I had the new one laughing so much she told me her stomach hurt for 2 days. Laughter releases endorphins. Endorphines make one happy. They will associate you with being happy. Win.

I'm starting to feel like Charlie Daniels should be called in here. Wait......a fiddle? Aren't you from Canada? I thought the instrument was a violin, unless you're from the south eastern U.S., then it's fiddle. |

Life can be a cruel thing. Most of my childhood I was teased, mocked or put down because of being smart. I remember one of the first parties I went to when I was about 16 that wasn't a "mums and kids birthday party" we were talking in groups out back where it was fairly dark. Having a nice chat with everyone there then someone asks something that triggers everyone to say their name as none of us really knew each other. As soon as I said my name - "Xxxx - you're that brainy bastard from the Boys College!!". I remember that because it's stuck with me for the last 35 years. Was like a kick in the nuts at the time, but that's my life. So I have very low expectations of people - meaning I expect them to stab me in the back or kick me when I'm down at some point. I can count true friends on one hand. Quote:
And when I say he hates everyone, he hates everyone only at first - except kids. He hates them forever. They're just mobile dogfood to him. Most of my friends I tell them to sit on the couch, he's going to be excitable and agitated and flit back and forth between us for a bit, but give him 10 minutes and he'll be sitting on your lap. Just don't try to pat him until I say so, and if you offer a hand for him to sniff fold your fingers in out of the way. He does and will bite if he feels threatened. So far he's gotten to know 3 or 4 workmates who end up here occasionally, my detailer, my builder, and even 2 of my friends - one hates dogs, one hates small dogs, and both said he's really quite cute and sweet when he's quiet and over his shit. So he's a mixed bag - and just one more thing I have to deal with. Along with building a house, trying to title 4 cars all with small problems on the paperwork, keeping my friends alive, keeping the company rolling along, and not going totally insane. Dating is just another task I don't think I need right now hence my lack of interest in making the effort. |

Even work have tried to get me to record videos talking about the technology and things we do, but aside from not wanting to be on camera, I don't think I've done anything special. Any number of people could have done the same thing, I just happened to be the one in the hot seat who decided to try. Also, I'm not sure I like him or his methods. I've seen his dogs - they appears to be miserable and subservient. I've seen them walking behind them like they were walking the Green Mile. I know dogs are pack animals and need an alpha (which might be another issue - perhaps Jazz thinks he's more of a man than I am?) but his dogs look so defeated. When my dog runs up and leaps on my lap with a cheeky grin on his face and looks so pleased with himself, I know he's happy. |

You're telling me I should follow everyone's advice. Where was your "hell yeah everyone - I'll kick him to the curb"? I think you're going to see him again right? |

I thought the same. Prove us wrong Sara. Show us that women aren't really attracted to men just because they are assholes. This looks like a perfect opportunity for a toxic relationship. "Everything was great until he punched the waiter in the face, for not offering water, on our first date."

I don't know how this concept will work with your dog and strangers, but it might be worth checking with the vet about their opinion and options for skipping the waiting room.....

On the bright side, he loves being around strangers, and is the biggest flirt around women. Like I've said, he's the perfect wing-dog for a single guy looking to meet women. That's probably why my DW won't let me walk him alone.....

I think that she's more concerned about losing her dog to a new mommy.....

Most are. It takes a strong-willed/minded woman to resist the urge of the asshole. It's almost as if they are hardwired to be attracted to this mentality. I've watched it happen my entire life. Mother, sister, ex's, friends, etc.

We're just calling a spade a spade. It's unfortunate, but as a whole very true. The phrase "Nice guys finish last" came from somewhere, after all. Define dysfunctional. |

I also feel like those that think they have their shit together should re-evaluate. I just call shit the way that I observe it. How else am I to form opinions? |
