Size matters.. and it doesn’t?
Fill a room with single women and ask them the most debatable question about men: Does size matter? You probably could divide the room down the middle on each side of the issue. A man’s size matters. It doesn’t matter. It depends.
I often wonder if men worry about their size as much as women worry about their weight. Are they self-conscious? Do they feel anxiety before they are intimate with their partner?
I know one thing, it is something some men definitely don’t want to talk about! I can recall having an awkward conversation with my ex-boyfriend Curry. He admitted that he was self-conscious about his size. We had been together for a long time before he ever admitted this to me.
Of course, women know to treat this with sensitivity (no pun intended, really!) but what should we do to reassure men that it doesn’t matter?
What happens if it does matter, though?
Has the size question ever come up in conversation with someone you dated/are dating? Is it something that should be avoided?
When it comes to dealing with issues with size, what is the best plan of action in your opinion?
P.S. I know it’s a sensitive topic…let’s still keep the conversation PG, please? Happy Friday!

I think that it just seems that way because there are no real expectations from the silent ones. Then, the strobe lights starts and she isn’t silent anymore. Thoughts from the past.
Mrs. PG didn’t tell me about her gymnastics background until after whoopie (channeling Ol’ Bob Eubanks from the old Newlywed Game)

One episode had a neighbor’s kid trying to steal a car. It is actually good information since I am considering buying a 1974 Chevy Nova. I like working on old cars and something reselling them. Once i rebuilt a 1970 Camaro and gave it to my dad. We worked on cars together when I was a kid. Those old cars are easier to work with because there are less computer stuff than on more recent cars.
But anyway, it is good to know what people want to steal cars. a Chevy Nova is the exact car that is endangered in my area. i see them in the summer and spring in Maddox Park and Mozely Park. It looks like a car show over there.

Stereotypically looking at it..and maybe in a lol debauchery way…..I think a bossy woman is best served when her tatas are ample as well..
just saying…
I’m trying to imagine a skinny chic,no chest trying to dorminate me..the visual seems comical..
Common…u think I’m str8 on this or way left.
Skinny Slim..don’t hate me…

I loved the Gym girls at the USC, I made a point to get acquainted with the Gym Dogs, too. When I visited friends at UGA.

Yes the reaction(i.e. the looks on y’alls faces) is priceless and does wonders for the woman’s ego…umm so I’ve heard..

I have had a thought or two of the same, especially, when you mentioned DST. My wife is all excited about 2013 and DST 100 in DC.
I realized that you two were different when you mentioned criminal court. My wife is an attorney, too. Her firm is located in midtown where many lawyers offices located. We met for margaritas at tin lizzy’s in midtown.
Plus my wife get into the game a bit much to have been a cheerleader. Those pom-poms are just a distraction from the game to her.
