1) Too young and hot for me. Ideally just out of college so I don't feel like I am messing up her life, though a college degree is not necessary. In fact, I really don't care. Women my age are way more mature than me. I am about as mature as a typical 18 yr old tbh.

2) A great personal assistant/manager. She arranges all of my poker trips to the last detail and understands that I am a lazy, disorganized ass clown but doesn't mind.

3) Doesn't mind putting her life on hold to travel with me. I would go wherever she wants though, as long as I have a good internet connection.

4) Is actually into me, not just along for the free ride. Though the free ride is obv a perk, and I am fine with that.

5) Doesn't mind doing 90% of the cooking, shopping, leg work so that I can maximize my poker playing time.

6) Likable with good social skills, so that we will actually have friends and meet people as we travel and to compensate for my shortcomings in this department.

7) Intelligent with a good sense of humor.

8) Trustworthy with no criminal tendencies.

Any woman who meets this criteria would not have to work, would get to travel wherever she wants with me, can do almost whatever she wants when I am busy, and would get to buy whatever she wants within reason. I would treat her awesomely.



Hookers and strippers fail to meet this criteria, at least 99% of them do. Most are idiots or untrustworthy, for example.

I want to make this happen. Where do I start?
Sorry, my wife's taken. Seriously, one piece of advice I can give you is do not under any circumstances mention or show how much money you make to a new girl you meet. If you guys are still getting along great after three or six months or whatever, then you'll know she's into you and not your money.

And LOL at the previous post asking me to make a wall of drunken text. I get drunk about once a year on average, usually New Years. I do a fair amount of recreational drugs (pain killers) when I'm not playing poker but those make me feel good so it'd never be the type of post you're hoping for.

Scandinavian languages are closely enough related that Norweigans, Swedes and Danes are able to understand eachother.

haha nice! Im guessing this is one of the guys who were interviewed for a documentary on Breivik (think he was previously a step father for him). He was portrayed as one of Breiviks role models, although with some "personality flaws" when it came to moral standards.
I remember he came across as a pretty nice and cool guy.

These languages are very close FYI. Although danish sound a little funny to us and they are sometimes hard to understand.

btw, we also start to learn a third language in school some years after we start with english. It used to be either french or german but I think kids have more choices these days.
It is imo kind of a joke tho and I bet 90%+ never get good enough at this third language to ever bother using it much.
English will get u far enough these days anyway.

I wouldn't call learning a third language kind of a joke. What are we? Americans?

nono, i meant the way they do it here in the schools is a joke, cause they introduce the third language in a half ass way such that u never really learn more than the very basics.

Knowing 3+ languages is definitely awesome for those who have the dedication to do it

My favorite rule in poker is English only at the table. If you're not proud of your ignorance you can alway become a democrat.

Reaction of the forum - "RIGGED!"

But since I had been doing the digests for the forum for a year, I also got it as a "Thank you". I don't ever want it changed!

Re: girl

I don't think you can have all that you wanted and her being intelligent at the same time, at least not in the US (as others have said).

Dating sites really seem to be a good way to go, just remember that people's motivations may be vastly different (serial dater, I just want sex, but it's not kosher to write that all over the internet to I'm looking for somebody to get married NOW). When searching, really look for people posting their vices, at least they're honest and fun!
Ah, cool, that is pretty hax.

Ya, it seems like most profiles are pretty fos. It's like "I am the world's nicest, coolest person with lots of friends and am super upbeat and educated look at me!" I think it would be funny to make a really negative profile, though doubt that would work very well.

A guy I knew had a high school daughter that spent 3 to 4 hours per day just on her appearance.) Then, being a small town I would often see what became of these hot chicks after graduation.

The ones that are still around and single by the time they hit 20 or 21 didn't go to college because they didn't have the money or the smarts or the ambition, usually are working at Walmart or fast food joints, and are looking to get out of that small town but don't have any options. This may sound stupid, but you can make a big impression on these girls rolling into town in a flashy new car like a high-end Mustang or Viper.

Of course, this would take some work on Elo's part.
Interesting angle! Had not thought of preying on bored small town girls.

Even if you find that perfect girl your looking for its hard to keep her around only with money. A girl like that has alot of choices so you have to offer something else then that to make her stay.

I have met alot of girls that have sugar daddys who take them for travel and nice places and support them financially but as soon as hes gone theyll call me and want to spend time with me.

And vice versa when I had alot of money and didnt know much about girls and spend a ton of money of them it didnt work out too well.


Money alone and travelling isnt enough for most woman. There is alot more to know how to keep them around.

The best thing would be to start dating and approaching a ton of woman and learning along the way. That way you can learn what kind of woman you really want ( one that exist in real life and not the one you made up ) and again when you are skilled with woman theyre much likely to stick around even if you dont pay them.

At last you dont really want to enter a relationship of dependence where you depend on her and vice versa. That makes moving on just that much harder and might get you stuck for a loooong time in a bad situation.

And in the end when you really meet that woman and you really like each other then you can still decide to support her.

If youre just looking to be less lonely for a while you have to try thailand. Youll have tons of nice girls available wholl do all kinds of chores for you and dont need a lot of money.If you get fed up with one youll find a new one. On top of that youll life in a tropical country with lots of nice things to do. Just do it for 6 months.
Really good points, thanks! Tbh I never learned to date much... have mostly met gfs through friends or work when I was a lot younger. It's intimidating ldo, but ya... I honestly just need to gain experience.

Thailand sounds really scary to me. I think going back to school might be a more reasonable way for me to meet lots of people.

If it really is, then definitely not true imo. I would guess probably below avg on the racist-meter for western countries.
Pretty sure a decent number of people in the US perceive Norway as having racism issues, though it is prolly for really stupid reasons, which is why I asked. I don't think it is because of Breivik though... hopefully most people realize he is a random psycho.

I personally have a lot of interest in visiting Norway, it looks like it is absolutely beautiful and the music is amazing.

Damn, one more reason to be jealous of you!

My income is lol unless I decide to get back onto Stars again, hehe. But good advice on avoiding gold diggers.

I just thought such a post would be funny because it would run so contrary to your usual forum image, lol.

He just remembers you're asian. Thus, saying either Vancouver or San Jose/San Francisco was probably an extremely safe bet.
