1. Because the mods would just kick the threads back here anyways.
:shrug: Well, it's better than saying we aren't getting any. :P

36. not to mention that for SOME people,
who shall remain nameless, "actually doing it" is an option in the same category as "jumping over the moon" or "swimming the Atlantic Ocean". Or so I have, uh, heard.

40. Not trying = grad school sucks the life out of me.
I dunno. I have a date this week. I have been on about 5 first dates since I moved down here last September. I have not had a second one yet (with one exception). In all scenarios, except for the exception, the dating was not continued due to me not being impressed. I don't think I have high standards, either. The girls I met in Milwaukee were much better than the ones I have met here. I'm sure something will happen soon enough, but I am usually not the type to pick up a drunk girl at the bar and screw her and never talk to her again.

Keep to the higher standards to which you have become accustomed. (lots of available women here! - and we have personalities!) :)

49. I love Wisconsin girls...
Everyone here seems to not have a grip on who they actually are. Everyone thinks they are "better" than they really are. I think it has a lot to do with living in such a huge, highly competitive city. Wisconsin women are much, MUCH more down to earth.

Either you're a stuck-up preppy or a stuck-up artist down here. No value is given on being humble. Or responsible. It's all about what they want down here, and what they want is ridiculously unrealistic.

17. Very good question.
Perhaps if we were equally concerned about our own, we wouldn't spend so much time in the Lounge, and would, instead, be lounging with our loves?

Hmm... I think I better go now.

23. It's a simple and quick way to
get your rocks off learn something personal about people without being too invasive. They'll only tell as much as they're comfortable with telling, but they'll tell that readily.

37. Nope
You just dunno the code yet. :7

It's easier to explain it this way: Click the link at the top of the compose-post window that says "HTML lookup table." You'll see instructions for how to format text in bold, italic, etc. Instead of the 'b' for bold, for example, use an 's' (for "strikeout").

Then you can do cool stuff like this.

35. Yeah, that's kinda what I meant
Most of us are voyeurs to some degree, as well as exhibitionists. As long as it's kept light-hearted, what the hell?

Light-hearted is good. That's the best way to talk about the naughtier stuff sometimes.
