Ok gents.... FORT TALK TIME!

[AndrewMichael]

In recent light of seeing how much girls want to post in here, I have decided to create a post in which they will have a furvent desire to post, and yet not be able to access... I call it

THE BROWNIE LIST

The following is a list of items, occurances, events that are used to gained desired Brownie Points from those of the opposite gender. Here is what I have come up with so far (even if BroTrevor is probably the only one who knows what he's talking about because he snagged one).
10 point maximum....

1 point- Card
1 point- Flowers
1 point- Candy
2 points- Card with signature
2 points- Candy or flowers with signatured "To, From" slip
3 points- Card with mushy gushy writing fluttered in it
3 points- Candy with mushy gushy card attached
5 points- Taking out to fancy dinner
5 points- Card with mushy gushy writing fluttered in it, inside a boquet of flowers
7 points- Going to her favorite resturant and paying for it without asking
7 points- Card with mushy gushy writing fluttered in it, inside a boquet of flowers, with candy, delievered to her door.
8 points- Having her friends help you design a secret meeting with clues (cards, flowers, candies- all fluttered with romance) that lead her to her favorite resturant where here favorite meal has already been ordered and she stands in shock of your immense preparation and efforts to make this one moment possible........ see why it's worth 8 points! lol

I am up for revisions, suggestions, and other ways to torment the girls that can't post in here! Let's do this gents....

Hoorah! Three cheers for AndrewMichael!!! This thread SO TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!:yay:

[HotShot53]

Hmm... to be honest, I wouldn't mind the girls comments on this topic, cause then we might not just be shooting in the dark ;) Cause to be honest, I have -0- experience in this area, and can't help much here ;)

[JMC_785]

Lol, and which of the above currently has someone they could actually apply the suggestions to? Huh? ;)

[AndrewMichael]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.....;)

[HotShot53]

Dude, don't tell me you've gone to the DARK SIDE! ....

Lol, no, I'm on my own side, the right side ;) Sometimes it happens to be the guys side, and sometimes the girls side... whichever side I think right at the time ;)

[HotShot53]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.....;)

Umm.. what was that referring to? Somehow I'm not following you...

[AndrewMichael]

Lol, and which of the above currently has someone they could actually apply the suggestions to? Huh? ;)

I was speaking on this ^

[HotShot53]

I was speaking on this ^

Lol, well, all I'll say is it isn't me ;)

[JMC_785]

Hey man, it's Hotshot. He can get away with anything.... Besides, how are you going to change the mind of someone who desperately wants to be in the ladies good graces?

[AndrewMichael]

Ok, let's get back on track here...

what does everyone think of my original list?? Too many points?? not enough??

And I want to post the BIG question.... What would be worth the whoppin' 10 total BROWNIE POINTS in one act???

[HotShot53]

Ok, let's get back on track here...

And I want to post the BIG question.... What would be worth the whoppin' 10 total BROWNIE POINTS in one act???

As I said, I don't have the faintest clue, and you all don't want to ask the people who do ;)

[Bradley]

haha...I have the WORLD'S WORST luck with this subject.....I'm a big romantic, and I did a picnic at the beach, brought my laptop and played love songs...and slow danced......Now, idunno....how many points was that worth? obviously not enough..cuz, I'm single now...haha.....But, I'd hafta just guess that each girl is different...if you get one that's not a big romantic, then the mushy gushy cards won't help....Poetry has worked for me in the past tho...it's a fun subject to talk about tho, cuz everyone has a different angle and view....I do like the list tho Andrew, and think it's prolly decently accurate...kudos man

[JMC_785]

Uh, how many points does asking the person you love more than anything in the universe (with the exception of God) to be your lifelong (not to mention eternal :D ) mate gain you?

[Jezz]

Ok first of all, I've had no experience with girls in the message. All my experience comes from having female friends in the world who I've talked about this stuff with. So I've never considered rules for dating or anything, having never done it so my suggestions might not be entirely applicable for a message believed, I dunno. But heres few thing I learnt

Flowers - You don't want to be getting the girl just any flowers, find out what flowers they like. One Valentines Day I had a girl friend of mine dreading getting red roses because it takes no thought to get red roses, she wanted flowers she actually liked, something that made her know that her boyfriend had put in effort. Of course I then went and told her boyfriend not to get her red roses and to buy her white lillies which are her favourite. Just any flowers is worth one point, flowers she will love thats worth at least three. They say its the thought that counts, so make sure you actually put some thought into it.

I think that "7 points- Card with mushy gushy writing fluttered in it, inside a boquet of flowers, with candy, delievered to her door." should only be worth 7 points if you deliver it to her door yourself and read out the card. Anyone can write something nice (well maybe not anyone), but show her that you actually mean what you said by telling her yourself. And if you show a few tears halfway through then you've got yourself another point there :-p

A Perfect 10 - I'd say the only way to get that short of offering marraige is a perfect day. That being going for a long walk together along the beach in the morning, have a picnic lunch on the sand, soak up the suns rays, give her a bouqet of her second favourite flowers. Talk for a bit. Then in the afternoon go to a park, go on some rides, have a bit of fun. After that take her to her favourite restaurant, romatic music playing, candlelit dinner, the whole works. This is when you give her a bouqet of her favourite flowers. Then go to a concert(classical/christian music of course)/movie/sports match/comedy event/something after dinner. Then maybe a moonlit walk along the beach. Then you take her home, you go home. The perfect day :) Of course all the details should vary according to the particular girl in question's tastes, likes and dislikes etc.

Jezz.. just to let you know.... YOU ARE THE MAN my friend!!! that was an awesome!!! response.... thanks for posting (especially the refinement of the 7 points one)

[BroTrevor]

Jezz...

You're living in a fantasy world my man!!

Considering the fact that you'd be able to get your girl out of bed that early to go for the sunrise walk on the beach with you, and then afford/stash 2 different flower boquets somewhere for you to give her through 2 parts of the day.....

Also assuming that your picnic lunch on the sand doesn't make yours and her teeth all gritty because sand would be blowing into the food no doubt...

Also assuming you have the money for all this..

Also assuming her dad is going to let her take a moonlit walk on the beach with you and have her out for 12+ hours of a day...

Assuming you are near a beach...

Assuming all of that....

It's waaaaaayyy too much. Too much in one day. Like I said, what a fantasy I really don't think it's reality. It's over kill.

Myself, I believe a girl would like more consistent prolonged sweetness and commitment. This one perfect day is waaaay overkill, and only some teenager who had no clue what real life is all about would give you 10 points for that. So you can romance the girl...big whoop. Can you step up to the plate and provide for her for the rest of her life. Can you be a spiritual head to her and be a good leader? I agree with whomever posted the 10 points for asking a girl to be the one you spend all of eternity with and be prepared to actually do just that.

---------------------

Maybe some people are different. I think I score more points with SisTrev by just spending time with her, being her friend. Like last night, I turned off the computer...barely read the forums, and we played Canasta. (it's a fun card game). I'm guessing I earned a few points there. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that last piece of the Mexican smore tho.

----------------------

All that being said, I think one of the best things I did while SisTrev and I were dating was I went to walmart and grabbed two little candles and two little candle holders. Then we went out for dessert at a restaurant, I set up the candles and lit them, and we shared a dessert.

Another thing that I remember is while we were "long distance" I wrote on a little piece of paper "ever felt like just wasting 32 cents" (back in the day when stamps were that cheap) and put it in an envelope and sent it to her. This of course conveyed that I was just thinking about her, and also showed my very humorous side. Not sure how many points I scored on either of those two events, but I'd say it was enough.

-------------------

Anybody ever read 5 love languages for men? I'd recommend this book I think, Gary Chapman breaks it down pretty good...not every girl goes gaga over flowers... some just want you to be there.


I think this post is long now....

Like I said... BroTrevor would be the only one who really knows anything, BUT if these above from my list are used with the right attitude, not just trying to impress a lady, but actually WANTING to make her happy, and yeah you should probably have a good idea that this is the girl God wants you to be with beforehand, then I believe the points given were pretty close.

This is all pre-marriage though, when the "puppy-love" is still running rampant, and we ought to recognize how the Brownie Points can actually deture us from what is really Love. The ten-point given by Jezz is fairly accurate, but yeah, thats definitely WAY too many assumptions.... and it would have to most definitely end with a proposal......

THERE, man made me get all serious..... and I just wanted to torture the girls, is that SO wrong!!! (I even got my first Red.... wow lol)

[BroTrevor]

I'd be surprised if you didn't get greens for it from some of the guys to make up!

Ok, so my post got a little serious... sorry...

Never mind me.. continue on...continue on!!

One more thing I do know that scores some points, is buying her her favorite kind of Chocoloate. That is almost always a good thing...

[AndrewMichael]

well.. yeah!!!
You win some, you lose some!!

Well I wasn't considering a sunrise walk, nobody gets out of bed that early especially not me. As for money, well if I was gonna plan that day I'd make sure I could afford it first. And theres plenty of grass near beaches where I live and half the time theres no wind on my favourite beach due its location so either way no problem there. As for asking the dad well like I said I've never even considered rules for dating and I've never wanted to date a message believer so like I said at the start of my post things like that aren't being considered because I have no experience whatsoever in those matters.

The post was just in good fun, whether I would ever do allll that I don't know but right now I'm happy with my life, not looking for that special someone, not looking to be a spiritual head to be a wife or looking to provide for her for life. I dunno, im just some teenager who has no clue about real life.

[JoeC]

I've never wanted to date a message believer...
You want the opportunity to clarify that line for everyone? :shuriken:

[NoahL]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that he meant since he came to the message, he hasn't had the desire to date anyone yet.

[Jezz]

Yes that what I meant Noah, thanks

[BroTrevor]

I dunno, im just some teenager who has no clue about real life.

Well... at least he's honest??

[BroTrevor]

(I was just kidding... and I know your post was all in good fun Jezz...)

[PianoMan79]

Swinging the thread back to the topic lol
In one of the choruses I sing with, we go out in small groups on Valentine's Day to deliver "singing Valentines". We present the girl with a rose and cookie, and sing her two songs (love songs, of course). Every time I have done this, the girls usually start crying before we are halfway through the first song. I'm sure this is worth some points.
As for me personally, I have no idea what I am doing. I usually try to get her flowers and/or a nice card, take her out to dinner, and maybe (if I am brave enough) flirt a little.

<chuckle> I sooo would have done the singing Valentine thing back in the day...

a rose and a cookie... I just liked that one.

[NoahL]

THERE, man made me get all serious..... and I just wanted to torture the girls, is that SO wrong!!! (I even got my first Red.... wow lol)

If by torturing the girls, you meant having them mock you and make fun of you... well hey, you're doing an EXCELLENT job...

Now THAT is 20 point post right there!

I'd highly recommend The 5 Love Languages to any guy wanting to learn to speak the girl's 'love language'. Not every girl is into the flowers and candy guys. You need to learn their language. That alone could make you or break you!

[AndrewMichael]

Girls amaze me sometimes...

Did anyone notice the vast amount of post that pretty much were directed at the Brownie List only because the girls couldn't post!! This is rather hilarious. Call me immature, I just like to have fun but NOOOO I have to get called childish by Noah, and lame by every girl in the forums....

Fine! Next time I have a funny idea, I'll keep it to myself!!! (cries to self in corner).......

[PianoMan79]

I actually thought it was a pretty clever idea.

Lol, what I noticed was that they had more posts complaining about not being able to post than they actually posted when I made it so they could... guess I shouldn't bother next time ;)

[Christian-Samurai]

should teach you a lesson. I mean why couldnt they make the post the same way you did ?? hmmm lazy!!! (more evidnce that Hotshot sides with the girls, perhaps he is trying for them brownie points this way?? heh)

Indeed....

[HotShot53]

You know my answer to this... so I'm not even going to bother saying it again ;)
