My girlfriend and I effectively ended our 41/2 year relationship. I'm thinking of ways to occupy my time and more training seems like the best idea. Just be careful about issuing long-distance SD internet challenges! I've got nothing better to do! :p

Too bad for you, man. That shlt can hurt.
Training is a placebo.
You need some fresh booty.
I understand Meat Shake's mom is available.
My condolences . . . or cheers, whichever you feel is appropriate.
My ex and I did karate together, so I didn't decline in my training then. After we broke up, though, I broke my rib at my black belt test . . . wearing her headgear!
Since I'm still gimp, can't blame my current gf for my training woes.
Keep ya head up, nephew.

Always seemed like there was a tug of war so to speak. Girlfriends want their time and your Gong Fu training demands time.
Hang in there, you probably have alot of material to practice. I`m going to train with Oso early December, I`ll stop by and pick you up, if your interested in a road trip. I`d like to see your Mantis stuff.
If you get lonely, just go walk around UT campus. The strip gets crazy.

It's the perfect time to fix all those thing that screwed up while you were involved! It sucks, man, bt you'll have more time to train, which means you'll look better, and women will smell the testosterone off of you.
Wierd thing I've observed - the less you care to met a new girl, the more of them will come after you.

"Girlfriends want their time and your Gong Fu training demands time."
Never a truer word was spoken.
My teacher told me an interesting phrase he learnt the other day:
"Women are the enemies of heroes"
"Women are the enemies of heroes"

She's noticed that I'm wierder than usual when my levels are low. :D Still, her and four kiddos have cut into the training time a bit. Like someone else said, the less you want a girl, the more of them that will hit on you. In the mean time, enjoy the freedom. Peace & Good Wishes my friend.

Scotty, in all seriousness, I think you misunderstood the phrase. In the Classics, the phrase is actually, "women are the enemies of ****s"
Of course, depending on the dialect I can see the confusion.

Hmm.. so many ways to write this...
I have to say that even if you feel bad about this now you will see that this is a possitive thing. You get to do alot of new stuff and concentrate on yourself. You don't have to think about this person all the time you can just let go and do what ever you want. Drink all day, fack some hoes or move in to a cave. It's all good

keep it clean guys :mad:
The more you fill your life and enrich it, the more concious of time you become so that you will find ways to enjoy all the things in your life.
Ending a relationship is one thing, it is reciprocity and compromise that builds relationships. It is common ground that cements them solid. Without common ground, it will inevitably fall down. Emotionally this is not a happy state of mind.
Doing Kungfu is an outlet that is pleasurable. I don't think having a girlfriend or wife has any negative effect on the actual practice once you find the way to make all the aspects of your life fit together.
If it is a compromise for you to your girlfriend that you do kungfu, then there is not common ground there. There is only a compromise that you do or do not choose to make. Or there is reciprocity on her part and she also has an extracurricular activity that you do not take time from her to do. Also reciprocal on your part. If you stop practicing out of some sense that she requires more of your time, then again, you have compromised which means one of two things.
1. you are not interested in really doing kungfu
2. you give more importance to your gf than your kf
#1 is something you have to consider anyway in any discipline
#2 is value based and is neither right or wrong, but if you can't find harmony, your kungfu will suffer from it :p
It's hard to look at our own relationships objectively afterall.
yin and yang :D
cheers

lol @ WD
The phrase I wrote is basically saying you can have a girlfriend but you will have to devote some of your training time to keeping her happy, which is/should be in itself pleasurable. But should you do that be prepared for it to take longer for you to get to hero standard.
Gay? I think you may need to redefine your definition Dwid. Self denial can be a terrible thing. Chin up mate.
"Doing Kungfu is an outlet that is pleasurable. I don't think having a girlfriend or wife has any negative effect on the actual practice once you find the way to make all the aspects of your life fit together"
Exactly. And to a certain extent it stops you getting obsessional about your training. To be a hero you need to do an obsessional amount of training - but with a hot lady around you're going to be distracted from that. But then, unless its your ambition to be a hero, I don't think most guys are going to mind. But it does perhaps take a while to find a good balance.
My girl and I have a sh!t load of common ground. But its only fair to her that I don't spend too much time training, and neglect her, and its only fair to me that I don't neglect my training by not spending enough time on it by spending all my time with her.
Both people in a relationship have a right to expect a balance like that.
Like the man says, yin and yang.

Judge Pen-
Apparently a while back when one of the associate masters was having problems with his lady, Master Leonard told him to do more Iron Palm. He said the secret to dealing with women was doing Iron Palm. That was one of the funniest things I had heard in a while, but everytime I have a friend in class who is dealing with women issues I tell him the same thing.
And remember......"THAT" is not technically considered Iron Palm.....more like hairy palm.............

Truer words of wisdom have never been uttered.
Actually, good points all around. Especially MasterKiller's latest. =)
Though, in all honesty, too much time spent single and you'll be hoping you were in a steady relationship. I know I am. Casual sex and the whole lifestyle around that is nice for the ego and good for cleaning the pipes, but love is love. Word.

Train. Train hard and train as much as you can squeeze in. My only regret about getting married is that I don't have as much time to train as I would like and I did when I was single. Use it while you have it.

Thanks guys. I am LMAO at all of this. There's nothing like letting a bunch of strangers on the internet know about the details of your personal life to cheer you up! Some random thoughts:
MK: She WAS Meat Shake's mom! :o She has no sister. :mad:
NP: I've been hit on often since I've been a lawyer, but I expect that to go away. Women can smell a single guy and they avoid it like the plauge!
I'd like to find a kung fu girl, but they are few and far between. Dated one once, and the training still suffered.
Iron Palm? Good idea. Anyone got some good jow?

Re: fack some hoes
It's an old Nordic practise, which results in nature's own body lotion which is the ointment for all manly troubles.
Well that and clubbing (in both meanings -- but 'clubbing' for girls all the same) and caves on mountains.

Sorry to hear that JP. But, assuming you got $$ cause you are a lawyer... $$ can make for fun times. No woman usualy = more $$... more free time... No one to tell you that you cant go to the club... :eek:

The student loan officer and the mortgage company has my money. I've only been out of law school 3 years, so I'm still in a lower tax bracket.
The potential to make money. . . . that I can offer, but that's the last thing I want a girl to be interested in when she talks to me. My solution: date a doctor, they make more than lawyers!
BTW, how old is your mom and is she a doctor? :D

bright until you hear them speak

UT is a meat market, but it's fun to drive through there. I often head down to the strip for lunch, but since I'm usually in my "lawyer outfit" a.k.a. gray suit and tie, I stand out like a sore thumb.

Well JP, good luck on all that. Avoid depressing movies, depressants, and the ORA forum. Try a feeding frenzy this weekend to keep your mind off things. Or find a bad doctor, because even bad doctors make good money. That way, she can botch operations, and you can foil her malpractice suits, thus sating both your black hearts.
