Ladies - Do you seem to only attract weirdos??

I don't know. I bet the guys that date me think they only attract weirdos. Weirdos need love too!0

Yeah but mostly online. I tend to not be rude to people. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt even if they seem "off". It's bitten me a few times because they will turn needy/clingy and it's hard to extract myself because I still don't want to be mean.
Hubby is as normal as you can get though so yeah like I said mostly online in the past.0 -
(Just shakes head) How boring would the world be if we were all the same? Some of my best friends are those 'weirdoes' (at least according to others folks).
Am I one of those weirdoes, do not know really do not care. Pretty sure it depends on who is doing the observations.
I consider myself a pretty good guy. Extremely resourceful. Not as physical intimidating as I used to be, but I can be a lot more ruthless then I used to be. You would be surprise at what a cane can be used for in self defense. I will defend my beliefs, my family and my friends to the end, whether or not they fit the definition of society's 'normal' cause I know that when s**t goes down they have my back and I have theirs.
t know this, at the end of the day, I am not going to be the one to cast stones.

Kinda sad that nerds are included on your list. But I'm a nerd so I'm biased, oh well!
... xD Kinda feel like that's a bit childish to do (once you hit adulthood I feel like it's just kind of an unspoken understanding that you're someone's gf/bf after a few dates, no clarification needed unless there's honestly some confusion). *shrug*

I disagree. When I was just dating in my adult life, I always wanted to be 100% clear on what the terms of the relationship were. I had a couple guys who insisted that we were a monogamous couple after a couple of dates, even after I'd made it clear that wasn't my intention. It has always bothered me when guys assumed I was "only theirs" without even asking me about it, even in HS. :laugh:
Seems like an example of the part when I said "unless there's honestly some confusion". :P But in this case it seems like they didn't get it even after you clarified. xD Since I started dating as an adult I've only had an issue with one guy and it was the opposite - we had been going on a few dates a week and hanging out regularly and I thought we were a thing but then I started seeing him around campus hugging and kissing another girl so we chatted and he seemed shocked I thought we were monogamous. You just have to be clear with your intentions, and if being clear doesn't cut it then you have a decision to make whether or not you compromise and see how it works out or move on.
Wait, what? I feel like unless there was a conversation about being in a monogamous relationship, NO ONE should assume. I mean, I'm not going to tell a guy that I just met that I've gone on two dates with another guy and have another planned. I may even kiss them both (I know, I'm such a *kitten*). That's what dating is about... is it not?
ETA: I haven't met a guy that after two dates I have decided I've met THE ONE. I'm not putting all of my metaphorical eggs in one basket until I'm sure that I want him fertilizing them.0 -
Like attracts like, in my case :laugh: Fortunately I found one I can't let go :smooched:
this,:huh: Judgmental much? My husband is a weirdo and I love him for that. So what if a guy lives in his mom's basement, has long hair or is into comics/sci-fi/etc? That doesn't make him less of a person or less worthy of having a girlfriend. Weirdos are the most awesome people I know.
and this
I lived with my mother, though in south Texas folks rarely have basements (dodged that bullet) and I did grow my hair out in anticipation of the Age of Conan release (to be more barbaric for launch day) and have named at least one party member in every RPG Shepard (yes, from Baldur's Gate to D&D). With that said, my wife saw through that to something else that she fell in love with. I realize she was a bit embarrassed when I wore my Spider-Man mask to opening night, or stood up and clapped at the end of Fellowship of the Ring, but if you ask her, she wouldn't have it any other way.
It would be my highly theorized opinion from the very little information gathered from your one post, that maybe while you are sitting upstairs wondering why he doesn't ever come up and pay attention to you, he is sitting downstairs staring at the second controller wondering where his healer is. Who is going to throw a phoenix down and bring him back to life...

Normal is boring. Stop trying to be normal. Weird is interesting.
Embrace the freakiness.0 -
i wish i was special
you're so very special
but i'm a creep
i'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
i don't belong here.0 -
I attract the normal guys. There's only room for one weirdo in my relationships.0

You call it stalking. I call it taking the same route as you.0

Everybody's weird in their own way - it's what makes you an individual
Lot's of people feel uncomfortable/nervous talking to the opposite sex, not just geeky guys, but girls as well, it's the whole "not wanting to make a fool of yourself thing" some people are better at it than others thats all.
Personally I always just talk to unknown people like their mates, which has probably been the cause of many missed opportunities0 -
I apparently attract several 'types'...couldn't tell you why, though! But, I don't date...I hate it! I am socially awkward anyway, then throw me somewhere with a stranger?? Nope! (Give me a bottle of wine and it's a totally different story!) And somebody mentioned earlier about the "baby" "muffin" etc......just fricken TRY to call me 'pet names', seriously! I have one guy right now trying to get me to go out with him that calls me his "red headed goddess".....ummm......really????0

Hi everyone -
I've noticed that most of my adult life, I have managed to attract only one "type" of guy... you've probably never seen him, because he's always playing video games in his mom's basement. Or perhaps you have seen him because he will often frequent such places as fast food restaurants where he will be eating alone, or public transportation because he doesn't own a car or maybe you work with one of these people and he's that guy that brings the same thing in for lunch everyday and really needs a haircut.
Well if he's always in his parents basement, or frequenting bus stops, or public transportation due to not owning a car and you meet him all the time doesn't that mean YOU are always in his mom's basement or at a fastfood joint or a bus stop because you don't own a car? Seems like you're just sticking with your own on this one.0 -
I can't be sure, but I think that Follow_Me might be following me... WEIRDO! ;-)0

This particular guy and I had been seeing each other for about 6 months when this happened, so I don't think it's wrong that I assumed we were a couple. Anyway, I was 19. No biggie.
The last few guys I've gone on dates with though, after just one date they'd be requesting changing statuses to "in a relationship" on Facebook and stuff like that.
Whoa, slow down. 
About the assuming part though.. I just think specifically asking "will you be my girlfriend?" is a bit childish. Just kind of my opinion.0 -
I'm weird.
I have the o often....in fact last night....
nevermind.
I'm weird.0 -
I can relate. I attract a variety of weirdos...I think it partially has to do with having red hair.
I realized one day though that it probably has something to do with me being weird too.0 -
Define "weirdos"?
Forget defining weird. . define "normal"!0 -
Occam's razor?I'm talking about the "weird" guys... the oftentimes scrawny, nerdy, socially-awkward (and I mean in a if-a-girl-simply-makes-eye-contact-he-thinks-shes-flirting kind of awkward). For some reason, I only come across guys that are extremely socially inept. I find it odd because while I'm not the total opposite of that, I consider myself generally pleasant and am able to communicate in an effective way with the majority of society.
Yus. My inclination is yusss.

I am only attracted to weird, odd, interesting ,fascinating probably slightly mentally unstable people
:flowerforyou: :blushing:
Oh wait, you said slightly mentally unstable...
Are you flexible about that, heavenly blessed beauty?0 -

Lol this! Where are you finding these guys, the local high school? Stop dating guys you meet at bus stops, fast food places and basements. That should turn things around.0 -

For some reason, I only come across guys that are extremely socially inept. I find it odd because while I'm not the total opposite of that, I consider myself generally pleasant and am able to communicate in an effective way with the majority of society. I've had several boyfriends who have no friends and lots of mommy issues. Mind you, yes, some of this interaction has taken place online and that certainly draws a particular crowd, but seriously, every. single. guy. is. weird.
I'm just wondering where these people come from and why can't I have a "normal" person make advances towards me? Currently experiencing a public transit stalker.
OP I can sort of relate how you feel.
I've been trying to figure out why I grab some really strange guys attention. My problem is that I seem to attract the guys who are either way too old for me or care more about the 'high' of getting laid/satisfied rather than seeing me as a person.
Granted I look younger than I actually am, and I admit I have a dirty mind (in all honesty ladies who doesn't? lol) and online role playing is fun from time to time; but that does not give them the right to use me as a one night stand because "I look/sound sexy" (the really strange guys quote not mine and I get that a lot).
It makes sense why I hang out with the nerds because they don't evaluate me for "a score" and focus on knowing me for my likes/interests/conversations.0 -
I seem to attract the emotionally unavailable and/or married.0

I'd ask "How you doin" but my wife says I should play it coy.0 -
Ok, I won't be around the bush. Humans know their leagues and stay within their leagues.
There is a reason Brad Pitt gets the Jennifer's and Angelina's of the world and why Pee Wee Herman gets the Mindy's of the world.
maximus which league do u fit in brad pitt or pee wee?0 -
What if I am the weirdo?
Yeah I guess skinning cats while listening to Thunderkiss '65 wouldn't preclude you from that label.0 -

I think it would be awesome to be in Pee Wee's league.
All the weirdos I want!
Perhaps....
Probably not :sad: :sad: :sad:0
