Full page sex ads in the back of your local weekly should work.

I predict this thread gets dumber faster than the last one.

I'm not sure that's possible.

Just put a picture of your cleaveage there, it should work like a miracle.

go on the internet.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

UGH! i already looked there! it's all a bunch of boys saying "i'm really good at programming. my favorite books are the lord of the rings trilogy and harry potter."

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

oh i meant okcupid, but also the internet.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

getting boys ain't hard, man.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

The serious answer: it depends on what sort of boys you want to meet. If you want to meet literate boys, go to a library. If you want to meet artful boys, go to an art gallery. If you want to meet educated boys, go to an university lecture. If you want to meet boys who are into music, go to a gig. If you want to meet boys who are into the same type of music you are, go to a gig of a band you like.

Just concentrate.

I would like to meet boys with whom I share no common interests. Where should I go?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

a NASCAR race?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

To a Rammstein gig.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i really like how this hasn't turned dumb yet! i think i spend about 15 hours a week in the library. that is the location where i would most like to meet a boy. the problem is i go to a school where the boys are generally either very career focused (interested in having a lot of money, red car, supermodel wife), very uh...computer oriented (interested in playing final fantasy for very long periods of time), or just very boring. i guess "so not noize" would best describe most of them.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean that it hasn't turned as dumb as jon's thread.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm, have you tried any other libraries than the one at your school?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

you're friends with Jon, right?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(A romance which began at the library would sound über-romantic to my ears, by the way.)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

YEAH WE'RE FRIENDS.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

email me a pretty picture of yourself, then ask jon to give you 10 reasons why I'm cool!

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost - get him to introduce you to his guy friends!

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM UGLY. i love library romance.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

re xpost: I am one of Jon's guy friends. One of his sexy guy friends.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost - oh so that's why you don't have a myspace photo?

< /internet crepe >

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I am one of Jon's guy friends. One of his old and unemployed guy friends.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i hate myspace! i have a friendster photo. :(

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

cuz myspace is weird and I don't really like it.

here is my picture: ihttp://www.80scartoons.co.uk/fragglerock4.jpg

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

oh you are not ugly and it's cool that even while homeless you have the internet.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm one of jon's guy friends too.

I don't think I met Caitlin when I visited Jon in teh Rochester, though. That was a long time ago.

I think, Caitlin, you should go up to the boys in the library who are looking at things that interest you. And disucss them. Okay?

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

No one's ugly, really. I mean, objectively.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

You should approve this request only if you really are friends with Joel.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Step 1: Spy boy who you'd like to know
Step 2: Go up to boy and start conversation. About anything. Boys LOVE it when girls talk to them.
Step 3: Ask boy if he'd like to come over.
Step 4: Cunnilingus.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't mean that seriously. i'm sorry! ian c===============8: i didn't know jon until last february.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

caitlin I can't find your Friendster page. Is it under a different e-mail?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, yes. i'm friendsters with jon, you can find me. i've left him a comment recently enough, i believe. boy i'm really glad i'm on the internet instead of doing homework right now.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

See, you've already sparked the interest of several boys, it's that easy. Never mind they're InterWeb creeps...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

what, we're not friends now?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

no one's an InterWeb creep, objectively, Tuomas.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Creeps? Hardly! CAITLIN CAN I HAVE NEKKID PHOTOS PLZ THX

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 4 October 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I disagree. Beauty is subjective, but creepiness is objective.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I object to that.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i love the internet

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

awesome, we are friends.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I added you. You're not ugly. You'll meet cool dudes someday. Don't give up.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm a little bit dejected now because i just sort of broke up with a boy that was totally noize and smart.

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

You'll get over it, and then you'll have your pick at libraries, gigs - whatever you're looking for.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

The way this thread has turned out (despite all the expectations) is very sweet.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

heh...i told him i wouldn't find anyone more noize and he said, "well, you're really cute you just have this sort of 'don't flirt with me' body language." but i'm sort of proud of that somehow. also i am tall and not dumb and i'm told i'm an excellent cook. maybe i will be ok!

and this thread is very nice! thank you internet!

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Monday, 4 October 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps we aren't creeps after all.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

id say talk to them but that tactic has failed me plenty of times.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 02:00 (twenty-one years ago)

― Professor Challenger (ex machina), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Caitlin, what sort of boys do you want to meet? The problem with the library is that it's hard to talk. Maybe look for boys who read outside and are reading something interesting and then you can talk to them about it. But it depends on what kind of boys you'd like to meet.

Most boys are probably just going to be excited that a girl bothered to approach them.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

getting boys ain't hard, man.

see, that was my first thought, too. "what? girls can get anybody that want!" etc. but being empathetic for a moment, i realize that there's another issue: getting boys without seeming like a ho. *that's* the trick.

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

don't worry caitlin, i find it really difficult to find boys too. and i spend lots of my time at the library too. i feel your pain!

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Book shows ;)

― Sara Sherr, Tuesday, 5 October 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

dig around on friendster/myspace/orkut/etc. find somebody interesting. send them a message saying "hi, you look like you're cool. wanna get a beer?"(or somesuch)

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

but sara, how can you meet boys at a show you've booked? first off, forget the band, no matter how hot they may be. its a bad business move to be a promoter and sleep with your bands. secondly, dont even bother trying to pick up anyone in the audience [even if you get a free moment] cause if you do go out and it ends poorly, there's one less person who will show up at your club.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Cookie, you're comic.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 5 October 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Boys are overrated.

Sigh.

― what katie didn't do, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Take the title of this thread. Substitute the word "men" for the word "boys." That way you might have more success.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

"Men" tend to have too many issues. Get them when they're still boys, before anyone else has had a chance to ruin them!

― what katie didn't do, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, all sounds a bit dodgy, a bit Jonathan King at the Walton Hop.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Boys are always boys - it is an incontestable fact of life.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never in my life been called a boy, even when I was one.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Boys will be girls and girls will be boys, it's a mixed up, muddled up world...

― what katie didn't do, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not a boy, not yet a mang

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm with kate. anyone that's too mature to be called a boy is probably too full of issues that i don't want.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I am considerably more interested in meeting "women" than "girls." At my time of life, wanting to meet "girls" has creepy paedo overtones.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

mmm pedantry - it's funny how 'baby' became such a popular term too

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:07 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, "Dirty Rock Boy" sounds charming and fun. "Dirty Rock Man" just sounds icky and sick.

The day I stop thinking of myself as a "girl" and start thinking of myself as a "woman" is the day that I will surely shoot myself. I am growing old disgracefully, and I'm proud of it.

(Don't make me get my mum on this thread to talk about her "Red Hat Society" and all...)

― what katie didn't do, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

marcello, i'm not trying to say what's right for you, i just don't think you should criticize caitlin for saying she wants to meet 'boys'. clearly, the two of you are looking for different things, and so it's actually handy that you have different terms for things.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Never mind all that, I want to hear more about this Red Hat Society!

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

please, no.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

it would certainly seem odd for a man or woman of a certain age or above to be excitedly talking about wanting to meet 'boys' or 'girls' tho. just a terminological issue i suppose, but it does imply youth and a big gap. maybe it will become more common for 'our generation'? i use both 'women' and 'girls' in equal measure (as TERMS, you wiseass) but the latter always with a hint of the Father Jacks i must confess

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

'Boys' and 'girls' makes an implication about behaviour rather than age, I reckon. My grandmother used to talk about "flirting with boys" but said boys were sexagenararian at least.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

'Boys' and 'girls' makes an implication about behaviour rather than age, I reckon.

i can go along with that.

i feel a bit creepy talking about 'men' i like. i suspect that i consider my dad to be a man, and other men therefore must be at least the same age/act like my dad. which i'm not interested in dating.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

not even if they look like HL?

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

George Clooney must be a man, and many girls (note usage) of my age want him (git)!

― Simon (flameproof) (Flameproof), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i am only 19, i think i can still call them boys. but what about when you're 55 and you have a boyfriend? should you call him a "manfriend"? that sounds creepy.

i didn't think this thread would be taken so seriously!

― caitlin hell (caitxa), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

When my gran was in her 70s, she still talked about her friends from the bingo hall having "boyfriends". However, women seeing people were "ladyfriends".

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

HL?

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

you know, that guy who is accompanied by tidings of unspecified nature and speaks of the power of love as a curious thing

― Senor Embargo (blueski), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

ah. true. but he's the exception that proves the rule.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

My grandma once asked me if I had any "dancing partners" yet (meaning boyfriends, I assume). I don't know whether she was being old or just strange, but it was sweet.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)
