His saintly mother? That man is never going to get a date if under his "turn-ons" he says anything having to do with his mother.
Which is probably why he is still single.

I think he's subscribing to the theory that it's better to get the weird stuff out of the way early on. Otherwise, after a couple of nice dates, his Oedipus complex manifests, she freaks out, and he's all alone again. Saves time and money.

This is the type of reasoning that makes people ask their date to pee on them on the first date.

I think it's the old quantity/quality thing again. Or dependability/quality. Whatever.

Is it time to go come yet?

Sounds like Norman Bates.

It might be easier to forgive his potential inability to take my side against his mother's in any disagreement than the Calphalon cookware. Indeed, harumph, as if, etc. etc. etc.

We need a book to explain this? Or is this one of those books you give to a less-than-skillful but willing lover to avoid an awkward conversation?

But I'm grateful for the explanatory "nobody's ever experienced both."

That man is trying too hard with the sucked-in cheek look. Sieht nach Dieter (NTTAWWT).

I quite enjoyed last night's episode. I still haven't figured out which team to root for. After the first episode, I was a fan of the Grandma, but she has some annoying moments. I think my favorite so far is the dating couple with the woman with blonde hair (Kristy?)*. Except that they seem to get along so well, that it is sort of boring to watch them.

spoiler stuff:

Why did the dating couple that I like let the other couple (with the sorta bitchy dark haired chick) beat them to the mat without even a race for it? Was that a tactical move for later in the race or what? They had to know some sort of prize was at stake. I was seriously disappointed to see the Utah girls leave. They seemed like an all-woman team that wouldn't have been beaten out on physical challenges by the men , so it was sad to see them screwed on the hay challenge.

*do all the men in the dating couples (other than the short satan spawn dude, of course) look exactly alike or is it just me? I can't remember any of their names and I have to see which girl they are with in order to distinguish them at all.

Honestly, though, Calphalon cookware?

I think he's done a lot of market research on women who think (a) they are tres sophisticated w/their Calphalon, not realizing they are stuck in the 80s and (b) they are the one woman who can wean him away from his mother.

Hmmm... his actual entry is different than the synopsis, and it might bring him back into the running for ncs:

Quote:

my laptop, a set of well-cared for Calphalon cookware, Ab-Toner, a cellar full of Montrachet, and my saintly mother (not an item, but I couldn't live without her)

ETA, and this detail may be important too:

I know a gay couple with an 8000 square foot house. A good portion of it is reserved for their mothers, who do not live with them.

People who want to please their partners and are ever looking for ways to improve themselves? Guys who manage to produce intense orgasms get more action, in my experience. Or, more action from me.

This isn't real. $10 says this guy stole the image from a Gillette ad. In two seconds a woman walks up from behind him and strokes his (sucked in) cheeks lovingly, then walks offstage to collect her per diem.

And people who really like reading about sex. One of my favorite books is Sexy Origins and Intimate Things: The Rites and Rituals of Straights, Gays, Bi'S, Drags, Trans, Virgins, and Others by Charles Panati. I nearly asked Jason Pristley about his penis in the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas because of this book.

I've heard good things about A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David M. Friedman.

He's gay, and I think the females were concentrating more on the description than the picture. Weird that. OK, not actually weird at all.

ETA you can make it up to me by gifting me with one of the books RT linked to. Sound interesting, and would fulfill my self-imposed non-fiction requirement for at least a month or so.

I'm sorry. I can't hear you. Something seems to have swallowed up the substance of your posts. Shame, too, since I'm told by Atticus that they're funny.

Are you that guy who has a kick-ass stereo in his '93 Ford Tempo? "Yeah, but the sound rocks!"

Nevertheless, I once went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. I don't really care about the hockey, but the fight was awesome.
