8/23 What is a proper reaction when you bump into an ex-GF with whom you
had a nasty breakup? (Or ex-BF). I pretended that I didn't see her
and walked right on and did not look at her. There are probably
different reactions in different situations:
a) I was walking alone and she was with a guy
\_ I'd look at who she was with but not at her
b) I was with a girl and she was alone
\_ not surprising to see no replies in this section.
\_ Ask for a threesome.
c) I was with a girl and she was with a guy
\_ same as (a).
\_ ATTENTION BDG! What would you do if you bumped into your ex-wife
on the street? -bdg's #1 fan
\_You should grab her breasts instead of shaking her hand.
\_ Sorry, you're not in Japan.
\_ Don't be pathetic. Smile, wave, say hi, get over youself already.
Sheesh. Did you learn anything growing up? -aspo
\_ There is this old saying: 'Man, to thyself be true.' It applies
in this case. Most people dislike their ex-girlfriends. I will
not smile, or wave, or say hi to someone I do not like. This
isn't being immature, it is being true to myself. You, aspolito,
are a conniving little shit. You are not true to yourself.
\_ It's not an old saying, it's your incredibly poor
misquotation of Shakespeare, Hamlet Act I, Scene 3,
Polonious:
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
are people so afraid to show their true feelings?
And, frankly, you seriously missed the point.
\_ you know he's right. unless you want to remain an immature
sodan geek with no social skills forever.
\_ well, if it was a "nasty breakup" why should you smile and
wave? that's just being unrealistic.
\_ No, that's being cordial. Do you wear your heart on
your sleeve for everything?
\_ there's a difference between wearing your heart on your
sleeve and outright being false. i wouldn't do anything
in particular but i sure wouldn't put on some fake act.
the whole assumption here was that we're not friends,
presumably anti-friends, for some reason. the way people
put on fake acts for each other is such bullshit. why
are people so afraid to show their true feelings? i have
second thoughts about people who act one way in front of
someone and then different behind their back. it's kind
of like lying, morally.
\_ so why don't you sign your name, coward? -tom
\_ why are you so interested in my name, fag?
\_ Well it sure is easy to be "honest" and
call people names when you hide behind
anonymity. -tom
\_ So you'd rather that everyone who dislikes you
assaults you when they see you? I'd prefer the
alternative where they pretend that they don't
want to beat me up, even though you think that's
"lying, morally".
\_ Maybe that's because you're a cowardly little shit.
If they hate me then yeah I'd like to know, so I
know to watch out for them. Nails under my tires,
and all that.
\_ No, it's called being polite.
\_ it isn't about "lying, morally" you whiny little
shit. It is about being a reasonable person and
not so self-absorbed you hold onto things forever.
You dated this person, you presumably at one point
cared about this person. The least you can do is
say hi to them. It isn't about being polite, it is
about having a little respect for people even when
you don't get along with them.
That being said if it was a really ugly breakup you
allowed a few months where you can sulk and be an
annoying little twit and do tihngs like ignore someone
although if you are a big enough man you wouldn't
have to. -aspo
\_ oh and it is quite possible to smile, wave, and
say hi without actuing like you are buddy-buddy
-aspo
\_ Wow. Aspo giving girlfriend advice. What do you know about
women, aspo? Heck, what do you know about men?
\_ more than most sodans. -aspo
\_ Stop digging dude.
\_ what you want a resume of the people I've dated? -aspo
\_ Let me know when you get to China.
\_ Ask for a quick fuck.
\_ d) You were with a girl and your ex-GF was with a girl, and your
ex-GF were trying to approach your girl why she had become a
lesbian.
e) I was with yermom and she was with yerdad
\_ I agree with aspo. -ausman
\_ Is aspo some religious figure like Paul?
\_ Yes, Aspo is my Lord and Master.
\_ He is when his cock is in your ass.
\_ I have read that in some cultures (e.g. Japanese culture), the
more formal and polite the are, the more it indicates your
dislike for a person (assuming you know them well enough to be
less formal). This isn't being false to yourself, but
demonstrating your dislike in a way that doesn't make you look
immature.
\_ those are fucked-up cultures. anyway, that's different than
"smile, wave, say hi". |
