When I was single, I attracted guys who were smart, nice and funny, and who wanted to be my friend so they could ask for my advice with the girls they actually liked.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On a regular basis?
Yup. It wasn't extended, but it was regular.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah. I gotta get out more. Unfortunately, none of my single friends are interested in prying themselves out of the house, either.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I used to attract alcoholics and problem drinkers. Now it seems to be people with control issues and a certain level of OCD. ::shrugs:: Ooo, I did date that one Nice Guy who turned epically nasty after we broke up, including the immortal email to my sister - "Tell your fat bitch of a sister she's better off sticking with dykes, and the same goes for you." (the memory of which message now cracks me up to no end)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I know cookies are following me around
Oh, yeah. Two weeks ago, I was getting ads for Lifetime and Bally's, and now I'm getting all car ads.
Speaking of, I'm finally picking up my Mazda3 tonight! Signed all the paperwork on Saturday, and they're delivering the car from the Rockford dealership today. Monthly payments are going to be $9 more than I expected due to the fact that when they told me that I was eligible for 0% financing, they lied, and then when they said I would be getting $500 back since I didn't qualify for the 0% financing, they lied again. But, I did end up with 2.8%, so I can't complain too much, and I did resist firmly when they kept pushing their various warranties and maintenance packages at me. The only extras I got were the iPod cable to control my iPod through the steering wheel, and the remote starter which will make the car much warmer for me in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Awww. Do you think all that misogyny keeps him warm at night and makes him eggs in the morning?

She's not sitting around waiting to be tapped on the head by the chosen schlong. She has to like him too, and the topic has to come up.
Actually, that's my point. They are billing her as this girl who is just trying to go out and get laid, but she's having soooooo much trouble.

Because books.
Oh, I don't see her as someone just looking to get laid. More as someone who wants a boyfriend, which is a different thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is that how it's being sold? That's really not the show at all, based on the pilot.

Excuse you? You're playing the other people are hermits card?
Actually, that's my point
But not mine. You just said someone that pretty shouldn't be having difficulty. The pretty doesn't fix it.
