Why must a loving soul be so alone...

You are an anomaly you lucky dog

That made my day. Thanks, TB!

Of course you'll attract leather clad females... but since when is that a bad thing.

I'm with Darth K'Trava here, I only dated guys when I did that I already had as friends or knew I could be friends with. That part was VERY important to me. However I also made it clear to all of them that I didn't want sex, this was because of a promise (which I now know was so easy to keep because I just didn't want sex with guys :\ ). This did not mean that lust was not a big factor, and that fun was not had by all. But I know I don't really lust for someone till I know them a bit. That makes them more attractive, sexy, and just plan turns me on. It has been the same with women now, I am friends first. I would assume that this sort of avenue with his own twists would be more what Fru wants because he is not in it for the sex, he is looking for more. More comes with friendship I believe. How can one marry someone they are not friends with truly?

It's too bad we can't make guys like TB see things from OUR perspective. That not all women are whores like he'd like.... That's just wrong. Those kinds of guys should just pay for sex and get it over with as that's all they want out of a "relationship". If I can't be friends with ya, then what good are you? I don't do one night stands.

I have an ex g/f from many years ago who just goes insane for Harleys. Of course, the reason she's an ex is because she WAS insane, but that's neither here nor there.

Only if your nickname is "The Terminator"!

A "freindship" where one friend has romantic designs on the other (who doesn't) is not a friendship it is a recipe for disaster.

Very, VERY true...

They're only trying to obey the FIRST command given to life - "Be fruitful, and multiply."

And ya wonder just why Torm lost his paladinhood.....

I do believe that was Woody Allen.

Oh, and just so I'm contributing more than an answer to an incidental question asked a couple of days ago, I'm going to say that I've had some luck in the Personals section at theonion.com. I've met some smart, funny people there, and had some very good dates through them. The clientele seems less, well, dumb than at match.com and other services. I giv 'em a thumbs up! Of course, the first woman I went out with through them apparently hated me within, oh, 5 minutes of meeting me, so results will vary...

Once upon a time I had an account at one of those online sites. I honestly can't remember which one. This was probably 7 years ago now. Maybe friendfinder? Which isn't a bad thing, since you're coming into that site with no preconceived expectation. If someone wants to just be "friends", then you're golden, since that is what the site is about.

Anyway, all that ever materialized from it was some girl emailing me and she mentioned something about driving a truck, and having a "CB handle". Needless to say, I didn't email her back. Scary.

My aunt used to have a CB handle... she never drove trucks but she had one back in the "CB radio craze" of the late 70s.

Wow, that's weird. We're getting an Ikea put in where I live, not 5 minutes from my house. I'll have to look around; it amuses me to no end to think of it as a meat-market. The one time I'd been in one previously I thought of it as a young yuppie parent hangout with their 1.5 kids in tow.

Sometimes, and I think it varies depending on the location. But don't forget, people with kids can be single too. I've found that the vast majority of people in my local Ikea are college students or divorcees.
