but you are not exposed to me, only impersonally on the internet. In fact, you don't even know my name, my mannerisms, my likes or dislikes. Its not the same. I think it only works for the people you surround yourself with, I also don't think it works for everyone. I am sure there are people who hate me (I live in blissful ignorance of who or why) but I like to think that most people around me love me. Perhaps it is more related to having a positive attitude than anything else. As a general rule though, I prefer happy bubbly fun people, to unhappy unfriendly non-fun people

I also prefer boring appropriately dressed people, to exciting scantily clothed people. I like people to have some self respect

I'm just kidding. You ever get in one of those moods where you just want to be a smart alec? I can't get out of it

I do actually, I usually plague my mother with it though. I am cool with you liking sluts, whatever floats your boat! One question though, would you really marry a girl like that? Is that the kind of person you want to spend the rest of your life with, or do you just like to sleep with them?

Perhaps I am boring.. that doesn't bother me too much. I don't think I am boring though, I just like a little mystery. I love my body just the way it is, and I don't think that just anyone should have the right to look at it. Theres not much else that I can really say is mine.

Thats it, I am spitting in your shoes unless you bend over and show me that tramp stamp.

*reads tribdog's mind* Ooh, that was a bad idea...there's scary stuff in there! :bugeye: *shudders*

He's wondering if that's a trick question. :biggrin: :smile:

I know one person who dislikes you though...your crazy roommate. :biggrin: I'll bet she's left behind a long line of guys wondering why they always find crazy women. People like that should come with a warning label...I think that's a good use of a tattoo. :wink:

What you get up to in the privacy of your bedroom is your own affair. :wink::smile:

I don't think a woman's past has much to do with how I feel about them. sex is a very important part of a relationship though and I am much more likely to marry someone who is fun in bed than someone who is uptight and views sex as sin. I think the world has a terrible double standard about women being sluts and men being studs. I've slept with hundreds of women so I have absolutely no room to talk about my girlfriend's totals.

Passing out in the hallway of a women's dorm doesn't count. :biggrin:

Hehe, Moonbear is funny!

Just because youre conservative about who you sleep with doesn't make you boring in bed.

Too true. I've been with only half a dozen women in my entire life (I'm not conservative, but I do practice monogamy once I get involved). Those who viewed sex as a strictly recreational activity tended to just go through the motions. The ones who thought that I was something special to them expressed a sense of joy that really enhanced things.

I just wanted to thanks everyone for your input. It has been very helpful, and eye opening too. I also had the influence of my family to make it a little easier. Thanks again everyone :)

Speaking of which, I've seen a ton of women with tattoos on their neck lately. Dis-gust-ting.

I find both to be disgusting.

If a girl has a tattoo on her lower back, multiply the number of guys she said she has slept with by 10.

:smile:

I've always kind of had a thing for women with lots of tattoos (even full sleeves). Ohhh I also like brunettes who smoke, but not so much blondes. Weird huh?

A woman that smokes = disgusting.

Not anymore.. they put stuff that numbs skin

I think it is nasty when anyone smokes. As for tattoos, if they are meaningful, then they are ok, and as long as they don't have a bunch of them either. I want to thank everyone for your input, it has helped in my decesion :smile:

LMAO! :smile: That is brilliant. Yeah I can't say I am a fan or either. I don't mind a few on a girls ears, but the more exotic ones, through the tongue, nose and other regions are a bit much.

Well at least this one look epic :rolleyes:

Love yourself and other people will be forced to do the same

Since when!? I love myself at least once a day (twice if I'm really bored), and I see no noticeable love coming from other people. :rolleyes:

LOL, and as most parents would say...If all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you? :biggrin:

Always be careful how you answer that question. With my mom, it was "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?"

Years later, I found myself at the end of a line of crazy military policemen, all jumping off a thirty foot cliff, one after the other, into the river at the end of a rafting trip thinking, "Damn! Where was Regis and where was my lifeline when she asked that question?!"

I never would have been silly enough to go for the body piercings, though. Bad friends with a sick sense of humor, mostly. If they suggested sticking a fish hook through a body part, you could be pretty sure the fishing line was still hooked to the other end.

LOL, that would be a good sight to see though, like, little ducklings jumping in the water :biggrin:
