Dog Soldier

I think I already said that.  Anyway I think I'll start a new thread so that this one can get back to interesting websites.

A thing is what it is.  I've done stuff in my past that was truly bad.  At the time I could justify it but later it came back to haunt me.  There is a stigma attached to one night stands and other assorted related activity. It just is, you can't change it.  You can get so calloused that you don't care but that just leads you down a path of not caring about other stuff too.  In the end everyone needs to keep a true to themself.  The only advice I can give is to get out of things that cause you misery as soon as you can and find someone to love.

This probably doesn't make any sense.  Oh well I'm not noted for extreme eloquence

Human biochemistry is a lot more complicated than most people even suspect.  Personally I just try to enjoy it myself.  My experience has shown that a man who starts commenting on a womans natural rhythm is really taking a risk.

Of course a small minority of women have:

P ermanent

M ean

S treak

What is your argument in favor of not surviving?

I'm going to sound like a cynic here rather like like my hopelessly romantic self.

DEEP BREATH

Prostitution is normal and common.  

There, I've said it.  I cannot comdemn

When a young, divorced mother recently asked me if I could fix her computer and then we could "work something out"  she only meant one thing.  That happens fairly regularly.  Once I asked a employee of one of my clients out on a date.  I thought everthing was going pretty good but she became more and more agitated as the evening progressed.  I finally asked her what the problem was and she blurted out,"Rosemary told me that you were very important to the company and I need to take really good care of you."  That burned into my mind along with the look of terror on the girls face.  I took her home and dropped her off without even a goodnight kiss.  I was really pissed.  But not at the girl, if I had said the word she would have taken care of me any way that I might have wanted.  She would have done what she needed to do to protect her job and income.  I was most angry at myself.  If she hadn't panicked I could have pretended that it was my charm and good looks.  That look of terror still haunts me.  Another time a young lady needed an escort to an event and she called me.  I took her there and spent an evening bored out of my mind.  As we left I briefly got a flash of that same look from her.  I got her to her car and told her good night where I was rewarded with a kiss and a relieved expression.  Later I found out that the first girl had told her "sister" that I was safe to be with.  Still, there was an implied "transaction".  She really did owe me something for that evening and she knew it, I just wasn't willing to collect.  

It doesn't matter if it's in a dating situation, a job or just a housewife who "cuts off" her husband to leverage something out of him.  I guess I've rambled enough and put my foot in my mouth again but I don't want anyone thinking that I feel that I can put down someone for choices I'll never have to make.  It still makes me sad though.

Unfortunately, that sort of work is dangerous.  If not outright assault then the potential for disease.  Ultimately human beings are reduced to being toys for the pleasure of others.  It makes me sad

Well, they do call me "Old Painless"

Actually the appropriate penalty for rape would be the 245 solution. Two .45 caliber rounds slugs administered to the back of the head.  

Rape is punishable by fine?! That boggles my mind   Of course dating services are equally likely to get you jail time here also.

The funny thing is that I couldn't pay for a date.  I would feel like I had pretty well bottomed out and may as well eat my gun if I had to pay for a date.  I couldn't perform if I had to pay for sex.

Following your logic my ex-wife wasn't a woman and I am.  I know better than that

The fact that they prefer the inexperienced would trigger my "run away" instinct.  The masculine features may indicate sex changes or it could possibly be that the women have higher level of testoterone than average.  As an interesting side note, a cop friend of mine that worked vice observed that a fairly high number of the hookers he knew had lesbian "domestic partners".

The post on this thread tend to reinforced my belief that "escorts" aren't generally held in high esteem

Why would that be? Do minorities all belong to a collective intelligence?

One of our local "real estate developers" which translates into a slum lord for trailer parks drives a loaded Cadillac Escalade.  The Caddy sports a bumper sticker that proclaims "I'm to poor to be a Republican".  A good number of his tenants drive beat up old trucks that boast a number of stickers for Republican candidates.  I really don't buy the whole Republicans are rich/Democrats are working people line.

Would it be safer than what you are doing now?

Your humble servant Dog Soldier got the reference

Right libetarian

You might point out that Australia isn't immune to the war either.

Bunnycakes,  many years ago I had some bi-sexual transgender friends.  The bastards slipped something into my drink at a party in an effort to help me "come out".  However I wasn't incapacitated and a really nasty scene followed.  My advice is to tell this person to go to hell right now and save yourself a lot of potential grief.

I personally enjoy my chemical condition.  I can't imagine living the kind of life the Malek describes.  The smiles, the eye contact,  oh man.  Puts a smile on my face just thinking about it.

I know that love at first sight is a fact.  It happens to me several times a day.

All the talk of strictly territorial gangs is well and good.  Those are all first tier gang organizations.  Has anyone put any thought into the second and third tier organization exhibited by groups like Black Bloc Anrchist or soccer hooligans.  If you're and anarchist I know that the Black Bloc isn't an oragnization.

There are a lot more and better articles than this one but I'm too lazy to run 'em all down right now.

I think that constitutes a review in itself
