Okay, I was born 3-28. So that makes me an Aries. I don't know what that means, but I know I am a leader and very smart and sometimes full of myself. Or full of pasta. One of them.

New to the site, blah blah, trying to post on different things, maybe make friends or have people laugh at my jokes, whatever...Here's one of my SEVERAL embarassing moments.

I was a child actor and was trying out for a kid role on Star Trek TNG (an extra with lines, like it matters.)

Anyways, the callbacks came and I was invited back. So I am reading alongside maybe 4 other kids and I am hanging out by the donut and coffee table at Paramount. I see a script lying on a chair, so I am bored and pick it up and leaf through it. Keep in mind I had only read MY scenes, the ones I was in. Now I am seeing the whole thing, and I hate the particular one I am reading.

I see a typo or two, a misspelling, and some dialogue that makes NO sense. So I start correcting it with my pen, crossing things out, rewording them etc. I am like, 8 years old or so.

A man walks over to me and askes what I am doing. I say just reading the script, someone left a copy around, I'm just reworking it a little, you know. I look up. He is LIVID.

That's the master script, son.

Dead silence. I'm like nooooo. He's like yeaaaaah.

Another silence.

I look back up at him and say "Well, it should have been laminated then," and run off. LOL

Looking back I can laugh, but I was mortified.

It turned out okay. He was the Exec. Producer, and he came to me after I didn't get the role and he offered me a job ghostwriting. He liked the changes! lol I was a KID, writing for Star Trek TNG. Amazing. This is why I have ALWAYS kept a pen on me since. You never know.....




Oh my goodness, jeesh!: click here to read the entire thread »

Women are just as shallow as men. Even to a nice guy like me that tries very hard not to be. I like petite because for a guy, I am petite also. Sort of. You tell me...lol It is probably because I prefer a smaller bust size. I mean PREFER, not that it is the main factor. Actually, it is an afterthought observation and not a determining factor.

Here's another one...I wear glasses. Contacts hurt my eyes a lot, and someday I will get the laser surgery, but for now I have specs. THAT gets me shot down too. It is MY fault my parents are shorter than most, and my entire FAMILY wears glasses.

Most men are shallow, and only write to women that are cute to them. I have news for you...There are a LOT of women that have IN THEIR PROFILE a certain term...No pic, no reply. Before you tell me that it is for safety, explain how READING an email on a site makes the guy a threat. If you respond, okay, maybe he can get an email address or something, but if that's the case and they fear for anything, they shouldn't be on THAT particular site I would think. F that, women lie a lot.

"I want someone caring and understanding and honest."

I see that ALL the time. Translation?

I want to be able to cheat on him, and forgive me later, but HE can't cheat on ME.

Either that or...

He has to understand that I mess up a lot.

Here's another one.

"I want to be held and cuddle."

Utter bull. Most guys think the girl will put out from that, but that isn't what the woman means. She means...

"I don't want sex right away, just tenderness and affection."

That is fine, I can deal with that. But then they couple it with THIS line...

"I am care-free and love to have fun."

WHAT? That sounds to most guys like she will put out, ESPECIALLY with the last line. She doesn't mean that, but she SAYS it so guys will email her.
This has gone beyond a response into a full-blown rant. Here's the summation...

1. Most guys lie, are shallow, and want ass.
2. Most women lie too, but claim THEY want honesty...lol
3. Women want ass too, but only from hot guys right away.
4. Women communicate more than men.
5. Women don't necessarily say what they mean though.
6. Men get a bad rap, but most of us deserve it.
7. A nice guy has to prove himself.
8. Women assume that they HAVE proven themselves based on them being women.
9. Women think that THEY are in demand.
10. Women that don't think that have low self-esteem.
11. Men think they are in charge, and yield that control to women for awhile so as not to seem overbearing and bossy.
12. Women control a man in WAY too many ways to count.
13. Women aren't completely open for the first week or two, unless they are a stalker or clingy or needy.
14a. Women should understand that every man wants sex right away.
14b. Women should also understand that most men don't EXPECT it right away, so back off damn it, we are horny but can control it.
15. I could never be gay, but after years of dating and games with women, I can understand the option.
16. Men are insecure too, but some hide it better.
17. Never date more than a dozen years off your age unless you want to get raped, or go to prison...And THEN get raped. Or you get off by paying a lawyer that raped you.
18. Rape seems to be inevitable...No wait, that's not a rule, that's part of the last one.....Bah, I give up.

If anyone liked this, let me know. If you want to wage war with me over my observations, here's a disclaimer...The previously stated email is in my opinion. If you disagree, sorry, it's an opinion. Deal with it.





Men looking for "slim" women: click here to read the entire thread »

Speaking for men, since I am one, I have to say that I have always say I am looking for a slender woman. HEAR ME OUT! I read your post, please show me the same courtesy. I am 31, so I am not sure whether I fall into the old or young category, but here's my reasoning...

I am 5'6, 120 lbs. In a physical relationship, it is SAFER for me in some positions...Not that THAT is the only reason mind you, it is just one.

I also would like to be able to carry my girl over the threshold if we ever get married. But this isn't the whole of it, read on.

I worked with models and actresses in the past as a director, so I dated that type and found out something interesting...I don't like who they are. They were full of themselves for the most part, and eyed me as if I was pretty lucky to have them in some cases.

When I applied this thinking to some of the "hotties" I dated that weren't famous or anything, I got somewhat the same response. It is only when I started dating anyone I liked as a person that I enjoyed the time spent. So weight is not the thing for me, I will date a WHALE if we get along, have things in common, and like each other.

Here's MY pet peeve...As I said, I am 5'6. I get turned down because of THAT. Now I ask you, a woman can control her weight most of the time, but how the HELL can I control my height??? Tell me how THAT is fair.

I corresponded once with a very nice girl maybe 6 states away from me, and everything was great. Emails became telephone conversations, and days turned into weeks. About 6 weeks into it talking maybe every other day or so, we were making plans for me to come visit. We had exchanged pictures, etc. On the phone, it came up that I was 5'6. She was 6'1. Well, I would make do I figured, I mean, odd that it never came up, but whatever.

Nope. I am too short, and I got a nice lecture in logical reasoning from her why it would never work. Hm. Shallow? She never SEEMED shallow before, maybe it was she feared meeting, whatever.

Point is, I get shot down for my height all the time. I don't think 5'6 is SHORT mind you, it has to be around the average. 5'8 maybe? Whatever. I know women that have problems with inches ELSEWHERE too.
