deathknight1728: Im not going to lie that women are a bit confusing sometimes, but i will never allow that to make me consider them all to be whores. I find women to make more sense than guys.

PeterFazekas: Well that was pretty lame, whether you were trying to oppose the other guy or just to say something nice. For one thing, how did you make the connection between confusing and whores?
KingofGnG's post didn't really need a reply, IMO. It was just a bit of juvenile joking (no offense dude), and not meant to be taken seriously.

As for the deathknight1728's reply -- I don't think he was making a connection. He simply said that, even though women confuse him, he'd never allow that confusion to make him think bad of them or insult them.

Sogi-Ya: watch CMT. <snip>
LOL! i loved this post :)))) that would be country music television??? if so next time someone goes all emo to me due to the opposite sex i might use country songs as a last resort :)))

obsession is best healed with another obsession :) but don't make it another female :P
technically you just need to get busy enough with something so that you don't have time to think about it. works like a dream.

i envy you people who are incapable of falling in love. i'm not religious but i always pray in the back of my mind that my hormones don't take over XD i find it to be such a useless (though yes nice) state and something that only distracts your mind from more important things.

on a different note, since it's related, does anyone have an idea how to knock some sense into an overly clingy and emotional person who is "powerless because in love" with a person who is seriously psychologically abusing them? brainwashing is not working.

btw http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/03/28/burn.heartbreak.same.to.brain/index.html
and the original article

btw2 just for the record, the "i don't care attitude" works wonders in exactly the same way with both boys and girls. the trick is to learn to balance the caring and not caring attitude. it is tiresome though, unless you enjoy playing psychological games all the time. i know some people who do, and boy does it work.

Superman is overrated. It's better to be like He-Man -- he's so much of a man that it's part of his name. Twice. And both with capitals.

Yes, but it's a lot harder to get by on tights and a BDSM vest in everyday life. Spandex, just say you're coming from the pool.

deathknight1728: I am obsessing over this girl that turned me down 2 months ago. I cant stop thinking about her even though she did turn me down as she was really cool. Its really pretty friggin lame as it hurts physically as well as emotionally. Can anyone recommend a way to gain apathy, as in not caring at all?

I sometimes wish i could be apathetic like Artemis Entreri, then i wouldnt worry about about a thing. Any advice?
I was in a similar situation once. I used to obsess over gaining apathy, but now I just don't give a fuck.

The ladies have a saying: The best way to get over a man is to get under another one. I think this also applies the other way around.

You mean that the ladies also say the best way to over a man is to get under a woman? I approve.

kentomatic: I think that apathy comes naturally with nihilism: that is, if you believe that life truly is pointless you'll start to treat it as such (pretty much hedonism), and then that feeling will grow and you'll just stop caring about trivial things (and, really, everything becomes trivial with this state of mind).
I disagree. You can also come up with the philosophy that if life is devoid of inherent meaning, you can make your own.

As Oscar Wilde once wrote, "Women aren't meant to be understanding, they are meant to be love."

That's my main mistake when I was with this girl for 6 years because I spent the whole time and efforts to understand my ex-girlfriend. Sure, I do love her but I was too busy being Mr. Nice Guy to her and devote to her most of the times.

Ultimately, it backfired on me. Luckily, I had some experience regarding this situation so I was able to bounce from this with relatively ease, even if it's one of the most painful and arduous situations I've ever been in.

Flash forward a year later, I spent much of my time with folks from cosplay community and I was able to meet lot of interesting people.

I remember this mysterious girl whose is fantastic cosplayer and she's very charismatic person. One thing that stands out for me is that everybody was pursuing her relentless because they really want her so badly, whereas I just stand on the sideline and laugh at whole thing while focusing on my own thing.

I made a zero effort to win her over so I opted to concentrate on other things. Suddenly, she IMed me on Facebook to talk to me. Before that, we very rarely talk to each other. Mostly, it would be update each other on cosplay events but never serious conversation.

9 months after I met her for the first time, we end up having solid and serious conversation together. She confided few stuff to me and she told me that she really trust me a lot, not only as a coslayer but as a person as well.

I ended up doing a lot of stuff with her this year, i.e. going to anime cons, hang out at each other's house, watching movies, debating about Doctor Who and Star Trek, and working on cosplays together. This is pretty rare privilege since she very seldom let anyone enter in her life and I'm very honored about that. It's unfortunate that some people are resenting me because I'm pretty good friend with her.

However, I know where I stand in this friendship so I'm perfectly content to be her friend since we lacked that certain chemistry.

My, I think I'm rambling a lot. But I think my action with this mysterious girl will show you that women can be bit complicated but it doesn't have to be that way. Just remember the Oscar Wilde's quote and you should be fine. I made zero efforts to understanding this girl and I'm doing just fine. :)

Rohan15: -Force a Blue Screen of Death and spend hours repairing it.
LOL =D

I do that and masturbate. And play games.

Edit: Indeed time will heal. Well.. not all things. But yes, I was too with a girl long time ago, well we separated mutually mostly. It still took a while to get over it. I could have done things better but that's in the past. At this time I don't even try to do anything with the ladies. I'm on depressionmedication (to get my head fixed). And a while ago I changed my pills because I didn't mostly feel anything.
It's not so great.

First off, you should be verry verrry sorry, now my eyeballs hurt from all that reading! Just kidding.....Second as a firm Star Trek watcher, I feel since you broached the topic we should know where you stand on the whole, which is the best series question. I don't know about everyone else, but, that is the whole reason I checked out this thread lol ;-p
