Well, Prince William, it's just one of the burdens you bear as a future king. Best of luck with all that.
Well, I have said I live in Fife… :p

Even though it's illegal? :p

ummm.... how can that be a bad thing?

Because you're never left alone?

I do think people are continuing to miss the point - as I see it - of his post, which is that his younger days would have been happier...
...I think he's just trying to tell people to avoid the regret of never acting, that's all...
...It doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. It doesn't mean he doesn't love his family....
...I don't see it as a sign he's about to destroy his family with an affair or whatever...
Bingo
jsw said:
...would have been happier had he acted more on his interests...
...Maybe today isn't his happiest day ever, so he's thinking these thoughts...
Why today? Because my wife just happen to become friendly with a woman through them both having children at the same toddler group and it turns out she was one of the girls I'm talking about, she was laughing about it with my wife who relayed the story to me.

Would I be happier now? Can't see how it would change the present but I'd certainly have been happier then.

I am not missing the point...
...it is all POINTLESS to think about...
...BUT that is life--we all look back and wish we had known things! Geez!!
The point of my post was to use my experience to help others not try to change what I've got now. When my girls are older I'll give them the same advice. Don't turn away trying to get a guy to chase you, just be honest yes I like you, see where it goes or no, but no hard feelings.
macartistkel said:
...I stated he should have not isolated himself away from everyone just because he chose not to drink!...
I didn't isolate myself, I still went out. I just wouldn't force myself on a drunk girl while I was sober. Some of my drunk friends went on when a girl said no and talking, now, to some of those girls it turns out they were saying no but letting the drunk guys carry on so that they could enjoy the moment but turn around in the morning and pass the blame if it didn't work out. Foolish and dangerous, luckily nothing bad ever happen within the group I partied with.

I read your post dude and all it said to me was

"My wife is a lumbering gurner, I wish i'd married someone hotter!"

I'm sure she'd be really touched to read that.

No chit! And I am not trying to piss you off mpw at all, but you do NOT give the impression you are IN LOVE----after falling in love with one person you should want to erase everyone you were ever went out with from your memory--thats how I felt at least.) To waste your time to come on here and discuss THIS matter sounds like to me you are not THAT happy or in love with your wife and its sad you would be angry that you missed some sort of opportunity to score with other women??!! :rolleyes:

Fancy you?

Who are you, Scott Goober?

Haha...exactly.

Sorry, no girl in Jersey is going to say that she "fancied" you.

<snobbish English accent>
Perhaps, my dear mpw, if one could be bothered such to put down his most delectable tea, one my benefit of getting down from such a high horse. Indeed, the ground, as you will find, is much the merrier! Oh how agreeable it is! It will tickle your fancy most asuredly!

mpw said:
The point of this thread is to advise our younger members who are desperately trying to start relationships that, if you like someone TELL THEM. What’s the worst that could happen?

You might want to consider drinking within reason too, the hot chicks love it!

I'm feeling this, i lost someone i like this because I punked out now shes married and happy and i'm here...oh well. If you like em tell em...but watch out cuz they might not like you back and use you for all its worth...feelings are beautiful arent they:(


Bless

Unfortunately that tactic will only make the girls fancy you more...

If you're a total flamer, then they just want to be your friend, and that's fine with me. ;)

i agree...maybe this is not what you meant, but it sounds like it from your word choice. especially when you said you'd be just as happy only earlier, it made me think of this article

Oh great, written like a TRUE PIG!!! :mad:

It would take a lot of people to hold me back from shaking this dude "Bryce W. Brant" like a rag doll and slapping him across his face. What a worthless human being--again, if my husband ever said these things to me I would NEVER speak to him again right after kicking him in the balls! ;)
 
mpw said:
Had I hooked-up with one of them and not my wife I’d still as likely have been just as happy only a lot earlier.

Haha, so your wife isn't really "the one." She's just one of many girls who could have filled the gap. Or maybe you just wanted to fill more gaps when you were younger. I don't know.

Er, you do realise The Onion is satirical, right?
 
mad jew said:
That's excellent advice. Go an' get 'em. I have heaps of male friends who desperately want girls but they don't get out there enough. They don't talk to girls. It's like they expect the girls to just jump into their laps and beg for a date... Crazy kids.

Wait a minute... this tactic doesn't work?

Looks like I have to go out and be "social." ;)

Yeah... what she said!! :mad:

*couldn't have said it better myself*

Satirical or not... I just like being mad about it. Maybe I should've posted this to the angry thread. :D

Geez, people - it's the Onion.

It's whole purpose is to be satirical and inflammatory. It's not intended to be taken seriously. Ever. Please, relax. It's like being angry at Mad Magazine. :rolleyes:

:D Thanks Floriflee! :) And I was thinking if he did mean it (because I seriously never felt the satire at any point during the article) his wife could take it to any divorce lawyer he would be destroyed!! ;)

And I am sure this man's mother is about ready to kill herself if she ever read it---I would not be able to live with myself if I raised a son that was such an a*sshole to women. Yes, this definitely should have been in the mad thread today!! :mad:

maybe so BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF MEN WHO ACTUALLY THINK THIS WAY and don't act like you could not name a few. WE ALL COULD! :mad:

illegal? what are you a teacher? and these are your students?

they're are 365 days in a year ... you've got the time
 
Maybe because it's the Onion it should be implied, but sometimes it's just hard to feel the satire. Then again, perhaps readers of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" didn't feel the satire either. :rolleyes: :D

Ah, well... I was just looking for something to be mad about, and, I agree with macartistkel that there are plenty of people out there who actually think like that. I've seen plenty of Divorce Court during my lunch hour to know it to be so. :eek:
 
jsw said:
Well... yes. That's it's whole purpose.

But sometimes those guys get their just rewards (thanks to iGAV for the link).

Well, maybe 20 years down the road he will think to himself "Well, if she'd been any other goat I may have loved just the same...." ;)

At least he knows she'll never turn into some cow.

** ducks **
 
Yeah, but she still has to worry about him turning into a fat pig. :p

Such a one-sided relationship....:rolleyes:
