ENWorld women

[Sixchan]

Interesting. Being bisexual, I kind of take turns talking about men and women. It's women at the moment. I only have about six pairs of shoes (most falling apart) and wear makeup very rarely. I'm coming around to clothes, though!

Well, in that aspect I'm probably as male as can be. I've had one pair of shoes for the last 2 years (and it's the same pair of shoes!). The two years before I had these, I had the exact same style of shoes.

I haven't had 2 pairs (not counting the pair that I wear only to funerals, weddings and the like) since I was at school.

Men! Clothes! Shoes! Makeup!

I miss that with my gal pals especially now that we're all in different cities all over the country. I'm surrounded by guys all day and I get enough talk about the latest video games, the latest technology...well if I'm lucky they'll actually talk about books as most of my guy pals are techies like me.

Ditto!!!
It's sad how hard it is to keep in touch when you live in different states. Guys don't seem to get 'girl talk,' and its d*mn hard to find intelligent, interesting female friends.


In regards to Pbartender: And for all these years I've thought I was the lucky one. How many women find guys who aren't intimidated by aggressive, confident, independant women who have opinions about everything?

Confirms my earlier statement to Pbartender, our wives do have A LOT in common.

I didn't intend to imply that there aren't lots and lots of great guys out there... I just haven't meant many who were interested in me (and not in some idealized image of me) and strong enough to let me be myself, support me, and let me support him when needed.

Lots of guys I've known, though perfectly intelligent, nice, ect. have a preference for cute women who are fluffheads - not all guys by any means and probably not even a majority of guys, but it's out there and it's annoying.

If the two of you are ever near Chicago; look us up for dinner or gaming or something!

All this time, I thought Sixchan and Kahuna Burger were guys. Oops.

I've found it's much more entertaining to assume all the posters are female unless you learn different.

we might just take you up on it although we'd have the three rugrats with us.

For a ling time I've gamed with the guys and for many years they just thought of me as a "lumpy guy" with occasional PMS but they also realized that I was more than capable at the table. The guys now admit to holding me in fear because of the required mothering they have seen me use with my kids It still hits me as funny that when the subject of who would you not want to tangle with in a dark alley comes up the answer is always little 4'11 me.

for example I went upstairs during the game to yell at the kids to go to bed and shut off the lights when I came back into the gaming room the guys were all sitting in the dark wiht their hands folded in their laps.

I'd much rather avoid any "Crying Game" scenarios, thank you very much.
