This is the thread where you can convince me to look at your pic.

For the rest of you feel free to add your opinion. I’ve been holding off to get to know her first. She seems to not like this.  
Pros for looking  
I get to see what she looks like  
I can see her nude (don’t ask)  
Cons for looking  
I can prolong the teasing  
I may be swayed subconsciously by her appearance thus ruining the beginning of what could be a beautiful relationship.

I’d like to state for the record I have NO idea how I get myself into these things.

Now, let’s begin.

Pros:  
Why not? It won’t bite  
You might enjoy it  
You might find me horrifically unattractive, thus letting you sleep at night again. 😃  
I’ll feel better  
The board will benefit from the lack of this thread  
All your friends are doing it  
**Scratchie, Rasa, Morph** and others will kick your Ozzie ASS if you don’t  
As your PA, I insist  
Said beautiful relationship should not be influenced by my looks one way or the other. I don’t know what YOU look like, do I?

Cons:  
I don’t remember the URL  
It’s kinda cute the way you play all coy with me  
You’ll have nothing left to tease me about

Had to play it fair and do both sides myself.

Yes, and YOU said (correctly) that it’s all fuzzy and dark. I can barely tell you’re a carbon-based life form.

Def. a carbon-based lifeform. ANd the only other pics I have of me in digital format atm are… well artistic…

You’ll have to patient and wait for the unpacking to finish and us to reconnect the scanner.

Well I was just about swayed by:

"I’ll feel better "  
and  
"As your PA, I insist "  
but then you came back with

“It’s kinda cute the way you play all coy with me”  
and  
"You’ll have nothing left to tease me about "

And you don’t have the URL anyway…

Jesus H Christ…how the hell did she get in here? I thought we’d all agreed that this place is only for ugly nerds?  
I can see myself being seriously distracted at the next MiniDopeFest.

Apparently you missed all the hotties at the People Pages. Take another look at it, there’s a lot of cuties here.

\<sigh\> I appreciate the fact that my gang is willing to post in any thread with the word Nymysys in it, but I don’t believe any of you are furthering my cause. I need arguements! Logic! Bribes! Something!
