I don't understand what you are saying. Who is they? The article I read said a little girl (from CA) who played for a boys team in Windsor was beat up by her dad (also from CA, not that that has anything to do with anything). Nothing about the team not wanting her to play.

I was attempting to make a joke -- i.e. that Canadians are purists about their hockey and that no one anywhere wants Californians moving in on them -- much less Californian hockey dads. Obviously my lame attempt fell flatter than LFB's breasticles. Oh well, back to my "How to Tell a Joke" correspondence course.

If you are in bed with someone really good looking (really good looking, not just cute) and that person's technique is not all that good, do they get a pass just because they are devastatingly beautiful/handsome? Or would you criticize them to your friends just as much when they are gone as you would someone not so good looking and equally lame in bed?

THey do not get a pass. In fact, they are judged even more harshly due to the fact that their extreme good-looking-ness should have affoded them more opportunity to hone their technique.

Being bad in bed is inexcusable. No one is safe from the friend critique...

I am looking forward to this, and I have not followed previous Survivors. I think it's because the cast includes a gravedigger and a mortician. This sounds promising.

Once upon a time I worked in a battered women's shelter, and one of the women I worked with had a crazy ex who happened to be in law enforcment. Every time she tried to move elsewhere, the guy would put out a search for her and he'd track her down within a month, bring her home, and beat the shit out of her. The woman was a mortician by trade, but she was pretty sure that she'd have to give that up because he'd just end up tracking her through the licensure process.

Anyhow, she was asking me about her options, and since he was pretty persistant, she was thinking about trying to change her identity so he couldn't track her down. I couldn't really advise her on anything other than the legal aspects of changing her name and restraining orders. While I was explaining the name change process, she blurted out "I know a lot of dead people and their information and stuff, can we use any of that?" I told her that we couldn't use someone else's information, and continued with my little lecture on the name change process. She left a few days later, and I have no idea what happened to her. I wouldn't be surprised if one of her former clients had a miraculous recovery.

A dull fuck is a dull fuck. I might be willing to devote more resources to training with someone really good looking, though.

Would you rather have your star pitcher throw a 95 mile an hour fast ball that he can't get over the plate or a 80 something change up that he can place just where he wants it? (Because every good sex question deserves a sports metaphor).

The ones who waste a natural talent are a tragedy. The ones who do the most with what they are given deserve praise (and to be called on to pitch a few more games).

It is only fair to criticize them more, since their good looks created false expectations. And because you are entitled to SOME fun out of the deal.

Now most of my baseball knowledge was gained on the day Darryl Strawberry played for the Springfield Isotopes, but I think I get your drift. (However I think your use of apostrophes might cause a few timmies on the board to implode. Might I suggest the "edit" function).

I don't think so. If you've slept with a REALLY hot girl, and your buddies say "man you're lucky -- I'd love to fuck her", the normal response is "trust me - nothing to write home to mom about - she was a terrible lay"...In fact I've heard this quite frequently.

Unfortunately you really can never tell. Mild-mannered Susie could be a fuck-beast, while drinking, smoking hot Tara could lay there like a stiff board...

In fact, it's usually the cute but not uber-hot girls that absolutely go ape-shit in the sack.

I am going to guess that pretty much everyone is going to say that they'd not get a pass, but they'd actually invite the person back to bed because he or she is so fucking hot. I mean, don't we all get that much more excited to fuck someone because we're really, really attracted to them? Attractiveness adds to the whole thing, otherwise we'd be asking for references instead of just trying to jump the bones of the hotties that we see. Sure, if nothing improves after a few tries, and you're getting bored, we'll be more willing to move on, but I'm pretty sure that the hotties that aren't any good in bed, in general, get more time to try out than the non-hotties. (Note: non-hotties doesn't mean unattractive, just not in that 0.01 percent).

The ones indeed.

Thanks, RP and fringey for passing this OCD on to me.

No guy* walks on a really beautiful women because she's too passive, uncreative etc, at least not for a few months. This is because of to the whole question of what is "good" from a guy's perspective. See monolouge on subject in Clerks.

*Except for largely hypothetical people or stars who have a revolving door of the really beautiful.

The car companies are cracking down on this practice, but in general I bet leased cars still have lower actual costs than purchased cars due to the ignore factor.

Did you just pull this out of your ass, or do you base this on personal experience?

I, for one, keep my cars in impeccable condition. I will not be seen driving a rat. Maintenance is usually included (free oil changes, inspections, etc.). I even wax said leased car and condition the leather.
They inspect the car when you turn it in - they don't, however, check to see wheter you've kept proper inflation. But they do check for "undue wear." Not to be confused with underwear.
All maintenance is tracked in the computer, FYI.

There are as many people who ignore maintenance on their "purchased" cars - check any used car lot.

Why criticize? If you didn't like it, don't go back.

I was wondering this. I don't tend to criticize my bed partners' abilities to other people for the most part.

I also will normally give someone several chances. The first time is awkward enough.

But no, no one gets a pass for being beautiful. No more than she would get a pass for being beautiful but an asshole or vapid. I wouldn't be interested.

Good point. But people tend to talk about this stuff even if they don't go back.
