The OP couldn't catch pussy if it were raining cats, and your strategy is that he should try getting paid for it? :pac:

Literary gems like these are the reason I follow a thread like this, despite the fact the threads likely to go nowhere and the OP will start another one next week demonstrating further evidence of their lack of self-awareness.

Does one usually require a partner, traditionally of the opposite sex, for yoga?

Do this require they make advances to their dance partner too? "I need someone to take the lead in this samba - btw, what are you doing Thursday evening?"

Your post was basically "But women make unwanted advances too!" which no-one was, or would, dispute.

No, but casually omitted by you in your first post, before going on to continue harping on about what dreadful predators men are, in response to a post where the opposite was true. Spare me.

Eh no, we wouldn't. Particularly since that remark that he doesn't give a damn about women on boards!!

i always knew there was a whiff of meaness from that forum.

I like the Op and his posts. i admire that he isn't afraid to discuss real matters here not like most who like to portray they have a casual coolness about themselves with the opposite sex when in real life (from what i observe) most people don't.

I also admire the OP cos I have some friends who were never that successful with women - now in our mid 30's they sit at home ,smoke weed and play the PS4 - noble pursuits don't get me wrong but not at the expense of dating women. So I admire the fact he is getting out there when a lot of others wallow at home.

sure his attitide can grate some people esp with his frank observations. But you know his experience is as valid as everybody else and I find it interesting to read.
He has without doubt failings but who doesn't?

some people are too harsh here and others as just mean and want to kick somebody (anybody)

A budding bromance, that's beautiful. Maybe you 2 boys can take dance classes and stalk women at yoga classes together.

Are you jealous?

StormWarrior

There are supposedly some single women over 40 who are desperate for kids. Maybe, if the OP isn't having any luck getting his leg over any other way, he could advertise himself as a free sperm donor? Obviously get them to sign a contract first saying he won't be responsible for the child's upkeep.

I'd be jelly if I didn't have a bro to stalk women at yoga classes with.

My wife doesn't allow me to go stalking anymore, more nostalgic then jealous.

That's all well and good but he's also openly admitted to hating women and has shown contempt for female posters again and again on here - can't say I find any of that admirable. I don't think anyone is taking this post in isolation either.

Edit: I do agree some posts went too far though.

I don't believe that I have done so at all. Please point out some examples of me 'harping on about what dreadful predators men are' so that I can address any points of confusion.

OP, just go up to a woman you fancy, take off your hat, bow and say, "Madam, may I compliment you on your beautiful perfume. It smells like fresh fish on a hot summer's day."

Frank observations?

I presume you had/have a Grandmother, mother, and possibly a sister.
Are they stuck up ice queens?
Ask the OP what he thinks.

In fairness, I'm not long out of a relationship and finding it hard to connect with women in a way that is romantic. I've had a few dates and either they weren't into me that way or vice versa. Im actually looking for a woman for a long term relationship.

Of course people here abuse me and bully me..saying I'm probably ugly, I only want sex, and so on..This is quite normal though here as people like to act the know it all. In ireland this kind off bullying is normal too.

Just because my opinions and experiences are different, it doesn't make me evil or less of a human. It doesnt suprise that so many people in ireland are taking their own lives.

StormWarrior

Well maybe you need to stop looking and trying to force the issue. Just let it happen naturally.

It's hilarious the ire you've drawn for saying you don't want ice queens or ugly feminists. Women have very frail egos

I did, so I'm not wasting my time going down this rabbit-hole. I'm heartened by your capacity to tolerate men in some classes, BTW.

While I'd agree that the OP came out with some daft rubbish, he's not been the only one doing so in this thread and attacking the second poster, childishly by some posters, is a bit OTT.

StormWarrior

btw you know this is after hours, right, not personal issues? What kind of a response would you expect here?

He's said a lot more than that in his time. As I said, people aren't taking his post in isolation.

I don't know, where does it say that you have the right to be abused in AH?

StormWarrior

Why don't you post this in personal issues? People are not allowed to be mean to the OP there.

nice comment, are you always so abrasive?

perhaps I could but i never took to yoga and I don't need to pay a fee to stalk women - the streets of dublin provide enough glorious sights for me.

However my missus mighn't be too keen on "I'm going on the pull with lufties, see you monday" line.
but you never know.

People are not allowed be mean in here either but the likelihood of getting genuine, serious advice in PI is higher.

By the sounds of the O.P. he'd try to chat up a woman in any circumstances, how about a gay club or an operating room, bomb defusel expert???

I wouldn't smile at bikram yoga either. Sounds like hell. Isn't that the heated one?

That comment is as perplexing as the movie* you associate with.

Bikram yoga is amazing I love it. Jesus I wouldn't smile during it. I mean after or before when you key in at reception, I have smiled like a simple salute and I get a cold expression usually.

There's a hell of a difference between someone who takes their own life, and someone who just comes off like a drama queen. To even equate the two on the same spectrum shows the annoying lack of perspective on your part that tends to rub people up the wrong way. Tbh, half the time I think you just post these kind of threads looking to be abused and rub people up the wrong way.

You claim you're intelligent, I'd love to understand who you're measuring yourself up against, because your posts certainly don't allude to intelligence of any description.
