Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

[CurbKikker]

Years ago, I made a policy: I will not date co-workers. I will not date any women at work, and I will not pursue any women at work. I was adamantly against inter office dating. But, now my tune is: As long as I'm not courting the women, and as long as I'm not being courted by women, I'm fine with what others do. Just leave me out of it.

If you're going to pursue a co-worker, tread carefully. For me to date a co-worker, she would have to bring FIVE times as much to the table, based on the risk I would be taking.

Imagine this: You're single, but looking. You're making $100,000 a year. You enjoy your job. You're well-respected by colleagues. You get great benefits. You get other nice perks. You have a nice office by the window, with a view. You like who you work with.

Then one day, there is this attractive young woman who comes to your company. You're immediately attracted to her. Let's say that she's not interested back in you, even though she's polite about it. Or, you find out she already had a boyfriend, or even a husband.

Suddenly, you hate your job, and you hate coming to work. You feel humiliated. You're angry. You're bitter. You, the respected man, now you feel so "small. " You have egg all over your face. Your ego and paranoia leads you to believe that she, and everybody else, is laughing at you, and making fun of you.

Meanwhile, let's look at what has Not changed: You're still making $100,000 a year. You still have that nice office, great benefits, great perks. Your colleagues who you enjoy working with, are still the same (despite your own paranoia, that they are laughing at you and judging you). And, your job Duties haven't changed a bit.

Yet, because of a courtship, that ended in rejection, you went from loving your job, and looking forward to going to work every day, to hating your job and office, and even having "fits of wanting to quit. ".

I won't tell you not to court co-workers. I'm just telling you to tread carefully, think it through, and look three or four steps ahead, just in case it doesn't go your way.

It is strange when you have cash and are very willing to spend it and they keep fucking you around. I've said many times, "I"ve got cash burning a hole in my pocket. I'm ready to hand it over to you RIGHT NOW. Help me spend it on you, help me make it easy for me to give it to you". A lot of providers think they run the entire show, that we're dogs who will jump at their bidding. Our cash is what runs their show and that's just a fact but a lot of them don't like to believe that it does. I've learned to be a bit of a dick about that over the years or I'll get pulled-around.

So true. I just walked out of an apt because of her attitude and the look on her face was priceless.

Honey you don't get my money by being a B to me, though that's probably worked on more than one in the past.

This reminds me, of when one of our friends named George was dating a hot blonde busty enhanced stripper, George would complain to us that she was dragging him around by his dick. Sounds like some of these girls are doing the same. Their loss.

I know we're not supposed to feed the trolls, but every once in a while I just feel like doing some sport fishing. Watching them spiral out of control, I can almost see the foam around their mouths, or their head explode like Scanners.

After all, this is the Rant Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle thread.

I'll show myself out now.

As long as one expresses their opinion in a respectful way, and does not try to force that opinion on someone else, there is nothing wrong with making posts in response to a thread. Just as long as one keeps that in mind, all is good.

I guess if these women were functioning adults that can keep a fucking commitment then they wouldn't be taking random dicks for a living. But goddamn it shouldn't be this hard to spend my money...

This is rather interesting that you say that, Rex, because I was raised in a very Dutch family. Both sets of my grandparents on both sides were Dutch and I picked-up parts of the language from listening to them as a child. I've never formally studied and they didn't actively teach us children, but today I can generally get around in the language, though speaking and writing are weird as I often confuse the grammar. This actually helped a lot when I was in Afrikaner country while in South Africa, Afrikaans is a much simpler form of Dutch.

Interesting observation, Rex.

Street Troller is acting like Dutch

Street Troller is acting like Dutch (the biggest asshole bully of the Cobras) who when Daniel is helpless and vulnerable, comes in and knees Daniel.

Just to lighten things up, Cobra Kai Season 4 will drop on Netflix on New Years Eve. Terry Silver appears to help John Krease. Wonder if he'll go after Danial LaRusso?

[James Lindsey]

Hate to say it, but this is looking like Foghorn Leghorn antagonizing the dog, running away laughing, and the dog falling for it every time.

What you should do: For those of you who post legit rants, someone create a new forum, with a decoy name. Just don't tell him about it, and he won't figure it out.

[Camhole]

The admin asked us to report his accounts and not respond to the troll. He's escalating his rhetoric, which is an interesting psychological pattern. Just report him and ignore.

Jimmy is right. Just report and ignore.

Hopefully he takes his pathetically sad ass to some other forum.

I'm Asian, but close enough I guess LOL.

I would just like to add I knew a beautiful white lady that duo'd with a beautiful Asian, it was all I could do in my prime to stay at attention to not bore them for our 2 hour visits. We met 3 or 4 times in the 90's.

I also saw Rodman play with the Bulls in person at a court side seat. He was incredible the way he would tip a rebound several times to himself until he could fully control the ball. He was impressive on tv however in person it was mesmerizing to watch (even though I thought he was a goon and crazy). Well the ladies I knew also met Rodman once in Vegas, from their comments and our conversation Rodman wasn't only skilled on the basketball court and played a full court press when they saw him. I once asked what my "Rodman score" was, after we all stopped laughing we tried another round.

So as f'. In crazy as you are Dennis I respect your rebounding ability. Enough said, jr.
