Driving distance to your significant other

i don't care about your priorities. i'm not from oregon so i didn't realize that your oregon joke was a joke. it's not uncommon to see people who honestly stereotype people from outside the city as being people who stereotype; i had no reason not to assume that's what you were doing. sorry if i misunderstood your intentions.

 

Also, in all seriousness, the demographic here does get less liberal the farther away you get from the urban centers and universities, and I don't see why a conservative guy would be interested in me. I am sure there are quite a few bleeding heart pinko commies in the suburbs too, but again, if I dated someone that far from here they would have to be willing to come to me 90% of the time, and that seems so one-sided as to be totally unfair.

 

I didn't crack that joke, poorly delivered though it was, until after you had written two posts questioning my preference to date someone within a close proximity of me, and that other guy called me "fucken lazy". I think I would have interpreted that as curiosity if you had asked why, rather than, honestly, coming across as if you were challenging or mocking my preference.

 

i wrote one post questioning your preference to date someone within a close proximity of you (actually that's not even entirely true; almost everyone prefers to date someone close by, but you stated it as essentially an absolute requirement). and i wrote one post that simply pointed out the fact that it is possible to take a neuroscience job and not live in the city. i'm not that other guy, and i never quoted or referenced his post in any way, so i'm not sure how he affects how i came across.

 

You came across as being somehow affronted by my preference, and I have no idea why you would challenge my statement that I don't plan on moving to the country. I don't know why you would give enough of a shit even to question it, and it came across as less a question than a challenge. I mean, WTF with "pointing out that the fact that it is possible to take a neuroscience job and not live in the city"... why? Who the fuck are you that you even have an opinion on where I might live or my future plans or who I feel like dating or how far I'll drive?

 

Basically, you seem determined to have a problem with me limiting who I'm willing to date and how far I'm willing to travel to date them... and I think that what and who goes in my vagina, and how I decide, is none of your fucking business. If I'll only date Asian guys from the Concordia neighborhood with a PhD in physics and five chickens in their backyard, but only if they drive a 1972 Ford pickup, that's my prerogative.

 

jesus christ, i didn't challenge you, i engaged in conversation. i will be sure to refrain from doing that in the future.

basically, you seem to be crazy.

 

Basically, you seem to have no manners. Do you "engage in conversation" with people face-to-face by making fun of or challenging their innocuous responses to benign questions? That can't be working out very well for you in terms of making friends.

 

hes going the distance..

 

On a lighter note... 500 miles for me. & I would travel more if I had too. Just for my boy, but no one else. His heart and soul made the distance worth it. But now we're together, but the 500 miles was tough. 8 hour drive. But totally worth it.

:snowkiss:

 

do you make up random false interpretations of what people say to you in real life, and then spend the next several days trying to start a fight with them over your random false interpretations, fully ignoring everything they say to you in the meantime?

 

Only when I'm bored.

Sounds like you need a nap, Mr. Snarkypants.

 

driving distance WAS 2 560 kilometres...that's 1 590.7 miles.

now just a distant memory.

 

Ive driven over an hour I dont mind it.
