freaking a ! 10 months ago

conversation between me and really hot guy on facebook:

^{my profile thingy said something about liking def leppard.}

hot guy: Def Leppard huh? You must be a rocker. ;)
me: yeah. (: they’re awesome. i really like the classic rock…ac/dc, van halen, warrant, aerosmith, bon jovi…that type of stuff.
hot guy: Haha mostly 80’s from the sound of it. I don’t know many girls who know about the band Warrant. I actually learned how to play cherry pie last week on guitar. ;)
me: yeah, mostly ‘80s. warrant’s pretty awesome. and that’s really cool. i wish i knew how to play guitar. i want to learn to play eruption by eddie van halen.
hot guy: Its really not as hard to play as it sounds. Haha
I love playing guitar can you tell? So whats your favorite
Def Leppard song? My guess is Photograph, Love Bites, or Armegeddon It? ;)
me: those are all really good. out of those three, i’d say love bites is my favorite. but i’d have to say that pour some sugar on me is my favorite def leppard song. (:
hot guy: It always is! Hey you wanna get a lil naughty? ;)

freaking a ! why do guys only think about one thing ? blah. i dont know what to say to him…because i dont want to be rude and not answer him…but im not gonna do anything with him. he lives in texas anyway ! help ?

Elusive Sleuth time to mix it up

Whether it’s just playing, mucking round, or just having a bit of fun, it’s proabably not a good idea to ‘get a lil naughty’.

I’d tell him straight up ‘no’. You don’t want to mislead him.

No works fine

You can follow that with Hell no, fuck no, and fuck off.

But for the time being, No works perfectly.

No problem

By my count he wrote 10 sentences in 3 comments to you before asking you if you wanted to get naughty with him. Being a little rude is OK and if that doesn’t work being really rude is OK.

^{what’s trawling mean ? :P}

Aug 18, 2008, 06:51PM PDT | Thread | Respond to this

Tink is pleased with her progress.

Trawling originally meant...

...fishing by dragging a large net behind a boat.

By extension, in online interactions, I use it to mean casting a net that’s not really targeted at an actual individual, but just hoping (via sheer numbers) to catch something – anything – in it.

I often wonder if this caveman approach ever actually works for these jerks. Do they ever get a positive reaction?

i looked it up on dictionary.com and i got what you meant. hmmm…i dunno. they never do from me…

i said:

(: i liked your response. so i stole it. sorry for being unoriginal ! he never answered back. but i’ll be sure to let you know if he does. (;

Tink is pleased with her progress.

You didn't steal it.

You accepted the gift I offered.

I’m delighted that you found it useful.

Here’s a fun song to hum whenever you’re accosted by one of these jerks (to listen to the mp3, click on the little target symbol next to Track 5, “Jerks”). Connie Kaldor is among my favourite Canadian singer-songwriters. I’ve never quite understood why she doesn’t have a more international following.

^{Some want to bug you / Some want to f….ind out what you’re really like}

Jerks (Connie Kaldor)
Jerks
With a capital “J”
“Hey hey hey, baby!”
Hey hey hey-hey-hey, hey

Well they’re always in packs
or groups of two
And like sharks in the pool
They descend on you

Chorus: Jerks…l

Well they’re standing at the corner
Just to watch you walk
Don’t meet their eyes or
They’ll plague you for blocks

Chorus: Jerks…l

Well there are jerks on construction
And jerks in trucks
Some want to bug you
Some want to fffffffffind out what you’re really like

Chorus: Jerks….

Well there are young jerks and old jerks
And jerks who like to pinch
And they’ll follow you for miles
Trying to give you an inch

Chorus: Jerks….

Well some want to talk
Some play the game
“Come on baby
Tell me your name…”

“What is it, uh, Diane? Uh, is it Louise? Hey hey, blondie, all the guys are over here! Whoa, look at the knockers…”

Chorus: Jerks….

Aug 20, 2008, 09:19AM PDT | Thread | Respond to this

mulya

Maybe as rude as saying no then

I’ll give you that rude may not be the right word, but it’s definitely annoying. I mean, it’s just irritating when a girl can’t have a conversation with a guy without it leading to “let’s be naughty.” And it was completely out of left field, too.

The impression it always gives to me when guys do that is, “Well, I’m not actually interested in anything you have to say, which is why I’m cutting off this conversation to see wheather or not you want to have sex/cyber with me.” Why initiate conversation in the first place?

Aug 20, 2008, 09:30AM PDT | Thread | Respond to this 1 cheer

Uncle Enore Christ...of the Stockton Christs.

Well, two things.

First, the reason might be so he could eventually ask her if she wanted to cyber.

And, secondly, maybe he enjoyed talking to her, thought she was interesting and cute, and THEN asked.

I mean, I don’t see what all the arm flapping is about. Men and women DO have sexual activities together, some of them even over the internet.

And he sounded friendly enough to me. He didn’t say, So, you wanna fuck, or what? I don’t see that he did anything wrong or untoward.

Nor do I think Caiti did. It sounds like she handled it just right to me. I don’t see why this is a big thing at all.

She handled it fine

I never said he should be casterated. I’m just saying the guy wasn’t very suave. Hell, some women will go for that. I’m sure he eventually found someone.

Tiisi is several people a day.

I couldn't agree with you

more, Unc. I don’t understand the big response. He asked, in a fairly restrained way, if she wanted to spice up their conversation, she had an ick! response and declined. No harm, no foul.

Aug 20, 2008, 05:08PM PDT | Thread | Respond to this

Right, Ti. - Uncle Enore Christ...of the Stockton Christs.

mulya

Let me correct

There’s nothing wrong with a conversation that leads to fooling around… but initiating it in the middle of a conversation that does not appear to be leading to anything of the sort is brash, and implies to most women that they aren’t interesting enough to actually speak to.

So it’s kind of like saying, “What are you talking? Hey, a talking vagina!”

Uncle Enore Christ...of the Stockton Christs.

LOL! Ah, now you've done it.

Shelly made this for me a year ago or more, and I’ve never had a chance to use it…but your mention of a talking vagina could not have been better.

Thanks, Mul!!

Holy crap!

Why don’t all you people just calm down a bit? Shit, the guy did NOTHING wrong. Caiti’s cute, they were talking, he came on to her a little bit.

What the hell is wrong with that?

And he wasn’t the least bit rude, for Christ’s sake.

All you people act like you’ve never heard of sex before, or attraction or flirting, or giving it a shot…

Jesus, fucking relax. No one put a gun to The Caitrix’s head.

I assume you’re still alive and well, Caiti? See? Nothing happened because the big bad man thought you were cute and interesting and might like to mess around a little bit.

I’ve been using the internet since I was 16 or 17. Back then we just had chat rooms…in the olden days…

really, that is why most men are interested in connecting over the internet. Even now, I get messages and dumb friend requests from retards who are looking to hookup.

I’ve met a lot of people that I initiated a connection with online. every single one has been sexual in some way. I would say this website is the exception where people…except for gross, fucking retard, Jimmy, have only been interested in connecting on a humane, intellectual level.

I even lost my virginity to some schmuck I met online.

Just be careful, because the odds are not in your favor out in the internet pond.
