Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I'd never be the rebound relationship guy.
Now the "hot steamy rebound sex guy until you realize I'm an old bastard and you end up breaking it off to hook up with someone your own age guy"...that could be me

I'm 37 and I would fail your test.
You aren't the only one. I've never even played Pokemon.
If you're limiting yourself to Women ⊃ Nerdy Women ⊃ Played Pokemon ⊃ Only likes Gen 1&2 Pokemon as your primary partnership criteria, you're going to have a bad time.
Hell most men have a hard time finding a mate if they limit themselves to Women ⊃ Women who find me attractive ⊃ when they're sober

What if you limit yourself only to potential mates who can actually recognize set theory symbols and know what they mean, or even know how to type them?

I had to regain some nerd cred somehow..I've already admitted to not playing Pokemon. Something had to be done.
Cheesy, you're a sweet guy with a lot of good qualities. But I know you've been feeling down and lonely lately. If you come on a little too strong, that can be off-putting. Taking it easy, being casual, acting like it's no big deal even if you're sweating bullets, could help you seem more confident, less needy. And confidence is attractive.

It was more of a joke, but it really was to get a frame of reference. She was 2 when the first Pokemon came out.
Seeing that typed out makes me feel far more like a creeper.
The hurricane is apparently staying a hurricane and so is the one on it's heels. This is crazy.
Damn, guess Nick can't date you.
Sooooo...what're you tryin' to say?
Most of the stores near us are out of bottled water and waiting for the last shipments to come in. I don't know about plywood. Maybe on the oceanfront, but not where we are. Military housing doesn't allow you to board up or tape the windows.
He's saying you and Fade can only be prom dates and nothing more.
That's weird, when we were stationed in Louisiana they required you to board AND tape windows when storms were on the way. Military rules are so weird at times.
But this is now privatized housing. It's not the Navy saying don't do it, it's the management company.

"I've been a mom for 8 seconds. I should probably plaster my Facebook page with sappy platitudes in white sans serif up against a picture of flowers or a sunrise. I am a wise earth mother." Gah why is it so annoying to me?! My annoyance is at least as annoying to me as they are... it's just this visceral thing.
BLOCK ALL THE MOMS.
Sorry HF moms. I love y'all and actually enjoy hearing about your children. I love less corny things like photos and anecdotes.

Well at least he won't need a very big car... and he'll be able to carpool with a lot of friends.
I got pissy prematurely. Now my wife will laugh at me in the morning.
I'm really fucking tired.

Well, I hope they enjoy getting to replace so many broken things.

See this it friggin goes with Fade (the comic, not me). I get into it, and then I've had to work late all week to try to get some software out. Basically, they want a refactor of code that was written literally over 20 years, and they want it done before I go on vacation next week. I've been on it for 6 months or so, which is pretty damn fast I think, considering the size and complexity of the project. Did I mention the original was written over 20 years? And I'm under instructions not to alter core kernel code, which means I have to basically bolt chrome only a beat up rusty car, and then make it work, all while understanding exactly how the rusty car has been altered by multiple scientists who don't really know how to code. So long story short, the comic languishes.
Tried the 33 dating a 25 year old.
Aside from the key scratch down the side of my Jeep, it turned out horribly![DOUBLEPOST=1407510586,1407510553][/DOUBLEPOST]
Jesus Frank. You need to get out more. Or play with @Jay and I.
..... my wife was 18 when I met her at age 24/25...
.... you were very mature for your age?

Maybe compared to some, but I sure wasn't as mature as her. I still had that stereotypical teenage mixture of confidence and insensitivity. My everquest character at the time was named Amano Jyaku for chrissakes. Try explaining the origin of THAT name to a woman born in 1970.
a 6 1/2 year difference is a lot more reasonable than a 8 year difference. You wouldn't think so, but there it is.
The main problem with dating someone notably younger is about impulse and risk. And that can be a good thing in some ways - they're more spontaneous, and that can be fun. But then you see them about to make a mistake you've made that really fucked things up, and you want to warn them, but you know they won't listen, and also, they kind of need to learn from their own mistakes. Is it really your place to deny them that experience?
The main problem with my experience was that she was to quote philosopher Doug Benson, "a lying liar with lies pouring out of her lie-hole." For example, the two "ex-boyfriends that won't stop calling" (cause she was still dating them). Or "You don't need to wear a condom, I'm sterile" (at which point Karl Pilkington showed up and said BULLSHIT), then 2 months later she's like "Yay me and John (her 43-year old boyfriend that she moved in with) are expecting!"
