Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

[PrettySquareGal]

I've never connected high maintenance with dry clean only taste.

I'm very high maintenance; definitely not an easy care kind of gal. But I do a good job of maintaining myself.

 

[Macheath]

Oh, I forgot.
In addition to being willing to argue with me, he needs to be geeky.
Really geeky.
Willing to discuss things like (for example) shifting timelines in Terminator universe geeky.

Pfft. You call that geeky? Like conversations about the causal inconsistencies in time-travel fiction isn't the norm.


Actually, forget your ideal guy/girl being geeky in that sense. I wish more of my friends had that much depth of thought.

 

[Spiffy]

I toned the geeky down for the forum. Today I spent 20 minutes arguing with my film professor about the morality of the fighting robot-monster hybrids in Neon Genesis: Evangelion. The rest of the class looked on in horror.

Top that.

Ahh, forgive my presumptuousness. You are indeed hopeless, mademoiselle.

See that, Miss Spiffy, and raise with having a prof implant the mind of a fictional character so far into my own that I've adopted the profile of that character and even use his name as an alias at times.

Or arguing with a prof over psychological profiles and pathology of various fictional characters.

Like throws out random quotes from computer-game units and characters geeky.
"Got a present for ya... something to remember me by!"--Col. Burton, Command & Conquer: Generals
"I lost a bomb, do you have it?"--Crazy Ivan, C&C: Red Alert 2
"You called down the thunder... now reap the whirlwind!" and
"I'm about to overload my aggression inhibitors..."--Ghost, StarCraft

You go, girl! That's awesome.

I think geeks are great because they are so thankful. lol Just kidding... a little.

Yep -- and it's true about some geek ladies as well. Ah, college days ...

BTW, Marc, while you're here, sorry about all this but somebody had to start the geekiness-contest, and I take second-place to nobody on that one--"matched", yes, but never "beaten"...

Mr. Back, I'm happy to recognize you as the unbeaten champion of geekdom, with all due honors and decorations.


I was talking about several geek ladies from my sordid past.

[Diamondback]

Marc, meant on this whole "geekout contest" that Spiffy, several others and I have been involved in cluttering up an otherwise very educational thread. (This shows you why I seldom get into contests, as that way it's easier to control my ruthless, anticompetitive and rapidly-escalating "win at ALL cost" nature.)

Carter, well said!

Miss Laura, 'high maintenance' can mean a lot of things, speaking as a guy who's a textbook illustration of one form of it--anything from insanely expensive to just needing a lot of TLC. Appreciating what one considers "the finer things in life" does not necessarily "high maintenance" make... (Or at least I hope so, lest my $4000 laptops, $1500 rifles, $1000 pistols and $500 model locomotives move me from "high" into "unbearable"... )

[Spiffy]

Geekery blush and fem feathers ruffled.

I just read the whole "geekery" convo from the beginning. Whoops. My bad.

Anyway, re: high maintenance. A real lady may be high maintenance in private, but she does not allow her personal preferences to inconvenience others. This is also known as my dad's "You buy it, you carry it" rule. "High maintenance" activities such as dying my hair crazy colors, always wearing heels, putting on makeup in moving vehicles, etc do not make me any less exciting, interesting, or able to succeed in whatever endeavor I choose to tackle that day.
Lipstick is war-paint!:rage:

 

[Diamondback]

putting on makeup in moving vehicles

Please tell us somebody else is driving when you do this?

 

[Spiffy]

Sometimes.lol
I've also done it on a moving activity buses.

 

[Diamondback]

On a bus isn't as much of an issue--but while driving is a bit of a safety hazard...

Not totally "your bad"--I shoulda remembered I had that flaw and "walked away" rather than escalating, although that's as much the entire "geek group" as the two of us.

If you're willing to call this one a draw, I suppose there are worse outcomes than "King and Queen of FL Geekdom"...

 

[Macheath]

Lipstick is war-paint!:rage:

Quite right. After donning my fatigues, I always reach for a stick of cherry red #126.

Lipstick is vile stuff, and I will never understand how women put up with it. I guess I'm odd in that I find paleness attractive.

But, as long as were listing qualifications (demands?), here are mine:

-Witty
-Well-mannered
-Opinionated
-Likes Jazz
-Likes lounging around

optional:
-can scat
-knows squat about cooking

 

[avedwards]

putting on makeup in moving vehicles

Not a good idea posting this when people learning to drive are reading this.

As for this thread, I'd summarise by saying someone who can appreciate me and I can appreciate, and who shares my interests. Not much but I'd like to meet such a woman, as it's not happened so far.

 

[Ethan Bentley]

One that wouldn't bother with someone she hates.
That won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls.

Well and the rest of the song.

Thanks Tommy Dorsey.

And what's a woman without passion?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I've always liked women like my last girlfriend. Her dad's a hot-rodder, and she did interior, tune-ups, oil changes, and just about any other automotive task you could throw at her.
