Hey D and Z
The site is continually impressing me and the videos are great. People shy away from their realities but you two always seem to embrace it. First off Your thoughts on my strip club participation: every 6 or 8 weeks or so go and check it out on a Friday, buy a couple dances and drinks and always tip anybody who looks decent enough, the girls always remember me, primarily because I tip well its not because of my great looks or personality(i know enough to know that) Although one girl does seem to care about and has given me her number back in the summer I called a few times there were a few brief conversations then her boyfriend answered, and I got rid of that number (not worth any kind of hassle) Later in December I came across her again at the same club and she came off like she genuinely cared about me and we talked a while I would even say It was flirting but thats part of her job description.
She invited me for a private dance which went for 2 songs then she gave me her number and didnt charge for the dances. Now I am 25, and always looking to drop a load somewhere so I did call it and once again few conversationsmaybe once a every week or two now she doesnt return any phone calls, we have never met outside the club and she has never asked for money or anything of me, but she is always pleasant if I see her at the club, shes 22 by the way. I am not a rich man but live comfortable and dont really understand her motives if any. I just think she does alot of heroine or pills or something at this point. The second point of conversation is about a girl in my peer group who is about 3 months from graduating from med school and we connect on every level as human beings and she is definitely into me, the only problem is she is not the most attractive thing youd ever see can a relationship lack in physical attraction and still work or will it falter? I am normal no dependencies, children, outstanding debt whatever other material things you are judged by, I am the classical nice guy in every way. My parents raised me so normally its almost hard to get along in this world. Any help on both topics would be great I trust you guys more than most of my friends. Thanks for the time.
Faithful Reader of Postings,

Ok, you seem like a guy with a little sense in his head. If fact, I wasn't even going to answer you because you seemed to have a handle on what your club/stripper situation was. Seemed to, that was, until I got to the last part of your letter.
Thanks for the props on the video. We are working on it all the time and hope to make them better as we go. You can expect more in the next months. Eventually I will suck it up and summon the patience for stripper interviews. Lots of drugs and booze will help. Go drugs and booze!
Ok, girl gives you her number. Possibilities:
1. She is a prostitute. Always easier to get tricks when you can have ‘em call you. You said that did not happen/ was not implied so...
2. Some girls use cells just for soliciting. She may have a phone JUST for customers; she only carries it at work and uses it primarily to invite ‘money' in when she is working.
3. She wants you to be her sugar daddy. This would include many weeks or months of playing txt games or having about one million mind-numbing conversations about the trite she finds relevant or interesting while feeling out each other to suggest a meeting. How fucking lame.
4. She thought you WERE interesting at the time she gave you her number, but then lost interest. Hence the reason, that after a while, she had some guy answer and act like he was a pissed boyfriend. Any way it goes, you should consider it a missed opportunity, and probably for the best considering.....
You are kind of an idiot. To digress, you ever have a conversation with someone, and they are saying or doing something that is absurd or stupid, and you hold of from insulting them, for whatever reason, and just try to give subtle hints? So you just get quieter and quieter and kind of throw a dumb look on your face as if to say, "Dude/chick, you really need to shut up." But, of course, they don't get the hints, so they keep going and going, like the Energizer bunny, until you finally say something like, "Hey, you realize you're a fucking idiot, right?"
You probably did not deserve that, but hey, I am kind of an asshole.
So, onto your question. Let us examine:
You have a girl that digs you, in your ‘peer group' and you ‘connect' with her on every level, etc. You have a useless bag of pus, vacuous vampire on one arm, and a ‘marriable' woman on the other. You want to know if you should keep feeding the bottomless pit on the right, or suck it up and ‘settle' with the girl on the left who is "not the most attractive thing youd[sic] ever see{lack of punctuation}[sic]"
I think my point is made about the stripper. Treat them as entertainment and you will never be let down. Look for anything more and you are class-A clown.
This other girl, I am going to call her ‘Corrina', ‘cause that is a cool name and, well, I just feel like it. So Corrina is almost a college grad, in your peer group, has potential to be a partner, girlfriend, wife, mother, and hell, let's even throw in capable of having a conversation without the aid of illustrations. The ONLY drawback is that you are not physically attracted to her. We will assume, that she is 250, half bald, and although enrolled in college, missing 68% of her teeth. We will LIKEWISE assume that you are a modern-day Adonis; Sean Connery, Brad Pitt. Colin Farrel and T.I. all rolled in one. We can further pretend she has chronic vaginosis every time she gets her period, and she has it at least fifteen days a month. Therefore, when it comes time to be intimate, you rather go in a dark bathroom with a leaking shitter and masturbate to thoughts of Rosie O'Donnell doggie-style with only isopropyl for right-hand lube.
I can only answer by quoting an old French philosopher, "In life one must choose between boredom and suffering." So, make your choice, boy.
Or, of course, you COULD always look for a different girl, Adonis.
