<Tex thinks that AngelM really needs a real southern gentleman to take her out and treat her like a lady (isn't that a song) but everytime he does that, the lady's leave him for one of those black-hatted dudes, so he's pretty much given up on those ideas. Better to spend his days riding the range and singing those plaintive cowboy range songs> (How's that for getting back to dating troubles!?)

I get bored with nice guys. I like the challenge.

Challenge=Drama/Heartache

Dating 101

<Unfortunately for the ladies - Tex isn't looking for a challenge - he's looking for honesty - at his age he doesn't have time to play the games anymore>

Yeah, what he said.

I don't know of anyone above the age of 25 who really has time for games, whether male or female.

And guys, it isn't always that we ladies want to be with a "bad boy", it can often be more that with them you see their bad traits and determine if you can accept them. With a "nice guy", you wonder what he is hiding because for some of us, the "nice guys" have turned out to be far more frightening than the "bad boys".

<So what Tex is hearing is that he should pick up some bad traits. He'll have to ponder that one for a while - what habits could he live with - and don't get the impression that Tex thinks he's perfect - but unfortunately the ladies don't seem to care for the fact that he doesn't do the bar scene - go figure>

I think that was a movie too. Hey Jeremy, a married girl just asked me to come out with her and some of her single girlfriends Saturday night after they go to a wedding. Hence the question, Should I stay or should I go?

CAN I ASK U--So, I like Corona and can play a helluva game of pool. Is that "bad" enough? That's all I got.

The ridiculous thing is girls all date the bad boys then want to whine about it when surprise, they are bad. Meanwhile all the nice guys are stuck with bad girls who are converting them into bad boys. Soon the nice guys will be extinct. It's a viscious circle.

You need piercings Jeremy, and maybe a neck tattoo.

No Jeremy, you're too nice. You become friends with us and then you cant cross over.

... and no lady you meet in a bar is going to be worth your time anyhow.

Now don't say that, just because a lady goes into a bar doesn't make her worth any less, just as it doesn't make a man worth any less. It is something that is of a personal preference. (And remember, just because you are in a bar doesn't necessarily mean you are drinking.)

That may be true, but how many lasting relationships has anyone hear had that started in a bar??

I think it depends on what the person goes to the bar for. If they go looking for a relationship, then you steer clear of those people! On the other hand, if you go out just to have a good time and you happen to meet someone, that's not bad...

I have been invited to many parties that are held in bars and have attended a few, but I wasn't drinking and wasn't looking for a man, I was there because that is where the party was held and I cared enough about the person for whom the party was being held to attend and show them my support.

And for a lady that likes to go out and party, what is wrong with meeting a man that likes to do the same, or the other way around. To each his or her own.

Ang,
I wasn't hitting on K

But, now that you mention it......

K, I also have trust issues, so I understand. I'm trying to focus them more on my ex rather than shoulder them myself. It's a difficult road.

Oh, but today is my Divorcery, and I'm celebrating!!!! Meet me in the bar and I'll get you something nonalcoholic.

I have to stop reading this post, or I will start to rant. But let me just say that for all of you ladies who want to proclaim that you don't know why you are attracted to, or end up with the bad boys and that the nice guys are just "friends" to you...I say bull. I don't know enough to tell you the deep psychological reasons why you claim this or believe this, but I think you just need to admit the fact that to you, they aren't really "bad boys". They are either men who you share common interest with (which may or may not make you a "bad girl") or there are endless Freudianish things going on which I won't even start to claim I know enough about - maybe you have low self-esteem, like the screw ups because it makes you appear to be the better of the two, like being a martyr. I don't know, and I am not trying to bash, but come on! You have a choice in life! If you are going to complain about the bad boys, stop being with them, and if you know in your heart that you like the bad boys, stop complaining about them or pretending to be surprised by their actions!

Ok - I feel better!

I agree CubDave!

I recently was seeing a girl who's my age and she had problems seeing me. She said that she's not used to being the "bad" one. In her past, she's always dated guys who were pieces of trash who would cheat on her, etc. Then she was in a position of power with them, always holding the moral stick and being in control (You cheated on me, so now I have the choice of staying with you or not). So when it came to me, I ended up getting the shaft...

Standing Ovation for Dave.

Now if only he were smart enough to convert to the Cardinals.
