I need some cheering up

[Kaneda]

Thanks for the kind words, sirs.

You are all indeed right, there will be others and I shouldn't worry too much. It just bothers me a bit that even though I'm "a very very cool guy" and I "did everything right", I'm still not good enough to compete with her ex, who had a run-in with the law and moved to Montana for a period; a fellow she's already broken up with twice.

James- You must have some experience with this. Her exact words were "I never meant to hurt you". I shall avoid the 'experimenters' from now on, I suppose...

MKUltra2000- Yeah, she is a wild, "freaky" chick, but I kind of liked that. I'm such a quiet guy, it was an interesting combo.

Oh, well. Maybe my comics will be unfunny and shitty now...

Don't sweat it Kaneda, time heals all wounds. You're down but not out, right? I know what its like to feel shut down, its not a good feeling, but you do get over it soon enough. And don't forget, she's the one who made the choices she did, not you, so you're only hurting your own head thinking about what you could've done about it to make the outcome different, because the outcome would've likely been the same no matter what direction you took. Stay Cres, man.

*gag* when Kaneda told me he started this thread I almost shit myself, I was thinking "well, let the reaming commence" but then he assured me that all the responces so far had been more then encouraging so I decided to respond as well. When it's come to the boards I've been pretty quiet and kept to myself, hell I've been around for the last two "crashings" and I have yet to crack 70 posts...but anyway, basicly I've had to "deal" with this girl boffing the girl that I'm head-over-heels for AND my best friend in a non-chalant manor...and then when I get home today and hear that she decides to bust it off with him over MSN I fucking snaped..."Hi Kaneda...I'm dumping you for my Ex-ex-boyfriend, better luck next time slugger". As "relieved" as I am that at least THIS much has ended I'm still worried about this "situation" that I managed to drag my best friend into...it's still looking like it's going to get worse before it gets better.

'eeeeey, i know what'll cheer the both a y'as up...a nice game of DUAL MONSTA'S of course!

as you get older the chicks get less "freaky". you'll find a nice, sane, level headed girl sooner or later.

You mean you didn't take pictures to later blackmail (or blackmale, something like that) these bitches? for shame.......

I'm trying to think of some sage advice, but the only thing that keeps coming up is "At least you got some nooky", so disregard that. There will always be others; take it as a learning experience and use it as a way not to make the same mistake twice.

• Easier said than done, but don't take it personally. Women, especially at that age, aren't quite as mature and caring as they like to pretend; they're human too. For every guy who's "such a total asshole," there's a woman who's his equivalent. The only problem is that as guys we're supposed to not be bothered by these things and act all stoic. Even worse, we're supposed to be James Bond, and rejection is a sign of weakness. Not so.
  
• Look at yourself honestly. Ask yourself what you could do to improve yourself. Here's a hint: for all their talk about wanting a "nice guy" and how they look at guys "on the inside", they're sexual creatures as well, who are motivated as much by the desire for admiration from their friends and acceptance from their parents (or rebellion against their parents, depending on their maturity) as they are by who they may get along with best. Money, personal style, your body, looks, smile, your car, your future, these things all matter a great deal, whether they may seem "shallow" or not. But be fair - you want her to look nice, have a killer body and be sweet all (or at least most of) the time too, right?
  
• They want a guy who can make them howl, which is why they'll often go off with the wrong guy - they may think they can "save" him. They're wrong, and they'll eventually figure that out - you can't change people. They only change if they want to, deep down. Meaning that if a woman acts like a jerk, you're probably better off not bothering with them and finding someone real. That's not always easy, you can get stuck on someone, but remember, people are the way they are for a reason.
  
• Confidence. You can't fake it, so saying "be confident" is alot easier said than done. That's not important, you need it anyway, and not just for women; confidence affects your whole life. Women can smell insecurity a mile away, but confidence is irresistable.
  
• There are caring, quality, classy, deep women out there. They're not easy to find, quite frankly, because the law of averages regarding people generally being idiots applies just as well to women as it does men. But that doesn't mean you won't eventually run into one who likes you; opposites don't actually attract, people with things in common do. If you're a worthwhile person, you'll be rewarded. Don't be confused by assholes scoring trophy wives.
  It's not actually rocket science, although it may seem that way at times. And another thing - those chicks are seriously fucked. The world is full of beautiful women, many of whom are sane. Ditch the bitch and find one of them. University's a pretty good place to do so.

What's so bad about the experimenters? Some of my best, uh, 'encounters" have come from the ones that are curious. Sometimes being black has its advantages :jest:

At least you're not LucasBarton. He's my daily affirmation. When things look down, always remember that you are not him. Happy times then come afterward.
