Journal TechnoLust's Journal: Reading my old JEs... 17

Journal by TechnoLust
I've been perusing my old JEs today. 2004, at least the last 3 quarters, pretty much sucked ass. 2005 has been nothing spectacular, but it hasn't even been a week yet. So, I'm thinking 2003 holds the title for best year of my life so far. I was reading some 2003 JEs just to see what all happened that year, and make sure it didn't suck as well, before giving it that title. I finished my kitchen in 2003, went out with some beautiful girls in 2003, and the time with Boo didn't turn bad until March 2004, so time with her was good. Big Daddy died, and so did Otter, so that was bad, but other than that it was a good year.

I ran across this comment in one of the journals. I liked the part where he said, "either that's what they want, or they are all liars." Well, I'm leaning toward the latter, unfortunately. Well, I don't really believe that or I'd stop dating. I think MOST women around here [here as in TN, not slashdot] are liars, but surely there are some that will be honest, right? RIGHT?

Last night, Heather SMS'd me about 11pm asking if I wanted to go to Gordo's. I told her I couldn't, I had to work today, but playfully suggested she stop by on her way so we could make out. She didn't respond. I wasn't worried about it, if she can't take a joke, piss on her. About 11:45 I finished playing on the computer and went to bed. About 12:30, I woke up when I heard a noise. It was someone knocking at the door. I know it was Heather, but by the time I was coherent enough to figure that out, I saw the headlights of her car come on and she drove away. I could have called her cell phone, but I was tired, so I just went back to sleep. I must be getting old, because normally I would have stayed up late to make out with her. Stupid age. Oh well, I'll call her tonight. Maybe she can come over since I don't have to work tomorrow. Ooh... tomorrow I'm going to get my massage and eat sushi with my sister and her cute friend. :-)

  • I've found that it's an age thing. Women do not become actually truthfull about what they want until after age 25 or so when the biological clock starts reminding them that if they're EVER going to have children, they'd better do it soon.

    Come to think of it men are the same way.
  • you're smart, sensitive, and funny. either that's what women want or they're all liars

    What women want is what they perceive as smart, sensitive, funny, whatever. What you think of yourself, what others think of you, doesn't count. Meaning a certain woman you want may want a guy who's smart, sensitive, funny, whatever, and you may think you're smart, sensitive, funny, whatever, and your friends think you're smart, sensitve, funny, whatever, but that woman may find you stupid, insensitive, unfunny, etc.

    • Women want strength. They want someone who is strong and sure of themselves, and not afraid to go after the things they want (most notably, the woman in question).

      Is this an over simplification? Certainly. But there is more than a kernel of truth here. This goes right down to the collective unconscious of what a "man" is perceived to be. Does that mean Women can't be strong? Of course not.

      So I would amend your last sentence; be honest, but be strong. ;)
    • To add to what tuxette said, very few people know exactly what they want. We may define it by some term, but even that is not always clear. I know I prefer guys I can't walk all over, but at the same time a guy who is too rigid or macho doesn't appeal to me. When I say I want a guy who can stand up for himself, I get guys who think that means I want to be walked all over. If I say I want someone willing to compromise, I get guys who think I like wimps. Sheesh.

      Even though "smart, sensitive, and funny"
      • very few people know exactly what they want

        I tend to be wary of these kinds of people. Knowing exactly what you want can imply a neurotic need to fit everything into this "perfect picture" of what is wanted, as well as lack of flexibility.

        People change, situations change, and you have to be prepared for this. People who have one set rigid plan are poorly equipped to deal with changes.

        I tend to be more sure of what I don't want. The deal breakers. This is something that has remained constant over the y

        • Makes complete sense. Hence my comment that a cigarette equates to complete lack of interest. Ditto for a married guy or even one who is separated ... I wouldn't touch a guy in any sort of relationship that hasn't been totally closed. As far as wants go, I can't even clearly define what I want except by ruling out what I don't want.
  • or at least, i recognize it.

    hope you like this year better when it's all done. in my experience, both my own and my observations of others, the mid to late twenties pretty much always have a period of suck, but things do get better after a bit.

    Wait... I missed something... I didn't know Big Daddy, but Otter died? How? When?
