RANT!!! Where are the unattached (het) guys?!!!?

I preface the subject with "RANT," because I'm mostly trying to blow off steam. But seriously, I go on the Internet and everywhere there's guys looking for women. Then I go out and all the guys I meet are already spoken for. Should I assume that the members of the Online Lonely Hearts Club Band never step out from behind their computers? Should I start issuing challenges to these guys to get off the Net and meet me in a public place?

They will respond to your Le Tigre paraphrase with either fear or excitement, for one. ;-)

Many indeed never step out from behind their computers. Including me, HA! But I'm spoken for, so hey. I suspect it's the usual combination of shyness in real life, vague objectification, seizing up in the presence of a real person, etc. etc. etc.

We go to record shops though!

Perhaps you should wear a sign when you're out: "lookin' for lovin'". Actually, yes, please do wear that sign. And get all your single friends to as well.

Josh's utopian vision has brought a small tear to my eye...

Alternatively we(the unattached) could all wear Online Lonely Hearts Club Band t-shirts.

― jel, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Lookin' For Lovin'" T-shirts on women: CLASSIC.
"Online Lonely Hearts Club" T-shirts on men: DUDUDUD!

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I dunno, Dan, I think it would be amusing to see you wear both at once. Or to walk down the street wearing the guy version while Joei wears the GURL one. Fun fun!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw a shirt saying "INSTANT SLUT: JUST ADD ALCOHOL!" but I doubt this is exactly what you're talking about.

― Ally, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I WANT ONE OF THOSE SHIRTS. Joei probably won't let me wear it, though. (She already frowns on the one with the fake name tag that says "Hello, my name is SATAN".)

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I REALLY wanted that shirt, I'll probably go back tonight and buy it. It made me laugh. There were loads of them along those lines. Though really I did have to wonder why there are so many shirts branding people sluts, bitches and whores - I mean, when did everyone become like me, wanting to call themselves things like that? IRONY HAS GONE TOO FAR.

― Ally, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can I put that on a T-shirt, Ally?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, you may. I give away slogans freely.

― Ally, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I decided I want to put slogans on shirts. I spent an hour today stitching the word "consortium" and it came out pretty messy. This interest won't last long.

So buy, Ally, buy. It looks more professional and wastes less time.

― Lyra, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am a t-shirt printing maniac. There is a print place just down the road from school that does it so cheaply, and when I want something new and funky I just dream up what I want a ka-blam, new t-shirt. I like the slogan of Ally's, can I put that on a t-shirt too? We could have a slogan swap meet, I'll give you one of mine.

Thumbs up to the higher geek percentage online. Also, its much easier to hit on a girl online because you aren't risking humiliation to the same extent.

Those shy little demure Japanese girls? They're way ahead of you.

*practically audible eye roll*

Anyhoo, I also saw a series of shirts tonight with "comedy" Chinese slogans that sound like dirty phrases. I worry about kids who wear such things, to be honest.

I will put "IRONY HAS GONE TOO FAR" on a shirt myself, like the Manics. you are all welcome to my slogans, it's all good.

And then a conversation which started off about unattached (het) guys became about t shirts,

― Ronan Fitzgerald, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Then I go out and all the guys I meet are already spoken for

Have you ever considered the possibility that they might just be telling you this to get rid of you?

― Nick, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"And then a conversation which started off about unattached (het) guys became about t shirts"

Don't worry Ronan, thread mutation is du rigour around here.

― jel, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Quite so, Ronan. Go with flow. Though I think I had to get the cheese one back on track because I'm snobbish that way.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But you didn't get back on track at all. Tom was asking what trashy food we liked (to go with his Kraft cheese slices fixation) and you said "The real question is: unpasteurised cheese vs. pasteurised cheese", which it patently wasn't.

― Nick, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my conspiracy theory: all threads of great importance to us IL* singles is hijacked and has its subject changes by the selfish, attached posters. is same reason topic of IL* singles ads board is always skirted round and never answered.

― m jemmeson, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE ME. Except you are right. *breaks down in floods of tears*

I think this last post says more about unattached het guys than I ever wanted to know

I have some single guy friends. They're in London, though. And I think they're probably more into random sex than they let on.
