This forum is dying

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

love ya C'Girl...but I am the A list...you guys are all on the B list. :p

And the avatars are just because he's so high maintenance!:D
Puh-lease. Gimme a break already. Independent over sorority girl????? Ha! (that's totally a joke btw, but you DID call me B list so I figure I'm warranted in bringing out the claws :D ).

Well...I don't equate dominant with independent. Independent is good...dominant is scary. The best is when neither person feels like they have to be dominant. Of course I say this carrying a whip...:D

[because my avatar du jour is Catwoman...for future reference]Good point. Neither do I actually. Independent was more along the lines of where I was going. You should know, little miss Independent (:p) (sung to Kelly Clarkson tune btw). And, Crankyfeet actually brought my point home anyway. They think they want an independent woman, but it actually takes a rather strong man, with a lot of confidence in himself to be able to handle having a truly independent woman of equal or greater intelligence than himself. ;)

We gotta feisty filly here fellas.

Did I say that? I didn't realize. Is your other third looking over your shoulder as you post? I hope he's strong enough to measure up. If you're reading this, Mr. C'Girl, just stay calm, help is on its way.:p

Sounds like your pool of potentials was limited to geniuses and really strong bright guys. It would be interesting seeing you girls sparring in argument together after a few drinks.

Oh and here's another two cent Crankyfeet secret to a happy relationship. Learn to let the other person have the last word. Without feeling like you've lost the argument/point. I've found that's a lot easier to say than do.

It must be hard being really smart as a girl and having to put up with most of the chauvinistic men and boys who are too insecure to consider being in a relationship with you. "It takes a strong man to be with a smarter girl" - is that why jocks are typically strong, and nerds are typically weak - its evolution?

Hahahahahahahahahaha . . . .

It's so easy sometimes.

You're not suddenly taking the tongue in cheek a bit too seriously, are you?

As for me and NNS sparring? I don't see it happening since we're BFF according to you. But, it was fun seeing your reaction to a tongue in cheek spat between us, lol!

And, btw, who ever said I was talking about me in the first place? I was simply repeating what you already said. Regarding Mr. C'dale, trust me when I say you needn't worry about him. He's more than capable of holding his own. ;) :D

Regarding Mr. C'dale.....He's more than capable of holding his own. ;) :DIsn't that a bit personal? If you were my wife, I wouldn't want you describing what I do in private to a public forum like this.:D

In any case. We know that he can handle himself on his own. Here's another man secret: All men do. ;)

I was just concerned he might have been gagged and tied up or something, seeing as you are so independent (read: dominant ).:p

IMHO - Independence is a good trait, unless it becomes an obsession. That may be the sign of insecurity and lack of trust. Using a cycling analogy - Its usually better to tuck in behind and share the wind than for both to be out fighting it.

That's 4 cents now.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

ROFLMAO, tears rolling.

Oh, there are SO many responses, but I shall keep them to myself at this point.

Friggin' hysterical.

Little Miss Independent...that's me. ;)

So far Cranky's been handling my superior intelligence fairly well, I'd say. :p

A little Dave Barry calendar humor:

Have you ever tried to wrap leftover food in clear plastic wrap? Have you ever tried to tear off a piece of that wrap using the so-called "cutting edge"? If so, do you get a nice square piece, like the one that the cheerful homemaker always gets in the commercial? Don't make me laugh. What you get is a golf-ball-sized wad that looks like a dead jellyfish. THE "CUTTING EDGE" CUTS NOTHING! Fact: for every leftover food item that American consumers are able to wrap, they waste more than thirty-seven square miles of plastic -- enough to cover all of Manhattan Island, or the late Orson Welles.

Little window into NNS's world...:rolleyes:

buenos noches, muchachos...

buenos noches, muchachos...You come in here all cheery and pretty-avatared, make a couple of posts, and then you're outa here with your latin good nights. What's up nns? You can't be going to bed before ten? The night is young. And so are we. We are children of the night. Restless souls.

:o

Little Miss Independent...that's me. ;)

So far Cranky's been handling my superior intelligence fairly well, I'd say. :pOh dear...this is a guy's worst nightmare....a gal who THINKS she's smarter than you...with a "Little Miss Independent" attitude thrown into the mix.

I am going back over the FID thread history now trying to piece together where it all went wrong. Did I say something to give you that impression? :confused:

C'Girl - I don't think you're entirely blameless here in this transformation of nns. She used to be an innocent, nice, attractively-avatared lady, willing to play sidekick, and generally motivated to please her forum friend(s) with flirtatious repartee and frivolous humor, before you entered the fray.

Restless souls...that crash after dinner at a Mexican restaurant...with Mexican beer...:p But it was only a nap. ;)

That's not a woman. That's a man, baby!

Poor Cranky...our FID thread has tipped the normal forum gender balance of like 500 guys to 1 girl...to you and sometimes Bro to 4 of us girls. See how dangerous it is when we get together?! It's like...when we got the vote. :p

She/he's wearing a toupe by the looks of it.:confused:

Well I think Bro maybe does....because we haven't seen much of him lately. Bro...I need some male-bonding in here as well. We all, as founding FID posters, have a responsibility to inflate this flatulent thread.

But Brother...its great to see you back in here after a hard, serious night's labor keeping our GT threads full of profound and intelligent commentary on the state of cycling.

I'm not being sarcastic here.

Bro...I'm still laughing from the "Bro Signal" image you dug up.:p

Looks like Bro's made his FID post for the week. :p Lucky I was here to see it live.:D

Looks like I came in right at the same moment...he's still worried about it being a chick thread now. :rolleyes: But the Bro Signal was priceless...
