I'm not sure it counts, since the only witness was the MOTAS in question,
but I did feel silly at the time:

I met a guy at a party through a mutual acquaintance.  We talked... and
talked... and split up and went off to talk to other people... and ended
up talking again... by which point I was interested enough to want to
find out more about him to see if he'd be a good person to go out with,
and was hoping it wasn't just a fluke he kept talking to me, though I
thought it was possible that he was just spending a lot of time with me
because he didn't know many people there.  So here I am doing the usual
flirting juggling act of trying to look interested if that's what he's
looking for, yet not be so obvious that I'll embarrass myself if he turns
out to be just being friendly, while also trying to learn more about him.
Somehow cats came up in the conversation, probably partly through some 
machinations of mine -- since, as I explained another time, my roommate
and I have 4 cats between us, no guy that hated cats would be a very good
match for me, so I was probably fishing for information on his feline
affinity.  I asked him, casually I hoped, if he liked cats, but when he
answered that he did, I slipped up and said, "Oh good!" in a relieved
tone, thus revealing that I was checking him out and assumed he was doing
the same.  Fortunately the look that flickered across his face was amused
rather than startled, so I wasn't too embarrassed.  (We did end up going
out for a few months.)

I never have been all that smooth at flirting, though I suppose I improve
with practice.  Quantum mechanics is less taxing (but less fun a lot of
the time, I must admit).

	Well, i should not be telling this story, but one time i was with some
	college friends at a bar in missouri and , that is as close as you can
	get to where i was, but we left the bar, my friend with some girl and
	my self and a girl as well as a couple of friends left in my car.
	
	I was feeling very manly and at the time was not thinking correctly
	when we left the bar.  I didnt know how to get where i was going 
	because i was supposed to follow this other guy, apparently feeling
	rather manly himself when he sped out of the parking lot and dissapeared
	from our view.  We knew we had to get to the highway but where
	we went to get on the highway there was no on ramp.
	
	By this time myself, as well as some others in the car felt the
	urge to urinate so i pulled into an, already harvested mind you,
	corn field along the highway.  I drove for about an acre when i came to a
	a fence along the highway.  It was about 2 am so we all got out to urin-
	ate and i grabbed two pair of wire cutters out or my tool box and 
	well, anyway, we got on the highway and crossed the median and got 
	home.

    Winking! is Louis serious! I don't think women wink anymore,
    and if they did, is that grounds for a launching yourself
    immediately across the room for further negotiations?

    I mean isn't winking like giving someone your hotel room

    Can a guy wink at a woman? In a bar? On the street?

Heh, does it now? Could have fooled me. I live in Illinois and it only took  
about a month from the time I moved out until the divorce was final, and it  
wasn't filed until about 3 weeks or so before the court date. At the time, I  
kept hearing the phrase "geez, talk about not waiting until the corpse gets  
cold!" running around in my head. Check with a lawyer again, and I think the  
phrase to key on is "no-fault", but I am not sure.

Ah, but if a man is to consent to raising a child when he has sex, by the
sex act, then it is damn well time that women be held to the same standard.
Ergo, there is no need for abortion rights.

In fact, at the time when these "paternity" laws were drafted, it was indeed
the law that women consented to raising children when they had sex -- because
abortion was at that time illegal in many states.

Look at Michigan as an example.  I believe that paternity support law was
passed in 1959 (close enough).  RvW didn't come about until a decade later.

Thus, the feminists changed the rules mid-stream TO EXCUSE THEMSELVES FROM
THE RESPONSIBILITY that came with their choice.  Of course, they conveniently
forgot to change the law on paternity so that the legal options and
requirements of both sexes matched the physical options.  Then, in the '70s
and '80s, they went after men with a vengence for "the good of the child".

Is this a surprise?  No.  Is it surprising that feminists now refuse to
grant men the same financial freedom that they obtained by changing the
rules mid-stream?  No, but it does tell all men just what they're up
against, and what tactics are going to have any chance of success.
