lol...all I wear is sleeveless! My son accuses me of being a
member of the Village People, but I love wearing them. I
just
tell
him he's a skater punk, and that he knows nothing (we have a
great
relationship...he's a good kid...and conservative). And once
you
get used to them, you hate sleeves. Not to mention, my guns
are
looking pretty good these days. Went dancing last Friday and
met a
gorgeous woman that asked if I had a girlfriend, then gave me
her
number. Oh yeah! I didn't call her right away, so she
emailed
me
Monday (I gave her my card). So I called her last night.
We're
going out Saturday for dinner. I'd of thought she was out of
my
league...she's that nice. Must be the sleeveless shirt I
wore
Friday...

And then you woke up and wrote this post...

Well guys, I took her out last night. We went to dinner (no, not home
for
the cocktails and two hours of sex), went to the river front and
walked
in a
park, then sat in a lobby on a couch and talked for a couple of hours
until
2am. I really enjoyed it. Even got some kissing in.

Damn, she's hot. She used to work as a bunny at the main Playboy club
in
Cali. You know...with the bunny ears and the whole thing. She's also
an
MBA. What she's doing with the likes of me I don't really know. I'm
broke
as hell and she knows it (I took her out in my '89 Camry...a real babe
magnet ride). I'm not overly handsome. And she wasn't going for my
zipper
last night so that wasn't it.

Here's my dilemma. She's a liberal. And in case you have been locked
in
a
closet for the last month, you know by now where I stand politically.
But I
like her...provided we don't get into politics. Yes, she knows I'm a
conservative, and she's trying to reconcile that as well. She also
likes
me. But...how do you NOT eventually get into politics? I think I
could
handle it, but we know how intolerant liberals are. I don't think she
could
handle it.

So, what do you guys think? Is it possible? Arnold did it with Maria
and
it seems to work. But I'm kind of thinking not anything long term
would
ever work. I would eventually spout something like "kill the rat
*******s"
while watching Fox's coverage of the war or something and it'd be all
over.

You think too much Larry; get on with it and let 'love' take its
course. Remember the words to the song: "If we thought of it at the
start of it......."!!


Thanks Whit, John and John for the advice. I'm going to go with it for
now.
We talked on the phone tonight for an hour. Not only does she have a
knockout body, but she has brains! Definitely a nice amenity to the
already
exquisite package!

Give her one for me, and report back with enough gory details to keep
****** McD busy for a month!!

Oh God, now we have a men's support group here. giggle

Aren't there other forums for that??

Isn't this misc.male.bonding? ****...I knew I shouldn't have taken that
left turn at Albuquerque...

There's an exit door to your left.

I thought the main Playboy Club was in Chicago.

Here's my dilemma. She's a liberal.

So? Let her be on top.

Of course you are Elzi dear, you are good at everything, which is why

Obviously, the man needs to be in shape to look rugged, but therei s
something beyond that that I am having difficulty capturing. So, what
is it that constitutes a "rugged look", and how would one go towards
such an appearance.

You'll get into it eventually, and you may be surprised at the outcome. In
my house, heated political discussions (he's conservative, I'm liberal,
but
we're both moderates to some degree) never reach anything close to fight
status. I admire him for standing up for what he believes in and he
admires
me for the same. Any feelings of irritation or aggression are resolved
with
a quick round of XBox.

So, what do you guys think? Is it possible? Arnold did it with Maria
and
it seems to work. But I'm kind of thinking not anything long term would
ever work. I would eventually spout something like "kill the rat
*******s"
while watching Fox's coverage of the war or something and it'd be all

Speaking from my own experience, it can definitely work. If her political
viewpoint, as long as it isn't rabid or extremist for either side, is your
biggest obstacle, you're golden.

Best of luck.

Thanks Ange for the input!

But...how do you NOT eventually get into politics?

Same as you deal with any other contentious issue. You decide you
will not discuss it between you, after you both know where the other
stands. Same with mixed religion families but with an added
advantage - In most democratic/republic nations votes are by secret
ballot. Religion and politics are the source of fights. Fights are
bad for domestic tranquility. Therefore do not discuss them at
home.

My wife's liberal and I'm libertarian. It's a libertarian principle
that she gets to be a liberal if she wants to. It's a free country
and we both believe we should actually live up to that standard. My
wife's an agnostic and I'm a member of a small obscure religion.
It's a free country and we both believe/live up to. Freedom of
religion means any religion; freedom of religion includes freedom
from religion. She's cautious, I'm strange; shrug.

It's something you need to decide that you won't let it be a problem.
Separation of church and state, state and family are real. IF you
live in such a way to make them real. You have to make that decision
and live with it. So make sure you can make that decision and make
sure you can live up to it. Some can, some can't. More can in real
life than think they can in theory.
