Sue…I’ll start forwarding the unrequested naked pics to you
It’s on thing if you get them from someone you’ve been emailing/flirting with for a while. Then it’s nice-gives you that much needed visual:)
But when you get an email from someone saying " Hi I’m realname. I’ve been reading your posts and thought you would like to see this" followed by a jpg file…
Guys…Try establishing a friendship/flirt and if I want to see your crank I’ll ask.
Maybe one way to do it is when you get here
start a thread and present yourself.
I did that,
and I think I wrote something about being Swedish, sexy and blond,
and did I get replyes.
I also got a fiancee, hi Montfort.
I don’t think it has anything to do with your usename; I’m clearly a lady (or a girl, if you will), and I don’t think anyone has ever had a crush on me. By the way, the last part wasn’t a self-pitying invite for shameless flirting. I’m just pointing out a fact. No, really.
Persephone thought I was a boy yesterday!! Yuck, icky, grody!! I am NOT a member of the sex made out of snips and snails and puppy dog tails. (Disclaimer: I have nothing against people made out of snips and snails and puppy dog tails.)
Also, someone in the Pit thought I was, but I didn’t go on a murderous flaming rampage.
And when I talked to Satan online, he thought I was a guy. Took him a couple of weeks, and a discussion about menstruation for him to realize he’d made a big mistake…
It’s times like this I want to change my name to Buttercup.
Well, I think I occasionally throw people when I write about “my husband.”
I’m cranky AS an old man, which is not the same as being an old man.
I could change my name to to “Collar&CuffsMatch,Baby!” but I think that would get me the same weird mail y’all keep talking about.
I dunno Turp, it’s kind of nice, don’t you think, that people have to read us and follow us to know what hot sexy pieces of female tail we are? I mean, consider the analogy of music fans. Everyone disdains the “fans” who say they love No Doubt after they’ve seen one photo of Gwen Stefani. The real fans are the ones that have all the albums and went to concerts back when Stefani & crew were living in their cars and playing crappy clubs.
That’s what we are, baby. Someday they’ll start a thread about us and guys will brag about how they liked us back when everyone thought we were sporting a set of gonads and Ed Zotti was still in diapers and Mr Cynical was still Mr. Cynical. That sort of thing. It’ll be cool.
Heck Turp honey, a few times people have been confused as to my sex, and I have a pretty obviously feminine name. I’d even consider it a fairly sexy feminine name, at least compared to the ones I usually pick out for myself.
I like the name “Lamia” partially because its connotations are the opposite of how I really am. I have, however, found that the SDMB seems a little less quick to assume things about my personality based on my name. For instance, I’ve had many people from other groups assume that I’m some sort of little Goth princess, but that’s rarely happened here.
That must be it! The SDMB membership is so smart they all knew the classical meaning of my name and assumed I was an evil demoness, and decided to leave me alone.
Having been mistaken for a guy in person,[sup]*[/sup] I don’t think I have a prayer with that sexy thing.
*[sub]Because I don’t like to dress “girly”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. [/sub]
