Grow up. Co- Habitate: to share space. Period.
If you needed a dictionary perhaps you need to re examine where you are at in your life.Give me a break or give it a rest. |

Carrie and Meandtheboys<
Here's a snippet from Law.com:
"cohabitation
n. living together in the same residence, generally either as husband and wife or for an extended period of time as if the parties were married. Cohabitation implies that the parties are having sexual intercourse while living together, but the definition would not apply to a casual sexual encounter. Legal disputes have arisen as to whether cohabitation would refer to same sex partners, which is important to those involved since "cohabitation" is the basis of..."
I cut off the whole piece because it's boring law-talk and I figure you only read the first sentance anyhow.
Meandtheboys and Carrie, checking your past posting history neitherof you is particularly bright.
NO offense!!!

Still haven't hurt my feelings, watertroll. But I'm confident you'll keep trying.
Here's a hint: I know I am none of the things you like to believe I am or seem to get off on accusing me of, so therefore I just have to laugh everytime you try.
Something tells me your not so great at face-to-face interpersonal relationships either. But like you said, don't get me started. |

Dear Meandtheboys,
There are certain things men desire in women, and certain things men find unattractive. In order to successfully meet men (las's raison de thread), it's important that I share this with her. OK?
las,
To maximize your attractiveness to men, and thus increase the liklihood of a successful first meeting, you need to minimize the "no-nos" of successful dating. Here are hard and fast rules:
1) Lose the FUP. (For those that don't know what a FUP is, you can look it up, or ask me.)
2) Absolutely no bad bleach-blond dye-jobs with black roots. BLEEEAAACCCHHHHHH. Big no-no.
3) Lose the bitchy attitude.
4) Try to sound like you know what you're talking about.
5) Bring a pocket dictionary with you at all times. You will either impress guys with your vocabulary, or attract guys who like dimwits.
6) Show off your keen wit. If you meet a guy you like, make up funny puns or jokes about his name.
7) Dress like a frump in mommy-jeans and an "I-give-up" 'do, ya know to play really hard to get.
Dr. Arthur Curry |

In order to successfully meet men (las's raison de thread)...
Actually, my query is about how to approach a stranger. But, thanks to your input I will most certainly rethink my decision to obtain a bad bleach-blond dye-job with black roots.

"In order to successfully meet men (las's raison de thread)...

Okay, I'm confused now. I thought the title of this thread was How to Pick Up a Man. Does that mean "how to approach a stranger" or does it mean "how to successfully meet men"?
My thought is the latter. ANyway, I say "no" to girlie cutesie games unless you want a guy who likes the kind of girl who is girlie and cutsie-gamish and you are willing to keep up the girlie twirl your hair thing for more than one night.
HOWEVER, YOu can always send a guy a beer from your whole table of girls (whether it's you and a friend or more than one friend) and if he comes over, great! You can talk about any old thing that strikes your fancy because you've been drinking!! Once he settles in with you and your gal pals, the gal pals can go home and you and he can stay if so inclined.
If he doesn't come over and just nods to say "thanks" then who cares, he's a moron.

I guess I broke Aquaman's fourth rule:
4) Try to sound like you know what you're talking about.
Having thought even more about this than my usual all-night obsessive fixation, I believe I can now articulate what I want to know is how to approach an MOI (Man of Interest). Actually go up and talk to him. |

I'll probably get slammed for this (not to be confused with flattened), but it's not strange when a single woman has cats, but I do find it a little odd when single men have cats.... Probably just me. |

LilB, I don't disagree with you totally. I have found it odd when single men have female cats. Don't ask me why.
OK, I will tell you why. Because I went out once with a guy who had a female kitten, and he had all sorts of shortcomings, so now I have that association forever.

Well, Ms. Pipper, it *IS* off topic, but, since you asked:
for a number of years I've had dry Januaries. Sometimes my drinking and other intoxicant use get out of hand and need to be reined in, so-to-speak. Stopping for a month confirms that, yes, I can stop. Also, it gets me re-focused on exercise and healthful living and I lose a few pounds in the process.
Cleansing my soul....? Nah, that'll never happen.
I'm always glad I've done it but... yes, it sucks. This year it wasn't too bad, maybe cuz I was sick for the first 10 days or so of the month with some crappy virus. There were only a few evenings where I sighed and said, "Gosh, gee willickers, I sure could go for an icy, delicious Seagrams 7 on the rocks."
And here it is, the 2nd and I still haven't imbibed. |

Hey LAS! You could always use the BEER trick...
BEER WARNING!!!
Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer."
The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large "kegs" . Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex.
Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that "something bad" occurred.
At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as "a relationship." In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage." Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.
Please! Forward this warning to every male you know. If you fall victim to this "Beer" scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the phone book.

Aquaman: In response to your above statement to me and in reference to your list above on how to meet men, I have one question for you:
How do you meet women?
You are a man, right?
And, honestly, your reference to not being "bright" would imply by your list you prefer the non bright ones who can carry a dictionary and dress like a frump, whatever that means.
ps. And quoting Dr A. Curry is a giveaway.
No offense, of course.

Las, thanks for advice. I didn't catch he was married the first time, when you first mentioned this.
Perhaps he's seperated? Perhaps he's not staring for the reasons you think? Perhaps he's looking for a third? I would pretend he's invisible next time. What do you think?

Actually, that's not a bad intro line. Just bump into a man of interest and tell him how nice it is to see him again.
Oddly, I had no problem turning to the man sitting next to me on the PATH train the other morning and saying, 'I believe you were in my kindergarden class.' That wasn't a line, he really was. And he remembered me, too! |
