Her, I don't ogle; the other, I feel free to do so       (I'm discreet, of course-- I'm not a pig)              Of I were single, in a mibgling place, I'd let women I'm interested in know        that I am. & compolmenmt them on their provocative & appealing attire.              If I don't appeal to her, I'll know in seconds, & proceed elsewhere, & elseher.              If she's rude aout it, I'll feel free to respond in kind, depending on mood.              My responses tebnd to be of a higher intellectual quality, though, & are        reasoned out to fully meet her rudeness head on, in detail.              But usually I wouldn't. I'd wish her well on her evening's searches, & move       on. . .              Plenty of fish in the sea & I'm just the worm to catch one!              Well, now I got one, so I'm thankfuly out of the games now. . .               I feel bad for those who are still seeking, though.. .              I've solved the problem men here hasve in finding a mate, with a guaranteed 3-       step process to attract a wife:              1. Be heterosexual       2. don't live with parents (or ex, natch) 3. have a job (even 2 hours a week,       shows you have potential)              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 80/1 90/1 92/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 134/100 153/105 135 141       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 267/67 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 301/1       SEEN-BY: 301/113 123 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
