The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Disclaimer: I don't know you at all (anez, Justin, all other disenfranchised daters) and I really can't comment directly on what makes you happy so the views expressed below are wholly uninformed. But...

I'd be inclined to say that the sentiment expressed above, and elsewhere in this extremely off-topic thread, ( ) are just a tad too cynical. What's described here is that the majority of the world is comprised of users - something that I just can't agree with. There are too many good people in this world to discount the possibility that there is someone out there for you. It might not be at this time and place in your life, but I guarantee you there are good people out there. I disagree that dating someone precludes you from having success in your own life, provided you have the right partner. I've learned that I'm worth the time and effort it takes to find someone who will not only make me a better person, but allows me to reciprocate and make her a better person. I do believe that it's possible to be a couple whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

In the end, "success" can only be measured by the individual's happiness so please take no offense to my comments above. I'm merely trying to counteract a little bit of the cynicism with some hope

By the way, this comes from someone currently dating and in love so I might be a bit biased

This is a heck of a long way off topic and I have been trying to avoid comment, but I think that there is not only cynicism, but sweeping generalizations going on that do not consider that every situation is different.

For the record, I have been on the young end of a breach of the half plus seven 'rule'. There were no issues with the relationship, there was no baggage on either side, and age was a much bigger issue for other people than for her or I.

"Sweeping generalizations" would be an understatement. Personally, I know a LOT more women than men that have their acts together. That would include both my ex-wife and my wife.

If all you're finding are women with their heads up their arses, perhaps it's time to look elsewhere. If you're bottom fishing, all your going to catch are bottom dwellers.

Considering we broached the concept of "bling=vagin" on page two of this thread, how far off topic are we, really?

Hey, what's the point of having rules if there aren't exceptions?????

~”Hide it in a hiding place
Where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret,
Just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all, you've got to hide it
from the kids.”

Coo coo ca-choo

I certainly never meant to imply there aren't good people out there-- there are, of both genders, and I've been lucky enough to know plenty of them.

However, knowing good people doesn't automatically mean you want to be in a relationship with them. Never say never, as they say, because you always end up making a prat of yourself later, but it's my personal belief that some people are much happier single. It really has more to do with the individual's desire for autonomy and freedom and than the lack of good people in the world. I've been very lucky in my life and never had any horrible crash-and-burn relationships, but I've found I do prefer not having to always include another person's perspective/opinions/needs/feelings in all of my decisions. It's hugely selfish, of course, but so long as it's not being selfish and the expense of some other poor unfortunate, I think it's excusable.

First time I ever watched The Graduate was with my considerably older first lady friend. Talk about meta-irony.

Ahhh, the BEST part of life is we get to grow and change. When I was 40 and looked back at the stuff I believed at 30, it was almost embarssing. "Almost" because being embarrased denies the importance of where we were and how we got here.

OH, just to take it back "on topic," I'm thinking aout a solid gold medallion - about 10" across, on a chain, with a solid gold Motors - just the head mind you - welded to the middle. Then ice the crap out of the whole thing. Thoughts? Could use some help here.

Love it. Can we make this the next BreitlingSource LE?

Are you also going to drive a pimped out Nissan, with primer paint job and sans hood?

Only if it can be a low rider. And an Escalate for my posse.

Nissan and Escalade just don't mix. If they're in an Escalade, you've got to up your ride. But if you wanna stick with the Nissan, you could get them a ghetto Previa with sweet custom lighting and spinning hubcaps.

I won't be friends with you Tom if you don't get a spinner on it.

I'm with Anez on the off topic statements. I have met awesome people, whom are now my best friends. The women, are all married as they are super awesome. Too late I suppose.

kstone, how do I end up with the botton dwellers when I'm fly fishing, water too shallow?
