It's far from enough by itself, plus my humor is dark and antisocial.

There are no antisocial girls in Lebanon that enjoy dark humor from intelectual men? How do you know this?


Those surely have joined some local terrorist group.

Joke with them if you can.

Let me reframe the question. When you went on these OKC dates with these girls, did they know they were going on a date with a darkly humerous athiest intellectual?


Well, my profile showed I am atheist at time and later just 'blank', I have my reasons to not promote my atheism in public. , and it's darkly humor and all interests are shown. All have assumed I am nonreligious of some sort.

You could change your profile name to Hez-baller , do a gangster pose and put your tagline as "I have an explosive personality. Meeting me is a once in a lifetime experience."



Hyperbole is hyperbole.

I hate hyperboles. :P Yet I do have hyper balls, wait...that didn't sound so right.

Well, how's this, my escaped-from-the-Aliens-movie-props-department friend:

If your profile said:
Religion:
with that blank space, then couldn't one conclude that there's reference to an actual space there, therefore you are a scientologist
--or--
A true space is a vacumn, so you worship a flying vacumncleaner (as in Spaceballs)

Yeah, that must be it.

Did I pass the test?

@ Schneekugel I am jealous! I dream of meeting someone who I could feel that relaxed around. They don't even have to be a partner, friendship would do. Mostly I find myself feeling utterly uncomfortable almost all the time, the more 'consciousnesses' around, the more uncomfortable I feel.

There were two times in my life when I felt really something approaching true comfort - in a middle of African wilderness and up in the air in a two seater plane. Both times it was the presence of the other person that ruined the perfection.

Can it happen for me? Is it really possible?


TUNE IN TO NEXT WEEK'S EXCITING EPISODE TO FIND OUT! :cat:

I think it could be - it depends what you tune into, and not tune into. You can also pick up on someone's calm and send it back to them again. If they do the same, guess what happens - a rather peaceful loop. And then you can anchor it to each other, so even the thought of that person could induce calm.

But it really helps if you can feel strong calm in yourself, and make this more powerful than any external you might pick up on.


I'm calm

Maybe it's because the type of women that I'm interested in expect equal quality men.

Why should a woman that works respect a man who doesn't have a job? I don't have a job right now. Soon I will. And soon I will try dating again, but right now I don't feel like dating women on disability or the types of women that like men that are on disability.


Maybe she respects him for his morals, or his kindness to animals, or any of dozens of reasons why someone might deserve respect. You're being rather hard on yourself here.


Ok, Lost.

Just for you, I went around and asked the girls I knew who were dating guys without jobs why they are dating them. What they believe the guys in question have that brings value, and what they respect about them.

1) One of the first things one mentioned was that even when he was studying, and even when he had no job, he would still find a way to scrape enough money together to send to his mother and his little sister every month. Even when on occasions that meant not eating meat for a month or longer just to be able to do that. She respects and admires him for loving and for trying to take care of his family even though he can't be there with them, even when his own situation is hard and he has to sacrifice to do it. Especially considering he is only 21 and most guys are more likely to live off their mothers at that age than send them money.

2) One of the girls already has a son from another man, and he is exceptionally good with her son. He has an amazing way of relating to kids in general (before that, he was with an older women who had 3 and got along equally as well with them). He is a very good father and is extremely involved on a day to day level with him. She went so far as to say that hanging out with both of them is actually enjoyable and relaxing because he is able to make it so (single mothers who have dated will be able to tell you how rare this is). She can trust to leave them alone together at any time and know both will usually be happy about it. She respects and admires that a lot about him, and knows he will make an exceptional father one day when he does decide to have a child of his own.

3) The last girl I asked said it was not one singular defining trait, but rather a bunch of things mixed up together. Like the fact that he is very affectionate and loving. He knows how to cook well and therefore does so a lot, in fact he does it most of the time. He keeps his place clean and organised almost all the time. He has a pet and takes very good care of it. He is also great with animals in general, including hers. He doesn't have much money, but manages it very well - he's also happy to pay when he does have money to afford it. He doesn't have a problem with equality like some guys do and it doesn't threaten him - he's cool with both of them doing what they can to contribute in the areas they have resources. He tries to do the right thing. He never lies to her. He's not jealous. Basically there is no drama in their relationship because they don't let anything come between them. He's very responsible, happy, and easy going. The combination makes him a great partner, and she respects him for those things and believes that he brings value.

And since you wanted normal NT women, all of these answers are from NT women, all of who are quite pretty. There is an aspie girl dating one but I excluded her answer since you would discount it anyway because she is aspie.

Yes. Some have had jobs or studied in between, but are now jobless again and have been for 3 months or longer. So it's not a short time frame.

"Some had jobs" makes a whole different story for the argument.

The age of the girls play a role too, single moms usually have different priorities as well, for example would she have chosen this man if he wasn't being a father figure for her son? or if she didn't have a son.

In other words, they all met, dating and courted when they didn't have jobs for quite a few months (3 or more months). Some got casual work for a few months, and one did a one month course. All have been out of jobs and not studying for at least the last 3 months. I didn't mention the other one with the AS girl who was a student when they meet, and now is unemployed - since lost considers AS womens opinions irrelevant to what he wants..

I think she would of considering she 19 (which isn't that old) and is now pregnant with his kid (unplanned). Certainly in their case it wouldn't have changed anything.

Now that's interesting from Aussie women:

There are some surprising results as well. For instance, 'unemployment' was voted a sexier profession than sales, science, HR, IT and a bunch of other perfectly respectable careers. Figure that one out.


O.o


Edit: but meh, it's from an infidelity site, those women are seeking for an affair, not a partner. Totally irrelevant for our discussion.

They certainly think that an unemployed guy would be easier to be accessed for sex :lol:

Remember, it also depends on the type of culture and where you are living, if you are living in a country with arranged marriages or dating based on traditional values, you might find having a respectable job and a stable income to be an important factor.

None of the guys on this show seem to work and still manage to get girls, maybe it's just a UK thing. I've never had an actual job longer than a month and I have a girlfriend and dated fine before that so I don't think the job thing is that important.

^^ Well my country certainly is in the " country with arranged marriages or/and dating based on traditional values" category.

My own problem isn't the job part tho.
