It seems having the word “fire” in your name instills some perception of smoldering passion by other readers and might aid in the pursuit of sexual gratification.
Jarbaby is warm for Coldfire’s form.
I think FireUnderpantsBoobs is intriguing, in part because of her name.
Maybe I’ll give some thought to changing mine.

I’m kinda lost too, FCM. Is this a straightforward thoughts thread or a straightforward who do you want to have sex with thread, or a straightforward flirt thread?
Okay. I believe the information you have posted is a bit too explicit. And that you may one day regret making this post. I say this as the voice of experience that has heard several married members express regrets over similar incidents in the past couple of years.
Ultress, you have once again made me wonder whether you dislike me. I admit I read into things way too much and am overly sensitive. But I will also admit that when I perceive that someone may not like me I go out of my way to please them.
This was not originally intended to be a flirt thread. I had a discussion with my friends last week about what life would be like without any sort of flowery language such as sarcasm, simile or double entendre. So I decided to give it a try. The Coldfire thing came into my head because I saw a picture of him.
And I realize Come and CAME are words similar to expressions relating to orgasm, but I assure you I wasn’t intending that.
Uncle Beer, if you are suggesting that my husband may read this and become angry…he does read all of my threads. He’s a bigger flirt than I could ever dream of being and this is what keeps our marriage on an even keel.

Yup, those were exactly my fears. As long as you’ve considered the potential fallout, we understand each other. Carry on.
I have met the two gentlemen in whom Rachelle expressed an interest, and can say for a fact that they are both attractive, intelligent men with a good sense of humor. I don’t believe she would be disappointed. I am not inclined to have sex with either of them, since they don’t fit my gender requirements, but I look forward to the next time we share a beer and a good game of jenga.
I found upon meeting Dopers a bittersweet realisation that they did not look as I had pictured them in my mind’s eye. This was akin to the movie/book phenomena which Whack has mentioned. Not bad, just not how I pictured. The personalities were generally the same, at least after a few beers. So now I see if I can find a photo before I begin to imagine someone so I don’t have to alter my perception later.
Also, we must consider that i said “I wish” and “I desire” and “I want”
Coldfire and I uniting carnally is something that will never happen. Because I am monogamous, I am in the United States, and I’m not sure he knows I’m alive.
I’ve also expressed interest in having sex with Tony Blair, knowing full well it will never happen.
As a twenty nine year old, i have an active libido.

As a poster who lives by the double entendre, sarcasm, similes, metaphor, smilies, and the occasional d&r I don’t think I’ll have much to say here. Plus I’m not sure if this is going to turn into an all-out flirt thread, which I’ve been trying to stay away from lately.
That said, I will make my straightforward post while trying to avoid flirting:
The Welcome Wagon Threads are not so much for me to act superior to newbies, as it is for me to see as many new people as possible. I will often e-mail the newbies who play back with me in the Welcome Wagon threads because I like making new friends and I like getting e-mails. It really is not just there for me to pad my post count or make the newbies cower in my presence.
See what I mean?
I don’t know how to respond to comments like Beelzebubba’s (I mean the first one). There seem to be only two possible responses:
Yes, we love you, we really love you.
We really are ignoring you.
In my case, neither is particularly true, just don’t have enough data on you at this point to make a worthwhile comment. Maybe focus on something else besides yourself in your posts and then people will respond. I make this statement without researching any of his/her previous posts to see if we have some common ground. Sorry.
I know people who always say what the mean. We call them pariahs. I have had a pariah say to me, “Waverly, your antics were more entertaining when I was still attracted to you, which I no longer am.” This statement injured my self esteem and effectively eliminated the activity known as ‘casual sex between friends.’ The loss of this activity was more injurious than the self esteem issue, as I am a selfish bastard.
:eek: ! Well, I, uh…wow. I always remember that Rachelle was the first to wear a thong for me (in some long-lost thread) but I am shocked and amazed that someone would recall anything I’ve written. I tend to picture myself/my posts sort of gliding across the top of the Board, not really going too deep or hitting anything very large. I’m touched and flattered, though…wow.
A-hem: No similes or metaphor allowed, buddy. 
I’m sort of wavering on my earlier decision that if the Board went “pay to post” I would not stick around. I think if it were reasonable ([sym]£[/sym]$20), I’d have to re-think my position.
I’d like to go to many of the DopeFests coming early in the next year (NY, FL, Bama, CO) but I’m just not sure anymore. For some reason, my interest took a dive and I’ve sort of faltered in my enthusiasm. Mind you, I still would like to see the people, I’m just not as excited about travelling as I was a week or two ago.
I’ve recently been bombarded with stress, and frankly, I love it. It really gives me something to do. While I certainly wish that the sources of my stress would disappear, I would welcome non-threatening stress in the future.
Also, due to my busy-ness as of late, I have come into the knowledge that there are several attractive females in my classes who would like to go out with me. I fully predict that when my life becomes manageable, these women will become unavailable. That will suck immensely. In the meantime, I will content myself with fawning over my good friend’s girlfriend.
Although I do tend to flirt on the internet and in real life quite frequently and without fear, I realized last night that I would absolutely freak out if someone were to actually hit on me and mean it. Because I’m married, I know that all of my flirting is just a game, and I know that the people I flirt with know it’s a game. I don’t flirt with strangers. And if something goes too far, I immediately put a stop to it.
I considered asking a mod to close this thread because it wasn’t going how I wanted it to, and then I realized that would be selfish and pouty. I see now that more people are getting into the game.
It can be difficult for witty, creative people to suspend their use of crafty language. But we’re doing a good job.
And I also note that it’s relatively efficient, if not boring.

He looks nothing like Woody Allen, so you can lay those fears to rest and go ahead and have sex with him.
heh.
I wonder where jarbaby thought this thread should go and why she did not navigate it there more successfully. I wonder about MPISMS in general. I normally enjoy some irreverent humor and flirting, but have decided I fit in better in GD, GQ, and even the pit. I have no answer for why this is, but worry that at 30 I’m becoming more serious, and possibly boring. I will probably overcompensate for this fear by doing something silly and juvenile in the near future.
I apologize to you jarbabyj if I came across as disliking you. As I have stated several several times in the past that is not the case and I do read your threads and posts with a smile. My post was only asking for clarification because of an intended post. I think maybe my posting style is not what you take it to be and that makes me hesitate to even post in your threads. I apologize again and shall refrain in the future.
AGH! Ultress, don’t go! I very much enjoy reading your posts and your contributions. I wan’t looking from an apology from you, I was just voicing what was going on in my head. You’ve already explained in the past about your posting style, and I understand it.
I like you very much, and I like your blunt approach. I am only blunt when I feel it is safe to be blunt. You do it all the time, and I admire that. Please don’t stay away.

People are going to accuse me of sounding elitist or old hat, but here goes anyway-
I miss the old boards. I made quite a few friends here when I first joined, and the vast majority of them have left or only lurk. I hate not knowing at least one post from everyone. It’s not that I don’t like newbies. It’s just that I can’t take trying to make new friends all the time. There are little bits of coolness that simply aren’t here anymore-Canthearya’s contest as IHeartUncleBeer, the original Guy Stuff, Wally’s sigs and so on. Hell, even Serlin was a recognizable factor-sorta like chronic athlete’s foot. But those days are no longer, and I doubt very highly they’re going to come back.
That being said, the Dopefests are simply amazing. The face-to-face manifestations of this board are phenomenal to me (though to ask the Chicago crowd, I don’t make enough of them). I hope to be able to make many more of them, because frankly, getting drunk with near strangers is an oddly exhilirating experience.
Plus, without fail, somebody has sex with someone else at those things. Without fail, I’m telling you.
Jar’s last post just made me think of my classmates. See, the reason my classmates aren’t terribly fond of me is because I’m blunt pretty much all the time. I don’t sugar coat things, and I don’t suffer fools gladly because my classmates are going to be going out into the real world and dealing with people who are mentally ill. So I don’t cut my peers much slack, and it irks them. Well, hey, EXCUSE ME for thinking that if you’re halfway through your masters program you should KNOW what a borderline personality disorder is!! That argument lasted for FOUR WEEKS. Imagine… FOUR WEEKS of discussions centered around how I hurt peoples’ feelings by pointing out to them that they should know their diagnoses by now. I was ready to jam a fork through my nipples just to avoid the topic. And NO, that’s not a metaphor. I seriously considered it. It was THAT BAD.
Anyway, so I have to wonder. Sure, everyone SAYS they like it when people are blunt, but in my experience it’s nice when you want to know if those pants make you look like a hussy, but on a regular basis it annoys the hell out of folks.
Urgh. One hour, twenty minutes and counting.
Hey, jar… thanks. I needed this.
