and i'm so slow, i didn't know fake baking = tanning beds. nope, no tanning beds for me. i'm naturally brown.
I actually agree with you on this. I started to put something similar, but didn't know how to word it properly. I definitely think if you are really paying attention, you get sort of a gut feeling about someone. Especially if you didn't meet specifically for the purpose of dating. Not sure if I would actually call it love, but definitely the startings of it.
Uh huh. It's like the opposite of doucheface - just like jerky guys have faces you inexplicably want to punch even if you have no real reason, you can get positive reads on people, too.
Do you beleive in love at first sight? Love, no. Lust, yes.

Ever been hit on by the same sex? Yes. My boyfriend's brother is gay, so we've been to a few local gay bars with him. I get hit on ALL the time. I've always been bi-curious and I guess that's sensed.

Do you beleive in love at first sight? Nope, just lust. EXH taught me that

Omg, please. You took one word out of context and now you're running with it. Please tell me this isn't the highlight of your day.
Damn you, JM, this is all your fault! Although I feel like this is a big moment for me. It's the closest I've come to getting flamed.
What was taken out of context? You said that women have hit on you, and then you said "yuck," followed by several exclamation points. Make no mistake -- nothing was taken out of context, and this isn't even close to a flaming.
I get if chicks aren't you're thing. Nothing wrong with that. But to be all grossed out simply because someone of the same sex found you attractive and said so? Just doesn't sit well with me.
Besides, why do you even care? As you were so quick to point out, I don't "know" you.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
LOL!! You arent being flamed...that is just GOZ being GOZ. Acting like someone crapped in her cornflakes is routine around here.
I know I'm not being flamed
But can I count this as my first flaming? I want to be cool too! LOL.
And I'll now be using your crapped in the cornflakes line. Love it!
Pardon me, JM? I sometimes find you grating and immature and alarmingly obtuse, and when that does happen, I react to you as such. I found Turtle's comment problematic, so I addressed it.
When people aren't saying assh0le-y things, I'm lovely. There are several folks on here whom I quite enjoy. You're in error to make this about my disposition or my outlook on this board in general.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Heck yes there is always room for a newbie!!
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
You find me immature...fair enough. I find you funny sometimes, but more often I find you to be negative. So you say I am "in error" and I say that is just my personal opinion of you.
You're entitled to have whatever opinion of me you like. However, it's not like I come in here just to give people a hard time. Maybe I call you out on things a lot, and that's what you notice more than anything (which makes sense), but more frequently, I try to offer people good, solid advice. I try to talk about the importance of doing what makes a person happy and to place less value on arbitrary societal rules. I'm honest, and sympathetic, and yes, sometimes easily annoyed. But to say that I act like I someone "crapped in my corn flakes," is just simply not true.
You're right about one thing. I AM funny. If you'd imagine me smiling and raising an eyebrow when you read my posts (which is often the case), you'd find me far less dour.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Ever been hit on by the same sex? yes 2 wks ago. I was out to dinner with a male friend and the waitress kept looking deep into my eyes and I was freezing while waiting for my food. After my food arrived she offered to warm me up and gave me this coy smile. When she walked away I looked at my friend and said umm is it just me or was she hitting on me? He was like yep she didn't offer to warm me up.
Do you like random polls? it helped pass a few minutes of my time at the end of a very productive work day
