I don't know if this is a Homer quote or not, but it's good. Reminds me of the Graduate. Fuck her mother, then stalk her, and she's yours.

It helps if you interrupt her wedding to someone else when you declare your undying love for her -- chicks dig that (the Graduate, Ed, Four Weddings and a Funeral*, et cetera).

*Or is my memory fading? Did High just want to tell Andie that when she married kilt boy? Hmmm.

If this is the intent behind that rule, I stand corrected. There is nothing worse than a woman who tries to mold you into just what she wants.

BR(3 rejections without a counter invitation from the rejector mean they don't want to go out with you and it is not a scheduling conflict, so there is no need to ask why)C

Some guys you have to bash over the head to get them to understand that you would be receptive to going out. This rule discriminates against the clueless.

It's too bad too, since the type of person reading and listing rules like these, that they will apply to their dating lives, is similarly clueless. Another match made in heaven goes up in smoke.

You're right. My bad. Age, fragility, that sort of shit.

I thought it was Garp's wife who bit his pecker off, but as Thurgreed pointed out, I was not even mostly correct.

The thing about the Playboy story was impressive though (assuming you were correct about that)

Does this mean that you won't have coffee with me when I come to TCOTU?

In other news, I haven't heard that Trevor Linden strangled Gary Bettman, so I am hopeful. I may even go rent "Slapshot" tonight.

2. I will not go out with a man who keeps me waiting by the phone.

3. I will not go out with a man who isn't sure he wants to date me.

4. I will not go out with a man who makes me feel sexually undesirable. [Duh.]

5. I will not go out with a man who drinks or uses drugs to an extent it makes me feel uncomfortable.

6. I will not be with a man who is afraid to talk about our future.

7. I will not under any circumstances spend my precious time with a man who has already rejected me.

8. I will not date a man who is married.

9. I will not be with a man who is not clearly a good, kind, loving person.
For people who really want to live by such rules, there's a short version printed on a small card you can carry in your pocket that simply says:

I will not go out.

Let's not forget the genesis for the whole stupid thing - an episode of Sex and the City. Anyone who applies anything from that show to a real relationship deserves what she gets. The show was entertaining, not illuminating.

Yes. And, under the rules, Big was just not that into Carrie (married, left her waiting by the phone, won't talk about the future, rejected her, blah blah blah).

Did anyone bring that up on Oprah?

I have a splinter. Ow.
