[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I had the same thought, Teppy. Also, your introductory paragraph might be less apologetic. You really are a kind, successful and funny guy and that should be upfront.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

e-o, I thought that when we met at Pambiche this summer, you still lived up the block from there. That's why I was confused! Or maybe this summer has just gone by so fast that your definition of "not recently" and mine are different. I guess it's actually been a little while since I've been there. Time flies when you eat the same quiche every day for lunch.

Very pretty room, Aims!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And I fully believe that everyone should seek the type of person they're interested in. But that specification seems like it might rule out a large portion of women reading your profile.

To me, it reads as "only interested in something that leads to threesomes or else."

Even as a bi girl, I wouldn't respond because I get skeeved by boys who want to date me because they think I'll always be thumbs up about bringing other girls into bed. I don't want to even tell them I've dated girls much less wanting to go on a date with that guy. It's a personal thing, of course.

But, like Tep said, people need to seek the kind of person they are interested in certainly.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

To me, it reads as "only interested in something that leads to threesomes or else."

That's how I would read it too, honestly, if I were a stranger. It might be the vastly wrong assumption, but, frankly, that's pretty much the rep that bisexual women have with people who don't know better.

And a stranger reading a dating site profile won't have a clue whether you're someone who is hip to what bisexual really looks like, or whether you're a douchebag looking for a threesome.

But, like Tep said, people need to seek the kind of person they are interested in certainly.

And if you aren't interested in straight women, that's how you roll. But it definitely turns it into a numbers game.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Omnis, I apologize if this comes off wrong, but in looking at your profile, it says you're looking for "Bi girls only."
Ack! Yikes. That's not what I wanted. This is what happens when you edit your profile at night. Thanks for that. Not looking for 3somes. I'd be lost.

Also, your introductory paragraph might be less apologetic. You really are a kind, successful and funny guy and that should be upfront.
Ha! Yes. Spontaneous funny, but written? And talking about myself? nsm. But I did edit it. And added in 'first thing notice' section about the crutches.

Thanks for the feedback! (I'll be in the corner blushing now)

Sigh. I did not need another celebrity crush.
