I don't know, Z. I feel that these older guys should just keep their shirts on, if you know what I mean. Hardly gentlemanly to reveal their beer bellies, as truly awesome as they might be.
Hey, I worship at the altar of Dionysus, so I know how you feel. In fact, for me it's worse: the god thinks I'm a dork, and usually just snickers at my prayers. I suppose I should stop offering him lite beer sacrifices?
Gee, Athens, I wonder why you'd pick an alarm clock as your least favorite inanimate object to become?
My cell phone. It's been beaten, drowned, and cursed at -- and that's only in the last couple of months! (Partly crushed while moving a heavy object; fell in lake with it in my pocket; the usual bad reception).
A lot of my Californian compatriots seem to think South Dakotan are a bunch of hicks. Well, gol dang it, they don't have no idea what the heck they're talkin' about!
I was inspired to ask this question by a recent inquiry about my separation status, and by the statement of one CSer that she wouldn't date someone who hadn't been divorced for years.
I understand the need for caution, but I think one should judge such things on a case by case basis. Some people wouldn't be ready for a relationship 10 years after a divorce. Others would be ready five minutes afterward (in the case where they've been growing apart for years).
I was listening to some music -- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald of all things -- as I read this. For some bizarre reason they clicked. Some really pretty lines in there B.
Seriously, I'd say it's the way a person holds him or herself, and the way they look at you. That's my first impression. After that follows the details of eyes, hair, lips, etc.
Oh, you are WAY out of my league, Z...in the way you respond to life's pratfalls with humor. When my pipes burst or things leak, I either get all weepy or feel like breaking something. I'm not speaking figuratively, btw, for others who may be reading this. In fact, I'm still cleaning out the mess under my home from my water heater blowing a gasket recently...
Well, Z, in all fairness, there's not a lot of guys that pull off wearing a witch/wizard hat like you can .
But seriously, I don't think it's unrealistic to realize that some women or men just aren't likely to think one's sufficiently physically attractive to be interested in. That doesn't say anything about one's worth -- just that one lacks a quality that someone else desires. To mope around about that, as I'm doing above, is a loser attitude -- I agree with you there, Z.
Sounds rather discriminatory. I don't think I'd be interested in someone who thought her "league" was go great that I was way out of it
Seriously, it's simply true that many men and women have physical standards (along with others) that tend to exclude certain individuals. I'm not condoning his particular comment, Dom, but if one means by "out of one's league" that a particular person does not meet your standards -- or you suspect you wouldn't meet theirs -- that's certainly a very realistic possibility.
If I were to hit on young beautiful women, the chances are close to 100% that they would reject me as not meeting their standards of physical attraction. The meaning of "out of one's league" surely applies in that sense.
It wouldn't be my first choice, but there could be some advantages. One would be the opportunity to visit a new place. I like Athens' advice about planning an alternative venue when visiting a new friend, in the event the sparks don't fly (or they do, and you get burned )
I would certainly love to check off a particular "older woman experience" box myself Who can blame these poor, innocent, starry-eyed young blokes from falling under the spell of these elder enchantresses?
I do know one who goes out, but he, predictably, isn't here now. Anyhow, I feel kind of sad to see an attractive young lady such as yourself hanging around on CS instead of being out enjoying yourself with your peers. Life should be lived to the fullest when you're young!
RE: Best Male Body on CS
Just when I thought this contest had no possible moral or esthetic-redeeming elements. Thanks for this dose of good common sense, Robert!
