Why do I keep falling for the crazy ones?

[DarkTirade]

I mean, I know I'm interested in like-minded people... but still. Couldn't I find one quirky enough to be interesting, but not quite crossing that line over into crazy-land?

[Bicoastal]

1. Crazy sex = !!! nt

[DarkTirade]

3. Yeah, but what about the ones who are so crazy that you don't even get sex?

Don't get me wrong, I've had some damn good crazy sex before. I took a girl back numerous times when I shouldn't mainly because of that. But I've also fallen head over heels for a few people who weren't emotionally available for sex and sometimes even not even for dating.

[Bicoastal]

6. Can't help you there, man.

Maybe it's the fire in their crazy eyes that sets you aglow.

[DarkTirade]

8. ... yeah, more than likely.

:shrug:

[fizzgig]

2. *looks around*

there's a line?

[DarkTirade]

4. I didn't say it was a clearly defined one. :)

[fizzgig]

17. i don't think it's even visible

been crossed so many times it may be just a myth

[DarkTirade]

18. No, man... the line is like... an artificial construct made by our MINDS...

... or something like that. :P

[fizzgig]

19. it's another tool of the MAN, man

he's just trying to keep us down and push us into the box of normality. but ya know what, i'm a round peg and i won't fit in no square hole

[DarkTirade]

22. You're a round peg? *snort* Conformist.

I'm a figure 8 peg.

[ThomCat]

5. Serves you right

for turning me down! x(




:P
Kidding, of course. :hug:

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

9. What? No, I meant on, not down. On!

:P

[ThomCat]

11. Oh, that's A LOT better.

:7
Is it my turn to make breakfast? :P

[DarkTirade]

12. Well, I was gonna supply dessert...

:evilgrin:

[Wapsie B]

7. You too huh?

:shrug:

[DarkTirade]

10. I'm not giving you any of their numbers!

:P

[Wapsie B]

13. Thanks bro, I'll owe ya.

No way do I need or want any more of that. :P

[DarkTirade]

14. Although, go figure, the one who's all stable and sane now

just started flirting with me... AFTER I just moved across the country.

D'oh. :P

[billyskank]

15. Because there's only crazy ones.

Sane people are a myth. They don't exist. Just crazy fuckers.

[DarkTirade]

16. Good point.

The ones I'm not attracted to are crazy too... just in a way that I don't find attractive. :)

[Chovexani]

20. Because we're entertaining.

:evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

21. I prefer to us the word 'interesting'.

'Entertaining' makes it sound like I'm using people for my own entertainment, and I don't do that to people I really like.

Much.

:P

23. They're good at faking what you're looking for

If you're male, craziness can be mistaken for a "passionate" (i.e. sexual) nature.

If you're female, craziness can be mistaken for an interesting personality.

For either sex, if the object of your affections is sociopathic, then s/he is good at faking whatever you want.

[DarkTirade]

25. I've never dated someone THAT crazy.

I've just found people who end up having a few more issues than I'm willing/able to deal with.

[Phillycat]

24. The common denominator is YOU.

Try some therapy.

[DarkTirade]

29. Jeez, take it easy.

I'm not talking about psycho stalk-you-and-threaten-your-new-SO crazy, just people with a few issues.

[Phillycat]

34. It doesn't need to be psycho-stalk-you.

If you find that the women you date all have enough emotional baggage that you aren't able to have lasting relationships with them, you are choosing the wrong women.

I didn't mean to be harsh, and my initial post was possibly rude. I meant it sincerely though. You should look at yourself and see why you keep choosing these women with emotional problems. I meant it as helpful, tho' I didn't phrase it very well. :)

[DarkTirade]

35. Well I don't think who I'm attracted to can really be changed.

I look for people who are outside the norm, and I figure there's always gonna be a higher percentage of people out there that have issues than the rest of the world. I can't date boringly normal people. I don't want to date them. They don't want to date me. There's nothing in common there, and nothing we'd find the slightest bit interesting about each other. I'd just like to find people like me who are outside the norm... the weirdos who don't have relationship-crippling issues to deal with.

Extra points if said person is hot though... :P

[Phillycat]

36. To some extent, attractiveness is hard-wired.

I found in my case that the healthier I became, the healthier the people I was attracted to became. It was like magic! It was only after doing some hard work on myself that I met my husband, at 34, and we are probably the boringly normal people of which you speak. :) But we're damned happy.

[mikeytherat]

26. It all evens out...

[DarkTirade]

30. Oh no, I ain't fallin' for that one again...

:P

[mitchum]

27. Nelson Algren: "Never sleep with a woman who has more problems than you do"

wise words from a wise man

[DarkTirade]

28. A wise man, or a wise guy? :)

In either case... good words to live by.

[NMDemDist2]

31. what is it about YOU that you are drawn to the 'crazy ones'

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

37. ... okay, so the attraction's mutual...

the crazy ones like me too. Forgot about that. :P

[kwassa]

32. The crazy ones are exciting, for awhile.

then the drama really gets going ..... and after going down several of those roads on long meaningless melodramatic trips, you realized you could have exited a long time before, without banging up the fenders, smashing the lights, and losing the transmission on that big rock in the road.

It took me a long time to learn that I could be attracted to women who were really bad for me. I didn't stop being attracted, I just stopped acting on it. I learned to discern a little more, about what was good, and what was bad.

[DarkTirade]

39. I don't tend to date people who stir up a lot of drama...

there are plenty of other ways one can be crazy. :)

[KamaAina]

33. Because opposites don't really attract?

:evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

38. Hey, other than my explosive flatulence, I don't have any relationship-ending quirks...

:P
