I vehemently applaud Cynnamin for her surprisingly frank, maybe emotional, but spot-on post.
YOU DA GIRL! So is Cecilia, whose comments have awed me with their inherent wisdom.
The weird thing is, unlike MyName who accuses Cyn of coming off as less than credible by overgeneralizing the male population as being stupid, egoistical, etc., I agree with that very sentiment largely. I'm a guy and sometimes I'm ashamed of those representing my own gender. Ladies have always been great to talk to for me... I *like* them because I connect with them more easily on some level than I do with *most* gentlemen. My wife is my best friend nowadays, and if you think she and I feel compelled to have a "normal sex life" and sleep with each other at least 3 times a week, think again
we like to keep that kind of thing something special, rather than routine. (Gosh I can't believe I just said that.)
Anyway, you know what else? In highschool I was a loner and I used to kinda hope I'd run into some nymphomaniac girl just so I could get some... heh... well I was bloody immature, I have to add... Well, as it turns out I never had a girlfriend before my wife, and the fact that she was/is my first/only one is nowadays a gift for which I'm grateful.
Hat off to Ratamahatta... what I said in my last post still stands.
To all others, guys and girls alike: if you still feel the urge to bang the hell out of somebody, please, sit down for a few afternoons and closely watch Jerry Springer on TV. I guarantee that at some point you'll just get sick of all the stupid people who fight over crap like "my best friend slept with my man" or "that ain't my baby, he don't look nuthin' like me" and all the broken lives that always remain at the end (I always feel sorry the most for the babies which are either unwanted or won't have a safe, good life). Maybe when you sadly shake your head and turn the TV off you'll think to yourself, "I don't have to let it come to that. When I have sex, it won't be under pressure or out of some obligation or even to blackmail someone. It'll be out of love and mutual respect for feelings, and it'll be under use of protection and taking responsibility."
Whew. Anyway, this is SX, let's get back to gaming shall we
