Since when did we start looking the other way when it came to anti-semitic comments on this forum?? Shits not funny.

Jesus ned....you of all people getting uptight about that crap? You have to be joking, considering the amount of misogyny you display. How disappointing, I thought i had you pegged as a cool dude.

That really IS ridiculous. I mean, gee, I would never have expected something so low and pig-headed from Mike. How sexist. :\

Fucking hell...if you didn't want a discussion, you shouldn't have used a forum.

Gaming-Age Forums > Discussions > Off-Topic Discussion > Why are guys so stingy?

I recommend Livejournal.

Most of this thread, you make up your own assumptions instead of reading and comprehending posts. It's extremely annoying.

Heavy petting was the worst choice of phrase ever.

It sounds like you are referring to showing some kind of animal some affection using a brick.

christ, i really can't believe you banned her. insecure much? everyone on this forum is insulted(usually by mods themselves) or branded in grandiose general terms that have nothing to do with the topic at hand and quite often jack shit is done. so suddenly when it happens to mike, and it's clear to EVERYONE that he's in the right and she's grasping at straws, he STILL has to resort to banning?

lol

give me a break. just tell her to shut the fuck and be done with it. let her continue to display her ignorance and stupidity to all; that's a much better way to deter idiots.

Let's not forget that there are things couples can do that don't cost money that show they care. That little love letter left behind, a picnic at the park, cooking dinner for each other, a backrub, a bubble bath with lit candles, getting to sleep in one morning while he takes the kids to the park, breakfast in bed, doing the laundry, taking care of you when you're sick, a really good footrub *drool*.

The bigger question is, is he showing he cares at all? It's not entirely about money and how much, if any, he spends on you, but how or if he shows his affection.

I agree though, don't compare him to other guys. It's not fair to either of you. I have female friends whose partners buy them expensive jewelry, send them flowers, buy them clothes/lingerie, expensive meals, or even small trinkets but whatever it's not about the comparison. Often these are the same girlfriends that don't get the love letters, the poems, the romance. No one has the same pocket book, and some people show it differently. Sure we'd all love to have both (and guys would as well), but the important thing is the relationship and the affection exchanged.

Quick someone find what other forums she posts on. Post this fiasco of a thread on there and let's sit back and watch the hilarity of it all one more again! :lol

No. There's a word for someone you hang out with a lot, but don't fuck. It's "friend".
A relationship without relations is just a "-hip". :p
There's a word for someone who calls herself your girlfriend for a year, but hasn't fucked you, also. It's "tease". (see also: "attention whore")

And, if girls give presents to guys they love, (outside something small on birthday or Christmas) I've never met anyone in my life who had a girl love them.

Being in a relationship does not have to mean sex takes place. There are people in this world that believe sex should be within marriage, or who just aren't ready for that level yet and that's ok and their partner should know that going in and choose to respect it and live it with, or get out. Just think how much worse it would be if someone has sex before they're ready. That never works out good! And no, I'm not one of them but I am damn picky about who I am in a relationship with and I've lost dates before because of not wanting to put out quickly (there was little to no spark, or the guy seemed flaky, womanizing whatever).

And yes, some girls do spoil their guys rotten. If my boyfriend doesn't consider himself one of the most spoiled men alive he needs his head kicked in. Admittedly, it's not about the sum of the money I spend (I only wish I had the cash to spoil him the way I'd like, materialistic bastard that he is *wink*), but the amount of energy and thought I regularly put into making him feel special and appreciated.

As for dropping hints versus coming out and saying it, it depends on the guy and after a year you should probably know which camp he falls into. I've had boyfriends that could take the smallest hint dropped to the point you had to be careful what you said or he'd waste his energy to guys who you could beat over the head with a frying pan and be painfully direct. Some guys like the "hey honey I need a new DVD player" hint and other guys like the subtle. It all depends where they are coming from. Personally I like a mix. I like my guy to drop some hints so I can surprise him from time to time with something unexpected (it sucks if you don't know what they want, or they always get it for themselves) and sometimes I'll openly ask for an ideas list, so when he proves difficult to shop for I can pull it out and be done with it.

And definitely count yourself lucky as a silver lining if that helps. Some guys have hideous taste in jewelry and clothes. A guy who has good taste in both is priceless! In my opinion it's wasteful of a guy to buy something like that if he's not sure it will go over well. I got a ring for my 16th birthday that still makes me cringe. Loved the thought, bit my tongue and wore it anyway, but always hoped he'd take an effort to find out what my style was before he blew money again.

Thongs are ok sometimes , but boyshorts are totally uncomfortable and are hard to pull off (they flatter a rare few).

Well Waychell is a pretty unique nickname on the interweb and google is mighty.
 
What a ridiculous thread. Waychel's problem shouldn't have even occured for someone who is an ENTIRE YEAR into a relationship. I missed the initial threads where everyone allegedly knows this person to be of female persuasion, but at a guess I'd say the entire scenario is the fabrication of a morbidly obese 33 year-old male posting from his parents' basement. I guess I'll never know now that Waychel's been banned, but hey, it's not as though people weren't already calling her on her story. That shouldn't been enough to destroy her reputation as is.

Ding Ding Ding! that's our girl! She's substituting the shower head for her man cause he won't give it up. Don't know what's up with the gay buttsecks porn tho? I'm really glad I suggested this. Now if someone would just register copy and paste this thread on her other forums... I just cant be assed to.
 
not that i ever say much around here... but i was secretly hating on waychel for a long time. i found her to be annoying and arrogant.

mikes method of disposal was VERY funny, haven't seen that yet since i've been here. wtg!

good riddens and happy trails, waychel.

In NO way was her BF lame with that decision! He made the SMART choice in not buying that shit. Heavy petting? WTF? That's a reward? Where is he getting pleasure? That's like having my girl buy me a playstation 2 and saying, "Hey baby, as your treat, you can jack me off!"

His pleasure comes from being able to touch her and make her happy, obviously. A good boyfriend would be happy with this!

He may have been a good, albeit naive boyfriend if that was the case-- just wishing to pleasure his girlfriend. But would she have been a good girlfriend for getting her boyfriend to buy her a gift and then rewarding him with a 'gift' that actually rewards herself?
 
Hey, I kinda liked Waychel! She listened to my hopelessly ill begotten medical advice, and managed to incorporate at least one semi colon into each of her posts--two points that must count for something around here. Or not. I'm sure the littlest republican will return in good time. Until then:

Mods + 1000... seriously, the mods on this forum make it an order of magnitude funnier. Drinky's post + the ban certificate made this ban the funniest one I can remember since "Tally ho, 'tis the banstick!". :lol :lol :lol

Well...I've read through the first page and the last page. As for my thoughts on the first page: I'm not sure which side I'd take. The guy does seem like a stingy dick, but a) he was provoked by the comparison to ____'s girlfriend, and thus may not have been thinking clearly. Completely uncalled for (the comparison, that is). And b) since when did (amount of money spent on person) = (degree of affection)? I'm sorry, but that just seems like an incredibly shallow attitude to have, though I don't think waychel was completely endorsing that either, to be fair. A far more accurate equation would probably be (amount of time + thought) = (degree of affection), though that's still kind of reductive. But anyway.

As for the last page, OMG, that ban certificate is so fucking hilarious I can't stand it. :lol :lol Mike Works rocks. :D
