"9mm actually. no, um, don't know guns. perhaps someone could SUGgest what kind of gun is behind the counter. the governator visits on the frequent for his usual brew so do not be alarmed by any resemblance he may hold to an outfit stealing, sunglass wearing robot."

"<snip> part of getting there is recognizing that no one is better than you. if you look at this girl as if she is better than you already as i might look at this job as better because i'm not a 'higher up' it will show. you are a whole, complete person with feelings, desires, whatever you want... you are special too. she is no more special for having a lack of Y chromosome or a cute face"

"of course koudis, what doya need? i'll have bob at the counter whip up something.
here, akuji. best seat in the house. ;-P
*hands over the folding chair she'd pulled out for herself*

HEY BOB, GET THE CHAIRS OUTTA THE OFFICE! we've had more people show than expected!"

"Bob? Not Uncle Bob? You said there won't be any Governators looking to chore our clothes. ;)"

"But that's kind of a catch too. A guy wants to regard a girl as special, the best thing in his life, not ordinary and mundane like his burping, farting male friends.

That's why it's frustrating when the smooth talking dudes who treat women as just another potential notch on the bedpost get all the luck."

"We used to call it "being a gentlemen"..........and i am afraid the art of being one is dying.

Perhaps women arent used to being treated well and as a result, pass us nice guys by ?

For me, the only thing i know how to do is engage in small talk...nothing big or fancy, nothing to show off........just small talk "hows the weather, do you like working where you work, whats your family like"....etc. Sure, im not the most exciting guy in the world.......but it IS being me, and thats what everyone says to do...be yourself. "

"i LOVE when a guy holds a door open, pays without question. i have been known to show my appreciation with what i consider the female equivalent: saying thank you all the time, buying cute little 'thinking of you' gifts.

story time: there was this guy at my high school, quite a stud. all the girls liked him because he was super good looking and stuck up to boot. one day, little nonprodigal is walking up to the front of the school. (i was not very attractive in early high school, mind you. and very shy) i was a little nervous and awestruck as i reached the door only about two steps behind him. he opened it for himself, turned and looked back at me, and let the door shut right as i got to it. that moment did it, i swore that i would never, ever show interest in him. he couldn't get me to date him if he begged and i never found him attractive again. my friends would oggle at times and i would keep my mouth shut because, in my opinion, he had shown his true colors. that same guy had a knife accident a year later and his perfect face was forever marred. he became a bit of a loner and sort of emo before his senior year ended.
sometimes those that shine that bright, can only shine for a short period before they burn out.

i am a bit of a feminist, i'm offended if you indicate that i'm dumb, slow, or weak for being a woman. holding a door is just being polite and niceties, imo, should always be welcome. i hold doors for people who are WAY out in the parking lot, just being a woman, i pass it off to them while passing through it. if it's someone old or with a child, stroller, or arms full or something like that, i'll hold it so they can pass through."

"Know what depresses me? *chugs bottle of Jack Daniels*

*chugs the whole bottle..........collapses, dies of alcohol poisioning*"
