How to acquire a "rugged look"?

In my experience it is no coincidence, and is a quite common
experience, to attract a female when you are least trying and not even
particularly thinking about it.

Many women feel challenged by a man who shows no interest and/or see a
lack of interest as evidence of self-confidence.

They are strange but wonderfully constructed people, with whom I have
had the most exciting times of my life, and look forward to many
more!!

Vive la difference!! ;o)

lol...I actually had a couple of those books back in the '70s.

Who didn't that grew up in that generation?

Uh... apparently Whit and me. And I don't consider us particularly
illiterate.

I'm talking '60s moreso than the '70's.

Demographics factor into that, too.

I spent many years sequestered in the Northeast woods. Those books
were handy at one time.

Kindling?

that's country music's attitude in GENERAL imo -

think Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Martina McBride, etc.

Johnny Cash wore black, I like that, even if I don't like the music.

frankly, i frigging love country music. i like old skool hardcore punk,
heavy metal, etc. too. but country rools.

i also like its politics - politically incorrect, not afraid to be
pro-religion and pro-God, pro-individuality, pro-family, and no nonsense.

whit

Well, I'm certainly not pro-religion, can't stand any religion, but I like
the politically incorrect part of it all.

I'm not sure if being pro-religion is being pro-individuality, though. They
seem to cross each other out. I remember being raised as a Lutheran and the
pastor telling us sheep were good and goats were bad.

Perhaps he had found the sheep easier to have sex with.

men have fists, mouths, and trigger fingers.

thus, they are "potentially abusive".

what a load of PC rubbish.

i guess stephen hawkings is an exception. :l

What if he issues a THREAT of violence through his speech-panel?



generally speaking, such a threat would only be prosecutable if the

Wheelchairs can be dangerous. The ones with the batteries and all the crap
to make them run for a guy like that are heavy. Be like running somebody
down with a Kia. Personally, if a guy like Hawkings voice synthesized a
threat to me, I'd have to shoot him before he could get a run at me.

Probably, at some point, they did serve as fire starting material in
one or both of the woodstoves.

lol...all I wear is sleeveless! My son accuses me of being a

get used to them, you hate sleeves. Not to mention, my guns are

Monday (I gave her my card). So I called her last night. We're

Hot Date with Gorgeous Chick Update:

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.

and mary matalin and james carville, etc.

IMO, while it's "nice" to have someone you can agree with politically, it
isn't necessary. love is. (cue: violins). seriously.

now, if it was going to go into marriage and kidlets, THEN it might become a
bigger issue in terms of the "how do we raise our kids" philisophical
questions. not that i would start discussing this on a 2nd date. that's
kind of weird.

what is important, imo, is that people believe in each other. they don't
have to believe in the same political stuff

It could be good for both of you. If either of you is so locked into
static and immutable beliefs and values that you are incapable of
listening to the other, then you are incapable of making a
relationship work ... with anyone. We all view life from different
perspectives. If you take every expression of a different view as a
personal challenge to your ego, then you've already failed. Do you
want to be lonely and embittered like Mr. Hankey?

You don't have to agree with her, but if you're willing to listen to
her views, you might be surprised that she is willing to do the same.

It's all about balance. Yin and yang.
