I see how that's a logical assumption, but I actually didn't mean you specifically. If anything you're the one woman who's posted more than once that's accepted the validity of multiple viewpoints.

It's all about context. I'll bet that I've posted the equivalent of "nice pics" in one of your threads even if I haven't used those exact words. And I have no intention of ever inserting my penis into your vagina, regardless of your thoughts on the act. When I've posted "nice pics" it's because I enjoyed the pictures. Typically, I'll elaborate and say why, but not always. But that's because I'm a wordy bastad. Oh, and I have some matters.

But if you simply cannot accept that what is goofy and innocent to you can, at times, be experienced differently by women then I think you're being ridiculous. Maybe even "hysterical."

When you post thing about "men" without any qualifiers, it appears that you're talking about all of us. Which is why I've tried to modify my statements when possible to make it clear that I'm talking about a subset of whichever gender.
But I do get the greater point you're making.

Blast from the past. I may go find that thread later today just for shits n giggles.

The logical implication is that simply by my gender and sexual preferrence, I'm guilty.

And if a woman hasn't been skilled at this by a certain age, then I haven't met her.

My point was that maybe you're wrong sometimes. You're probably right, but maybe not.

Sorry, fellas, but sometimes you're just not at the top of the list of things I have undying patience for. It doesn't mean I don't like you. Chin up and all that.

I still don't get where the trying makes a guy "bad". You're not interested. Question asked and answered. Any interaction beyond that? No. Ok then.
Wait, that seems entirely too reasonable for this thread.

You're opinion of my imagination is entirely too low.
