When it rains, it POURS

I have exactly the same problem with what I laughingly call my bank account.

The moment one of my clients actually pays me some money (they are not very good at that) everybody wants to send me their bills, the car throws its teddy out of the pram and I can't get a decent hotel at a decent price in order to have just a tiny bit of fun.

This is the fickle finger of fate, but what the heck. Take it as a compliment EG!! xxx

we have discussed this already EG, men are weird and women are from venusimg src="imagesadultemoticons014.gif" btw, u r looking especially hot tonite, have u had your hair done or something lol

Inundated to be sure, but there is only one I want.......sigh. Life continues its mysterious ways.

It IS too strange though how all these ghosts from the past reappeared all at once.

Oddly, early Feb is also turning out to be somewhat congested for me. In addition, I've just had a very nice offer from someone tasty, but as luck would have it, a winter storm has descended and it looks as though I'll need a snow plough to get into Tokyo :-(

I suppose it's known as Sod's Law.

However, it could be something to do with male herding behaviour. Even if a bloke has not actually met women on this site, I think he makes a mental note of "likely prospects" and sort of corrals them into a little pen (perhaps his Hotlist or (so-called) "Friends" box) for future reference.

Then out of sheer idleness, or perhaps bemused by other possible additions to his herd, he neglects to keep tabs on his little corral. Later, to his alarm, he discovers that one or several of his heifers are getting restless and attracting the attention of another bull. At which point the male resumes his territorial display and tries to regain the attention of the distracted heifer :-) See? It's quite simple when explained in terms of animal behaviour :-)

I've yet to find any woman who is as weird as me :-)

So just how weird are you Skebbie? I'm sure I could give you a run for your money in the weird department.

Are you referring to "weird perverted", "weird psychotic" or "weird eccentric"? I don't think I'm the middle one, but I suppose everything is relative.

Curvy: I must admit that breasts are indeed very distracting, but I think this has been covered on another blog (they're "fake backsides" if you remember.......)
:-) (Back to animal behaviour..........)

Ah ... finding that perverted phychotic with a touch of eccentricity.

The possibilities are endless ;-)

Re: "courting" :-)
Yes I agree it's such a cute term you never hear these days.

"Seeing" is another.
In a film I saw once, someone made the facetious remark "seeing the arse off her".....which I thought was rather amusing.

"I think it is reasonable to assume that there is a bit of courting going on ..."


So how does a guy court a woman on a sex site? Just curious so I know what to look out for ...

Lowers eyes and blushes ... Why thank you Mac, that's very kind of you to say so.

Can I ask a personal question: Does your paint brush have natural hair?

"So how does a guy court a woman on a sex site?"

He sends her a woodblock print showing a massive todger.

Anti-asterisk version:

He sends her a woodblock print showing a massive todger.


:-)

Obviously there's something between "woody" and "todger" that's indigestible :-)

Skebbie, not sure why, but those three comments made me giggle. When the ***** disappear. people will wonder why.
Gotta luv the blog monster ;-)

Ok being hopeless at crosswordsscrabble etc I may not be best placed to have a stab at Skebbies missing letters, but here goes with some wild guesses:

stinger
swinger
integer
plunger
sponger
clanger
whanger (not sure if that's a real word though)
flanger


There may be others. Feel free to wow me with your lexicon!

Bugger!!!

todger

Ha-ha....!!!

Bigger!!

That is why its better to have at least three at your beck and call

I've been monstered!! What did I say?

Noel.....I agree....only a few are worth it :) In this case, one.

No, I don't keep a few on reserve....yes, I have a lot of friends, and true, I tend to flirt just a tiny bit. But I try to make it clear what I want and where I'm at in terms of others.

Which leads to an interesting point, maybe another blog? At what point do you say, sorry, I am chatting with you about sex and fun and run of the mill daily crap, but THIS OTHER ONE is the one I'm really set on? At what point is it just fun chat with others rather than keeping a few pokers in the fire?

EG: I think that's the fundamental difference between men and women. Men are wired for maximizing their opportunities and women always like to feel they have someone special. I freely admit I have a policy of keeping irons in the fire: in fact you could say I'm a blacksmith :-) I don't think it's particularly deceptive (after all, I've just admitted it in the public domain :-) or dishonest: more to do with ensuring my sexual survival as I plough on further into middle age. At this point in my life, if I invested, say, 5 years with one woman, and then things didn't work out, the chances of me finding another when I'm on statins and suffering from a leaky prostate would be pretty minimal :-)

Skebbie, too funny. But yes, there is that INTEREST in others, I admit, that will never leave, at least not for some of us (I find it hard to believe that some find a soulmate and never look elsewhere, personally, as I've never even come close to that).

But do you actively "work" several at once? And is it leading them on to think that they may be The One? I suppose it all depends on the people involved, where and how you met and expectations from the beginning.
