The Story of How I met My wife:

A bit off topic but may put a smile on your and others face...

Many, many years ago I worked as a line cook at a local Philly Department Store restaurant. Well a new pretty and witty waitress started who wouldn't take any crap from us cooks. One day she said, "I hear you are looking for some weed - I have some to sell if your interested?"

I said sure and the next day she came in with a brick of Mexican still wrapped in red paper with a wax seal. I grabbed a bread knife and cut off a quarter of the brick; gave her $10-, rolled and smoked a joint with her.

The rest is history...We have been together 37 years this October. By the way the pot sucked! It was full of seeds and twigs but I didn't have the balls to tell her till years later.

Many, many years later the CEO, COO and I were on the road pushing our stock (Had Just gone IPO). We were out at some steak house in Boston with some investors from Charles Schwab. To break the ice our CEO said, O-Kay how did you meet your wife. Well everybody told their story and it was the usual stuff like, high school / college sweetheart, blah, blah, blah. When they came to me. I told the story I wrote above. Well when I was done you could hear a pin drop!

My CEO was giving me stinky eye and everyone else was staring at their plate when the biggest of the Schwab big wigs broke out in hearty laugh...Then everyone else nervously laughed along with him.

He said something about honesty and some other things...The next day Charles Schwab bought 100,000 shares of our stock.  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

By the way I was never invited back to do another "road show." ;-)

I'm not married yet but I'll tell you my story about my first girlfriend here goes, I started my 7th grade year about 7 years ago and I was a little bit nervous and lost, I was wandering down the halls looking for my locker when out of the corner of my eye I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever saw Lizzie (not real name), anyway long story short she helped me that whole entire day getting to my locker, finding my classes, and even finding the cafeteria yeah I was that lost hehehe. However the relationship lasted until the end of my 7th grade year and she was a Freshmen and she had got to High School and we had to breakup. Well I think I've said enough, ofcourse I've had other girls but none were serious as Lizzie, and now I think about it I miss her man  :'( oh well.

Yeah ALEX you should definately facebook stalk her. I mean you dont know how she has changed since then. If its for the worst then you can just closer the browser window and move on. If it is for the better or she hasnt changed too much then send a pm.


Alot of the ladies I knew back in the day have changed and some have hit new highs while other have hit new lows. YMMV.

My story's about the same as Reaver's. Met my wife in high school. My senior year. Her junior year. She got pregnant the year after she graduated and we were already engaged before that. Been together almost 12 years and married for 8. She's a great wife and mother.

I had a couple "best friends" growing up. Jeff was one of them. We even joined the Navy the same time. I called his Mother MoM, he called my mother Mom, etc. He was with a girl that he lived with, he, her and I would go out partying together, etc. she used to babysit my son. (from another women). We were friends, but no more than that. Never flirted or anything. He got to drinking a lot. I mean like alcoholic drinking. He started changing. Only hung out with his good time friends from the bar. Started getting pretty nasty. Really started treating her like s@#t. She didn't deserve it. Started being an asshole toward me. It wasn't any jealousy thing. He knew we were just friends, her and I. He even said that. There wasn't anything going on. He would do weird shit when it was just him and her at their place.  Like playing with his knives and guns to intimidate her. Saying freaky shit. One night, we were all hanging out at their place, and he and her got into it, in the house. I was outside, trying to mind my own business. She came out of the house scared shitless. She said she called her dad to come get her. She had tried making him leave for months prior to this. Like I said, he got freaky, and just refused to leave. He slept on the couch. He and I grew up together, but it was like I didn't know this guy anymore. He was somebody different. The booze really got to him. I rented an apartment, where I lived by myself. Anyway, her dad showed up, gave my buddy a piece of his mind, loaded  up some things, and got her in the truck. She didn't know what to do with her stuff. I mentioned I had some room for her to put some stuff. I went home. Her dad asked her, where ya going kid? She told him, out to my place. It's been about twenty years, and she hasn't left yet. Guess she's having trouble finding a place. Since then, he straightened out some, and we are all still friends. Nobody has held any grudges.  He is still an alchy though. Sad. We haven't hung out in quite awhile. No particular reason. Just the way things are. Jobs and time and stuff. Her and I started out just friends. It grew to be more in time. I don't think Harlequin will be contacting me though.

WW, it looks like we all tried the car for a few years before we bought it. Of the 36 years my wife and I have been together, the first 9 years we lived in sin. I came from a pretty bad break-up between my mom & dad (Are any not bad break-ups). So I wasn't in a great hurry to get hitched.

I was just busting your balls, Mountain ;D  Before TG and I got together, I told some guy I had just started dating that I loved him just to get in his pants. That one was not a qualifying ride, but luckily I had gone to his place (smart move) so I never had to see him again :P

On another note, I'm so impressed by the men on SP that became fathers at a young age and embraced that role (the list goes beyond Rvr and WWR).  That really speaks to the level of honor and maturity exhibited by folks in this community [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

I've only had two girlfriends in the past, it was only after I started college. The first had an emotional breakdown after two weeks which was induced by college stress and family emergencies (I'd like to think that doesn't count....). The second just kind of lost interest after three months (despite frequent dates and tickets to see Phantom of the Opera on Halloween night). That was six years ago. I've pursued a few others since then, but none reciprocated to the point that a relationship developed.

But I got a great joke out of it. I figured out a way to tell if a girl's single just by making a few simple observations.

I call it: The Algorithm

Here's how it works.

1. Is she within your definition of attractive? (aka "she's cute" comes to mind as soon as you see her)

2. Does she share at least 5 similar interests or convictions about life?

3. Does she have a friendly personality and seem genuinely interested in the conversation?

If the answer to all three questions are "yes".....then she's taken! Move on.

I've found that The Algorithm is accurate about 90% of the time.  :))

My mother on the other hand is not amused....

My number want need in a women is humor.
My number two need in a women is smarts.
My number three, four and maybe five is physical attributes.
My remaining needs are interest in my and her hobbies.

Post by: thatGirl on April 10, 2013, 08:17:23 PM
@ CrystalHunter

BTW, according to some of my single lady friends, the algorithm you describe applies to men as well :)) 

You are currently working courageously hard to improve your health/fitness, which will also improve your self-confidence.  You are an intelligent man with a great sense of humor and a captivating writing style who is pursuing higher education-- as soon as that confidence kicks in, the fish will start biting. 

If I remember correctly, I want to say you're mid 20's???  Anywhere in the range of mid 20's to early 40's, some percentage of those women that are currently attached according to your algorithm, will become unattached as they realize that adult them has nothing in common with the boyfriends/husbands that they met in their late teens/early 20's (wipe that hopeful look off your face, TG, this doesn't apply to you ;D).  That's also when chicks actually start wanting a "nice guy" instead of just saying they want a "nice guy" while hopping up and down on the asshole jock. 

You certainly have to put yourself out there and be proactive, but I'm willing to bet you that the over-fished pond you're in is about to be restocked.  Be forewarned though, all women are crazy, just to varying degrees.  Shoot for slightly insecure and occasionally emotional/needy; avoid major daddy issues, compulsive liar, not sure whether she's about to cut your balls off or bake you a cake- manic.

For all of you single guys, especially the youngins (Alex), your number one priority should be yourself.  Focus on your own self-improvement goals, career, fitness, hobbies, etc... and don't get too wrapped up in old or new flames.  If you know yourself and feel good about who are and what you do, you'll attract women that promote that.  I know I've said it before, but you'll find that special someone soon enough, so don't waste too much of your time looking for or pining over women.  Just enjoy fleeting moments with all those not so special someones in the short interim before you meet the one.

I figure I'll give my account and TG can give his if he wants, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle...

I used to go to a lot of punk shows when I was 15-17 years old.  There was this hot punk kid (guess who) that was always at the shows, usually shit-faced drunk, spanging change to get in to the show.  My boyfriend at the time and some friends of mine knew TG, so we'd talk at shows and he'd tag along when my buddies would visit me at school.  TG and I were both in long-term relationships with other people throughout high school, and I apparently came across as such a bitch that nothing ever happened between us.

Fast forward to 19 years old.  TG and I run into each other at a coffee shop/music venue.  He had traded in his mohawk for a high and tight, nice fitting levis and cowboy boots.    I was newly single, had spent most of my dating years in shitty relationships and had no desire to jump into another one.  We quickly became best friends and spent the next several months playing an intense game of cat and mouse.  At a toga party, after a night of drinking, we finally hooked up.  A week or so later, TG consoled me over the Devil's loss in game 7 for the Stanley Cup, then gave me an ultimatum.  He wanted a girlfriend, not a bed buddy, and I had a week to agree or cut him loose.  Less than a week later, TG shows up at our coffee shop hangout with another chick.  Needless to say, we had our first fight as a couple that night and the other chick had to find another ride home...

I left out a few details in the story, like TG loaning 505th money to take me on a date before we got together, TG telling me that a buddy of his I'd shown interest in had the clap, which wasn't true, and an open ended threat I made to some of TG's female fan club to kick any chick's ass that made a move on him.  Here we are, nearly 12 years later.  He's not the same asshole I fell in love with, although he is still an asshole, and I only regret little of it :))

I must have forgotten to carry the 1 in my calculations or I'd have known the algorithm can go both ways (yes, I said it, laugh).

Great story Tgirl. Thanks for the advice and the compliments! It took me awhile to realize that I could have a much for fulfilling young life if I put girls aside for awhile. Not to get too deep on this topic, but I think society puts WAY too much pressure on young people to "get with" someone. The pool is certainly overfished. Locale doesn't help much either. But it's cool, got to spend all that money on books and guns!

Sound TRIBE Sector 9. Don't know what the band has to do with Walkers great advise though. Was there a specific song you were thinking about Ronin?

Walker, you would make a good business man the way you attack a situation!

My wife and our story was more about her being an eclectic gal vs. the everyday normal suburban princess. She told me later that she thought me "a little out there too" which appealed to her.

Well the two of us have done many things together, that other married people would never do.

Like you and yours Walker, we moved apart in spirit for a couple of years in the early '00's but have grown closer together than ever post then. And yes it is easy to say, "I forgive you" however very difficult to really forgive.  [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

Trust me, I was shocked that I had to go to extremes to get some.  The dude had decided to only have physical relations with someone he loved, I think he was a reformed slut.  I've never been one to give up easily.  I said something like "I know it's really early in the relationship, but I think I'm falling in love with you", he teared up and said he felt the same way.  At that time I would suddenly switch from being attracted to someone, to being repulsed by them in the drop of a hat.  I probably would have talked to the guy a couple more times, but he completely flipped his shit on me right after the deed was done, so I left and ignored his phone calls for a month or two until he got the point.   

I wasn't always the nice person that I am now :))

For a while the mohawk was blue, then yellow (I liked the yellow more).  Most of the time he didn't bother to spike it, he'd leave it down and put a driver's cap on (mmm...).  No earing, although he did have a bridge (straight bar piercings through bridge of the nose ) at one point.

Maybe TG will share a picture with you all someday.  Every now and then he let's me shave a mohawk on him for old time sake :D

Society definitely puts a lot of pressure on folks.  Here in New Mexico, it's almost unheard of to be my age and not be married or divorced with a children.  Unfortunately I was boy crazy from an early age, but I always envied people that were more focused on their educations and hobbies.  My brothers ignored chicks until later in life and they took much faster, easier routes through college and grad school than I have because they were single.  I think you are being wise...

But most girls in general dont like me other than as a friend, all the ones that i can put up with think im odd, probably cause im 16 and they think its weird that all i do is hunt, fish, martial arts, and stay outdoors. most of them like yuppie boys.

Yeah mountain I know the feeling about a few months there was this gorgeous girl I liked but she didn't like me that only as a friend , seems like I might be like this until I find somebody which could be a while and I'm no yuppie either.

How do you get out of the friend zone? I have a ladyfriend but havent made a move because Im broke. Like really really really broke. Hopefully thatll change soon but right now Im kinda in the area between the BFzone and the friendzone. As time goes by Im slowly slipping close into the orbit of the friendzone.

Im pretty sure if she spotted me with another chick she'd have a good cry so Im not in the friendzone just yet. [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

I'm going to offer up advice based on how I roll, which may be completely off base for the chicks y'all are talking up.

Friend zone or not, if a chick has any interest in you, there's always an opportunity to relocate from the friend zone to a warmer region down south, but it all depends on timing.  If the chick you like is actually worth her salt as a friend, she will shy away from the idea of a romantic relationship with you, because she values the friendship too much to risk it.  With that said, the number one thing you shouldn't do, is tell her how you feel or talk about having a romantic relationship with her.  Asking results in a yes or no answer, and as long as she's clear headed and in control, she'll probably say no. 

If you've already breached this topic with her before, she either told you that she loves you as a friend but doesn't feel what you're feeling, or she really likes you but isn't willing to risk the friendship.  If she gave the first answer, be glad that you have her as a friend and start looking elsewhere for your future girlfirend/wife.  If she gave you the second answer, move on to the next steps...   

Here's what you do:

Even if you're in the friend zone, if the chick digs you, she probably makes it a point to hang out with you a lot.  When you are hanging out, start doing the things that make you good boyfriend material: tell her she looks smokin' hot, open doors for her (car door too), pay the check or cook her dinner to save non-existent money, pay attention to her instead of scoping out other bitches, listen to her and try be sensitive to whatever she's yammering about (work, school, guy she likes, etc...), watch a movie she wants to watch, I could go on and on.  With that said, don't turn into a total pushover... 

At some point there will come a time when, if you were on a date with someone, the moment feels right to make a move.  This is where I agree with Mountain, make a move! You want to catch her at a moment when she's wishing for prince charming to put his arm around her and start getting cozy.  I'm not sure about other chicks, but watching a movie on the couch is pretty much always a green light.  If she lives alone, stopping by later on a weekend night when she's in PJs, eating icecream and feeling lonely might be good timing too, depending on the girl.

The idea is, you need to build the sexual tension without scaring her off.  You also want to start a physical relationship by taking advantage of the primitive female desire to feel protected and make babies (without actually making babies ;)), in a way that seems spontaneous so she has no time to think about it and talk herself out of it.  Once all of that has happened, behave however you always have with her as a friend, but be a little nicer and show a little more interest in her so she knows that nothing has changed with your friendship and that you are stand-up dude, boyfriend material as well.

Good luck!!!

Lets reel it back in folks. The subject line is: How did you meet your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend? I thought the subject would be fun not become so cerebral.

This subject is going off in a weird direction.

Here's some advice for you younger guys. Through my years of being around the fairer sex, I've learned that the ladies don't like for you to just rush into the subject of sex. They like for you to take time to get to know them first. They seem to like nice conversation, and like when you show an interest in the things they like. So if you see a lady that you would like to get to know, spark up a conversation. Just something random is fine. What I do, is say, "Excuse me, Do you like apples?" She'll say yes or no. Then I say, " Good, do you wanna f@#K?"

Mountains on the right track, take a trick out of the ovarian kind's playbook and ply her with liquor, make baby, drop to one knee and say you gotta do it for the baby then boom till death do you part. Or just start treating her like shit, that seems to drop the panties for some reason. Sound advice from years of federally funded scientific observation.  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

In my experience if you're in the friend zone you fucked up somewhere along the way. The only successful way to get out of it that I've seen is to charge the hill, you may get cut down, you may take the hill. Either way you won't have to sit there watching D-bag after D-bag occupy the trench.

High school sweethearts
Teen pregnancy case
Part of the 1% that doesn't have repeat children as a teen.
Part of the 3% that stay together past five years after a teen pregnancy.

How cute!
Sounds a lot like my 'how I met my ball & chain' story!

I know this sounds pretty cheesy, but I met mine at the dog park.  She hated me at first because my dogs were always messing with hers.... One marriage and a new baby later I think she got over it.

Exactly, I don't believe I could have said this any better myself. This is the best piece of advice if you want out of that 'friend zone'.

I like how you said ' in a way that seems spontaneous so she has no time to think about it and talk herself out of it' because it is SO true! You want to make it so there is no way for her deny she wants you as much as you want her. You have to lay it on her and just do it!

I suppose this is a dating site of sorts, definitely some bromance in the air...

Men seeking men to discuss survival fashion wear, beard grooming, DIY crafts, and food preservation while stroking each other's gun boners-- short and long barrels welcome (no-homo) ;D

BTW single guys- see if your local University has a forestry program or check out meetup.com for outdoors activities that draw outdoorsy folks.  I'm not sure there are a lot of women that come to prepping on their own without being coaxed/nagged incessantly by a boyfriend or husband , but it's an easy conversion if you start with the right kinda woman  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Great suggestion (s) TG!

One quick comment here from old JohnyMac.

Decide if you want to meet someone for some laughs and fun or you want to meet someone who will be a life partner.

I life partner will bring laughs and fun too, along with some tears and hard work. All more rewarding that a quick slap and tickle.

It's always a lot more fun and rewarding climbing that mountain with a friend than doing it by ones self.

one thing to remember, forestry/university girls are 99.9% complete tree hugging liberals

Yeah university girls are a no go for me. It drives me insane when i see a girls profile requiring guys with 4 year degrees and above. Not because i dont have one but because you just know they are brainwashed and will be fighting the liberal fight until the day they die. Why would a person REQUIRE that their potential partners be massively in debt and poorly educated. I run from college girls.
