Congrats, Gud!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations, Gud!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats, Gud! That's a tight turnaround!
I often compliment women on their smarts. Or if a woman wore something sexy to please me, I'll tell her how great it looks on her.
Nope, not really usually even on my smarts. I mean, you can think I'm smart, and let that be known through deed and word, but saying, "ita, you're an intelligent woman and I'm enjoying these deep discussions with you..." and I'll get all retchy retchy. And if a guy thought I dressed to please him, he better not let me know he's thinking that. I dressed to please me. I let him see me. Even though it's a date, that's the air I'm walking in with.
You see the problem?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay, Gud!
Finding the discussion fascinating, and as usual, grateful we can talk about these sorts of things here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"ita, you're an intelligent woman and I'm enjoying these deep discussions with you..."
Yeah, it would sound weird to say that. If I compliment a woman on her smarts it'd be in reference to some specific thing she said or did.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Good job, Gud! I hope it's the place that was convenient and interesting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I always complimented women that I was courting, but always used it as a way to say, "I now what you value." Usually personal style, though with ita I would've said, "You have a thoroughly geeky and well considered collection of blades."

Sexytimes: Wow, y'all are parsing it rather fine. Whatever happened to Sifu Jesse's wise words, "Different people like different shit"?
Wow, we all just like to talk a lot. About everything. Please to not marginalize someone's -- and I mean *my* -- sexuality by dismissing it as "parsing it rather fine" and "different people like different shit."
We talk. A lot. About things on which people differ. If we summed everything up as "different people like different shit," we wouldn't need this message board.
