A good friend told me yesterday, "On paper, you look pretty bad ass." So in real life, I suck?
Ugh. People need to think about what comes out their mouths a little better. If it makes you feel better I once got broken up with by a girl who told me I was a good idea.
GL - getting dumped always sucks (I got a super harsh dumping in early November so I know...) but give the girl a little credit. At least she didn't take the chicken shyt way out.
Bon - what was the context? I could see this as being a compliment in the right conversation

Why is that a bad thing? That's nice. I've been told that I was a "bad idea," and while she was right, it still wasn't very sweet of her to say.
I think it was the context of it. Like I was an idea she had that I didn't live up to.
I also didn't know how strange she was, at the time. A week after dumping me she came crying to me about a guy that threw up on her while he was bopping her.

We were at happy hour at a Thai restaurant. When he said that, I asked what he meant and if I suck in real life. His answer was that since we arrived the following statements were said: I had talked about how I order everything, "Super super Thai spicy" and still have to order extra peppers on the side in order for it to have a good kick and how none of the drinks on the menu looked good to me, because I usually drink my vodka on the rocks. He never referenced the second part of the question.
I don't think he meant it in a mean way, and I see what he is saying, but it does have a negative connotation like GL was saying. His story and mine are similar... they were said with good intentions, and there is a good part of them, but they both offer a second unsaid statement..
All that being said, I am not bad ass at all, so he is right. I can't even kill an ant. I rarely get angry. I have trouble sticking up for myself. I don't swear. I only had one detention (for three tardies) in high school... Not a bad ass.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Sometimes I have to break things off with women that get attached or start getting thoughts of a relationship in their head. Some of them are really great people! It really sucks when they ask questions like that (suck in real life) because the answer is obviously no, but if I answer that question, they start asking 'why' questions and then it turns into me being an asshole.
Prime example. I was dating this knockout. She worked in a high position for a bank. No kids, no strings, beautiful, smart, successful, sexy, everything was in place. 'on paper' she was a great catch. Unfortunately, there was no vibe/chemistry for me. She, on the other hand was starting to fall into me and really want to dig her hooks in. So I broke it off. Told her that she is amazing in so many ways etc etc. She asked what ways she wasnt amazing or something like that. I gave my best no-answer answer and we ended up in the why game for an hour and a half and she slunk away bummed. See, we could have been having break up sex instead. So now I don't answer those questions, we have some semi-angry break up sex and call it a day.
Bottom line is, there is nothing wrong with either of you - its just - whoever it was just was not all that into you for whatever reason. Doesn't matter what the reason. So long, NEXT!

Well, apparently I was badassed enough for the both of us:
1. I got suspended once in high school for 3 days; parents never knew because I told 'em we had teacher in-service.
2. I forged my parents' signature on every detention slip I ever got; just told them I had soccer practice or yearbook meeting...they never caught on.
3. I put a 5-lb bag of sugar & a Diet Coke down my dad's gas tank because he pissed me off. (That's what he got for "grounding" a teenager who owns their own car... I mean, really?!?)
4. I caught a (now-ex)boyfriend cheating on me; confronted him, dumped him, and got all my stuff back the same night.
5. I confronted the frat-tastic diickhead (whose idea of a first date included sexually assaulting me once he got me liquored up enough to pass out; I woke up to see his entire fraternity looking thru the window) and demanded an explanation & apology; I got both. (In hindsight, I should've pressed charges, but hey...live & learn, right?)
All those things required some amount of badassery. You've got it - trust me, every woman does! Sometimes it just lies dormant until you tap into it. Killing bugs doesn't necessarily make you badass; taking control of a situation and/or turning the tables around so that a situation works FOR you and not AGAINST you is what does it.
Developing your badassery (I think I like that term!) starts with learning to say NO. "No, this isn't what I ordered" or "No, I will NOT come in on Saturday to work on that TPS report."
Start with putting your foot down for whatever is important. It's like exercising: one set of crunches won't produce washboard abs, but continued effort will. Give it time, sweetie...you'll surprise yourself with just how badass you can be. Or just come down for a visit: we'll do some badass stuff together! Practice makes perfect!!! Love ya, doll!

Holy shlt Hollie, I can't believe you did that to your dad's car!! You had BALLS.
That's nutso!
Oh, and I forgot *THE* ballsiest thing I ever did: when my boss tried to fire me & another person (her son, no less!), I rejected it. Yep, just looked at her and said, "No, you can't run this place without us." Then I went back to work while she just stood there looking befuddled. (She sold the business a few days later, so we both lost our jobs anyway...but the employees thought I was ballsy for standing up to her.)

There's no way Nashville is #4 on that list. If it is, then the rest of the US is completely effed up... I haven't encountered a sensitive man in this town in the 29 years I've lived here.

Sensitive and mild mannered do not get you girls...at least in my reality. LOL

Is that why you left the state? Come baaaaack! Let us prove you wrong! 'Cause it definitely works on most of us...just sayin'.

Well, I certainly did not have to leave Knoxville, but that was not the biggest reason. If I would have had something to keep me there I would have. Kinda miss Knoxville, but I think that is mostly because I lived there for so long and have a lot of friends there. Starting over in a new place is exciting, but can be lonely until you are there long enough to establish a good friend base. (quality over quantity of course) :-)

I keep looking for a good single man for you Julie. Every time we have a batch of new hires I am all over finding out who is single
On a totally unrelated subject, my hubby has an interview with a well known sound company on Tuesday for a full time position (with benefits) in Nashville. There will be some travel, but not enough to cause issues I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
haha, thanks dreamingtree! I am quite picky so I know that is part of my problem. The other part is that I can't find a dude that is willing to put up with my BS for extended periods of time
And I'm having a shit-tastic day. I hope everyone's days are going better than mine.

Awww hope your day gets better. Mine is ok because the bosses are out of town..... Not much work getting done around here, but I would still rather be home playing Star Wars......
