I live in fear of 'humble hunk with a heart' entering stage left anytime soon, THAT'S why I'm dating guys like Fancy Pants.<BR/><BR/>paine: Ah, there you go showing off again - look, stop trying to make me wish I could find a guy like you who pays attention and cares! I'm not emotionally mature enough to handle that anyway. On a slightly separate note, the 'warm body' thing does get old eventually, but that's what breaking up is for.

For example: Several years back, when my girl and I started going out, I decided to get her some jewelry. It was, very specifically, to mark my territory. With that in mind, it must be marked with dignity, understanding, and appreciation for the canvas which one is adorning. My gal is not extroverted, so the item had to be understated or the marking would go unaccomnplished because she would not wear it. It had to match her skin tone, because women have different colored skin and some colors don't match. Lots of things come into play. That said, if he has glossed over you enough to ignore the facets of your personality that manifest themselves in your daily appearance, like...a necklace you wear en perpetua, then perhaps you are being faced with a reality. If a person you are with cannot absorb the details they serve little purpose. Is a "warm body" that comforting when faced with the thin and characterless knowledge that a person does not pay attention to the substance of your life? Hey, I am as human as the next person, and male to boot so I would fuck anything that walked slow enough. Still, after a given period of time, the lack of emotional connectivity in a relationship makes sex little more than masturbation. A vibrator, at least, won't show up handing you poorly conceived gifts that detail just how little attention they pay to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963940430516650019.post-20585747374065927152008-05-06T16:17:00.000-04:002008-05-06T16:17:00.000-04:00Reply to Redhead's comment to Paine: Phew, there's...Reply to Redhead's comment to Paine: Phew, there's still hope. I still live in fear (not really, just roll with the joke) of a day when scientists create sex-bots that are superior to a living, breathing man, and the women finally exile us male slackers to a sexless existence living in caves and eating raw meat. j/k<BR/><BR/>Reply to Redhead's comment to me:<BR/>Ok, good, I think that's a fair analogy.

Just tell the bartender to give you a Tom Collins with Grey Goose. A TC is a prohibition drink. The idea being that people would mix it together with their bathtub gin and appear to be drinking lemonade and not smell drunky. A Collins is a a great warming weather drink, and adds to any time spent eating or socializing outdoors while sitting down.<BR/><BR/>You man is trying to mark his territory. You just got a new, giant pink vibrator, can't you get rid of him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963940430516650019.post-26283901696827284622008-05-06T09:22:00.000-04:002008-05-06T09:22:00.000-04:00john: I try.

Try again. <BR/><BR/>anon: I can't return it without telling him why, and I kind of want to stay away from any serious/meaningful conversations between us (which talk of my current necklace might bring up)...I'm such a commitment-phobe.<BR/><BR/>mcb: On the surface he is a total romance novel guy (I don't deny that), but he doesn't have the deep down 'quality' factor to be the leading guy - he's more the secondary character who occupies the leading chick's time for a little while before she comes to her senses. Damn, I need a life. <BR/><BR/>jill: See above. As for returning the necklace for store credit or regifting - I know this is going to come as a shock, but I'm not actually mean enough to do that (I know, it is surprising). I'll...figure something out. In the meantime, glad you're doing well.

And either tell him you love the necklace you already wear everyday so he can switch it for you or try and get store credit and get something else...? OR it could make a lovely gift to someone else....who says you can't regift? :) And I know you didn't want to know anyway, but I'm great, thanks for asking.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009141264913117347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963940430516650019.post-60480781666322249492008-05-05T19:20:00.000-04:002008-05-05T19:20:00.000-04:00So at what point is someone going to point out tha...So at what point is someone going to point out that Fancy Pants bears a striking resemblance to, well, nearly every leading man in every romance book ever?
