Buh-bye girlfriend. Hello, more $$$$!

So I ended the semi-long relationship with this girl.

And today, I'm having one of the better days this year trading.

Last two weeks have sucked a little because I kept arguing with her over every little thing, and I was obviously distracted.

But now that I ended everything, I'm calm and peaceful.

She was fully supportive with my trading, but at the end, her manipulative tendencies got to me.

She was so good at picking the right time to ask for things. Some women can sniff a vulnerable behaviors from a mile away, and they immediately get to work! After a while, I could guess every one of her moves, so I kept pissing her off, and she did her best to do the same.

Relationship, if not in a right one, can really affect the way you trade sometimes.

Posted by brocklanders on 03-04-08 05:33 PM:

Absolutely true. Congrats and good luck.

Posted by MandelbrotSet on 03-04-08 05:35 PM:

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing in my relationships.

But it is nice to have a supportive partner, and you can't really talk about your trading with other men ... because they will immediately start thinking about how you can make them money.

Just something to keep in mind.

For the most part, unless it's someone you've known for a while, you really need to play the trading down.

Yup, she was very supportive of my trading and for a good reason.

She needed me to keep buying her things and take her to places.

With additional trading income and reduced expenses, I should be able to save a lot more money now.

Well, if it was one of those sick relationships then good for you and hope that you can find the one.

Posted by ChkitOut on 04-13-08 11:48 PM:

Are you sure YOU ended the relationship.

99% of the time she ends it. Why? Because men don't throw away easy P$$$Y.

But I've digressed.

Just wait 'till that baby batter over flows your brain, you'll be goofing up in no time:

this is an interesting topic as well.

i was planning to do some research on this. maybe there are statistics to be found somewhere.

does anyone know if the above is true or not? it seems to me as well that most of the times it´s the female who breaks up and the man being the one remaining disgruntled.

i not too long ago ended something like this, but in fact it was her..

ps. and i reference to the OP, i didn´t feel more calm at all afterwards.. actually having p&ssy at your disposal is a calming feeling to me.

I had a similiar thing with my ex- girlfriend. At first everything was okay good sex, good times etc. I always had money so she of course was always happy. then it became "I called in sick today, how about we go downtown (Chicago) and do something?"

I'd be like..I'm trading so maybe later well do something. then it became "you're always so busy blah blah blah.

Then she wanted to move in. I said no way and by the way, don't bother me anymore.

So many bitches in the world why do they all think they're gonna change you???

Got a new bitch now. She's English and been here bout 4 years.
Man what a diff the European broads are! Maybe I got lucky, but this one never bothers me, fucks at the drop of a hat, and is always so apprecaitive of everything. I've known her more than a year which is twice as long as the last bitch and so far she's a keeper....we'll see.

Point is, don't settle for shit naggy bitches. Stand your ground and do your thing. the right broad is out there.

All you have to do is get on one of those planes at JFK to Columbia. Head to Medellin and grab yourself an apartment for 50 bones a night. There is a pimp named Tony on the beach who will get you all the ass you want. Stay there for a good two weeks having fun and dont forget to bring some Trojans.

Yeeehaaa. I bet your forget that GF real soon and no more distractions.... Tell em Jack stone sent ya.

Very good observation.

As an aside, your reference reminds me of an episode of Family Guy where one of the characters went to a a ladies' clothing store called Britches and Hose.

To the OP..glad to hear you dumped the baggage.

o10maximus is right on. I would carry it further and say nobody but you and your spouse/partner should know what you do. I have refused offers of funds from the same friends over and over again. I know the moment I accept them for a managed account the friendship ends and the headaches begin.

I like that!

I was reading an online story today about teenagers who send nude pictures of themselves to others over their cell phones... and think there's nothing wrong with it. A very common practice, so the story says.

I was definitely born too soon...

Tell me about it! Heck, even in our days of the "Sexual Revolution" I always seemed to go on dates with women who were conscientious objectors.

Posted by bighog on 04-15-08 12:25 AM:

Nothing beats a great Lady when you two can have a great relationship.

Now in defense of the females, many guys are no prince charming to be around either. Who wants to spend a weekend with a beer drinking, smoking cheap cigs, eating potato chips by the bagfull drenched in Tabasco sause slob cutting farts all weekend watching a bunch of cartoon dressed up rednecks driving around in circles in grocery getter beater cars.

If any guy can not handle a good women i suggest getting a dog. Go away for for a couple days and upon return the mutt will jump and down, lick you maul you all obver because so happy to see you. For you losers that can not appreciate a great Lady (yes many are bimbos, agree on that) might not want to push your luck, get a male dog. .

Posted by toc on 04-15-08 03:08 PM:

'i suggest getting a dog'

dogs also keep good company even with a gal. times can go rough and gals might not be in even talking mood so dogs are buddies for all the times. but to be fair to the animal make sure he/she has atleast 2 outside walks a day and even daily company of other 'comrade k9s' to shoot some crap with.

Posted by gymratnyc on 04-16-08 03:20 AM:

Sounds like Wall Street, If you need need a friend pal, then get a dog!

Especially funny from that site:

30 things you'll never hear a woman say.
1. You know, I've been complaining a lot lately. I don't blame you for ignoring me.
2. The new girl in my office is a real beauty, and a stripper too, I invited her over for dinner on Friday.
3. While you were in the bathroom, they went for it on fourth down and missed. If they can hold them to a field goal they'll still cover.
4. Bar food again! Kick ass.
5. I liked that wedding even more than ours. Your ex-girlfriend has class.
6. That girl is wearing the same outfit as I am. Cool, I'm gonna go over and talk to her.
7. Let's just leave the toilet seat "up" at all times, then you don't have to mess with it anymore.
8. I've decided to buy myself a boob job. How big do you want'em?
9. It's only the third quarter, you should order a couple more pitchers.
10. Honey, come here! Watch me do a Tequila Shot off of Stephanie's bare ass.
11. My mother is going to take care of the tab, so order another round for you and your friends.
12. I'm so happy with my new hairstyle, I don't think I'll ever change it again.
13. Damn! I love when my pillow smells like your cigars and beer.
14. You are so much smarter than my father.
15. If we're not going to have sex, then you have to let me watch football.
16. Are you sure you've had enough to drink?
17. I've decided to stop wearing clothes around the house.
18. You're so sexy when you're hung over.
19. I'd rather watch football and drink beer with you than go shopping.
20. Let's subscribe to Hustler.
21. I'll be out painting the house.
22. I love it when you ride your Harley, I just wish you had more time to ride.
23. Honey, our new neighbor's daughter is sunbathing again, come see!
24. No, No, I'll take the car to have the oil changed.
25. Your mother is way better than mine.
26. Do me a favor, forget the stupid Valentine's Day thing and buy yourself something.
27. Listen, I make enough money for the both of us, why don't you retire.
28. You need your sleep ya big silly, now stop getting up for the night feedings.
29. Look! My ass is fatter than yours!
30. Let's get rid of my friends and keep all of yours.

You have to make friends with the right traders. I know plenty of guys I can talk all about my trading with, who will be supportive and honest and not exploitive. Men who aren't traders, no, you can't talk about trading with. Traders who are true friends, well, that might just be close to a prerequisite for trading success.
