*sigh* dating drought

.....I like What Not To Wear. ><

I utterly loathe and despise Stacy London. Everytime they have a plus-sized person on, she gives them awful advise and it's very clear that she doesn't know how to dress anyone except for skinny b*tches like herself.

Oh, I wasn't putting her down for not knowing that word.

I know. I was just being goofy. Hence the winky

.....I like What Not To Wear. ><

<hides>

i like the show too, and even though i don't dress that bad (no really its not THAT bad) id love to go on the show and have them tell me what really works.

also so i can learn how to do makeup better, and get my hair did by nick

I wouldn't turn $5000 to go shopping! (Not that I'm a huge fan of shopping but it would probably be better if I knew exactly what to look for and had the money to buy it.) I don't wear much makeup in part cuz I don't really know how to put it on (my mom's not a big makeup person either so I never learned from her). But I would love to have Nick do my hair. I would probably just close my eyes and say "do what you want."

The new season starts soon and they're doing Mayim Bialik (aka Blossom).

Says you!!!

LAME!!!!

Football is chess on steriods. Basketball is far superior!

I'll deal with the two of you just as soon as I make the final adjustments on my mental death ray......

Do I win a prize

I would say you win the Booby Prize, but that would be inappropriate considering your orientation.

*I* wouldn't turn down $5,000 to go shopping, and I am hardly a metrosexual....but $5,000 in new, nice clothes? Are you kidding me? Bring it!

Is she still alive? I figured she was as dead as her career........

While AA and I wait, I'll have a snack.

Nope, she's still around. She's got a PhD in neuroscience, according to the Wikipedia. Also married with two kids and, evidently, a ghastly wardrobe.

I utterly loathe and despise Stacy London.

I hate her, too, and I am a skinny b*itch. She's just so condescending, like she knows it all. But you know what? I would put up with her, and the public humiliation, if someone would show me how to dress this cracked out frame of mine and give me $5000 to do it with. You probably have it harder than me, hell anyone with an ass has it harder than me, but have you ever tried to look decent and not slutty when over half your body is legs? I haven't a clue. My hubby always tells me I am smoking hot, but dress like a 90 year old fat woman.

While AA and I wait, I'll have a snack.

Oooh, popcorn! My favorite!

[Jester]

have you ever tried to look decent and not slutty when over half your body is legs?

I personally have not.

However, I DO have a female coworker who is 6' tall, very skinny, and is, frankly, mostly legs. And whether casual or dressed up, she almost always looks fantastic.

So yes, it CAN be done. But don't ask me how to do it, as I am not her, I am not tall, and I am not a chick.

Have you ever tried to dress decently when you're 5'3 1/2 but your breasts are a larger C cup and your rear end is very round and proportionate to those breasts?

I don't think I need to elaborate any further. That's why I even get dirty looks from women at work when I wear jeans and tshirts, that are apparently "too tight". Look, bitches, I could wear a men's XL t-shirt (wouldn't you all love that, so it would cloak my waistline and make me appear frumpy and larger) and you'd STILL see my boobies poking out. If you have large breasts, you CANNOT hide them. Period. Get over it.

Sorry, had to rant. I got eyed up by Ann again last night. And you guessed it, I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

It's a blessing to have a nice body when you're not at work with a bunch of bitter, jealous women who find your body and your attire "offensive".

I'm sure all of us could go on tirades about how hard it is to dress ourselves. I've got a decent rack, but I also have a Buddha belly. My constant fight is trying to find shirts that are big enough for the belly but not too big for the boobs. grrrr My biggest complaint has always been options. If you're thinner, you have more options available for your shape. Even at my size (16-ish), the options available are extremely limited - unless you want to dress like an old lady. Which I don't. Or spend big bucks at specialty boutiques like Torrid (where I still have the big belly, smaller boobs issue).

Thank god for Maurices.

[artifical sweetner]

ah yes or try having large feet as a woman....no shoes for you! (not much above a size 10 for some reason)

online shopping is futile as each shoe fits differently etc. fail all around

Well, Admin, this is a case where you are provably wrong. At least one member of this site literally wakes up in the morning and throws on the first pants and shirt out of his drawers that aren't his fathers.

This has led me to wear suits to high school (I pulled a dress shirt and suit pants, figured I'd go all the way) and to wear shorts and short-sleeved t-shirts in the middle of winter, but it has never caused me to have any trouble dressing myself.

Also, some members here are in military service, and as someone who went through boot camp (but was admittedly kicked out) I can tell you you are TOLD which of the ISSUED uniforms you are to wear, and the ones that need to be fitted, you are told how it should fit at all times so you can have it done properly, so no difficulty on the dressing for them, either.

It just figures that there are two seemingly nice guys on POF that I have exchanged a few emails with. One stands out but I haven't gotten a reply to my most recent email. It's only been two days (although they were going back and forth regularly for a few days) so I'm trying not to think too much about it but it's hard not to check the email all the time!

Now that I think about it, I need to email the other one back!

Back when I was scouring the intarwebs for datings stuff, there were a few 'Nerd' dating sites. They seem to have proliferated (of course, that is often the end result of dating). Here's a nice list of the top ten dating sites.

Also, clubs are a great way to meet people. And meeting people is generally the best way to meet more people. If you have a local college around, or your church or just some rec center, check and see what they have to offer.

I'm not currently able to offer general advice on what to do when meeting new people. I have a reasonably hard time with that myself.

I know how difficult it can be during a drought like this. Houston, unfortunately is like that all the time. Trying to find anyone intelligent here is always a bone needle in a haystack problem (metal needles can be found using magnets! )
