OH, those silly, silly girls.

I haven't read the rest of the thread, yet, but I just have to stop here and say that MEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. I like all their parts, but especially THE part... (you know the one!)... and biceps/shoulders/chests. I love the biceps/shoulders/chest combo, most especially when hairy. Jeezus, I drool every time I watch that "Jayne in the infirmary taping his gun to himself" scene...

The muscular buttocks ain't bad, neither, though more for tactile reasons than visual.

Um... I'll be in my bunk...

Not to be vulgar, but anyone else would fall into the friends with benefits category. We would have fun, but ultimately she would be someone to hang out with that I would have to take in a manly fashion numerous times. I must be careful. There is alot of energy I have saved for that special someone. Must aviod the manwhoring. Must avoid the manwhoring. Must avoid the manwhoring. Oh hell, just flirting with different girls this weekend was nice. Might just have to go out for whole tease night. That sounds like fun.

Do we need to get you two a room?

No, I've completely forgotten whatever it was I was going to say.

Hm, can icomplain instead?

Some pig has gone onto my myspace pace and purposefully wrecked the message that my neice so painstakingly put together on my fridge thingy. I wouldn't have minded so much if they replaced it with another message, but they just deliberatly desroyed it for no reason. I hate people sometimes. That was my neices message!

*sulks*

ok, trivial compared.

oh, thats it, I was going to say NVG - maybe she's not sure exactly where she stands with you? She's possibly a bit uncertain and sticking to the familiar? or she playing with you. (if she is she's a bitch) you of course have the conundrum of not making a fool of yourself for her, 'cause if she is then you end up in a worse position.

Turning to the bonkbuster for inspiration, why not a grand gesture - get her alone, tell her your interested in her but you wont play games, then leave her (just up and go) and let her make her mind up what she actually wants.

Be a wee bit theatrical and very alpha male about it. It might work, if it doesn't, you've kept your dignity.

And by the way, have Ifound you on myspace and added you?

oh, and can y'all read my page since I changed it around?

He's crude, he's obnoxious and he doesn't have a whole pile going on between the ears. He would drive me absolutely demented. If I were on Serenity I'd avoid him like the plague!

LOL. You've listed half the reasons I like him! I guess it's all comes down to what we personally want, or need. I've done the complicated/tortured/intelligent man thing, and I've figured out that I prefer down to earth and easy. Can't stand drama/self-doubt/over-analyzing/etc. Mal's tortured complexity would drive me bananas. Plus, Mal's not hairy. I likes me some hairy.

And I'm pretty crude - ok, I think I'm worse than Jayne, actually - so I'd want a guy I could be myself with. I don't need a lot of fancy romancin' - let's just get down and dirty, gorrammit!

Yeah, and Jayne's tall and good-looking, but I'd like him pretty much if he looked like Badger (who I also kinda like, come to think of it...)

I don't find Jayne at all obnoxious, either. I think he's darling. But, I realize I'm a little odd...

And I like guns.

So, Jayne it is, for me!

I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as both people understand that's what is going on. Just don't miss out on anything good b/c you're hoping that something will work out that may not.

Yes, the confused Ms. Incredible seems to know my intentions, but I may have to get out the hammer and chisel to make them more defined. She may not what I want, But I at least want her as a friend. I believe some theatrics may be in order. After I do let things be for a bit some misbehavin' and thuggery may ensue. Just need some runnin' partners so I can say, "Lets go be badguys" Need to find some BROWNCOATS in my town.

RUGBUG: Good suggestion. I'd just been afraid of casual relationships for a while. I hate to have unimportant things in my life clogging up the works such. I am the bastard child of a bastard. I never knew my "sperm donor". And I have been truly in love only once in my life. Thats just the beginning. I am afraid because really I have no fear. Sounds goofy, but then again so am I.

Not sure if I have seen you here before today...if you have been here, I apologize for forgetting...if you haven't, then welcome!

Thanks for the input. Generally, "those" parts are not mentioned by females when describing the attractive parts of a male...glad to see someone out there likes their aesthetic values!

Anyone here ever heard of the Ladder Theory? It goes like this:

Men (straight men) have one ladder. All women are ranked on it, according to which ones they'd most like to sleep with, all the way down to the ones they'd sleep with if they were drunk/desperate/last man on earth. Point is, men will pretty much sleep with anyone, under the right circumstances.

Women, however, have two ladders. There's the ladder which ranks the men they'd sleep with. Then the ladder for their "Friends." If you are on the wrong ladder, it is VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to "ladder jump."

I feel bad when anyone's hopes for a relationship don't work out, but I also feel bad when I see men holding a torch, or maintaining a hopeful friendship, with a woman who just isn't into them.

A wise older friend of mine once said, "In relationships, if it's not YES, it's NO." And that's it. No maybe, no eventually, no if I just stay her friend, she'll come around... If she's in a bar with some slimeball, she doesn't want you. Nothing against you, at all. I personally don't want Mal, either, but doesn't change the fact that he's a great guy.

I hope I don't sound mean, that's not my intent. I think the folks on this board are awesome.

what parts are 'those' Tristan? I think between us the girls have touched on pretty much everything (fnar fnar)

Sorry, couldn't not resist the urge to make a bad crude joke.

And thank you for the endearments you posted.

I need as many as you've got.

Literally the competition will go (he comes in) Darling!
Dearest!
uh, Seetheart!
Honey!
Sweetpea!
uuuum, er, er....
Most handsome man in the worl?
you wish, ah, right... Hunnybun!
Sweetcheeks!
ew! Is that what you call your girlfriend?
No!
Thank god for that.
.....
your turn.
oh! er, Sunshine!
that was crap.
yeah...
I win.
I don't think so.
Bye!
You don't get to win!
(random visitor looks at me strangely)

So as many endearments as you can give me!

Oh, and no, I just started speaking up. Stumbled on this thread today. I love it! You ladies and gents are mighty.

This is totally off-topic, but I noticed, Tristan, that you have a Ren Faire background. I do, too. I wonder how often the FIREFLY/REN FAIRE fans converge - such as the Bedlam Bards (who did the FIREFLY FILK CD ON THE DRIFT) who normally perform at Ren Faires. And Joss saying that the vernacular in FIREFLY is a cross between Elizabethan and Old West. Interesting.

Um...guns...parts...no, no metaphor at all. Really!

I have heard of the ladder, but I think it was from a comedian...can't quite place it, though.

I have to disagree just a bit. There are female friends I have that I would not sleep with, nor have I considered sleeping with. They are friends and that is all...which is enough for me. On the flip side, I do have female friends and acquaintances that, were I not a happily married man, I would do my best to take in a manly fashion (just to show y'all that I do have lustful feelings every now and then

). BUT, as I am happily married, I can still consider them friends.
Does that make sense? Any other guys in here like that...or any females that have something like the "ladder" theory?

Honestly, you could be right if I hadn't heard things from the past from other folk. I do believe there is a game being played here, and I am still waiting for the right shot. COPILOT seemed to have it pegged pretty well. But your point of view makes perfect sense. It was just out of character for her to do that. Just gotta play the waiting game. There are just too many factors not to hear it straight from her. Just a little truth. I'm not one to leave fires burning. Chances are they burn themselves out, but only after alot of destruction and mayhem. Besides, I have been fighting this fire for (thinks) Nine months. The strange thing is that I don't feel burnt. Is there something wrong with me? Is there something wrong with loving this fighting feeling? Does Paris Hilton really think she can have a musical career? I need chocolate. Who's with me?

Ladder theory?

Yes, I would say it's fairly accurate for me. There are friends and then there are friends with possibilities. Friends rarely become possibilities but sometimes possibilities become just friends. Sometimes friends are only friends due to circumstance (i.e. married, dating) which means they probably should've been categorized as possibilities all along.

I think it has to do with chemistry. Friends are usually lacking in chemistry. If there is chemistry, there is possibility.

Is that vague and non-specific enough for you?

Rugbug: who needs to find more possiblities...and more emoticons.

Alright, here we go...

Light in the darkness of my life
Wind beneath my wings
Apple of my eye
My living dream
Sugar-coated love muffin
My destiny
My precious

Oh, and here's something to try...
Next time he walks into the room, look shocked, and clutch your hand over your heart. When he says "what?", then relax a bit, and say "oh, it's only you...I thought an angel had come down to take me away". I think that alone would win you a round!

to be honest i think sugar coated love muffin is a round winner all of its own.

maybe even the endearment to end all endearments.

Better save it till I get bored.

So, thats a question I suppose, wierdest endearment you've ever been called? or wierdest compliment?
