(And it seems "the wrong way" changes       > everyday.              Yup; true story: s guy was charged with assault, because he, as a form of        flirting, whistled at a girl & she called the cops.              The facts were laod out: it was the first & only time hje had one so (if       she'd requested he stop, yet he continued, she might feel threatened then, by       his unwilingness rto respect her clearly communicated boundaries) & I have no       beef with that, should a court find it to be such.              > In nature wildly coloured animals (feathers, markings, etc) mean they are       > dangerous and stay away. Like some groups of people today. At least some       > of them give warnings.              People(Loony lefties, as opposed to normal ones) sya it's unfair to       snap-judge a concern for young people dressed a certain way, with tattoos &       piercings.              I don't act on it, but I certainly do have a bit more concern for them than       for the Mormons walking towards me in their shiny shirts & pants!              The guys who asre all about putting ntches on their bed post should be aware        that some women might just change their mind after the seduction has been        agreed to & begun, & have him charged with rape.              My advice is to get to know a lady first, so you can have a certain amount of        trust in her not to be a jackass game-player.              One comic's answer to women who complain about guys judging their       skimpy/wanton clothing was to ask if it'd be reasonable to expect help from       someone in a cop uniform? What if he was not a copy,. but jusdt wearing the       uniform of one?              "Okay, I'll stipulate you're not necessarily a slut, but you are certainly        wearing the uniform of one!" (the audience, men & women alike, roared!)              >>To ALL: What;'s been your experience with changing mores relating to dating &       > relationships?       > I've been out of the dating scene for years and no intention to start       > again. So other than the above, I have no comment at this tie. :)              Same, but I remember enough. If U were to be vback in it'd be as a widow, &       I'm given tyo understand things are easier for such than for the younguns       coming out of college, or still in.              Seriously, I signed up for a dating site a ways back & I entered my info &       was directed straight to the Seniors' Page! (for 40+); I was 39!              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305 330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 134/100 138/146 153/105 135 141 757 7715 221/6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/67 275/100 1000 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/1       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 7715 229/426           |
