So is this going to be the theme for BosBoink, and is it in fact
being precipitously planned, or was that just to get everybody's

I interpreted this as no makeup, no hair products, etc. got more
attention from men.  Did I read that right?  (That would be the
case for this man.)

If so, maybe this could be the basis for an advertising campaign 
(Cosmo, and the like) "I got more men wearing no makeup at all!"

Only half a :-)  Some days I'd even foot part of the bill for the
ad space.

Actually I'd like to have something to tell, but that was nearly all, as
they are still Young And Decent Girls, although 1st class amazons.

But what was still missing on the sex side was compensated on the energy
and passion side...although they weren't very accustomed to handling
handcuffed men, and they nearly broke both of my wrists (they still
hurt).

Stripping clothes off virgin girls always makes me feel like an old,
dirty pervert; to get to their "strategic zones" as the Little Amazon
very funnily put it ;-)

Anyone interested in going to a dance party / pot luck next Friday

next Wednesday (Aug. 26), also in NYC?  (No cover, no minimum)

Finally I see a post where someone has put some definition to "other
activities!"  How would you determine which of you would stay home
with the baby, for how long, and would the one taking the home-option
return to work when pre-school started?

When you say "raise them through preschool" I'm assuming that you mean
when they are in pre-school you would not longer stay home, yes?  So
you're talking about a couple of years.  How would you feel about
yourself or your spouse if they chose to stay home when the child(ren)
were not there during the day?

My point that I wouldn't advise anyone to risk the possibility of being
responsible for supporting someone who is not inclined to be able
to support themself should the marriage dissolve.  It happens.

Sorry Greg.  I am a kinda traditional Chinese from Hong Kong who happen

However, you are right that women don't like guys that just want sex.

It wasn't the ring. It's just that the girlfriends of attached women sometimes 
fantasize about a threesome with their girlfriend and her partner.

Unfortunately, it only starts the reaction and the presence of the catalysts
for each ensuing step is unreliable, and there's a high probability that they
will actually reverse the process.

Having spent some time in Britain (mostly in London admittedly) I really
must protest. I believe that exactly the same assumptions would be made
in a British club. It would depend on the way they danced, the type of
club, music, and a million other factors, but homophobic attitudes are
fairly widespread in Britain. (Even though "The homosexual act" is not
illegal in the UK as it is here.)

AAAAIIIIEEEE!!!!!  You just DO NOT GET IT, do you?  It doesn't have any
ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with logic!  Throw a bucket of ice water in
your face *NOW!!!!!!*  Turn your fucking word machine off and listen to
the other centers of intelligence.  Listen to your dick, and your guts,
and your heart.  Listen to your *humor gland!*

You have two options:  1)  Completely accept your own naivete and lauch
yourself willy-nilly into a campaign of approaching literally every
woman you find attractive and simply accepting the rebuffs as learning
experiences (you'll like this part: look for logical correlations
between your behavior and the reactions you receive.)  Or, 2)  Decide
that you ARE SPOCK, and run with it.  Post personal adds everywhere you
can possibly think of (nerdly exercise #2) saying "I am a total Spock,
looking for a Spockette."

My personal feeling is that *truly dedicating* yourself to either of
these approaches (or, in fact, dedicating yourself to *anything* other
that sitting-around-thinking-about-it) will bring you the results you
desire.

Oh but I forgot, you don't know how to do that because you've never done
it before.  Oh well.

And ANOTHER thing... There's a little secret that the gremlins like to
whisper in a man's ear on a moonless midnight.  Since you were
apparently back home color-coding your receipt collection that night
I'll pass it along:  women are people.  Humans.  JUST LIKE US, only
different.  You can talk to them, ask them questions, even reveal
your feelings to them without causing the sky to fall.  Amazing, but
true.

I did (and still do).  Clarification: he was not sufficiently physically
