I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!
YELLOW FLAG.
Dude,
Rule 1: Never Talk about fight club.!
Rule 2: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
Seriously Man. If all know about this, and eveything is casual that's fine, if they both think they're exclusive then you gotta decide. It seems you cannot lose. Look at it this way. You've been fishing and had a great day out but you can only pull one prize fish onto the boat to take home.
Not that women are fish but we're all swimmers here...
Whatever you do don not make a list comparing the 2 girls. Choose with your heart.

That is why Rich is the Swim Stud:applaud: :applaud:
Les- being a butterflier might have invoked my flight response...she went to two meets: one US Northwest Zones where she won her races comfortably, then a LC meet the next month where she decided to do her first 200 brst in 17 years...ingnored my sage advice to take it out easy and split the first 100 at the same time she did the individual 100, the rest was very, very ugly. ...
Peter:
Good thing you could still clinch the deal after inflicting that 200 breaststroke on her ... Is she still swimming or just riding?
I myself enjoyed/enjoy watching my husband run. I knew he wasn't trouble, however, and I liked that fact. Unlike most women, I'm not attracted to true bad boys. I agree with Rich's "only one prize fish" rule. I think relationships tend to work better if the man is "good' and the woman is "trouble" -- in a fun way.
I've always dug endurance athletes: runners, tris, swimmers, etc. Speaking hypothetically of course, flyers definitely do not invoke my flight response. I seem strangely attracted to flyers and breaststrokers. It must be the short axis thing ... I guess I did date one sprint freestyler back in the high school/college era. There are no masters swimmers at law firms, so you have to look to other sports. I guess you got lucky.
Les- neither right now. She decided swimming just for fitness and her prized 8 yr old morgan-cob cross died suddenly on us (only 8 yrs old, a rare disease), so she is reluctant to involve again. And as you know, my business went belly up this year, so can't afford horses or swim trips right now. But we have each other, and oh right, the kids too.
You have had a rough year! I grew up surrounded my horses (Arabs) and my Mom was hooked on Morgans. Her horse that she rode in the mountains in AZ died this year. She was absolutely devastated and is also reluctant to involve again.
Just keep giving us all that lovely purple prose from all those books you've read. I'm sure the kids will keep you busy ... at least until you can watch the Mariners again. And you've still got that hot auburn hair and the memories! I myself must now go pick up my own little breaststroker from swim practice.

Awh, you should be the swim stud.
Dorian, for all you know these girls are dating others, too ... just don't lead them on. Be straight forward and honest, and as things move along eventually you will need to decide.
Fort, I am also attracted to a variety to swimmers - the swimmer body is best, but runners are fine too. Tris - eh ... they can be a bit maniachial (or however you spell that word) Flyer and breaststroker bodies are awfully nice though ..
Women are trouble!
I swam a LCM meet 2.5 years ago and entered a couple events just for Sheets and Googles, and so I could get some times. Had broken up with a swimmer girl that week, and was already peeved/heartbroken when she showed up with a male escort to the meet. I get in the water for one of these new events, the 200 LCM Back, and what do you know, there is this beautiful young girl in the lane next to me. Well, I didn't want to lose a girl and then lose TO a girl too in the same week. Took the race out pretty quick, but that beautiful young gal in the lane next-door was pretty quick and mowed me down in the last 50. How embarassing. I was really mad, and she would be referred to as "that f-in girl" in later stories.
Long story short, actually ended up meeting her at a later meet, started talking, figured out she was "that f-in girl," and have now been together for 19+ months. How sweet. :smooch:
Troubling part is I am still a sucker for a 200 back :dedhorse:

Muppet:
You did good. But I thought it was Tricks & Giggles? Sheets & Goggles is much funnier ... :rofl: Now, if you would just stop making those "loser buys dinner" bets, you'd get even more of those :hug:
Quicksilver:
So are you getting or not getting beer? You sound rather single or "unmarried."
FlyQueen:
Tris can be maniacal. Some are still hot. Runners are too, unless they are skinny and anemic. That's not appealing. Swimmers are best. Hope you catch a good one soon. Stay away from those ivy league lawyers. Nothing but trouble. Or boredom.
Notice the original poster dropped off...
he:
a) Got arrested for shop lifting and is serving a short spell at Levenworth.
b) Got the girl and is too busy with her and no longer posts here
c) Failed in his attempt to land the beauty and cannot face the crowd.
PS Forty ...where do you find this stuff. Of course women are trouble...and they know it...it's like that moth to the flame thing...or should that analogy be "buttlerflier to the shoulder doc?"
my new policy is not to participate in a thread dug up from the ancient past.
so consider this a no-post!
This does not seem to be the way to get the girl.
