Who wants to join *my* club?
I feel like such a minority here at DU. Being a single, white, heterosexual, uppity male in my 40s who's never been married, has no children (well.. none that I know of ;-)) meat eating, smoking, non-native American, non-Jewish believer in some sort of outside deity, of European decent who likes watching TV is such a rare thing here.

I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo alone. :cry:


:nopity:

but yes, i will go back on my rule (or was it someone else's) of not joining any club that will have me.

can i still be the "one man club?" or the "autoadmiration society?"

4. Can I be a probational member?
Unlike you, I'm female, have been married and have one 19 year old daughter. Oh, and I don't smoke. But otherwise, you described me perfectly. ;)

8. Seriously, you need a forum here.
I'd suggest you propose a group or a forum here. Just write up a mission statement.

:-)

12. Can I sample your club before making a commitment?




And are there dues? Initiation rites? Funny hats? Secret handshakes?


Are non-smoking girl vegetarians even allowed?

21. Awwwwww...being non-male I don't meet all the qualifications
but I'll join anyway. I'm a non-male, heterosexual caucasian who bucks stereotypes, hasn't ever been married, likes steak and potatoes and probably watches too much tee vee. And I'm in my forties.

:cry:

I've got kids, though.

Bunches and bunches and bunches of 'em. Want one of mine?

:eyes:

25. I know how you feel but, I come from the other side
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 11:36 AM by wildhorses
being a white, non-jewish, heterosexual, snobby(?) female in my forties, twice divorced, meat-eating, pot-smoking, country living, southern ecelctic mix of nationalities...I was so scared of being poltically incorrect when I first got on here. Some of the threads I would read seemed so hostile that at first I thought I did not belong here...truly I must be an anarchist unto myself.

33. Let's see...
Have you got room for a married, white, heterosexual, sort-uppity female in her 40s with children who eats meat, drinks beer, and is an ex-smoker?
