guys Do Not Finish Last." Guys, we love you, but a bitter personality is an unattractive turn-off.

@Obbl- I agree with you, it's okay to be picky.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:58 pm

I have mixed emotions about the whole dating thing anyway. It seems like the ones I've seen either fall into the "complete waste of time and a drain on both people involved" or "Oh my god you guys are so cute I want that" catergories. My limited romantic experience hasn't been super-great but I'm not exactly a cynic either and do tend to buy into the "there's a match for everyone somewhere" mentality.

I hope you didn't get the wrong message when I said that.

I didn't mean it in a "all girls are way too picky and high maintenance" kind of way. They're not. I have several friends who prove that wrong. I just don't have the time for a relationship in the kind of way that I'd like to have one.

I know right? I can't log onto facebook or twitter without seeing guys complaining about the friend zone or how hard it is to be a nice guy. It amazes me none of them ever go either "she's not into me" or "she's not worth it".

Duster · Post by **Duster** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:05 pm

Personally, I'm scared of girls, and without psychic powers i'm afraid that won't change without a good kick to the pants.

Not all girls mind you, just the ones that I umm..... I kinda like.

Oh god, did I really imply/state that? Well, that confirms that I'm a total idiot. I'm REALLY sorry for that, I don't hate girls. I just feel angry about the high expectations of... well, life in general right now, and I guess it trickled down and I said something I don't mean. Again, I'm really sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean it.

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:53 pm

There's definitely a lot of implied sexism in Western society. It's super-unfortunate. Let's be sure to tread gingerly, lest we accidentally hurt someone.

Also, girls are icky.

(Girls are also amazing.)

Pah, I've been using green text forever.
Even on sites that frown on you using text colors. Those are fun. The BSCB forums are like that, if I recall correctly.
