Wonk,

I can see how from your perspective that statement seems outrageously coarse.

First, keep in mind that I often post fast, and sometimes the words just rip from the fingers with abandon. I used to think about editing myself, but that ain't me. Clearly, I can't anticipate all the possible maladies of those who may read what I write. If I offended you, please understand, it was not personal, and I certainly wish you only the very speediest of recovery. I cna't really fathom what its like to have to deal with your situation. I've no doubt you've a depth of character far beyond that of a cat as lucky as I in respect to health. Fuck... that was a wordy mea culpa...

That said, I probably won't eat those words someday. I offer no quarter to those of perfect health who become unsightly. I am rEdiculously undisciplined and will probably suffer early liver disease for it, but I think the base line for everyone should be to keep themselves in respectable shape. You don't have to be Naomi Campbell or Brad Pitt, but draw the goddamn line. I've been to Europe. I don't see lardarse mommies abound or huge beer guts everywhere. We eat too goddamn much and sit on our asses too much.

Me, I'm that obsessed with staying respectable looking that yes, if need be, I will have the fat sucked out of me.

S(I have fat family members... and I've had a phobia of looking like them since I was a little kid)D

Seb,

I think that keeping in shape is great. I do what I can to keep myself in the best shape I can. But I venture to guess that once you and Mrs. Seb start having sprogs, you'll find the appearance/risking your life for lipo calculus may change a bit.

I am also a bit worried about a world where Liv Tyler is deemed a plus-sized model and Courthey Thorne-Smith is hounded off of Ally McBeal for refusing to turn into a popsicle stick.

Call me crazy, but I think <<serena>>'s pretty and has a beautiful smile. She is a ... um, powerful woman, but I don't think that means she can't be considered pretty.

I agree serena's pretty. She's not that powerful though. There was this woman in my college that played soccer and bench 300. She was powerful.

In women, development of masculine characteristics, such as decreased body fat and breast size, deepening of the voice, excessive growth of body hair and loss of scalp hair, severe acne and stunting of bone growth, along with all the emotional stuff, too.

All of which is clearly evident in this picture:



And while I do think she is attractive, she is a tad to muscular for my taste:

While all men are not simple creatures motivated soley by their Id, you, my dear, despite your protestations, are. And there is an ample abundance of evidence to support my position littered throughout these boards.

Your posts here indicate that your entire life is nothing more than one big parasympathetic discharge.

You are an admitted 40 plus woman

I have never stated that nor have I given a clear indication of my age other than to say I was older than another poster who claimed to be 30.

trawling a chat board for sexual self esteem.

It amuses me to no end when the regular posters on this board attack each other for posting here. Leagle and Ty and the others with the largest numbers of posts must be real losers IRL then according to your rule of thumb for spotting those with low self-esteem.

Originally posted by sebastian_dangerfield you intentionally did so to intimate that I'm sexist.

I don't have to intimate anything about you, Sebby. Your posts out you all by themselves.

Why thank you JFF. I appreciate you using the site I am running both to insult me and as the reason to do so.

I take it that was a joke. If anyone is insulting anyone it is Seb. I was just noting the irony that someone who posts on this board would criticize another poster for posting here. Then I was pointing out the ludicrous nature of his remark by noting that according to Seb's method of detecting who has low self-esteem, those who post here the most must be losers IRL.

Talk to Seb if you think you have been criticized, because by implication, that is what he was doing.

It was a commentary on your apparent lack of understanding of the dynamics of this site, as I have mentioned before, as much as anything.

Unless of course you simply like all the bitching and moaning, in which case you understand it perfectly.

If I may be serious for a moment, it is a mistake to think you can knowwhat someone is really like based upon how he or she presents himself on the boards.

For example all I have heard tells me (and you will forgive me SD) that SD is a pretty good guy. I wouldn't mind meeting up with him for a cup of coffee next time I am in his neck of the woods. I imagine we would probably have a good conversation and a lot of laughs.

You call Slave by the nickname rapist wannabe or whatever it was. Slave is one of the nicest, kindest people I know. The thought he would harm a woman is laughable and when you call him that I find it vile.

We see here only what people want us to see. Frequently it is just an act, sometimes it is a facet of the person. But no one who only knows me, for example, here, could begin to say they know what I am really like.

I wouldn't begin to judge you off board if I met you and knew who you were, by what you say on here.

I would wonder why you feel the need to present yourself the way you do, but I would give you the benefit of the doubt.

I understand the dynamics of this site completely. What you don't like is that I don't conform to your dynamics. You don't have to participate in the dynamics here to understand them. We all post here for different reasons. If anyone doesn't understand something it is you. You are baffled by my presence here and attribute it to some failing on my part.

You will get no quarrel from me on that one. I find myself repeatedly giggling at other posters' attempts to figure out who I am IRL.

As I and others have noted, the fact that you can act in ways here that you cannot IRL is a big draw for many of us.

That seems to contradict your statement that "it is a mistake to think you can knowwhat [sic] someone is really like based upon how he or she presents himself on the boards."

If his postings are anything like he is IRL, he seems pretty base to me.

Originally posted by leagleaze You call Slave by the nickname rapist wannabe or whatever it was. Slave is one of the nicest, kindest people I know. The thought he would harm a woman is laughable and when you call him that I find it vile.

I find it vile that a man fantasizes about shoving his cock in a women's mouth against her will to shut her up. That is fantasizing about commiting an act of violence of a sexual nature against a women. Men who envison themselves doing that to women are disturbed and in need of professional help so that they don't ever act on their fantasies.

I know if you are anything like who you present yourself to be, you find those types of fantasies vile, too. It is just that Slave helped you with these boards and so you won't admit that. Your motivation in defending him is transparent.

I don't and have never said anything that disagrees with that statement. Somewhere in Slave's mind is this notion that a sex act is to be used in an aggressive and violent manner against a women's will to shut her up. And for some reason, he wanted us all to see that.

Feel free to judge me in virtual life or IRL. I could care less.

Feel free to turn this board all about me, again, too. The politics board is dead today. I am happy to be here. It is paigow that is unhappy to have me here. She can't stand that the board is so taken with me.

And where are you? You are about as intelligent as Seb is when he criticizes me for posting here.

I am, however, getting ready to go for a run. Gotta keep the gluts toned. Its a beautiful day here in the sunny People's Republic of CA.
