That guy was as queer as a three dollar bill and probably knows more about current fashion than most women do. The last thing he would be looking at would be your figure.

Now if your boyfriend or husband was with you, that's where the trouble could start. Trying to pick up on men in 'Frisco is a well known male character trait.

Curves won't let me join either. Boo Hoo. Neither will Linda Evans Clubs.

"Why can there no longer be a white heteral sexual mens group?"

There are!.

I belong to a Sportsman's club that has no female members, and never will.

It has nothing to do with sex discrimination, or with the fact that they may be good members.

If you stop at the club after work for a few beers, your wife might be unhappy if you stay to long.

But if she knows that there are no women there, it wont be near as bad if you stopped at the local pub.

Add women members and the $hit will hit the fan.

Sorry , Gals, if you want to stop down you should be escorted, the wives of members don't really want you there on the loose.

Don't blame Men for the policy, blame the wives of those men.

That is a stone cold fact!

hahah! I'm a DUDE! That's why I wouldn't want him to help me. I mean, the guy has flames all over him.

Too butch for the Ladies of the Royal Purple? or is that just a Canada thing?

[Cobra64]

No, but can I ask what you're doing for dinner Friday?

Only if you're a young attractive female blonde. LOL

If she were 25, hot and wore skimpy clothing in the summer, the Elks might have voted differently.

[Badray]

All good questions.

And why would she want to be associated with a group of men that she finds so dispicable?

[HungarianGypsy]

Which is why I couldn't understand why this other guy would want to change his plumbing. He could just be a really sensitive guy who understood women's feelings. LOL!

On the other hand, there already is a "Moose Club" in her area. She looks more like a moose than an elk. She also may try to become an Eagle but she would never got off the ground there.

I think your Lion

Pardon me, I thought you were a female who felt funny about being waited on by a GUY in a fabric shop.

I spent 23 years working in the unformed staff of NY State prisons. When I'd see an inmate with a hole in his pants or his shirt had buttons missing, I'd tell them to get them fixed. When they complained they didn't know how to sew, I'd tell them to find some homo on their unit to do it for them.

(Or are you a Moose Lodge Gal? I can't remember...)

Yup - I'm a Moose gal (Women of the Moose to be exact) and just got home from my weekly volunteer time down at the Lodge.

I think this woman is a loon. It's a private organization, if they don't want her as a member, why would she want to be a member? All she needs to do is find another organization, or other Elks Lodge to join. SHEESH........people like this drive me nutso.

[fish hawk]

You don't suppose she belongs to the "Mile High Club"?

[clamper1797]

Maybe the mile wide club
