Advice for young people

YOUNG PEOPLE

YOU have "heard it all" from all those OLD PEOPLE.....

Soooooo......here is the "real skinny" from an OLD GUY.

Guys

You will NOT "get lucky" with ANY barkeep.....those women have heard it all....

You will NOT "get lucky" with a woman "in a bar" unless she has a little friend to give you that you will have for the rest of your life, no matter what the lefty elites try to tell you to get your vote.

Gurls

You will not meet the "guy of your dreams" in a bar, but you will meet plenty of guys that are more than willing to:

a) let you have a kid that he will disavow
b) give you a "little friend" that he got from SOME OTHER GURL
c) let you drive him to his apartment so he can vomit in your car.

So.....

Moral to the story.

The best path for a REAL RELATIONSHIP is:

a) Do not try to get into bed with the girl or guy of the night, especially when you are drugged up or drunk
b) Maybe actually try to meet a "nice" person in:

i) bookstore
ii) coffee shop
iii) church social
iv) yoga class
v) jogging/marathon/whatever for a cause/ runner
vi) Wal-Mart in the clothing section, because that person was WORKING and might actually have a LIFE....that is PRODUCTIVE....
vii) trade school/community college/ college / university WHO WAS NOT A COMPLETE NERD...OR A .......YEECH.......... Sophisticated elite, kewl guy, (notice that there is not problem with a sophisticated kewl WOMAN/GIRL) ..actually on the face of it ... a nerd meeting a nerd...ok...GO FOR IT...
viii) a person in FBLA/FACS/FFA/SIFE......
ix) U.S.A. dance....... if he or she can actually INTERACT with you on a dance floor over three MONTHS.......then go to Waffle House after the dance...and see where it goes...GO FOR IT!!!!!

Please notice that this post does not mention a dating site.

If anyone has actually met someone at a dating site and become married to that person, as opposed to living in a "liberated relationship", please so post.

But, for a relationship between two true nerds a remote control app will be more than sufficient... Sex is all mental anyway... just think of the joy you'd experience letting her control your keyboard from afar!

Note to us Old Farts:

Young people never really listen to old ones about life, the universe, and everything. They have to learn and experience it. Us telling them these sorts of (mostly) true adages goes in one ear and out the other

As to meeting the man of your dreams in a bar, well tell that to my sister-in-law, she'll laugh at you silly and reminisce on the tale that is about 25 years old now........

As to the internet, I know I will bet trashed for saying it, but nowadays with high speed connections, voip and video capabilities and various social aspects to the 'net that have evolved, the online component cannot be downplayed anymore.

That's redundant.

The Atlantic Monthly: Is Facebook making us lonely? -- good read.

There is medical evidence (studies) that show that for some autistic's, social interaction over the Internet is actually beneficial, as it provides a medium for personal interaction that is 'safe'. Other groups of people benefit as well. Those who suffer from extreme agoraphobia are able to 'communicate/socialize' in safety from their self imposed cloistered environment.
