Cool, 2 more replies.

Okay, Fawn: Yeah, that's where I was getting at. Some are so long that it discourages me from thinking I'll ever catch up. But maybe I don't need to catch up. As much as I'd like to hit the ground running, I'll have to live with hitting the ground at a jog. But if this place is where one bears their character, as you will gather maybe from just my posts, it bothers me that I'm not at the top of what I do. As if it were a competition to know the intricacies of what percentages of people will be serious posters and who's just trying to stir the pot and see where it goes. Take for example one thread where supposedly MVP introduces himself. He points to this other LONG thread where he basically talks about getting girls through body language and portrayal of confidence. (one thread I had many opinions on, but I wasn't posting at the time and I think it was even closed by the time I was reading it). So even though I don't agree with everything he says, I don't disagree with everything either and he's scoring some points in having his opinion and defending it. Then later he goes and looses all those points by bragging about his post being the all time longest and most viewed or whatever. Then it's like his credibility is shot. It makes it seem, to me, as if he was never passionate about what he's writing about..he's just trying to stir the pot for personal accolades. But I did notice what you and squirley mentioned about lots of very young sounding teens seeking sexual advice. My opinion on that one is that, while some may be serious cases, a good percentage of them are just seeking more people to fess up to their experiences so as to get off on believing other 14 year olds talking about their sexual experiences. I question the credibility of both, the these thread starters and the repliers. They may all be 40 year old men lying to one another about age and gender, but with the shadow of doubt they may still find it sexy. You never know, I guess. But it's cool when one of you gets in and sets things straight with some real feedback. I guess you're the reason I've jumped aboard. The squirleys, the fawns, janes, innovas, sometimes billyGean (or something), and others I probably left out. I think I can fit in with you and add one more to the ranks. When I set my mind to be consistent on something, I am good about keeping to it. So I'm looking forward to this. As far as your profile, I took a look. Canada, eh? I came close to going to Toronto (being in Buffalo) but since I was alone and it was my first time visiting the area I didn't want to risk missing my flight back and instead I killed 3 hours in the airport doing nothing. D'oh. But I gotta go to Canada. It's one of my favorite places I haven't visited. On paper you look awsome. A peaceful people. Peace rules. And I am a regular reader of "For better or for Worse". So where in Canada??

Jane..well, I don't want to be redundant so I'll just say a bunch of the above applies to you, as I mentioned. You're one of the high scorers in my book, and it'll be fun to get to know you too. I think that what attracts me about you bunch is the consistency you show. I have said it again and again, but I am that way too and I guess it's not as common as I would like it to be. People lie without a thought to it, and they say things they don't mean. I'm one to do as I say and say as I do. I guess unfairness is one of my pet peeves and while I understand that the world is not fair, I still can't comprehend how and why if I can do it, others cannot. Maybe it's just how I've been brought up and how I've listened to my Mom and obeyed without question for a very long time. It definitely leaves one with some good habbits, even if you later decide that not EVERYTHING Mom told you is the only way to go. Kids listen to your mothers! But that's that about the whole loyalty/sincerety/consistency thing. I hope that in you people I'll find reciprocated loyalty, especially if stronger bonds develop, meaning keeping up with each other outside of the site, as in regular emails and the such. So Jane, San Diego, eh? Lucky you. I was born in L.A. hence I'm a hardcore Laker fan. But right now I don't want to discuss the Lakers and above all the General Manager who really did a number on the team this off season. But on the issue of Mexico. Yeah, technically you're 10 min from Mexico..but a border city with the US is a really bad face of Mexico...not at all representative of my beloved Mexico. It's easy to see why...while immigrants from everywhere are trying to get into the US, Latin America uses Mexican borders with the US...and since not everyone makes it all the way across the bottleneck that are the Mexican border cities, these poor cities end up with a lot of the backwash and these people aren't exactly the high class doctors and lawyers that were making it okay in their own country..so the crime rises and the city takes one in the chin. But as all cities, it's not all good and not all bad. Actually Tijuana and my border city Juarez (bordering El Paso, Texas) are pretty comparable. But if you want to check out what it's like a little deeper into the heart of the North of Mexico (Mexico has 2 main divisions: Northerners and Southerners...then there's the people from Mexico City which are a class of their own...just kidding, that's just a stereotype, but it comes up often..) we can do that some time.

So I'll be good about keeping up, you'll see.

Well, time for bed. Maybe tomorrow there will be more to respond to.
