From: Scylla Rhiadra But the rest rooms are rather small. And it would be difficult, I think, to bring a "friend" into one without being noticed by the entire car. Not to mention the fact that they have VERY thin walls that would render pretty much any, um, noise, audible to everyone within about 10 metres. So are there any downsides to it? From: Scylla Rhiadra Besides (she added hastily), what I was talking about was more in the realm of making eye contact, gentle flirting, etc., etc. Sounds like a waste of time to me. From: Scylla Rhiadra (I am really and truly afraid to inquire into the reason behind your reference to bulldog clips . . .  ) Be afraid, be very afraid. Pep (Don't they have bulldog clips in Canada?)

And here, you see, is where your education has gone so very very wrong. Sometimes there is nothing more delicious than an extended nonverbal flirtation with an intriguing stranger. Glancing up, and seeing that he is watching you surreptitiously. Being "caught" look at him. Watching him shift in his seat because you KNOW he wants a better view . . . You need to develop your sexual imagination a bit more. It's not ALWAYS about fitting tab A into slot B, you know: brain sex is where it is REALLY at. As, I suspect, almost any woman on this forum could confirm for you.

From: Scylla Rhiadra Trains in Canada . . . proper ones, I mean, not subway trains . . . all feature seats that face in the same direction. It's a really dull arrangement, that makes doing ANYTHING with young men on trains virtually impossible.  Aw, it wasn't as bad as you thought. We get a lot of tourists and students traveling by train over the summer and when they travel in groups they get rowdy. They also tend to get stuck standing by the doors. Many of them, particularly the Spanish young men, forget anyone might understand them. I get great mileage out of them once I have given them enough rope to hang themselves. Nothing sweeter than making a young man blush, doubletake and then grin at you with a twinkle in his eye  |

From: Deira Llanfair Jig, I really do not like to see a young woman describe herself as "a good catch"! I think it is old fashioned and demeaning and I should not want my daughter thinking like that. I thought the days when a woman's main purpose in life was to get a man were long gone!
Honestly, the younger generation make me wonder why I burnt my bra! Think of the Suffragettes! You should be ashamed of yourself! Well, I think I'm a good catch, but I'm not a woman, nor is being "caught" my main purpose in life. |

From: Pserendipity Daniels You'll probably be horrified to hear that proscribed literature in our house is any and all chicklit that might suggest that marriage arrangements should be based on some non-existent concept called "love". I'm struggling to comprehend how a "non-existant concept" could even have a name. The concept exists, regardless of whether you think it corresponds to something real. Unicorns are nonexistent, but the concept of unicorns is not. |

The concept exists, regardless of whether you think it corresponds to something real. Unicorns are nonexistent, but the concept of unicorns is not. I have yet to have had the concept satisfactorily explained to me, Lear. Pep (Therefore, as far as I am concerned, it does not exist.)

From: Pserendipity Daniels You have to be more specific.
When women are 30-40 is the only decade worth bothering with them.
1. They can be desperate, to get married and/or to have a baby before the biological clock stops ticking, which makes them conveniently credulous.
2. Their looks haven't got too jaded and they usually haven't yet had to resort to surgery to unsag.
3. Occasionally, their brains have switched on, although this doesn't last long; for a short period they realise that they can't change men, although this tends to revert after a while.
4. When they exclaim "Oh God!" in bed, it doesn't yet mean that they have realised the ceiling needs repainting.
5. They have generally got enough money that you don't need to be subsidising their every whim. If they haven't . . . well, forget them.
Pep (So your "Golden Years" are imminent Jig. Make the most of them. It is downhill for women, but not for men - thereafter.) I have a rather different take on this. IMHO, beautiful women are at their most beautiful in their 30's, and often into their 40's. This beauty is amplified by their greater social and mental maturity. They tend to have a much better idea of what they want and don't want, and are often (seemingly contrarily, but not) more open to new things, with more eclectic tastes. In SL, our avatars age quite gracefully, so the ravages of time are insignificant. Ain't that grand? I have lady friends in their 60's who are delightfully sexy, and have enjoyed what I've learned from them. I'm sure there are septuagenarians and octagenarians like that as well. Jig's points about men's aging process isn't any big disclosure. It's a well-known fact that a man's ability to get an erection slows down as his prostrate presses into the arteries supplying the blood (just as men often have morning erections due to full bladders pressing into the veins). This also comes with a reduced sensitivity, but that can have its advantages, especially for those women who like sex to last longer! IMHO, the biggest issues for couples with a 30-year gap are social ones. I mean, I can't ask a 20 year old where she was when Kennedy was shot! Discussing music can be, well, less than fully engaging. On the other hand, big social difference can be stimulating, between two people with the right attitudes. Another issue, for an older man and a younger woman, is that his libido is waning while hers is waxing. From this point of view, relationships between older women and younger men make more sense. Any older women out there? Oops, I'm no longer a younger man. Well, I won't let that stop me! |
