Would you relocate for love?
Listen, I’m a hopeless romantic as much as the next girl, but I don’t know how far I would go for love. For instance, could I move cross country? I just read one woman’s leap of faith that landed her across the country, without a job, or a place to live!
While it is easy to say that is something that could never happen to me, I actually admire the courage someone has to relocate. Taking a chance on love is already risky business! Would you be willing to rearrange your life and move to another city?
Things may not have worked out for the young lady, but at least she can say that she tried. That’s more than some of us ever do, really. What are you willing to risk for love?
Have you ever moved to another country or city to be with someone? Would you consider it at all?
Would you ask someone you were seeing to move with you? How serious would your relationship need to be, do you think?

Jake, when you mentioned guys dressing expeditiously, I thought about how some guys in the locker room at LAFit just walking around naked as hell as though they are on exhibit. Hey dude, this is room full of men, who are you trying to impress??

I’m not touchy feely with other chicks either…only to the menfolks and I was never that walk-around-buket-nekkid chick either. Even way back in the day when I took dance, I was very methodical about how I changed into my leotard or whatever. I’m sure every chick on this site has put a bra on and taken it off all while still having the shirt on. If you’re taking it off you simply remove the straps and unhook the clip and slide that sucka out of the side of the shirt and no boobies are exposed. lol

Exiled – Terry McMillan has no one to blame but herself for that mess. From day one all it took was one look at ole boy on tv for me to know what time it was. I’ve heard countless women & men say the same about him, straight & otherwise.
I hate to see any woman be THAT desperate!

Slim,
When I was in school, our dorms had community showers, I cannot recall not one instance in which two people were in that shower at the same time, it was just not going to happen, one at a time, make it quick, save a lil hot water…but if you walk in this mofo while I’m naked, I will be kickin your azz as soon as I dry off and get some Nike’s on.

Slim – Yep!!
And would you have it, the ONE time in hight school I got dressed in front of my gym locker instead of in one of the private dressing areas, I looked up and a chick was looking at me! I was late for gym & thought I was in there by myself. I said to myself “ain’t this a B—”LOL!!

Isn’t Will rumored to be a switch hitter but married still?
Yeah, from all his “tendencies” so well played in role, I’m inclined to believe that he’s leaning. I just don’t see a guy being straight that’s okay “acting” like you do, playing the role almost true to life as if you do and just straight “falling” into those mannerisms…and then act like “I was just kidding.” Not buy.
A man messing with another man would do nothing to my self esteem, because that whole lifestyle has nothing to do with me.
This statement packs a punch…IMO I’m not offended, jealous, bitter, broken down if you’re with me but on the low low getting backdoor activity. I compete with things in my world and going up against a man takes nothing and speaks nothing to where I may lack. Competition with another woman is natural and in my realm or world.

cba – Well, it’s no secret but many gay guys are heavy into fitness & keeping their bodies looking tight. So if I were a gay man and looking for some action, what better way than but to fish in the locker room hanging out with my wang out? lol
kimmie
It was no thang for my roomie in college to get out the shower still dripping wet and come into my room asking me for something in her bday suit. Not sure if that had anything to do with her coming out of the closet years later.

I read this blog almost daily, and this is the first time I feel kinda bad doing so…..Alot of the comments (especially from the guys) sound a bit Homophobic….. Could it be that there are a few men here that are over compensating for something? ( Or lack of something)

SlimNu, I’m very aware of that……you see them all the time
I also see a few lesbo from time to time. There was a couple at the
Conyers LAFit, one lady was very attractive and the other, it took a
a few looks to convince me she’s female.

DB – I would ask my gf. TheDude took my bestie to lunch one Saturday last year. They went to lunch so he could plan a surprise party for me. It ended up not being a surprise because of some different things that happened.
Once she found out that the surprise part of the party planning was off, she told me immediately what was going on.
Could be something like that going on. Or…could be something shady…either way, you won’t know if you don’t ask.
But then too…the question for you….How do you know they are talking to each other behind your back?

(Big) John Holmes (the legendary por no star who died of aids) once said in an interview that “there are two kinds of men in this world. One goes to a skinny dip and takes his clothes off and immediately jumps in the water. The other takes his clothes off and strolls on the bankfor awhile. I reckon I’m a bank walker”.

Although I guess I got used to communal showers in college (very old dorm) and in PE and the Army (and frankly don’t care what every one else has or what they think of mine). Just soap quickly and don’t let eyes wander. And if you drop your soap, you leave it.

Weekly Reader, glad you chimed in with that bit of homosexual propoganda…I can’t say that I see anything overtly deragotory toward the LBGT community today…folks that just speaking on different situations, the biggest problem with the homosexual community is not that straight folks don’t respect them or their rights, but that they want Extra Rights not afforded to anybody just becuase they sleep with the same sex…its their own bigotry that breeds some of the problem.

Randyt, playing football in high school and taking a shower in locke room was no big deal. Also living in the dorms at college was the same. Somehow 30 or 35 years removed from that time period, seeing a naked man in the locker room, I just drop my head

Afternoon All,
Nothing on topic.
Jake – I agree with you. The truly hompohobic folks are very easily spotted. However I’ve noticed as well that the Gay community will paint that picture with anyone that doesn’t agree with their lifestyle.
Purple Reign

Jake I agree, some not all try to force their lifestyle on others. And then they want us to change the laws to accomodate their lifestyle. What’s up with that? I don’t like flamboyant people period, does not matter if they are gay or straight. At any rate I used to despise gays. After much thought I realized they are people to but I should not have to change my lifestyle or something about myself for them. I respect them as people but I don’t deal with them nor do I discriminate against them….well I probably do because I would not hire a gay farm hand knowingly. But the whole gay thing doesn’t bother me anymore I just have my mind on other stuff and business in other places.

@ Leggs, don’t recall the Army ever asking me if I wanted private accomodations. The only thing I remember is how nice my drill sergeant was when he would lightly shake my shoulder around 9:00 AM and ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked. yeah right.

Think about it. Can you even visualize Chaz in a ball gown. Well, Macy Gray did wear one. Nonetheless, Chaz is fully a medically made man now (I believe).

Leggs, why the exclamation point? We get it Chaz is a man woman now. Ladies, what if you find out the man you are dating was once a woman. I already know how most men would act although I am sure some would still stick with the man woman.

I have an almost gay story. My friend and I were going to a game downtown and we saw waht we though was a fine female from a distance in a skin tight dress. I positioned my truck over so that we could drive by where she was on the sidewalk to get a better look, once we got within about ten years we both figured out that it was a transvestite. Neither one of us could joke with the other because we were both fooled. I am glad that light was green so that we could keep on driving. LOL

I think something would still seem a bit strange if I ever came across a woman man. Seems there would still be some hint of their biological make-up. Now, I will admit, some of them are hard to immediately point out.

Told the story before, but pulled up a transexual (looking for tall women for a friend) on Match one time. He/she/it was prettier than most of the women I’ve dated…now that was scary. The adam’s apple was a bit of turnoff and the pics were Glamour Shots which I personally hate. Nonetheless, the pics had all the construction workers at the site thinking he/she/it was hot…until they actually read the profile.
