24/7 shenanigans with Shaquille O'Neal

I’m doing alright on that front. I just keep my distance and take care of things myself. Honestly, it’s way easier that way. Fewer headaches. But damn, it’s frustrating. How can someone be that physically attractive?! There’s this one girl nearby that whenever I see her, I just want to grab a baseball bat. It's unreal! After everything we went through, here I am again. But look, I'm handling it. And it's not even about wanting to sleep with her—though that's fine too. It's more than that. I'd seriously want to just grab her by the hand and walk through the city wherever she wanted to go. 🤦

🤣

Dammit, Joe, did you actually tell her that?

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF!

It doesn't even cross my mind. I know exactly where that road leads. With my luck, I'll be heading into a second marriage before I know it. And then what? A third one a few years later? 🤔I just don't get women. Never have. And honestly, I don't want to deal with it. Let's be real here. She is way too gorgeous for her own good! You know how she looks?! It's insane. I lose my head completely. I don't even know what day it is. Not at my age, after everything I've been through. But look, I see it coming. I almost fell for it. At the last second, though, I looked away and spotted this chubby janitor nearby, so I headed over to the local pub just to shake her off. Some biological instinct, I guess. It’s scary. What about you? Can you actually keep things strictly physical? Because if I start down that path, I'm going straight to the altar!🤦

Haha 🤣 What on earth did your mom do to you? 🤣 Why would anyone feel forced into marriage, seriously!?

It’s not just about sex, for crying out loud. You either love someone or you don't. Personally, I don't see myself getting married, no matter how I look at it—even though I think marriage itself is a solid, positive thing. It makes sense.

I honestly don't get you. Are you scared? Or are you just clueless when it comes to women? In what way?

Nah man, I hear you. It’s the same exact thing. I can’t just hook up with someone and walk away like nothing happened. It’s just not in my DNA. Never has been. I’ve always needed that part where you hold hands after sex. To actually lose your mind a little. I hope you aren't heading down that path. That's a recipe for disaster. But hey, we'll see how things look in 20 years. You gotta build a life first.🍿

Look, the whole point is that you don't actually have to go.

I mean, I could, but honestly? I wouldn't call that an advantage.

Hey, stormytinker40. I just popped over from nearby New Jersey to see what you've got going on.
..sex and food. Sounds good to me. 😁

I can, but I wouldn't call that an advantage.

Excuse me? Yeah, you definitely have to! It's better to just get it over with from the jump. I wish I could just deal with it internally. I'm positive my head would be in a much better place.🍿

Hey coastalwolf87! Welcome to the party. Make yourself at home. Kick off your shoes, grab some snacks. You looking for some action? Here's a few options for you.

Grace Sanders24, man, I don't know. What am I supposed to do, find some hooker and pay her? Is that what you want? You actually think you’d fall for her!? 🤦

Listen to this crap. I woke up a little while ago, checked my phone, and saw all these greetings popping up—except for nothing from this idiot I've been texting. It was driving me insane, so I hopped on WhatsApp and hid my "last seen" status just to check, and sure enough, this dummy was online ten minutes ago and didn't even wish me a Merry Christmas. I mean, seriously, what an absolute jerk. Unbelievable. Am I really the one who has to go first? Seriously? REALLY? Goddammit. Fine. She’s getting a greeting from me at 11:58 PM, and only because I don't want to feel like a total loser.

I hate WhatsApp. I hate texting. And I hate these kinds of brainless people. And get this: she was the one who reached out to me first. She started it. Now, somehow, I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting.

Nah, I don't think so. I'd just take her to the movies.
Is she really hitting you that hard with her writing that you've started acting like a jerk toward her? You acting suspicious? And you’re playing the "hard to get" card? Is that why you didn't wish her a happy Christmas? 🤔
P.S. What's coastalwolf87 on about? You already trying to move in on her?

Yeah, there are people like that—they pay the price and then try to play house. I get what you mean, though. I really do.

The only thing I can't wrap my head around is this: if she was already on that FaceTime call before me, why the hell didn't she say congrats? What’s the deal? 1. Did she just totally blank on me? (Unbelievable, seriously.) 2. Is she playing some waiting game, waiting for me to congratulate her first so she can act all... "oh, wow, thanks"? 3. Or does she just not give a damn about me?

coastalwolf87 is actually a pretty cool cat on this forum.

There's no way I'd ever pay for her. You said someone else was picking up the tab. If that were the case, maybe I'd take her to a movie just to make the night feel worth what she was getting paid.
Maybe she's thinking exactly like you are?
Alright. If you say it's cool, then it's cool. 🍿

Give him a break, why the sudden hostility? I actually really like stormytinker40 because he’s incredibly generous and totally upfront about everything. Plus, he isn't toxic at all—he's actually got real class and spirit. Just saying.

Total 5 out of 5. I just had to run a little background check to make sure no one was trying to use him. You're cleared! Feel free to start flirting whenever you're ready. You seem cool.🍿

Man, I see how this works with you. You just shut them down, and then they end up quoting your wisdom in their signatures. A total trophy hunter, huh? 🍿

stormytinker40, that’s the deal with that little vocabulary of yours; showing interest is a good start, but it shouldn't be the end of it. You guys mess up, and then we all pay for it. You need to step up and get serious. Look, you're hunters—act like it, even if you're just starting out.

coastalwolf87 said:Yeah, I see how it works with you. You school everyone, then they end up quoting your wisdom in their signatures. Total trophy hunter, huh? 🍿

Whoa! So you guys actually track my work on here? I'm flattered. But look, you gotta get one thing straight. I don't collect trophies; I build legacies. That's the big difference, and it's all about my integrity. 🍿

Holy hell! 🍿 I can practically smell the tension in the air. 😁

Heaven help me, if I ever had to marry any of you 🙂

Grace Sanders24, uh, I don't really follow the thread, it just caught my eye while scrolling through some cat photos. I love seeing what people are actually into—I'll even click on links just to see. That’s why I don't post anything about myself anymore; it feels like I'm walking around without any underwear... or like I'm just flashing my boxers to the world. 😳
