And thus the name "Goofball..."

Plus I'm also too intimidating and complicated, probably even for people in California.

Hey now. You have no idea how hard I'd get.....wait....wrong thread.

Well, I am not complicated but certainly intimidating; at least thats what the men here think.

He would chuck what a woodchuck could,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Salts!!

Still, while this answer does induce logic, it defies the analytical aspect. I mean, according to Wikipedia, Woodchucks have tons of calcium in their teeth, and thus the thought is that, with proper dental care, they can chuck a crap load of wood. How much????? Tis a mystery that eludes me.

Would you like me to ask my uber brilliant conspiracy play mate who knows everything in the frigging universe because if anyone would know it would be him??? LOL

You answered your own question.
A woodchuck would chuck a crapload of wood.
With a paid dental plan.

how many cords of wood in a crapload? I think I missed that measurement in geometry?

Hmmm..
As I recall, a cord is stacked 4'X4'X8'
(width, height, length.)
So, the real question is, is it a load
from a woodchuck, or is it Goofball size?

If you short change from your standards you could probably short change you and them as well.

None because a wood chuck cannot chuck wood!

But..........if he could chuck wood
"Sixteen and 1/2 board feet a day- except on Groundhog's Day since groundhog is another name for woodchuck."- This answer is according to no less an authority than the 'Junior Woodchucks Guidebook', a publication often consulted by Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck and referred to yet again by them in answering this very same question.

Standards is why I am single. I will know it when I meet "the one." If I never meet her, I'll die single I guess.

A loser is generally someone who is a defeatist and bottom line a negative thinker. If you take them as they are, they will continue to be a loser, if you think you can change them, think again.

You have to look at their lives and what they have created so far. If it is not something you want in your life, then let it go. They will probably continue to create the same thing that have been creating.

Humans are creatures of habit.

I kind of feel that way too. I mean why would you want to be with me if I feel you are not up to snuff? And people assume what I mean by education is one thing. And it's not. I have been with a martial arts instructor. That WAS his profession. He WAS trained. That WAS his education. He has the nice life and everything he built based on that. He WAS accomplished in THAT field.

Likewise why do I want to be with the guy who doesn't want to be with the personal assistant/published writer/geek girl? I mean if I am not your thing, I am not your thing. Like if you are not into the girl who does fitness DVDs and likes yoga, walking, and shooting hoops at the park, don't go out with me. It's that simple.

See to me the "never settle" quote is you're saying that this person better be everything i'm looking for with no exceptions.Ok after you wake up you can try the old "good and bad" outweighs elimination process.Theres gonna be automatic deal breakers but if the interest is mutual then let the good and bad process begin.

Ya know the more i read what i typed it seems more like i'm typing about stocks....lol

To date, the smartest man I ever knew slept through grade school and quit high school about midway through the 9th grade to become an iron worker...about the only thing he could not figure out was if cat was spelled with a "C" or a "K" and why he couldn't made perfect sense to me.....In his case, the paper meant nothing and had no bearing on his determination to succeed, his self confidence, or his ability to command a room...He was also the hardest working man I have ever knew...We started a business together, nine years later I sold my half to him, twenty years later he retired in style..... I guess standards mean different things to different people....

I haven't taken the time to read this entire thread, so forgive me if I'm off-track from the discussion. I'm just taking a break between chores.


I tend to believe that at large part of chemistry stems from two people having similar experiences despite any differences. Without similar experiences, it becomes much harder to relate to your partner. It gives you a common bond, and something to talk about. The more alien someone's experiences are, the more difficult it becomes to catch that spark. Not to mention, a couple needs to have some common beliefs and goals. Otherwise, they are likely to drift apart as their lives are increasingly divergent paths.

I have always had standards. I have only rarely and selectively lowered some of those standards, partly because I found I changed or learned something new about myself. I find it is more likely that I will have problems fully defining some standards because they are just intuitive rather than rational. Those are the ones I typically come to understand better as I get older. And because of their ambiguity, I have some flexibility....a target range with both a floor and a ceiling. Over the long haul, I feel I have raised the bottom standard more often than I have lowered it due to process of elimination. That's probably normal for most people.

A few of my standards:

Intelligence - I don't want a woman who's daft. I also don't want someone who is a Miss Know-It-All, driving away friends and relations with a holier-than-thou attitude.

Physical standards - if I don't find her attractive (no one else's opinion matters here), then it will impact sex; I expect a woman to feel the same way about men

Drive/Ambition - must have it, but not excessive amounts of it; someone who is too ambitious tends to have tunnel-vision focus

Outgoing - I don't like to stay home all the time; I like to be active and to socialize, even if I am not the most outgoing myself. Therefore I want a woman who likes to go out and do some of the same activities and enjoy the same company as I do. Shy women and stick-in-the-muds need not apply.

Communication - Absolute must! Don't shut me out if I am supposed to be the most intimate person in your life. I don't like guessing games; they only make things worse.



I could probably list a lot more standards because I'm fussy. I've been told time and again that I am TOO fussy, but I've been around a lot a people in my life. I know what personalities I want to avoid.


Time to get back to work...

I had some chick throw a beer bottle at me and hit me right upside the head. So I married her. Throws like a girl my azz. I like a chick with bad eye sight and that can't throw very well......
