I want to go back in time to when there were ladies around.

[tracky]

I want to court a girl with flowers and chocolates and romantic dinner dates, and I want to put my coat down over a puddle so she can cross. I want to open the car door and pull out her chair. She wants to go out and get drunk. I've never actually done any of those things, because I think they're viewed as a bit dorky these days and maybe even a little creepy. Or maybe I just don't know what's what :confused:

[avignon]

I've often wanted to go back to a time when I had to wear a corset and go to school to learn elocution and embroidery and couldn't vote or stand up for myself. Oppression is so romantic.

[tracky]

Yeah I'm all for oppression. WTF are you doing on the computer anyway? Get back in the kitchen before I smack you black and blue

ps. way to miss the point and turn this into some lame ass feminist thing

[avignon]

yes massa!

So anyway, point of your thread, you want to be all chivalrous and shit but you think the wimmins now a days won't dig it. All I can say is, if it's an act, most women will spot it a mile away. If it's sincere, then it's usually accidental and you won't even realize that you've done anything.

edit: So like I typed all of that and was thinking that I couldn't believe you didn't get pissy about my post which was supposed to be goofy anyway, then I saw your edit.

[vickista]

haha, that's not dorky. that's cute. yeah avignon knows wat shes tlking bout.

I was born in the wrong time. I shoulda been a Victorian in a top hat and long coat and whatnot. Before tehnoolgy created alienation and slavery and before Britain had a lilly livereed Govt whose stance on law and order makes Pingu look like the Terminator. Sigh.

yeah but thik of the hygene factor, they only washed liek once a year!

Nyeh (that is a word) I can accept that in return for a world without Sharon Osborne, Robbie Williams, chavs and scallies and post industrial alienation. Even if you throw in disease and poverty, I think I still get the better deal.

[AdRockGRL]

I'd pay to be courted like that.....surely!

[trailerprincess]

I'd happily settle for a returned phone call these days... :(

[tracky]

hey at least you got a number, I don't even get that far

[mikizee]

im a gentleman to everybody. opening doors, letting ppl who look in a hurry cut in line, allllllways say please, thankyou, my pleasure etc, change lanes when a someone in hurry zooms up behind me, or like when im stopped at traffic lights and i can see someone behind me needs to get in the turning lane next to me but my car is slightly blocking it, ill creep forward as far as i can so they can go thru.

what can i say, im a nice guy :D

p.s. what REALLY FUCKS ME OFF tho is when u go out of your way to hold a door open or something for someone, and they just walk thru and make no eye contact and dont even say thanks. no more mr nice guy. i usually yell out 'your welcome, FUCKHEAD.'

[avignon]

I find that extraordinarily hard to believe.

[roosta]

i want to go back in time and see dinosaurs

[trailerprincess]

Honestly, I mostly don't either. I seem to have a secret beacon that only men who neglect to tell me about their gfs seem to pick up.
Hence the lack of willingness to hand over their number/address and probably their real name...

[mikizee]

hey trailerprincess, my names.............. john.

u can call me anytime, but only between 8-4, and never at home in the evenings. just in case someone else picks up.

hahahaha. I'll have a cover story about selling double glazing prepped, no worries (y)

[tracky]

I havn't been on a phone arranged date in many many years. I had to throw in phone arranged because I went on an internet arranged date recently (and that was just terrible. let's just say the photo lied)

This thread was just a veil for me to whinge about my life behind, anyway

[Pres Zount]

i want to go back in time and see dinosaurs
god, I think about that every day.

ps; why would you swap post industrial alienation for the pre industrial kind? jeez.

[discopants]

Hey Avignon, still living with the Pope? You know, the German geezer who definately wasn't a Nazi?

Incidentally:

¡No, no, no la tienta de mente!

HAHAHAHAHAAA!! fuck, bloke i feel for ya :p

[paul jones]

I can go back in time on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 all the time(y)

Did I tell you about the big mole she had right in the middle of her chest where the cleavage ended. That was the third thing I saw. And she had like a necklace which kind of pointed to it. And there was hairs growing out of it. And. Yeah you get the idea. Think Austin Powers. I guess it's good that it was out there at the start and not to be discovered later.

[Tzar]

ohhhh *shudders*
one of my ex's had terrific boobs; perfect size for her body and almost every guy that went to my school admired them.. and me soon after :cool: but!! she did have one or two or ten small hairs right in between of them. (n)

[tracky]

See this is what I mean. A lady shouldn't allow an entire school to admire her boobs. I dunno. Maybe I'm just getting old. I do have grey hairs, u know :(

[discopants]

^ I deffo agree.

Anyone else think that the importance of life is dubious considering the lack of proof this is real. I mean, this could be the matrix or a bad dream or summat.

I personally yearn for more innocent times before we lived in an atomised society of total bastards.

[Tzar]

she wasn't admired after i told 'em all what i just told you lolz :cool:

[QueenAdrock]

Some of that's sweet, some cheesy. Opening doors, flowers, chairs, all sweet. Coat in the puddle, not so much. They can walk around the puddle. Unless it's a huge freakin' puddle that's almost a lake, in which case your jacket wouldn't do much anyways.

I try to be feminine but oftentimes just end up being boy-like when I'm not paying attention. Brett was fascinated with the fact that I watch TV with my hand down my pants.

Most women I've known really appreciate a certain level of chivalry. Not full on, 100% creepy chivalry, where they're treated like porcelain dolls in every circumstance -- but genuine, non-patronizing courtesy. (y)

Yes.

[Echewta]

I do that and until recently, wasn't taken seriously. Awww, what a nice guy. He can be my friend!

[Dorothy Wood]

as I'm not much of a lady, I don't really expect to be treated as such...but I do appreciate courtesy.

[tracky]

We went for a walk along the beach and then to the pub for a beer, best of both worlds (y) I think I'm in the "just friends" barrel again, but it was a nice day anyway
