      TID: PX/Win v3.0pr5 PX96-0466M2       MSGID: 1:135/392 270fa714       TZUTC: -0500        CP wrote --              > Yup; true story: s guy was charged with assault, because he, as a form of       flirting, whistled at a girl & she called the cops.               That is often common today.        Women, in general, like to be wooed, whether they admit it not, and like       to be chased (and not always chaste). A guy is told no means no, and after       being told no once to stop, then the woman wonders why they are never asked       out again by the guy.              > 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.               And often they are first to judge someone else by their appearance.        I try to judge others by "the content of their character" but often times       their mere appearance is a big hurdle to get over.              > 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!               Agreed.        In my job I run into all sorts and conditions of people (the way they       dress, etc.) and have to see the person inside all that.        Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong.        Years ago the university was having some fund raiser and people giving       big bucks.        The then president had a scheme if someone gave Marshall some big bucks       they had their name inscribed on a brick which was placed in a certain area       on campus.        One time was such a ceremony and I doing traffic control. I had a list       of people who who allowed to park in a certain area.        People drove up in Cadillac's, Mercedes, Lexuses, etc. I would ask the       name, check the list and let them in.        This one fella drove up in a beat up old Chevy Lumnia, rumpled clothes       and so forth. My first thought he wasn't getting on that lot.        I politely asked his name and found out he was the one who gave several       million dollars and was the guest of honour.               > that some women might just change their mind after the seduction has been       agreed to & begun, & have him charged with rape.               That is often common.        We had a girl on campus who claimed this other student had raped her.        A police investigation was done and from the security camera video it       never happened when and where she said it did. Neither person was seen at that       and other locations.        She eventually confesses she was mad at him about something and so       accused him of rape. If not for a video record his life would have been       ruined.               > 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.               Absolutely.              > "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!)                Also very true.               > 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!                when I was in my mid 60s I was helping parking's handyman work on the       pay lot machine. I'll call him Noah, (since that was his name), who was a       older John Candy type. He was about my age.        With us was one of my minions named Chase in his early 20s.        Noah liked to look at the young ladies and make comments.         I said I didn't pay them much mind, they were young enough to be by       granddaughter. Then added, "Now some hot young mama around 50 might get my       attention" and Chase thought that was hilarious. At his age anyone over 40 was       OLD.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 30/0 50/109 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 116/116 120/340 123/0 25 115 126 131 160 180 200       SEEN-BY: 123/755 129/305 330 331 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385       SEEN-BY: 135/388 390 391 392 153/7715 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 222/2       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/1120 5832 250/1 261/1466 266/512 275/1000 280/464       SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200 396/45 460/58 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1321 712/848 920/1 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 5000/111       SEEN-BY: 5001/100 5005/49 5019/40 5020/715 846 1042 2047 4441 5054/8       SEEN-BY: 5058/104 5064/56 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 5020/1042 301/1 229/426           |
