because I got stung by a fly last night!

Flies don't sting me, because somehow I'm not very tasty. So when there's a man next to me in bed, he gets all the flies all over him.

However, last night there was this horrible fly who dared to sting me!

I guess it's time to get somebody in my bed to catch the flies.

So, what's the best purpose of a partner to you?

stuff it ~ i'm better off alone

I had to click on this thread because for some reason it reminded me of vainandy... although I think he listed his remedy to a situation like this as you walking into a room full of men and simply shouting,

"I want some D**K!"

...then hopefully, problem solved.

For me need and desire and two different things, and I don't think I've ever been at a point in my life when I thought I need a man, but that it's certainly nice to have one around . At this stage of life I'm not into having one around for the sake of having one around (old, crinkly and married now ), I enjoy having a right hand by my side and team mate to share interests, life goals and philosophies. It's great to have someone you're on the same page with and a soldier with which to conquer goals, make plans, create memories and generally build a productive, meaningful life together.

@ this thread!

But black flies and horse flies bite, taking huge chunks out of you!

You're right, but she lives in Amsterdam and I've never come across those.

Just remember - the cool guys don't look for chicks online!

Aside from swatting flies..and among other things

Taking out the garbage.(still trying to train a dog to do that )

Helping in washing and/or loading the dishwasher (or just helping you around the house)

Answering the telephone at night (and if he's reallllly good you can't even hear the telephone )

Holding you whenever you're afraid. A comforting being you can hold on to and not have to hide your emotions from.

As of now, I'm holding up without one.

To shut their trap and open their flap.

Don't listen to her, Jess. I read somewhere she can't even get her own shit worked out!

Exactly! Well, at least "Exactly!" in the sense that the cool guys are out in the real world, meeting real people.

Sometimes at bars, sometimes at church, sometimes in the grocery store, but almost always in the real world!

Jess has said here that she met her fiancé online.

Clearly she is engaged to a loser who does not live in the "real world".

Hah. And they met on a dating site so he was definitely 'looking for chicks'.

Yeah, people that meet online keep it online and NEVER meet each other in the real world They live through the computer forever!!

That's great! I'm really happy for her!

But I've read somewhere that no one should listen to Erin, because she can't even get her own shit worked out. Have you seen that, too?

And I was looking for dudes!

I hear that's Facebook's business model!

But let's take a step back. My advice that cool guys don't look for chicks online was given to Flyorra, who was distraught because every guy she met online ultimately showed her his junk, and then told her she was ugly.

So, faced with those facts, which is the better advice:

1. Keep going online, honey! One of these years, you're sure to find that one needle in a haystack that won't flash his package at you and make fun of you!

OR

2. Ditch those losers and meet people in real life.

Personally, I think #2 was better advice for Flyorra, and that's why I gave it.

P.S.: Whether you agree with me or not, I'm told you should not listen to Erin. Apparently, she can't even get her own shit worked out, or so I've heard.

Oh, I agree that maybe meeting people in person may work out better for her. I just don't like the generalization about the people who you may find online. Just like in the real world, you will encounter all types of people. There are pervs and awkward people and also completely normal people that are just looking for another way to meet new folks that they may not ever meet on their own otherwise.

and yet, right here at the ORG, we have at least two couples who met through this website and eventually got married. so there goes that theory
