Fuck off, twit. Your contention was that one must fit some standard
of good looks to get laid and/or have a mate. Since I know this to
be false I was giving you the benefit of a doubt as to why your
perception is off. I meant to excuse your bullshit by suggesting 
that you hadn't been off the farm and didn't know what the fuck you 
were talking about. I can see now that there is no getting around
the fact that you are an immature, unperceptive, looksist twit.

As far as geographic differences go: big cities have bear bars and
parties, girth & mirth clubs, etc. Smaller cities and towns tend
to have only a few gay bars, which tend to cater to people like you.

Irony? So when you wrote:

	bbc>to have self-worth and to be found attractive by other people.

	cbe>I swear, we must be living in mutually exclusive gay universes.

You were being ironic?

And when you wrote:

	cbe>Hmmmm....I wonder when Hell will freeze over.

You were being ironic?

And when you wrote:
	bbc>BBC, beautiful, sexy,
	bbc>cuddly, unwaxed, not
	bbc>blonde, not thin, and
	bbc>without designer clothes,

	cbe>but with mate?

That was irony, too? Fortunately, bbc does have a mate, so
it wasn't as cruel a thing to say as it might have been....

I think you were right, you are living in another universe.
One in which a shallow, immature, unperceptive, looksist twit
can post crap and people will believe he was being ironic.

Ah, so in addition to your many other faults, you're st00pid too.
For one thing, you don't need to "sign" every post, and posting
another posting saying you forgot to sign your previous posting
is just stupid. Also, if you are on a UNIX machine, you can put
your signature in a file named .signature. To get your name to
show up in the from: line, instead of just the name of your
account, put setenv NAME 'Colburn Eigen, twit' in your .login
file. If you aren't on a UNIX machine, ask your sysadmin, or RTFM.
