I like how Jackstar, in addition to being extremely patronizing, simply isn’t capable of reconciling Ned’s requirement of deeper companionship with Jackstar’s own creepy bias that Ned, as a homosexual, has an insatiable and undeniable urge to chug cock with his rectum at all times.
I know this is confusing you, Jackstar, but only petulant man-children and teenage boys tell a prospective partner whose friendship they deeply enjoy to take a hike because that partner doesn’t want to take the friendship to a sexual level. Chemistry (or lack there of) is an inexplicable thing, and adults quickly learn that, while disappointing, being turned down romantically by someone you like isn’t an insult, but rather just proof that it never could have worked out between the two of you to begin with. Hanging out with people who enrich your mind and your life isn’t a bust just because you can’t plunge their jellyholes.
On a personal note, Ned, I hope you get back on the horse again soon. Not only have I loved your updates, but you sincerely seem like a guy who deserves what he’s looking for. Keep meeting people and putting yourself out there and it’ll happen for you.
Hey DrCrypt, what happened to Wash?

He died. Is this really the best you can do? Witlessly reference a minor, half-a-decade old controversy that I regret – I was clearly out of line – but which everyone else has moved on from? What a clown.
What the hell happened to you, jafd? You changed your nick and went from being an unremarkable poster to the most insufferable idiot on the forums over night. Did you get hit in the head or something?
Well, chief, the best you can evidently do, so far, is to relentlessly misinterpret everything I’ve posted into some twisted parody that exists far more solidly in your own mind than reality, so, yeah, calling you on Wash is pretty much all the effort you’re evidently worth putting into at this point.
And as for what happened to me, perhaps the next time, you can start your inquiry by prefacing it with something like, “Hi, how are you?” And immediately after that, you can just go fuck yourself.

Shadarr figures a change in meds is the source of this (since we can’t get a confirm or deny out of jafd on this). Could be. My theory is that he’s gotten himself banned from whatever forum he was previously trolling and has now turned his attention here. At any rate, he’s easy to wind up so it’s entertainment at least.
Oh, how I wish you were even remotely accurate. I’m openly weeping over here.

Well, jafd/Jackstar pretty much just admitted in the post before yours that something had happened to him to cause his behavior to change, so that medication theory may well be right. Or, given his input in this thread, maybe he’s getting over a recently ended relationship. Given the hopelessly mutant advice he’s given Ned in this thread on how to conduct himself romantically, I’m leaning to the latter.
How many pictures is that for me in this thread? I’m losing count.
Normal people would take the hint.

I know. At least he knew I had zero interest in it. Internet dating has taught me that I need to be more judgmental. There are now rules:
[ol]
[li]Avoid Facebook.[/li][li]No LARPers.[/li][li]Nobody with porny images showing up on his screensaver.[/li][li]Nobody with a bong just hangin’ out in their living room.[/li][li]Nobody with collectible toys and stuff in their living room.[/li][li]Nobody named Brad.[/li][/ol]
3-6 could probably be encompassed by ‘nobody who can’t at least pretend to be a grown-up’.
1-4, you mean. Possibly 6, as no mature adult is named “Brad”.

Good point.
(Brad is just a stand-in name for a more regular name. I just had the misfortune of dating two crappy guys with the same first name and am now biased against them. They’re Brads instead to protect their anonymity. Such that it is. Bad idea?)
Oh great, now look what you’ve done.

I was going to say ‘well, at least Batman can pretend to be a grown-up’, but Bruce Wayne isn’t really known for being a grown-up in most variations of Batman, is he? He’s usually pretending to be a playboy. I’m going to be a little sad if I can’t date Batman.
Eh, 1-3 are more of the "Grow up, Man-child! variety, though I guess if someone just had a bong sitting on their coffee table it could be a bit disconcerting as well.
However, do not hate on toy collectors. Some of them appreciate them for their sentimental value, as well as their worth in money later on in their lives (Though most of us do just enjoy playing with toys).

I’ve got a Lego Millennium Falcon in my living room. The giant one. Any woman who judges me for that can go jump into traffic - that thing is fucking sweet!

I realize that the (non)relationship was doomed for lots of other reasons, like electronica in the woods and having the wrong name, but Holy stereotypical girl drama, Batman. You really got into that much of a tizzy over Facebook? I guess it’s good because otherwise you wouldn’t’ve figured out the relationship was doomed, but still. That story had a very grade-8-homeroom-gossip vibe for me.
It’s too bad he didn’t register on qt3 under a different name, and then change back to jafd when he reverted to old jafd behavior. That would’ve been more poetic.
I can understand someone being uncomfortable with a relationship being touted on FB. I think relationships are private things and don’t belong on FB. That said, being together five months and spending weekends together is clearly a relationship.
