you're talking to an interesting woman, she's attractive, you're both digging each other and . . .

she starts talking about astrology. like it's real or something.

what do you do?

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

and you peel off a c note from a gangster roll and say, "baby, there's more where that came from."

gets a laugh every time.

you have to get them to laugh.

even if they're laughing at you, they're still laughing.

Wrap your mind around that one awhile. :silly:

I'm a gemini so sometimes I do, sometimes I don't

So true

...laugh a little like she was making a joke, excuse myself and escape.

Bust it
This here's a tale for all the fellas,
try to do what those ladies tell us,
get shot down cuz you're over zealous.
play hard to get females get jealous.
Ok, smarty, go to a party.
girls are scantilly clad and showin' body,
a chick walks by, ya wish ya could sex her,
but she's in another world like you was poindexter.
Next day's function, high class luncheon.
Food is served, and you're stone cold munchin'.
Music comes on, people start to dance,
but then you ate so much you nearly split your pants.
A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin',
sits down next to you and starts talkin'.
Says she wanna dance cuz she likes to groove,
so come on, fatso, and just bust a move .
You're on a mission,
and you're wishin' someone could cure your lonely condition.
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
no fine girls, just ugly faces.
From frustration, first inclination,
is to become a monk and leave the situation.
But ever dark tunnel has a light, I hope,
so don't hang yourself with a celibate rope.
New movie's showin', so you're goin',
could care less about the five you're blowin'.
Theatre gets dark just to start the show,
then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row.
She's dressed in yellow, she says hello,
come sit next to me ya fine fellow.
You run over there without a second to lose,
and what comes next, hey, bust a move.
In the city, ladies look pretty,
guys tell jokes so they can seem witty.
Tell a funny joke just to get some play,
then you try to make a move and she says no way.
Girls are fakin', goodness sakin',
they want a man who brings home the bacon.
Got no money and got no car,
then you got no woman and there you are.
Some girls are sophistic, materialistic,
lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic.
They're lyin' on the beach, perpetratin' a tan
so that a brother with the money can be their man
So, on the beach start strollin', real high rollin',
everything you have is yours and not stolen.
A girl runs up with something to prove,
so don't just stand there, bust a move
Just bust a move
Break it down for me fellas
Your best friend ,Harry, has a brother Larry...
in five days from now he's gonna marry.
He's hopin' you can make it there, if you can,
cuz in the ceremony you'll be the best man.
You say neato, check your libido,
and roll to the church in your new tuxedo.
The bride walks down, just to start the wedding...
and there's one more girl you won't be getting.
so you start thinkin', then ya start blinkin',
a bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin'
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
and now you're feeling really fine cuz the girl is stacked.
reception's jumpin', bass is pumpin',
look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin'.
Says she wanna dance to a different groove,
now you know what to do, g, bust a move.
Just bust a move
Move it boy."

yo

because it will greatly increase your chances of gettin' busy with her later if you do ;)

She probably likes to get down.

off your chair and out the door.
Or, you could try to change the subject and she if she doesn't persist, Venus could be be ascending, ;)

But, I may be persuaded by physical means if she can make me see stars.

Would a real man LIE to get sex?

:smoke:

mark

especially if she starts talking about certain cycles or phases that she feels are best for 'mating'

if she doesn't, sway the conversation back to the things you DO have in common...

are so remotely slim that one such issue would arouse my interest more than squash it.

Besides, people are most interesting in their differences, not their similarities. I'm more interested in how strongly someone believes in something than in what they believe. If she is passionate about a particular belief, it would only make me feel more attracted, since I tend to be passionate in my own beliefs.

Now there would be a tipping point. If she were a Republican, atrology-believer, fundamentalist, fan of Rush and the Eagles (band or team), I'd probably have to hit the door. One can only take a certain amount of lunacy.

:rofl:

:rofl:

Waddya expect from a band whose songwriter is an Ayn Rand nut.

:woohoo: :hi:

:shakes head in that "what the hell can you say" manner:

You might learn something. :P

Shows you are an alpha male and all that stuff.

Edit:
I'm not going to add the sarcasm tag, but still think people will take that statement seriously. No, I didn't mean it seriously.

then see where that gets you. if not where you want to be, just get out of dodge

and if you don't agree with her philosophy you at least might have an amusing conversation/debate

It's an interesting subject, and it has to do a lot with archetypes. Respect her opinions and read some C. G. Jung.

:hi:

but i think in the philosophy of symbolic forms he made an argument that christianity essentially changed the nature of the sacred and its intersection with the day-to-day life.

things like astrology (and its formation over time) probably figured into a horizontal alignment of zones of the sacred and profane. essentially, one could argue that the mystical, the commercial, the day-to-day life, and the spiritual all coexisted on a continuum and that the esimtation or valuation of what was accessible by the common person was more apparent than if the sacred and profane existed vertically (making them polar opposites, thus being set at variance). at one time you could have many gods, powers, and forces that were elemental or were part of daily life. you didn't have to go to a priest or step into a church to gain access to the Unknown or the Mysterious.

Surely, astrology must have mitigated some lack of understanding about nature or the divine (which were once entwined).

but all this goes back almost 20 years or so for me.

long story short, campbell is a hack. jung is good reading, did most of that after i dropped out of high school and before i went to college.

in order to make a woman happy.
That's where all guys learn that.

The whole "you're both digging each other" part didn't happen all that often.

because i rarely wear underwear.

something exotic



































(Did I get the quote right? It's been awhile since I've seen that movie.)

:scared:

happens to me ALL the time.

:wtf:

i guess my version of that is a little different than yours. :rofl:

Just sayin'...

:eyes:

Just wondering.

and tell her that's yours. :P

There's no shame in disagreeing. You're going to have an arument eventually anyway; so why not make the first an interesting debate?

and then i bellow: MOOOOOOOOOO

:rofl:

Chicks love a dude who can smite a dozen orcs without breaking a sweat.

to them.

If that doesn't warm her heart, then to heck with her.

The day that I deny myself the opportunity to make a new friend simply because another individual may or may not possess the same harmless belief in something that I do (or do not as the case may be), is the day I consider myself intolerant, self-possessed and prudish.

Of course I'd continue enjoying the evening with her; I'm not so closed minded as to reject a person for benign convictions-- I'd consider myself rather stupid if I did that.

But that's just me...

I know some very wicked women.

If you'd simply said "Astrology?!?" and had a :wtf: expression on your face, maybe she'd have deemed you worthy of further exploration.

in it but don't write her off over it. Keep an open mind. There's alot more to life on earth than we have learned yet.

Many moons ago I read "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs" and it was fun and entertaining and blew me away how it SEEMS to hit the nail on the head so much. I think there's something to it but it is a case of a lot of truth mixed with lies, or more like a little truth mixed with alot of lies, but why not be open and teachable? Debate the topic with her but don't beat it into the ground; you're not likely to change her beliefs any more than she is likely to change yours.

So tell me, was this a hypothetical question or something that you experienced?
