unsure - I can agree with everything you wrote. I can also easily see an immature 19 year old dating another 19 year old being just as bad or worse. Especially when it comes to the assumption that it's just about sex or that children may become involved.

I agree completely which is what I was trying to point out as well: Yes, there is an age difference. Yes, there are going to be differences because of that. And any difficulties would have to be addressed - just like any difficulty in any relationship.

There's no reason to discount the relationship any more than any other.

Age is just not an automatic relationship killer.

It's not really a moral/ethical issue either, as an 18 year old is going to date and act the same no matter how old their partner is. It is, like you state, an issue that they, as a couple, have to decide to work on or not.

However, I would say his older age could give them an advantage on dealing with those relationship issues as well. As compared to an 18 year old dating another 18 year old that lacks "experience and growth."

What keeps you going back to WoW? I capped out several characters before the expansion - raided constantly - PvP'ed - got most of the best gear for them - etc... and just got bored with it.

I got the expansion thinking it would add something new and draw me back in - but no dice. I couldn't even play it for a week before uninstalling WoW for the final time.

I loved the game for what is was, it just got old. How do you still enjoy it after so long? Was there something new in the expansion I may have just not given a chance?

Godspeed.

You don't have to accept it. It just makes life more enjoyable if you 1. try to understand it or 2. failing to understand (like almost everyone), accept it and cope without being angry and cynical.



So instead of checking to see if the sky is actually blue, you prefer to go out of your way to refute the existence of a personal experience to look and see if it's blue or not and criticize the analogy? You are missing points here intentionally. You are doing all this to yourself everything aside - which is the point people keep pointing out and which you keep proving with every response.



Again, you are missing the point intentionally. People are seeing you as angry. You are perceived as being angry. It's your choice whether you want to ignore that or learn something from the reality that that's what people are telling you.



Apparently she both LOVED talking to you and thought you were so learned and wise that she stopped talking to you? You are working hard to have to keep missing the points people are giving you feed-back with. No one can explain it except her, all we know is that she stopped talking to you.



Once again... someone is giving you their time and help to understand what's going on - and you are more interested in missing the point with a response in direct contradiction. It's already been established you view everything with cynicism. You don't need to keep pointing it out.



Granted it's amusing. But thatplayer89 gains confidence from having paid someone to tell him how to have confidence and believe that he *can*. And that works. Because he THINKS it works. He's not concentrated on how he *can't* manipulate women - he's concentrated on how he *can* manipulate women. And no matter how you look at it, believing you *can* will at least give you a chance while believing it's hopeless gives you exactly zero chance unless someone takes pity on you.



You are missing the point again. It's not about dating. It's about you. Why would you go to talk to people with the same problems, in the same situation, with the same hopeless belief if you truly want to change things?




You are missing the point one last time here. The first step you pointed out is where all this started, but you've turned it into your last step.

Hey playoff,

Was just trying it myself and was curious how people thought it compared to other MMOs. At the lower levels, it's got my attention more than WoW did in any case.

Too bad you are on Silverload - was hoping to find some other people on Landroval and a kinship. I'm loving the game so far but missing having a group of people to play with like I had in WoW.

steelangel - There is a free trial for the game. Might want to check it out if you ever get bored. It looks like they really tried to stay true to the original Tolkien lore as much as possible (while still making the game fun).

Careful Drivinmenutz, people might start thinking you are replacing blind party politics with common sense. O_o

That's funny, because I feel all players are the same, they just have different self-delusions.

LIES!!!

Oh and welcome!

But do you think if you have a scarred and jaded heart that anyone wants to share that? Isn't there a part of you that you want to share that is positive that someone else might be attracted to?

I don't know what to say other than I can't wait to meet her. =D

Bobzeaux - Actually what I meant was your attitude and thinking is probably having a bigger impact on your behavior than you think it does. You seem to have convinced yourself of how things are before things actually happen.

Truth. I like it.

How drunk do I have to get you anyway before we go to my place? ;D

Yeah, I just sent my phone number to you - give me a call and we'll work out the details.

You have yourself a date! Seriously, what time do you want to meet?

But you have to pay the bill. I don't want to waste the money on a woman on the first date and all. =P

I'm about 45 min. away actually! I live in Titusville just to the south of you. We should go out for dinner - do you have Monday evening free by any chance?

I mean take trustingfate for example. I bet because of my confidence right now that if I asked her out for a date right here on the forums... she would say yes.

Bobzeaux - I'm just grasping at straws here... but everything I've seen you read was about how women always have it so wrong, how you know what they want, how you have worked and studied how to have better, how you are a nice guy, etc...

How about just thinking about things more positively and less cynically? Just let relationships flow, be yourself. Don't work so hard for it.

That's insane in the membrane - looks like a sister.
