lmao, ok... get this, i just got off the phone with one of my good friends. He's a little slow, was never very bright in school or with people, never had a g/f until about a month ago, he just broke up with her today. He didn't exactly know how to handle a relationship, and he difinately didn't know how to break up with a girl, she got all pissed off at him because he broke up with her because she was "just a test girlfriend," that's what he told her.

I don't think it was bad telling her she was just a test girlfriend. I mean, he was honest and that's what matters the most. Taking the "I want some time apart" and "Lets just be friends" route leaves all kinds of questions to the dumpee. Telling the truth from the beginning may look bad, but it doesn't leave unanswered questions.

I think it was insensitive to her feelings. Now she knows it was never real or anything for him and I bet she feels kinda used. Thats never a good thing. He coulda been a little more gentle and still avoided the vauge crap.

ok, the best way to break up with a girl is to be a jerk, then she will quickly dump you. of course she will also bad-mouth you to all her friends, so if you're interested in one of them, you'd better include dating the friend in your jerk routine.

Simer, you are wrong again. I tried the "be a jerk" thing and you know what happened...the girl stuck to me more than before! I suddenly realized why all those good looking women with jerk boyfriends cried about them as the love of their life so much. The woman brain is weird.

Roam, I don't think it was at all insensitive to her feelings. He told her the truth. She might feel used but she'll learn to watch out for that sort of thing in the future. If he lied to her she'd see through it as women always do--she'd of found the flaw in his lie and bugged him and bugged him which would have kept her around him longer than he'd probably want. The truth hurts, yes, and it's a brutal teacher sometimes.

The most brutal...
...way to dump a girl as tested by my friend, we'll call him N. N was dating A and was tired of her. So he arranged a time where they could have sex one last time. After sex he went and put on his shirt, shoes, and pants, leaving the zipper down. He turned to her while she was still laying in bed and said, "I don't think this is gonna work. It's over," zipped up his pants and walked out the door. Needless to say, she never ever called him again...hell, this was in high school and I don't think she ever looked at him again. That's the most brutal way I've ever heard of a guy leaving a nice girl.

helinka


You see, I train my girlfriends at an early age in the relationship not to ask me questions like that. For instance, the first time my girlfriend asked me "do i look fat in this?" I replied "no" then paused and said "but it makes you butt stick out and look huge, go change." Never again did she ask me if her outfit mad her look fat. I also got the upperhand on cooking too. I asked her to please make me a sandwich after I changed the oil in her car and she said no. So I went to the stove, got her best pan and destroyed it trying to make a grilled cheese sandwhich (for some reason, flaming cheese does not come off pans). After this she never refused to make me a sandwhich when I asked--and I didn't even have to do anything for her first. Ah, the tricks the Dub has learned in life.

As for my brutal friend, he was one of the most intelligent people from high school, however, he was also very lazy and unchallenged and always in trouble. That guy scored more ass than anyone else I know and the stories of him leaving and cheating on girlfriends only got worse.

Is he in prison now Dub? If not maybe he'll catch some horrible STD and it'll fall off. THere's already too many #&%!$s out there treating people like #&%!$ (male and female). You gotta have a modicum of respect for other people in the world.
Roam Around

That's what I've been saying for months. I've been looking for that "one" for me. I think the key isn't just a spine alone but a brain. I want one clever enough to see through my tricks. Of course a girl that can bong two beers at once or hold a beer bottle between her boobs with her shirt and bra off gets extra points.

Actually Roam we've often wondered if he was in prision. No one, not even his parents, have seen him in about a year and a half. Been two years in April since I've seen him. He was an #&%!$ and I liked some of the girls he used, who I would have been nice to, but after he'd been with them I considered them tainted and didn't want any of what he might be carrying. Yuck!

Actually it's usually me that dumps them. While some of my tactics seem crude, I'm really nice too. I always give a girl a rose when I ask her out, usually bring a couple to the first date, after dating a while I leave flowers, candy, and other nice things hidden where she'll find them. I'm nice too, but I don't put up with the loaded questions like "does this make me look fat?" I've yet to met a nice, good looking, intelligent girl that wasn't already taken. They are rare jewels.

Those aren't really loaded questions Dub. She doesn't really want you to answer the question "does this look fat" she wants you to reassure her that she's attractive and desireable.

Its a confidence builder. It may be a game, but to me at least it's worth playing along.
Roam Around

lotsa times people seem more attractive when they're not available. that's why so many girls go for married men. if those guys were single, we wouldn't look at them twice.
find a girl that comes close to your 'criteria' and you might be suprised. sometimes the best mate for you is not neccessarily the type you usually are attracted to.
helinka
10:50:25 PM

You see, I go about it a completely different way. If she comes to me and asks, "what should I wear?" instead of "does this make me look fat" I'll say something like, "wear the black miniskirt with the blue long shirt top--that makes you look hot." You just gotta train 'em to ask the right questions.

But when she asks those questions (and she will, eventually) you better know how to respond or you'll be sleeping alone for a few nights.
