Exactly what I need, thank you

Hello people. I was just wondering if any of you would be interested or mind sending me some mail (on the site here). As I've said, I'm deployed, and don't get much time to get on here and read the forums, but I enjoy being able to talk to and interact with people back home. So yeah, anyone and everyone feel free to drop me a line, just don't always expect a quick response ;).

Thanks!

Right, and not to sound harsh here, but it's to be expected... as with any job that keeps you away from your family and loved ones for extended periods of time. Look up the suicide rate of truck drivers, fishermen, etc. For that matter, look at movie stars, and music professionals, who spend all their time working... it's unfortunate, but it's expected in a stressful environment. I don't believe it's something that should be used to label the military in general.

I take my coffee black with sugar, and it does relate to how I like my women... a touch of sweetness with a bite to back it up, and always fresh ;)

*edit* Had to reword it...

Soldier, currently deployed.

Good ones, very good ones

Well i certainly can't sleep, my shift starts in just over an hour, lol

Oh a VERY interesting one I actually saw a buddy of mine do once...

We were at a sports bar, and he put a menu on the ground by his bar stool, then called over a woman bartender and had her stand next to him looking at a menu in his hands.

"Can I have anything on the menu?" he asked..

"Of course" The bartender replied.

Then he looked down at the menu she was standing on and said "Then I'll take you"

They went out the next night, lol.

"Do you know the true meaning of beauty?"

"Because I was hoping to hear it from the source..."

"Hi! Remember me?"
"No..."
"That's because you haven't met me yet, but I bet you'll remember me next time."

*Walk away, turn around and come back again*

"Hi! Remember me?"

"So I woke up this morning and there was a purple spotted giraffe in my shower, and when I asked him what he was doing there, he said... HI!"

Always a fun topic I think... here's a couple of mine...

Me: "Excuse me, how much do you think a polar bear weighs?"
Them: "Huh??"
Me: "Enough to break the ice, at least... Hi, I'm Rob"


Or for the one you already broke the ice with....

Me: "How do you think a cat would cross a river?"
Them: *confused look*
Me: *reach for their hand* "Well here..." *Run a finger over a line in their hand* "Here's the river." *point to one side of the line* "And here's the cat... how do you think he'd cross?"

As they come up with different answers, come up with reasons why it wouldn't work.

Finally, when they give up on trying to answer and ask you why, you answer: "I don't know, I just wanted to hold your hand".

Yes, definately entertaining

Ugh i hate the whole "nice guys finish last" thing, it's such a crock, lol.

Let put it out there in my typical bluntness.

It's not that the assholes get all the women, and the nice guys don't. People are mis-associating "nice" with "self-concouse/nervous". You absolutely don't have to be an asshole, and you won't get very far if you think you do. At the same time though, don't be intimidated by possible rejection (the typical "nice" guy).

My entire life I've been an absolute romantic, putting people I care about before me... a "nice" guy if you will. But I've also never been intimidated by women, rejection, or competition. I've always been confident, not cocky. Never in my life have I had the slightest problems in dating.

And don't think this only applies to men, this ALL applies to women as well. Forget the stereotypical "wait for the guy to talk to me". Talk to EVERYBODY. Be flirtatious (I've always been a huge flirt), but not overly perverted of course :P.

And last but not least, don't worry. don't worry about finding the one, they will come to you if it's meant to happen. Find enjoyment, excitement and fun in everything you do. When you talk to women/men, don't think of them as potential mates, or potential lovers... just think of them as new people, or new friends, and go from there, it makes a world of difference, trust me.

well it's nearing noon for me here... but my morning was great, since you asked ... got the morning off to work a night shift tonight.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that's a myth. I think it stems from the men that arn't ready or willing to commit. I also think it'd be safe to say that most men want a woman that is no only willing to, but wanting to rely on them.... We like a woman that needs us ;).

*edit to add*
FYI if you don't know me already (I have been gone a while), I'm a VERY straight shooter... get used to this kind of commenting from me. I like to be blunt

To that I have to ask...


Where's all the women who like short dark and handsome?

We complain that women are stereotyped into having to be skinny and curvy with huge breasts... but what about us short guys who have to live up to women always wanting a taller man, hmm? :P

Anyway, my wife's an inch taller than me, and we're quite happy... I'm still able to lift her up, and toss her around like a ragdoll as it were :P.

We'll leave when the job is done. Progress is being made, although many refuse to see it. Like we say here... prepare for the worst and hope for the best... there's little more you can do. But please, PLEASE don't even consider sending us a bunch of un-trained people that don't want to be here... or wasting our country's tax dollars on training said people, or wasting possible resources to be used in finishing this to go and train them... Yeah, definately no draft.

A draft will never happen again, short of a world war. It would be career suicide for the parties responsible. Not only that, but the american people don't want a draft, and us soldiers sure as HELL don't want a huge influx of people that don't want to be here... it will hurt us more than it will help us.

So I'm told... Thank you
