Women... Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I couldn't make upp my mind if to put this in Humor or somewhere for discussion... However, it's almost a oneliner... True however

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

Too many times have I been that interviewee. I just move on and apply elsewhere!

I recommend swiping office supplies.

Actually, it's more like saying "You basically give us 90% of what we need for free, so we have no need to actually formally employ you. This way we can spend our Human Resources budget on beer and shoes."
