The board is wonky tonight…bumped me off before I was done (something to avoid when setting that perfect, romantic scene:D) and then posted a version with a typo I had corrected. :mad: ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > I dunno, I think the \*worst \*option would be a pair of cheap white crew socks, the kind that come 12 to a pack for $5 and hit about mid-calf. Preferably ones that have been worn around all day without shoes, so the bottoms are all groady. What you’re all ignoring is that guys wear socks in pr0n, and guys in p0rn are in pron for a reason. Um, I mean, I’ve heard. ---

Yeah, because they’re skeezy looking so that the hetero men watching don’t feel intimidated. Also, there is plenty of porn with sockless dudes. That I recall, anyway. I think I would have noticed if they were wearing socks, since socks bug me. ---

Ha! See, this is why I shouldn’t read the SDMB while on the phone. My voice broke into an almost-chuckle out loud. The guy was probably wondering wtf was so funny, but he almost-chuckled back. I think I’m safe. ---

It takes a real woman to recognize a marred nonstick coating. ---

No, the chunks of toxic shit flaking off are usually pretty self-evident. ---

I don’t know what to suggest since I don’t know your gf, but wanted to say congrats man. I remember your posts about having trouble with girls. You seem like a good guy so I am glad that you found a girl who appreciates ya. My boyfriend and I did celebrate “Monthaversaries” when we started out. If other people dont understand, oh well. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/six-month-anniversay-with-my-girlfriend-how-can-i-make-it-special/553826.md?page=2)
