Kaftan Barlast Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I was just thinking about this girl I know. She's approaching 30 and the last two or three times this year that we've run into eachother in the pub, she's brought it into the conversation that she wants to settle down and have kids. I dismissed it as casual woman-talk and didnt think much about it until this large cup of coffee I just had. Could this be some form of strange desperate attempt at an invite? Or is it just the biological clock making its way into the speech center in the brain? And if it's the former, how in earth could she think that such a tactic has the slightest chance of working? The average bloke, who isnt actively seeking for a male heir to inherit his crown, wouldnt respond well I imagine. You know, unless he wasnt all grown up and mature and stuff. So, gentlemen and occasional lady, what is your hypothesis regarding the situation at hand?

Pidesco Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's probably something she really wants, and she finds it safe to talk to you about it, because she isn't interested in you in any way. Her wishes call for financial stability, not a young artist type guy who works in games.

lord of flies Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Hmm, maybe you could... I don't know... ask her??? Rather than asking a bunch of nerds on the internet? A-duh. No, wait! Ask a woman about her own thoughts? I have no willpower or courage whatsoever!!! how could I do that???

Gorgon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Your information is not very useful, she could be thinking about a million things, or just saying what was on her brain. Not necessarily evaluating you for your gene potential. I'm LOF, jump in at the deep end and ask her. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Kaftan Barlast Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 First of all, asking would ruin all the fun and also severely limit the possibilities of starting threads such as this one. Second, asking such a question would score pretty high on the awkward topics scale, right up there with "are you gay for me, or just really into physically displaying friendship?" Obviously, all logic and common sense would point to the most probable conclusion of 'thing women talk about', but its more fun pretending it could be a strange reaching out. Kind of the sort of thing you could base a sitcom episode around.

Rosbjerg Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm LOF, jump in at the deep end and ask her. AHA! I smell a confession! Anywho, I don't think you are being tested, in fact if you were I don't think you would have any doubts.. women 30+ aren't generally known for their subtlety (single women that is).

Blarghagh Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's an invite. You should sneak into her bedroom a.s.a.p., light some scented candles, lie down on her bed with a thong and make a heart on your chest with whipped cream.

Pidesco Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Seeing as you seem to not care what we say, follow these steps next time you are with her in public: 1. Lick your lips seductively. 2. Jump her bones. 3. get bitch slapped and/or kicked in the 'nads. 4. Pleadingly propose to marry and give her children, through the tears of pain. 5. Bask in your success.

Walsingham Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If you think women's minds exist in straight lines you are mistaken, my friend. There is no 'train of logic' here. There's possibly some sort of maelstrom of thoughts. She's probably just thinking about these things. I know I talk about the same thing with people. it doesn't mean I'm trying to have babies. I'm just testing out loud the idea to see how it sounds. However, the fact that she's mentioned it to you means at least she is reasonably interested in what you think. She probably expects you to be supportive or against. Or she's mental, and thinking about omellettes. There's literally no way of knowing. The one thing i would be dead against is asking her to explain what she's thinking. You might just as well ask a mountain to dance. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

You might just as well ask a mountain to dance. Oh, I most assuredly shall not make any such attempts. I did make such an inquiry of a female person some time ago, whereupon she reacted in a most disagreeable manner. Seeing as you seem to not care what we say, follow these steps next time you are with her in public: No, I value your input immensly. Im just saying that in order to expand our minds, we must be prepared to look into the implausible.

Gorgon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes studies show young men coupling up with wealthy older (30 is not old) women who are the breadwinners, these younger men become something akin to 1950 housewives, including mandatory sex.

Gorgon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If you base a relationship on whether or not the other person has any money that is pretty sad.

Maria Caliban Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) I think she's making conversation about topics that interests her. Or Kaftan is obsessing. This woman might have spent hours and hours chatting with him over time, mentioned she wanted kids twice and he's thinking OMG! She wants baby Barlasts! Ok, that sounds shallow. Do you mean she doesn't have a job or any career prospects? Because that is understandable, because those women usually have a lot bigger issues as a whole. If you base a relationship on whether or not the other person has any money that is pretty sad. These days with the crisis and all you might want to work but be quite unable to land a steady job. I might be shallow then, as I’d never settle down with someone who had no job or career. Go on a date with? Sure. LTR? No. Have babies with? No farkin way.

Rostere Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Whatever she meant, I don't think her thoughts should change you opinion on the matter. If she starts a conversation with you about settling down and having kids, you should reply in a way that makes sense and you can stand for regardless of what her intentions are.
