And another thing, what's up with women? I hang around libraries and internet cafes, and none of them will talk to me. I'm starting to think, you know, that maybe there's something wrong with me? Am I right? Guys, back me up here ... Am I right?"

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Perhaps, and this is just a thought, no one likes you.
oh.... and theres more
I get the impresion, and again this is just a thought, that no one likes you here either

You love it really Steely, you dirty little bitch. Admit it, you try to stay away but the craving just gets too strong. "It's been quite a while since anyone moderated me", you think to yourself. "A really fast, hard moderation would do me a world of good right now. The churning in my stomach as I hit the Register link, the sweat on my brow as I make my first post, the iron-hard erection that arrives the instant someone recognises who I am. Then I go to post again and SPLURGE! That hot, liquid feel in my three-day old pants as the error message appears. The pleasure slowly ebbs away leaving me with only the hard gaze of a suspicious EasyEverything employee for company. That most erotic of phrases One of the moderators here has banned your account due to your violation of the Terms and Conditions burned into my mind as I stumble stickily through the door. What now? What to do after such a transcendant experience? My eyes alight on a nearby library and a thin smile comes unbidden to my lips...

is very simple. handbag be a company, see? yes. a company. actually a joint venture between two fairly large companies who value their reputation, such as it is.
posters who have previously espoused the sort of vows you have are likely to be booted because their admin is having nightmares about banner tabloid headlines screaming about evil internet types and and the things they perpetrate should anything happen to any of the hb chicks at a meat.
thing is, you've made it so that you'll automatically be a suspect whether you were involved or not.
added to which, they can't take the chance that you're not real.
which we know. but there ya go.
and yes, I've stopped using capital letters, its too much effort. and for those that once again wail that steely must be real i refer you once more to his post concering his trollism and the northern working men's club. which for me was as close to a confession as you're likely to get.
and the karaoke meat thread. what more do you people need??

Heavens Ben. I'm not suggesting he doesn't physically exist - I have indeed met the man in question in the flesh at a meat.
Have you not been following my ubertroll theory.
And there's another, more interesting one. Which for now I'm keeping to myself.
Just because he's pitched up to a meat doesn't mean that the person he posts as exists anywhere other than his head. I've already been through this people. None of his posting, especially of the last 8 months or so, adds up.
So mock me if you will, but as I said, what more do you people need? I simply refuse to believe that Steely really is a homeless Big Issue salesman who fancies organising a karaoke meat. None of it adds up people. None of it. I refuse to be sucked in again. He's toying with y'all....

Bandy is famed as phoo-artist extraordinaire, but few know about his genetic manipulation skills. Bandy created The Benway Project in a lab. Before the public launch of the physical being, he tested the unfinished mind by wiring it to a computer and giving it a TMO username. That name was Benway.
It lives.

Don't confuse "they hate you" with "you frighten them"... it would appear there's a significant dose of the latter involved.
They probably interpreted your shyness as something more threatening, given that your sole aim of going to handbag meats appears to be to "get a woman" rather than to meet new friends and have a laugh.

When one of them mentioned a website I pretended to know nothing about computer and asked if it was computer users club or something. That way I thought I would get to talk to the women without having to admit I was actually there for a singles gathering as I was just far too embarresed and shy to do so. It didn't work though as I ended up getting told to leave the cordoned area by someone who said it was a private event!

A good way to make friends is to get a hobby and not to go out of your way to look for women. Worked for me - I met Mrs Stefanos though my obsession with the R***n thang (and I got into that through an interest in history and stunt fighting) because she was interested in it as well....

Knowing what Harlee's hobbies are - namely, trailing at demos with wandering eyes and skulking in the dark corners of public libraries, I very much doubt that this is a decent course of action.
I've found that talking about wine and cheese combinations while doing nighttime shopping also works, but I don't suppose Harlee knows much about this.

This sounds like a horrendous scene in a chic sitcom/ full length rom-com as scripted by someone who always worked out witty and sophisticated rapports with women but never actually got to pur them into practice. I could just imagine the kooky humour and astonishingly inept attempts at looking metropolitan and cultured right now. *shudder*

I would have thought the same before it happened, ackcherlee. I was at the time looking for cheese, not a woman. She just happened to ask what wine went with the cheese she happened to be buying, which I suggested was a bit bizarre as it was 3am and she couldn't buy alcohol anyway.
In short, I was looking for Emmenthal and found Emily.
She was highly-strung and peeled labels off shampoo bottles with a maniacal precision, though. Which was not good.

The difference here being that your mate's handicap's are physical while Steely's are mental and therefore social. I should add that I don't mean this as an excuse for rape, just to point out why Steely can't do this "simple" thing when someone like your mate can.

Do you like apples?

I nearly pulled on a night out a couple of years ago when I got a snog of a woman in a club in Covent Garden, but I think she was a bit drunk though.
And probably lacking a sense of both sight and smell.

Slightly harsh, don't you think Mr Brad Pitt?
And Harley, a snog counts as a "pull".

What is this, the unoffiical "be kind to Harley" week? Never in a million years would I consider a drunken snog as a "pull". What do others think? Time for a new thread?
It's not "be kind to Harley week", as far as I'm aware, but attacks on personal appearance are dull, pointless and childish and more befitting to the Handbaggers that come over here just to insult.

It's not really an attack on personal appearance per se, although the sense of sight and smell jibe clearly alludes to this. It is more an attack on on Harley's continued bleating on his inability to "pull" (however one defines this concept), and the underhand tactics he uses in trying to achieve this.
True, Harley's looks - as he himself admits - wouldn't exactly win him the face of the year award. However, this isn;t really the issue. I find his "pulling by stealth" approach - for this is what it is - somewhat disconcerting. Anyone woman who reacts positively to this sort of neaderthal approach - to anyone - has to be either severely intoxicated, blind or deaf. Or bloody stupid.
One wonders how Harley achieved his "feat". Maybe the man can answer this question himself.

Both true. In my ultra-scientific sample of one it seems that 'to make out' was what was done 1988-1993 or so, while 'to hook up' is more recent, say, mid-90s to now. I think "making out" is still in use, though.

Most interesting. But you ignored my question.

quote:No it is not the same as pulling. I have had a couple of snogs of women over the years but not managed to take them home with me. To pull means to start a relationship with them and keep on seeing them. Not an odd drunken snog at a party or in a pub!

I believe snog does = "pull" in the argot of today's young women.

What "technique" did you employ, Harley? Did you actually ask the girl or did you simply "wade on in there". I am truly intrigued.

...but not managed to take them home with me.
Thank God for that.

Harley, sweetie, if I hadn't met you I wouldn't believe you could be real! 
You've reminded me why I don't use dating sites, though.
Thanks for that [shudder].
Why don't you post an ad in here
Or, since you're banned, we can all help write one for you & post it under a pseudonym

Is indeed. They used it in the film Cruel intentions.

I have an even better idea though how about holding a joint TMO and Handbag.com meet up?

Janvaks can discuss -er, skincare & lipstick with all the fairy gurlz; Physic can get his back fixed by one of the many physios/nurses/alternative therapists; VP can terrify the 'baggers by being brainy andbeautiful without makeup; everyone else can discuss films music (maybe not music) and the validity of modern TV with a fresh viewpoint, while we few double agents hide in a corner, drinking heavily.
Oh, and you'll be restrained by the policewomen.
I imagine you quite like the idea?

By the way Grace why dont you suggest a joint handbag/TMO meet up on handbag and see if the other posters on there like the idea?
Besides which, anyone who posts on both is free to go to either. People who don't obviously have a reason not to. It's the worst concept in the history of stuff, and all that would happen is that there would be two meets in the same place. Pointless.

Please feel free to continue to speculate on why the Handbaggers hate Steely in a new thread..
