A friend of mine runs with her company's running team, where she met a coworker she took a fancy too. He too seemed quite smitten by her. Since they're both very sporty, they agreed to go on a cross country skiing trip together for one week and share the same room.
This is something I'd never do without knowing a person well, but she is a bit inexperienced, not having had a boyfriend before. And she had decided that she was being too picky and that she would in future try and be more relaxed and have fun together with guys. So anyway, when she came back she had a whole laundry list of off-turners. Very few of these things were actually bad by themselves but as a whole it seems like a very non-enjoyable trip. - as soon as he got into her car, he grabbed her Calvin & Hobbes book and read it from start to finish, leaving her to navigate the road by herself. - Apparently, he only reads comics. The man is 40 years old and has never heard of "A Christmas Carol" because he doesn't read. - Throughout the trip, he kept telling her about the female friends he was going on vacations with and how cool they are. - during the cross country skiing, the sauna and basically everything he had to prove that he was faster and stronger than her.And he got grouchy when she turned out to be better than him at some things. - Even though he knew she was completely stressed out and overworked because of her overzealous work ethic, he kept bragging about how he spends his working days playing computer games and how he shirks work (they work in the same company!) - When he wanted to share more than the room with her and she said it was too fast for her he said "but why? I like your body." - The very first night, he pulled out an enormous plush snake, announced that it's name was Hermione, and proceeded to cuddle it. All night. - He stopped talking to her on the way back because she refused to let him drive her car. I'm not sure if she was ticked off at me for laughing, but the idea of a guy who wants to have sex with a girl but taking an enormous plush toy with him to cuddle at night...well, never heard anything like it! __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

It's the fact that it had a name that finished me off! If it wasn't the fact that this trip was probably quite expensive (time as well as money), I would suspect this all of being a very very elaborate practical joke on your friend. Except that there really are men out there like that. Alo: men who are threatened by competent women? Not sexy at all. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

That's strange, I like successful women.
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Yeah, most guys do, these days. At least most that I know. But especially with very sporty people I guess the competitiveness is there. __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

Apparently acceptance of girl power by suitors is on the rise. Though I remember reading recently that successful women tend to have a much harder time finding and maintaining relationships with men for assorted reasons. Add to that rhe fact that women make up the majority of grad and post-grad degrees in pursuit today and you get an even greater difficulty finding a basket to put your eggs in. Not that I would know anecdotally.

Can I just say, the title of this thread makes me automatically think, "Well, I'm not into coprophilia so why would I read this thread?"

Believe it or not, he really is walking on air Member  |
At least he has good taste in comics.
See, this is why watching television is important. That's how I learned about all the classics, through muppets and cartoons and such.
Merely trying to establish that other women trust him with their persons.
Well, no one wants to lose to a girl!

A compliment is usually a good way to initiate coitus, or so I've heard.
He, um, OK let me get back to you on that one.
Well, she wouldn't be able to give him head if *she's* driving. That's just unsafe.
If you prick a stuffed animal lover, does he not bleed? If you tickle him, does he not laugh? If you get bit by his plush poisonous snake, does he not suck out the venom? Anyway, at least it wasn't a plush AIDS virus. |

*mutters something about Bishi and says nothing more*
Calvin & Hobbes is excellent comics reading. And for the record you can learn a lot from comics these days. The good ones anyway. *is not biased  *That aside, for dating behaviour that pretty much sucks, and I think it's pretty clear they aren't suited for each other, to put it mildly.

A friend of mine knit me a plush rhinovirus. It still needs a name.

we could always take a freudian approach to the snake thing and suggest that perhaps he is very deeply in denial. yes?

and he named it Hermione... somehow I doubt after the daughter of Helen and Menelaus.
I have really creepy friends who have been lusting after Emma Watson since the second movie. They're in their late twenties.

This made me laugh so hard. Poor boy! The interwebs are full of slash stories which feature Harry Potter flinging himself into Snape's arms because Snape is the only one who isn't impressed with the celebrity power of the Boy Who Lived, and Harry wants to be loved for himself. Awww! On the other hand, a while back I caught an appearance by Daniel Radcliffe on some chat show, Jonothan Ross or something, where he was asked if it bothered him that girls might only be interested in him because he was famous. He beamed like a lighthouse and said "I'm 17! I don't care why girls are interested in me - I'm just glad they are! It's brilliant!" A rather refreshing attitude, I thought. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

To be fair, it is a fairly normal name in germanspeaking countries. Even if it's a name chiefly associated with thinlipped elderly spinsters. As to plush toys - hey, I've got a whole zoo at home. But I wouldn't take a toy to cuddle along if I was hoping to cuddle a real live human person! And as to comics, nothing against comics...but ONLY comics? __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

random tangent: When I drove Giabow and Limertilly to the yarn shop, Limer sat in the back seat - which is Devlin's Domain (although I had somewhat cleaned it) and there's a Calvin & Hobbes book back there. Limer pounced on it and read them out to us.
