Woman in power is powerless when it comes to meeting men

Has anybody besides me ever... been so physically attracted to a member of the other sex that he SMELLS good?

OMG Yes!

They may not start out that way, but give'm long enough and they end up that way!

[marajade]

Ever visited Phoenix in the summer?

[Age of Reason]

They may not start out that way, but give'm long enough and they end up that way!

I dunno about that.

I ran across one or two real stinkers in my time.

One's sense of smell does diminish with time, though.

Well,

I don't use perfume. In the places I hang out the nats and mosquitos love that stuff.

On occasion I've probalbly smelled like fish -- after I unhooked them from hooks all day.

I did have one guy tell me after I came off the bay (fishing) and my hair was a tangled mess, that he just liked the disheveled look.

Took me a week to comb out all the tangles, but my hair was long, straight and, well, tangled.

But we wimmonfolk are talking about the stuff you can't put in a perfume bottle.

said 'do you need to be hit with a brick'?

Most of the time, us men do need that.

Dear sir, those are no ladies!

Call me ol' fashioned, but when I encounter a female, well dressed, well groomed, attractive and well spoken (denoting a level of intelligence), I call them Ladies.

Keep in mind; flirting is not a sin. As a matter of fact I find that quite flattering for a 48 years old guy, to have the "common on" for the ladies.

Not even my wife minds it, provide I do not cross the line she said.

I believe the foundation of a relationship whether marriage or otherwise is the level of trust and commitment one brings in that relation, thus a sense of security on both sides will be raised and will overcome the temptations I just mentioned.

Nothing will surpass individual moral integrity and conviction.

I've seen that phenomenon as well. My ex sat in an apartment for 4 yrs....trying to figure out how to balance a checkbook. *chuckle*

[Rca2000]

That is what the little, portable air compressors are for-- I keep one in my van. It cost about $15.

[LaineyDee]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[PLMerite]

"And men like being pursued."

I don't really need to be pursued, but I'd at least like a sign that a woman is interested. I'm fairly smart, but I'm not psychic. Small words, short sentences give the least opportunity for misunderstanding.

That smell is part of the "chemistry".
That and gestures, I love it when a woman reaches
behind her head and lifts her hair off her neck,
drives me wild, a lovely neck is a thing of beauty.

[Age of Reason]

we wimmonfolk are talking about the stuff you can't put in a perfume bottle.

But that's what I was talking about, too.

Read my post again.

[Age of Reason]

It may sound awful--but it always worked for me!

(Only kidding. Although I confess I have thought about it.)

[thinking]

curious, I noticed over the years, that is before women took over the office, that men always had a picture, of the "wife" and children...but, then after the women arrived, one would only see a picture, of the children, no "husband"....

I don't use perfume. In the places I hang out the nats and mosquitos love that stuff.

Try Avon Skin so Soft.

Mixed with water, people spray their horses with it to keep the flies off.

Wish I could agree with you. However,I (and my family, for that matter) were NEVER accepted, at churches. The last one I was at (a medium-sized one, 300-500 on a Sunday), the women there thought they were "too good" for me, and sought out better looking, richer,more popular guys(the same for the guys there, towards my sister and mother). Not to mention, and worse, although the church SPOKE about helping others in need, and such, when MY family was hurting financially, the ONLY help I or my family received was the usual "get a job" type comments. And one girl, whom others there had suggested would be a good match for me,(even though my sister and mother thought she was unattractive), I tried to establish a friendship with for nearly 9 years.However, she thought she was too good for me OR my family, and would walk away from me, my mother, or my sister, whenever we attempted to speak with her. This, from the SAME girl, who gave a speech, about a week before I left there, about how "we must make sure that people who come into this church are not forgotten, and that we show them love,and friendship, and do not allow them to "slip through the cracks", so to speak".ALL THE WHILE, SHE HAD SHUNNED ME ,AND MY FAMILY, FOR NEARLY 9 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So NO ,church is NOT a good place, to find friends, or a mate, UNLESS you fit into the "in" crowd-- which me and my family never have.

[LaineyDee]

Ick... Ick and Ick again!! LOL

[Publius6961]

And I respond to it by baking incredible pie, among other things.

Well, when you're ready to dump that loser, let me know?

[JABBERBONK]

I am a male who has dated, College PH d's, Attorneys, and commodities brokers. These women were very attractive, fun to be with, bright, and great conversationalists, but marry one!!!!!! have one bare my children!!????!!!!, OH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA.

Hey reasonable,

I dicovered the Skin So Soft years ago.

I took a little 13-year-old boy fishing down in a swamp in Louisiana a few years ago, and the skeeters wouldn't come near you if you had it on.

However, I was camping in a state forest, and took a shower in one of the public bathhouses the last night. I was probably tired or something, and got out of the shower, put on my clothes, and bathed the EXPOSED parts of my body in it.

I woke up the next morning, in a tent, and had all the covered parts of my body eaten alive.

Them skeeters love me.

Plus, I don't think it helps to catch fish when your hands are covered with this stuff and you have to tie on another bait.

I am learning to just wear more clothes now. Cover the eatable parts up.
