What's love got to do with it?

[LoneStarGirl]

So this thread is basically for the guys who are HUGE sports fan. I have a story to back this question up, but I dont know if I want it to be revealed yet, so here is the question.

If you had to choose between your woman (or man) and between something you really loved, lets say your favorite sports team or favorite college sports program, who would you choose?

Okay, what the hell, I'll tell the story.
I am from Houston, Texas, and my boyfriend of 3 years (GE) is from Memphis. When we graduate from college in May I told him that I would attend the University of Memphis until I obtain my Masters degree, and then I wanted to move to Texas, or to where ever I was being offered the most money. He basically refused and said that he could never leave Memphis because of his love for University of Memphis athletics. He was raised watching them play, and couldn't live being outside of that raggedy little town. So that is my basic question, would any of you guys choose a school or sports team over your woman? Or is he alone? Or am I just silly? Thanks for the serious answers in advance. ;)

[Chubby]

this thread won't end well...

[Desnudo]

Anyone want to step on a huge land mine? Thanks, but no thanks.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I dare Arlie to answer this question so close to Valentine's Day.

[NoMyths]

If he would choose a sports team over you then you aren't really that important to him and should move on to someone who wouldn't.

Also, here's a free apostrophe to insert into your thread title to make it correct: '

[LoneStarGirl]

c'mon pussies, you know your women won't view this tread.

[stevew]

I didnt realize people actually cared about college sports that much.

[LoneStarGirl]

Nobody I have ever met does Steve, except for GE.

[EagleFan]

(nevermind)


Funny side note (relatively speaking) to the thread, I saw Farrah had responded to the thread and clicked it thinknig that she had started it so when I read about her BOYFRIEND not wanting to move my first thought was "Arlie's gonna be pissed when he reads this one.".

[Desnudo]

c'mon pussies, you know your women won't view this tread.

I would never leave you baby. Unless the Patriots were playing in the Super Bowl or the Red Sox were in Game 7.

[cartman]

I guess this is why I need to marry an Austin girl.

:D

[Swaggs]

Relationships are about compromise. If you both want to make it succeed, then you will have find a middleground that you can both live with, and make it work.

[Desnudo]

You all know that she's talking about Golden Eagle right? Not someone who will never see this?

[Anthony]

a very appropriate topic for a couple to discuss on a public message board. yes, every man loves having such things spread around to internet strangers.

you owe him a blowjob.

and allowing him to give you a facial.

[EagleFan]

You all know that she's talking about Golden Eagle right? Not someone who will never see this?

Honest? Maybe I have an edit to do then...

[NoMyths]

So we should lie?

In addition to my previous statement, I would modify it thusly: if said boyfriend is actually suiting up for one of the local teams he's mentioned, then it's more understandable. Otherwise, I'd remind him that through the magic of television, he can still follow his favorite local teams. Once they get good enough to matter, that is.*

* Another reason why an unhealthy attachment to any Memphis team is pure insanity, especially when nookie is on the line.

[GoldenEagle]

As usual, a woman is only telling her side of the story. By the way, I advised against her posting this. She does not listen.

[Balldog]

Do you guys not own a TV? I'm obsessed with Ohio State Athletics, I live 2 hours away from Columbus. TV and the internet are pretty nice to have.

Better make sure your edit button hasn't been taken away... :D

do it.

[Pumpy Tudors]

No comment on the original topic, but my wife attended the University of Memphis. She lived in Memphis until her graduation and then moved to New Orleans for graduate school at Tulane. I'm actually more obsessed with U of M athletics than she is. I want to live in Memphis more than she does. I'm also obsessed with my alma mater's sports programs down in New Orleans. Somehow, though, we ended up in southwestern Pennsylvania. :confused:

Anyway, nothing is better than Memphis basketball and football. Don't ever leave!!

When I was in Italy, my girlfriend thought I was crazy staying up until two in the morning listening to the Longhorns games on Yahoo! Broadcast.

No you shouldn't lie, but you should be aware that this isn't about having a problem with some random guy who'll never read what's posted. If that doesn't click, then never mind.

How did you end up in Penn again?

[albionmoonlight]

I would choose Mrs. A over my favorite sports team. I'm pretty sure that was implied in the whole "for better or for worse, etc." deal. Even if it weren't, I kinda have a crush on her.

And it's good to have you back, HA.

How did you end up in Penn again?After my wife finished up her Ph.D studies at Tulane, a university up here offered her a teaching position. Obviously, she accepted, and I was just outside shoveling snow about an hour ago.

His wife is wicked smart (a professor, right, Pumpy?), and she got a good job up there.

This is not a fight. I just wanted to post and see what the members of his favorite board would have to say. He actually listens to some of y'alls opinions and I was hoping he would listen this time.

In all fairness Memphis was here first.

[Draft Dodger]

without knowing what LSG looks like, it's hard to answer the question.

[Radii]

While I'm sure there are two sides to it, with the availability of the internet and the ability to follow my team from anywhere, I wouldn't let that have a big effect on where I lived. My wife just said to me "I don't know anyone who loves any team more than you love North Carolina Basketball" and if I have to move out of ACC TV Coverage area I would have no problem doing so.

[LoneStarGirl]

There is no benefit to letting your significant other see this site. :) Either you'll hear something along the lines of "are you talking to your internet friends again?" Or you might, lord forbid, find her asking relationship advice on the board.

10 foot pole that I won't touch this thread with.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well, that decides it. I'd choose whatever you wanted ;)



Seriously, when Mrs. Eaglesfan and I started dating she made it clear that she wanted to move back to Louisiana. I knew that I wouldn't be getting as many Eagles' and Trojan's games as I wanted on TV. However, I follow them on TV when I can and on the internet when I can't. Also, once we have our house, we'll get Direct TV for the NFL Sunday Pass and I'll be ordering any USC games on PPV. There is no way, I'd let my love of sports, dictate where we live. However, now that we are facing some real economic problems due to Post-Katrina, I do want her to seriously consider moving from Louisiana or at least New Orleans. It's caused some friction, but she is willing to compromise. I think that compromise is the key to any good relationship.

[saldana]

i know someone said something about this before, but can i ask GE a question....did you go to Memphis, or just grow up there?

[Anthony]

What DD said ^^^^^

[oliegirl]

My first rule of posting on the board is to never bring personal issues here and post about them. There have been times that I've relayed stories or asked for info to help settle a discussion, but I always ask radii first if it's ok with him and if he has any reluctance I don't post it. That said...

Based on what LSG said, I have to say I agree with her. BUT like GE said, there are 2 sides to any story. It's possible he is saying "I am not going to follow you around the country so you can land a great job - it needs to be someplace I'll be happy also". But since we don't know that, it's hard to give an answer to the original question.

[LoneStarGirl]

i know someone said something about this before, but can i ask GE a question....did you go to Memphis, or just grow up there?

He grew up in a town about 5 minutes south of memphis. But he has been a fan all of his life, same with his dad and brother.

[Desnudo]

Bastards.

Foul mouthed and naughty. If GE doesn't see what he's got, then he's blind.

[Draft Dodger]

GE hates us

[st.cronin]

When I started dating my girlfriend, she started attending hockey games (and has not stopped - she is now a Road Runner fan). When I decided I wanted to attend school in Santa Fe, she started looking for work in Santa Fe. I told her I'm intending to attend graduate school, possibly in Connecticut or New Jersey, and she has since been regularly writing her friends and family in the New England area.

Yes, I am bragging. I have the most incredibly loyal woman ever.

[Rizon]

Without question my sports team because my hand doesn't talk back.

Oh I wouldn't have posted this without GE first saying I could. And if GE and I had mutual friends around here, they would have been the ones to hear this, but we dont, so you guys are it.

With a name like Golden Eagle, I would've assumed he was a Southern Miss fan.

[MrBug708]

For the sake of GE and his sanity, I say stay with Memphis

[st.cronin]

I understand that Memphis is actually a lovely place to live.

[gkb]

I'd move anywhere my _wife_ wanted me to move. I've had girlfriends that I've dated for several years who ended up cheating on me. I wouldn't move for my S.O. unless I was married or engaged...

I'm sure I'll be happy that I posted to this thread later on. :cool:

[sterlingice]

So maybe this is a tad too serious of an answer, for as light a thread as it has been so far, but at some point I just get tired of the "ooh, how taboo to talk about something like this (especially right before the world's largest fabricated holiday)". I know a lot of people are silly and flippant about it and not at all serious so this isn't that direction but I know there are also a lot of people actually believe this.

I have a wife who, if she asked questions like "if I or your computer are hanging off a cliff, which one do you save" knows that the response will be "Can I get the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and printer, too?" And you know what, it's not because I'm some cold, heartless monster that hates her or takes her for granted or loves my computer, sports teams, or whatever more than her.

I'm sorry, but any time someone goes to the "am I more important or is X", they're missing the boat entirely and just trying to be a manipulative bitch/bastard (equal opportunity as both genders do it). If you guys can't reach some sort of agreement or compromise or talk about it to the point where there's ultimatums flying, there's something bigger wrong than "you like your sports team a little too much".

And for some reason, it's really taboo to say this. It results in guys sleeping on couches or being in the doghouse or not getting any or "being due some revenge" or whatever. This post will be viewed as "ooh, I can't believe someone said that" or dismissed as much too serious in a casual thread (carry on- I don't mean to get in the way of that and if this is a parody thread, wow, I stepped in it big time but it's what I'm good at :)). But, if no one else was going to say "If you're making someone choose between X and you, you're the one screwing up more, not him (and not to say he's not screwing up things also)", it has to be said.

This particular one isn't quite in that vein. Well, actually it is because you asked "would any of you guys choose a school or sports team over your woman?" which, in this case, is basically saying that you love money more than him, using that same logic applied above. But let's not play fair and just throw this little (GIANT) detail out the window.

But, let's throw that aside and say this one is about a different argument. You could always kindly inform him, as has been suggested previously in the thread, of ESPN's delightful packages he could buy with more money and NCAA tournament trips, bowl trips, and tickets and how you would love to let him- ok, so maybe that's pouring it on a tad too sugary sweet. But you get the idea.

Tho, of course, from what I've seen with others- money isn't everything in a job- there's job satisfaction, challenge, location (ding), and more and if you don't get those but a lot of money, it's still not worth it.

Finally, to use a counterexample, I didn't see a bunch of people jump on EF's wife for saying she loved New Orleans and wanted to stay. Yes, there were people frustrated with that and it's fairly obvious that the better job situation for him is to go elsewhere. But I didn't see a single post saying she's some awful person for wanting to stay where she lives- but a lot of posts talking about either making the best of a bad situation or trying to convince her that it was better for both of them.

This is obviously something that's going to require both of you to be on the same page and situations like this are going to be tough for both to reconcile. This is one of those decisions, that if you're both serious, the question isn't "Which do you choose, me or X?", it needs to be "what is the most good for both of you?"

SI

[oliegirl]

SI - I totally agree with everything you just said, I know with every ounce of my being that radii would choose me/Anthony over anything else...but sometimes I kid around with him and ask the questions like your wife does.

From what I could tell, her original post was not a truly serious "He has to make a choice" kind of thing, it was more like a "I want to know what you guys would do in this situation"...like I said in a previous post, I make it a rule to never post personal issue between radii and I here, but GE doesn't seem upset that she did and he seemed to be OK with everything...I don't think she was actually saying to him "Choose me or Memphis" (although that is what the original post sounded like).

[Drake]

There is only one Memphis. There are lots of women.

[Surtt]

Just playing the devil's advocate here.


I wanted to move to Texas, or to where ever I was being offered the most money.


So basically you are choosing money over him?

[sachmo71]

Staying where your roots are is important to a lot of people. That is a valid reason for not moving, especially if you doubt the prospects of a future life together.

[bbor]

Ummm....uhh....oh....wow....

My wife reads this board once in awhile......so i will just shut up now.

I tend to miss some obvious things like that so I wanted to make sure that this was clear. :) However, as I said up there as well, I've run into a lot of people who think this is a completely legit question and wouldn't bat an eye and think it's ok to do that- there's where I was targeting that at.

I absolutely agree. Mrs. Eaglesfan knows I spend quite a bit of time here, but she has no interest in reading the board. A fact which makes me very glad.

[Karlifornia]

If you really want to get your man out of Memphis. Make about 20,000-50,000 flyers saying his name and that he's a high-risk child molestor. Pass them out around the town, where he works, and everywhere else....leave a bunch of them on the sidewalk of the street you live on.

I mean...where's the ingenuity, people?

[LoneStarGirl]

Asking for relationship advice on a board where your significant other hangs out is hot.

How is that relationship advice? I didn't ask for advice for anything, and if i did, it wasn't intentional because I really dont want advice from people who spend the majority of their time on a message board. I just wanted to put this situation out there and see if y'all loved a town or sports team as much as GE does.
Plus, he said that he knew a couple of guys out here would definitly back him up, so it was funny to me that those guys were the ones that in fact agreed with my point of view on the situation.

[NoMyths]

Yep. Glad I took the time to respond.Yep, me too.

Alternately, one could suggest that there are sports teams worth more time than certain relationships, but I wouldn't be the one to do so.

[LoneStarGirl]

Sorry guys, didn't mean to sound like a bitch, but I really wasn't asking for advice. I was just hoping that there would be some avid sports fans out there that could relate to the story. But I did appreciate the words of wisdom guys, i promise.

[Fidatelo]

No no, dig up, stupid!

[sterlingice]

Yep, me too.

Alternately, one could suggest that there are sports teams worth more time than certain relationships, but I wouldn't be the one to do so.Or maybe some relationships are worth less than sports teams ;)

[flere-imsaho]

I suggest reading Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby.

[Drake]

Allow me to reiterate: There's only one [insert team/city here]. There are lots of women. And I've never had a girlfriend who gave bad bj's. I'm not sure such a thing exists.

[gkb]

Yep. Glad I took the time to respond.


As am I.

Well, I'd say this thread is working out pretty much exactly as GE would have hoped.

Well, that rules me out. I just don't understand how any adult, male or female, can be so fanatical about sports that it becomes more important than personal relationships. Sports are pretty far down the list of things that truly matters in life.

[JonInMiddleGA]

would any of you guys choose a school or sports team over your woman?

If it was a woman who would choose money over my happiness without a hint of hesitation? Yeah, I'd stick with the Thrashers.

Or the Yellow Jackets. Or the Gladiators. Or a 8-9 y/o Pee Wee Football team that I happen to drive by the field where they play a couple of times a year. Dunno who those kids are but I think I'd prefer their company to someone who was more interested in her own wallet than in anything that was really important to me.

Between the completely selfish bitch attitude displayed in the wording of the original question and the foot+ankle+shin+knee+thigh you put in your mouth when you basically slammed the forum a few pages later, I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who has fucked up their own image on a forum more completely in such a quick fashion as you have in this thread.

Ah, cut Jim some slack. He's really torn right now about how to handle the VP Shooting incident. At first he was just going to chalk it up to poor judgment, but once he heard the news that he didn't have the proper stamp on his hunting license, he began to become engraged at the brazen lawlessness of it all and started to contemplate calls for impeachment.

:D

[LoneStarGirl]

John I appreciate your input on the matter, but a couple of things... First, i've been contributing to this forum for a year now. Second, I never said I would choose money over my man. When we first started going out we decided to go to the city where one of us was offered the job with the most money and the other would follow, sorry I didn't specify that at the beginning. And right now he is interested in playing poker for a living, and he can do that anywhere. Third, I would never go to a thread that you started and bad mouth you, i have more respect for people than that. I guess I shouldn't expect the same.

[sterlingice]

If it was a woman who would choose money over my happiness without a hint of hesitation? Yeah, I'd stick with the Thrashers.

Or the Yellow Jackets. Or the Gladiators. Or a 8-9 y/o Pee Wee Football team that I happen to drive by the field where they play a couple of times a year. Dunno who those kids are but I think I'd prefer their company to someone who was more interested in her own wallet than in anything that was really important to me.

Between the completely selfish bitch attitude displayed in the wording of the original question and the foot+ankle+shin+knee+thigh you put in your mouth when you basically slammed the forum a few pages later, I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who has fucked up their own image on a forum more completely in such a quick fashion as you have in this thread.

AFAIC, I really don't care whether the door hits you in the ass on the way out but I sure hope it closes behind you as you leave. Permanently.This was the not-so-nice version of my post. Let's watch as the forum predator stalks his prey, a hybrid of the stupid question asker and the forum insulter, seemingly oblivious to the situation

Respect from Jon. That's a good one.

Seriously though, if things were reversed - say, if Flasch to choose a member at random posted thatr he was offered a well-paying job and he posted on here saying his SO wanted to stay in J'ville because she loved the town so much, half of the posters on here would be saying in so many words, "dump the bitch."

You are very right, but I wasn't going to be the one to say it. But the point is, i never said i would leave GE for money. If i implied that, then it was a mistake.

[Jesse_Ewiak]

Eh, half the board already thinks I'm a political troll who wants to abort their daughters pregnancies and turn their sons gay, so I'm already permantley got on a flame-retardant suit. :-)

I don't want to speak for Jon, but i think his response would have been the same no matter who the original poster was and no matter what the original poster's political views were.

and for what it's worth, i completely agree with him. I may not agree with him politically much, but on lots of other important issues we pretty much see eye-to-eye

Well, Biggie hasn't learned facts and statistics mean nothing to the right wingers. I've learned that and thus have gone straight to making fun of them - more entertaining and fun for me. :-)

And I didn't say everybody on the board would react the same way. But I have see enough 'love advice' on this board basically come down to 'dump her.'

EDITED TO ADD: Also, I don't think it would've mattered about political persuasion either. I'm just pointing out that I said because I've already proved I could care less if people hate me. :-)

[JonInMiddleGA]

First, i've been contributing to this forum for a year now.

Which matters ... how ??? There's assholes who've been here since the original incarnation of FOFC, their longevity doesn't make them less of an asshole. And your year of "contributions" don't make you come across as any less of a bitch at this point.

Second, I never said I would choose money over my man.

In so many words? No, you didn't.

But your word choice, your tone, the whole attitude that came across in your initial post made it pretty clear to me, and I suspect to quite a few others who simply don't want the hassle of saying it straight out.

Honey, you're all about you & that's pretty damned obvious.

Third, I would never go to a thread that you started and bad mouth you, i have more respect for people than that. I guess I shouldn't expect the same.

Respect? For somebody who displayed their selfish nature & now regrets doing so? For somebody who rips on the forum and then tries to cover themselves by whining that they've been posting here for a year themselves? And then try to paint yourself as some sort of victim of an unwarranted attack? Well, I'll be a sonuvabitch ... you really must think we're some incredibly stupid people.

I didn't randomly decide to "bad mouth" you, I didn't drift into the thread thinking "hmm, let's see if there's some innocent victim to slaughter". More like: "I read the thread with my jaw dropping slowly but surely to the floor as you dug a hole for yourself". And, once the incredulous phase passed, I decided if nobody else was going to do it, I'd be the one to call your bullshit for exactly what it has been. Respect you? Bwahahahaha. That's too rich. After the crap you've come up with in this thread, I can't really imagine being able to stand the sight or sound of you, much less have any "respect" for you. Plain & simple, you don't deserve it.

[JeeberD]

Plus, he said that he knew a couple of guys out here would definitly back him up, so it was funny to me that those guys were the ones that in fact agreed with my point of view on the situation.

Damn, GE's pissed at me, huh? :(

[JonInMiddleGA]

No no, dig up, stupid!\

Lost amidst the ensuing clutter, this was pure GOLD.

Strongly disagree with this statement, although I'm sure that quote would appear in the thread somewhere.

[vex]

of things... First, i've been contributing to this forum for a year now.
Really now?

[LoneStarGirl]

No Jeeber, he isn't mad at anyone. He gets mad very rarely.

And Jon, I could care less what you think of me. You know nothing about me except what you have read in one forum/thread and yet you make such a hasty, nasty opinion. Classy. And I did not rip the forum, all i said is i wouldn't ask for advice from people on a forum. I find it hard to see how that is 'ripping'

[JonInMiddleGA]

This was the not-so-nice version of my post.

I'm overworked, overstressed, waaaay overtired, and feeling way too damn old.
I don't do "nice" very much anymore, it just ain't worth the f'n effort.

Let's watch as the forum predator stalks his prey, a hybrid of the stupid question asker and the forum insulter, seemingly oblivious to the situation

Although I get the Nature Channel allusion (and liked it reasonably well) methinks this is more like shooting fish in a barrel than stalking a prey. Just too damned easy, Stevie Wonder could see through this bullshit for crying out loud.

Actually, you said, "people who spend the majority of their time on a message board. "

Which implies something. Kinda like the money thing if you think about it.

[Jesse_Ewiak]

Strongly disagree with this statement, although I'm sure that quote would appear in the thread somewhere.

Eh, it's be worded a myraid of different ways, but it'd basically say, "if you she doesn't want what you want, dump her."

As for the argument the LSG only cares about money - it's not as if GE from what I've read has some great job that he'll lose if they move to wherever. He wants to stay in Memphis because of a college sports team.

I'm somehow betting her prospects for her career are a little more stable with a masters degree than GE's as a pro poker player.

[JeeberD]

OK people, back off the Astros fan...

[LoneStarGirl]

I would delete the thread but then I figured it would make more people pissed off at me ;)

[JonInMiddleGA]

And Jon, I could care less what you think of me.

Gee golly, I'm crushed. :rolleyes:

The only thing that salvages my feelings about that is that you didn't get even 1% of what I really think about you at this point. The proverbial "I wouldn't piss on you if you caught fire" doesn't scratch the surface of it, but it covers the ground adequately enough.

Like I said, I don't really care how you go away, as long as you go away.
If GE chooses to have you as his problem, that's his business. I'll probably question whether he's a damned fool, but ain't no man in the world gonna listen to anybody tell him what to do about a woman anyway, so I don't see any point in going there. We've all had to learn stuff for ourselves in our lives, I don't see any reason to believe he'll be any different than men throughout time eternal on that score.

But spare the rest of us your b.s, m'kay.

Ssssh, Vex. Don't bring the facts into it, you'll get accused of being mean or something.

[st.cronin]

That's got nothing to do with anything. What makes a man (or woman) happy is what this discussion is about. I am lucky to have a partner who would follow me to the ends of the earth, no matter how daffy my dreams got, but as I've told her, it's her turn to dream whenever she wants: When she wants to go somewhere, all she has to do is say so, and we go.

What is happening here is that LSG is either questioning GE's commitment to her, or else revealing that her commitment is less than total.

[st.cronin]

[Danny]

Some of you take things WAY too seriously. Let's see, let me disect every word in a couple of posts from someone and turn them into the anti-christ. Or, let's get all defensive from people posting their opinions and overreact and insult them...

Except that the other symptoms preceeded the end of "nice"; i.e. the effect cannot have been the initial cause. Basically "...I'm all out of bubble gum" at this point.

Nice kinda karmic and/or metaphysical approach you took though ;)

I have a funeral to attend in Houston on Wednesday, so i will be away from the computer tomorrow until Sunday, so y'all can continue this conversation amongst yourselves. Have fun with it. I got a laugh out of it and got some really good feedback. Thanks :)

You realize that you just asked for relationship advice to people on a message board, where your bf also posts, right?

[Jesse_Ewiak]

It's Jon. He wants to send thirteen year olds who download Eminem's CD illegally to Sing Sing for 15 years hard labor.

As a side note, I don't really care. It's 10:30, I'm bored, and it's a chance to play Devil's Advocate with the bonus that I really believe what I'm saying.

[LoneStarGirl]

I didn't ask for advice, and we met about 2 years before I got on this message board, its a little different. Why are you trying to nit pick everything I say? Dont you have something else to go do?

LSG, whether you meant to or not, I think your post was insulting to people who spend "too much time" on a message board. It seems that you didn't think there was anything wrong with the way you phrased your post, nor do you care what many of us think, clearly. Therefore, I'm a bit surprised by your continued responses. However, I'd still like the pics Buccaneer got. K thx ;)

Nah, not really. Just adequately seriously. I'm just answering/commenting honestly. I'm really not particularly upset/bothered/angry/disturbed/whatever by any of this thread (well, hardly anything anyway).

If I gave a particular damn about any of it, there's a better chance there would be ... I dunno ... nuances, subtleties (sp?), angles to be played, etc. Instead, absent any serious amount of giveafuck, I'm just really honest, no b.s., no sugarcoating, just the facts.

I love how everyone seems to think that Jon is taking this entirely too seriously. I'm pretty sure this is about on the same level of seriousness as checking the Thrashers score to see if they won tonight. But it sure is one hell of a fun way to vent stress at someone who asked for it.

However, I think there are huge differences (from what little I know from LSG's post) that don't even make the 2 circumstances comparable. If anything, Mrs. Eaglesfan would be playing the part of GE, and even that is a big stretch.

Just now read the thread....

You were being a total passive agressive asshole by posting this in the first place. I believe that you were banking on the well-known tendency on FOFC (and internet forums in general) for so many to fall all over themselves with flattery any time a *gasp* <i>girl</i> posts anything. When you didn't get the feedback that you counted on, you upped the ante a bit ("I give great head," "I don't wear panties," "Please, please, give me some validation and make my boyfriend look stupid.") but, to both of our surprise, that movement was overshadowed by some very insightful resistance. Props to JMGa for what has to be the first argument he's ever made that I agree with.

Personally, if I had a woman like you, I wouldn't give a fuck if you gave head so damn good the Japanese could hear me moaning. You're a straight-up egotistical bitch who needs to get slapped down in place and see that you ain't all that and a bag of chips, but none of that and a sack of shit.

Personally, if I had a woman like you, I wouldn't give a fuck if you gave head so damn good the Japanese could hear me moaning. You're a straight-up egotistical bitch who needs to get slapped down in place and see that you ain't all that and a bag of chips, but none of that and a sack of shit.

Oh and I would ditch your ass hardcore and book it to the nearest sporting event, because any game would be better than dating your prima donna ass.

Dude, who pissed in your cornflakes? you sound like you have some serious hatred towards women. Completely uncalled for with the name calling. Money loving whore bitches? what the hell?

She might have sounded a little pushy but a couple of you (Izulde in particular) are just sounding like single losers who've been rejected one too many times.

Yeah, he definitely went overboard, but I can't deny that I'm entertained.

I think Izulde really managed to capture what I was trying to say pretty well.
Other than the HA reference (which kinda sailed over my head I think), it's spot on.

[KeyserSoze]

To the original question. My answer. Sex is much better than sports. Period.

Yeah, and no fattening up on my Hawks, the hated Blues, and Blow Jackets like Detroit and Nashville can do.

LSG used the classic "I won't be around so you guys will just have to discuss without me" while posting several times after saying that :)

Gotta agree with KeyserSoze: sex > sports. But sex with a woman who respects your love of sports > sex with a woman who doesn't.

then I wanted to move to Texas, or to where ever I was being offered the most money

To play devil's advocate here...aren't you pretty much stating that $$ >> GE?

I think some of you are not understanding what LSG is saying. In fact, some are going way too far in their acquisitions. I do not see how you can pass judgment on a message board without ever meeting a person. When you read something, it does not come across as clear as it does if you were talking to them. Some of you attack relentlessly without knowing the full story.

It has become pretty clear in this thread that some do spend too much time on a message board. Go out and meet people. Do not spend all day thinking of three paragraph posts about some girl you have never met when you could be out enjoying life instead. Seriously, this thread started out as a joke. Sure, LSG wanted to see some responses. She is not the money-grubbing bitch that some of you making her out to be. If the only way you pass judgment on people is by seeing what they post on a message board, then something is seriously fucked up with you. I mean that in a good way. Go get some freaking help.

It is funny you say that. I never let Internet message boards get to me. I read what JIMG wrote, but it did not bother me. Anyone who has been around FOFC even a remote period of time knows he is just someone who likes to rant about anything. But enough is enough. It is time to lay off her. I think people are trying to run over because they are so frustrated with their own lives that they have to vent on a message board to feel better. It is really a sad life and I am glad I do not live it.

If it was I posting this, it would be an entirely different attitude. Some of you think you are f’ing elitists, but you are really not. You try to run over someone, just because they do not contribute to the community as much as you have. Say what you want HA, but he is not nearly as big as an asshole as some of you are.

By the way, she never said she was going to choose money over me. She has never really been concerned about money. We are college kids, we are hungry for money. We are almost done, so we can taste it. When she said she wanted to follow the money, she meant that she wanted to go together where we could get the best paying jobs. I disagree with her on that and is what started this whole discussion and prompted her to post on this message board. She is not the best explainer of things, but it does not mean you can jump her throat for it.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I don't think anybody's trying to "run over" your girl here. I think they're responding to a person who made some irrational statements, tried to backtrack away from them, and then tried to play it off like she was just funnin'.

I understand you feel an obligation to stand up for her, but you're veering into FranklinNoble territory.

[sterlingice]

Isn't the thread now just rehashing itself?

Izulde's post is just JiMGA's but with swearing and without some of the "prose" now that it's "ok" to go after her.

And now we've started to get multiple posts of "doesn't this mean you just care about money" which was stated way back on page one or at least page two?

Then more "lighten up, Francis"-esque posts.

And now it's just rinse, wash, repeat...

SI

So now we get the "oh we were just kidding" line? Uh huh, we sure do believe you. I guess we were all supposed to drive to Texas to meet your f'd up girlfriend before we passed judgement on her?

She started the thread fucknut. She invited this all on herself. Feel free to break out the "since she's my girlfriend only I can mock her" line since this is obviously where you're going with it...
