Mr. Dictator is in a hole...throw him a rope.

[The Yankee]

It is a branding problem. Either that or demand is elastic and this girl is using a substitute until her preferred product is available.

Of course, it might just be boredom...if neither one of them seems to know what's going on.

Mr. Dictator, i don't know why she's pissed either.

maybe she's like a klingon.
like how in the end of season 2 of star trek TNG after worf and k'ehleyr did it, worf wanted to do the oathes to seal the deal, but k'ehleyr wasn't sure if she wanted to and went away making worf sad and angry.
maybe you're k'ehleyr and the girl you screwed is worf.
i think she wants to date you, but is second guessing herself and she doesn't wanna have a just sex relationship with you because she likes you. girls are weird.

 

[The Yankee]

This is a very strange thread. Besides, if we were going to continue the market questions, I think it'd be better to see how the Ferengi deal with such things (okay, maybe not, since I remember them repressing the women......wow, I'm nerdish).

I think we'd probably be better with more details (no not on the back seat romp) about the whole thing. Then we can see who's been acting weirdly!

 

[b etor]

klingons > ferengi

 

[Kozmos]

Too much Star Trek analogies.

 

[Dezzilisk]

hahaha should have kicked her out the car and burned off

I personally wouldnt give a crap

Come on, I liked the market comparison! It fit right in with Godwynn's zinger.

Let the market decide

Dictator should find a way to kick the demand curve in his favor. But I suppose that's what happens when you flood the market on the supply side.

Bad idea. By increasing the supply, you will increase demand, but you'll also decrease the price. What Mr. Dictator needs to do is either increase the number of customers, or increase the demand per customer, or both. In slightly more common terms, if he wants to keep the price (Or in this case, sexual satisfaction) at current levels or higher, he needs to either attract more chicks or make the girls he already has "buying" want more. Simply put, supplying more is only to Mr. Dictators advantage if he is willing to accept a certain drop in "price" and therefore profit, or he can increase the desirability of his "product".

Integral comes out of hiding to APPROVE of these analogies.

Yeah, but isn't Star Trek commonly cited as the example of a perfect communist economy? The plot thickens.

 

[b etor]

no...?

 

[drachasor]

no...?

No money, no paychecks. People don't work under the profit motive in Star Trek.

 

[skadistic]

That only applies to Federation Employees right? The Feragee deal in gold plated bars of stuff and there is plenty of gambling.

It's a bit unclear if it only applies to Federation employees, anything that's part of Earth, or the entire Federation of Planets. It certainly doesn't apply to groups outside of the Federation, however.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Maybe screwing girls in the backseat of your car isn't such a bright idea after all? Especially if you aren't even in a relationship?

Anyway, do you actually want to go out with her? If not, why do you care? You used her for sex, and if you don't want to go out with her, what further use do you have? If you do want to try to have a serious relationship - well, maybe you shouldn't have slept with her before you figured that out. If the latter is the case, maybe you should apologize for trying to get her to have sex with you when you both weren't clear on exactly what kind of relationship you two were in.

Oh, and she's only partly mad at you - I'd say she's probably just as irritated with herself, and with her uncertainty as to what is really going on, as she is with you.

i want to date her. that's the thing.

i think she took it all as "i don't want to date you" and just got so mad she couldnt listen to me the rest of the time properly.

few days from now i'll sit her down and discuss it all.

That whole thing was pretty good. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I found it fun too.

Sounds like a good idea. And in the future, maybe you should make it a point to try and do more talking before you start doing it.

if by "future" you mean when i'm no longer a horny teenage/early 20s guy, sure

 

[JohnRM]

If you want to be with her, tell her that.

If you don't want to be with her, tell her that.

Just tell her how you feel. Cliche, but true.

I'm happy we actually made it apply to the situation!

And we haven't even TOUCHED what may happen if the Fed lowers rates so that people like Mr. Dictator could have a break on their ARMs (Adjustable Romantic Moments) so that they could have them in better settings with better results.

 

[The Yankee]

If you want to be with her, tell her that.

If you don't want to be with her, tell her that.

Just tell her how you feel. Cliche, but true.

That'd be my advice. Seems like a horrible miscommunication.

 

[frob2900]

yes, i'm aware of all this. like i said, i'm gonna have to take her out on a date and just talk to her.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But I'd say do it just for fun.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a longer-term relationship between you guys won't work, since there seems to be communication problems going on. If you've had this much trouble working out if you want to date, then all those "relationship issues" (that inevitably crop up) might also balloon into disasters.

But then again I could be completely wrong.
