there's a keeper!
How is that an FML, it sounds like great fun... It's better than no date, trust me, I know :(
i have one question. did he have his flippy floppies? |the kid|
Better than being at Keinkos straight flippin copies.
25 - You seriously look like The Thing. You know, from the Fantastic Four? Just sayin'.
It's kinkos. I've only seen a kinkos in one state. Wonder where lonely island is from?
I don't know why everyone's saying she's stuck up for wanting her first date to be a little better than trashy. You know, next time he can just invite her to his trailer with mom and eighth step-dad and lots of barefoot kids so they can chew some tobacco and go ahead and get hitched. Then I guess she's a bitch for having just a little bit of ******* standards. People are supposed to try to impress each other. Not to the point of being fake or just outlandish, but for god's sake, he could show an ounce of class.
"Then I guess she's a bitch for having just a little bit of ******* standards." Classy!
I'd like to point out that, "Hey man, you take this too seriously" is not a valid refutation to any of the points that Intoxicunt has made. Stupid people and trolls make irrelevant comments. Smart people understand that if you're going to make a comment to someone else, you should be prepared to defend your contentions in a mature and logical manner, or else detach yourself from the conversation and stop responding. Maybe I'm sheltered. Maybe the average person is well-represented by the internet. But my gosh, I hope that it's not (excluding trolls, even).
I agree. If the internet were an accurate representation of everyone, my god, the world would be full of the most intolerable people (self included)! I totally agree with your comment, and I'm glad someone gets it and doesn't see my comment as, "Blah blah blah freak out I'm sincerely upset blah blah." The internet is anonymous. I daresay everyone acts at least a little different when anonymous (and when you know you won't really hurt anyone) than they would otherwise. Hell, people here say my pic is ugly. They may think that; or they may be trying to offend me. Either way, I highly doubt they would just go to a random stranger on the street and call them ugly. >_>
Well put, I was going to say something along the lines of this. but less funny. and now you've already said it for me :)
That was to #26 btw..
People AREN'T supposed to try to impress each other? So, I should go out on my first date with someone as I am now. My hair isn't brushed, nor my teeth, I'm in pajamas, my legs aren't shaved, and my shirt is kind of dirty. So...I should just proudly plop myself down like that in front of someone and expect them to just fall in love? I disagree. I think people are supposed to put their best foot forward. Like I said, not being fake. I'm not going to pretend I'm older, went to a better school, or even try to use words I don't normally use. But I'm going to show them a good time and not make them run screaming down the street.
Um, hi? Hello, anyone? This is the internet. Not real life. I'll repeat. Internet. My other comment got gobbled up, apparently. Anyway, I'm showing my worst side to the internet ON PURPOSE. Because it's not real life. It's absolutely asinine to assume people are the same online as they are in person. I'm enjoying how all of you people are jumping on me for stating an opinion, and honestly, I'm enjoying arguing. I don't argue much in person. But it's fun to sort of vent when I don't know any of you and will probably never talk to you again. TL;DR - You're making a huge mistake if you think you know my personality based on FML posts. Really.
What AM I trying to do? I'm expressing an opinion; one most of the world happens to share. Best foot forward and all that. I'll take you up on that puff, but trust me, I'm relaxed as it is.
hahah couldn't agree more Mr_Zachary... Miss Web Fighter needs to chill the f*$k out :)
so, he obviously didn't have extra pants, happened to me too before, when all where being washed. not everyone owns a closet full of pants. should he have sent her home then? wait for his pants to dry or be washed?instead he tried to save the evening and hoped she would still have a good time, even though he had a little accident..
*that was supposed to go to 'miss webfighter' (xD)
Are...are you stalking me, princess? >_> And yet again, I am chilled out. In fact, I'm loving this. You guys are the ones that seem to be taking it seriously, what with thinking this is a real representation of me and my mood. Other person whose name I'm far too lazy to scroll for: I made a ton of friends on here back when I was a bit nicer. Now I just use the comments to be as un-PC and uncouth as possible. Not quite a troll, but just an extreme antagonist. It's stress relief and entertainment. Don't take it to heart. I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just .... not trying not to. :D
That is a pretty ignorant statement. For all you know this guy could be a Rockefeller and is just a bit eccentric. Some of the things were a bit odd but none implied he was trailer trash. Some people aren't always trying to impress others, it's called modesty. You should give it a try some time.
"It's called modesty. You should give it a try sometime." Lol. Again with the thinking internet=reality. I won't repeat myself on that. However, I will tell you that I purposely used exaggeration to show how people don't want their date to be so meaningless and lame. I thought it was very obvious that that was a huge exaggeration. Oh well, guess not. :) Ohh, and thank you person. It's a pain in my ass, but I wanted it since I was 13, so I feel like getting my money's worth out of it. DANGER. FIRE. WEEEOOHHHHH. Sorry. >_> Reply to person below me (I can tell the future!): Yes, I'm quite done. Now to post more controversial comments in other FMLs! It is fun. I'm bored. I'm watching Degrassi. >_
Trolling aside, I find nothing wrong with speaking your mind, regardless of how it comes across and whose immature feelings are provoked. But expect backlash from those who can't properly form an opinion and use derogatory comments to channel that negative energy. With that being said, I am the kind of person agrees with putting one's best foot forward when meeting someone; however that's not necessarily the best way to have a good date. Some people, like OP's date, obviously prefer to be down to earth and completely honest about who they are. I love that. I would go on a second date.
that argument was useless., wht did you guys win? zit cream? well congratulations...
No, it was entertainment for me. I love arguing online. I can't (and won't) be a total **** in person, so this is perfect. No one gets hurt over what some chick on FML says (or dear god I hope not) so it's the perfect place to get all my arguing urges out or just entertain myself. But if we're claiming prizes, I could use a rubber band.
so you pick fights on the internet because you don't have the balls to do it in person.... i think this guy is pretty cool, he needs at least one more pair of pants...but going shopping for him could be a second date. i also think that he is gutsy enough to show OP what Wilhelm is normally like, rather than putting up a front by trying to impress her.
yeah somebody's panties are in a wad....why are you so defensive? Jesus!
No, I pick 'fights' (in this case I stated my opinion and the arguments found me) because no one here is getting offended. Or, like I said, I sincerely hope not. It's nice to be able to be crass and blunt sometimes, because I won't do it in person. Go ahead and say that means I don't have guts, but really, what would you say about someone who DID start fights with people in real life? In real life, I wouldn't look at a random stranger and say, "Hey, you misspelled that word. Asshole." but it's ok to say it here, because they don't give a ****. I'm not one to hurt people, and if that makes me spineless, then so be it. But I think we could all use an escape from being so polite and politically correct. I'm not being defensive, I just really LOVE debating and passionately stating my opinion. I love it so much I sit around and wish someone would disagree with me so I could have a good thought provoking debate. Maybe that's weird. Couldn't care less. But I'm far from riled up or even peeved, for that matter. I'm enjoying myself. Anyone who isn't can stop commenting to me. :)
Lol. Wow. Ok, um, where to start. First of all, my opinion is every bit as valid as yours and every other thinking person who can make a decision. Second of all, "can't pick a fight"? Are you brain dead? Anyone can pick a fight, numbskull. I don't "pick fights" in real life because that's stupid and not a good way to act. In case you're having trouble reading, which you must be, I posted a comment then people came and disagreed with me. That's not me picking fights in any location. And way to speak for someone you don't even know (Zachary). Your comment was inane and stupid. I make controversial comments on the internet because it's fun. You don't have to try to read into my entire life and childhood, Freud.
"Who says anyone is trying to read into your life? Zachary has the valid point, you don't. End of story. Throwing comments out there that you know are gonna start a fight IS starting the fight. If you like debating so much, then you should be doing it in real life as well, since obviously everyone is so fake here. Oh, and like it or not, a female's opinion isn't as important as man's. Why do you think female's make 70-75 cents for every dollar a man makes? Go ahead and get upset and reply too. I just live pissing people off on the Internet cause it's not real and they can't beat my ass like I deserve. :D" A comment like, "You're too stuck up" is really saying, "Based on the post(s) you have made on this internet discussion, I am starting to think that this may be the person that you are." She clarified by letting everyone know that it's really not who she is as a whole. Regarding Zachary's contention that people are not supposed to try to impress each other: by acting like a cute nerdy guy, you're not trying to impress someone within the generic standards of cool. You are, though, still trying to be impressive. It's pretty clear that most of the girls here would find this date to be fun and possibly charming (read: impressive). Oh gosh, he's being so impressive. I would totally date this buy, because of how impressed I am with his date. Do you really think that he was not trying to be impressive? Do you think he was trying to show her a baseline, neutral time? "Throwing comments out there that you kno are gonna start a fight IS starting the fight." Are you referring to the concept of "fighting words"? "...a female's opinion isn't as important as man's. Why do you think female's make 70-75 cents for every dollar a man makes? Go ahead and get upset and reply too. I just live pissing people off on the Internet cause it's not real and they can't beat my ass like I deserve." Those are close to fighting words. Saying that you would not be impressed with the date is not grounds for a fight. Or are you implying that any disagreement is grounds for a fight?
lol sister, u mad?
Although I do agree that if she wants to seriously debate, she should go to http://www.debate.org/.
I'd bother replying to #118, but Sickass just obliterated him with logic. Logic ALWAYS wins versus ... well, whatever you call that mess of a comment. :) I would like to say one thing, though. In what crazy universe is being sexist on an even keel with saying I find this guy to be too lacking in class for my tastes!? Jesus christ, if you're going to make an argument, at least bother having SOME sense behind it. Oh and debate.org!? MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. I thank you wholeheartedly. I know where I'll be. :D
My comment disappeared. It was a detailed and intelligent agreement of Toxi's opinion. Oh well. Here's the concise version: STFU. You are lying if you say you don't in any way try to make a good impression on a first date. Everyone tries to show the best version of themselves while getting to know the best version of the other person.
I think the guy was pretty upfront and honest in his behaviour personally. They went for a walk, and he fell in a river (can happen to anyone), then he acted outgoing, friendly and unselfconsciously. These kind of people are lovely, unpretentious, and sometimes just a little weird (measuring her height :s?), but there's absolutely no way to change them and they're often uncomfortable doing the whole 'putting your best foot forward' thing. Me and boyfriend personally never did the whole 'first date' thing, just messed around and got to know each other. When we finally did 'put our best feet forward', it was awkward as hell!
Dude, this is my ideal date. This guys sounds adorable and fun and isn't concerned with "impressing" other people... I'd rather get stuck on a ski lift and talk for two hours and probably drop something and it's kind of awkward but really sweet... Than sit quietly in some fancy ass restaurant with food that nobody actually likes and have to watch what I eat and spend hours dressing up for no reason. You can have your own opinion about what constitutes a bad date, but NEVER assume that your opinion is right or better than somebody else's, and don't you dare say it's the only way two people can have a relationship.
that's cute. why is this an fml?
cause people are narrow minded.
You forgot the second part to your statement. Here, I'll compile the two parts together! "Because people are narrow minded, or because people a diverse culture just has a wide range of tastes and each person in that culture does not find the exact same things to be fun."
If the chick in 131's pic is her, then she is by far the most attractive girl on FML. If not, well, it doesn't really make a difference. Outstanding pic either way. Bravo!
uuhm; dont see how this bad. sounds fun to mee :)
What's wrong hunny? Not enough junk in his trunk?
How the heck is this an FML???
Sounds like he's a really cool guy. :D Enjoy your time with him.

Measure your height? That's a new one. I went on a date with a girl and we ended up at her place and she whipped out several family photo albums. After politely sitting through a few minutes of this, I asked for if we could take a break. She said yes and then we made out. I think it was a test and I passed. If I had sat through hours of that, she'd have thought I was a spineless limp-dick and sent me on my way.
I'm not seeing how this is an fml... I mean if he just measured your height out of the blue sure, it's a little weird but it's not a big deal. Sounds to me like he's a pretty fun dude and he has a good relationship with his family. Those are both good things, don't let something little like him measuring you or not owning a lot of pants ruin that.
