Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You are so right msbelle. That's exactly what it means.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What does "cis" mean?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's when your body and your gender match, I believe -- assuming that isn't an offensive way of putting it.

Punishingly Intricate

any statement like that "real man", "not a jerk", "no games", "no drama" - it means this: There are these other people I dated that I didn't end up liking, or they broke my heart - don't be like them.

Exactly!! It also means the person is maybe not a terribly original thinker or a particularly good writer and that may be a reason to not respond to them. I know I wouldn't have.

I see a lot of requests from men that state that they "don't want any drama" and "no games."

I think that may mean straightforward and not doing things like: I want you to do X but I tell you not to do X because if you really care about me you'll do X anyhow. If you don't do X I'm going to be really pissed at you, but not tell you why.

I think they(we) are happy with the gender we were born into, so I am a ciswoman.(Smile when you say that, stranger.) I think.

I am sure it is not what they mean, but like my life would be WAY too much drama for a lot of people who would say something like that. It's real life and it's messy.

Lots of people wouldn't consider starting to date someone who:

has a child
is going through a divorce
has an ill parent
has a needy sibling/cousin/friend
is in recovery

it's like Robin said about looking at the list before the person.

Hmmm.... I'm not all that cis. I think I'm pretty androgynous. I mean, when I sense someone expects me to play the "male" role it really rubs me the wrong way.

Which way would you like them to rub you?

Oh, you know what else "real man" could mean? "You can keep a job and not be a low down dirty lazy sob, like that cowturd I just left."
