wow--this is great. i don't even have to get on my religious tirade soap box. y'all covered that nicely.

no wonder you "ladies" have dating problems i don't have any dating problems at all.

there's no little smilie with ropes or climbing. i'm not sure we can have a complete picture of the evening. i mean there will definitely be ropes used right? it's not soloing it's a date!

no he's not. he's on his way back to the store for bread.

hey, aren't you married? marriage is the cure for drooling? And fucking? no i don't think it's a cure for that.

Whew, clears that right up. Wanna climb? only if this it's a date You're on!!! on top? now see there that's how it's done: 2X4 was used and now there's no confusion. when archenemy and i go climbing we're on a date.

Minx has to come too. awww thanks! nothing says fun like a menage a toi i absolutely promise that i will at least be in the vicinity of the little si pub club.

The prevailing "perceptive gay" stereotype is bunk. i'm sorry your boyfriend doesn't send you flowers when you're feeling blue. maybe if you just tell him you want to cuddle...

The stars are a direct measure of wit and intelligence...this thread has little of either.

guess that would work just as well nahhh...sniffing paint remover just makes you more stupid.

awwww! thanks for the boobies! especially the blue footed boobies. i think boobies look good in blue!

no dilemma...did he throw his coat over the puddle or not? not....then go semi go

oh i'd judge what he does. i guess that i don't place much value on traditional rituals such as door opening therefore those aren't the actions i'd judge. how does he speak to people? does he listen? is he interesting? is he thoughtful? some may argue that door opening is thoughtful but it's mostly mindless. did he offer up a glass of water w/o be asked b/c he noticed i had consumed all of mine since my food was spicey? i think it's more about the specific actions in specific situations that matter to me.

but the question is did you open the door for her before trying to kill her? archenemy-- i agree with you that if everyone had good manners it would solve a lot of problems in the world. however, i think that judging a date by societal "norms" or codifying anything rubs me the wrong way. judge your date for who he is. i guess if you need a traditional style guy, then you better insist he pull out your chair. personal choice.

my point is that it's not about the specific act. if you open doors for people b/c that's the way you do things i just think it's totally lame to judge a guy by a set of guidelines for chivalry that were established eons ago. there's plenty of ways a gentleman can be thoughtful, courteous, and make you feel like the center of the world w/o pulling out your chair. judge the book not the cover. btw--i'd like fries w/my happy meal. thanks

oh come on....door opening as a sign of chivalry? aren't there better ways for your date to make you feel feminine? uggh! it's nice if he does but if he doesn't can't you find other things he does to be just as "polite". chivalry is an art. the fine art of making you feel like the best person he's ever laid eyes upon. the specific act of opening a door or pulling out a chair doesn't mean the guy is chivalrous. it just means he was trained. it's one thing to expect to be treated well, it's another to judge that treatment by archaic, provincial old standards good grief! i'd be afraid to go on a date w/you. big-mac. sounds like marie's date didn't even bother to find out what she wanted for dinner before ordering. i don't care who orders the food but you better order what i want.

hmmm...this seems to be the crux of your problem! it's not a good sign when you like the fake better than real btw--i ride horse nearly every day and i can't say i find it particularly relaxing. now that said, i'm looking forward to some under the stars this weekend.

it's hard to post when you're tied up in a basement wait a minute....sheep can't type

the guy on top in the middle has quite the expression on his face.

no crying...I'm pretty sure she's a girl!! girls go ice climbing= chicks with p®icks perhaps archenemy is gender neutral.

it doesn't have to be on a tuesday. little si PC could be any night it's not raining

joke from my childhood: what's green and sings?-- elvis parsely

yes after dealing with the exact same thing, i can give you this advice. you're screwed. the king county sheriff that handled my case gave me the following bit of wisdom. there are so many cases of identity theft/car theft in the area that they could pretty much keep their entire staff busy full time on it.
